Chapter 244: Scientific Winemaking Experiments
Gao Li thought that there would be a big war when he came here, but he didn't expect that there would be no big war. On the contrary, it is really gratifying to harvest a business.
Winemaking, Gao Li Hui, and quite good at it. When I was in my hometown in the countryside, I didn't talk about brewing my own rice wine. Later in the city, home-brewed wine has become a common operation. He bought a set of equipment to brew his own beer, which has also become the most convenient means to win the feelings of employees. After all, pulling the programmers and painters, who are already slightly bald, get drunk at home and complain to each other, which not only decompresses, but also promotes team unity.
And Gao Li's own winemaking technology has improved by leaps and bounds during this period.
However, Gao Li has never tried beet winemaking, and it seems that the bear demons have not tried it either. However, according to the principle of chemistry, as long as there is sugar, it can be broken down into alcohol by yeast. Gao Li once drank sugarcane wine brewed in the countryside, and there was probably no difference in principle. However, the search for Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires some effort, after all, not all yeast makes good wine.
At this time, Gao Li had a brain-opening idea, all animals have true qi, from mammals to insects, they all have true qi, so can true qi promote yeast to synthesize alcohol?
Almost all yeast produces alcohol, but generally yeast ferments to a limited extent, only about 10%. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on the other hand, can reach a 17 percent high, so if you add the assistance of true qi, can you reach a higher degree?
All this is yet to be experimented.
Coming out of Anton's tent, Nonoka followed and said in a low voice: "I looked around just now, and one of the four wolf kings seems to have a problem. He is not only the most determined in the unity of the bear demon, but also has prejudices against the Central Plains. In addition, jellyfish have also found strange traces. ”
Evil?
Gao Li stopped and looked back at the jellyfish.
"Yes, I sense the presence of the same kind. However, it is not the 'soul' level, hidden in the body of the Central Plains people. Jellyfish said.
"That's interesting. Gao Li smiled, "The bear demon, the wolf demon, the Central Plains people, the evil strange, and the eagle demon are all here, and now it's up to the heavens." After speaking, Gao Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ling Long. As a typical celestial, Ling Long smiled, knowing that Gao Li was not intentional, but was happy that Gao Li did not regard her as a celestial.
"Okay, the stage has been set here, so let's see what kind of play we can sing. "Gao Li Dao.
Back to Bai Yue's camp, Hei Feng was also there at this time, Gao Li asked about the wolf demon who was particularly supportive of the bear demon, Bai Yue heard it, and said: "The person who can do this kind of thing is no one else, only Batu." ”
Batu is one of the four wolf kings and occupies a very fertile pasture. However, this man is extremely arrogant, and always says that wolves want to run wild on the grassland and eat meat. Always give horses to the Central Plains people, what is the difference between that and dogs.
For this statement, most wolf kings are calloused. After all, now they are wolf demons, a type of human, not real wolves. Who in this world doesn't work to make money? Horse herding makes money easily and happily, and the border of the martial country is not guarded against wolves and demons, and you can enter and exit freely, and even naturalization can be done at will. There is danger and the military army as a backing, is there an easier job than this?
It was precisely because Batu's statement reached the ears of the horse merchants of Wuguo that the horse merchants refused to accept his horses. After going back and forth, Batu had to sell his horses to other tribes at a low price, so that their tribes would make a lot less money. He is even more aggrieved, and there are even fewer good words in his mouth.
"This is the so-called and can't complain about others. "Gao Li is helpless, why are there always some people in this world who take the care they get for granted? What is the difference between this and the ADC assisted by ridicule?
"I guess this guy has about a leg with the Eagle Demon. Black Blade said.
"Do you smell the smell of an eagle demon on him?" Bai Yue asked.
"No, not only that, he doesn't have any excess smell on him, is it?"
Bai Yue also laughed: "That's really weird." ”
Gao Li could understand that the wolf demons had an extremely sensitive sense of smell. In the face of the wolf demon, basically what you have done in the recent period, they can guess eight or nine. But as a wolf king, there is no excess smell on his body, which can only mean that he used special means to erase the smell. If it weren't for the ghost in his heart, almost no wolf king would do this.
"Lao Bai, let's go find out about him?" said Hei Feng.
"It's okay, the banquet for Anton has to be opened, and when he drinks too much, let's go!" Bai Yue said.
Gao Li and the others returned to their tent, and Gao Li was full of excitement at this time. The business with the bear demon is a big deal, and the beet can not only be used to make wine, but its main role is to make sugar. In these years, the main source of sugar is honey, and Gao Li has not seen sucrose yet. Honey has a long production cycle, small yields, and is extremely expensive. As a kind of luxury that is not necessary for life, ordinary people will only buy some during the New Year's holidays.
And all this will become history after the appearance of sugar.
Gao Li estimated that if the bear demon really regarded wine and even spirits as his life, as Anton described, then the supply of spirits would definitely bring Gao Li a large amount of beets. However, Gao Li will definitely lose money in the first year, after all, now two thousand bear demons are hungry. Feeding them is a big job. But Gao Li doesn't care, this will be a long-term investment. In the early days of starting a business, burning money is a must, and as long as it can be rewarded, then everything will be worth it.
Noroka is calculating the feasibility of purchasing grain and exchanging sugar beets for spirits, and the scientific statistical methods he learned from Gao Li are now being carried forward here at Noroca, which is quite reassuring to Gao Li - after all, he doesn't have to do it himself.
Gao Li, who has free time, is embarking on an experiment.
Yeast catalysis experiments.
He bought a bag of mare's milk wine from the locals, because it was a fermented and mature wine, and there must have been a lot of dormant yeast in it. Gao Li poured a drop of mare's milk wine on the already pounded beetroot, and then he turned on the AR vision and did a very bold thing.
He first passed it between himself with his true qi, pretending to sterilize it, and then pointed his finger at the drop of mare's milk wine.
"Open the meridians!"
"Spread the power!"
In this world, I'm afraid only Gao Li dares to pass on his skills to fungi.
At this moment, Gao Li forgot one thing, in addition to yeast, there were many other miscellaneous fungi in the wine. In case this transmission fails...... Create Super Aspergillus flavus, or Super Vaccinia virus or something (although whether a virus counts as a living thing is another story).
However, Gao Li did it anyway, because he bet that there was more yeast in it.
Luckily, he was lucky.
At the moment of transmission, the small drop of mare's milk wine shook slightly, and then quickly merged with the mashed beetroot. Violent bubbles bubbled up, but there was only a hint of alcohol. Gao Li was stunned for a moment, and then he smirked.
Yeast produces carbon dioxide in an aerobic environment, which is the process of dough rising. The anaerobic environment will produce alcohol, and the reaction just now is too fast, and before Gao Li can even react, this small bowl of beets has become a yeast medium.
Fortunately, in the spirit of science, Gao Li did not use up the samples all at once, and there was a bowl of beetroot. But this time, he couldn't afford to waste it.
Whether it is the evil 'mother' controlling the evil one, or the queen ant controlling the soldier ants, or Chu Miaoyi controlling the puppet, there is a similar method. So what if this method is used to control fungi?
The fungus is a very simple fungus that doesn't have any thinking ability of its own, but the puppet doesn't have either.
When you think of it, you have to do it.
The combat power of these fungi in front of him in Gao Li's eyes was only 4, but these Xu True Qi meant that there was a possibility of controlling them theoretically.
However, a theory is a theory.
When Gao Li tried to control these yeasts with the exercises he learned from Chu Miaoyi, he found a major problem.
He didn't know exactly how yeast made wine.
Controlling fungi is fundamentally different from controlling worker ants or puppets.
To control the worker ants, you only need to give orders, and the worker ants will do things themselves.
To control the puppet, Chu Miaoyi knows how to make the puppet move, and the puppet itself does not need it.
Now, Gao Li does have a connection with yeast. But Gao Li didn't know how to make yeast move, after all, he didn't know what sugar was in the yeast world. Yeast, on the other hand, does not have a nervous system and does not know how to move, it only exchanges substances through chemical signals.
I'm going to die, what can I do?
