Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1095 Real Technology
"Ah, this." Shangluo understood that this was the reason why he went around in circles - he wanted to sell this kind of real technology and hard work in the store. 95% of it is water that can be found everywhere, and 5% is mirage that will make you burp if you take a bite. Rounding it off, it means you didn't eat anything, just drank a mouthful of water.

"Burp~" Shangluo burped, and all the mirage he had just eaten came out. He felt his stomach was empty, as if there was nothing in it.

"I think this is definitely no problem from a safety perspective."

"I know this, Lord Shang. This stuff is safer than a bottle of Coke. But what you agree with, Lord Shang, is that these mirage foods have no nutritional value. Whether it's abalone or lobster, eating them is almost the same as drinking soda."

"It's no big deal. It's not nutritious. People who eat abalone don't really go for the nutrition, they just go for the taste. And King Ao Zang, I think this doesn't need to be covered up, but should be said out loud. Everyone who eats vegetables should know about it. Because it has no nutrition, you won't get fat, and you won't have the three highs. You can eat as much as you want. I think this can actually be sold at a higher price than normal meals."

"Really? Is there such a thing?"

"Ah," Zheng Shijie shook his head. "Mr. Ao Zang, the konjac sold at Yiluhua Department Store is actually very popular. Konjac has almost no nutrients that can be absorbed by humans, and people buy konjac just for this reason."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because unlike you dragons, humans can't control their body size that easily, but they can't control their mouths either. Many people are willing to pay a premium for this kind of healthy food that they can eat to their heart's content without getting fat."

"Then, how do we explain this?" Ao Zang asked the two, "I can't say these are also konjac, right? Everyone has eaten konjac. Now the curtain has not fallen, we can't just tell everyone that the taste of these foods is made with 'mirage'."

"Hey~~" Shangluo waved his hand, "It's called Nano Algae."

"Nano algae?"

"It's not clear, let's just say it's nanotechnology. Take nano algae for example, its molecules are an organic nano polymer."

"Hey, hey, hey." Zheng Shijie pushed his glasses. "After all, I graduated from a related major. Shangluo, the natural nanostructure of organic matter is not uncommon. The structure of eggshells has a complex nanostructure. Nano is just a scale. It doesn't mean that adding the word 'nano' to something will magically give power to ordinary things. Nano metal is fine, but what is nano algae?"

"Great! Great!" Ao Zang clapped his hands vigorously. "As expected of Lord Shang Tian, ​​he can think of something that we country dragons can't think of. Yes, just say this is nano seaweed, why didn't I think of it. Just say this is an organic health food made from nano seaweed."

[Hey, Shangluo, I think this old dragon is playing dumb. The discovery of 'nano algae' should have really surprised him, but he was definitely avoiding the important point when he first mentioned it. Isn't 'disrupting the market' more important than 'nutritional content'? ]

"Oh, you're right." This was one of the few things Shangluo didn't notice, because he didn't eat much of these things. Thinking about it carefully.
"That's not right!" Before he could say anything, Zheng Shijie reacted, "Old Long, this is a bit unfair. How many abalones like this are there in a year? You find a batch of mirage girls blowing bubbles, give them to everyone to eat, and then sell them as soft-boiled abalone? Your calculations are almost breaking my eardrums."

"Authentic?" Ao Zang took a sip of tea, "I am a dragon, not a loach, what authenticity do I need?"

"I don't think so. You have to follow the rules when supplying goods - isn't that the case with the stone crabs in the North Sea? There are so many of them on the seabed that they are a disaster. The claims of 'difficult fishing' and 'difficult sea conditions' are all lies. In fact, they just want to control production so that everyone on this line can get rich. Now you suddenly come up with so much production capacity and say it's more 'green and healthy', then how do you let others do business?" "Hey, you can buy vegetables from the Dragon Palace."

"Come on, these ingredients of yours can't be processed by heat, right? This abalone might have been made directly after being spit out, even the slices are already cut. What's the point of having a restaurant then? Wouldn't the entire catering industry go bankrupt? If that happens, the entire food industry in the capital will be shaken up, don't blame me for not reminding you. Although it's just a cold dish, cold dishes are also important."

"So, I'm here to talk to Lord Shang Tian about this." He looked at Shang Luo, "I say, Lord Shang Tian, ​​what do you think?"

"I say." Shangluo suddenly raised his head, "King Ao Zang, I think there is one thing you haven't explained clearly."

"Oh? What's the matter? Please give me some advice, Lord Shang Tian."

"How do you make this steamed lobster taste like steamed food? Steamed food also has a fragrance after cooking, right? I see that there seems to be a smell of a spoonful of oil in the pan after steaming. So if it can't be heated, where does the smell come from?"

“Of course it is.” Before he finished speaking, Ao Zang knew that Shangluo had figured it out. “Of course it is. Ahahaha, ahahaha.”

Shangluo continued, "Look, spiciness is not essentially a taste, but a kind of pain. Spiciness stimulates the mouth and produces a taste similar to 'hotness', so it is spicy. Then can we say the opposite: as long as we can simulate the stimulation of temperature on the mouth, can't we make the taste of 'hotness', which does not exist, just like spiciness?"

"Eh?" Zheng Shijie clapped his hands. "Right! So Lao Long, you don't just want to dominate the cold dishes, you can also simulate hot dishes, right? Then the catering industry is not as simple as an earthquake. With your mirage, all the restaurants in the world can be closed!"

"Ahem" Dragon King Long coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I say, Lord Shang Tian, ​​you watch..."

"I don't think it's impossible." Shang Luo looked at him, "I think you can express your opinion. But I shouldn't be the one making the decision. This is a matter for the court, so you should discuss it with the court. I will create opportunities for you, and the rest is up to you to convince the court."

"Really??? Lord Shang Tian, ​​do you really agree?"

"Nano algae, right? That's not all bad. Of course. But Dragon King, you just said that this is just a small detail of the technical exchange between you and the West Sea, that is, Atlantis? Then the Crab General will also..."

"Ah! That's right. Lord Shang Tian, ​​you are well-informed, and you may have seen the Crab General! It seems to be called the Phlogiston Submersible in Rome, and they all wear carapace armor. If Lord Shang Tian wants to see it, we can call three to five hundred of them to show you how to act like a tyrant to cheer you up."

"How many?!" Phaethon was shocked. The Phlogiston Submersibles were Rome's trump card. The process of the Imperial Guards transforming into Phlogiston Submersibles had just begun. So far, there were only more than a hundred of them in the entire Rome. "So, you have three to five hundred Phlogiston Submersibles???"

"Crab generals. With 8 naval forces, there must be tens of thousands of crab generals. It's no problem to call on three or five hundred of these outdated West Sea technologies at once. Is there anything strange about this?"
