Chapter 308 Train Experience
After a group of reporters asked questions.
Lilith took them on the train.
In an ordinary carriage.
The Yomiuri Shimbun, Koryo Ilbo, Global Times and Phoenix Media, three East Asian newspapers, were arranged in opposite soft sleeper compartments on the left and right sides.
They opened the small door directly to the corridor and could see other people.
Mitsui said to Kim Dae-woo of the Korea Daily across the street, "Kim-san, the width of this train should be about 4 meters."
"The route guide says that this railway uses a 1,600mm track gauge, which is a wide gauge." Jin Dae-woo buried his head in his notebook, quickly editing the press release with his hands.
Mitsui showed a little vision for the future: "The technology of Zhiren Company is really amazing! If we can introduce it to Japan, maybe we can directly connect Tainan Island, Okinawa Islands, and Japanese Islands from the Minnan Province of China."
"Haha... Sandy Mitsui's idea is too naive. Who will pay for it? Will America allow it?" Jin Dayu asked directly without even raising his head.
As journalists stationed abroad for a long time, they all know that East Asian integration is absolutely something that is intolerable for America.
Now if we look at the Southeast Asia which has now completed its integration, we will know that once the integration of East Asia is completed, all of America’s fulcrums in East Asia will be completely lost.
After losing Southeast Asia, America's global hegemony is in jeopardy.
If America loses the two strategic fulcrums in Northeast Asia, the consequences will be disastrous and may even lead to the direct collapse of America's global hegemony.
Mitsui smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Yes! America, this is an unavoidable problem."
After the train started.
Several flight attendants pushed carts and sold desserts, drinks and fruits in the corridor.
Wu Qingli from Phoenix Media and Guan Hongzhi from Global Times were also chatting with each other while writing press releases.
Suddenly, they heard a sound coming from the door.
"Would you like drinks, desserts and fruits?" the flight attendant asked in Chinese.
Wu Qingli stood up and looked at the things on the three carts. She first glanced at the drinks: "Two bottles of lemon tea, one mango pudding, and one matcha cake."
Then she looked at the fruit cart, which was divided into layers of typical tropical fruits: bananas, lychees, longans, mangosteens, rambutans, wax apples and guavas.
"One lychee and one guava."
The flight attendant opened the small glass window, used scissors to cut 10 lychees and 1 guava, then stuffed the guava into the ultrasonic cleaning machine, took it out, cut it into four pieces, put it on a small paper box, and handed it to Wu Qingli.
Mitsui across the street also ordered lychees and longans.
Wu Qingli sat back in her seat, handed the matcha cake to the cameraman, and picked up a lychee herself. She was from Guangzhou, so she naturally knew that this lychee was Nuomizi.
"Ms. Wu, did you notice what happened to the lychees just now?" Guan Hongzhi, who was also holding a box of lychees and a box of mangosteens on the opposite side, reminded her meaningfully.
After eating the lychees, Wu Qingli recalled, "Lychees? Not bad! Very fresh."
"Both mangosteen and lychee are very fresh, as if they had just been picked from the branches , and they are very ripe," explained Guan Hongzhi.
"..."Wu Qingli looked at the lychees and guavas in her hands, and picked up a piece of guava with a toothpick. Before she put it in her mouth, she smelled the strong guava aroma. The moment she put it in her mouth, she was very sure that this was a guava that had ripened on the tree.
Guava is a very special fruit and can basically be divided into three stages: the fruit swelling stage, the green fruit stage, and the yellow fruit stage.
The fruit swelling refers to the period during which the fruit is hard and astringent during its growth process.
When it reaches the green fruit stage, the fruit stops swelling, the flesh becomes fluffy, the astringency begins to slowly fade, and it becomes moderately soft and hard again, then it can be picked and sold. Most of the guavas on the market are at this stage.
The yellow fruit stage is when the astringency of the fruit completely disappears, the core of the fruit begins to produce a large amount of flavor substances and sugars, and the flesh becomes softer, smoother and sweeter. Guava at this stage is much more delicious than before.
Whether it is red-heart guava or white-heart guava, it tastes best when it is in the yellow fruit stage. However, since guava in the yellow fruit stage is not resistant to transportation, it is difficult for people outside the place of origin to eat naturally ripened guava.
After eating a piece, Wu Qingli was still unsatisfied: "This pomegranate really looks like it's ripe on the tree, and it's very similar to the ones I ate when I was a child."
"It seems that the Sapiens Company has developed some special technology for preservation." Guan Hongzhi guessed.
In fact, he guessed correctly.
Sapiens has indeed applied some new technologies in the preservation of fruits and vegetables.
For example: plant life preservation cabin, nano spray coating technology.
The plant life preservation cabin technology was used on the fruit cart just now.
This technology is to connect the fruits picked from the tree to a biological life-sustaining device. The core of this device is a genetically recombinant universal grafted plant tissue.
As long as the fruit stems and branches are preserved, they can be directly inserted into the life-support device to keep the fruit alive.
In this way, even delicate fruits such as lychees and longans can have their shelf life extended to about 15 days.
On the other hand, the application of this technology also allows fruit plantations to extend the picking cycle while ensuring the flavor of the fruit.
Compared with the previous black plums and kiwis, this thing is not bad , but in order to ensure transportation, the fruit has to be picked before it is fully ripe, and customers don’t know much about it, which makes its taste hard to describe.
Many fruits face this problem and must make a trade-off between transportation resistance and flavor.
Now, Haitian Agriculture of Zhiren Company is working hard to improve the contradiction between transportation resistance and fruit flavor.
For example, use special professional boxes, which are specially designed and must be reusable.
For example, using a special nano spray to spray vegetables and fruits with smooth surfaces can form a layer of nano coating. Under the protection of the coating, the shelf life can be effectively extended by 7 to 15 days.
This nano-coating can be directly washed with water and decomposed into harmless common natural components.
Through these technological innovations, the loss of vegetables and fruits in transportation and warehousing within Zhiren Company has been reduced by 92% and 97% respectively.
The currently connected internal railway network has further shortened the distance between various origins and consumers.
This improvement is an improvement of the entire system.
There are various benefits to production efficiency, production costs, and sales costs.
This means that consumers can buy cheaper, more abundant and more delicious fruits and vegetables in the market.
The train quickly passed through the southern part of Luzon, then crossed Mindoro and Palawan, and finally arrived in Sandakan City in Borneo.
Lilith got off the car here with a group of reporters.
Go up from the underground station to the ground station.
Seeing the sun in the sky, Robert, Wu Qingli, Mitsui and others quickly determined the location, which was the city of Sandakan in Borneo.
And Lilith will take them to the north side of the city to visit another civilian technology application that is about to be announced.
