The restaurant of the passenger liner Photon Rose is not like similar places on other ships, but is designed rather peculiarly. Quick reading for mobile phones: àp.1(6)κx The text version debutsBecause with simulated gravity, passengers can dine as freely as if they were on a planet. However, the centrifugal force used to simulate gravity did not work very well, and the engineers used transparent glass to divide the dining area of the restaurant into many semi-enclosed spherical spaces. Each spherical space has a dining table and a circle of chairs where people eat. The bottom of the spherical space is connected to the absorption and cleaning facilities. In the case of low gravity or even weightlessness, the food debris generated during dining can be effectively confined to these small spaces, without 'flying' around the restaurant, and at the same time easy to clean up.

Jiang Ziyue came to the Lingnan restaurant and found a spherical glass room nearby to sit down.

The computer terminal in the glass room 'projected' menus and food images onto Jiang Ziyue for him to choose from. Lingnan Restaurant, as the name suggests, mainly deals in Cantonese cuisine, but also serves other flavors such as Lusu, Sichuan, Hunan and Xinjiang.

Dana Pontick quickly arrived at the restaurant. She changed into the same civilian space clothes as most of the passengers wear, and the tightly wrapped fabric sandwich not only effectively wrapped the muscles and 'flesh' of her body, ensuring the normal operation of her body functions in a high-speed and low-gravity environment, but also fully showing off her beautiful body curves.

Jiang Ziyue quickly waved at her and beckoned to the glass room where she was sitting.

Dana walked over with light steps and sat down opposite Jiang Ziyue.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Ziyue pointed to the three-dimensional image of the menu and asked enthusiastically.

Dana looked at it, and didn't know which dishes suited her taste, so she said, "I've never eaten Chinese food, you can order it." ”

"Okay." Jiang Ziyue said as he pressed on the imaging with the sensing function.

A menu is quickly delivered to the kitchen. After about five minutes, a waitress brought two bowls and cutlery.

Although each spherical glass room is connected to a closed food conveyor belt, and the restaurant is equipped with a robot that delivers food, the restaurateur only uses them as a backup. In this highly automated and intelligent world, food and beverage has a lot of tradition, just like many areas of life, such as the home. Hiring a waiter is certainly more expensive than simply using robots and conveyor belts, but no matter how intelligent the machine is, it can't replace the communication between people. After all, dining is often regarded as a cultural activity, and in the process of delivering delicious food, it is inevitable that there will be a flow of 'communication' between human beings, between diners, and between diners and waiters.

The waiter was very beautiful, and gently laid out the tableware and two bowls, lifted the translucent bowl lid, and said in a sweet voice: "Oyster seafood soup, please use it slowly." ”

The contents of the bowl were deceptively simple, with a few oysters soaked in water and some green onion 'flowers' and chopped coriander floating on them. Dana couldn't wait to take a bite, it was so delicious that it made her appetite work.

"Where is this made?" Dana asked with interest.

"Miss, this is a natural product of the planet Africa, and all our food ingredients are supplied there." The waiter replied with a smile, "We strictly inspect all raw materials to ensure that there are no genetically modified organisms and no pollution." ”

"These oysters are also from the earth." Jiang Ziyue said.

"Yes, sir. In fact, almost all of the products we eat every day come from the earth, and even many cooking methods are used from the earth hundreds of years ago. ”

The other party's words inspired Jiang Ziyue, and said with a smile: "Even we ourselves are from the earth. ”

"That's what the gentleman said. Please use slowly, other dishes will be delivered quickly. The waiter withdrew after speaking.

Jiang Ziyue took a spoon and stirred the soup in the bowl, thinking about something.

Dana, who was on the other side, simply picked up the bowl and poured all the soup and oysters into her stomach, and when she put down the bowl, she saw Jiang Ziyue's distracted posture, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Jiang Ziyue let out a wry smile, "What I said just now made me think about why we and the people of the Immortal Interstellar Federation are all from the same planet, but we still have to be hostile to each other and fight each other. ”

"Werther, you're not a soldier anymore, you don't have to go to war anymore." Dana said, but her eyes fell on the other man's bowl.

"You're right." After she reminded her, Jiang Ziyue seemed to suddenly realize, and at the same time found that she had already drunk the soup, and asked in surprise: "Finished drinking so quickly?" ”

"If it's good, drink it faster. Now I finally don't have to eat anything from the cafeteria. Dana said excitedly, obviously dissatisfied with the army's food supply.

"The army is like that, the meals are the same every week. But it's good to get used to it, after all, the nutrition is still very high. Jiang Ziyue said calmly that he had long been accustomed to all the lifestyles of the army, including eating in some special situations with the ancient way of squeezing toothpaste in space.

Subsequently, steamed rice, roast goose, braised 'meat', eight-treasure vegetarian dishes, and even 'Chaozhou' oysters were served. Faced with these delicacies that she had seen before, Dana Pontick opened her eyes wide, grabbed her spoon and prepared to "kill".

"Wait, with chopsticks." Jiang Ziyue hurriedly stopped her.

"These two little roots?" Dana picked up the chopsticks in front of her and asked, "But, I won't use them." ”

"Watch me take it, that's all." Jiang Ziyue lifted the chopsticks and made a demonstration action of picking vegetables.

Dana followed his example and placed the chopsticks on the index finger and between the index and middle fingers of her right hand, but she couldn't use them, and her fingers were not dexterous enough, and she couldn't hold anything after several attempts.

Looking at her embarrassment, Jiang Ziyue said with a smile: "Forget it, let the waiter send a deputy knife and fork." ”

"Eat Chinese food with a fork and knife?" Dana asked helplessly, "Is that okay?" ”

Jiang Ziyue had a nonchalant expression on his face, and said: "It's man-made, as long as you can eat these things better, you can use any tools." ”

When the waiter brought the knives and forks, Jiang Ziyue soon realized that they were receiving more and more attention. Because the passengers who entered the restaurant saw a rather interesting scene, in a dining room, a blonde 'woman' brandished a knife and fork for Western cuisine and enjoyed authentic Chinese dishes with relish.

The "Photon Rose" spun around its ten huge annular cabins as it accelerated into the depths of the universe. From the planet Iserlohn to the planet Neo-Byzantium, it is a full 5,000 light-years travel. Photon Rose will fly at intermittent speeds of light at speed 6 in Akuberi. For every hour of faster-than-light flight, the spacecraft had to change to faster-than-light and fly for about five hours in a reaction propulsion state. Use this time to inspect and maintain the spacecraft, confirm the safety of the space on the voyage, and provide activities or meals for passengers and crew. Coupled with the fact that the approach to the "Himalaya" star field at the end of the voyage was affected by speed control, the voyage of 5,000 light-years was close to 20 days.
