Chapter 167: Professor Ai Arrives, New Characters Appear
After two calls, the leopard cat slowly moved forward, keeping its eyes fixed on Su Xiaocai to prevent her from attacking.
Su Xiaocai knows that cats are creatures that you should never approach if they don't trust you. Cats grow up in the wild and are very wild. Forcing contact with them will cause a stress reaction, and they will be even harder to approach next time.
It is very different from Huahua’s family. Huahua has a high IQ and will not tear up long-term meal tickets.
Develop some feelings and you can do whatever you want.
The leopard cat walked to the front of the house, unwilling to get close, scratched the ground, and meowed twice.
Huahua meowed back impatiently.
The leopard cat, like a reluctant young wife, finally reached the bowl.
While eating the food in the bowl, it did not relax and kept staring at Su Xiaocai to see if she had any intention of attacking it.
In the corridor, Su Xiaocai and Xiaowanzi were on one side, and the two cats were on the other side, and they were all very quiet.
Su Xiaocai didn't feed Xiaowanzi too much, just a few bites, to let the leopard cat get used to the food.
This big cat is not a picky eater, except for insect-men, which are very heavy and dangerous to animals.
After the leopard cat finished eating its portion, it sniffed the food in Huahua's bowl and immediately lost its appetite. It rubbed Huahua, but Huahua pressed its head with its paw, insisting that it would finish eating first before playing with it.
Seeing that they were getting along well, Su Xiaocai stopped observing and was quite satisfied with Huahua's young wife.
She told Chibi Maruko to keep a close eye on Huahua and not let the leopard cat kidnap her.
Chibi Maruko looked at Huahua, who was as lazy as a cat after eating. The possibility of her running away was close to zero. It was difficult to live frugally. Besides, Huahua had a high IQ and strong fighting power. She would not get lost outside and could not come back, unless someone came to catch her on purpose.
Under normal circumstances, it cannot return to nature and has become a complete domestic cat.
Two days later, the entire city was cleaned up, and all the remaining insect people and dilapidated buildings were cleared away.
The workload was so huge that the contestants were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they lay down every day, ate at a certain time, and did not do any activities.
On this day, a group of scholars arrived on a small warship.
Many famous scholars came, each with two assistants. The number was huge, more than expected.
When Lieutenant General Bai went to greet them, they were all surprised.
He asked Colonel Yuan and his secretary, "Has the battle been won on the front line? Don't these scholars usually like to hide in quiet places?"
"It was Ai Shengping and several professors... They were reluctant to leave Su Xiaocai."
"Then they go back and discuss with some friends..." Knowledge cannot be concealed. The friends of these scholars are usually also scholars, with some ability and connections, so they will naturally follow them no matter how hard it takes.
If nothing else, the fact that Su Xiaocai is here is worth the risk for them to take.
Just like in the mecha master circle, many players come for Lieutenant General Bai himself. They want to follow him to the sea of stars and fight against the Zerg.
In the academic circle, Ai Shengping is a top figure, but ordinary people don't know much about him.
All college students majoring in mechatronics, architecture, and mechanical engineering who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination want to apply to become his graduate students.
Let’s put it this way, factors such as the professor’s research funding, professional title level, and research project progress will limit the number of graduate student places.
But Ai Shengping does not have such restrictions. Just by saying a word, he can have an additional graduate student under his name.
Lieutenant General Bai: "Su Xiaocai has such a great influence in the academic circle?"
"Bigger than you think." Colonel Yuan told Lieutenant General Bai, "Su Xiaocai's performance in this expert-level insect exam was outstanding, as all the other examinees were annihilated. So many top students couldn't solve the problems as fast as she did, nor did they have a high accuracy rate. You can imagine how amazing she is."
Lieutenant General Bai pondered secretly, so when she took the college entrance examination, she didn’t get full marks just because she wanted to keep a low profile?
I am not afraid of the academic genius getting full marks, I am afraid that she will control the scores. When she doesn't want to control the scores, no one can surpass her.
Su Xiaocai: It’s not that I want to keep a low profile. I know that in order to get points for some questions, I need to fill in the answers that I think are wrong, so I choose not to do it.
There is a quota for each expert-level exam, and it does not mean that you will definitely be admitted if you pass the exam.
So this is not an uncommon thing.
After welcoming the scholars, Lieutenant General Bai turned around to train the contestants. He would organize a battle tomorrow.
Group battle.
Individual soldiers without teams will be led by soldiers equipped with mechanical limbs.
The professors were handed over to Colonel Yuan for reception, and Colonel Yuan said that they would be arranged in an underground laboratory with a high security level.
Ai Shengping waved his hand quickly: "Where is Professor Su? Where is she? Who is safer than being with her? I believe in her security level."
"It's inconvenient to disclose. She has already refused all visits. If the professor wants to contact her, why not send her a private message?"
"You're being unfair. We just want to be closer to Professor Su." Ai Shengping was familiar with Colonel Yuan and pulled him by the shoulder. "Can you arrange for us to live closer to each other?"
It was rare to see Professor Ai being naughty, and Colonel Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that I don't want to arrange it, but there's no one else who can live there except her house."
"It's okay. We brought our own portable room and protective cover. Safety is guaranteed."
Colonel Yuan: “…” But Su Xiaocai wants some peace and quiet. If so many of you go to disturb her, she will get mad at him.
Su Xiaocai was so bold as to invade the artificial intelligence on Planet 022 and take over Planet 022.
Colonel Yuan was almost on his knees. He couldn't pretend to obey Su Xiaocai but actually disobey her. This little ancestor was even harder to serve than Lieutenant General Bai.
"I'll ask first."
"You go, you go, remember to say hello for me."
Colonel Yuan sighed and turned aside to make a phone call.
That eager gaze made his back itch.
After receiving Colonel Yuan's request, Su Xiaocai was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said, "If you want to live near me, I have a few requests."
"Use the communicator, don't knock on the door. I heard there's a professor from the College of Agriculture here, you can live close to me, but you can't touch my land. Communication is free, but you have to pay to ask for advice, so make sure you know the difference before you come. For those who want to take classes, except for the ten on the list, the rest have to pay, and I'll give you the price list later."
In the second round of classes, there were still ten students, and Su Xiaocai had to teach different things.
The last class focused on mecha and artificial intelligence, and the second class was on mechanical limb maintenance.
They value the establishment of a theoretical system and in-depth understanding, so most of them are professors who are highly respected or have great potential.
This time the course is about the maintenance of triangular protectors, mechanical limbs and specially developed black-wing aircraft. The staff is young, including both men and women.
After knowing Su Xiaocai's idea, Ai Shengping felt that she was right to do so. Not everyone can come to her if they want to learn something.
Among the many professors present here, not every one of them is grateful. Some of them are here simply to take advantage.
Soon, Su Xiaocai sent over the price list.
Colonel Yuan took a closer look and said, "So... so many zeros."
Consulting questions cost more than 100,000 yuan per question. Basically, the more profitable the company is, the more expensive it charges.
The fee for a class starts at one million.
Professor Ai Shengping looked at it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He said that Su Xiaocai's course is worthwhile and what you learn is profitable.
He nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, take me there now."
Other professors who didn't know Su Xiaocai pulled Colonel Yuan over and also wanted to see the price list.
I was a little dumbfounded. Didn't we agree to be generous and magnanimous? Why did she charge money?
Several professors walked aside and murmured in dissatisfaction, "Is he a fake? He deliberately teamed up with Ai and the others to do bad things."
"Ai Shengping is not that kind of person."
"But Mr. Su has started charging a fee, and it's so expensive, it's like he's robbing us."
Ai Shengping heard it and was too lazy to argue. What they were planning was no different from robbing money.
After learning the knowledge, they develop finished products and hand them over to the manufacturers, and KuKu makes money.
At that time, not only will they not think that Su Xiaocai has made any contribution, but they will also criticize her behind her back, "Hey, this is what our shareholders got from Su Xiaocai for free. She is so stupid."
Even in the autobiography he compiled later, he would not mention the person who taught him, and would only boast about having learned it for free.
Ai Shengping snorted coldly, gave all the luggage to his assistant, asked the bodyguard to build the house first, and went to meet Su Xiaocai.
He has two identities. One is a leading professor at the Junyue School, and the other is affiliated with the military. His contribution has exceeded that of a general, but he has no real power.
Loyalty is absolutely guaranteed without fear of doubt.
If he wants to attend classes, will the military just sit back and watch?
Even if she doesn't spend money, she will use resources to pay for it. Insect men, plant seeds, minerals, new materials, Su Xiaocai likes them all.
Ai Shengping quickly chose a good seat and then sent a private message to Su Xiaocai.
After receiving Su Xiaocai's reply, he went to visit Su Xiaocai with two cages of live chickens and a box of white mice.
The chickens in the cage poked their heads out, stretched and retracted them, and made clucking sounds.
Colonel Yuan found it difficult to evaluate this gift.
Professor Ai, a gentle and polite man from the city, became extremely down-to-earth, even a little rustic, after coming into contact with Su Xiaocai.
I pulled up my trouser legs and didn't mind walking barefoot on the muddy ground.
When Su Xiaocai saw Ai Shengping's gift, her frown relaxed. Good, a live chicken.
Now, let alone live chickens, even whole frozen chickens are not available for sale in the city.
The meat sellers were limited to selling fish meat, and they were lucky to have fish to sell. It took several days to clear out the insects in the sea. If it weren't for the giants in the sea who could fight with the insects, there would probably be very few fish left.
"Are you here to rebuild the mechanical planet this time?"
Ai Shengping was not afraid to tell Su Xiaocai, "We were invited to teach some of the contestants knowledge, and also to build a satellite base over the Blue Star."
"Not building a new mechanical planet? Didn't Admiral Bai say you were still drawing the ship diagram?"
"I'm not the only one involved in the aircraft carrier blueprints. I'll take the time to discuss with them online. The front line here is more urgent, and the satellite base is equivalent to the rear of the battle line. You are familiar with the geographical location here, and food supply is a bit difficult."
Blue Star can develop planting and breeding industries.
The construction of satellite bases, including large ring-shaped space shuttles, is the key to free trade.
After all, only large warships can perform self-jumping, and other aircraft carriers do not meet the conditions.
There is a loophole in the space jump point. If you know the anchor point, you can cross the galaxy.
The opposing empire has always wanted to come to the border, so the ring-shaped space shuttle is usually moving.
The anchor point needs to be connected through software to locate the aircraft carrier.
Otherwise, it is very likely that people from the empire would directly travel through space.
There were also imperial nobles who bowed their heads and begged us, saying that as long as we gave them a small place, they would be willing to come here with a lot of resources.
The top leaders of the Ten-Star Republic didn't believe their lies at all. The empire was able to grow to its current size entirely through invasion and war.
Now that we are being attacked by insect people, we need to find a safe place to hide.
When it comes to peace and comfort in the rear, which country can compare to this place?
Why does the Empire have so many spies lurking in the ten star systems? It's because they are still determined to come here in a group.
Anyway, according to the way the empire plays its game, once they set their eyes on something, they think it’s theirs, and if you don’t give it to them, they’ll be even more greedy.
This is why the ten star systems are so resistant to contact with the Empire.
"I might have to trouble you, Teacher Su, to take care of me then." The fact that Ai Shengping could say this meant that the higher-ups hoped that Su Xiaocai would be involved.
Su Xiaocai also appreciated it, "Okay, if you have any questions that I can answer, why not ask me."
"Can I sign up for the course?"
"Why did you sign up for that? You'll understand the courses you learn after you've absorbed them. What a waste of money."
"That's not right. Maybe I can learn something new from the course."
"It would be awkward if I took your money." Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "I heard that you are going to take in apprentices. If you take these two people from my team, everything else will be easy."
Ai Shengping's knowledge is enough to guide Sasha and Leilei.
With him around, there's no need to worry about them being bullied.
Ai Shengping knew Feng Wansha and Li Leilei.
Feng Wansha was okay, but Ai Shengping felt that Li Leilei's character was still a little bad. Ai Shengping, who was always very strict with his apprentices, agreed with a smile.
Su Xiaocai generously let him attend classes for free.
If you can get more chickens, ducks and geese, you can try your best. She loves to eat them.
The chickens were still alive, and Su Xiaocai instructed Xiaowanzi to help her build a chicken coop.
Leopard cats are wild cats.
Without a chicken coop, these chickens would probably become its prey.
On the other hand, contestants who want to take classes can choose professors on the software, and after they have chosen, it will be the professor's turn to choose them.
If someone is not selected, they can either quit or continue training. There is no second choice.
Feng Wansha and Li Leilei followed Ai Shengping very smoothly, and they were the only two apprentices following Ai Shengping.
There are too many people for Ai Shengping to teach, so he has brought in two assistants. The two assistants are graduate students and also need guidance.
……
Soon after, the Blue Star Restart Plan began. Lieutenant General Bai took a group of people to outer space to kill insects. More than 100,000 contestants formed a new army and arrived near the destroyed mechanical planet, killing insects every day.
When we come across intact equipment or building materials, we take them back to Blue Star for refurbishment and reuse.
While vegetable farmers are busy outside, Su Xiaocai is diligently planting on Blue Star, and she even has more freedom than when she was on Su's Planet.
She discovered that Blue Star has a lot of thunderstorms, which is very suitable for experimenting with growing blue and gold healing mushrooms.
She drove a hoe mecha into the forest to find rotten wood, moved it back to the fields, and planted it nearby.
Pour water on the rotten wood, then apply the spores on the rotten wood.
While she was working hard, a Blue Star native passed by. He was very handsome, young and energetic.
For some reason, Su Xiaocai could sense a familiarity in him.
He suddenly came over to greet her, "What are you planting?"
"Grow some wood ear mushrooms to eat." Su Xiaocai made it up casually.
As for what will grow out of the rotten wood, that is a matter for the future.
There was silence for a moment, and the embarrassment seemed to be contagious. The two majors who came over to help Su Xiaocai move the wood slowly passed by the young man.
Major Liu looked at him for a long time, "Why don't you ask who I am?"
Even more embarrassing.
The young man touched his nose and introduced himself: "I am a volunteer who stayed on Blue Star. My last name is Yang Zhao. I live on the edge of the city now. Are you an agricultural expert? Or are you a volunteer like me?"
This person has a different temperament when he smiles.
Precious?
Su Xiaocai couldn't explain it, so she made up a story: "No, don't look at my white skin, I'm a farmer, specializing in growing vegetables."
The two majors who had taken off their shirts were sweating profusely. Su Xiaocai pointed at them and said, "These are my two brothers." She didn't say anything else as she was too lazy to introduce them.
"Really?" The young man glanced at the two majors, then returned his gaze to Su Xiaocai, "Do you need my help?"
"Are you interested in me?" Su Xiaocai smiled sweetly, so sweet that it was scary.
Everyone who knows her knows that she is calculating.
The two major brothers didn't know and thought she had a good impression of the young man in front of her.
"Sister, ignore the stranger. He said he was a volunteer, but who knows if he is a bad guy. Bad guys don't have it written on their faces."
Yang Zhao looked innocent and asked suspiciously, "You are not locals, right? Although we Blue Star people are wary of outsiders, we will not say bad things to their faces."
"is it?"
"Yes, and you don't have a Blue Star accent." Yang Zhao observed sharply, "They are soldiers, right? Are you a military logistics officer?"
Su Xiaocai put down the things at hand, "Yes, yes, logistics. So you want to help me grow vegetables? Have you ever grown vegetables?"
His fingers are very slender and have no calluses, but you can tell that he has muscles and is someone who exercises regularly.
Yang Zhao said honestly: "I have never grown vegetables, but I can learn." He rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the field.
With just this one step, Su Xiaocai was sure that he really had no experience in plowing the fields, because he was stepping on a ridge that had just been watered and was the softest soil.
Just get your feet wet with the soft mud.
His face froze, but he quickly recovered.
"Since you're begging me to help you plant it, then go ahead. These are coconut cabbage seeds. Help me plant them. I'll teach you."
Su Xiaocai was really patient in teaching him how to grow crops.
Yang Zhao accepted well
Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Su Xiaocai saw this and was kind enough to give him a straw hat.
Originally this was done by a robot, but since he wants to experience it personally, let's let this noble man experience the difficulties of farmers.
And then nothing happened. Su Xiaocai looked at the time and went to make lunch for her new neighbor, the leopard cat.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do. Please continue planting."
"It's okay. I said I would help you, and I will definitely finish it."
"Thank you."
Su Xiaocai walked away. The two majors were in a dilemma. They felt a little embarrassed to see the young man still planting. They had to follow him without any expression as they had to do their duty.
After Su Xiaocai filled the leopard cat's small bowl with food and placed it next to the chair where Riping was sitting, she chose to sit on the other side of the veranda this time so that the leopard cat could get familiar with her scent.
The drones were flying overhead. The two majors checked the surroundings and told Su Xiaocai, "That guy is still planting."
They sat while he worked.
It seems like bullying honest people.
Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, my great son.
It's the end of the month, please cast your sacred vote.
Thank you! !
