Episode 136 Glory and Preferences
Labor is glorious.
In any tribe in the Ant Valley, it is a common rule, whether it is a meat-eating fire ant or a vegetarian leaf-cutting ant. This principle is the cornerstone of the tribe's survival.
Life is endless, labor is endless.
However, ants are also flesh and blood, and like humans, they have their own preferences. And "glory" and "preference" are not the same concept in many cases.
It's as if during the war, it's glorious to join the army, and almost no one wants to fight.
In the leafcutter ant tribe, herding is one of the ants' favorite jobs, and cleaning the cemetery is the most annoying job.
In the bright sun, it is a very happy thing to graze among the green leaves and red flowers, not only to make yourself relaxed and clean, but also to taste the sweet and tempting honeydew. And working in a dark and gloomy cemetery, you will be accompanied only by the oppressive smell and horrific corpses.
Due to the shortage of grazing resources, the grazing class usually only makes the students addicted to it before the end of the semester, and today, the teacher Jianhua announced that the students who are excellent in the competition can enjoy the taste of grazing tomorrow.
After listening to Ant Jasmine's explanation, Yue An thought to themselves, no wonder these new students were so elated. But at this moment, they smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.
In the past, the college arranged internship classes, and they were all composed of 5 people to form an activity group, but today it is very surprising that 8 people are arranged.
Yue An sneered in his heart, there are exactly 8 of them 3 plus 5 of the Jasmine team, it seems that Dean Ba is going to catch them all, okay, I won't let you succeed!
The clay man still has three points of energy, not to mention that he, a mud hero, is unbearable.
……
The first item in the Architectural Practicum is "Soil Cutting": the time limit is 60 minutes, and the weight of the excavated soil in each group is used as a scoring criterion.
The second item is soil transportation: the time limit is also 60 minutes, and the speed and quantity of soil transportation to the designated place are used as the scoring criteria.
The third item is wall building: the time limit is also 60 minutes, and the only criterion is based on the quality and speed of each group of walls.
The maximum score for each item is 100 points, and the final score for each group is the sum of the scores of the three categories.
Just listen to Teacher Jianhua's order:
"The first item of the internship class, the ploughing competition begins!"
More than 1,200 intern groups of 10,000 ants centered on this heart-leaf fragrant tree, laughing and scattering in a swarm, like a group of urchins hunting for treasures.
According to the knowledge in the teacher's theory class, they each searched for and judged the sticky soil, because this is the key to determining the victory or defeat of the final wall-building competition. Non-cohesive soil walls are waste walls that fall down when pushed.
The same is true for the human ant group composed of Yue An and Ant Jasmine, but because Yue An was so amazing in their previous answer about the classification of soil, the Ant Jasmine team listened to Master Yue An's command, hoping to find a more viscous soil than other groups.
But they don't know that although Yue'an is an encyclopedia, it also has a nickname: nerd.
The definition of a nerd is that theory and practice are strictly out of touch, this shortcoming, the more you feel at ease, and the more you know, the more you have always longed for learning outside the classroom and improving your hands-on ability, but he has read far more books than he has walked, and he still has not practiced a lot of knowledge.
Like mud.
Facing the expectant eyes of Ant Jasmine and Peach Blossom, Yue An blushed, her heart beat faster, and her four eyes (including glasses) were almost on the ground.
From time to time, grab a handful of soil, like an old driver, crush it and smell it, look at the color again, and try to combine the 12 soil classifications in memory. Carefully analyze which one it is......
Time passed silently.
The more An'an looks, the more confused he becomes, because many of the soil classifications are just subtle differences, and Yue Antu has the concept of words, and as soon as it is implemented, he knows that it is really dazzling and almost life-threatening.
The weather was hot, but cold sweat was rolling down Yue An's forehead and back, and seeing that other ants had happily begun to dig the soil, their group was still touching the elephant in the blind.
"Ahem, the soil here seems to be different from ours...... Ahem, you'd better look for it. After this sentence, Yue An's face was already red to the root of his ears.
"Why didn't you do it early, others would have done it a long time ago!" Orchid Apple Blossom and Tung Blossom were furious. I thought Yue An was a mud expert, but I found out that he was a mouth expert.
It seems that they are all wrong to bet on the treasure!
In the eyes of the three sisters, the magical aura on Yue An's body disappeared in an instant, and the look in his eyes was "It turns out that you are such potato chips." ”
……
Ant Jasmine and Peach Blossom glanced at each other, and there was no time to sigh and quarrel, and hurriedly looked for suitable soil for themselves.
Unfortunately, they had delayed too much time before, and the soil in the good area nearby was occupied by other ant groups, so they had no choice but to look for it farther away, but this meant that they would spend more time than others in the second soil transportation project.
Finally, under a weed, Ant Jasmine saw a layer of brown soil, and with experience, she knew that this soil was more sticky, lacking coarse sediment particles, and would consume more saliva and urine when building walls.
However, in terms of time, they were no longer allowed to delay, just do it, and I saw that ant Jasmine first drew a circle with a diameter of about 3cm on the ground with her sharp teeth.
Standing in the center of the circle, to the players:
"Starting from the center, everyone uses their teeth to dig into 5 backwards!
"Sister Jasmine, Sister Jasmine, that... What about us?"
Soap pursed her lips, and she held up the wooden shovel that the two big brothers had made for her. At this moment, Yue An and the rice ball were also holding shovels in their hands, waiting for the order of the ant jasmine.
Since Viet An's diorama was punctured.
They have now gone from being protagonists to supporting roles.
Ant Jasmine looked at the strange thing called "shovel" in their hands, and said quickly: "You guys take the soil we dug up and pile it aside with a shovel." ”
"But... Our shovels are not for mounds of soil, but for digging them!" Soap Soap's mouth pouted higher, and he was upset by the wooden shovels that Yue An and the rice balls had painstakingly made.
Ant Jasmine ignored her, she didn't have time to explain.
She saw that Ant Bazhi was not far away, looking at them with a sarcastic sneer, and she already knew that the reason why Ant Bazhi was targeting Yue An and these humans everywhere was actually to slap her in the face.
So she caused them to suffer, and like Yu Qiyun, she was wronged, but she would never let her companions be humiliated and hurt.
Ant Bazhi arranged for Yue'an and them to dig out the dung in the first class, which made her so angry that she couldn't sleep, and secretly decided that she would escort them all the way in their classes in the future.
……
In order to make up for the time wasted, they hummed and gasped, and at a fast speed, they dug up a 5-petal dented mud flower, and the soil around them began to accumulate.
Yue'an rice balls and soap soap spit in the palm of their hands, and immediately took action, using a wooden shovel to concentrate the soil at a distance from the circle to make room for the jasmine team. (To be continued.) )
