The second-generation humanoid release robot, that is, the upgraded humanoid humanoid robot is designed to have a sense of taste and be able to taste things.

It's just that what you have eaten can't be swallowed, because the second-generation humanoid robot has no stomach.

Zuo Dajun rinsed his mouth with the unknown liquid given by the robot, and said with some pity: "Such delicious corn makes me spoiled." ”

"It's good to know." Fan Xiaoming said,

"Actually, it doesn't matter, anyway, you taste it, as for what you spit out, you will use it, if you really want to talk about it, it consumes a little energy."

"My heart aches for these energies!" Zuo Dajun's face was full of reluctance.

"That's pretty much it, see what you can." Fan Xiaoming was a little speechless,

"Pack up, let's look at the other planting areas after we look here, and then there are space ranches, space fisheries, and the No. 1 ecosystem, you are so ink, you can't finish visiting tonight." Zuo Dajun packed up and looked at Bao Qizheng and said: "Is this third-generation humanoid robot going to be on par with real people, what internal organs, stomach and other things are arranged, and one to one copy the real person in all directions from appearance to function." Bao Qizheng smiled and said, "That...... We do have research in this area, that is, you said full replication from shape to function, but this is only research, the third generation of humanoid robots will not develop in this direction, as far as the taste of the second generation of humanoid robots is concerned, the third generation may be canceled, and it depends on the feedback of the second generation of humanoid robots. "The research and iteration of humanoid robots have been going on, and their appearance can be basically determined, but their functions will change dynamically.

Fan Xiaoming looked at Zuo Dajun and said helplessly: "Dajun, I don't know what your brain thinks, if you really want to completely copy a real person, then it's boring, it's too boring to get energy by eating, if you just want to eat, or taste it, then go to the virtual universe, you can eat how you want, and you can taste how you want." ”

"Indeed!" Zuo Dajun smiled,

"There's no need for humanoid robots to mess up that mess, just use it." Several people chatted and left the corn-growing area under the guidance of the narrator.

The next few people looked at the areas where other crops were grown. After that, several people left the space farm and flew towards the space ranch a hundred kilometers away.

At a distance of 100 kilometers, it takes less than a minute to reach the space ranch after accelerating to deceleration.

The five of them were the same as they were in the space farm, first standing outside and looking at the rotating ring device in front of them, and looking at the situation inside the space ranch.

As far as the eye can see, the interior of the space ranch is full of green, and there are scattered cattle and sheep and other livestock on the green meadow.

The cattle and sheep were grazing with their heads down, completely unaware that there were five people watching them from outside the space pasture.

"This grass grows well." Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said,

"Hey, this is different from what I thought, shouldn't it be the kind of food that is fed together...... It's all free-range farming. This was not what he expected.

I thought it was the kind of intensive farming model on the earth, but it turned out to be free-range. Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "The space ranch replicates the ecological environment of the grassland, and adopts a completely free-range model, relatively speaking, the free-range mode is more humane than the centralized breeding model." Zuo Dajun nodded,

"Truth be told, free-range cattle and sheep taste much better...... In contrast, the ecology of space ranches will be more complicated. ”

"Of course." Fan Xiaoming explained,

"Compared with the biosphere of the space farm, the ecosphere of the space ranch is much more complicated, and it basically replicates the ecosystem of the grassland on the earth, if you want to say that people need to wear equipment for activities in the space farm, it is completely unnecessary in the space ranch, and people can move freely in you without any equipment." Compared with plants, the ecology of animals is much more complex.

After all, the needs of the two are different, and their ecology must also be very different. Space ranches need to consider the growth of pasture, and besides, cattle and sheep are inherently complex.

Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "I think this model is not as high as the centralized breeding model, the yield is high, it is easy to manage, the space farm grows pasture or something, and then supplies the livestock of centralized breeding, which is better than the current model." Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "It is undeniable that the yield of this model is much larger, and its related research is also being carried out, and it is relatively not as complex as the current model, of course, the space ranch is of a research nature, and the grassland ecosystem is studied in the process of developing livestock, which can also be said to be a simplified version of the No. 1 ecosphere." ”

"That makes sense." Zuo Dajun smiled,

"Intensive breeding and free-range breeding in the quality is incomparable, even if the food is good, these livestock in a small range of activities will not be good to the mood there, but concentrated breeding should also be studied, after all, its output is large!" There is nothing to say about the quality of free-range breeding, but the yield cannot rise.

It can't be said that the output can't get up, after all, it's not difficult to build more space ranches now. However, it is certain that the use of space cannot be compared with that of concentrated farming.

Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The principal also said that centralized breeding is also being studied, and space facilities are being built, called space farms, which breed almost all the livestock we eat daily, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and so on." ”

"What...... Under construction. Zuo Dajun looked surprised. Fan Xiaoming didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, a picture appeared in front of several people.

In the picture is a large, ring-shaped device. Around the ring device, there are a large number of humanoid robots, engineering mechas, and construction machinery.

Fan Xiaoming explained: "This kind of space farm is almost the combination of the centralized breeding model and the space farm you said, the crops and pasture grown are processed and supplied to these concentrated breeding livestock, and the grown livestock will be directly processed into meat for consumption, and such a space farm can provide meat for a population of 3,000 people...... It is estimated that it will be put into use in another two or three months, of course, but it will be experimental at first. ”

"This ...... Really, if only I could see the construction now, if nothing else, I just want to see how pigs are raised. Zuo Dajun looked forward to it.

"It's not easy." Fan Xiaoming looked at the time and said,

"There is still some time now, so we will accompany you to the virtual universe to see what the built space farm looks like, or the kind that has been put into use." After Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, the five humanoid robots floating outside the space ranch entered the standby state at the same time.

At this time, Su Zhe and the five had already appeared in a space in the virtual universe. The five of them were joined by the narrator.

When the five people appeared, there was still no starry sky in front of them, and with Fan Xiaoming's wave of his hand, a huge circular device was rapidly improving.

From the skeleton of the annular device, it didn't take long for a complete annular device to appear in front of the five people.

During this process, the narrator is on the sidelines.

"This is the space farm being built, and the scale of this ring device is much larger than that of Biosphere 1." Zuo Dajun looked surprised.

At this moment, a beam of light came from a distance, hitting the center of the ring device.

Then a large number of flying saucers appeared, some of which came and went. Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The beam is to provide the energy of the space farm, these flying saucers are to transport materials, what comes in is basic substances, and what goes out is all kinds of meat, eggs and milk, etc., let's go to the shipping dock first." As soon as Fan Xiaoming's words fell, the five of them disappeared in place, and when they reappeared, they were already at the shipping dock.

The five watched as the entire container of goods was transported into a flying saucer. Fan Xiaoming pointed to a flying saucer and said, "This flying saucer is filled with cut beef." As he spoke, the container in front of the five people turned transparent, and the beef in the container was clearly visible.

Under the leadership of Fan Xiaoming, the five of them looked at other containers, including those containing mutton, chicken, and so on.

Zuo Dajun smiled and said, "This simulation is really like that." ”

"It's a simulation, but it's going to be a reality very quickly." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile,

"We want to develop the solar system, we want to explore the universe outside the solar system, a large-scale increase in population is inevitable, the more the population is, the more meat you need, although synthetic food will become the mainstream in the future, but for a long time everyone will still like these meats." Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "I guess so...... But I think that in the future, we don't need to eat any food in reality, just lie down in the nutrition cabin, and other needs are directly solved in the virtual universe. "Synthetic foods are still in their infancy, such as synthetic rice, which can not sprout, but has been replicated at the molecular level.

It is believed that it will not be long before more and more food will be synthetically copied. Compared with food obtained in traditional ways, it is faster and more factory to use synthetic methods.

Food is to solve the energy and material needs of the human body, and then it is people's pursuit of food taste.

With the development of science and technology, the nutrition chamber can solve the human demand for energy and materials, so as to maintain the normal vital signs of the human body.

As for the human demand for taste, it can be obtained through the virtual universe. Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "What you said is also possible, didn't I submit the development of the virtual universe to the relevant departments." There is also corresponding feedback, and many people think that the ideal model is just like you said, where people lie in the nutrition cabin, and their consciousness is in the virtual universe for a long time. Xu Zhengping said: "I guess it will take a long time, but I still feel that I still like the current lifestyle, and it is difficult for me to accept synthetic food." ”

"Yes! Yes! Zuo Dajun smiled and nodded.

"Let's go! Let's go to the incoming terminal. After Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, the five and the commentator disappeared again. When it reappeared, it was at the arrival terminal.

The terminal is located near the center of the space farm, where there are also many flying saucers.

Numerous containers were taken down from flying saucers. Fan Xiaoming waved his hand, and these containers turned transparent.

The contents of the container become clearly visible. There are all kinds of domestic garbage that are messed up by human beings, and there are all kinds of minerals that have been mined.

Zuo Dajun was a little surprised, pointed to these and said: "These are the raw materials of the space farm, which is too much." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with this...... These are all material resources, don't look at these things are messy, in a few years, these are treasures, how to say, as long as they are substances, especially stable, non-radiating substances, these are treasures. Bao Qi nodded and said: "I know something about this, these things we see now will enter the ionization furnace, and then cooperate with the elemental separator, and then obtain the basic inorganic and organic substances required by the space farm through physical and chemical means...... The ionizer is located right next to the incoming terminal. "The ionizer and the elemental separator are used together.

To put it simply, the ionization furnace is to ionize the substance, that is, the substance is continuously heated to reach the ionic state.

Then the ionic substances are classified through the element separator, so as to obtain various elemental elements.

In this way, it is possible to separate the messy substances that are mixed together. Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." The five of them didn't go through the main gate, and Fan Xiaoming waved his hand at a wall of the entry dock, and the wall became transparent.

Fan Xiaoming walked in with a few people. In front of them was a huge space with a large number of containers, which were constantly being pushed into a huge furnace.

The entrance to the furnace glows with an incandescent glow. Zuo Dajun was a little surprised,

"This is the ionization furnace, in other words, if there is no light pillar project to provide energy, there is not so much energy for us to squander, directly ionize these substances, and then separate these mixed ions through a strong electric field magnetic field, this way is good, but it is too energy-intensive, of course, now we don't care about such a little energy." The classification and purification of substances has been possible before, but the terrifying energy consumption has been unaffordable in the past.

That's like now, with the light pillar project, you can continuously collect solar energy, and as long as the sun doesn't go out, there will be a steady stream of energy, so you don't care about this energy.

Although this method is too energy-intensive, its efficiency is frighteningly high. Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "This is the ionization furnace...... Do you want to go into the ionizer and see it, it's like inside the sun. ”

"Entering the ionization furnace, our body is not ...... By the way, this is the free space of the virtual universe, and we can change the rules. Zuo Dajun said with a smile.
