3 hours after wheels-up.
Dozens of double-decker buses are traveling on the highway. The 4/7 Class is the blue one, and there’s a dancing party at the first deck.
“Someone change the goddamn music!”
“Got it!”
The second deck is no slouch either. They just didn’t go as crazy as the first deck.
“The destination is right after we get off the highway,” Lifa said as she pointed at the window.
“Have you been to this place?” Boom asked.
“Yeah, I’ve been here many time when I was a child”
“Oh, Ok. This is our first time here”
The bus is filled with freaking loud music. This makes Boom, who is an introvert, quite uncomfortable, but still tolerable.
On the other side, Chompoo is sleeping comfortably on Tar’s shoulder, not affected in the slightest by the song at all.
“Don’t forget to wake her up”
Boom warned. Tar replied with a simple ‘Yeah’.
Alright, We’ll use this moment to explain which classes were on this field trip.
Due to having a thousand students in the school, causing the field trip to occur on different days to prevent overcrowding.
The classes that got to the field trip first, are the 9th and the 12th grade. Because the O-Net exam is close. So the school let them go on a field trip before the other classes, a week before the academic day.
Followed by the 7th and the 11th grade, 2 days later. And end with the 8th and the 10th grade.
Shortly after, they finally arrive at the destination.
This place is the National Science Museum, located in the metropolitan area. The building looks like 3 4×4 dice stuck together.
After parking the bus, picking up bags and roll-called. The teacher let the students wander the museum as they pleased.
Whether they go in groups, or go with lecturer or professor. It’s up to the students.
As for Boom, He’ll go with his usual group. Plus, Beam and Tid are also joining them.
However, They didn’t just come for fun this time. During the roll-call, The teacher gave them the worksheet similar to those on academic day to collect points for the science subject.
“Where should we go first?” Chompoo asked.
“Let’s go one by one like a dungeon”
Everyone agrees with Boom’s idea.
The first floor is an exhibition about energy and the history of legendary scientists.
“Where’s my boy Bruce Banner and Senku?” Boom asked.
“Bro is really reading too much manga and comics,” Tid responded.
In front of them right now is a pneumatic car. They must pump the air pressure to 20 bars and then press start to make the car run.
“I’Li, wanna try it?”
“Sure, looks fun”
Lifa slowly spun the air pump wheel inside so as not to exceed 20 bars as specified by the sign.
“I’m curious, What if we overdo it?” Beam asked as she took a closer look.
“Uh..The car will explode with force equivalent to the nuclear bomb and destroy half of the province?”
“I should not have ask you, tbh”
Regardless of how lame Boom’s joke is, Lifa is still laughing for him.
When they hit the 20 bar mark, Lifa pressed the start button, and the car accelerated and crashed into the wall that was blocking it.
“...This is fun,” Said Lifa.
Next, they decided to go to the second floor because Boom requested that he wanted to see someone.
“And where exactly is that person?” Tar asked.
Boom pointed at the area where a group of people were standing.
“There, the Lucy statue”
“Oh, You mean Lucy, the grandmother of humanity?”
Lifa had the same reaction as Boom when she saw Lucy’s statue. Aka the grandmother of humanity.
Lucy is the 3.2-million-year-old ape with a height of 100 cm. With only 1/4 of the brains of modern humans. Discovered in 1974 by paleontologist Donald C. Johanson in Hadar, Ethiopia.
“Good girl”
After explaining, Boom give Lifa a head pat as a reward.
“Damn, Bro. You’re good” Tid praised.
“He’s into this type of girl. That’s why he’s really exciting”
Tar joked. Boom then replied with…
“Yeah, I like her because she’s look exactly like your mom, I’Tar”
Got’em.
“Sheeeeeesh!”
“Bro, Are you for real!?”
“I’Boom, you’re at it again”
“Bro ain’t got no chill”
Not just Chompoo and Beam. Even the students passing by cheered for Boom’s counter.
“Fuck you, I’Boom”
“You’re the one who started”
“Calm down, you two”
Lifa saw the situation getting worse. So she rushed in to stop them.
Tbf, Boom and Tar are just joking around. Lifa just overreacted to it.
Next is the music box zone. This time, Tar will be the one to play it first.
“Hey, Can you do the 3 cha rhythm?”
“Got it”
Tar accepted Beam’s request and hit the rhythm.
Next~.
The 4th floor is about science and technology.
“Shit, a talking tree” Said by one of the 8th graders who were passing by.
They wander around on this floor. Perhaps because there isn’t much interesting stuff on this floor, so there aren’t many students walking around.
“Bro, A tractor” Tid pointed at his right.
“Hey hey hey, Can we steal it?”
“Dude thinks he’s in GTA or something” Said Chompoo.
“Is there a tractor in the game?” Boom asked.
“I dunno, I’ll check it later”
While they’re having fun. Lifa poked at Boom’s shoulder and pointed in another direction.
“There's a geological zone over there. Let’s go there, shall we?”
“Sure, Look fun”
They go to that zone, leaving the others behind since they’re not interested in this topic.
But first…
“Hey’ I’Li. Do you know why the kidney doesn't want to enter this zone?”
“Why?”
“Cuz it’ll get stoned”
*Insert funny drum sound here*
Regardless of how lame Boom’s joke is, Lifa is still laughing for him. Maybe she feels pity for him.
Boom and Lifa continue their exploration as they write the data in their worksheet.
Shortly after, Beam and the others joined in to tell them it's almost noon.
“The teachers will prepare a boxed lunch for us at the entrance,” Tid explained.
“Ok, Will go” Boom responded.
They walked down to the entrance of the museum from the 4th floor. Since no one had ever been before, Lifa volunteered to lead the way for fear of getting lost.
Upon arriving, Beam and Tid separated and reunited with the other 8th graders for a roll-call and stayed with them.
After receiving the lunch. They went to eat together at the stair.
“Where should we go next?” Tar asked.
“Here, The Natural History Museum. It look more interesting”
“You just love dinosaurs. That explains why you wanna go” Chompoo grumbled.
“I thought so too. Let’s hurry up so we can go”
Everyone agrees on Lifa’s proposal. Before hurrying to eat and asked the employee who was passing by to take them to the museum.
“Let’s go”
Upon arriving, Lifa grabbed Boom’s hand and entered the building.
“Is it just me or does Lifa look happier than usual?” Tar asked Chompoo.
“Idk…”
Nevermind that, Chompoo moved to cling to Tar’s arm before following.
Right in front of the entrance are 2 skeletons in a glass cabinet.
But what confuses Tar is that, For some reason, Boom is crying in front of them.
“No…I’Tar. You’re still too young…”
“You son of a bitch. I ain’t dead yet”
‘Oh, My bad’ Boom grinned before walking in with Lifa.
Next up, Is the video that tells the origin of our universe.
“If anyone can tell me when the big bang happened. I’ll give you a special point”
The science teacher, who is watching, turns to Boom before making this offer.
“ “It’s 13,800,000,000 years ago” ”
Boom and Lifa said in unison. Even the teacher is stunned.
“You can continue”
The teacher liked that.
“The sun formed around 5 billion years ago and the Earth was formed around 4.6 billion years ago. Easy”
“.....I’ll give you the extra points”
“You knew too much,” Tar cursed and Chompoo laughed.
Next up, Is a wall that tells the story of the origins of life on planet Earth.
Not only that, There is also a description of the structure of the human body down to the cellular level.
“Isn’t this the character who absorbed the android?”
“Not this cell, dumbass”
Boom and Tar high five each other for the joke.
Inside the building, There’s students and tourists walking around. But there’s not too much that it feels uncomfortable. What a great place to be.
In the 3rd zone. On their left are fossils and on their right are realistic simulations of life from different eras.
And coincidentally, They come across another science teacher and about 7-8 students there.
“If anyone can tell the name of all the different eras of earth, I’ll give you an extra point and a hundred baht”
He’s challenging them.
“Free point and money, I’Li”
“if you dare enough, Then go”
“Bet” Boom accepted the challenge.
“Ah shit, here we go again”
“Dude gonna make everyone jaw dropped”
Said by Tar and Chompoo.
“All of the era, right?”
Boom raised his hand to ask. The teacher nodded back.
“Ok, first off…”
-Hadeon eon, ranging from 4.6-4 billion years ago.
-Archaean eon, ranging from 4-2.5 billion years ago.
-Proterozoic eon, ranging from 2,500-540 million years ago.
-Phanerozoic eon, ranging from 540 million years ago to the present.
Additionally, this eon can be divided into 3 main eras.
-Paleozoic era, can be divided into 6 periods, which is cambrian, ordovician, silurian, devonian, carboniferous and permian era.
-Mesozoic era, or in simple terms, The dinosaur era. Can be divided into 3 eras, which is triassic, jurassic and cretaceous era.
And the final era is called the cenozoic era, or that’s the era in which we live.
“Done”
Wow…The students and the passed by were stunned, even the teacher.
“Where’s my money?”
“i’ll give you 500”
Boom did not give the teacher any time to recover from his astonishment and immediately demanded the prize from him.So the teacher had to give Boom an additional 400 baht as a bonus.
“I got it, I got it”
“Comgrats”
Boom comes back to his friends and shows the money that he just got. Lifa patted his head to express her congratulations.
“You really did not hold back,” Tar cursed.
“Brom have been waiting for this moment,” Chompoo responded.
“I’ll use it tomorrow”
Boom carefully put a 500 baht into his wallet before continuing on the tour.
