Chapter 494 Space Food Mission

Meng Chuan quickly fried the leek box, and as soon as he scooped it up, he heard Lieutenant Colonel Liu shouting outside the window, "Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When Meng Chuan heard the voice, he immediately ran out, "Brother Liu, you're here." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Liu watched Meng Chuan come out with an iron drain, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Meng, what did you do today?" ”

"Fried some leek boxes, you came just in time, I'll bring them out for you."

Lieutenant Colonel Liu nodded, "Okay, Xiao Meng, you can get me a few, by the way, when you come out, don't leave yet, I have a piece of gossip to tell you." ”

It had only been six or seven hours since we met, and Lieutenant Colonel Liu had gossip, and his news was strangely well-informed.

Meng Chuan took four leek boxes, then scooped up another bowl of white rice porridge, and brought it over, Lieutenant Colonel Liu pointed to the small stool across the table, "Xiao Meng, sit down." ”

After Meng Chuan sat down, Lieutenant Colonel Liu looked left and right, there was no one nearby, and then whispered: "Xiao Meng, I have an absolutely reliable piece of gossip, and my superiors have sent another mission to our research institute, 'research space food'." ”

"Studying space food? This mission shouldn't be a new mission, I remember that the original space food was all developed by us. ”

Even if Meng Chuan didn't come here for a long time, he knew that because the selection of astronauts was selected in the Air Force, the food was also researched in two places: the General Logistics Equipment Food Research Institute and the Air Force Aviation Medical Research Institute.

However, the Air Force Aviation Medical Research Institute is not mainly engaged in food development, and their achievements in food are only the development of an Air Force series of special foods.

Therefore, whether it is Air Force voyage food or space food, it is basically from the General Logistics Food Research Institute, so this space food should have been developed a long time ago.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu nodded, "Yes, Xiao Meng, you're right, space food is indeed not a new mission, but our institute has not continued to start the development of this space food for a long time." ”

This made Meng Chuan a little puzzled, "Why, space food should be very important." ”

"Yes, space food is indeed very important, but there are only a few people who can go to the sky, and our country does not have its own International Space Station so far, and it is not a member of the International Space Station, so astronauts can only stay in space for a few days before coming down, because the time is not long, so their dependence on food is not very strong, of course, space food has not been very valued by the leadership, at least compared to other foods."

Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Liu said this, Meng Chuan understood, to put it bluntly, "Astronauts can't stay in space for a few days, so there are not many space food reserves, after all, there are a few people every time they go up, and they come down after a few days, and the food consumption is really very small, so it's normal not to pay attention to it." ”

However, the redevelopment of space food, this should have nothing to do with Meng Chuan.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu looked at Meng Chuan's face and knew what he was thinking, "Don't think that this matter has nothing to do with you, when our food research institute researches the topic, it doesn't pay attention to qualifications or anything, the key is to look at the technology, as long as you apply, then you can go to research, research out, not only can you get credit, sometimes there will be bonuses, no, it's research funding." ”

The institute is this advantage, every time you study a topic, there will be corresponding research funds, to put it bluntly, the research funds are all applied for by yourself, basically everyone will apply more, if there is left, it is their own.

And it's normal for this research fund to be left, it's not just the research institute, take any university as an example, the basic salary of the professors in it is pitiful, but they themselves are very rich, and this is all the research funding that is applied for.

For example, if you apply for a million dollars for the research of this topic, and you take three or four graduate students to study for half a year, you will study it, but in fact, it doesn't cost much money to buy something to do research, so more than half of the money will be left, and you don't think that the professor will give the graduate students money in the end, a better professor can manage your food, it is very good, and the average professor will not care about the food and accommodation of the students at all.

But even so, the graduate student will not complain about the professor, because if he can give you this opportunity to experiment, he is already very fragrant, and the paper in his hand is capital.

Therefore, the extra research funds went into his own pocket, and it was no problem for Lieutenant Colonel Liu to say that it was a bonus.

Meng Chuan didn't care much about the research funding, after all, his qualifications were too shallow, and it was impossible to apply for a large amount of funding, but he was very concerned about being able to research the subject alone, after all, he had just come to the institute, and he didn't have any results, not even his academic qualifications, and this experiment, he also participated in it with a learning attitude, and in the end, he didn't give himself credit, and he had nothing to say.

But Meng Chuan has to prove himself, and the best way to prove himself is to research something, although the director of the General Logistics Office said that he would let him get the leftover recipe, but the leftover recipe has not even established the topic, and if you want to get it, it is not possible to do it for a while, so it is really good to have something to study directly.

Meng Chuan hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu, when did you say when this task would be released, I really want to do it." ”

"Soon, the reason why I told you in advance is that I want you to prepare early and write an application plan in advance, this space food is relatively simple to research, I personally think it is quite suitable for you, don't waste this opportunity."

Meng Chuan hurriedly nodded, "I know this, I know this, I will definitely hurry up and write a plan, if this can be done, I will definitely invite Brother Liu to a big dinner." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Liu waved his hand, "The big meal is free, and I will be satisfied if you can fry two dishes for me personally." ”

"Okay, I'll make a few more dishes to thank you when the time comes."

"By the way, when the experiment is over at night, I'll bring you some internal information about the original research on space food, you are still young, work harder, stay up late and take a look."

"In addition, you can follow Director He to experiment this time, you have to study more, Director He's food research level is at the top in the whole country, there are many food companies outside, and when Director He retires, he wants to poach him with a lot of money, you can cherish this hard-won opportunity."

Meng Chuan nodded, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely cherish this opportunity." ”
