"The current European aid fleet is operating well, and the production and construction speed has reached the target set by the expected plan, but the shortage of raw materials still affects their production efficiency." Chen Xin was in contact with the domestic communication room of the land aircraft carrier: "I have talked to the relevant person in charge of the fleet that Germany provides us with the only mine, which is the current fleet station. Although it can further explore production capacity and conduct destructive mining without considering sustainable mining to increase production, the capacity that can be increased is still limited.

Moreover, according to production needs, the mining area provided by Germany is only enough to produce a few limited raw materials, and other raw materials are also dependent on their provision, which is a big limitation for production.

So I suggest that it is best to use the mining areas provided by France and England to establish a complete resource output system in Europe to ensure the acquisition of production raw materials so as not to be controlled by others.”

The senior executive who was talking to Chen Xin listened carefully to his report, discussed it in a low voice before asking: "But the fleet of aiding Europe now lacks manpower and supplies, so it is impossible to continue to open up new mining areas, right? Or do Academician Chen, do you have any new ideas?"

"Yes, judging from the current situation, we lack the necessary manpower and sufficient logistics supplies, and we really do not have the ability to open up more mining areas to obtain raw materials." Chen Xin nodded and did not deny this: "So my idea is to make up your own food and clothing, improve the logistics support of the fleet aid to Europe, and ensure that the material assets here can meet the consumption of the fleet, and then expand the fleet's manpower and develop resources."

Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused for a moment, smiled a little self-deprecatingly before continuing: "Of course, I think the leader of the fleet and others should have thought of this kind of plan long ago. I have also seen that the people in the fleet have opened greenhouses to plant crops that can mature quickly, but this still has too slow effect.

As for the transportation of materials from China to Europe, although there are freight land ships now that can ensure the transportation of materials, the domestic materials should not be sufficient now, right?"

Regarding this issue, a leader in charge of supplying logistics materials nodded affirmatively: "Although the intensity of the battle on the front line has declined recently and the defense of alien creatures has been smooth, the material consumption is still very high. Most of the domestic materials are supplied to the combat troops on the front line, and people's livelihood must be guaranteed.

In addition to supplying the 'purchase plan', the materials we can take out can only ensure the basic consumption of the fleet. Although it is not that we have no spare energy, we must also consider possible emergencies to reserve."

The so-called "purchase agency plan" is what Li Yulong and the others are doing. They are collecting various useful technologies and materials in European countries with emergency food and daily necessities delivered from home, and have achieved some results.

It is also because of this that a large part of the quota for materials sent by freight land ships is allocated to them for use, rather than to expand the manpower for the fleet.

Chen Xin had no objection to this point. The basic supply of materials on the fleet was still guaranteed, but there was no extra materials to expand manpower.

As for how to allocate materials and what is more important to the country, naturally, there are people above to consider it and he doesn't need to interfere.

"So Academician Chen, do you have any other solutions?" Several senior leaders looked at Chen Xin with interest. Since Chen Xin knew these problems and brought up this matter, it was obvious that he must have new ideas.

Chen Xin nodded affirmatively and asked several senior leaders: "Have you heard of single-cell proteins?"

"Single-cell protein? Is protein meat?" A senior leader seemed to have heard of something similar and mentioned a little: "Before the disaster, someone proposed to build this artificial protein meat factory to use artificial protein to make synthetic food to meet food consumption, but the country did not adopt this plan at that time."

"It's a similar concept. Single-cell protein is also called microbial protein. It is not a pure protein, but a cytoplasmic group composed of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and mixtures of nitrogen-containing compounds, vitamins and inorganic compounds that are not proteins." Chen Xin introduced to several senior leaders, but in order to facilitate their understanding, Chen Xin did not say too many professional terms: "Simply put, this is a cytoplasm rich in protein and fat, and the cultivation speed is quite fast and the production efficiency is thousands of times higher than that of animals and plants. In fact, before the disaster, this thing was already a very mature technology. In addition to protein and meat, it is also often used as a food additive to supplement proteins or vitamins, minerals, etc.

Although this kind of thing may taste poor, it is not a problem to fill your stomach. It is not pathogenic to the human body and is rich in nutrients. It is a very synthetic food.

And it is quite simple to cultivate. Industrial and agricultural wastewater waste, even oil and natural gas related products can be used as raw materials for production. It is quite simple to cultivate and produce, and can be produced on an industrial scale."

"Yes, I remembered it too. There was such a plan at that time. It was proposed to build protein factories in various cities to produce such single-cell proteins to make synthetic foods to meet food consumption. We also considered this plan at that time." At this time, another leader also remembered this incident and asked other leaders on the side: "I remember everyone thought that this plan was feasible, so why did it be rejected later?"

"It was mainly a problem of raw materials. At that time, according to our estimates, industrial and agricultural production would be devastatingly hit, and it was difficult to obtain raw materials used to produce proteins. So after a comprehensive evaluation, I felt that the large-scale spread could not provide enough raw materials, so I rejected it." A leader next to me seemed to have a good memory and quickly recalled this incident.

However, although they denied this plan at the beginning, they were one after another. Now, after hearing Chen Xin mention this plan, after a while of discussion, they all thought it was a good plan.

But several senior leaders asked with great concern: "Although this technology can indeed solve the problem of eating, where do you get the raw materials for producing these single-cell proteins? If you ship them in China, it is better to transport food directly. Is there any channel for obtaining it in Europe?"

"Please rest assured that I have considered this seriously and there will be no problem." Chen Xin nodded affirmatively and sent the report he wrote over the Internet to several senior leaders.
