Chapter 131 Farming? I'm a Professional (Bonus Chapter)
This is a basic tutorial on human mental training, adapted from the mental training method of baby whales.

Mega Whale provided invaluable assistance during the adaptation process.

In gratitude to the giant whale, Lin Xiaohe relinquished the naming rights.

"This is the 'Sugar Bean Handbook,' a book on mental training."

Popping candy + QQ candy + beans, or simply candy beans.

It reflects the deep love that the giant whale has for Fanfan and the others, as well as its strong expectations for Lin Xiaohe.

In the words of the Giant Whale, the "Candy Bean Manual" is a top-tier cultivation technique. Even the secret manuals that the Federation and Empire's high-ranking officials regard as family heirlooms are not qualified to be subordinates in front of it.

Lin Xiaohe believed in the giant whale's loyalty to food, so she decided to let her family members practice the "Sugar Bean Manual" together.

For no other reason than their health.

Mental strength depends on physical constitution, but it can also nourish physical constitution.

Lin Xiaohe hopes that her family members will live to be a hundred years old and stay with her for a long time.

The Lin family watched Xiao He with smiles until a hint of fatigue appeared on her face, at which point her second sister, Lin Jingqiu, pushed her into the room to rest.

After the two sisters left, Grandma Lin stared at the "Candy Bean Manual" on the table, her eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation, and asked, "Son, will this mental strength training method be useful to you?"

Mr. Lin's fingers, which were resting on his knees, twitched slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. He quickly perked up and said, "My mental sea has collapsed, so it's probably useless. Mom and Dad, and Chi Yang, you can practice more."

Looking at the well-behaved Lin Chiyang, Lin's father's eyes were full of tenderness: "He hasn't shown up for a long time since we came here, has he? If you improve your mental strength, maybe you can recover completely."

A conflict flashed in Lin Chiyang's eyes, and she said softly, "But I don't want to be separated from him. He has always protected me and us, and he is also a member of our family."

Lin's father placed his warm, dry hand on his head and smiled, "Okay, we won't separate. But you can both become stronger by training your mental strength. Don't you want to be a good older brother and protect your sisters?"

Lin Chiyang nodded emphatically and said loudly, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely work hard and won't slack off."

Lin Jingqiu, who had just come out of Lin Xiaohe's room, heard her older brother's bold words and gave him a thumbs up.

Looking at his increasingly graceful second daughter, Mr. Lin said in a voice so gentle it could melt your heart, "Jingqiu, once your little sister's farm is on track, we'll take you to get treatment. My daughter is so beautiful, her voice must be lovely too."

Lin Jingqiu gestured to indicate that her illness was not serious and that she should focus on treating her mother and brother first.

“In my heart, each and every one of you is important. I can’t ignore you just because you’re well-behaved and sensible.” Mr. Lin was determined to cure his second daughter’s muteness.

That night, apart from Lin Xiaohe, the Lin family didn't sleep a wink and all obediently practiced the "Sugar Bean Manual".

Even Mr. Lin, who had given up hope, was practicing. After all, it was a gift that Xiao He had specially brought back. If he didn't practice, Xiao He would be disappointed.

As the night passed, the Lin family members yawned and came to the living room.

"Oh? You're all here. Have you been practicing the manual? Is it working well?" Lin Xiaohe changed into long clothes and trousers, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and her hair all tied up neatly.

The Lin family members, who hadn't felt any effect, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, after practicing, we feel refreshed and energetic."

"Thank you so much, Xiaohe, for preparing this wonderful guide for us. What would we do without you?"

After their usual praise, the family took the nutrient solution prepared by Lin Jingqiu to the fields.

Lin Xiaohe had already planned it out.

“Of the school’s 50 mu of land, allocate 10 mu to Xinbao and give them some trouble. Use the other 40 mu for a comparative experiment.”

Fanfan, DouDou, TianTian, ​​and XiaoHong have all reached maturity.

Lin Xiaohe decided to keep a batch of seeds, dividing them into four portions, two portions of each in the school's 50 mu of land and two portions of her own 150 mu of land.

The Ministry of State Security says it wants to cooperate with us, but who knows if they might tamper with the 150 acres of land?
Chu Huaizhi is not a reliable person, and his 50 mu of land is not guaranteed either.

Therefore, Lin Xiaohe will not put all her eggs in one basket; spreading her resources evenly is the optimal solution.

The 50 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares) of school land was designated as Zone 5 by Lin Xiaohe, while the 150 mu (approximately 10 hectares) was designated as Zone 15. The group using Bluestar Huaxia's traditional fertilization method was Group A.

Group B consists of fertilizer solutions customized based on soil composition.

Thus, there are four control groups: A-5, A-15, B-5, and B-15.

The four control groups each occupied 10 acres, and were further subdivided into: pea group, pepper group, tomato group and corn group.

This is the simplest comparative experiment.

"Second sister, I need your help."

Thanks to the technology of the interstellar era, Lin Xiaohe can analyze the composition of a soil sample within 10 minutes by holding a white detector, which is very efficient.

The 50 acres of natural soil provided by the school, although free from stardust pollution, has very low fertility. Without applying base fertilizer, it's unlikely to yield a high yield.

Lin Jingqiu, with a serious expression, squatted down beside her younger sister, her clear eyes intently watching Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe shared the soil analysis report of B-5 with Lin Jingqiu: "Second sister, I need specially customized fertilizer and nutrients."

Farming is not as simple as digging a hole, burying seeds, and watering them.

In China, there are 24 solar terms and various farming tips.

However, the experience of China cannot be completely copied. Lin Xiaohe needs to explore a farming approach suitable for Satellite 3 after referring to the actual situation of Satellite 3.

For example, when planting corn, people in China generally sow spring corn in late April or early May and harvest it in late August.

The underlying logic here is that corn needs a stable temperature above 15℃ to germinate.

In the interstellar era, with temperature regulators, Lin Xiaohe can plant whenever she wants.

In addition, before planting corn, the land must be prepared by deep plowing, breaking up the soil, and removing weeds and stubble.

The natural soil of Satellite 3 is very fine, and the soil's looseness can be adjusted using a gravity regulator.

Lin Xiaohe's mind was racing, combining her previous knowledge and practical experience with interstellar technology.

Lin Xiaohe: "We need to add nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer here."

Lin Jingqiu nodded, keeping her younger sister's request firmly in mind, and indicated that there was no problem.

The Lin family spent an entire day just recording and analyzing the soil and developing a fertilization plan.

Lin Xiaohe stood up, straightened her back, and frowned as she looked at her 150 mu of land.

The soil fertility provided by the Ministry of Security is similar to that of the college, but the soil layer is thinner. If corn is to be planted, chemical control and lodging prevention techniques will be needed to prevent lodging.

Lin Xiaohe described to Lin Jingqiu the effects of the chemical agent she wanted.

Lin Jingqiu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly. Whatever her little sister wanted, she could make it! If she couldn't do it herself, she would go to Master Moli!

Throughout the entire process, Lin's father, Lin's grandmother, and Lin Chiyang remained quiet and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Is farming really that complicated?

Lin Xiaohe had no idea of ​​the awe her family held for her. She looked at the remaining 150 acres of land with her brows furrowed like a lock.

The Chinese people cannot bear to see empty land! Isn't that a waste?

 Good heavens, I almost broke my promise.

  Here's an extra chapter for this week.
