Chapter 114 Transforming Materials

According to the ingredients needed to make compressed biscuits, the two first made a list, and then classified them according to the production method and cost of each ingredient, and considered the corresponding production process, difficulty and feasibility.

The main material of compressed biscuits is wheat flour, which is available in this time and space, and can be produced in large quantities, so it can be purchased directly.

Of course, these wheat varieties are all cultivated varieties, as for the planted varieties of wheat, it is not unsold, but the price is expensive, and the nobles themselves have to save food, and it is a bit too luxurious to take it out to make compressed biscuits, so in line with the principle of small profits and quick sales to reduce costs, the two decided to use the wheat flour of the cultivated variety, mainly to promote this food to the army and the people.

Wheat flour alone is not enough, it has to be puffed to make wheat puffed flour.

The puffing technology is also ready-made in North Wharton, and it is more advanced than the old time and space, in fact, the pureed main ingredient of the nutrition bar is a variety of synthetic ingredients under the high temperature and high pressure of the extrusion extruder, through stirring, crushing, heating, cooking, puffing and other steps to make the puffing powder, but to process the wheat puffing powder, it is necessary to carry out some subtle technical transformation of the existing extrusion extruder.

The task of transforming the extruder was taken over by Althea, which was simply pediatric for her and the scientific research institute behind her, and even before the plan was discussed, the scientific research institute had already made a sample of the wheat extruder according to Althea's requirements, and it took less than half an hour before and after.

In addition to the main ingredients, there must also be accessories that represent various flavors, such as meat rong, sesame, peanuts, walnuts and so on.

After the two of them summed it up, they planned to only make compressed biscuits with the flavor of Rourong in the first phase of the product, because sesame, peanuts, walnuts and most of the dried fruit ingredients in the old time and space were not or had become extinct in this time and space, and now the seeds were brought over, but it was not a matter of two times to carry out large-scale cultivation and planting.

And meat Rong is much simpler, cloning pigs, cloning cattle or whatever, the cost is very low, the meat floss processing technology is also ready-made, there is this ingredient in the nutrition bar, and you don't even need to breed cloned animals yourself, you can directly purchase processed meat floss powder in large quantities.

The main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients are there, and the rest are the ingredients and condiments, which are nothing more than oil, salt, sugar, water, and spices, all of which are available in this era, all of which are synthetic, and the taste is no different from the old time and space.

The so-called oil is nothing more than hydrocarbons with different molecular formulas, sugar is a little more complicated, but its molecular structure is only based on hydrocarbon compounds with more oxygen, as for salt and water...... Needless to say?

Spices are even simpler, since nutrition bars can make all kinds of flavors, Li Yi doesn't need to ask to know that North Wharton has ready-made artificial spices and related synthesis technologies, even if there are none, it doesn't matter, all kinds of spice seeds have also brought a lot, it's a big deal to cultivate and plant directly, maybe the cost is lower.

After discussing and sorting out these ingredients one by one, Li Yi suddenly found that it seems that it is not as difficult to process and produce compressed biscuits in this time and space as he imagined, and since all the ingredients can be taken locally, his compressed biscuits are actually not distinctive, and when the time comes, people will just taste fresh, and they may even be imitated by others at any time.

So Li Yi immediately changed his mind again, thinking that he still had to get the peanut species out, with peanuts, not only compressed biscuits have an additional flavor, peanuts themselves are a staple food, but also can make a variety of special non-staple foods, which will definitely make the natives flock to it!

Of course, since Wharton does not have a suitable environment for plant growth, peanuts can only be cultivated and cultivated.

The so-called cultivation and planting, Althea knows a little, in fact, it is to put plant seeds into a silo filled with culture liquid to grow on their own, which looks like they grow in water, not in the soil.

The key to this technology is the composition of the culture medium, which contains carbon dioxide, trace metal elements, water and various organic compounds required for plant growth, and the culture chamber itself also simulates the optimal light, humidity, temperature and other environments, so that its growth cycle is extremely short, and it can quickly ripen crops and obtain yields.

In fact, not only plants, but all the animals cultivated in this time and space are also cultivated and raised through this kind of cultivation warehouse, and even the kind of nutrition warehouse in the field medical center that can save lives and help the wounded, the nutrient solution in it is also a top-level culture liquid.

However, the culture solution of crops is not a high-tech product, nor is it a secret strategic substance, anyone in North Wharton can buy some culture solution to grow some plants and flowers at home as decorations, each cubic meter of culture liquid is only sold for 58 star coins, only a little more expensive than those mineral raw materials, this is still the market retail price, if wholesale or even their own manufacturing, the estimated cost is less than 10 star coins.

Therefore, the focus of Li Yi and Althea's discussion was not whether to grow peanuts, but whether to introduce manufacturing equipment and technology related to culture medium to produce culture medium by themselves.

Li Yi's idea is to buy ready-made ones directly, there is no need to process the culture liquid by yourself, and making full use of the socialized division of labor is the most efficient and trouble-free, but Orthea insists that the cost of directly purchasing the culture medium is too high, and it is subject to others, if the food sales volume is large in the future, the culture medium needed is also massive, in case the culture liquid is not available, it is easy to have problems.

If before, Althea would not have insisted on her opinions so much in front of Li Yi, but since Li Yi asked her to be herself, she really began to act according to her consistent character, and as a result, Li Yi's opinion was strongly opposed by her.

In fact, Li Yi's real idea is to get a vote and leave, he doesn't plan to make the scale of the industrial base on North Wharton's side too large, and when the time comes, he can go wherever he wants with the money, and he doesn't have to be reluctant to lose these industries, but he obviously can't say this to Althea.

In the end, Li Yi had no choice but to agree to follow Althea's idea, and secretly thought in his heart that if something happened to him, he would have to run away, so he would treat it as throwing all the property to her, which could be regarded as a fertilizer that would not flow into the fields of outsiders?

Of course, Althea didn't know what Li Yi was thinking, seeing that the other party respected his opinion, he was very happy and kissed Li Yi very boldly, this is the most intimate contact between the two since they met, Li Yi didn't react at all, and when he reacted, the woman had already gotten up and slipped away, saying that she was going to do some preliminary preparations now.

Li Yi didn't stop the other party, this project would definitely not have been able to be mediated without Althea, a local snake who is familiar with the situation in North Wharton, and the relevant equipment, technology, venues, and channels all have to rely on Althea's relationship to prepare smoothly, and he, the person in charge, can only be the shopkeeper now.

Of course, after Althea left, Li Yi was not idle, on the contrary, he had a lot to do, and it was very important - digest all the computer hard drive data brought from the old time and space!

To digest this information, you first have to solve the problem of the power supply of the laptop, don't think that this is just a small problem, in fact, the trouble is bigger than you think!

Conceptually, the conventional energy used in this space-time is not electrical energy in a simple sense, but nuclear energy, and further the energy produced during the release of electrons and neutrons during the nuclear fusion reaction, so it is also called quantum energy.

According to what Li Yi has learned now, the current energy core is actually a miniature nuclear fusion device, the raw material of which is helium-3, of course, this nuclear fusion is very mild, not the unrestrained nuclear fusion hydrogen bomb of the old time and space, according to the mass and energy method, it can be simply calculated that the energy continuously released by the palm-sized energy core on the tactical belt cannot be used up by a soldier in his life, and the energy core array installed on the starship is enough to maintain the starship to participate in any high-intensity war or ultra-long-distance navigation.

However, even if the energy core only releases a small amount of energy per unit of time, it is not something that ordinary laptops in the old time and space can withstand, just like too high a voltage can easily burn the circuit.

Li Yi only brought two notebooks from the old time and space, if he accidentally broke it, it would be a big trouble, and he couldn't connect the hard disk to the computer terminal in this time and space, right? Even if you can find the right power cord to connect to, it will definitely not be recognized!

Unless Li Yi learns to build a computer himself...... That's even more impossible, the computer manufacturing technology of the old time and space is clearly static in this time and space, because such a computer is simply defenseless for artificial intelligence, so now the relevant technical memory chips are not sold in the market at all, and no one understands this ancient technology, so there is no way to learn it.

So Li Yi's way to charge the laptop in the end was very stupid - he used a solar charger to charge the laptop, and he didn't dare to use all the circuit power supplies in this time and space, and in order not to attract the attention of the natives, he specially bought a high-power lighting lamp and hid indoors to charge the solar charger.

After solving the charging problem, Li Yi officially started the data conversion work, that is, all the data in the hard disk were opened and scanned, including pictures and videos, whether they understood it or not, and whether they remembered it or not, as long as the memory processor forcibly memorized and stored it.

Every time he finishes sweeping a hard disk, Li Yi completely destroys and crushes the hard disk with a laser crusher, anyway, all the content has been stored in the memory processor, and it can be called at any time in the future, and if these hard disks are kept, it is likely to be a big trouble in the future, and it will naturally destroy the corpse.

Although there is a memory processor to help memorize, and it is still the kind that is ten lines at a glance and unforgettable, and the speed of endorsement is still N times faster than that of the old time and space, but the whole conversion process Li Yi still feels very painful, and he is used to directly absorbing the memory chip to memorize knowledge, and it is difficult for him to adapt to this backward learning method.

Only 30T of information, if it is a memory chip, Li Yi can master it all in less than 1 Wharton day when lying in the recuperation warehouse, but with this way of browsing for memory, Li Yi spent 12 Wharton days day and night to finally complete it!

Especially the information in the last hard drive, which is full of island country action movies, there are tens of thousands, and after reading it all, even if you are a high-ranking monk, I am afraid that you will lose the Tao, not to mention that Li Yi is just an ordinary person.

In fact, before he saw half of it, Li Yi's state at that time was more effective than the effect of taking an aphrodisiac, and when he finished reading it all, Althea happened to come, and then ......

And then nothing happened!

Li Yi wants something to happen, but the problem is that he can still feel a little bit after watching a few action movies, and he will be impulsive when he watches a dozen of them, but if he watches dozens of them in a row, he may feel bored, and if it is hundreds, drowsiness will come.

But what if it's tens of thousands?

That drowsiness can wake up, and it is no longer a feeling, but completely numb and completely withered, even if Orthea is now stripped naked and standing in front of him, she will not have any thoughts......

So when he saw Althea in a trance, the languishing Li Yi tilted his head and fell asleep directly on the sofa, nothing happened......

However, Li Yi, who felt that he had a spring dream, woke up again, saw himself naked and Althea sleeping naked with a blushing peach blossom on her face, and saw that the notes placed at the bedside were still playing action movies in the computer, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to destroy the hard drive before he fell asleep, and as a result, something seemed to happen passively......
