Chapter 308: What I Saw and Heard on the Train
After a group of reporters asked questions.
Lilith took them on the train.
Inside a normal carriage.
As the Yomiuri Daily, Goryeo Daily, Global Times, and Phoenix Media, which are the three East Asian countries, they are arranged in the soft sleeper compartments on the left and right sides.
They opened the small door directly facing the hallway and could see the others.
Mitsui said to Kim Daewoo of the Goryeo Daily on the other side, "Kim Sang, the width of this train should be about 4 meters. β
"According to the route guide, this railway is 1600 mm gauge, which belongs to broad gauge." Kim Daewoo buried his head in his notebook, his hands quickly editing the press release.
Mitsui revealed a glimmer of hope for the future: "Homo sapiens' technology is really amazing! If it is possible to introduce Toei, it may be possible to connect Daeyuan Island, Okinawa Islands, and Toei Islands directly from the southern Fujian Province of China. β
"Huh...... Mitsui Sandy is too naΓ―ve in his thoughts, who will pay for it? Will America allow it? Jin Dayu didn't raise his head, but asked directly.
As long-time journalists stationed abroad, they all know that the integration of East Asia is definitely an intolerable thing for America.
Now if we look at Southeast Asia, which has now completed integration, we know that once the integration of East Asia is completed, all the fulcrums of America in eastern Asia will be completely lost.
After the loss of Southeast Asia, America's global hegemony was already in jeopardy.
If the two more strategic fulcrums in Northeast Asia were to be lost, the consequences would be catastrophic, and could even lead to the direct collapse of America's global hegemony.
When Mitsui heard this, he also showed a wry smile: "Yes! America, this is an unavoidable conundrum. β
After the train starts.
A few flight attendants push small carts and peddle desserts, drinks and fruits in the hallway.
Wu Qingli of Phoenix Media and Guan Hongzhi of the Global Times were also chatting without a word while writing press releases.
Suddenly, the two of them heard a voice coming from the door.
"Need drinks, desserts and fruit?" The flight attendant asked in Chinese.
Wu Qingli stood up and looked at the things on the three carts, she first glanced at the drink: "Two bottles of lemon tea, a mango pudding, and a matcha cake." β
Then she looked at the fruit cart, which was divided into layers of typical tropical fruits: bananas, lychees, longans, mangosteens, rambutans, lotus mist and guava.
"A lychee and a guava."
The flight attendant opened the small glass window, took scissors to cut 10 lychees and 1 guava, then stuffed the guava into the ultrasonic cleaning machine, then took it out and cut it into four pieces, put it on a small cardboard box, and handed it to Wu Qingli.
Mitsui on the opposite side also asked for lychees and longan.
Wu Qingli, who sat back in her seat, handed the matcha cake to the cameraman and picked up a lychee herself.
"Did Ms. Wu notice the lychee situation just now?" Guan Hongzhi, who was also holding a box of lychees and a box of mangosteen on the other side, reminded pointedly.
After eating the lychee, Wu Qingli reminisced and said, "Lychee? Not bad! Very fresh. β
"Both mangosteen and lychee are very fresh, as if they have just been plucked from the branches, and they are very ripe." Guan Hongzhi explained.
"......" Wu Qingli looked at the lychee and guava in her hand, and forked a piece of guava with a toothpick, before she could enter the mouth, she smelled the strong fragrance of guava, and the moment she sent it to her mouth, she was very sure that this was a ripe guava on the tree.
Guava is a very special fruit, which can be basically divided into three stages, the expanding fruit stage, the green fruit stage, and the yellow fruit stage.
Among them, the puffed fruit is the process of fruit growth, and the fruit is hard and astringent during this period.
When the green fruit stage arrives, the fruit stops expanding, the flesh becomes puffy, begins to slowly fade away the astringency, and the softness and hardness are moderate, you can pick it up and sell it, and the vast majority of guavas on the market are fruits at this stage.
In the yellow fruit stage, the astringency of the fruit disappears completely, the heart of the fruit begins to produce a large number of flavor substances and sugars, and the flesh becomes softer and sweeter.
Whether it is red heart guava or white heart guava, it is the best to eat in the yellow fruit stage, but because the guava in the yellow fruit stage is not resistant to transportation, it is difficult for people outside the place of origin to eat naturally ripe guava.
After Wu Qingli ate a piece, she was a little unsatisfied: "This guava really seems to be ripe on a tree, and it is very similar to what I ate when I was a child." β
"It seems that in terms of preservation technology, Homo sapiens has developed a special technology." Guan Hongzhi guessed.
Actually, he guessed correctly.
Homo sapiens does apply some new technologies to fruit and vegetable preservation technology.
For example: plant life-sustaining fresh-keeping cabin, nano spray coating technology.
On the fruit trolley just now, there is the application of plant life-sustaining cabin technology.
This technology is to connect the fruits picked from the tree to a biological support device, and the core of this equipment is a genetically recombinant universal grafted plant tissue.
As long as the stems and branches of the fruit are retained, they can be directly inserted into the life-sustaining equipment to continue to maintain the vitality of the fruit.
In this way, even delicate fruits such as lychee and longan can extend the shelf life to about 15 days.
On the other hand, the application of this technology also allows fruit plantations to extend the harvest cycle while maintaining the flavor of the fruit.
Compared with the previous black brin plum and kiwifruit, this thing is not untasty, but in order to ensure transportation, it has to be picked before the fruit is fully ripe, and the customer does not know much about it, resulting in its taste indescribable.
Many fruits face this problem, and trade-offs must be made between transport resistance and flavor.
At present, Homo sapiens Kaida Agriculture is working hard to improve the contradiction between transportation resistance and fruit flavor.
For example, use special professional boxes, which are specially designed and must be reusable.
For another example, the use of a special nano spray to spray those vegetables and fruits with a relatively smooth surface can form a layer of nano coating, which can effectively extend the shelf life of 7~15 days under the protection of the coating.
And this nano-coating can be washed directly with water and decomposed into harmless ordinary natural ingredients.
Through the innovation of these technologies, the loss of vegetables and fruits in transportation and storage has been reduced by 92% and 97% respectively.
The internal rail network, which is already connected, further shortens the distance between the various origins and consumers.
This kind of improvement is the improvement of the whole system.
There are various benefits for production efficiency, production costs, and cost of sales.
It is manifested in the market, that is, consumers can buy cheaper, richer and more delicious vegetables and fruits.
The train quickly passed through southern Luzon, crossed Mindoro and Palawan, and finally arrived at Sandakan in Borneo.
Lilith got out of the car with a group of reporters.
From the underground station to the above-ground station.
Seeing the sun in the sky, Robert, Wu Qingli, Mitsui and others quickly determined the location of this place, which was Sandakan City in Borneo.
And Lilith will take them to the north side of the city to see another civilian technology application that will be announced soon.
