"Dear Arrietty, Her Royal Highness Princess Althea, this is the black potato planting area of ​​the ‘Agricultural Area’. All the black potatoes here are grown using advanced hydroponics!"

A young female staff member respectfully introduced.

The area where the mother and daughter are now is a huge cabin with a total area of ​​30,000 square meters.

There are more than 12,000 transparent glass tanks in the cabin, and a lush black potato seedling is fixed in each glass tank, turning this space into a rare green sea in space.

With a movement in the little girl's heart, her small body rose from the ground and floated lightly beside a glass cylinder.

This scene caused a hint of surprise on the female staff's face.

Althea stood in front of the glass jar and looked a little bit of joy inside.

Because the height of the little girl is less than 1.2 meters, compared to the glass cylinder with a diameter of more than 2 meters and a height of 1.6 meters, it is only a small difference.

In addition to the dense roots, there are a large number of black tubers of different sizes in the glass jar, quietly immersed in a colorless solution.

One of the black potatoes happened to be stuck on the edge of the tank wall. Althea stretched her little head over, gestured to the black potatoes, and couldn't help screaming:

"Wow, mom, this black potato is about the same size as my head. It's much bigger than the black potato I used to see at the Agricultural Research Institute!"

She looked up at the potato sprouts again, her big eyes widened:

"Oh my god, the black potato seedling is so high, it is almost close to the ceiling, I guess it is at least 2.5 meters in size, and it is bigger than the potato seedling of the Agricultural Research Institute..."

The cuteness of the little girl's bluffing made Arrietty and the female staff smile.

The female staff member explained in due course:

"His Royal Highness, the reason why the black potato seedlings are higher than their counterparts on the ground is that the gravity of the agricultural area is only 30% of that of the planet's ground, which is a low-gravity environment and plants grow easier."

"In addition, this black potato is a super variety carefully cultivated by the space farm. We expose the potato seeds to the space ray environment, let them mutate, and then screen out the high-yielding varieties."

"After generations of cultivation, the final yield of this black potato reached 160 kg per plant. Calculated by planting 190 plants per mu, the yield per mu exceeds 30 tons, which is the highest record in history!"

Althea couldn't help turning her head to look at the profound void, with a look of surprise again:

"There are rays in space? Can it breed? This is incredible."

"of course!"

The female employee nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness, this unique breeding method is exactly the creation of your father's "Supreme Crown"! Without the guidance of "Supreme Crown", no one would have thought of this."

The little girl suddenly looked proud:

"I knew that my father is the best!"

The female staff continued to introduce:

"In fact, it is precisely because of the high output that the black potatoes grown in this space farm supply the 100,000 residents of Fengchao Space City, and more than 80% of the staple food... In addition, we also use black potatoes as raw materials to make Produce a variety of foods, such as black potato flour, black potato paste and so on."

The words "black potato paste" immediately attracted the little girl's attention.

She raised her head and asked curiously:

"Miss Philomena, what is'black potato paste'?"

The female staff member who had prepared for a long time immediately took out a toothpaste-like cylinder from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.

It is made of transparent soft resin and filled with a red and black paste.

"His Royal Highness, this is the'black potato paste', which is added with edible glue, protein powder, plant fiber, and several spices. It is not only nutritious, but also tastes quite good."

"In the'gravity-free zone' of Space City, this kind of food is very convenient to eat. As long as you unscrew the cap and apply a little force, you can squeeze out the'black potato paste'. Don't worry about it flying everywhere... "

When female staff member Philomena explained, Althea, who was quite experimenting, quickly unscrewed the cap and squeezed a sip of black potato paste into her mouth.

The moment she entered the entrance, her brows frowned slightly, but she still swallowed the food.

Obviously, different people have inconsistent standards for "taste quite good". Althea, who has grown up in good clothes, can hardly accept this kind of sticky and weird food.

The little girl glanced at her mother and quietly handed the black potato paste back to the female staff member.

Unfortunately, her plot did not succeed.

Arrietty stared at her daughter closely, and said with a faint smile:

"Althea Odin, have you forgotten your father's teaching?"

"My father said that Althea shouldn't waste food."

The little girl pouted, took the black potato paste back angrily, and put it into her pocket.

"Well, it's my lunch."

Alietti smiled with satisfaction:

"Then, my dear, remember your promise."

"of course!"

The little girl said loudly:

"My father also said that members of the Odin family will never break their promises, and will do what they have said!"

Philomena watched the interaction between the mother and daughter and couldn't help but interject:

"His Royal Highness Princess will definitely become a great person like the one under the crown!"

Althea's eyebrows crooked with a smile instantly.

At this moment, on the left side of the huge porthole of the planting cabin, a row of small black spots suddenly jumped out. They passed through the void more than ten kilometers away from the space city, and flew to the other side of the planet at a very fast speed.

The little girl immediately caught this scene, pointed to the little black dot and asked:

"Mom, what is this?"

But Allietty just shook her head blankly.

On the contrary, Philomena, who has lived in Space City for a long time, knows more:

"They seem to be the X space fighters of the Dragon Palace Space City. They should be performing missions. Maybe the military has found an enemy in the atmosphere again..."

Among the two space cities built by Hai Chao Ling in space, the larger "Phoenix Nest Space City" is biased towards civilian use, and there are not many soldiers stationed, while the "Dragon Palace" is a standard military facility.

...

Philomena's guess is right, this is indeed a formation of space fighters attacking from the Dragon Palace.

However, what the military found was not the enemy, but the prey.

And it's still a prey at the dominating level.

"Everyone, according to the information provided by the ‘Sky Eye System’, at 32.23 degrees north latitude and 78.45 degrees east longitude, a ‘floating whale’ from another world appeared, with a maximum energy index of 81255 points, and was determined to be a master creature.”

In the cockpit of the front X fighter, the squad commander, Lieutenant Colonel Ignaz, said loudly in the communication channel:

"Our task is to drop the'Space Anchor' and cooperate with the'Orbital Strike Group' to kill this idiot who dared to enter our world... Then the air force in the atmosphere will transport the body of the'floating whale' back from it. Acquire the most important strategic resource-floating magic crystal!"

"understand!"

There are two pairs of wings at the rear of this fighter, arranged symmetrically in an X shape, which is quite similar to the "X-wing fighter" in the movie "Star Wars".

Its official name is "Meteor" type space fighter, but everyone prefers to call it "X fighter".

Relying on the second-generation "Demon Propulsion Engine" with higher propulsion efficiency and smaller size, the meteor fighter can travel freely in space and fly in the atmosphere.

However, because they get rid of the constraints of the planet's gravity and consume too much energy, in most cases, they will not enter the atmosphere.
