Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 261 - 85: Offering Discounts (Part 3)

If we only look at the Capital area, we can say the loss is severe.

The foreseeable expansion of the Extraordinary Island Plan will have a massive impact on their market.

To stabilize their customers, they can only resort to price cuts, but without solving the technical problems, they can’t compete against the Extraordinary Island Plan.

Recently, more and more people have been in contact with the staff of the Extraordinary Island Plan.

The invitations for Yu Haoming to switch jobs are countless.

Yu Haoming ignores them all.

None of the staff are leaving either.

The people Yu Haoming chooses are all smart and understand why other companies are trying to poach them.

Even if poached, they wouldn’t provide any useful information and would instead find themselves in a bind.

It’s better to work peacefully in this soon-to-soar company.

External companies can’t intervene in the tightly-knit Extraordinary Island for the time being, so they can only wait for the opportunity.

...

A month into the school term, Su Xiaocai packaged Mang Blood’s paper, along with all previous experimental data and a video of killing an Insect Man mutant warrior, and sent it to Professor Li.

"Professor, could you help me see if this paper can be published on the official academic forum?"

Professor Li almost had a headache.

When the military issued the research project, he wondered if they had been attacked by Insect Men too much and were deliberately issuing the project to make things difficult for them.

Who knew it was prepared for Su Xiaocai, who already had results.

No matter how busy Professor Li was, he had to help his proud student review the paper first.

The more Professor Li read, the more shocked he became; it was a fully mature and profound paper.

The Insect Man is a race in the universe; it’s powerful, unparalleled in combat strength, but not without flaws.

Thus, humans rely on wisdom to temporarily draw even with them.

But that’s not enough; although human technology is progressing, the Insect Man is also continuously evolving.

Su Xiaocai believes that there must be certain flora and fauna in the universe capable of effectively attacking the Insect Man.

She analyzed numerous research subjects before finally selecting Mang Blood.

From plant features, habits, to step-by-step experiments and experiment records.

This experiment actually lasted several years and achieved ideal results.

Genetically speaking, Mang Blood remains Mang Blood, but after generations of optimization, it has become more targeted against the Insect Man.

He needs to see the physical specimen and report it.

Generally, such cultivation patents can be submitted after publishing the paper.

Once published successfully, applying for the patent simultaneously allows for faster approval.

To publish on the official forum, a teacher with professorial qualifications must recommend it.

Professor Li thought for a moment and informed the principal, lest the school leadership be kept in the dark.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaocai received information about Professor Li’s recommendation on the forum.

"When do you plan to graduate? Do you have any plans to pursue further studies? Why not accelerate your course learning and directly apply for an agricultural science graduate program?" This was Professor Li’s original words.

Of course, Su Xiaocai was willing, but she didn’t know if she had the time to complete the graduate program studies.

So she truthfully informed Professor Li of her situation, asking if he would be willing to accept a graduate student who is often absent. If he didn’t mind that, she could indeed do it.

Professor Li was exasperated, thinking she was too spoiled and no longer as adorable as when they first met.

But the message he sent out said, "Alright, prepare to skip a grade. Next year you’ll be in the third year, and I’ll personally guide you."

Su Xiaocai: "That’s probably not possible. I’m really busy this year and still want to follow the normal process." The seniors are so lovely, better let them go first.

Professor Li, rarely a bit angry, wondered what she was so busy with. Graduating earlier would surely make her less busy.

He completely forgot that being a graduate student isn’t easy either.

The paper was reported to the military, and the military quickly responded to Admiral Bai.

Admiral Bai saw Su Xiaocai’s name, nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the seeds to be properly retrieved and sent professors or students to learn it.

The military has plenty of Insect Man corpses here; instead of expending great effort to destroy them, why not use them to grow flowers?

He immediately approved project rewards, which should solely belong to Su Xiaocai.

Cannot let the young student feel disheartened. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

On the other side, the official academic forum received Professor Li’s paper.

Normally, every paper needs to be scheduled, and at least next month it can be posted on the forum.

The review editor saw its value, knowing it will definitely be a big hit and provide people with more directions for thinking about dealing with the Insect Man.

He hurriedly went to find the editor-in-chief, "Editor-in-chief, please have a look at this paper, whether it can be expedited for publication."

The editor-in-chief frowned, mechanically opened his semi-automated hand and waved it, the movement a bit stiff. He’s a scientist who retired from the battlefield, previously responsible for logistics at the Insect Man research lab.

After an Insect Man ate half his hand, he developed a psychological shadow, couldn’t face those things, and therefore retired.

The mechanical part was still not optimally controlled; he squinted and scrutinized the editor in front of him.

The editor felt uneasy under his scrutiny, "Boss, why are you looking at me like that."

"Checking if you’re taking bribes."

"Pah, my integrity is known to the whole office; I’m the most impartial and upright." The editor vigorously defended himself, "I’m a single bachelor, no debts, no family, no indulgences in vices, why would I take money."

"I didn’t say you were taking bribes." The editor-in-chief didn’t like queue jumping; academic folks have a bit of pride.

"Editor-in-chief, just take a look please. I specifically contacted the military; this person’s work has caught the military’s eye. They want it and have contacted the school to request it."

In the past, military private contacts with students resulted in misunderstandings, with students thinking they wanted to seize their work by force. Since then, the military generally contacts through the school for what they want.

Upon hearing it was the military who wanted it, the editor-in-chief took it and looked with some disbelief.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop.

He was captivated as he finished the paper, appreciating the scene of the Red Demoness devouring the Insect Mother variant, brief but filled with unparalleled charm.

"This paper came just in time." The video certainly can’t be leaked, but the paper needs to be published ahead of time.

"Notify the publishing team to prepare a homepage banner next week. Now contact the relevant experts to review this person’s paper."

Publishing an academic paper demands rigor and thorough investigation, a week is very tight.

A paper isn’t reviewed by just one editor, but rotated. Academic forum editors usually have some expertise and can grasp and judge whether data is fabricated just by looking at it.

Of course, determining if there’s fabrication requires consulting professors and verifying with the individual.

...

At this moment, Su Xiaocai, with the help of Wisdom 03, was operating the mechanical arms, focused on assembling parts.

The basic framework of the Mecha was already established, differing from usual Mecha designs, with a more complex structure.

Through special folding technology, all components are freely controllable expandable structures, adaptable to any terrain.

Admiral Bai is a master of tactics and surprises; the more adaptable the Mecha, the richer his tactics become.

Grabbing the erected iron rod to return to the ground, Su Xiaocai stepped back a bit, looked at the rudimentary Mecha with satisfaction at its design, yet was somewhat helpless with her current grasp of technology.

If she had money to build a series of experimental instruments or buy expensive equipment, this Mecha would certainly not stop here.

Next door, another Mecha was being constructed, with slightly slower progress; these were the custom Mechas for Admiral Bai, specifically tailored for Admiral Bai.

Admiral Bai recently plans to have the military’s Maintenance Master come and learn, to avoid being clueless on how to repair if the Mecha body gets damaged.

Su Xiaocai welcomed this but had no time; she was already using twenty-four hours as forty-eight.

Even machines have the concept of metal fatigue.

Let alone her body, she must self-regulate.

Not getting tired does not mean she won’t feel backaches; long periods of concentration on one thing can easily cause muscle soreness.
