Chapter Seventy-One: Liquid Food
The helicopter soon returned to the base, and the sky was already a little dark at this moment, Wang Jie stepped off the plane with a stomach full of doubts and walked quickly to the base building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What are Xiaole and Ling'er doing? Why don't you let me come back directly?"
Wang Jie couldn't think of a reason, but Wang Jie faintly felt that there was a "surprise" waiting for him! But Wang Jie couldn't imagine that there was indeed a "surprise" waiting for him!
"Huh, there's someone in the house, could it be Ling'er?"
Wang Jie, who was walking towards the base building, suddenly noticed movement in the house next to the base building, but he didn't know if Zhou Haiyang or Ling'er was inside.
Wang Jie didn't contact Xiaole and walked directly in the direction of the house.
Wang Jie strode to the side of the house quickly, and Wang Jie could hear the sound in the house clearly, so Wang Jie quietly stood outside the house and eavesdropped on the sound coming from inside.
"Sister Haimei, is it right for me to do this?
Ling'er took the salt bag in her hand and timidly asked Zhou Haimei, who was swallowing her saliva. Although Ling'er can almost be as good as a normal person through his increasingly powerful divine sense, there are still some details that cannot be perfected.
"Looks like it's a little bit too much......"
Zhou Haimei couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she looked at the clear soup that had just been poured into a pile of salt, and as soon as she shouted to stop, Sister Ling'er poured a lot of salt into it at once......
"What should I do, Uncle is coming back soon! I can't redo it!"
Ling'er's eyes suddenly turned red, today is the first time she cooks, just to surprise Wang Jie, but she has never cooked since she was a child and can only cook through her divine sense, she always can't master the addition of seasonings.
Seeing that Wang Jie was about to come back, but this pot of soup was ruined on the last one! Ling'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Zhou Haimei was a little anxious when she saw that Ling'er was about to cry, so she hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it should still be okay to add some more dilutions!"
It's just that even Zhou Haimei herself doesn't believe it, just so much salt just now, how much more weight does it take to dilute it!
"Don't worry, I've done so much, even if there is no soup, it doesn't matter much!"
Zhou Haimei turned her head to look at a bunch of finished dishes that were kept warm and swallowed her saliva again, but it was not the saliva she wanted to eat. Although these dishes look good, Zhou Haimei, who guided the whole process, knows these dishes......
"No! How can you cook without soup! I'll definitely do it!"
Ling'er clenched her pink fist and said vigorously.
Looking at Ling'er who was moving again, Zhou Haimei couldn't help but shake her head, Zhou Haimei, who often cooks, could see that Ling'er was definitely cooking for the first time. However, Ling'er's talent for cooking is good, and those good-looking meals are the best illustration.
At the beginning, Ling'er pulled Zhou Haimei to teach her how to cook, and after Zhou Haimei taught Ling'er the first dish, Ling'er refused to let Zhou Haimei help, but operated the whole process.
However, Zhou Haimei kept sighing in her heart, Ling'er's talent is good, but not being able to see things is her biggest disadvantage. It is important to know that at least 80% of the external information is obtained visually. Without the aid of vision, there was a big problem with the proportion of seasoning in almost every dish.
Zhou Haimei had already secretly started praying for Wang Jie.
"It turns out that Ling'er asked me to come back later to prepare a meal for me! I just said it was a surprise! My sixth sense is really very smart!"
Wang Jie was secretly happy in his heart, but as for what Ling'er said about putting too much seasoning, Wang Jie directly and selectively ignored it.
Poor Wang Jie didn't know the whole process, but soon after Wang Jie tasted these "surprise" dishes, he wouldn't be so happy to laugh!
Wang Jie didn't continue to listen, it would take some time for Ling'er to cook, and Wang Jie didn't want to wait, so he simply went to the combat laboratory to take a look, Wang Jie was very concerned about the problem of food!
The distance inside the base was not far, Wang Jie walked unhurriedly, but after a while, he had already walked to the door of the combat laboratory.
"Permission via... Welcome Commander!"
With the neutral electronic synthesized sound, the door of the combat laboratory slowly opened, and Engineer One did not come out to greet him this time, presumably under research.
Wang Jie didn't care and walked in directly, the internal space of the combat laboratory was still quite large, but now the number of engineers was too small, and the entire hall on the first floor was now empty.
Wang Jie wandered around on the first floor, all kinds of instruments that he had never seen before aroused Wang Jie's curiosity.
"Click~"
Suddenly, the glass pillar in the middle of the first floor opened, and Engineer One, dressed in a white scientific suit, walked out of it with a container containing a dark green liquid.
"How's it going? Is there any progress? Can you conquer it in a short period of time?"
Wang Jie, who was wandering around, greeted him for the first time and asked a lot of questions.
"Commander, after our analysis and testing, the soil is now full of a special element that has never appeared before, this element has a strong catalytic effect on some plants, and can even mutate some plants, but for crops that can produce food, this element is like sulfuric acid!"
"We won't be able to crack this mysterious element for a while, unless we increase the number of engineers. Engineer Number bowed his head in shame.
While this responsibility is not their problem, as a loyal scientist at the base, not being able to complete the commander's task is a sign of incompetence for them.
"It's okay! I'll add more engineers when I have more energy points in a while, and then this problem will be over!"
Wang Jie said comfortingly, after these few scientific researches, Wang Jie also saw the strength of engineers, Wang Jie wanted to add a few more engineers, but for the time being, there were not too many energy points.
"But Commander, we've developed an alternative!"
Engineer No. 1 suddenly remembered what he was doing, so he hurriedly signaled to Wang Jie.
"Oh, what is this, what's the use?"
Wang Jie asked curiously as he stared at the liquid in Engineer No. 1's hand.
"This is the type A food liquid that we have just developed, and its main role is to replace food. A normal person can survive with three food liquids a day, but the disadvantages of this food liquid are also a bit big!"
"Since the A-type food liquid is synthesized with special substances extracted from plants, there are almost no various nutrients in it, and this food liquid supports the survival of normal people at most, but there is nothing to do about the excess nutrient supply!"
Wang Jie was directly shocked, the food liquid developed by Engineer No. 1 was the same as the nutrient solution that only existed in science fiction!
However, Engineer No. 1 also explained that the shortcomings of this newly developed prototype food liquid are also obvious, that is, through the food liquid, people can provide normal consumption for a day, but there is no excess nutrition to provide people with growth, development, or other things.
However, this flaw does not have much effect, you know, how expensive food is in the end times!
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the military base was on a supply system, and ordinary people could receive a little food to sustain themselves, but now, the number of survivors of Fortress 3 is so large, even though a large number of supplies are being transported back every day, it is still not enough to make ends meet.
As a result, the current No. 3 fortress has stopped distributing food for free, and has instead implemented the practice of hard work, and the military has issued various tasks such as construction, search, transportation, etc., by completing these tasks, you can obtain mourning crystals, and then buy food sold by the military.
However, the amount of food sold by the military is limited after all, and some powerful and wealthy people collude with the military to directly intercept the cheap food sold by the military and sell it at a high price!
The current No. 3 fortress has undergone great changes, and it no longer has the rules and stability that Wang Jie had when he first went!
A large number of survivors had to join the army or go out in search of supplies, and every day people starved to death were abandoned from Fortress Three!
Wang Jie didn't know about this, but Wang Jie could conclude that food that could not be regenerated must be very expensive!
"No. 1, can this kind of food liquid be mass-produced?"
Wang Jie keenly smelled the business opportunities in the middle! Whether it can be turned into huge profits depends on the cost of food liquid!
"Not yet!" Engineer No. 1 shook his head, "The synthesis of Type A food liquid cannot be made into a production line at the moment, and can only be synthesized in the combat laboratory. ā
"Alas, then there is no way!"
Wang Jie was a little disappointed, if the food liquid can be mass-produced, then the sale of the food liquid must be the base's biggest income! What can be more valuable than life-sustaining food in the apocalypse?
"Commander, why don't we stop the soil transformation project and focus on the research and development of food liquid, and wait until the scientific research team expands before we carry out the soil transformation project?"
Engineer No. 1 asked Wang Jie's opinion, without Wang Jie's approval, No. 1 would not dare to change the project by himself, even if it could not be completed!
Engineer No. 1 said that it is really the most correct choice, the soil transformation project is difficult to make progress at present, it is better to win the food liquid as soon as possible, this is more cost-effective, Wang Jie nodded and agreed with the opinion of the No. 1 engineer: "Yes, quantify the food liquid as soon as possible, it is best to reduce the production cost, after all, I plan to sell this as a commodity." ā
"Yes, Commander, we'll finish our research quickly!"
No. 1 nodded heavily, he was still very confident in Engineer No. 1 of the food liquid!
"Di~"
Wang Jie was just about to speak, when Xiaole's figure suddenly appeared beside Wang Jie.
