Diet has always been an important culture inherited from the birth of human culture. In many cases, diet is not only a means of subsistence, but also a kind of spiritual and emotional self-satisfaction. Kelan feels that even if he can cultivate the truth like those who practice to "break the valley" in Xiu Xian’s novels, it is difficult for him to refuse the pleasure brought by eating-full and juicy meat pieces are chewed and squeezed to spurt out delicious juice, vegetables and fruits with various tastes and tastes, and various staple foods … even if he eats hundreds of synthetic seasonings.
Even just chewing and swallowing can bring pleasure and satisfaction to human brain.
The "canned food production line" in front of them adopts the semi-manual operation mode. Four huge "capping machines" stand against the wall and spread a lot of cutting scraps. The surface is densely covered with holes with the same diameter as the cans. Ke Lan just glanced at it and understood that this simple operation of the "capping machine" makes the canned food be put into the middle slot, and then the tin can is covered with a pull rod ring blade to cut the cover. At the same time, the welding torch on the side of the blade will instantly fit the cover and the can.
From the perspective of a person who lives in the Ark of the Earth, this sealing method is really backward.
Let’s not say that sealing cans in this non-bacterial environment will seal gas, bacteria and dust in the hands of machine operators into cans. Simply saying that efficiency is enough to eliminate these equipment.
According to Kelan, a mechanized assembly line in the canned food production line of SOMA consortium flag "Weijia Synthetic Meat Company" can produce 150,000 cans less, which is almost one every 1.5 seconds.
This assembly line includes the whole process of making synthetic meat, from mixing raw materials, stirring and coagulating, seasoning, cooking, disinfection, filling and sealing. Except that canned food needs to be shipped from other places, the manager of the automatic production line has to sit in a high glass room and glance at the brain screen from time to time.
And this "canned food production line" in the nest is considered as the highest output if it can make two or three thousand cans a day according to the conservative estimate of Kelan … It is a drop in the bucket to calculate this canned output according to the population of one floor.
I think canned food should also be considered a "luxury" for the residents of the first floor of the nest.
The best solution to feed so many mouths is protein block and synthetic starch. The former is all kinds of biological waste, and the latter is pure chemical synthetic preparation after the decomposition of cultured cockroaches. In Kelan’s eyes, these two things can’t even be regarded as "food to satisfy hunger and replenish energy"-but for the manager of this nest, the taste and taste of food are very important, and the most important thing is not to let people in the nest starve to death.
"It’s a pity that they are all canned." Thirty-three picked up a can and looked at it carefully. "If we can find a batch of canned goods that are intact, we may know what these guys are eating."
"After such a long time, even if there is something left in the can, it is estimated that it is difficult for us to distinguish the Chinese ingredients without the help of the ark equipment." Kelan said, "Zeluo may be able to do it, but it is urgent to decode those words now. I don’t want him to slow down the decoding progress."
"This can-"Thirty-three fingernails bounced and covered with a thick layer of oxide. "The material seems to be an aluminum alloy."
"aluminum?"
The most common material of canned earth metal is tinplate, that is, tin-plated iron is second to aluminum, but aluminum can of Ark is hardly-aluminum is a very important industrial material, so many aluminum raw materials will appear in daily life because of the large amount of aluminum in the earth, but Alpha Star aluminum mine is not only scarce but also very poor, and only a little aluminum has been taken to more important places, and the value of aluminum has risen with the tide … It is a bit extravagant to use aluminum to make cans in the old era.
The saying that things are scarce and expensive is an irrefutable truth … Judging from the amount of aluminum in Alpha Star, this stuff can be equated with precious metals such as gold.
"I also feel strange that Alpha’s aluminum resources are so scarce that they should be used to make cans," said Thirty-three. "It always makes people feel … very rough."
"Wait a minute," Kelan suddenly said. Then he walked around the four "capping machines" several times and looked at all the corners of the four devices. Then he turned his head to thirty-three. "I think these cans may not be for food, but we entered the house first … When we see this kind of" can head "consciousness, we will feel that there is a high probability that we can eat inside."
"What makes you think so?"
"These four equipments are too clean," said Kelan, pointing to the machines that are covered with a layer of dust and some steel parts are rusted, but there is no accumulation of stains. "If this is a can packaging machine, there will definitely be something spilled on the machine for a long time in this way, such as corners and grooves, which will certainly accumulate stains like mud. Even if it is scrubbed every day, it is impossible to avoid that microbes will eat those stains clean even after tens of thousands of years, but there will always be some machine residues left in these grooves …
Modern automatic food processing vehicles can be made clean and tidy as new, but this canned food production line is just a manual workshop. Since it is operated by people, there will definitely be mistakes. If you shake your hand, the contents in the canned food will not spill on the surface of the equipment, compared with those robotic arms whose dynamic accuracy can be as accurate as millimeters.
Unless these equipment workers are made to have brains comparable to supercomputers and body control abilities comparable to high-end robots … but if they really have this ability, how can they put this backward workshop into use?
"There seems to be words on the side of the canned Koran."
Thirty-three took out a Nino alloy dagger, cut a can along the side, and then spread the whole side flat. Koran saw a line of small print at the bottom of the side that was easily overlooked.
This line is carved out, but it is too shallow to be found from the external root of the can … It is reasonable to say that neither the production information nor the production serial number should be engraved in such a difficult-to-find position.
"It’s that kind of writing," said Thirty-three. "Look at this character and this, this and this. They are all the same as some characters in the sentence we just saw on the edge of the lifting platform. This is the same language."
"That seems to have to wait for ze no …"
As soon as Koran’s voice fell on his living armor, he was already in vitro transformed into a girl with a stunning face but no expression.
"Decoding is complete" Zeluo blinked and cast a thick shadow on the side of long eyelashes and eyelids. "That sentence is to the effect that people with grade’ 4′ are forbidden to enter the Chaodu City. This regulation was promulgated in the fourth year of the Glacier Age and will take effect immediately."
"Chaodu City?" Thirty-three repeated "refers to the third floor? It seems that this city should be the so-called’ aristocratic area’. This place is really hierarchical. "
"No, I’m more interested in going back to the’ Ice Age’ … Does this mean that Alpha once appeared in a period similar to the ice age of the earth, and this nest was built to avoid the extreme cold on the surface?"
