Day 1 (6) It will last for five more days
Tang Yue opened all the boxes and dug out everything that could be eaten, like a bear gouging in a garbage can, anything suspected of being edible had to be bitten, at this time food was more precious than gold, a little more is a little more, and finding one more piece of chocolate could last him for half a day.
He divided all the food into three categories.
First of all, there are flexible packaging canned ingredients containing a certain amount of moisture, most of which are large bags weighing more than ten kilograms or even tens of kilograms, including beef, pork, chicken breast, tuna and macaroni, which have been steamed and sterilized, and then vacuum-sealed with aluminum foil, which can be stored for a long time.
Tang Zong counted that he now had thirty kilograms of beef, twenty kilograms of chicken breast, twenty kilograms of pork, fifteen kilograms of minced tuna, ten kilograms of macaroni noodles, and large bags of dehydrated vegetables, oatmeal and dried mushrooms, dehydrated vegetables and soft-packed sealed meats, the latter containing 50 to 60 percent water, and did not need to be rehydrated when eating.
But the dehydrated vegetables are the same as those dried vegetable leaves in Master Kong's barreled beef noodles, and they must be soaked and twisted before eating.
The second category is ready-to-eat food, which includes all kinds of canned food, which can be eaten without cooking and processing.
To say that this year is 2052, aerospace technology is quite developed, and it is possible to build a space station in Mars orbit and establish a scientific research station on the surface, which is by no means comparable to the predecessors of the twentieth century, but it has made progress in all aspects, but it seems that it has not followed the progress.
What did the aerospace pioneers eat back then, and what Tang Yue is still eating now.
Cans, cans of all kinds, cans that never end except cans and cans.
Canned meat, canned fish, canned vegetables, canned pears, canned pineapples, canned yams, canned yellow peaches, canned cashew nuts, full boxes of canned food.
Although there is a kitchen in Kunlun Station, the gang in Jiuquan obviously thinks that precious time should not be wasted on cooking, and it is not as convenient to fry steak as canned food, how good is canned food?
There are fish, meat, meat and vegetarian, as well as fruits, and if you open a few more cans, it will be a full banquet, so the cargo spaceship is full of cans.
Tang Yue, a person from the nutrition center, said that although it is canned, it is a high-tech canned food in the 21st century, using instantaneous sterilization technology, flavor preservation technology, harmless preservative technology, taste recovery technology and other high-tech, which is different from what was eaten on the Shenzhou spacecraft back then.
So don't you resist...... Come, try this? Our special canned Laoshan white flower snake grass blister Swedish herring?
Let's try one.
Taste one and you won't die.
When the scientific expedition team was still there, they were actually very reluctant to eat canned food, so the canned food was basically kept, Tang Yue was cleaning up these cans and secretly sneered, saying that these hellish cans would be left for the next team.
Now that I think about it, I really set up a big FLAG to show in the wind.
In addition to bulky ingredients and ready-to-eat foods, the last one is high-energy and emergency food.
Chocolate, energy bars, coffee, drink powders and compressed biscuits are included.
This food is characterized by its high energy density.
In the early days of space missions, this type of food was the bulk of the supply, with 50 kilograms of beef lasting only a week, but 50 kilograms of compressed biscuits for several months.
It was only later that the Kunlun Station was successfully established, and the members of the scientific expedition team moved to indoor work, and the living environment was greatly improved, and the proportion of compressed food decreased.
But in order to make an emergency, a considerable number of compressed biscuits are still stored in Kunlun Station, which are usually used to weigh table legs.
"That's enough food for six people for six months." The old cat said, "Even though I have to eat compressed biscuits for the last three months...... You can eat at least three Earth years alone, and if you tighten your belt to get by, you should be able to eat for four or five years. ”
"Five years?" Tang Yue glanced at all his belongings, "What will I do in five years?" ”
"If you can live to five years' time, then eat dirt...... Anyway, I think you are about to become an immortal at that time, and you can survive by eating soil and drinking the northwest wind. The old cat said.
Tang Yue rolled his eyes, the old cat never spit out any good words in his mouth.
"Bodhidharma has only been facing the wall for nine years." The old cat said, "If you can live five years on Mars alone, you will be able to become a Bodhisattva without saying that you will become a Buddha, right?" A few years later, if any intelligent creature digs you out of the wind and sand of Mars, it will definitely be shocked, bow down, and give you a title, and it will be called the Martian Great Survival Bodhisattva. ”
"What about you?" Tang Yue asked.
"If I hadn't been damaged at that time, then I'll preach for you as a sacrifice." The old cat said, "Spread your deeds so that you can be the supreme god of Mars...... If I'm unfortunate enough to be damaged, there's no way around it, robots also have a lifespan, I hope you understand. ”
Tang Yue picked up the compressed biscuits on the table and smashed them.
"Give me some helpful advice!"
"Don't be in a hurry, it's useless to be in a hurry." The old cat dodged the compressed biscuits and spread his hands, "You should be glad that there are enough supplies in the station to last so long, so that you have enough time to make plans slowly...... What is the saying? It's called living in the moment. ”
"Living under the crotch?" Tang Yue felt that this sentence really had connotation.
He reboxes the food and replaces it on the shelves, and then he has to make a detailed plan and list of the food and fresh water he consumes each day, and he has to weigh it to the gram.
If you save one gram per meal, that's three grams a day, and that's 1,095 grams in an Earth year.
One kilogram of food can last at least one day.
Tang Yue calculated carefully, picking the weight from every place where he could be rich, and every kilogram of food added was equivalent to extending his life by one day, he felt that he was a crew member who was stranded on a desert island because of a shipwreck, and Tang Yue had to make the best use of all the resources in his hands and do his best to survive.
But the seafarers may still be rescued one day, but Tang Yue will never be able to return to Earth.
Knowing that the day would come when the supplies would eventually run out, Tang Yue was still trying to postpone the arrival of this day as much as possible.
"Mr. Tang Yue? Mr. Tang Yue? Are you absent? Can you hear me? ”
Mai Dong appears on the screen of the video call.
Tang Yue got up and turned his head with the old cat, "Miss Mai Dong? How's it going? Have you already counted all the supplies over there? ”
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.
"How's it going?" Tang Yue and the old cat asked in unison.
"Electricity and energy are all working fine, it's food......"
"What's wrong with the food?"
The girl pursed her lips, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face became pale little by little, and Tang Yue suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Miss Mai Dong? Miss Mai Dong? Answer my question. ”
"I ...... I counted it several times. Mai Dong's eyes lowered, and he replied in a low voice, "The food in the space station...... It can last for five days. ”
