"I'm not going! I want to sleep! Ah Qing, pets are not allowed in school!"
"My existence is something that can't be exposed, once the teachers see me, they'll kick me out..."
Ansheng, unwilling to get out of bed, clung tightly to the sheets with his paws and looked back at Ah Qing, who was trying to lift him up by the waist, and started to complain.
"It's okay, Professor Huang and the others have seen you, and they really like you, they won't bully you..."
It's true that pets aren't allowed in school, but for some reason Xiaolan became an exception. The professors and teachers would occasionally ask Ah Qing about the little fox, urging her to take the fox around the school instead of staying cooped up in the dorm all day.
Ah Qing used to awkwardly say that the fox was accustomed to staying up at night and sleeping during the day.
Apparently.
The professors accepted the little fox and even permitted her to bring the fox to the classroom.
"I think I understand what it means when the fox has a gloomy face."
Momo, sitting on a chair and packing her things to head to the classroom, looked at the little fox lying sideways on the desk, looking utterly bored, then turned to Ah Qing and shouted:
"The little fox seems to know what class means. Be careful during class, don't let Xiaolan run to the podium and start writing chemical formulas."
"Otherwise, the teacher will lose face." Momo teased Ah Qing.
"......" Listening to the conversation between Momo and Ah Qing, Ansheng discreetly poked his head out, his mouth twitching slightly.
No... it's not possible. Tutoring students on homework isn't part of my career plan.
Not now, not ever.
There are some very specialized data measurements that Ansheng may not understand, but in agricultural studies, when it comes to breeding, cultivation, and fertilizer science, which are more practice-oriented, Ansheng can jump in and point things out to the teachers.
But when it involves genetics and entomology, Ansheng is completely clueless.
The classification of agricultural studies is very broad, and no one can cover everything, from farming to genetic inheritance, the agricultural curriculum includes it all, even how to efficiently fertilize and test the soil are part of the same subject.
"I'm heading out now!"
Ah Qing put a straw hat on her head, picked up Fox Fox candy and placed it on her shoulder, speaking to the dorm room.
Ah Qing walked out from the dormitory, but instead of heading towards the classroom, she went towards the experimental fields, greeting other students who were gathering.
Ah Qing's agricultural class usually doesn't need to be in the classroom in the mornings.
Arriving at the experimental fields, Ah Qing and her classmates began patrolling the fields, removing weeds and insects while wearing gloves, then placing them into jars for shaking.
After finishing the patrol of the experimental fields, the agricultural students activated the irrigation equipment to water the crops.
The experimental fields are entirely manual work, and there isn't anything too high-tech involved, even fertilizer is scattered at the base of each plant with a plastic bag.
Once the irrigation of the experimental fields was complete, the students naturally headed to the bike shed, where groups of three or five picked up drones and loaded barrels of pesticides onto tricycles.
A group of students set off.
By the time they reached the off-campus farmland, Professor Huang was already waiting by the fields, sitting by the irrigation ditch, munching on buns and fried dough sticks.
Once he saw the students had arrived, he tossed the plastic bag he was holding onto a car:
"Before we start class, we have an extracurricular practice lesson today."
Professor Huang took a cardboard box from the trunk of the car and raised it, saying:
"Lesson number one, for certain special pests, like red fire ants, the most effective pesticides aren't the ones you buy from regular farm stores, or use fire, but rather register at the nearest township agriculture department and receive the extermination pesticides issued by the state for free."
"Today, I'm teaching you how to exterminate red fire ants, they're different from regular invasive species."
Professor Huang waved his hand, forming an advance team with several teachers and students, heading into the fields to spread the pesticide.
Professor Huang's pesticide method is quite unique; he didn't spread it directly into the ant nest. Instead, he formed a circle around the entrance, ensuring that every red fire ant entering or exiting would touch the white powder he laid down.
"What's old Huang up to?"
Sitting by the side of the field, not entering with the students, Ansheng found old Huang's cautiousness strange and asked the teacher next to him.
"The professor is worried about disturbing the ant queen. In fact, the red fire ant nest in the field is likely to have undergone Spiritualization."
The agricultural teacher looked at Master Fuli, saying: "Even though the farm outside isn't as specialized as the experimental fields, we sometimes directly use the leftover Spiritual Particle Plant material for students. When harvest season comes, we send it to the cafeteria to be cooked as regular dishes."
"However, due to fertilizer reasons, occasionally some spirit beasts will grow in our school's fields." The agricultural teacher looked at Master Fuli, saying: "That's why Professor Huang is teaching students how to eliminate low-level Spiritualized pests."
"Spreading the pesticide is just preparing the ground; later we'll use probes to inject propane into the ant nest and detonate it. We call this method 'Gaseous Explosion Extermination of Pests.'"
The high temperature of the explosion can scorch the ants, and the subsequent aftershock can directly collapse the nest.
Normally, gaseous propane explosion is a very dangerous pest extermination method and is rarely used, as improper use can easily blow oneself up or cause burns.
But the red fire ant nest isn't ordinary, relying on pesticides to kill them is less effective than borrowing a few pump trucks from the School of Civil Engineering to pour a few cubic meters of concrete into the nest.
So.
Taking the opportunity, Professor Huang is prepared to teach the students the propane gas explosion pest control method and the even fiercer carbon dioxide gas chain explosion extermination method.
"Is it safe?"
With a slightly odd expression, Ansheng looked at the teacher and said: "You better not blow them all into the sky when you blast them."
"Leopard Head might bite you all to death..."
"It's supposed... supposed to be safe, right? We've already injected a large amount of pesticide inside, once the propane explodes, followed by the carbon dioxide gas explosion and pesticide injection, they can't survive." The agricultural teacher, hearing Master Fuli's question, paused and with some hesitation, responded.
Regarding farming, he is an expert, and no one can point fingers at his cultivation.
But in terms of spirit beasts, Master Fuli is a true top expert in Xia Country.
Master Fuli's casual question directly shook the agricultural teacher's confidence.
After all... about spirit beasts, he only knows an apprentice level of it.
"Let me go ask, Professor Huang..."
"No, we should call the professors from the School of Animal Science, to come study what should be blown up, maybe we need to blow the entire field sky-high..."
The somewhat nervous agricultural teacher took out his phone and called the School of Animal Science for reinforcements.
Master Fuli: "...."
Buddy, I just casually asked, you might want to check the cold sweat on your forehead! It's like a fountain, geez!
