Ch33 – The Tour of the Academy of Sciences – Side B

He Yun Yi took Ruan Tang down to the R&D area.

The R&D area was the largest area in the Academy of Sciences and consisted of dozens of large laboratories, each with its own assignment. For example, the first laboratory was mainly responsible for the research and development and transformation of new weapons. The second laboratory was responsible for the development and upgrading of artificial intelligence and robots. The third laboratory was responsible for ancient earth culture and history research, and the fourth laboratory was specialized research. Responsible for the recovery of natural ingredients was the fifth laboratory … In short, each department had its own role. The division of labor was quite clear.

He Yun Yi wanted to take Ruan Tang on a tour of the fourth laboratory. There, there were many ingredients being restored or awaiting testing. Maybe Ruan Tang’s wonderful and curious way of thinking could provide them with some enlightenment. Other laboratories involved the secrets of the empire and required certain permissions to enter, so it was not suitable to take him there.

As soon as Ruan Tang entered the fourth laboratory, he saw a book sealed in a transparent container. The cover of the book was broken and the paper inside was yellow and wrinkled. It looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time. But Ruan Tang could still recognized the body of the book with a single glance– Cihai.

He Yunyi noticed his gaze and considerately explained, “This is the only complete book saved from the ruins from the chaos of the war and it is also the cornerstone that enabled the continuation of our human civilization.”

Thousands of years ago, human bases were hit by devastating aliens. Electromagnetic pulse weapons caused all human computer systems and information devices to fail, and a large amount of precious materials went missing. When humans fled the Earth, the paper materials they carried were very limited. After the war, the information that was preserved was even more pitiful.

The Academy of Sciences used today’s gene technology to restore the plant seeds and animals that their human ancestors from thousands of years ago had stored in the underground freezer. Restoring them had been easy, the difficulty lay in distinguishing between these species. After all, not all plants and animals were edible ingredients. Therefore, they could only try to restore while simultaneously doing research. It was awfully inefficient.

Fortunately, in recent years, the empire had made breakthroughs in space jumps, and an expedition team risked going back to the devastated Earth.

The Earth’s magnetic field had completely changed. The ozone layer was completely broken, and there was no life at all. However, many of the inanimate objects had been retained and brought back by the expedition team. This allowed their research to have a breakthrough and they gained a qualitative leap in the speed of restoring ingredients.

In order to speed up the research, the fourth laboratory was divided into a number of groups, each of which had different research directions.

Specializing in plant research, specializing in small animals, specializing in large animals, and specializing in water-related animals and plants…

Each group occupied a separate layer in the building of the fourth laboratory. He Yunyi first took Ruan Tang to the second floor. “This is the first group’s domain, mainly researching various types of plants.”

Entering the second floor, Ruan Tang felt like he was entering a tropical rainforest. Anywhere his eyes lay on was full of verdant green. Fruit trees, flowers and even vegetables were neatly placed in transparent containers. One by one, the researchers recorded the moisture content, nutrients, temperature, humidity and growth habits. At the same time, they were conducting sampling analysis on the mature plants. It was all very methodically arranged.

Ruan Tang: “…”

Newton was probably rolling in his grave.

At this time, Ruan Tang saw a cluster of jagged green plants in a transparent container with a few knuckle-sized red fruits on it. It looked extra tempting.

“Oh? Do you like it?” He Yun Yi asked with a smile. “This is the latest ingredient we have restored. It should be called strawberry. After passing the safety monitoring, I will give you some to have a taste.”

“That’s very kind of you.” Ruan Tang didn’t refuse. He liked sweet and tart tasting things like strawberries.

They then went on to the second group, which was responsible for the reproduction of small animals.

They used advanced gene technology to grow cells into embryos. It was then cultivated slowly. All the while, the researchers were recording their sizes, growth trajectories, living habits, feeding methods, mating and reproduction methods, and whether or not they were edible. Of course, because any meat was basically edible, in most cases they could only be classified according to the breeding difficulty and appearance of the animals.

In the corner of the room, there was also a specially-designed area with several reed chickens and a simply-built chicken coop.

Ruan Tang saw several researchers kneeling beside the chicken coop, glaring at several brooding hens like tigers eyeing their prey while clutching their notes and muttering under their breaths. It was a scene that could cause people to choke.

At this time, Ruan Tang noticed that there were three small milk cats in a transparent container. One had fur that was light orange, one was gray, and the other was pure white. It should have just been born recently. The kittens hadn’t even opened their eyes, and they could only mewl softly. It looked so cute that it made Ruan Tang stop in his tracks.

“You like?” He Yun Yi asked with a smile.

“Well, but this shouldn’t be for eating…” Ruan Tang was afraid that the other with continue with ‘I’ll send you one to eat’ so he quickly rushed to say something.

“I know that you can’t eat it. This animal is called a cat. It’s the pet ancient Earth people liked rearing the most. It looks really cute. If it is successfully cultivated, it promises to be very marketable. If you like it, I will send you one later.”

Ruan Tang was immediately surprised: “Really? Thank you, Big Brother He!”

The third group was responsible for the restoration of large animals. It was much more complicated to breed than small animals, and the cycle would be relatively longer. In addition to pigs, sheep and cows that have already been restored, Ruan Tang also saw deer and horses being cultivated.

The fourth group was responsible for the restoration of aquatic plants and animals, so there were water tanks everywhere. It looked like an aquarium. Seeing a lot of fish and shellfish labeled for testing, Ruan Tang felt that the day when he would be blessed with good meals was not far behind.

The R&D group would first finish conducting a series of tests and they have confirmed that the new ingredients could be nurtured normally, these will be sent to the breeding area for reproduction. After reaching a certain amount, they could then be sold to the public. As for kitchen utensils and other daily life tools, the seventh laboratory was responsible for research and development.

After the visit to the R&D area, the two returned to the first group. He Yun Yi had already had someone bring in the soybeans Ruan Tang brought with him.

He Yun Yi clapped his hands and called all the researchers in the first group. Then he said: “This is the new four-star chef of the empire. He is also a special consultant for our Academy. He is here today to demonstrate how to process soybeans. He took what they had discussed in the office and explained it briefly. As they listened the researchers’ eyes began to radiate with splendor. A lot of the gazes directed at Ruan Tang had a fanatical gleam.

“He’s truly worthy of being called a genius chef! His way of thinking is completely unlike others’!”

“Yeah, I think I’m getting an idea.”

“Me too……”

This group of people looked at each other and the eyes they directed towards Ruan Tang turned even more fervent: Goodness gracious, isn’t this an apple tree spirit?

Ruan Tang had no idea what these people were thinking. He just thought that their eyes had turned green. His body gave an involuntary tremor and he resolved to quickly get out of this shady place.

He used the remaining soybeans and coagulant to give the people a demonstration of the tofu-making process. He explained, “Depending on the degree of solidification, it can be made into soy milk, tofu pudding, firm tofu and silky tofu. Soy milk is a finished product, while the other three are semi-finished products. After a little processing, they could be made into very delicious food.”

In addition to soy products, Ruan Tang also mentioned about dairy products, meat products and flour products. Once the researchers heard these, their eyes lit up. The details of these things were told to He Yun Yi earlier, and He Yun Yi had also made detailed records, so they only needed to go to He Yun Yi to get more relevant information.

Probably because they had already grasped his advice, after the demonstration, these researchers dispersed back to their own experiment stations. Some of them held soybeans or eggs or some other product. On one hand, discussing, on the other hand, drawing designs on their light brains. It looks like soon, there will be a load of new products available on the shopping site.

“I should probably go back. Thank you for your hospitality today.” Ruan Tang looked at the time and it was almost five o’clock. He felt that it was almost time to leave.

The Academy was more interesting than he imagined, and the atmosphere was a lot livelier. As long as they could really develop what he wanted, then today’s trip was not made in vain.

“I should be the one to thank you. You have brought us very good ideas. Go back and wait for our good news.”

“Okay.” Ruan Tang very happily agreed. He then took out a small bottle of chili oil and handed it to He Yun Yi. “Might I trouble you to give this bottle of chili oil to Marshal He? He seems to like spicy food.”

He Yun Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t think that Ruan Tang would unexpectedly give some thought to his idiot younger brother.

“It seems that he will be in for a nice surprise tonight.” He Yun Yi took the chili oil and the corners of his mouth ticked up. He patted Ruan Tang’s shoulder affectionately, “But being so biased isn’t a good thing, you know?”

Catching what he meant, Ruan Tang quickly nodded and smiled. “Well, next time I’ll make enough for two.”

He refused He Yun Yi’s good intention to send him back. He opened the light brain and called for a suspended car.

Ruan Tang wanted to do a live broadcast tonight, and then if he didn’t go back now, his audience would be too anxious.
