47: Chapter 47: The Three-Element Food Synthesizer Officially Released

Time flies like a white horse passing a crevice; in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

July 1st was a special day.

On this day, Xia Country's news broadcast made a grand announcement of a major news story.

"Hello, everyone!"

"Welcome to today's news broadcast."

"I am your host, Zhang Hui."

"Today's news time has been extended from the usual half-hour to one hour. Please stay tuned for a special report on an important event!"

"The Ternary Food Synthesizer, independently developed by Xia Country's outstanding enterprise, Super God Group, was officially released today."

"Next, let's welcome the Chairman of Super God Group, Su Fan, to introduce the Ternary Food Synthesizer."

The news broadcast screen shifted, and Su Fan's handsome face appeared on the camera.

At this moment, he was in the factory building of the Ternary Food Synthesizer.

"Hello, everyone!"

"I am Su Fan."

"Many of you know me, and many don't, but that's not important. What you need to get to know next is—"

"What you need to get to know is the miraculous machine behind me."

"The Ternary Food Synthesizer!"

"Why is it called the Ternary Food Synthesizer?"

"It's simple: it has three discharge ports, and these three ports will spit out three major categories of different foods."

"Namely, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats."

"Anyone who has attended middle school knows that these are..."

"Next, I will demonstrate it for everyone..."

"Alright, that concludes the introduction and actual demonstration of the Ternary Food Synthesizer. Goodbye, everyone."

Su Fan spent nearly half an hour explaining and demonstrating the functions of the Ternary Food Synthesizer.

The news broadcast screen returned to the studio.

"Starting August 1st, the Xia Country authorities will distribute basic survival supplies to every citizen of Xia Country."

"The specific supplies are: one catty of synthetic carbohydrates, one catty of synthetic proteins, and half a catty of synthetic fats per person per day."

"For more specific supply combinations, you can download and log into the Super God Logistics app to make your selection."

"Super God Logistics, a subsidiary of Super God Group, will provide the exclusive delivery service."

...

July 1, 2025—a day that was already a special holiday—now had an added layer of significance!

The news broadcast ended, but the entirety of Xia Country and the whole world were shaken by Xia Country's move!

"In my lifetime, I can't believe I've encountered such a great era! Being supported by the state without doing anything—I'm moved!"

"I was originally anxious because of unemployment, but now that the state is giving out food for free, I'm suddenly not anxious anymore. At worst, I'll just live off the food the state provides; anyway, I won't starve to death!"

"I lost my job during the three-year pandemic, and after finally finding a job selling real estate, I hit the real estate bubble and was unemployed again! I finally found another job in foreign trade sales, only to lose it again because of Eagle Nation's sanctions! My house was repossessed by the bank because I couldn't pay the mortgage, my wife ran away, and my parents are elderly. If it weren't for taking care of my parents, I would have jumped off a building long ago! Now that the state is giving out food for free, I suddenly feel a sense of relief—at least I don't have to worry about starving! Thank you, Motherland! Thank you, Super God Group! Thank you, Su Fan!"

"Thank you, Motherland! Thank you, Super God Group! I'm not as miserable as the person above; I'm just unemployed at home, can't find a job, and have no savings, so I can only live on steamed buns and pickles. In these hard times, the state has shown me the light! Thank you, my great Motherland!"

"Thank you, Motherland! Thank you, Su Fan! Years ago, for the sake of a few silver coins, I abandoned my dreams. Now that the state is giving out food for free, I think I should pick up my lost dreams again!"

"Me too. I took a job I didn't like just to put food on the table and support my family. Now that the state is providing free food, I'm going to reclaim my dreams as well!"

"I want to lie flat. Going to work is too exhausting. Now that I don't have to worry about eating, and I have a homestead and two acres of land back home, I want to return to the countryside and live a life of 'picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains.'"

"I envy the person above. I still have a mortgage to pay. Although the state has solved my food problem, I still have to find a job, otherwise, the bank will take my house. This is the house my parents spent half their lives struggling to save for just to help me with the down payment!"

"Don't worry, person above. Super God Logistics has already posted recruitment notices across the internet. You can go give it a try!"

"I just checked. Priority is given to those who urgently need money, such as those with mortgages, car loans, minor children, or elderly and sick family members. I'm not in a hurry; I'm thinking of taking a break first."

"Same here, not in a hurry. If one person eats their fill, the whole family isn't hungry!"

"The state is giving free food to people, but what about livestock? My calves are hungry and crying for food every day."

"Use your brain, person above. The state giving synthetic food to all citizens is equivalent to doubling the total food supply. The grain that was originally meant for people can now be given entirely to livestock, or you can just give the synthetic food to the livestock and have the people eat the grain!"

"The analysis above makes sense. Thumbs up!"

"What about the farmers who grow the grain? I'm so worried their crops won't sell!"

"You're overthinking it. In the future, natural grain, meat, and plant/animal oils will actually become more expensive and gradually become high-end foods!"

"Agreed!"

"Is anyone signing up for Super God Logistics? I heard the pay and benefits are very high!"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

"Not going. Lying flat!"

...

While the domestic citizens were engaged in heated discussions, people abroad were already driven mad with jealousy.

"Why can that ancient Eastern power give out free food and support its entire population? Our free Eagle Nation can't do that!"

"Protest! Protest!"

"Biden, step down! Go back to your hometown!"

"The Xia Country authorities are fooling the people again. Don't believe it. Our Great South Korea is the most powerful!"

"Xia Country is too much of a threat; we must not let her recover!"

"Haven't you noticed the key point? Su Fan, the founder of Xia Country's Super God Group, is the real threat!"

"I suggest sanctioning Super God Group!"

"Sanctions? Do you have bubbles in your brain? All of Super God Group's business is within Xia Country!"

"Su Fan is from Great South Korea; we have evidence in our history books!"

"I suggest recruiting Su Fan. If he's unwilling, take him out!"

...

Inside the Black Palace, Biden of the Eagle Nation had already smashed his third cup.

"Fuck! Fuck you!"

"Damn Xia Country! Damn Super God Group! Damn Su Fan!"

"Immediately activate the secret agents hidden in Xia Country and bring Su Fan to me!"

"If you can't capture him, find a way to eliminate him!"

"We absolutely cannot let him continue!"

"Super God Battery, Controlled Nuclear Fusion, Ternary Food Synthesizer—with all these incredibly powerful technologies exploding in such a short time, Su Fan definitely has a major problem!"

"Sir, you know Xia Country's security measures. Never mind capturing an important figure, even assassinating one is difficult," the head of the Secret Service Department sighed.

"It's difficult during peaceful times, but once things get chaotic, there's a great chance to fish in troubled waters."

"Contact other countries for me. It's time for the Eagle Nation's Navy to get moving!"
