Ma Lin's summary of this era is that education is too backward.
The foremost problem in social development is the population is too small, and the number of people with basic education is too few.
Now, there are opportunities everywhere for scientific discovery, but there's simply no suitable personnel around.
Currently, only 'Smarty Pants' is true talent.
It's 'Smarty Pants' who helped Ma Lin remove the stubborn impurities in glass production, making the glass completely transparent, thus suitable for production and life needs.
This truly was a great help to Ma Lin.
Nowadays 'Smarty Pants' is attempting to develop stainless steel.
This is the task given by Ma Lin.
Ma Lin suggests 'Smarty Pants' to collect and produce more varieties of metals and then observe the properties when mixed with steel; the concentration of the mixture would have many effects on its properties.
Doing this is very difficult and consumes countless efforts.
