Chapter 110

New cubs?

Su Ci was a little surprised. After all, judging from the current situation on Prison Star, it shouldn't be suitable to take in any more cubs, right?

Perhaps understanding this, Guo Hui sent another message soon.

[Administrative Department - Guo Hui]: The new cubs set off several months ago and have been sailing with the spacecraft for several months now. It is not easy to send them back.

After a long interstellar voyage, not only the cubs, but even adults can't stand it. If they are sent back the same way, it may have a worse impact on the cubs' psychology.

What's more, even if they are deported, the original welfare institution may not be willing to take them in again.

[Administrative Department - Guo Hui]: I will organize her information and send it to you later, please prepare it well.

[Administrative Department - Guo Hui]: By the way, Keeper Su, the Inspector asked me to remind you that your cubs' growth records have not been uploaded. This is an important basis for assessment, so please pay attention to it.

Su Ci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Inspector?

[Administrative Department - Guo Hui]: The inspector is currently on a long vacation. He will be back before the end of your probation period. During his vacation, he will also check your work status remotely regularly. Please be aware of this.

Although, the fact that Su Ci could hold on for so long was already beyond everyone's expectations in the Administration Department—

Not only did it break the curse that keepers could not last more than a week, but also no nanny robots were scrapped during this period.

Although new nanny robots are already being applied for, the number of nanny robots scrapped every year at the 24th Base is ridiculously high, which has now caused dissatisfaction among the Star Alliance, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to apply.

The application may be approved in the end, but the cycle is getting longer and longer, which is also a problem that causes headaches for the administrative department.

And now, they seem to see hope.

Therefore, Guo Hui didn't want to make things too difficult for Su Ci. After saying the above, she continued to send messages.

[Administrative Department - Guo Hui]: You don't need to be too nervous. We really hope that you can pass the probation period, but you also know that some necessary procedures still need to be followed.

The implication was to let Su Ci deal with it simply so that they could go through the process.

Su Ci touched his chin, looked at A Yan across from him, and asked, "Have you continued the growth diary I asked you to write before?"

A Yan nodded and said into the communicator, "Does Su Su want to be checked?"

He took out a notebook specifically for writing his growth diary from the space button, but saw the young man shook his head and said, "Take a picture of it with the communicator and send it to me. I need to supervise the other cubs as well."

Su Ci felt that a growth diary would only be meaningful if it was written by the child himself.

A Yan couldn't help but tilt his head, "But they can't read, right?"

The little white deer is better, but the other cubs... have a very low literacy rate.

However, Su Ci nodded and said, "That's perfect. It's time for them to learn to read."

In order for them to develop better in the future, they must keep up with the academic subjects, and Su Ci has now found a very good teacher for them.

So, at two o'clock in the afternoon, when the cubs finished their lunch break and Little Lihua finally finished her copying punishment, she and her brother left the room and went to the green space to play. Then they heard the keeper's next plan for them.

"From now on, you will need to set aside more than an hour every day for text learning, with a 20-minute break in between."

When Xiao Lihua heard about learning characters, her face suddenly turned green after she had been copying characters for a whole day and night.

"Do I...must learn it?" She pursed her lips, and two tears formed in her round eyes, making her look so pitiful.

However, Su Ci was not soft-hearted.

"Yes, except for Ayan who has already mastered all the characters, each of you must learn."

His eyes swept over each of the cubs. Although they looked calm and gentle, the cubs who were swept by his eyes couldn't help but feel their scalps tighten. Even the red flame tiger cub squatting beside him couldn't help but stand up its tail and its fur stood up.

only……

There was some doubt in the little tiger's eyes, so did he want to learn it too?

Among all the cubs present, the happiest one was the little deer Jiao. When the whole audience was silent, he was the only one who raised his hand enthusiastically.

After Su Ci nodded, he asked, "Su Su, do you want to teach us how to write? Or Brother A Yan?"

The little boy's eyes were bright and full of desire for knowledge.

However, Su Ci shook his head, "Neither, A Yan also has homework to do."

As for himself, he had even less time, and of course, most importantly, he didn't have the patience.

Su Ci called out, "Xiao Zhi."

The light screen of the base's intelligent computer appeared in front of the children.

And Su Ci continued: "Next, Xiaozhi will become your writing teacher and provide you with one-on-one teaching."

The communicator has a privacy mode that can block conversations so that others cannot hear what you are communicating with the person you are talking to. Naturally, this technology is not a problem for the base's intelligent computer.

In this way, even if all the cubs take classes together and receive different courses, they will not interfere with each other.

As for letting the children go back to their respective rooms to study... Su Ci had actually thought about it, but being in a closed environment is not actually conducive to their emotional stability.

Learning is not a happy thing for most cubs. If there are external interference sources that cause their emotions to fluctuate, it is easy for something to go wrong.

But it’s different outdoors, especially around green spaces.

First of all, green plants can soothe emotions, and coupled with the spiritual energy released by the small spiritual buds, they can keep their minds clear and be more able to learn.

and……

Su Ci looked at the star chain fruit vines that had undergone the technique of resurrection. They were the fastest growing of all plants, and their vines had almost covered most of the rope net.

Judging from the fluctuations emanating from them, it's likely that the nursery will soon have a few more spiritual plants...

The amount of fertilizer needed will increase exponentially by then, but the roots of the Star Chain Fruit themselves have the characteristic of accumulating nutrients. In addition, since Cen Liang is willing to provide fertilizer, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Thinking of this, Su Ci retracted his gaze and looked at the cubs in front of him.

He continued, "In addition to learning characters, you must complete a diary every day before going to bed to record your daily growth."

Hearing this, even Xiaolu Jiao's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Diary? What's that?

Little Langze couldn't help but raise his hand. After getting Su Ci's consent, he asked, "How should I write this diary?"

"Write down what you did that day and what you learned. You can ask Xiaozhi for the specific instructions," Su Ci said. "Xiaozhi will collect your diaries and give them to me for review."

When the little wolf cub who was thinking of slacking off heard that Susu was going to check, his heart skipped a beat, and the other cubs looked at each other in confusion.

At this time, Rong Heng also raised his hand like Xiaolu Jiao and the others. Seeing Su Ci nod, he asked, "But we don't know many words now. What should we do?"

Su Ci still said the same thing, "Ask Xiaozhi."

Base Intelligent Computer: "..."

Although one core can respond to multiple people at the same time, which is a basic function of the intelligent computer, so far no one has really thought of using the base intelligent computer in teaching in the nursery.

As you can imagine, there are no preschool-related tutorials in the core of Base 24, so it can only be urgently downloaded from the star network and barely tried to run it.

What's even more outrageous is that Su Ci also requires it to provide one-on-one tutoring and teach students according to their aptitude. Seven cubs require seven different teaching models, and different teaching plans are formulated according to the cubs' different personalities, intelligence levels and learning progress.

Although the base's intelligent computer has no body, it also feels that its head is very big.

But what could it do? Su Ci had the highest authority in the base, and the intelligent computer had no choice but to obey his orders.

So while Su Ci was talking to the cubs, the base's intelligent computer was still mobilizing all its idle computing power to calculate and perfect the seven different teaching plans, and the intelligent core was becoming extremely hot.

Fortunately, except for No. 1, the daily data of all the cubs in the nursery are recorded. In order to facilitate the research institute to retrieve them at any time and to assist the breeders in their daily rearing work, these data have also undergone simple processing and analysis.

So in the end, the base's intelligent computer still made seven preliminary plans before Su Ci announced the start of the first class.

As for cub number nine who is still on the way... let's wait until she arrives.

Before the class started, 4586 had thoughtfully placed tables and chairs for the cubs in the open space next to them, and even the little red flame tiger got a table.

However, Ran Lie stared at the table in front of him, with obvious confusion and hesitation in his tiger eyes. Now that he has turned into a tiger, is it really necessary to give him a table and let him learn to write with others?

"Okay, just focus on the class."

After Su Ci finished speaking, he really handed the class over to the intelligent brain and became a hands-off boss comfortably.

Ran Lie looked at the breeder's back as he left, and could only take a deep breath, then silently recite the Buddhist mantra in his heart. It must be said that this mantra was still very useful. After reciting only half of it, his turbulent thoughts calmed down.

"Little Lielie, please open your eyes."

Hearing this sudden sound, Ran Lie's defense was broken in a second, and his tiger eyes suddenly widened.

Lielie is fine, but what the hell is a kid?!

He opened his mouth to question, then remembered that he could only meow. Looking at the other cubs present, he finally shut his mouth in frustration.

Facing Ran Lie, the base's intelligent computer simulated the lively and cute voice of 4586 who loves to act cute.

"Very good, little Lielie, please focus your eyes on the light screen. Let's begin the first period of today's class," the voice said. "The first period will last for 40 minutes, and then there will be a 10-minute break."

Ran Lie had a gloomy face, but when he really raised his eyes and glanced at the light curtain, he froze and became focused.

Because what was displayed on the screen was the mantra of the Heart Sutra that Su Ci had written for him before—

This is naturally a handwritten font, and the light curtain is copying and breaking down the first word, enlarging it to the center, while the rest of the formula is shrinking to the upper right corner.

"We can see that this is a very classic ancient Chinese character..."

Next, the intelligent computer began to explain to Ran Lie the pronunciation of this word, how to write it, and most importantly - its meaning and derived meanings.

Then there is the universal language that this word corresponds to, and how to read and write it.

Just this first word extended to countless kinds of knowledge, and combined with pictures, texts and videos, it immediately made Ran Lie, who had not seen much of the world, read it with great interest.

This class is no longer just a literacy class, but a window for him to better understand the outside world. In the end, when he is able to remember the word, what he gains will be far more than just the word.

Even the little tiger was eager and focused, not to mention the others.

The teaching plan prepared by the base's intelligent computer for the little lion Rong Heng was similar to Ran Lie's. Just using the articles on the mental formulas as an introductory course in literacy would be enough for them to study for a long time.

Little Lihua likes flowers and painting, so she will be guided by flowers and famous paintings. Little Lujiao does not need to be mobilized at all, as long as she follows the basic learning courses of interstellar cubs and starts from the shallower to the deeper.

As for the little wolf cub, it is even simpler. Just put a picture of food on the light screen, and he will stare at the light screen for a long time without moving his eyes. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to remind him to wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth from time to time.

Little monkey number six is ​​still in a coma due to soul repair, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. The only one who is more troublesome is the cub number three, Xiao Zhengxing.

According to the data recorded by the base's intelligent computer, he rarely showed interest in other matters except holding a metal ball every day.

What's more, he can't see, so is there really any point in teaching him to read?

Because Su Ci repeatedly imposed a heavy workload on the intelligent brain, which had gradually learned to think proactively, couldn't help but raise such questions.

But such doubts did not prevent it from completing the task assigned to it by Su Ci conscientiously.

A light screen also appeared in front of Xiao Zhengxing. The base's intelligent computer prepared a lot of knowledge about machinery for him and then played it for him.

At first, although little Zhengxing was sitting on a chair with the other cubs, he kept his head down and played with his metal ball in his hand.

But slowly, the movements of his hands gradually stopped and his head slowly raised up.

His eyes were dazed and unfocused, but his expression was focused.

Just when the base's intelligent computer felt a rare sense of excitement and was ready to make further efforts, the child raised a hand and pressed on the light screen.

Such a familiar scene caused the intelligent core of the intelligent brain to overheat.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhengxing is not a pervert.

He simply absorbed all the courses prepared for him by the base's intelligent computer in an instant - of course, it was just absorption. Whether he could actually turn it into his own thing would take more time.

After doing this, the child's condition became obviously depressed.

His mental strength was too much to absorb so much information in such a short time.

Unlike a certain pervert who directly took over the entire base's intelligent computer and obtained the highest authority, forcing the intelligent computer to obey his orders and take on more and more work that was not within its job scope.

However, such similar abilities still aroused the vigilance of the base's intelligent computer, and it secretly marked the small star as a key observation target.

Although Xiao Zhengxing had used similar abilities on the machinery in the nursery before—for example, on the night the monsters invaded the nursery, he briefly gained the right to enter and exit the room freely.

However, it is different after all. After all, at that time, the base's intelligent computer did not need to exercise "subjective initiative", right?

After Xiao Zhengxing became depressed, the base's intelligent computer switched the lecture sound to light music that could help soothe the mood.

Anyway, the child's progress has far surpassed that of others, so he doesn't need to study anymore.

In the green space, plants are growing diligently. They keep climbing onto rope nets and metal frames, sparkling in the afternoon sun.

Next to the green space, the cubs are also studying hard, absorbing the knowledge they are interested in and also absorbing the nutrients they need for growth.

This scene was full of vigor and vitality, a scene that had never appeared in the nursery before.

So much so that Luo Shengfei was stunned when he saw this scene - he came to deliver the renovated 4583, and also to ask Su Ci about the greenhouse.

Because Cen Liang from the cultivation garden seemed to really be planning to dismantle the greenhouse and send it to Su Ci!

He originally proposed this idea as a joke, but it is indeed feasible because the materials used in the greenhouse are all disassembled and self-repairable, and can be reassembled after being disassembled.

After confirming again and again that Cen Liang was serious, and because the surveillance cameras had inexplicably all worked, he had nothing to do, so he came to see how big a greenhouse the nursery needed.

Of course the most important point is - see why Peizhiyuan is willing to follow Su Ci's nonsense!

Looking at all this, what was there for Luo Shengfei to not understand? He looked at the well-behaved cubs, then at the lush green plants that were clearly in good condition, his eyes filled with wonder.

"Keeper Su, you really are..."

Looking at the young man sitting lazily next to him, eating sausage while basking in the sun, Luo Shengfei really didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at this moment.

He looked at the green plants, and a thousand words came together into one sentence: "When the fruits are ripe, can I have a few for you? qaq"

Su Ci then looked up at him and said, "The principle of equivalent exchange."

Okay.

Luo Shengfei was not disappointed either, especially when Su Ci said that the quality of these fruits should be S+, his eyes became hot when he looked at those star chain fruits.

He felt that Su Ci was not a person who would talk big, and fruits of this quality were considered luxury goods even in the market outside of Prison Star.

Being able to eat it on Prison Star is like pie falling from the sky.

"Wait!" Luo Shengfei suddenly looked at Su Ci, "The Star Chain Fruits that the cultivation garden gave out earlier, weren't they grown by you?"

"no."

Su Ci shook his head, but it did have something to do with him.

Luo Shengfei breathed a sigh of relief, then started to work, asking Su Ci about the specific size of the greenhouse he needed.

When Luo Shengfei heard that Su Ci was going to reclaim all the land around the nursery building for planting and that the entire vertical space was also going to be utilized, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"You're playing too big!"

However, looking at the green plants in the field, Luo Shengfei didn't know how Su Ci did it, but he still gave him a thumbs up.

"You're better than the people in the cultivation garden. Go as far as you can. I'll accompany you!"

Luo Shengfei was very loyal. After understanding Su Ci's request, he began to draw a design and finally decided to adopt the form of wrapping the entire nursery building -

It is equivalent to making a cover that covers the entire nursery, leaving only the passage.

"The greenhouse material has good light transmittance, so there's no need to worry about affecting the indoor lighting," Luo Shengfei said. "It's just... it's much more fragile than metal walls, so it might not withstand any damage."

If a monster invades, I'm afraid it will be shattered in one go.

"Don't worry about that." Su Ci said.

Seeing Su Ci's calm expression, Luo Shengfei scratched his head and said, "Well, this plan will probably require materials for three or four greenhouses. It depends on whether the cultivation garden agrees."

He sat down next to Su Ci, looking at the cubs who were studying hard not far away, his face still a bit dazed.

He's been here for so long, and these pups have been sitting in their seats and studying hard. They're incredibly well-behaved...

"The kids are getting better and better..." Luo Shengfei couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart, "If only you had come here a few years earlier."

If it were a few years earlier, Prison Star would not be as dangerous as it is now. If the children's condition improved and their performance was good, and if the situation on Prison Star changed, they would have a chance of being sent away.

"The current Prison Star is not a place for humans to stay..."

Su Ci said nothing, neither agreeing nor denying what he said. He just looked up at the nursery building and said, "When you are free, come and open a window in the cubs' room."

"Open the window? You have to apply for approval."

"Um."

So Luo Shengfei didn't stay long. After sitting for a while, he received a new maintenance task and had to leave reluctantly.

Before leaving, he reminded Su Ci: "Remember, when the fruits are ripe, leave a few for me!"

After he left, Su Ci continued to sit in the chair and take a light nap with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, the cubs had finished their lessons and were racking their brains to write their growth diaries.

Su Ci stretched, called A Yan, and left the nursery to go to the administrative office.

"Susu, what are we going to do?" A Yan asked.

"Get new cubs."

Logistics Building, Spaceship 245H.

"We're here, let's get off together." Shi Yjiang unbuckled his seat belt and looked at the little girl in the passenger seat.

The little girl was about six or seven years old. She was wearing a pink dress, her short light white hair was combed neatly, and her two long ears of the same color hung neatly behind her head.

It's hard to imagine how such a soft and lovely girl could be sent to the brooding center on Prison Star...

After hearing Shi Yjiang's words, she came back to her senses from her daze, hurriedly stood up, got out of the passenger seat, and was about to follow Shi Yjiang out of the cab.

“Chirp!”

At this moment, a rapid bird call was heard.

The little girl then remembered something and turned around, only to see the little fat bird standing on the passenger seat, which looked like a decoration, jumping twice, then flapping its wings and flying towards her.

The little girl stretched out her hand, and the chubby little bird landed accurately on the palm of her hand, rubbing her wrist affectionately with its tiny beak.

As if it had noticed the gaze from Shi Yjiang next to it, the little fat boy tilted his head towards him and acted cute in an innocent way.
