Inspired by his daughter, Tang Ning is really ready to start the synthetic food project, which will not be accepted by ordinary residents for the time being, but it is useful on special occasions, such as military supplies, when the scientific research team makes up for problems, it is really reassuring to have a small factory that can produce food by his side.

Not to mention that in the future, human beings will colonize and explore in outer space, alien planets, deep seas, and deep earth, and the supply time at that time will be too long, and it is really important to have the ability to be self-sufficient.

The most feasible solution for this epoch-making factory is to learn from nature completely, and first use plant cells to synthesize the nutrients that animal cells need most: amino acids. Animal cells can only synthesize animal protein, which is the core nutrition of meat, milk and eggs, by relying on a variety of amino acids provided by plant cells "upstream of the production chain".

The plant chosen for the programme is, of course, the C4 food with the highest yield in the world: maize. Completely simulating the production environment of corn cobs in the culture broth allows the cobs to grow directly bypassing the growth cycle. The core competitiveness of small factories lies in their smallness, so they can no longer use the photosynthesis mechanism of corn itself, and the cells involved in photosynthesis of corn leaves must be tiled.

This allows photosynthesis to proceed as quickly as possible, and in the future, the product you will see will be a thin layer of glass with a layer of green on it, which you would never expect from the appearance to be actually corn leaves. The most powerful thing about the C4 plant may be that it can symbiosis with rhizobia to obtain nitrogen fertilizer from the air, so it is best to put rhizobia in a part of the factory to save nitrogen fertilizer.

In fact, the acceptance of synthetic meat should not be as good as synthetic milk, because milk is also made by cows, cows are factories, and we are also food factories? Why discriminate against our own human factories? So the product of Downing's first food synthesis plant was a dairy factory.

The milk-producing cells are the epithelial cells of the mammary lumen formed at the end of the milk ducts. The platypus, a primitive mammal, uses guò milk ducts to transport milk directly to the hair, and the young pass guò to lick their mother's hair for milk. The Down's Milk Factory simulates this scheme of using milk ducts directly, with thousands of tiny milk ducts coming together directly from the milk in one place.

The milk fibre produced in the dairy factory will produce fresh milk drop by drop, and since the entire environment is free of bacteria (except for rhizobia, but it is isolated), the resulting fresh milk does not need to be sterilized and can be eaten.

The dripping milk is stored in the milk reservoir and is as convenient as a water dispenser. What's even more powerful is that the milk duct epithelial cells will only produce milk when they receive estrogen signals, so as long as estrogen is controlled, the production can be easily adjusted.

A tabletop water dispenser-sized milk dispenser with 200 layers of built-in photosynthesis machines, and the concentration of dioxide dioxide is increased to the age of the dinosaurs by absorbing oxygen, which is equivalent to the bioenergy produced by 20 corn trees, and the milk production of half a cow, which can produce 10 liters of milk per day, which is enough to meet the needs of a family.

This is a super upgraded version of Urban Agriculture's mini-farm. Of course, this is in the case of using the official mature formula, if there is no formula, the nutrient solution can be prepared on the spot, which is similar to the standard of hydroponic plants, then the quality will be high and low. At bad times, it may produce less than a litre of milk.

In order to allow users to better enjoy the benefits of magic technology, Downing also redesigned the milk storage pool, which was originally placed in one pool, but the milk has a shelf life, and the shelf life of the previous production and the subsequent production will be shortened together, which is not good.

Therefore, in the new design, Downing divided the milk pool into multiple, for example, a family of three, divided into nine cups, which can be used by everyone to drink milk three times a day, and the milk that always comes out first is drunk first, so that the milk will not be drunk. And this amount can be fixed, using the estrogen control method mentioned earlier, it is possible to get the milk production number jù, nine cups is nine cups, and there will never be an extra cup to waste.

The milk drinker has become a cup of pulp, which is really a factory fan.

Even vegetarians have a part of the vegetarian population who are not strict vegetarians and do not treat milk and eggs as animal products, so milk and eggs are always born together, and similar techniques can also produce eggs. In fact, at least half of the life of a naturally produced egg is still in it, that is, the egg, and the unfertilized egg is considered to have half the life, right?

Only the eggs produced by the Down's Egg Factory are truly "vegetarian", and there are no eggs, all of which are egg whites, nucleic acids, and cholesterol. Naturally, eggs have to have eggshells to protect themselves, and egg factories can ignore this set and directly produce egg whites and yolks.

When the owner needs to eat the eggs, he directly presses the "raw egg" button, and a set of egg whites and egg yolks are squeezed out from the mouth like pink lips. This design doesn't have the pleasure of egg crushing at all, which is a little disappointing.

The flow direction of the eggs is relatively fixed, so there is no need to divide the cups like milk. Squeeze it out directly one by one, and basically it won't have a flavor. Milk can be drunk directly, eggs don't seem to taste good, Downing likes to eat half-boiled eggs the most, so he wanted to design an additional feature for the egg factory - direct omelette.

The owner only needs to press the "omelette" button, and the squeezed egg will enter a small frying pan, and the mini frying pan has already cooked boiling oil, and sprayed a circle of uniform refined salt, just wait for the egg to arrive, and the aroma will overflow and the room will be full of happiness. The mini pan is box-shaped, so it can be flipped to fry until golden brown on both sides, and it only takes two minutes from pressing the button to frying a half-cooked egg.

This can satisfy any hungry ghost who is hungry for Cheng dù. Pancakes and fruits come to a set, and you don't ask for eggs in the future. There are only eggs in the beginning, which is to take care of most people's diet, but soon there will be countless follow-up products to follow.

Duck eggs, goose eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, and even the world's largest ostrich eggs, the world's smallest hummingbird eggs, the eggs of strange monster lizards, and the eggs of terrifying poisonous snakes can be safely and unlimitedly given to curious users.

Marx's so-called material abundance of society is extremely abundant, and under the divine power of Mr. Tang, the way of using the egg factory with a strong sense of immediacy has begun to emerge. As long as the egg factory is developed, everyone can imagine endless possibilities in the future.

An egg factory of the same size as a dairy factory can produce 20 large eggs a day, which is enough for a family to eat.

The easiest thing to test is how it differs from natural products, and it may be oil and fat products. The healthiest of the oils and fats is Greek olive oil, once known as the "liquid gold of the Mediterranean". If the food factory could produce this Mediterranean liquid gold, and most scientists believe that it is not fundamentally different from the original product, it would be very beneficial to promote the factory.

So Downing's third food mill is an olive oil factory. Of course, this thing is used for cooking at home, but if you have an egg factory, you can connect the two factories so that the oil factory can provide cooking olive oil for the mini frying pan that comes with the egg factory, killing two birds with one stone.

An oil factory of the same size as an egg factory is expected to be able to produce 250 millilitres of liquid gold, which is enough to cook.

Casual users may also be interested in trying synthetic ground coffee. It is indeed a powder, which does not go through the biological process of coffee beans at all, but is made by spraying directly from the seed cell sap, and produces coffee powder like milk powder.

With the coffee factory, there will be no more grinding beans. Combined with a two-second boiling heating mechanism, it uses pressure extraction technology to satisfy the appetite of any die-hard fan in just one minute, from pressing the "espresso" button to trickling down.

The ultra-short extraction time ensures that the espresso produced by this process will not have an unwanted sour and astringent taste, which is a super process that surpasses traditional processes such as French press and hand punching. Tasters will prove this qiē.

It is also a coffee factory with the same specifications as a dairy factory, which can produce 50 cups of ground coffee in 24 hours. Downing also designed a powdered lattice borrowed from an hourglass. There are 30 compartments in a set, and the owner only needs to change and clean them after 30 cups. And each compartment is crisply filled with the same amount of coffee. In the past, the hourglass was used to keep time, so you can see how accurate it is.

The coffee hourglass can fill up in one minute, which is exactly the time to brew a cup of coffee, so the process can be cycled like a cloud without any pain points.

The milk factory, the egg factory, the oil factory, and the coffee factory are called the four treasures of space by Downing. Because when announcing these four future-oriented products, he said that such high-tech means will be needed for the exploration of outer space in the future.

Although these products are still in the development stage, their prestige has spread with the prestige of Windsor the Great, and their R&D team has been placed in four new cities that have joined the United Nations, according to the old rules: the dairy factory in Berlin, the egg factory in Glasgow, the oil factory in Vienna, and the coffee factory in Scotland: Edinburgh.

The Scottish referendum has not yet begun, and the King of Windsor has arrogantly arranged all the post-war benefits, as to whether this is a catalyst or a hindrance, it is unknown.

Little Irene asked, "Why isn't there a meat factory?" That's all that matters, isn't it? ”

Daddy said: "Because the meat factory will be a little difficult for people to accept, we will release the four treasures first, and after the four treasures are popularized, people will easily accept the meat factory." And you can't use cheap as a selling point. Instead, it is necessary to engage in hunger marketing, and although these products are not expensive, they must be out of stock, so that those users who have the opportunity to get a set are eager to take pictures and share them. ”

Little Irene: "Oh, I see. ”

Because it was a project inspired by little Irene, Downing gave the project a name: Erin Lab
