142: From now on, whatever you want to eat, just print it out at home!

The fervent gazes of all the big shots, which had just become wild with the temptation of “turning stone into gold,” instantly cooled.

They had to face an ultimate problem that was even more serious and profound than “controlled nuclear fusion” and “gene life extension”:

The ultimate problem!

The inevitable collapse of production relations

that would follow the productivity revolution!

If 90% of the factories worldwide closed down!

And 90% of the workers lost their jobs!

Then the entire human society would completely fall into an unprecedented great

turmoil!

This was a civilization crisis even more terrifying than war or plague!

A civilization crisis!

A big shot in charge of social security slowly stood up.

His face, which had always been full of confidence, was now filled with solemnity.

“I believe that before we find a perfect solution,”

“This technology must not be easily disclosed!”

“Exactly! I agree!” Another big shot in charge of economics echoed, “This is simply opening Pandora’s box!”

“Once, it’s not handled well!”

“What awaits us will not be some utopia!”

“But a hell on earth, full of chaos and destruction!”

“Hell on earth!”

For a moment!

Meeting Room No. 1 was filled with deep

worry for the future!

“Ahem.”

He slowly picked up the internal communication phone, his wise eyes full of inquiry.

“Comrade Lu Chen.”

“What are your thoughts?”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

So long that everyone thought Lu Chen wouldn't answer.

Then Lu Chen’s calm yet philosophically profound voice slowly rang out.

“Leaders.”

“You, once again.”

“Have fallen into a misconception.”

“Huh?” Everyone’s eyes focused on the communicator!

“Who told you”

Lu Chen’s voice carried a faint smile.

“That I intend to use this technology in the ‘industrial’ field?”

“What?!” All the big shots were stunned!

Not to be used in the industrial field?

Then where will it be used?!

Do you still want to use it to conjure gold out of thin air?!

“My first goal is very simple.”

On the other end of the phone, Lu Chen’s lips curved into a meaningful arc.

“I want to first solve the most basic and important problem for the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in our Xia Nation.”

“That is”

“Eating!”

That evening.

In Lu Chen’s small living room, filled with the scent of “home.”

The lights were bright.

But the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Father Lu Jianguo and Mother Zhang Hui were looking nervously and expectantly at a silver-white square box, full of futuristic technology, that Lu Chen had personally installed in the kitchen.

A square box.

That was the world’s first household material printer, rushed out overnight by the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base!

Material printer!

“My, my son…”

Zhang Hui looked at the square box, not much bigger than a microwave oven, her voice trembling!

“Are you sure this thing can really conjure food?”

“Of course.”

Lu Chen smiled and patted the casing of the square box with a confident look.

“Mom, just watch.”

He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the sci-fi holographic touch screen on the square box.

The next second!

A soft female voice instantly rang out!

“Chef God No. 1, at your service.”

“What would you like to eat?”

At the same time, a dazzling menu appeared on the screen, enough to make any food lover go crazy!

A menu!

From the simplest home-cooked stir-fries!

To the most complex national banquet dishes!

From the Manchu Han Imperial Feast of the East!

To Michelin three-star cuisine of the West!

Everything was available!

Even those ancient imperial court dishes that had long been lost!

Were clearly listed!

“Oh, my heavens!”

Zhang Hui looked at the dense, tens of thousands of dish names, her eyes almost popping out!

She felt that all the dishes she had seen in her entire life combined were not as many as she saw today!

“Mom and Dad, don’t be shy.”

Lu Chen smiled and made a “please” gesture.

“Order whatever you want.”

“My treat.”

“Then, then I won’t be polite!”

Lu Jianguo rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement like an old child who had received a new toy!

He pointed to the legendary top-tier famous dish on the menu that he had only seen on TV!

His voice was trembling!

“I want to try this!”

“Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!”

“No problem.”

Lu Chen smiled and lightly tapped the screen.

“Command received.”

“Printing ‘Imperial Kitchen’ Special Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for you.”

“Estimated time: three minutes.”

“Buzz—”

A faint buzzing sound rang out!

The silver-white square box instantly lit up with a pale blue light full of vitality!

An invisible, powerful and terrifying energy field, capable of reorganizing matter!

Instantly enveloped the entire kitchen!

Lu Jianguo and Zhang Hui were both as if frozen by a spell!

Staring blankly at this scene, which could only be described as a “miracle”!

Their minds were blank!

They saw it!

They saw with their own eyes!

In that pale blue light!

One by one, top-grade sea cucumbers!

Plump abalone pieces!

Golden shark fin slices!

All those delicacies they would never bear to eat in their lifetime!

Actually appeared out of thin air!

Then, enveloped by that invisible energy field, they rapidly gathered and fused!

Finally, in less than three minutes!

It transformed into a steaming, fragrant, top-grade Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, enough to make even immortals drool!

“Gulp.”

Lu Jianguo swallowed hard, looking at this “magical” scene before him!

His cloudy old eyes were filled with subversive shock!

He knew!

From today onwards!

Their kitchen

No!

The kitchens of the entire world

Would be completely revolutionized!

And at this moment.

In the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

Before the light screen, the “family gourmet” live broadcast, transmitted in real-time by heavenly craft.

His face showed no ripples.

As if the “material printer,” which could make the whole world go crazy, was just an interesting kitchen

appliance to him.

Appliance.

“Aren’t you worried at all?”

Long Weiguo’s voice was filled with solemnity, “Worried that once this technology becomes widespread,”

“It will completely destroy our entire nation’s agricultural system!”

“Destroy?”

“No, Weiguo, you’re wrong. This isn’t destruction, this is rebirth.”
