The ground commandos are so poor that if it weren't for this accident, many people wouldn't have felt it intuitively. Who would have thought that a dignified military establishment on active duty, when the commander was injured, they would not have enough energy blocks to drive the armored gunboat out.

If it weren't for Zhang Qifan transporting back a batch of energy blocks in advance, they might have to take a bus to the dock.

Therefore, group fights are not something that ordinary people can afford, at least they need some gas money.

Solving the problem of funding the Iron Blood Camp has become an urgent matter, and during this time, Zhang Qifan has been thinking about this problem, until he saw those cultivation tanks on the Dianjin, he had a less mature method.

He didn't know if the idea was feasible, and he needed some advice from Li Lixin.

"Do you like meat?" Zhang Qifan asked.

"Huh?" Li Lixin was stunned when asked, does the method of solving the fund have anything to do with whether you like to eat meat or not?

Although she couldn't understand the relationship, when she heard the word 'meat', Li Lixin's saliva couldn't help but accelerate the secretion, and she subconsciously swallowed it secretly.

"Of course I like to eat, except for nutrients and cabbage, I like to eat everything else." When Li Lixin said the words nutrients, her tone was very fierce, and she seemed to have a deep hatred for nutrients.

It is true that nutrients are very nutritious foods, and its main ingredients are protein, sugar, vitamins and a large number of trace elements, and the ratio is very scientific.

If it's the first time you eat it, it tastes very good, with fruity flavor, sugar water flavor, back to the pot meat flavor, and the taste is very rich. Secondly, the nutrients are semi-liquid, similar to the texture of fruit ice, even if you have no appetite, you can swallow it hard to squeeze it in your mouth.

It's definitely a more convenient and nutritious food than the instant noodles that used to be. On long-distance voyages, this kind of food that is easy to preserve, has high nutritional value, and takes up little space is an indispensable must.

The fanatics of the Cult of Nutrients even claimed that in the history of human cosmic development, the greatest contributors to the development of the universe were the nourishing agents.

No one can refute this statement, because it is true, without nutrients, the process of human development would be limited by the preservation and carrying of food, and the pace will definitely not be as fast as it is now.

However, no matter how much credit the nutrient has made and how much influence it has on history, it is too much for those who have lived on this thing for a long time! Difficult! Eat! Finish!

No matter how many flavors there are, it is just a nutrient, without the tenderness and juiciness of fresh meat, and the crispness and deliciousness of vegetables, even if it can become a superman after taking a bite, Li Lixin is definitely not willing to eat it every day.

It's a pity that the meat of the advance fortress is too expensive. The Forward Fortress is located in the Kuiper Belt, forty or fifty astronomical units from the Sun, that is, forty or fifty distances from the Sun to the Earth.

It is far from the sun and is an enclosed space, which is not suitable for the development of animal husbandry. The nearest livestock bases are on Earth and Mars, where a shipload of ice meat is shipped here for at least four times the price.

There have also been people who have seen the lucrative and profitable and want to build a few small farms here, but once the cost is calculated, the cost price of raising a pound of fresh meat here is even higher than the earth's ice meat CIF price, so no one dares to fight such an idea.

Of course, whether it is earth meat or Martian meat, today's ground commandos can't afford to eat it, only every time the supplies are replenished, there are so many dozen tons in the rations, and the hundreds of strong men in the commandos will be wiped out in three or five weeks.

In the outside market, the price of a pound of ice meat is as high as 90 credits.

Zhang Qifan asked puzzledly: "With such advanced bionic technology, can't artificial meat be cultivated?" ”

Li Lixin smiled: "Of course you can, artificial meat technology was invented as early as the earth era, when the first piece of artificial meat cultivated from cow stem cells cost as much as 320,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 300,000 credits now." ”

"It's a lot cheaper now, and if it's cultivated with bionic technology, the cost of a pound of meat is about 10,000 credits. Would you rather buy 90 credits a pound of earth meat, or tens of thousands of credits of artificial meat? Li Lixin asked angrily.

"Earth meat." Zhang Qifan immediately made the right choice, after listening to Li Lixin's words, he also realized that he had asked a stupid question, when the technology is not difficult, the reason why it cannot be popularized is naturally because of the cost.

"If we can get a lot of artificial fresh meat with a cost of less than 10 credits, do you think we can solve the problem of funding?" Zhang Qifan asked.

"What?!" Li Lixin didn't believe what her ears heard, and involuntarily raised her voice: "Cost 10 credits a catty?" It's not frozen meat, it's fresh meat? ”

Frozen meat is a piece of meat that has been frozen and preserved by cryogenic technology and transported from space herds near Earth, Mars and the Sun. All it takes is a cryogenic carrier to get the most out of this ice meat.

However, no matter how advanced the freezing technology is, the low temperature will eventually destroy the meat fiber of fresh meat, and it will not be able to achieve the tender taste of fresh meat.

Fresh meat is also available in the Advance Fortress, but the price is three to seven times that of ice meat, and the lowest quality is as high as two hundred and fifty credits per catty.

Because fresh meat requires special transport vessels, expensive life support systems, and the right artificial gravity and temperature, a transport ship of the same size can load more than ten times more frozen meat than live animals.

The transportation cost alone is more than ten times farther, and it still needs to be slaughtered and cleaned to transport it, and the cost of each item is far higher than that of the earth's slaughterhouses.

It can be said that being able to eat fresh meat at three to seven times the price of frozen meat at the Forward Fortress is definitely a more cost-effective thing than on Earth.

Even if you can get ice meat for a cost of 10 credits, you can make a lot of money here, and if you change it to fresh meat, it is definitely a business that comes faster than grabbing money. Who cares if it is artificial meat or not, as long as it is non-toxic and harmless, and the taste is consistent, it can be sold at the price of fresh meat.

"How, what?" Li Lixin's eyes were about to burst into stars, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Confidentiality." Zhang Qifan should know that in the world of the undead, there are too many ways to make a piece of fresh meat multiply indefinitely, for Zhang Qifan, a live animal, and a piece of live meat, there is not much difference in nature, as long as the activity of muscle cells is maintained and sufficient nutrition is given, a piece of meat can also keep growing.

It's just that these methods are incompatible with human technology, and of course he can't let Li Lixin know.

Li Lixin also realized that her question might involve core technology, and quickly changed the topic and asked: "But how do you transfer it into the funds?" ”
