Chapter 467 Technology Crush-Reverse Harvesting

Umbrella's sudden announcement can be said to have directly shocked the world, and even made people feel incredible!

Theoretically speaking, plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water to form most of today's foods.

Whether you are meat-eating or vegetarian, you can use this as a source!

But just like the flagella of many bacteria can have a structure that is more efficient than an aircraft engine, humans themselves are still lacking in this aspect.

In theory, it can be achieved, and it is even possible to complete some operations in the laboratory, but when it comes to use and large-scale practicality, there is still a long way to go.

Moreover, what is currently driving the advancement of technology is ‘profit’.

Traditional grain merchants will suppress and resist similar new technologies. However, when various materials are abundant enough, there is no such urgency at present, and there is a lack of economic benefits.

The investment in this kind of experiment will also be relatively small.

After all, so what if the research is done?

Let’s not talk about whether there are any defects in artificial synthesis, let’s talk about people’s acceptance?

Can the taste exceed that of crops grown today?

Nowadays, the staple food is not just starch. Can it be completely simulated?

What's the cost?

Is it a loss or profit?

At least those who have the ability to research this will not have a food crisis, but those who have a food crisis cannot have the ability to research this. This is a contradiction in itself.

As a result, good guys, when South Korea just entered the stage of driving up food prices, they directly took out such a heavy thing?

It’s simply shocking!

Although there is currently relatively little investment in synthetic starch, it is not an imminent problem.

But the food problem has always been a serious problem for Blue Star.

Africa, South America and other places are still full of hunger.

Since Umbrella dares to speak like this, at this critical moment, it shouldn't be a small batch solution, but it can really be mass produced, right?

Umbrella has also officially released some parameters and generously produced schematics.

In essence, the 'principle' is very simple, the only difficulty is the implementation process.

"As for the combination of ordinary pure carbon dioxide and pure water, we have actually made a breakthrough a long time ago, but because of the difficulty of popularization, we have not announced it accordingly."

In the video of the demonstration, the projection of the Red Queen was also explained.

In fact, this thing is a very common ability that Wang Yi has in another world.

Food creation and water creation are not things that are formed out of thin air. Water creation is to extract moisture from the air, similar to a high-efficiency dehumidifier.

Food creation is the combination of carbon dioxide and water.

The original principle is simple and can be easily reproduced with the help of magic power. What needs to be changed is to use electrical energy to complete the conversion operation in this lazy environment.

So the first pure food-making machine had long since been gathering dust in Wang Yi's mage tower.

The next step was to take it out and leave it to Lin Shiqin and the hired research team to tinker with.

The direction of tinkering is to enable the instrument to filter out toxic pollutants such as sulfur and phosphorus at low cost, extending the life, productivity and controllability of the instrument.

To put it bluntly, they are various breakthrough elements for commercialization.

After all, first of all, food itself is not a very expensive thing, it is just in huge demand.

So it is obviously not advisable to burn coal or the like just for this thing.

The best approach is similar to binding thermal power stations.

Burning one ton of coal can produce two to three tons of carbon dioxide. If water is added, it is equivalent to burning one ton of coal to produce several tons of food.

It’s just that there are usually a lot of impurities in coal. For example, a large coal-producing country likes to import coal from abroad. It is because of the problem of impurities that the cost of processing is lower than that of imported coal.

Lin Shiqin cooperates with the research team to tackle this issue.

Now Umbrella's machines can directly attack thermal power stations, solving the problem of exhaust emissions while treating synthetic grains as by-products!

With the release of Umbrella's schematics and structural diagrams, there are also on-site demonstration models.

It can be said that the whole world was shocked!

Damn it!

It really solves the famine problem!

Now the grain can be regarded as ‘dug out’!

"In addition to the industrial mass production version, our company has also launched corresponding home versions and outdoor portable versions, which mainly absorb the carbon dioxide traveling in the air and operate with solar energy. However, the efficiency is slower and the machine cost is more expensive."

In fact, the production difficulty of this portable version is much lower than that of the mass-produced version.

Just like seawater desalination, it is not difficult for one person to tinker with a set of desalination equipment, but it is quite difficult to supply it to the entire city to complete the hydraulic construction.

"In addition, we also sell 'seasoning packs' that are matched based on nutrition. The artificial starch itself not only tastes bad, but is also nutritious. We have added various vitamins and minerals to the 'seasoning packs'.

Trace elements, as well as some proteins, can be mixed according to the proportion and can be consumed for a long time to maintain personal needs. At the same time, according to the different amounts of exercise, there are seven levels of different combinations from 'physical version' to 'weight loss version'. Each person can according to their daily needs.

To make a rough judgment based on the amount of exercise..."

Seeing Umbrella's serious introduction, everyone gradually understood that this was something Umbrella had prepared for a long time!

No wonder, no wonder it obviously has a huge influence on Pakistan, but it mainly wants some minerals, and the farm is only assigned some tasks of planting medicinal materials, but does not extend its hands to food.

Good guy, I'm going to kill the four major grain dealers with one punch!

In fact, the problem can be seen by looking at the nutritional powder packets Umbrella later proposed.

Although it seems that the synthesized thing is very simple, with this foundation, there are infinite possibilities.

From 0 to 1, the follow-up is pure improvement.

Just take the 'synthetic carbohydrate' produced by Umbrella and you can start the magic transformation.

This stuff doesn’t taste good, so why can’t it be made into feed for livestock?

How can you directly enter the feed industry without beating people up?

You must know that even though the nutritional package Umbrella took out at the back may look inconspicuous, it actually has a very high technical content.

This is much better than those single protein powders and the like.

Although these may require the use of other materials, they themselves are also destined to be threatening.

But no matter what the four major grain merchants and some relevant stakeholders think.

At least Umbrella's announcement is still a breakthrough that will benefit the future!

Once fully rolled out, it will really eliminate hunger as Umbrella itself said!

Take data as an example. The annual output of corn is about 1 billion tons, which is the staple food with the highest output. Rice is 700 million tons, wheat is 700 million tons, and soybeans are 300 million tons.

This looks like a huge number.

But the annual coal consumption is 8 billion tons!

Not to mention the conversion of all coal consumption, even if only one-tenth of the "waste gas" of coal consumption is utilized, the carbohydrates that can be synthesized far exceed the total global food production.

In fact, the total global food production is more than enough to feed everyone, but businessmen are just chasing profits.

After the four major grain merchants control the upstream and downstream grain industry chains, they are purely serving their interests.

For example, Pakistan finally eliminated hunger in the past. However, because the four major grain merchants controlled the cultivation of some high-economic crops for export, and in turn imported large and beautiful grains, they made a lot of money back and forth, but at the same time, Pakistan became a world-famous country.

The people in the granary don’t have enough to eat!

Food is essential and involves the core of survival.

It is something that can theoretically increase in price tenfold, hundredfold, or thousandfold in a short period of time.

Not to mention the large-scale disaster, just say that I was stuck on the highway and my chest was pressed against my back because of hunger. A guy next to me came over and sold a box of instant noodles for fifty. He would definitely pay without hesitation.

At this time, Southern Korea entered this kind of situation.

When chaebols control commodities, it is easy for ordinary people to have trouble eating.

But all this was solved by the machine launched by Umbrella!

It doesn’t matter if it tastes bad, as long as you can survive!

This is truly relying on technology to crush and defeat all methods with one force!

No matter how fancy and fierce your operations are, they will all be defeated with one force.

Although it will take time for Umbrella to arrive in South Korea.

But the problem is that South Korea itself is not really short of food, what is lacking is 'confidence'.

Now Umbrella’s official announcement is to make up for the ‘confidence’!

The urgent matter was immediately solved...
