41: Chapter 41 Quantum Technology, The First Ternary Food Synthesizer
Returning home, Su Fan took a quick wash and lay on his bed, opening the interface of the super god black technology system.
After a brief search, he quickly found Quantum Supercomputer Technology, Quantum Communication Technology, Miniature Quantum Communicator Technology, and Quantum Compatibility Technology.
A Quantum Supercomputer was not for personal use, but rather a large-scale supercomputing center.
Quantum Communication was a quantum encrypted communication technology based on quantum computers.
A Miniature Quantum Communicator was similar to a mobile phone, with functionality equivalent to a combination of a phone and a computer.
It could perform text, voice, and video communication via Quantum Communication Technology, connect to a Quantum Supercomputer to remotely utilize its computing power, and also install software for gaming or office work.
As for Quantum Compatibility Technology, it was also quite easy to understand; currently, people in the Xia Nation used traditional silicon-based chip phones, and it was impossible to replace them all with quantum communicators immediately.
Quantum Compatibility Technology allowed ordinary phones and computers to access the quantum relay network through standard networks, and then access the Quantum Supercomputer through the quantum relay network.
Each of the four technologies cost 99,999 influence points, which was a mere pittance for Su Fan.
He decisively redeemed them and then began to extract them one by one.
The Eagle Nation's sanctions against the Xia Nation generally fell into three categories: first, food; second, chips; and third, basic mineral resources.
Su Fan's response was: the Ternary Food Synthesizer would solve the food problem, the Quantum Supercomputer series of technologies would solve the chip problem, and the kunpeng no. 1 spaceship would solve the mineral resource problem.
Once all three problems were solved, the Xia Nation would become the sole hegemon of the Blue Star, and by then, the Eagle Nation...
Heh, they wouldn't even be worth worrying about!
In the blink of an eye, over ten days passed. During this time, besides helping two leaders in the capital inject gene optimization fluid, Su Fan also researched the key materials for the spaceship's anti-gravity engine.
On the morning of May 15th.
Today was a special day with two important events.
First, Zhou Xiaoxiao would lead the Super God Group's HR team to major universities across the country to recruit talent and absorb fresh blood for the Super God Group.
Second, the first Ternary Food Synthesizer was successfully manufactured, and its power was so immense that it directly stunned the personnel involved in its research and development.
At this moment, Su Fan was in a newly built factory building at the Nanshan Base.
"So this is the Ternary Food Synthesizer!" Su Fan remarked with emotion as he walked around a massive machine.
It was a cube-like machine, ten meters in length, width, and height. On three of the four vertical sides, there was a large discharge port each, while the remaining side featured a control console and a waste outlet.
On the top surface, there were two feeding ports, one thick and one thin.
The thin one automatically absorbed gaseous materials, while the thick one could accept solid and liquid materials.
"Come on, put some materials in, I want to see the results." Su Fan said expectantly, gesturing for several graduate students to begin loading the materials.
The graduate students casually operated the machinery to take several pieces of rotten wood from a nearby warehouse and throw them into the feeding port, then picked up several buckets of water and poured them in as well.
Then, a graduate student tapped a few times on the control console, and the Ternary Food Synthesizer instantly let out a roar.
In just over ten seconds, the discharge port labeled 'Carbohydrates' spat out a crystal-clear object about one meter square.
Su Fan stepped forward quickly to take a closer look.
He knew what it was, but seeing it truly appear before his eyes—seeing was believing—he was still somewhat shocked.
A nearby professor picked up a pointed hammer and struck the crystal-clear cube with force.
"Crack!"
A corner of the cube was shattered.
The professor reached out, picked up a thumb-sized fragment from the broken corner, threw it directly into his mouth, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
"Chairman Su, it's really sweet!" the professor said, smacking his lips.
As he spoke, he picked up a few more fragments and handed them to Su Fan.
Su Fan took the fragments, examined them carefully, and then popped one into his mouth.
"Mmm!"
"Sweet!"
He felt a heartfelt admiration for the person who invented this machine; it was hard to imagine, but this was a piece of rock sugar!
To be able to produce such a large block of rock sugar so quickly just by putting in rotten wood and water was truly incredible.
Next, Su Fan tried it himself, testing white sugar, brown sugar, maltose, ordinary starch, wheat flour-flavored starch, and rice-flavored starch in succession.
He then tested the protein output; he saw with his own eyes large chunks of lean meat rolling out of the protein discharge port, and streams of milk-like liquid spraying from the outlet.
The fat discharge port was equally miraculous, producing solid animal-like fats as well as liquid plant-like oils, with various types adjustable at will.
Su Fan was having a great time.
In fact, the Xia Nation currently possessed technology to synthesize starch from carbon dioxide, but the technology was immature, highly energy-intensive, and had low yields, existing only in laboratory production and unable to achieve large-scale industrial production.
The Ternary Food Synthesizer, however, not only had low energy consumption but also high yields. Crucially, the variety of synthesized substances was comprehensive; a single machine could completely sustain a large group of people.
"What is the specific output of this machine?" Su Fan asked the professor beside him with a smile.
"Given an ample supply of materials and power, it can synthesize 10 tons of food per minute, which is 14,400 tons of food per day," the professor said with emotion.
"14,400 tons a day, that's over 5 million tons a year."
"According to official data, the people of the Xia Nation consume over 700,000 tons of grain, 98,000 tons of oil, 1.92 million tons of vegetables, and 230,000 tons of meat every single day."
"Doing some simple addition, excluding vegetables and only counting grain, meat, and oil, the people of the Xia Nation eat roughly 1 million tons of food every day."
"That's 365 million tons of food a year."
"If you add fruit and other things, it would be even more," Su Fan said while calculating.
"The 5 million tons of food produced by one Ternary Food Synthesizer in a year can satisfy the basic rations of the Xia Nation's 1.4 billion people for five days."
"We only need to manufacture 100 units to completely satisfy the survival needs of the entire Xia Nation." Su Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
(Big Handsome Author: Don't flame me, please be kind, my math is terrible!)
"That's how we'll do it!" Su Fan said, becoming more excited.
"You all continue testing; you must ensure the stability of the machine."
After speaking, Su Fan turned and left; he needed to inform the higher-ups of this good news.
...
Ten-odd days had passed since the Eagle Nation sanctioned the Xia Nation, and the entire Xia Nation's livestock industry, manufacturing, foreign trade enterprises, and upstream and downstream chip companies had all been hit to varying degrees.
High-level officials were swamped every day; on one hand, they had to wrestle with the power bloc led by the Eagle Nation, and on the other, they had to appease the domestic populace. They were truly exhausted.
"The Eagle Nation, disregarding the demands of its own people, has resolutely launched a trade war that harms others while hurting itself. This is a disregard for the lives of its own citizens and a trampling of national liberalism!"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson had just finished speaking and was walking toward his office with a frown. As he passed the Minister's office, he actually heard the Minister's surprised and joyful laughter!
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Well done, Su Fan!"
