In fact, although in the eyes of Chu Junhao and Wang Junling, Chen Nian seems to be a serious, heroic, and mysterious character, but he really doesn't think it's that exaggerated.

The life of study and research is indeed hard, but it does not mean that he has not left any time for himself to rest.

There is still entertainment, but his entertainment is not quite in line with "indulgence" in the secular sense.

I didn't buy a car, I didn't buy a house, I didn't spend a lot, and I didn't have a club.

It's not that he doesn't have worldly desires at all, it's just because. He has just too much.

In fact, since the end of Project 22, the resources he can mobilize have reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

Needless to say, this thing is really just a number for him, and if necessary, he may even have billions or tens of billions more in his account out of thin air.

As for those indulgences that others dream of?

The general fun really can't get into his eyes.

If he really wants it, he will be willful, let alone go to Zhuang Yan like Luo Ji, even if he says that he wants to find a cat ear and white hair, maybe the official will have to grit his teeth and do it for him.

But it's not really interesting.

It's really interesting to build your own idea with your own hands, and then watch it come to fruition little by little.

The latter is what Chen Nian is doing through learning and then with the help of the system, while the former is his entertainment.

In the many nights after obtaining the system, Chen Nian built a set of technological development paths little by little, and there were the most advanced civil and military technologies on this path, including quantum communication, chip technology, giant controllable nuclear fusion, combat mech, aerospace carrier, water droplet, and Zhizi

And so on and so forth.

But many times, he still feels that his imagination is a little lacking.

After all, having a system in hand means that as long as you can think of it, as long as you have enough source points, you can make it in reality sooner or later.

Therefore, there are actually only two things left that restrict the upper limit of civilization development:

their own life, and their own imagination.

There was no way to solve the lifespan thing for the time being, so Chen Nian put his mind on imagination first.

In this way, his greatest entertainment has been determined.

That is:

Water forums and websites squeeze the imagination of netizens and use their brains to work for themselves.

This kind of entertainment is really healthy and fun, but it does in the eyes of others. It's a little cramped.

Chen Guo has said more than once that he should put down the computer and go out for a walk, where he wants to travel, and what he wants to do, the above can be arranged.

But Chen Nian was completely unmoved.

Are you kidding!

You're bored because even if you watch it, it's just for fun, but I can really make it happen!

Essentially, it's no different from a girl who loves to go to the mall.

They looked at shoes, clothes, luxury bags, and they looked at the railgun Death Star Destroyer.

The two have a striking thing in common:

I can't afford it, so I can only take a look at it first and enjoy it

On this day, Chen Nian finished his 12-hour study and research and returned to his small residence.

He turned on the computer as usual, intending to see what other ideas netizens had contributed.

The post on the forum "If you exchanged a lifetime of singleness for a science fiction item, what would you choose" is still active, and it has only been 20 hours since Chen Nian last refreshed, but more than a dozen new dry goods posts have been swiped out.

Chen Nian immediately became interested, he quickly clicked into the posts and read the replies one by one.

In recent years, the forum is still in a very primitive state, and there are no pictures, let alone uploading videos, so everyone's replies are basically typed out word by word.

Although the text is thin, many times, what is revealed in these words is not so simple.

"LZNB, I can't think of this kind of problem, I don't have high requirements, give me a cultivation warehouse, I can make a clone, who wants a wife if you have this thing?"

"LSSB, it's all said that you're single, isn't it a loophole to clone people? Why don't you have a wife in your head, don't keep pretending to be men and women, and let me say, if you can really change anything, give me a Dyson ball."

"And what about Dyson balls? Isn't there enough greed? If I can really change it, I want to change it to a quantum chip, which is at least reliable. ”

After reading several articles in a row, Chen Nian didn't find anything interesting, and everyone spoke in a regular manner these days, and there was no atmosphere of fun people on the post bar later, which was really the same as chewing wax.

This made Chen Nian a little disappointed, it seems that today's trip to the mall is going to end early.

However, just as I pressed F5 to refresh at the end, a reply of astonishing length suddenly swiped out.

"The ideas upstairs are all good, but a little too fanciful, and even a lot of them are pure fantasies that have proven unviable, which is not in line with the 'science fiction items' that LZ said."

"Science fiction science fiction, it must be scientific fantasy, it must have a certain basis, otherwise science fiction will become fantasy and fantasy?"

"Xiaosheng is not talented, I have read so many people's replies, but I am a little humble opinion, and I will tell you about it."

"I think the problem we are facing is essentially a problem of resources."

"And the problem of resources, in the final analysis, has to return to the problem of food."

"So when it comes to food, most of the staple food of our Chinese people is actually starch, and what is starch? Carbohydrates. ”

"At this point, you should be able to guess what I'm going to say."

"Carbs! Carbon! Ah, water! ”

"Isn't that exactly the same composition as carbon dioxide + water? So if there is something that can be used as a catalyst to directly reduce carbon dioxide to starch, our food problem will soon be completely solved? ”

A large number of replies quickly swiped below this post, most of which were mocking the whimsical of the layer master, and some people gave him the concept of popular science energy conversion ratio, as if this was purely an unrealistic idea that a citizen science came up with with his own barren knowledge.

But Chen Nian is different.

His heart was beating wildly when he saw it.

the groove.

This brother actually predicted the scientific and technological achievements twenty years later!

The use of carbon dioxide to make starch was actually a reality in the era he traveled back to, and judging from the experimental results, the energy conversion ratio of this preparation process is extremely amazing!

Normally, the process of making starch from carbon dioxide is first to produce hydrogen by hydrolysis with electric energy, and then the carbon dioxide is reduced to methanol through a catalyst using hydrogen.

In this process, the electrical energy is converted into the chemical energy stored in methanol, and its energy conversion rate is more than 10%, which is far more than the energy utilization efficiency of photosynthesis!

Then, the most critical part arrived.

We need the right enzymatic catalyst to convert methanol to starch.

It took Huaxia's scientific research team seven years to find this catalyst, and it is a less efficient version.

——

But the point is, it works!

Moreover, there is only one core technical difficulty!

That's how to find the right catalytic enzyme recipe from the vast array of random options!

This process is difficult, it is like alchemy, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that no matter how much manpower and resources are invested, it will not be possible to find it.

But the problem is that randomness does not exist for Chen Nian

Chen Nian immediately became excited, and he immediately wrote a few big characters on the paper.

"Efficient catalytic enzymes used to convert methanol to starch".

Then, he mobilized the system and scanned the entry in front of him.

[Analysis requirements: 1.5 source points]

？？？

Chen Nian bounced straight out of the chair.

This thing only needs 1.5 source points?? How simple is its chemical formula?!

Before he had time to think about it, Chen Nian almost shouted out the words "Analyze immediately" in a roaring manner, and then, after a short period of calm, a series of information streams poured into his brain.

At this time, he realized that the chemical formula of this catalytic enzyme is really not too complicated

Therefore, the energy and time of the previous research team were indeed spent on alchemy.

——

However, in any case, if you get the formula, it means that there is an additional way out of the food security problem.

If we continue to develop, as long as there is enough electricity, there will be enough food!
