Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Chapter 381 Biscuits and Academician Zhang

"...I went to the supermarket today and discovered something. Is the money so well spent now? We won't have deflation."

"Deflation is nothing. We are currently building a lot of huge projects and printing money. You are thinking too complicated. It means that the prices of the things you buy have dropped."

"After electricity prices were cut again this year, the prices of a bunch of industrial products have been reduced significantly. Coupled with the various subsidies above, they are eager to stuff money into your hands. Naturally, you will feel that your money is well spent."

"To be honest, I have never been so comfortable in the past few years in my life. Wages are rising, prices are falling, and jobs are not hard to find. Is there anyone who sells statues of Academician Mo? I will buy one and put it at home."

"Every e-commerce platform has them. Not to mention you, my dad has a primary school education and is almost 60 this year. He has never heard of controllable nuclear fusion before. In the past two years, I can hear it. When he mentioned Academician Mo in a few words, he wanted to give Academician Mo a thumbs up on the spot. "

"This is essentially the improvement in productivity brought about by controllable nuclear fusion. As per capita productivity increases, you will naturally feel that the wealth in your hands is increasing in value."

"It's just meat, it's still a bit fast."

"This is coming soon, isn't it? Some scientists are working on fully intelligent three-dimensional farms. By then, every city will build a three-dimensional farm, and everyone will be able to freely produce fruits, vegetables and meat."

"Academician Mo is awesome!"

This remote corner of the entire Internet,

It's just a glimpse of the current situation.

However, this feeling obviously fits the feeling of many people at this moment.

It’s so relevant that terms like ‘I feel like my money is better spent’ have repeatedly appeared on the hot search lists of various social platforms.

And it seems that printing money has a special effect.

There is enough support for the surge in productivity.

From a macro perspective,

Many people's wages have risen because of money printing.

This money is gradually spread to the hands of most people through major super projects and various industrial chains.

The decline in industrial products means that productivity has increased and manufacturing costs have decreased.

Then some products in strongly related fields will also see price cuts.

And this is personal,

And for the entire country of China,

The convergence of these changes has meant that during this period of time, the size of the entire country of China has been rapidly expanding in all directions.

Another incident in 32 years,

It was Academician Zhang who passed away.

Academician Zhang started to get worse in 1931.

After more than a year, as the body further ages,

Academician Zhang has gradually reached the point where medicine and stone have no cure.

Half a month before Academician Zhang’s death,

Mo Dao also made a special trip to the hospital to visit him.

When I went, I also picked up a bag of things.

In the bag, there are some bagged bread and bagged biscuits.

It looks like some snack shop on the street stopped by to weigh in some bulk snacks.

It’s just that the brand name on the packaging bag is also rare.

"This is?"

When Mo Dao went to visit, Academician Zhang was in good spirits that day.

Even though he already knew about his illness, he didn't show much anxiety.

Looking at the bag in Mo Dao's hand, Academician Zhang did not shy away and asked directly out of curiosity,

"A new food company has been established under the agricultural department, and this is the product they are preparing to launch next."

"Before it went on sale, some were sent to me, so I just picked them up."

Mo Dao explained,

"The raw materials of these products are somewhat special. The main source of starch is synthetic starch produced industrially from carbon dioxide."

The technology to synthesize starch from carbon dioxide has actually been developed a few years ago.

Originally, the biggest problem was the high cost of electricity. Now, this problem is obviously no longer a problem.

"Can you give me a taste?"

Academician Zhang also became interested after listening to Mo Dao's explanation.

The body leaning against the bedside of the hospital bed moved a few times and asked Mo Dao again.

Mo Dao smiled and handed the entire bag to Academician Zhang.

For old people like Academician Zhang,

Eating such snacks is obviously not very good,

But for the old man at this moment, it is really meaningless to talk about taboos.

Academician Zhang took this bag of snacks,

I looked through it very carefully and seriously.

"The style is still a bit lacking."

Academician Zhang said something to himself, and then smiled to himself,

"But it would be nice if they researched and developed more new flavors."

While talking, Academician Zhang picked out a small bag of biscuits.

I picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, but I was not in a hurry to tear open the package.

On the simple packaging, it is printed,

Its main component, starch, is industrially prepared and synthesized.

After another pause, Academician Zhang tore open the package, brought the cookie to his mouth, and took a bite.

"Yeah, it's delicious...it's delicious."

Academician Zhang nodded, repeated the words several times, and then continued to eat all the biscuits in one bite.

Mo Dao sat beside the hospital bed and said nothing.

Mo Dao has actually tasted this biscuit.

In terms of taste, it's actually nothing special.

It's just an ordinary scallion oil biscuit. If you mix it with other ordinary biscuits, normal people won't be able to tell any special difference.

but,

The meaning of this biscuit adds some special flavor to it.

"call……"

After finishing eating, Academician Zhang took a long breath.

"How much does this biscuit cost?"

"The price should be higher than normal brands."

Academician Zhang nodded.

This main source of food is different from the usual situation,

It has strategic significance,

However, in normal times, there is no need to impact the daily food market.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that this kind of thing, in a great sense, means that for the first time, mankind has said goodbye to relying on the sky for food.

In this way, even if one day in the future,

The grain harvest was severe, and the grain stores were exhausted.

If you use this thing now and produce it with all your strength, you will never go hungry again.

At Academician Zhang's age, he was also hungry when he was young.

"Very good, very good..."

Academician Zhang smiled again and said,

Looking at this bag again, it is food that can finally be mass-produced based on the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

"Academician Mo, you have already brought it here, but you cannot take it away again."

"I have to eat more these days."

Academician Zhang said again with a smile.

"Yes. I still have quite a few. If Academician Zhang wants it, he can take it."

"Then there's no need..."

But in the end,

In the last ten days or so, Academician Zhang actually ate very little of the bag of biscuits and bread.

More often than not, just when I wake up from a drowsy sleep, I will pick up a bag and put it in front of my eyes to take a look.

Then I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Until the last day of life,

He also said to the people around him,

If this thing is new, you have to bring some to me.

If there are further results in controllable nuclear fusion technology, please let me know.

After the death of Academician Zhang,

He was covered with a national flag and eventually buried at Capital City National Cemetery.

Time just continued to pass quickly.

33 years.

Concentrating its efforts, China will prioritize the construction of the fifth batch of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors to deal with the tritium vacancies in the previous four batches of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors.

same year.

The power department released a piece of data at a press conference.

Many people expected that they would spend 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, which obviously did not happen.

In recent years, residents’ electricity consumption has increased rapidly.

According to statistics, by that year, more than 80% of households consumed more than 200 kilowatt hours of electricity per month.
