78.How to grow bamboo
Su Liu walked around in the bamboo forest, checking everything from soil to water source to climate, trying to find the root cause.
Fortunately, the problem is actually very simple.
"You've overwatered the bamboo," Su Liu said, checking the roots of the bamboo and pointing to the blackened ones. "Look, the roots are rotten."
A planter whispered, "But we're watering according to the instructions in the book."
Su Liu was at a loss for words. "There are hundreds of species of bamboo in the galaxy. Does that mean every species has the same amount of water? Besides, it's been raining every day lately, and even when it's not raining, it's foggy in the mornings. Shouldn't this amount of water be taken into account?"
Several growers know this principle, but they are not sure how much water to apply. They think it will be troublesome if the bamboo withers, so they just water it more.
Unexpectedly, the roots will rot.
Su Liu also discovered that not only was there too much water, but there was also too much light.
The textbook says that 8 hours of sunlight must be guaranteed, but Ying Tianqing and others simply turned on the thermostat and exposed the bamboo to the sun for 8 hours every day.
The temperature of the thermostat is to simulate the sunlight at noon, and the temperature sometimes reaches 38 or 39 degrees Celsius. If this continues for a long time, how can the newly planted bamboo withstand it?
This is not the main reason for the bamboo's barrenness. Su Liu found a lot of scale insects on the bamboo leaves. Ying Tianqing and others didn't know how to deal with them, so they sprayed pesticides.
However, the concentration was not properly adjusted, and when the pesticide was applied, the scale insects did not die completely, but instead eroded the bamboo.
Su Liu pointed out the problems one by one and gave solutions, and the planters nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, Ying Tianqing insisted on treating Su Liu to a meal to thank her for her "guidance".
Su Liu had no choice but to be dragged to the cafeteria by them.
During the meal, several people rushed to ask questions, and Su Liu answered everything he knew to resolve their doubts.
When I came back from the cafeteria, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Passing by the lake, Su Liu heard faint sounds of an argument coming from the nearby woods.
She wasn't someone who had to watch the fun, but one of the voices sounded a little familiar.
Su Liu paused, hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped on the grass and turned around.
On the wooden boardwalk by the lake, Yan Ziyan grabbed Yan Ziai's sleeve.
"That's enough, Zi Ai! You weren't like this before! We sisters finally get to meet each other, can't you just listen to me?"
Yan Ziai sneered and shook off Yan Ziyan's hand.
"You're still blaming me? What qualifications do you have to lecture me? Trash like you should just rot in this crappy school. I'm disgusted by your presence!"
Yan Ziyan's bright face twitched violently. She was hurt and angry, but she endured it and didn't say anything to hurt her sister.
"Well, you're great, you're awesome! You're so wronged to have a useless sister like me!"
Yan Ziai laughed back, "How dare you call yourself my sister? For someone like you, even having the last name Yan is a disgrace to the family!"
The two quarreled so fiercely that they attracted the patrolling combat students.
Before any further conflict could arise, Yan Ziyan gave her sister a push on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead. I won't be back during the winter break, and you and... Mom and Dad won't be bothered by them. Anyway, you two are the happy family of three."
Yan Ziai stammered twice, but ultimately said nothing.
When her own psychic guards arrived, she turned and left.
After the commotion passed, Yan Ziyan gave a wry smile, turned back to the woods and said, "Liuliu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Su Liu was originally hesitant about whether to go up and comfort her, but now he just went over.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Walking to Yan Ziyan's side, Su Liu looked in the direction where the people from Eagle Academy were leaving.
Yan Ziyan said, "Is that what you call eavesdropping? You were almost standing next to us."
She was only three or five meters away, standing behind a tree and listening openly, and kept stretching her neck towards her. Does her roommate even know what "eavesdropping" means?
Su Liu laughed out loud, and then asked, "Why are you guys arguing?"
Yan Ziyan walked towards the dormitory, saying as she walked, "I just want to tell her to be more low-key and not to be so reckless and make enemies everywhere just because she's an S-level purifier."
But before he could even open his mouth, Yan Ziai got furious.
Obviously before...
Yan Ziyan lowered her eyes sadly.
Su Liu followed Yan Ziyan, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She has no close relatives, so she finds this pair of sisters really hard to understand.
Although everyone got along well in the orphanage, they were not related by blood.
And there is always a group coming and a new group being adopted, and they only live together for a few years at most.
What kind of relationship do real brothers and sisters have? Should they play and fight as they please, or should they carefully maintain their family ties? Su Liu has never thought about it, let alone experienced it firsthand.
When they were almost at the dormitory, Yan Ziyan still asked Su Liu not to say anything.
"No one knows we are sisters, and I don't want more people to talk about it. So please keep this a secret for me."
"Of course," Su Liu said, "You really aren't going back home during the winter break?"
Yan Ziyan patted her wallet and said, "I have a dividend from my family. It's not much, but it's enough for me to eat and drink during the winter vacation."
She planned to travel around for a while, then go back to school to help with the crops with Su Liu.
As the students of Eagle Academy left school, the conflict between the two schools was temporarily put on hold, but the feud was completely established.
It is said that this incident dealt a heavy blow to the first-year combat students. Although they did not clash with the Eagle Academy at that time, if a real fight broke out, they would not be enough to wipe the mouths of the S-level psychics.
So the first-year combat department began to train madly. Some of them planned not to go home even during the winter vacation. They first formed a team to hunt in the infected area, and tried their best to improve their strength before the big star show.
The atmosphere is good, but I don’t know how long it can last.
During the day, just as Su Liu prepared the hay, he received a message from Bi Yanmian.
Bi Yanmian: Junior, are you going home for the winter break?
Su Liu didn’t say that he had no home, and replied: I won’t go back. Is there anything wrong, Senior Bi?
Bi Yanmian: Do you want to team up and go hunting? We also need to improve our skills for the Big Star Show next semester.
Su Liu: Who are the “we” referring to?
Bi Yanmian: It's the same people as last time, except for Toyama Sarada. If you join, we won't look for another purifier.
Firstly, purifiers are rare, and secondly, they all miss Su Liu's cooking skills.
The grilled lamb skewers he made made people drool even in their dreams.
Bi Yanmian also said without reservation that he hoped Su Liu could use local materials and get more food.
Su Liu was amused by his straightforwardness and agreed.
Captain Ruden would take care of the procedures for exploring the infected area, and the rest of the people only needed to bring their own equipment.
I heard that the Department of Mechanical Engineering is the first to finish exams and go on vacation, at least a month earlier than other departments.
Su Liu also wanted to ask Fu Yan to adjust the jade fan for her, so she skipped a class to go find him.
As soon as they met, Fu Yanlai asked bluntly, "What level are you?"
