Into Unscientific Chapter 591

Chapter 591 Nutrition intake problem solved! (It's still 4D, ask for a monthly pass!)

The next afternoon.

The eleventh factory area of the 221 base.

Mentioned earlier.

Among the 18 branch factories in the base, three factory areas will be involved in material handover with the outside world in normal times.

they are, respectively:

The second branch factory,

Eleventh Branch Factory,

and the 12th branch factory.

The situation in the second factory area is quite special, it can be regarded as a 'part-time' situation:

Most of the time.

It is mainly responsible for the research and development of high-energy explosives, production testing and the overall assembly of future nuclear weapons. It can be regarded as a standard scientific research center.

However, due to the most outer location and the excellent road conditions.

The second factory area will also be responsible for some material transfers that require vehicles during certain business hours.

For example, the food, journals and Xu Yun brought back by Lao Guo and the others were half-cooked, and they came from the base of the second factory area.

But the part-time job in the second factory area is nothing more than that.

When encountering materials that really need to be transported by train, the transfer point of the base is still at the 11th and 12th branch factories with regular platforms.

The difference between these two branch factories is that the eleventh factory area is a platform for dangerous goods, and the twelve factory area is a platform for ordinary materials.

Of course.

The dangerous goods here should be precisely 'sensitive' items, not just flammable and explosive chemical products and so on.

For example, some precision instruments and some experts from outside—such as Qian Wushi and the others were all "transported" to the 11th branch factory to get off.

Another example.

The Black Soldier Fly Larva Courier to be delivered today.

Right now.

A large group of people had already gathered by the platform of the eleventh factory area.

Among them are base management like Li Jue and Lao Guo, sideline team youth workers like Zhou Shaoping, Zhang Gongding, and melon eaters like Xu Yun.

It is now 2:30 in the afternoon, which happens to be the most sultry time in the sun. So many people who just got off work and haven't showered are gathered outdoors.

to be honest.

The smell is a bit heavy.

But everyone didn't care about it at all, even Xu Yun, who came from later generations, didn't react much—after all, his nose was almost burnt to Voldemort, and he couldn't smell much

At this time, everyone's eyes were locked on the southeast direction of the platform.

That is.

The location of Shanzhou, the capital of Xihai Province.

after awhile.

"Xiao Zhou."

Li Jue withdrew his gaze from a distance, and asked his assistant Zhou Cai:

"How long has the train been leaving?"

Li Jue doesn't like the restraint of the watch chain on the wrist, so he seldom wears a watch, and usually asks Zhou Cai directly for the time.

Zhou Cai flipped his wrist neatly, and reported a time:

"Director, it's been about three hours since we set off."

Li Jue nodded and asked again:

"What about the breeding room?"

Zhou Cai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"There is nothing wrong with the training center. Comrade Kampot and Director Liu have already vacated the place the day before yesterday—otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have brought the Black Soldier Fly here today."

Li Jue was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and finally exhaled faintly:

"Old Zhou, this tmd is doing a surprise attack."

The old Zhou Li Jue mentioned was not a member of the base, but Shanzhou or, to be precise, the head of the Secrecy Front in Xihai Province.

About two days ago.

Gongbu and others from the animal husbandry sideline team cooperated with Liu Youcheng to finally build a breeding room for breeding black soldier fly larvae.

Li Jue and others routinely reported this situation to the capital, and hoped that the capital would send follow-up instructions.

But the capital was silent for two whole days, and Li Jue even wondered if something unexpected had happened—for example, when the black soldier flies were captured, they all flew away.

Then this morning, Lao Zhou from Shanzhou suddenly sent a secret report:

The first batch of Black Soldier Fly larvae will arrive at the base this afternoon!

So ever since.

The base quickly made preparations for the handover. Although nothing went wrong during the whole process, it was somewhat embarrassing.

Woo Chi—

And not long after Li Jue asked the time.

On the railway not far away, there was a sound of a train moving.

"The train is coming!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted.

All the people at the scene came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they all rushed to the edge of the platform:

"The train is really coming!"

"This thing is much bigger than the commuter train at our base."

"Not only is it big, but it's also much thicker. Look at the circle outside, it's really dark."

"Really slow"

Then under the gaze of everyone.

This round-headed train, which is rarely seen in later generations, slowly stopped beside the platform while emitting black smoke.

After a while.

Clah—

The first carriage of the train was opened from the inside, and a man walked out of the car first.

This person is about forty years old, wearing a gray cadre uniform, not tall, but very bloated.

To know.

In this day and age, due to the lack of supplies, fat people are still rare.

For example, the Workers' Daily published a report last year that among the more than 4,000 workers in a state-owned mining factory in Sichuan Province, only 6 of them weighed more than 150 catties—although I don't know what the purpose of doing this and distributing such statistics is.

After seeing this person.

Li Jue, who had been waiting here for a long time, couldn't help but stepped forward, hammered the opponent's shoulder heavily, and scolded with a smile:

"Okay Zhou, I haven't seen you in a few months and gained weight again. Does this look like 180 catties?"

"Why, Lao Guo and other comrades and I are suffering here in Jinyintan, and you are happy to eat delicious food in Shanzhou?"

Li Jue just finished speaking.

The fat man named Lao Zhou suddenly pulled a wry smile, shook his head repeatedly and said:

"Lao Li, you **** don't bury me."

"You don't even think about it. If I eat a lot of fish and meat for personal enjoyment, the organization can still let me be responsible for keeping secrets in Shanzhou?"

"That's right, I gained a lot of weight, but it has nothing to do with being popular and spicy, it's all due to pressure."

"Hey, if you don't believe me, look at my arms and stomach, they are all puffy."

Hear this statement.

Li Jue also restrained his original smile, and patted him on the shoulder with some emotion.

Students who are fat should know it.

In addition to excessive nutritional intake, stress is also one of the reasons why a person may gain weight.

When a person is under great pressure, the secretion of the body will be disturbed and the metabolism will slow down.

It also produces something called cortisol, which is the stress hormone.

Cortisol can increase plasma cholesterol, activate subcutaneous esterase in limbs, and promote subcutaneous fat decomposition.

What about the decomposed fat?

will be redistributed on the face, upper chest, back of the neck, abdomen and buttocks, forming central obesity.

Some kind—note that it is in a sense.

The reason why many decadent people are called dead fat houses is that the fat in them has a lot to do with cortisol.

Later generations also have a term in this regard, called stress obesity.

It is clear.

This old Zhou who was teased by Li Jue belongs to this situation.

Then Lao Zhou looked up and looked around, patted his puffy belly lightly, and said to Li Jue:

"Let's talk about Lao Li, I'm so fat now, it's thanks to you."

Li Jue was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise:

"us?"

"certainly."

Old Zhou pouted his chin in a certain direction towards the sky, and said:

"Didn't you shoot down three U2s some time ago, and the other side is still in the dark."

"They knew that something must have happened to the three U2s, and it was probably already a disaster, but they didn't know the specific process and reason."

"So in the past period of time, our Xihai and Longyou next door have almost become the enemy's regiment building area, and a bunch of them popped up like cockroaches, and they couldn't be defeated."

said.

Old Zhou suddenly thought of something again, pointed to the train beside him and said:

"And the Black Soldier Fly larva sent this time, Lao Li, do you know why the organization didn't notify you in advance?"

"The reason is that there are too many enemy agents on the West Sea side during this period. For the sake of confidentiality, the scope of personnel who know the situation must be limited."

"Later, when the capital made a calculation, well, anyway, your breeding room has already been completed, so why don't you notify anyone in advance, this way it can't be more stable."

Li Jue was startled for a moment.

Good guy.

Is that how co-authoring works?

He wondered why there would be a sudden attack on the organization. It turned out that the enemy agents started to stress because of U2's loss of contact recently?

I remember Ye Duzheng told him about the butterfly wing storm a few days ago, could this be one of them?

Then he looked Lao Zhou up and down again, and patted him on the shoulder for the second time:

"Old Zhou, you have worked hard."

"Hey, what's this?"

Old Zhou waved his hands indifferently, looking very free and easy:

"If you can take down three more U2s, let alone gain 20 pounds, I don't mind if they grow like the base of your ears!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I wasn't there when we played u2, and I missed that good show, otherwise I would still be able to brag to my grandson in the future."

Li Jue's original face was still a little dignified, but he was amused by Lao Zhou's words:

"Aha? Three more fights?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. Don't forget, there is only one U2 left on the other side, and I guess I don't have the courage to come to the mainland."

"So, Zhou, you want to see us take down three more U2s. I guess it's impossible."

Old Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed after recovering:

"That's true. I guess even if the other side wants to come again, it is unlikely that the other side will send them another plane."

"It seems that I don't have the chance to see U2 being shot down in my life. By the way, I heard that your base has a very magical ax. I made a wish in the opposite direction to it. Do you think it is possible to come true? "

Jue Li:

Lao Zhou's last words were obviously just joking, so soon, his expression returned to normal again.

"Okay, Lao Li, let's stop chatting here."

Mention business.

Lao Zhou's aura also changed instantly, and his eyes became sharper:

"The mission is special, now we should start handing over this batch of goods."

Li Jue heard the same expression, making a listening gesture.

"look."

Then Lao Zhou pointed to the second half of the round train he was riding on, and introduced:

"Except for the coal-burning room, this train has a total of six carriages. The first and last two carriages are used for passengers, and the middle four carriages are used for holding goods."

"According to the news from the capital, there are about 70,000 Black Soldier Fly adults and 150,000 Black Soldier Fly larvae in this consignment."

"These two kinds of insects were placed in a closed but breathable wooden box with moist soil and alfalfa grass. It has been about five days since the successful capture."

"Among them, the black soldier fly adults need a certain amount of room to move, so the wooden box size is 1X1X0.25, and there are about 1,000 adults in each box, that is, 75 boxes."

"The activity of the larvae is low, and the activity of some eggs is even 0, so about 3000 larvae can be placed in a box."

"So although the number of larvae is more than that of adults, their number of boxes is less than that of adults. There are only more than fifty boxes in total."

Hearing Lao Zhou's words.

Han Li, who had just been pushed by Lao Guo to Lao Zhou's side, also nodded subconsciously.

The larvae of the Black Soldier Fly are somewhat similar to mealworms. They belong to a species of high-density breeding and can be tossed hard.

Students who have been fishers in this life should know it.

Meal worms are a kind of magic tool for making nests, especially they can be used to catch pouty mouths, bah, I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

The community density of mealworms is very high. Generally, the washbasin for washing the face is spread with a thickness of two centimeters, and the number can reach about a thousand.

And the hive of posterity.

Medium bee standard box generally consists of a nest box of 10 frames, the outer circumference of these frames is 420 mm long and 250 mm high - this is the industry standard.

In the case of bees crawling on both sides.

A 4m x 2.5m Zhongbee standard conjoined box can accommodate tens of thousands of bees.

Therefore, a 1X1X0.25 box holds 1000 adults and 3000 larvae.

It can only be said that the capital is still too conservative.

Of course.

Considering the importance of these black soldier flies, it is completely understandable for the capital to be cautious.

After all, this batch of black soldier flies is not the original samples. If they are gone, you can catch them again.

Once something happens to hundreds of thousands of black soldier fly larvae, the entire plan of the rabbits will be seriously affected—unless you can find another gathering point immediately.

At the same time, even for such low-density wooden boxes, the train can transport them all at once, so there is no need to squeeze them hard.

Afterwards, Li Jue handed over some procedures to Lao Zhou, and after everything was done, he began to arrange for the sideline team of young workers to move the wooden boxes.

Here we go.

The sideline team of young workers who had been on standby before came in handy.

There are more than 30 young workers present today, including some old acquaintances of Xu Yun, such as those members of the interest group.

Then under the instructions of Zhou Cai and several other leaders.

The young workers worked in groups of two and moved the boxes as horizontally as possible to the transport truck next to the platform.

Half an hour passed.

More than one hundred boxes have all been moved.

Here we go.

Old Zhou's mission on this trip can be regarded as completed.

However, he did not leave the base in a hurry, but took other vehicles with Li Jue and others, and drove to the

The Black Soldier Fly Breeding Center at the base.

Twenty minutes later.

Prick—

With the sound of brakes one after another.

Several vehicles stopped at an area on the edge of the base.

This area is located in the southeast corner of the base, and does not belong to any of the eighteen branch factories.

But don't look at this area as if there is no 'owner', in fact its security can be said to be one of the best in the base:

To the west is the main body of the base, and to the east, south and north is the Jinyintan Grassland with an area of 1,100 square kilometers.

Other than that.

There is also a barracks of troops stationed around this area, and there is a battalion of soldiers on patrol for a long time.

The process is very difficult for anyone to get here.

Purely speaking from the perspective of preventing human sabotage.

Looking at the entire base, even the main factory might not be safe here.

As the person in charge of the entire West Sea Secrecy Front.

When the base was completed, Lao Zhou also visited Base 221 several times in person, and he is no stranger to this distinctive area.

In Lao Zhou's impression.

The field of vision in this area is quite wide. Standing here, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the grassland. It is a very good place to rest.

But at this moment.

On the originally empty ground, a building appeared at some point.

The appearance of the building is very similar to the vegetable greenhouses of later generations. The height seems to be only about three meters, but the length and width are more than 50 meters.

However, the material on the top of the 'greenhouse' is not a transparent plastic film, but pieces of black iron sheets, which look quite solid overall.

"Old Zhou, look."

At the same time when the Qinggong sideline team started unloading, Li Jue led Lao Zhou to the side of the building:

"As you can see, this is the Black Soldier Fly Breeding Center established in our base, and this is the first phase of the breeding greenhouse we set up."

"The height of the greenhouse is 3.5 meters, and the length and width are 60 meters. The total area is about 3,600 square meters, which is five acres. Or close to six acres of land."

"Of course, this is only the first phase of our project, and the breeding center is still being expanded—after all, there is not enough time."

Looking at the shed in front of him, Lao Zhou nodded in understanding.

Because Xu Yun provided the gathering point in Jingxi, the rabbits saved a lot of time looking for the Black Soldier Fly.

thus corresponds to .

The time it takes for base 221 to set up the breeding room has also been shortened a lot, to only a week.

In this day and age.

It is obviously unrealistic to build a breeding center of tens or even hundreds of acres in such a short period of time.

It is not easy to build such a first-stage shed with iron sheets.

After all, although the greenhouse does not need to lay a deep foundation, there is no PE protective film like the later generations these days.

If you want to build a greenhouse of this size, you can only do it with a steel frame plus concrete and iron sheets, and the process is still not easy.

If Base 221 hadn't the ability to smelt steel, it could provide a large amount of parts in a short time, and it wouldn't be enough to keep them in place for a week.

Half an hour later.

The boxes removed from the transport truck were put on the trailer in groups of five, and dragged by several donkeys to the breeding shed.

Just entered the greenhouse.

Old Zhou raised his eyebrows:

"Ooh!"

Actually.

At this time, there are not a few base leaders who are as surprised as him, Gein.

The scene in the greenhouse was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

According to what Lao Zhou thought.

Most of the greenhouses are small pots placed on the ground, and some weeds are placed in the pots to cultivate larvae, and that's all.

But the current situation in the greenhouse is completely different from what he imagined:

The first thing that came into their sight was three huge puddles inside the shed.

The depth of the puddle is about tens of centimeters, and some green plants are planted. The area of each puddle is about 50 square meters.

Other than that.

Around the puddle, fine screen windows and screen doors were placed, closing it into a closed space.

"Let me introduce to you."

Because Gongbu, who is in charge of breeding, is introverted and his Mandarin is not very good, Liu Youcheng, the director of the chemical laboratory and the person in charge of the development of insect powder, took the initiative to introduce the work:

"These three waterholes are the breeding areas for black soldier fly adults, and the green plants in them are mainly to properly simulate some wild environments."

"In addition to what you have seen, we will also control the temperature at 35°C-36°C and the humidity between 50-60."

"After the adult black soldier flies enter the breeding area, they will stay on the plants and screen windows, usually lay eggs in one to two days, and die quickly after laying eggs."

"According to the plan, we will deal with the dead black soldier flies every day, and at the same time collect the eggs of the black soldier flies to the breeding room."

"You can take a look here. The black soldier flies in this part are the adults hatched from the first batch of eggs in the base."

said.

Liu Youcheng pointed to the lower right corner of the pool.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and looked in the direction Liu Youcheng pointed.

as expected.

In the direction Liu Youcheng pointed at, there were about dozens of black soldier flies lying on their stomachs.

This batch of black soldier flies came from the samples sent to the base three days ago. Yuan Guoliang, Hou Guangjiong and others arrived at the base with them at that time.

There were thousands of black soldier fly larvae in that batch of samples, some of them were in the first and second stages, and some of them were close to hatching to adults.

After this part of the larval wings reach complete metamorphosis.

Liu Youcheng and others led them to the breeding area for observation, and only two adults died in three days.

Immediately after.

Liu Youcheng led everyone to the area behind the pool.

Several long tunnels were dug out in this area. The tunnels were not filled with water, but there was a lot of dark brown soil, which seemed to come from the outside world.

"Here, this is the growth area for larvae."

Liu Youcheng pointed to these tunnels and said:

"We have laid some food beds in the growth area, and every day there will be ground grass brought in from the outside."

"There are food beds in all directions, and the characteristic is that the area is small but the number is large, which can basically guarantee the food intake of the larvae."

"Look, the one on the far right is the larvae growth area for our test run."

Xu Yun poked his head in that direction after hearing the words.

In the tunnel that Liu Youcheng pointed out, there are a large number of yellow-pink 'tip buds' buried in small layers.

There is a yellow light bulb hanging above the tunnel, and the black soldier fly larvae are wriggling and eating at this time.

And it is different from the mealworms or barley worms of later generations.

The smell of black soldier fly larvae is very light, and it doesn't have the rancid smell of barley worms at all—Xu Yun raised barley worms in his previous life when he was raising harvest ants.

Then Lao Zhou looked around the greenhouse, pondered for a moment, and asked Liu Youcheng:

"Director Liu, I have a question - I wonder how long it will take for our greenhouse to expand to its full form?"

"If my memory is correct, in order to ensure the nutritional intake of all employees in the base, at least 200,000 adult worms must be provided every day?"

Mentioned earlier.

A second-stage black soldier fly larva is about two centimeters in length, weighs about 3 grams per worm, and has a protein content of about 1.5 grams.

Deducting the 10 grams of protein provided by the staple food, each person should consume about 15 grams of black soldier fly protein powder per day.

The number of people in the 221 base is more than 10,000, so about 200,000 larvae need to be provided every day.

At the same time except for these 200,000 larvae.

It is also necessary to ensure that a sufficient number of larvae are cultivated into adults, so the daily output of black soldier fly eggs must be at least 500,000 or more.

The figure of 500,000 is not very difficult. After all, a village-level breeding center in later generations can produce hundreds of thousands of black soldier fly larvae every day.

But in these years, the efficiency of infrastructure construction is a difficult point.

An insect breeding area of this magnitude requires at least a hundred acres of land to meet the requirements.

However, Liu Youcheng obviously discussed this matter with Li Jue very early on, so he gave the answer without much hesitation after hearing the words:

"That's right, Commissioner Zhou, with the current specifications of our breeding center, it must not be able to afford the nutritional intake of all the people in the base."

"But it's only the end of August now, and there are at least three months before winter, so there is relatively plenty of time."

"According to the current progress, we will be able to expand the breeding center to 100 acres in early October."

Heard the time given by Liu Youcheng.

Old Zhou thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

The expression on his face also softened a lot.

One hundred mu of land is about 67,000 square meters. For example, it is a 320x200 rectangle.

Regardless of the laying of the foundation, more than a month should be about the same.

At that time, it will take another month or so to expand the black soldier fly colony. In theory, it should be able to reach the corresponding number of colonies just before winter.

As for the Black Soldier Fly larvae this month.

They can be used for occasional extra meals, or they can be ground into powder as a material reserve.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of black soldier fly larvae today.

Based on these larvae, it is not a problem to expand the planting and add two or three meals of nutrition to the base owners within a month.

Then with the assistance of many young workers and donkeys.

The boxes of adults and larvae sent to Base 221 across thousands of kilometers were all transferred to the pond where the adults were raised.

Exactly.

Both boxes were transported to the adult beetle rearing area at the same time.

Then several staff members wearing similar anti-bee suits walked into the pool, closed the screen window, and opened the boxes one after another.

More than 70 adult insect boxes were opened first.

click—

With the opening of the box.

After half a minute.

A few adult black soldier flies flew out of the box, and quickly landed on the grid of the screen window, motionless as if they had found their home.

But watch and watch.

Old Zhou outside the screen window frowned slightly:

"Director Liu, no, why is the survival rate of these adults so low?"

Old Zhou has very good eyesight. After opening the tenth or so boxes, he discovered a situation:

The number of adult worms in the box does not seem to be many, it is estimated that it is only 40% or even 30%.

However, Liu Youcheng next to him seemed very calm, and he had made some achievements in biology. Hearing this, he explained:

"Commissioner Zhou, you don't need to be too nervous, this is actually a very normal situation."

"The survival period of the adult black soldier fly is very short, and according to our observations, the death performance of this insect is standard [sudden sudden death]."

"That is to say, it was flying around alive and well, but it might suddenly land with a slap in the next second, and it was completely dead."

"Therefore, among the captured black soldier flies, there must be many adults who were on the verge of death."

"And these adults have been transported on the road for several days, and some of the original adults have also entered old age. In addition, the transportation conditions on the road are poor, and the survival rate of 30% is considered high."

"It's like another larvae box. Can you believe that there will be a lot of adult worms in it after opening?"

Old Zhou thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

After a while.

He suddenly seemed to have realized something, patted his forehead lightly, and suddenly realized:

"Oh I see!"

"It is for this reason that you transport the boxes of adults and larvae to the adult beetle breeding area first?"

Liu Youcheng smiled and nodded:

"Exactly."

More than ten minutes later.

Several staff members who opened and completed the worm boxes put away these boxes and the dead black soldier flies, and opened the box containing the larvae.

as expected.

After opening the larva chest.

In an instant, many adult black soldier flies flew out of it, and quickly selected their positions on the screen window.

The staff waited quietly for all the adults to finish flying before covering the larvae box again.

After screening these transformed adults.

The remaining larvae can be safely placed in the larva culture area.

certainly.

This approach may also have some logical loopholes.

For example, if the remaining larvae are not kept clean, some will completely metamorphose into adults after a few hours or even minutes.

But this kind of logical loophole is as it should be, and it can only stay at the logical level.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of larvae, this small proportion of events can be completely ignored.

After all, as long as there are not a large number of adults in the larvae culture area, it has no effect on the growth of larvae.

For example, isn't there a large number of larvae and adults co-existing in the Black Soldier Fly gathering place on the edge of Sandieling Waterfall in Jingxi?

after an hour.

The staff members who had released all the adults returned to the screen door, and Liu Youcheng outside turned on the strong light.

Although the black soldier fly requires a temperature above 35 degrees, it actually does not like light.

So with the strong light.

The black soldier flies near the screen door flew to the back or side of the pool, and there were no black soldier flies gathered at the entrance except for a few nails.

So the staff can safely push open the screen door and walk out with the boxes.

Another half hour passed.

The larval culture area is also placed through the same process.

Here we go.

The transfer of the first batch of large-scale black soldier fly larvae has finally come to a successful conclusion.

"correct."

Looking at the Black Soldier Fly larvae gnawing on the pasture, Lao Zhou suddenly thought of something:

"Old Li, you always say that the larvae of this thing can be ground into powder, but you don't know how it tastes?"

"I see that adult insect is black and long, like a miniature version of a grasshopper. Could it taste similar to grasshopper eggs?"

"That's better than grasshopper eggs."

Li Jue waved his hands with a smile, turned around and whispered something to Zhou Cai.

Zhou Cai said yes when he heard the words, turned around quickly, and ran to the outside of the shed.

After a while.

Zhou Cai pushed a simple version of the cart and carried a bamboo drawer back to the crowd:

"Director, things are ready."

Seeing this, Li Jue patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder, led everyone to the side of the car, and lifted the lid of the bamboo drawer.

Hoo—

A puff of white smoke rose suddenly.

After the smoke dissipated, everyone could see what was inside:

On the mat of the bamboo drawer, there were more than a dozen steamed buns made of miscellaneous noodles!

Then Li Jue pointed to the steamed buns in the bamboo drawer and said:

"Powder made from black soldier fly larvae was added to these cornbreads. Well, the white spots on these nests should be the **** of the powder."

Then Li Jue randomly picked a steamed bun, not afraid of being burned, and directly broke it into several pieces and handed it to the surrounding people:

"Come on, let's all have a taste."

Old Zhou took the wowotou carefully, blew on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

With the entrance of Wowotou.

A bulge was visible to the naked eye on Lao Zhou's cheek, and it kept jumping up and down as he chewed.

After a while.

Old Zhou's eyes suddenly brightened:

"Huh? It's so fragrant! It seems a bit similar. Taro?"

Hear this statement.

Xu Yun beside him couldn't help but smile.

Exactly.

The protein powder ground from black soldier fly larvae has a very special taste.

Not only is it not as astringent as grasshoppers. To be precise, it is as astringent as locust larvae, but it also has an aroma similar to taro.

This is because the protein powder of the black soldier fly larvae undergoes a Maillard-like reaction during the steaming process.

Under high temperature.

Some of the proteins of black soldier fly larvae will be decomposed into amino acids—this decomposition will start at about 80 degrees.

At the same time.

The black soldier fly larva has a little reducing sugar in its body, which is the biggest difference between it and some other insects.

When the steamer is hot enough.

Amino acids and reducing sugars will undergo Maillard-like reactions to produce glucocorticoids and heterocyclic compounds similar to ginsenosides.

These two flavors are the source of the familiar [taro flavor].

Of course.

Since the whole process cannot reach more than 150 degrees, it is naturally impossible to have the standard Maillard reaction of browning that occurs in fried steak.

So strictly speaking, this is a denaturation of a Maillard-like reaction.

No pathogenic bacteria, high-quality taste.

This is one of the characteristics of black soldier fly larvae.

It is only in Xu Yun's later life that the domestic food supply has reached a very complete and high-standard level.

So for most people, eating bugs basically does not appear on the dinner table.

But for this era.

The appearance of black soldier fly larvae is undoubtedly a major explanation for nutritional intake!

While Lao Zhou and the others were gnawing on the corn bread.

The capital thousands of kilometers away.

A middle-aged Chinese man wearing glasses, but the whole person fell into a state of confusion:

"What, hold a Coke fair in Moscow?"

Note:

Another 4D update, please ask for a monthly ticket, this month is really important, and even related to some of my next book, so if you have a vote, please vote for it, if the next book does not change the vest, I will fight for some resources .

So if you have votes, don't vote at the end of the month. Only the beginning of the month can help me.

In addition, this month's fan title activity has started, 30 places, just leave a message in the comment area, the leader is basically stable, but fans of the same level are first come, first served.

Continue to explode tomorrow, ask for a monthly pass! !
