Chapter 170 Leaving the Mothership for the First Time On the day of the stood in the crowd yawning. The first-year high school students are now lining up by class to board the transport ship. Most of them, like Kagawa, look as sleepy as ever. Because it's only six in the morning. In order to ensure that the three-day visit would allow the students enough time to study, the head teachers of the two grades of the Agricultural University Affiliated High School simply waved their hands and arranged the gathering time at six in the morning, so that they could arrive at the production escort ship around seven o'clock. This allows teaching activities to begin on time before the first class in the morning. When Kagawa saw this schedule, he couldn't help but sigh: It is worthy of being a school directly affiliated with the Agricultural University. The gap between the emphasis on agricultural practical teaching and the usual basic education is probably as big as the gap between compulsory courses and elective courses in universities in the 21st century, right? I have never seen the grade director be so enthusiastic during basic courses! However, since everyone got up early, most students' families were not yet at breakfast time, but the boarding students were better off. The principal specially arranged for the logistics department to ask the canteen to prepare some steamed buns for the students. When the day students learned of this, they immediately contacted the boarding students in the same class to help pack two or three steamed buns. So now the entire school front entrance and the back entrance where the high school students gather are filled with the aroma of steamed buns. Xiangchuan has never seen a scene where everyone has a steamed bun, because the takeaway breakfast of students in the 21st century is much richer than this, with pancakes, glutinous rice, hot dry noodles... Kagawa silently looked at the roast beef bun in her hand and wiped away the bitter tears in her heart: the office workers and students who are early risers still have a hard time eating, and she still has a long way to go in her journey of discovering gourmet food. After a while, Class 8 of Grade 1, where Kagawa was, boarded the transport ship.
The air exhaust cycle inside the transport ship is still very powerful. Even if the entire class has a bun in hand, there is no odor in the cabin. After making the scallion pork buns, we won't have to worry about the smell bothering people, Kagawa thought as he leaned back in his chair. This time everyone didn't bring much luggage, and Kagawa's family only prepared her some daily necessities such as change of clothes and toiletries. Firstly, this time they didn't have to deal with an unfamiliar environment, and secondly, the escort ship production side provided food and accommodation, and the principal had already informed the Yuexiang Group in advance and asked Kagawa to open a temporary authorization for the two escort ships, so the canteen there could also use the recipes provided by Kagawa, and there was no need to worry about the students of the Agricultural University Attached High School, whose appetites had been spoiled by the canteen on campus, the Tongue Tip Society restaurant, and the Yuexiang restaurant outside the school, having difficulty swallowing liquid and solid foods. In short, compared with the previous field training, this visit was almost like a funded tour for everyone. Although Kagawa promised to authorize the production of escort ships to have a few more recipes that have never been used in the cafeteria, the class 8 of Grade 1 still felt very sorry that they could not eat at Kagawa's house before leaving. (Kagawa: No, brothers and sisters, are you just staring at my lunch box?) Then, the class monitor Lu Daiqing said something that dispelled their little resentment: "Don't forget, everyone, Kagawa-san can't control himself when faced with fresh ingredients. Maybe he can come up with a new recipe on the spot this time?" Everyone in Class 8 thought about what happened during the field training and silently gave a thumbs up to their squad leader's speech. After all, Kagawa-san has good ingredients, so she really serves them! Kagawa, who was watching the whole process in the group, said: Haha, do you think it’s so easy to find good ingredients? At about 6:15, all the first-year classes boarded the transport ship. The protection area they had been heading to for field training was located in the southern area of the main ship, but this time they were going to the space port used by the fleet to move around. The large port is located in the administrative area on the north side of the main ship, where ten large shuttle ships are docked. They are usually only used when they meet other fleets or encounter small supply space stations left by other fleets on the route. The small shuttle ships in the central port are usually used more often. The third fleet mainly conducts agricultural research, so even residents who live in the main ship often go to the escort ship production site for work. At this time, the residential and commercial areas of the main ship of the Third Fleet were silent, but when the transport ship of Agricultural University High School gradually approached the port, Kagawa looked through the window and found that the number of transport ships or hovercrafts around was gradually increasing. After the transport ship arrived at the docking station for external transportation facilities, the first-year high school students followed the instructions of the grade director and entered the port in an orderly manner one class at a time. Their luggage was packed according to class and handed over to the same short-range shuttle ship for transportation to the second production escort ship. Kagawa looked at this futuristic port with curiosity. The weightless adaptive space, anti-gravity equipment, holographic service guidance... everything before her eyes almost satisfied her generation's imagination of "future" style buildings and was a feast for her eyes. In comparison, the other students around didn't have any special reactions. After all, they all came from the Third Fleet, and most of their families were engaged in agricultural work, or in the food processing industry that needed to deal with agricultural business. In addition, as students of the Agricultural University Affiliated High School, most of them had accompanied their parents to the production of escort ships during the holidays. If this was in a large port in the north, they might be more excited, but a port in the middle... For most people, it is not as rare as the southern region.
There are a total of 350 first-year students in the Agricultural University Affiliated High School. In order not to hinder the normal passage of others, the port authorities specially arranged for the students to take the VIP channel and go directly to the small shuttle arranged in advance by the school. Before, Kagawa was still wondering: Are more than 300 people enough for a small shuttle ship? Now that he has actually seen the shuttle, Kagawa feels that he has still underestimated modern people. It is said to be a small shuttle ship, but its actual size appears to be as big as three cruise ships! If the "small" ship was this big, what would the "large" ship in the northern port look like? Would it be as big as an escort ship? Kagawa felt that the concept of technology in the 21st century limited his imagination. In a state of shock that was difficult to sustain, Kagawa followed the main force and boarded the small shuttle. At 6:45, the shuttle left the port. Kagawa realized only now when he saw the shuttle shooting out from the main ship's port and the scenery outside the window had changed from the dimly lit sky like that on Earth to the boundless universe. This was the first time I left the main ship.
