Chapter 146 Cold Cliff Star

However, before the new semester begins, Tang Jia still has two important tasks:

Points competition and field practice activities.

There is no choice in the points competition next semester, it will be a direct round of red and blue competition.

As the only freshman team from the Alliance's First Military Academy to advance to the second round, the eight-member Art Department team received only one mission:

Stay at the base camp and protect the hostages.

What else can the eight-member art department group do?

Of course, all actions must be carried out according to instructions, and you can enjoy the joy of earning points by lying down!

By the way, observe and learn the various operations of the senior brothers and sisters.

However, no matter how you look at it, it seems ordinary.

No motivation to learn!

However, the school leaders and instructors breathed a sigh of relief.

As for field practice activities?

Of course, attend on time!

This time, the school leaders finally gave up on Jupiter, and the eight-member team from the Art Department consciously embarked on the journey to Cold Cliff Star.

However, the moment everyone saw Dong Shannai on the starship, the eight members of the Art Department could no longer laugh, and all their eyes were cast on Tang Jia.

Tang Jia, who had expected this, said nothing. He just smiled at Dong Shannai and nodded.

This is quite different from Tang Jia's previous performance.

The eight members of the art department were surprised for a moment, but when Dongshan Nai saw this expression, it was interpreted as... a sure victory!

Dong Shannai didn't understand where Tang Jia's confidence came from, but she understood Tang Jia's caution.

While silently modifying her plan, she secretly prayed that Dong Shanling, whom she had placed on the main planet, would not cause any trouble.

Tang Jia was surprised when he saw Dong Shannai's evasive look.

Is this, her west wind overwhelms the east?

Or is it that Dongshan Nai is feeling guilty and is going to do something weird again?

Tang Jia looked around, but unfortunately, Albert Benton did not come this time.

Fortunately, the team was still led by Bai Lingfeng and Vice President and Director of the Mecha Department Teng Yufei.

It is said that every failure is a learning experience.

Bai Lingfeng suffered such a great loss on Hanya Star last time. Now that he is revisiting the old place, Bai Lingfeng should be cautious!

She placed a total of 700 bottles of "repellent potions" specially made and named by Professor Sun Wei in the storage space.

As long as Bai Lingfeng is more vigilant and contacts her in time, it should be in time!

Tang Jia landed on Hanya Star with a nervous mood.

As soon as I stepped onto the suspended ladder, a gust of humid air hit me.

This planet is clearly much more grounded and colder than giant Jupiter.

Even though Cold Cliff Star is currently in the short summer on this planet, one can still see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the evergreen coniferous forests, and the "elves" dancing in the forest.

The vibrant scene made Tang Jialao feel very happy.

Shu Yufan stared at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed softly.

"Who could have imagined that there would be a trap hidden in such a beautiful scenery?"

Hidden trap?

Tang Jia turned his head to look at Shu Yufan and raised his eyebrows.

"Explain?"

"Forest Swamp, have you heard of it?

It is a type of forest vegetation dominated by trees or shrubs that forms in habitats with excessively moist soil, waterlogging, or a shallow water layer and peat.

Dang Hong pursed his lips and reminded, "So, if you can't use mechas, everyone must be careful with their steps!"

Tang Jia nodded, looking as if he had learned something.

Shu Yufan was satisfied, nodded, and continued: "The summers on Hanya Star are short and humid. The trees are mostly coniferous, which is relatively monotonous. The ground is covered with thick mosses and lichens, and shrubs and herbs are scarce.

Because the living conditions of animals here are not as good as those in other forest zones, the animal species are relatively simple.”

Yu Zirui exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean there's nothing to eat?"

Tang Jia pursed his lips and said, "Just because the types are simple doesn't mean they don't exist.

I've checked and found that the conifer seed production hasn't decreased this year, and there haven't been large-scale animal migrations or deaths, so there's still enough pine nuts and meat to eat."

Well, it's a bit laborious and wastes your teeth!

After all, the big ones can't be dealt with, so we can only deal with the small ones...

Shu Yufan seemed to have thought of something and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

“There are also effortless ones!”

Everyone looked at him.

This guy then said quietly, "Eat bugs? They're high-quality protein!"

The next second, Bing Lulu and Hai Rouer's "Iron Fist of Justice" immediately kissed Shu Yufan's head.

However, what Shu Yufan said was not wrong.

The humus layer that develops on the ground beneath coniferous forests contains soil animals such as mites, springtails, nematodes, and a large number of insect larvae.

If you are brave enough, eating insects is absolutely effortless.

However, judging from the current situation, no one is very happy about it.

So, we all have to put in the necessary effort.

After a group of people murmured for a long time, Principal Teng Yufei finally stood up and announced the rules of this field practice activity.

Each group is given a map with five must-go points marked on it. They start from the Hanya Star Base with the map, check in at the five must-go points, and then return to the Hanya Star Base to earn points.

Although the five check-in points are fixed, the route you take is dynamic.

Add to that the eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, and how to get extra points... every step is something the commanders have to consider.

So, after getting the map, no one rushed to leave, but looked at it carefully.

With the lesson learned from last time, Shu Yufan's preparations were obviously more comprehensive, and he soon planned three routes for everyone to choose from.

The eight members of the Art Department all agreed that it would be more reasonable to start from the west line where the mountains are high and the slopes are steep, tackle the tough problems first, and then return from the east.

There is only one problem:

Food supplies!

Everyone looked at Tang Jia, who smiled bitterly and said, "A good cook cannot cook without rice!"

Yu Zirui curled his lips and said, "At most, it's just eating insects. What's there to be afraid of?"

Bing Lulu and Hai Rouer raised their fists at the same time, and Yu Zirui quickly shut up.

Tang Jia looked to the west and said in a deep voice, "Moss is inedible, but lichen is still okay."

Lichen?

What is that?

However, since Tang Jia said it was edible, she must have a point.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, the eight-member group from the Art Department resolutely walked towards the westernmost check-in point.

Dongshan Nai watched silently, moved her fingers, but finally endured it.

As usual, Mei Lixin and Yan Siyuan led the way, while Tang Jia, Bing Lulu and Hai Rouer brought up the rear.

It’s just that this time there’s one more check-in point to consider.

Although he had prepared for the worst, Tang Jia couldn't help but exclaim in excitement when he saw the rows of straight and tall birch trees in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Stop for a moment!"

Yan Siyuan and Mei Lixin didn't understand, but they still stopped in cooperation.

Tang Jia ran quickly towards the grayish-white birch trees, found a suitable location, punched a hole in them, and inserted a thin tube.

After a while, light yellow juice flowed out.

Hai Rouer quickly handed over the testing instrument in her hand. Although Tang Jia didn't think it was necessary, he still did the test honestly.
