Chapter 575: A Familiar Taste

When the first wave of food was baked, everyone received a system prompt: "The food and equipment are ready, now you can take off your glasses and enjoy them as usual, or you can continue to wear them and enjoy the new experience brought by the new technology!"

But the notice doesn't seem to have helped.

Needless to say, Shen Mo, a young fan who is mainly a student party, is immersed in the fantasy world created by NR at the moment, and has no idea of leaving immediately. The older partners, big and small, did not take off their glasses out of the mentality of inspecting the product or simply being curious and cheering.

Wearing huge glasses is a bit cumbersome, but it's still within the range of something you can get used to overcoming. And its unique benefits we have slowly felt, this thing can simulate the beautification of the dining environment, disgusted with the island scenery in general, you can switch Bali, Maldives with one click;

Even if everyone's avatar movements are slightly stiff and the expression is slightly dull because of the delay of the device, it has become a strange cuteness after watching it for a long time.

The most important thing is that if you don't wear NR, you can only use your mobile phone to order food. The latter needs to download a special application, not to mention, the preview picture is just an ordinary flat photo, and the image of the glasses with color and fragrance is vivid?

So unconsciously, they collectively set a world record for the most people dining together in the VR world.

A total of 1,134 participants set the zào record, which should seem to be relatively "solid", and probably not like the record of "the most people eating breakfast in bed" has been repeatedly played.

In fact, if you replace the plastic chairs that everyone is sitting on with a double bed, you can also break the "most people eat in bed" by the way. It's just that there aren't so many beds on the island, and it's not a good place to challenge this record, unlike large hotels or even large boarding schools, where it's just a matter of managers and principals opening their mouths to break this record.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is not bored enough to fight for eyeballs by swiping records, and the bees with a dozen black technology in their hands do not lack attention, but lack the ability to transform black technology into actual products.

If it was the Guinness fever in the last century, the world's largest leather shoes, the world's largest hula hoop or something would still have a good attraction, but now it is no longer meaningful to make the biggest hot pot and the largest bowl of rice noodles.

First published in 1954, the Guinness Book of World Records itself is a curious conversation for people chatting in beer halls, although it contains the fastest bird, the largest diamond, the largest airplane, the tallest building, which reflect the glorious records of natural or human limits, but the most of its more than 2 million records are such as the heaviest fat man, the person with the most rope skipping, except for its creators and challengers, few people pay attention to and talk about ordinary records.

Big leather shoes, big fried rice and the like are undoubtedly the latter, and the gold content is much worse than that of large aircraft buildings.

For bees, as the world's first VR device with food taste simulation function, Dreamwalker NR has already made history in itself, and there is no need to go to the agent of Guinness Publishing in the United Kingdom to apply for certification.

In fact, the smell simulation function is a bit like an inkjet printer, and the ability to simulate what it smells like depends entirely on the type of material package.

The printer has three primary colors principle to rely on, only need to prepare red, yellow, blue and black four-color ink cartridges are enough, the first three colors can be modulated in different proportions to produce any color, adding black is just because the amount of black is used is not cost-effective to mix with three colors.

When it comes to virtual devices, if you want to simulate a variety of odors, although it is not necessary to prepare simulated flavors for each common smell, it is appropriate that the number is definitely much more than the three primary colors. The more complex the flavor you want to simulate, the more the capacity of the whole flavor pack will be very huge, so large that it is terrifying.

This is because among the five senses of the human being, only smell and taste are the most chemical and material, and there are no stimuli without these two senses.

Under normal circumstances, a certain amount of specific chemical molecules need to travel along the air or saliva to the olfactory epithelium or taste buds of the tongue, and be touched by the corresponding receptor cells, so that the two senses can produce nerve signals to produce the sense of smell and taste.

After research, scientists have found that human olfactory receptors are not completely one-to-one, and similar chemical substances are likely to produce the same odor sensation, and the mixing and modulation of a variety of basic flavors and flavoring agents can produce new taste sensations, and thus the large-scale application of artificial flavors and synthetic flavoring agents has been produced.

But obviously, to simulate more smells and tastes, you need more flavors and flavoring agents, and there is no upper limit at all.

Before human beings broke through the technical problem of intubation behind the brain and realized the direct connection between the nerve and the computer and directly transmitted simulated mobile phone signals to the brain, the only way to simulate smell and taste was to choose flavor and flavor agent simulation.

Bee NR's scent simulator comes with a simple taste simulation function, but the main taste simulator is integrated into the kitchen machine.

Compared with flavors that volatilize in the air and only need a few ppm (parts per million) concentrations to be effective, the amount of various flavoring agents required to be effective is much larger, and they also need to be effectively mixed with ingredients, so naturally there is no way to integrate them on the user side.

On the surface, instead of giving a VR version of the fantasy vase that already has a preliminary foundation, Bee plunges headlong into the deep water of the food industry to engage in more complex food simulations, which is easy to find and trouble, but in fact the latter is even more difficult.

On the one hand, because the mouth and nose are close to each other and there is a relationship between the channels, the sense of smell and taste that people feel is actually the result of mixing, the sense of smell contains a small amount of taste components, and the sense of taste also has a small amount of smell components, the flowers are sweet and sweet, and the spicy food is really choking. Therefore, when the factory prepares fruity drinks without fruit juice, in addition to additives such as sweeteners, acidulants, pigments, and clouding agents that give taste, color, and shape, it is also necessary to add fruity flavors that focus on the sense of smell to prepare a satisfactory "juice".

Although Atletico Madrid has been working hard to eat flowers and analyze them, and mobilized his research team to eat and analyze them together, after all, the time is still short, and it is not possible to perfectly simulate the taste and smell of flowers for the time being. Therefore, this project is still slowly advancing at a normal pace, and there are no competitors to catch up anyway, so there is no need to rush to release a semi-finished product out of the card position.

However, the food taste simulation, thanks to the developed food industry today, the bee team standing on the shoulders of giants has achieved a high degree of completion from the beginning.

With the help of e7u, Atletico's sense of smell and taste is close to the limits of human beings, better than most professional perfumers. Even the gap in experience between the two is shrinking rapidly, mainly because the limited edition perfume is too hard to buy.

However, the analysis of food and drink is much easier, through guò tasting Baiwei, "entering" all common ingredients, legal additives and other possible additives in the library, Atletico has turned himself into a humanoid self-propelled food and beverage analyzer, just sniff, taste and rinse his mouth, and then wait a while to get the results of the comparison analysis. Even the legendary top-secret recipe for Coca-Cola locked in a bank safe has been parsed by him.

It's just that this is useless, and the fast-moving consumer goods like cola are not so much selling formulas, but selling brands and advertising. PepsiCo's promoters once conducted a double-blind test on consumers and found that it was difficult for consumers to distinguish between the two products when they did not know the brand, and there were many misidentifications.

But because the former has greater advertising and marketing efforts, it can afford to invite bigger stars and give more yellow caps to give away drinks, thus forming a strong virtuous circle and consumption habits, and always pressing the latter down.

Moreover, what Atletico analyzed is only the final product content ratio, according to which exactly the same cola can be configured in the real yàn room, and it will not work if it is used for industrial production, because there is no process roadmap.

Luckily, these things aren't completely useless, and it couldn't be more convenient to simulate the taste of cola chicken wings.

Because of being lazy, he directly borrowed the formula of other people's products on a large scale, although the formula handed over to the bee "foodie" team by Atletico Madrid is already a collection of common foods that have been merged and organized, and the latter spent more than a year to optimize and adjust various formulas, but some traces of plagiarism still remained.

Therefore, it is not surprising that dialogues such as "suck, suck, why is the aroma of this beef so familiar? It's like, it's like ......", "It's like beef noodles, right? And it's braised by Kang Shuaifu!"

As one of the most common food flavors, Atletico Madrid originally collected hundreds of beef flavor recipes, based on which the project team combed and optimized them and conducted multiple rounds of double-blind testing to obtain the bee's own beef flavor.

However, what is laughable is that this final recipe is still very similar to Kang Kee instant noodles.

For such a result, Atletico Madrid can only admit it, and can only say that Kang Kee, as an "environmental star who only kills one cow a year", has absolutely achieved the world's top level in simulating the aroma of beef, achieving both low cost and high efficiency, and most importantly, the acceptance of consumers is also very good, and it has become the de facto "beef standard".

Because the sales of Kangji braised beef noodles are so strong, on average, people across the country have eaten at least a dozen packs, and the super high popularity makes this "beef flavor" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at least in the hearts of the 80s and 90s. Then, the bees did a double-blind test for potential consumers, and it was a matter of course for the subjects to pick out the samples that were more like Kang Kee.

Fortunately, this recipe only has the smell part, and it has already been remodeled, and there are obvious differences in details and figures, so Atletico does not have to worry about the Wei brothers suing him for infringement.

And the "role" occupied by beef in this food festival is not too big, although it caused some small discussions because of the "familiar recipe and original taste", but it quickly subsided.

After all, the theme of this food festival is technocratic new food, playing with the concept of virtual reality, simulating the taste of zài's famous dishes in reality is just a time for everyone to get used to, and soon the dishes that appear on the ordering interface are becoming more and more strange and weird, what charcoal-grilled slime, braised roaring rabbit, and stir-fried lightning chicken have all appeared on it.

As soon as these dishes appeared on the ordering interface, the older partners and bosses were still wondering and hesitating, and the limited supply of 99 groups was snatched up by younger fans.

They are still confident in the bees' discipline, although these things have a slightly strange name and shape, but there should be no illegal additives and toxic ingredients or anything, after all, this is a large-scale event for thousands of people, if something happens, Boss Ma will be too late to run away immediately.

Shen Mo grabbed a group of charcoal-grilled slimes for four people for their table, and soon the dishes were automatically delivered by the small cart.

The charcoal in the box glowed red-hot, and the small "slime" worn on the bamboo skewers was grilled on the fire, and the surface was shiny with water and oil, and it looked as if it was about to be roasted.

The slime is the most famous low-level fantasy creature that has a different appearance in different stories, but the mud and slime mix and no fixed shape are the same.

Probably in order to take into account the appetite of many female diners on the scene, the slime here uses the translucent jelly-like sleek and clumpy image in the Q version of the game, with no hands and feet but a big mouth and eyes, combined with the four colors of powder, blue, pink, green, pink, pink and yellow, it looks slightly cute.

Shen Mo pinched a skewer and brought it to his mouth, first a special aroma of barbecue meat drilled into the closed mouth, and then took a bite of the oily roast meat that was more tender and juicy than the most tender and fattest barbecue, and the "meat" was rich in elasticity but did not have the shortcomings of red meat fibers.

While looking at the ordering interface, waiting for the next round of refreshing new dishes, Shen Mo exclaimed: "Haha, this slime is unexpectedly delicious, what do you say this thing is made of?"

"It certainly wasn't the slime anyway. ”

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Ignoring the two bickering friends, Sun Xiang once again exerted her powerful ability to meet, "I think it should be jelly or meat jelly, it tastes a little like red oil meat jelly." ”

Although Jiajing Food has gone quite far in the modernization of agriculture and animal husbandry, it has obviously not mastered the technology of breeding slimes and roaring rabbits, and the backyard of Atletico Ma's family is not an otherworldly breeding ground. As for whether it is fleshy jelly, this is people's secret recipe. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
