Vol 2 Chapter 1416: "Artificial meat" rich in high-quality protein

  Chapter 1417 "Artificial meat" rich in high-quality protein

  In addition to some fruits and vegetables in the space farm, some of the insects rich in protein cultivated in it also grow very gratifying.

  If these insect experiment projects are successful, they will serve as an important source of high-quality protein for astronauts’ space travels and foreign planets for a long time to come.

  Of course, it’s just such an insect, it might be a little bad in senses. Therefore, a research team under Wu Hao is trying to use the high-quality protein in these insects to make some artificial meat steaks, and simulate the quality of poultry and fish meat. In this way, both the sensory and the taste will be much better.

  In addition to this protein steak, Wu Hao and others are also actively researching artificial meat, not only using insects, but also using plants to make those vegetarian meat products.

  However, the cost of these artificial meat products on the market is relatively high, and there is still a certain gap between the taste and the taste of real meat.

  Research on this aspect has always been hot. Although various institutions have launched some artificial meat productions, no artificial meat product has been recognized by the public.

It is foreseeable that for a long period of time in the future, at least before large-scale cities or settlements on other planets are established, it is impossible for humans to bring these livestock to other planets, and there is no such environment to provide them. Livestock and poultry.

Therefore, the way for humans to obtain protein and meat is to rely on the regular supply of the earth, but if it is to explore and settle on a different planet, the distance is too far, let alone Mars, it is the moon, and the cost of supply from the earth cycle will also be high. . There is definitely no problem with maintaining a research team of more than a dozen people, but if there are more people, supplies alone will definitely not be enough.

   Therefore, in the future, large-scale migration to other planets, or alien planets, space settlement, requires the necessary food supply security system. On the one hand, the supply of the earth alone is not enough and the cost is too high. On the other hand, there will be certain risks.

  At present, the main ways we enter space are manned spacecraft and space shuttles, as well as Musk’s interstellar spacecraft. Regardless of the type, there is a certain degree of risk in launching. If it is to rely on this kind of supply for a long time, once there is a problem with the supply cargo spacecraft that transports materials, or the launched transport rocket, then the scientific research personnel and astronauts who perform long-term scientific research missions and settle on foreign planets may face the risk of food shortages. .

  Fortunately, the moon has a chance to continue to remedy a failed launch.

   But Mars exploration, there is a specific periodic detection window, usually once every two years, once you miss this window, you may have to wait until the next detection transfer window two years later. As a result, I am afraid that the researchers who settle and study on Mars really have to rely on growing potatoes for a living.

  Therefore, if human beings want to operate on another planet, they must master a mature and reliable supply system.

  There should be no problems with the technology of plant factories, but people cannot rely on plants to be vegetarian. Although many people advocate a popular vegetarian diet, long-term use of a vegetarian diet is likely to cause a series of health problems, such as malnutrition, endocrine disorders, weight loss, and mental depression.

  Although scientists have proposed to use these protein-rich insects to solve this problem, and provide high-quality protein for these astronauts and researchers who perform missions in space and other planets.

  However, this kind of long-term single taste experience, even for professionally trained and highly qualified astronauts, may be bored or even have some negative feelings of resistance.

  So in addition to this kind of vegetarian artificial meat, scientists are still studying the use of animal cells to clone and cultivate artificial meat. Simply put, it is to 3D print these fleshy qualities through animal cells.

  In fact, animal meat cells are basically the same. The reason why the taste is different in each position is mainly in the arrangement and combination. Therefore, through this 3D printing technology, it is possible to reproduce artificial meat products in different positions of different poultry and livestock.

  Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility. At present, this concept has only been proposed. No research institution has been able to put in practice to cultivate such meat products.

  The research project team under Haoyu Technology is also engaged in related research in this area. The current progress is fairly smooth, but I am afraid it will take some time to produce results.

  This inflatable inflatable space experiment module has rich scientific and experimental results, and has also been recognized and praised by all parties. Therefore, the second inflatable inflatable space experiment module was quickly put on the agenda and will be launched at the end of this year and early next year.

  The second inflatable inflatable space experiment module has been upgraded and improved on the basis of the first inflatable inflatable space experiment module. In addition to the expansion of the volume, the biggest change is the addition of a standard interface.

  If everything goes well by then, this inflatable inflatable space experiment module may be docked with Wu Hao and their manned spacecraft Walker, and may even be docked with the space station, becoming part of the space station and operating in combination for a period of time.

The estimated lifetime of the second inflatable inflatable space experiment module will reach six months to ten months in orbit. Such a long time in orbit will further test the related technologies and technologies of this inflatable inflatable space experiment module. Reliability of materials. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

  If its performance is fully verified again, then the related technology of this inflatable inflatable space experiment module will also be applied to a series of subsequent projects. For example, Wu Hao said to the media about the international commercial scientific research space station, as well as the lunar scientific research station and the establishment of early settlements.

Of course, the related technologies or follow-up products of this inflatable inflatable space experiment module will also be connected to the Tiangong, becoming a real space farm and a small vegetable garden for the astronauts on the space station. Provide high-quality fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as fresh insects rich in high-quality protein.

  As for another project this year, the lunar ground exploration and patrol vehicle that will take Wu Hao and their brand new retractable carrier rocket Jianmu 7 to go to the moon in the fall has attracted everyone's attention.

  After all, this should be regarded as the world's first commercial lunar rover, and this lunar rover will perform a series of exploration and patrol missions.

  One of the most eye-catching, naturally, is to carry out the moon landing and establish a lunar scientific research station for the preliminary site and environment survey for the follow-up mankind.

  This also means that if this project goes well, then the dream of mankind to land on the moon and settle on the moon will no longer be far away.
