Chapter 63 Heading to Planting College
The next day, after breakfast, Jun Yiluo took Kolanti to the Planting Academy to check the reasons why the plants stopped growing and suddenly withered.

However, when they arrived at the gate of the Plantation College, they were stopped.

The guard said seriously, "Sorry, the Planting Academy is not convenient for visits at the moment."

"We are not here to visit. We are here to check why the plants stopped growing and suddenly withered. This is of great importance. Please inform us." Colanti said politely.

The guard was unmoved and shook his head, "No, we have orders from above that no one is allowed to enter."

"How dare Your Highness the Princess stop me?"

The guard was horrified. He didn't even notice that Jun Yiluo's hat covered most of his face and quickly saluted.

"Greetings, Your Highness! Please calm down, I am only following your orders."

Jun Yiluo said coldly: "Whose orders are you following? Even this princess cannot enter?"

The guard said with some fear: "It is an order from the dean of the college. It says that there are special circumstances recently and no one is allowed to enter."

"Oh? This princess is about to go in."

The guard looked embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, I dare not stop you, but it is my duty. Please don't embarrass me, Your Highness."

The academy passing by not far away saw the situation here, looked at each other, and walked over.

A young man wearing gray-green casual clothes with a leaf pattern on his chest representing a senior planter stepped forward. He had a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows and said in a rough voice:

"Your Highness, we respect you because of your noble status. But this planting area is our most important location. Every plant here is the result of our careful cultivation. We cannot allow people who don't know how to plant to enter. If something goes wrong, we cannot afford such a risk!"

"If Your Highness really wants to see it, I can take you to the office to watch the surveillance."

A thin-faced man next to him also quickly agreed, "Yes, Princess, this place is dirty and messy, you should go somewhere else to play!"

Jun Yiluo's eyes became sharper, something really happened.

She took out the pass from the space and waved it in front of several people, "I am here to check on you at the order of His Majesty. Are you sure you still want to stop us?"

The young man in gray-green casual clothes and the thin-faced man turned pale instantly after seeing the pass.

The arrogance on the young man's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by fear and uneasiness. He lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Princess, please forgive us. We didn't know that you were here on His Majesty's orders. We are sorry for the offense. Please punish us."

The thin-faced man also hurriedly said, "Princess, please calm down. We are also doing our duty. Ignorance is not a crime."

Jun Yiluo put away the pass, his eyes were indifferent, but his voice was full of majesty that could not be questioned: "Now, can this princess go in?"

The young man and the man quickly stepped aside to make way, saying in unison: "Your Highness, please come in."

Seeing that they couldn't stop Jun Yiluo, the young man in gray-green casual clothes and the thin-faced man had no choice but to send someone to quickly invite the dean.

They followed Jun Yiluo and Kolanti carefully.

They also heard the news that Jun Yiluo was going to reopen the Planting College, but they didn't care much about it.

In their opinion, even someone as experienced as the dean was helpless in the face of the current predicament, so how could a pampered princess understand planting?

They just thought it was the princess's momentary willfulness, and secretly thought that when the dean came, the princess would definitely give up. Jun Yiluo naturally noticed the suspicious eyes of the people behind her, but she ignored them.

When you enter the Plantation College, what comes into view is a slightly dilapidated scene.

The nursery, which was once full of life, now has many plants with drooping leaves, looking lifeless.

Jun Yiluo looked at the slightly dilapidated scene in front of her, and her heart sank. She frowned slightly, and her eyes slowly swept over the lifeless plants with drooping leaves.

Kolanti, who was standing by, also had a serious expression on his face and said worriedly, "Your Highness, this situation is worse than we thought."

Jun Yiluo was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Let's go and have a look at other places."

After a period of planting practice, coupled with the planting manual given to him by Jun Yiluo, Kolanti has now accumulated a lot of experience in planting. His experience and ideas are even better than those of this group of students.

Jun Yiluo nodded slightly and said, "Kelundi, let's start with the soil." Kelundi replied, "Okay."

The two squatted down and carefully checked the condition of the soil. After a while, Kolanti found that some of the soil showed signs of compaction.

He poked the soil with his finger and said, "Your Highness, this soil may look fluffy, but it is actually very hardened underneath. It will definitely affect the respiration and water absorption of the plant roots."

Jun Yiluo raised his eyebrows. Kolanti had indeed grown a lot. He frowned again in an instant and thought about countermeasures.

When the students around heard what Kolanti said, they couldn't help but show doubtful looks.

One of the students muttered, "He's an outsider, how much can he understand? He might just be talking nonsense."

Another student echoed, “That’s right, we’ve been learning about planting here for so long, and we haven’t discovered such a big problem with the soil.”

When Jun Yiluo heard their discussion, his eyes became stern. He glanced at the students and said coldly, "Kolanti's judgment will not be wrong."

The students were frightened by Jun Yiluo's eyes and lowered their heads, not daring to speak anymore.

Then they checked the leaves and branches of the plant. Colanty turned over a leaf and exclaimed, "Your Highness, look, there are signs of disease and insect pests here."

Jun Yiluo took a closer look and indeed found some tiny spots and traces of insect bites on the leaves.

Her frown deepened.

The land in the interstellar beast world is barren and it is difficult to grow anything. These are all carefully cultivated in greenhouses. Due to the lack of planting technology, there is nothing else to do except watering the plants, irrigating with nutrient solution and adjusting the temperature in the greenhouse.

Except for the surface of the soil which looks normal, the bottom is actually caked with dirt, and the roots of plants cannot extend and grow.

Nowadays, they don’t even dare to use pesticides when there are pests, and can only pull them out manually.

At this moment, the students looked at each other with surprise and shame on their faces. They didn't expect that this person could actually find out the problem.

However, the pests that appeared were dealt with by them in time.

She stood up, looked around at the students, and said slowly:
"It is not enough to just water, irrigate with nutrient solution and adjust the temperature in the greenhouse. The soil is lumpy at the bottom and the roots of the plants cannot extend, which is a serious problem. Moreover, in the face of pests and diseases, manual removal alone is not a long-term solution."

The students all lowered their heads, looking ashamed. One of them mustered up the courage to say:
"Your Highness, we are aware of these problems, but we really don't have a better solution. The resources given to us by the empire are limited, and we dare not try new methods easily, fearing that these precious plants will suffer greater losses."
