Chapter 235 [Empire] Interstellar Planting Class

Time passed by little by little. I went to Wen Ya's house twice, but I didn't see her. She didn't even reply to my messages on my computer.

It's like the clouds on the horizon. Occasionally, the air is clear, and you feel like you're close, but even if you stretch your arms and jump with all your might, you can't reach them. That feeling is kind of terrible.

I was worried about him, but there was nothing I could do. I even looked for him in the cafe where he worked. But he wasn't there either. My heart grew heavier, wondering where he had gone.

The school's curriculum still primarily focused on interstellar history, with occasional explanations of firearms and interstellar farming sprinkled in. This school seemed completely devoid of any interest in training military personnel, perhaps due to their self-awareness. Even military training became a formality, minimizing it to save money wherever possible.

This class is about interstellar planting. In interstellar space, planting plants is both difficult and dangerous.

First, planting, germination, and survival are extremely difficult. The interstellar environment differs significantly from that of ancient Earth, presenting a variety of extreme conditions: intense radiation, daily fluctuations in air pressure, mutated soil, and varying water composition. These conditions pose enormous challenges to plant germination and growth. Even with advanced planting techniques and equipment, there's no guarantee that every seed will germinate and grow successfully. Even the intelligent, supernatural veterans at the research institute have become largely bald due to this.

Secondly, species mutate at a high rate, so planting the right seeds doesn't necessarily guarantee the right crops. Mutations in interstellar space are as common and frequent as drinking water and eating food. These mutations can be beneficial or harmful. Planting a common crop seed could easily yield a completely unfamiliar plant, perhaps even a dangerous combat plant. If you're lucky enough to have a plant sprout, observe carefully and record it carefully. Be careful with your head...

Most importantly, this world is full of combat plants. Planting one can literally wipe out your entire family. Combat plants often possess powerful offensive and defensive abilities. They may actively attack nearby creatures, release toxic substances when threatened, or even actively hunt. These combat plants may possess sharp thorns, poisonous sap, or possess immense power, making them difficult to defend against. The consequences of accidentally planting a combat plant are disastrous. Not only will the planter's life be in danger, but those around them could also be affected. As the saying goes, once a plant blooms, the entire village is destroyed.

I am currently in class, staring at a seed in front of me.

My mind wandered between possibilities.

I stared at the seed, trying to discern some clues from its appearance. However, it just lay there quietly, not giving me any answers.

The teacher said it was wheat, and it looked like wheat. But I had a deep doubt. Wheat is a common crop on Earth, but can it really maintain its original properties in an interstellar environment? In other words, is wheat really still wheat?

I looked at the seed carefully, trying to find something unusual. Its shape and color were indeed similar to wheat seeds I had seen at the market.

I looked at the technological nutrient soil that looked like a non-Newtonian fluid and thought to myself, how can flowers grown with this stuff not mutate?

This nutrient soil looked so strange and so different from traditional soil that I had serious doubts about its ability to support normal plant growth due to its peculiar properties.
