Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1094 Advanced East China Sea Technology

After-meal tea is usually served in a more relaxed tea room.

Shangluo sat on a wider and softer chair, with a cup of black tea with a drip tray next to him and a grid-shaped tray for snacks, with four small porcelain plates on the tray.

The porcelain plate contains side dishes to go with tea, including buttered abalone with soft flesh, steamed Haozhou lobster back, sour sauce salad with sea cucumber and ginkgo, and shrimp soaked in Longjing tea.

Shangluo picked up a piece of soft-boiled abalone.
"Wow, is this really the taste of abalone? It's so soft and sticky, like rice cake."

"Only one piece of the runny core was scooped out of the whole abalone, so of course it's very soft." Zheng Shijie also took a bite, "Well, it must be a pretty big piece to scoop out such a uniform runny core. Our Lord Ao Zang really spent a lot of money. Although seafood is not very valuable to him, such a big abalone is quite valuable according to the market price - he gave one to you, me, and your friends."

"Ahhh!" Han Xingzhi originally wanted to wave his hand to decline the dish, but when he saw the dish in front of him, his eyes lit up, "I think I can eat this abalone! Is this abalone a spirit? Are we eating abalone spirit?"

The banquet just now was a torture for him. He could only eat a few things, such as a few bowls of soup. He could hardly eat anything that Shangluo could eat. After all, it was almost the same as what he ate at home, and the portion was even smaller.

But he could actually eat all four dishes in front of him!
"You never know if it's possible." Wen Yuan also took a bite. "I've eaten bird's nest and shark's fin banquets with my grandfather. They eat it quite often. This is the first time I've eaten abalone of this quality as a cold dish. It's really the court in the sea, and there's plenty of food in the sea - if it's really an abalone spirit, don't you feel disgusted?"

"I'll just eat it! I want more! As long as it's edible, I don't care whether it's a deer goblin or a wild boar goblin. It would be best if there were more. I'll eat them all!"

"Tsk—" Ao Zang, who was sitting over there drinking tea, suddenly laughed. After Prime Minister Turtle was arrested by Shangluo with just one sentence, he had been very serious. Only when he saw Han Xingzhi's appetite was opened did he finally relax the tension in his mind.

"???" He smiled like that, and Han Xingzhi's mind became tense, "Your Excellency Dragon King, what did I just eat?"

"Guess? It's not a wild boar demon anyway."

"If it's not a wild boar demon, then it can't be a human. It can't be a human demon!"

"Puff!" Shangluo was eating lobster and this bite almost made him bite his tongue.

He quickly stopped and asked Ao Zang: "So King Ao Zang, what exactly is this? Isn't it a real abalone?"

"Yes." Zheng Shijie was also surprised, "This tastes exactly the same as real abalone."

"Ahhh!" Phaethon understood immediately, "This is simulated food!!!"

"Hey, there's someone knowledgeable here." Ao Zang also took a bite himself.

"Wait, what is this?" Shangluo asked.

"You've eaten it before. Didn't you eat it on the submarine? They opened a plate and there was everything on it."

"Isn't that something that can only be achieved in a special space? That submarine is a small, enclosed world. I remember that similar food can be eaten in Cyberlania, but those foods are just illusions after all. But what's in front of me is real?"

Phaethon nodded: "I find it strange too. As far as I know, those simulated foods cannot appear in the mortal world. Is that right?" She asked Apollonia for confirmation.

[As far as I know, that's the case. But here, these foods appear normally in the sun, and are eaten normally by you. And Shangluo, if this thing is really dangerous, you can feel it, right? ]

"I really don't see how this thing is dangerous." Shangluo answered truthfully, "So, King Ao Zang, how did you do it? How did you get this thing from Rome?"

"This is part of a series of transactions between us [Eastern Sea] and [Western Sea], that is, Atlantis. We just took it to the next level: the outdated Atlantean technology used metabits to shape these objects, and the essence of metabits is illusion. Our advanced Eastern Sea technology uses mirages instead of metabits. Mirages are gas, and they are entities, so you can all eat them."

"So what I just ate was a mirage? Was it the northwest wind?" Shangluo asked.

"Well, to be precise, it's seaweed. These are special seaweeds grown in mirage. 95% of the main components are water and 5% are mirage."

"Is there any nutrition in that?"

"No." Ao Zang answered bluntly, "Although it tastes good, it doesn't have any nutritional value - of course, it can replenish water. As for the mirage, it will be gone after you burp after eating it."

"Ah," Han Xingzhi leaned back, "It turned out to be fake, it turned out to be a mirage. I thought I had found a way to fill myself up. Now that you mention it, I feel like my stomach is starting to get hungry."

"Oh right." Shangluo asked Ao Zang, "Does the food made from mirage have any flaws? For example, is it afraid of light?"

"It is indeed not afraid of light. The stronger the light, the clearer the image of the mirage will be. But mirages are afraid of heat. If you eat them, they will decompose immediately."

"Ah," Shangluo looked at the four small plates next to him, "So they are all cold dishes, right?"

"Yes, so we can only make cold dishes, not hot dishes. In fact, at the banquet just now, many cold dishes were mixed with mirage. You didn't taste it, which shows that our little trick is still quite promising. If Shang Tianjun is interested, we can give him these mirage snacks every day in the future."

"Why don't you give me the machine that makes the mirage!"

"Ah, this." He was too direct, so Ao Zang was not able to react for a moment. "No, Lord Shang Tian, ​​it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that these mirages are not made by machines."

"What is that made of?"

"Mirage gas, mirage gas, as the name suggests, it is made of mirages. Specifically, the bubbles spit out by the mirage girls in the Dragon Palace - don't worry, Shang Tianjun, these mirage gas are all colorful bubbles made by young mirage girls. But if Shang Tianjun really wants it, it's not impossible for us to send a mirage girl to your house -"

"No, no, no, that's not necessary." Shangluo shook his head fiercely. "If I want to eat, I'd better go to the store. Oh, by the way, do you have a store?"

Ao Zang's eyes immediately lit up: "Shang Tianjun, I was just about to tell you this: since you, Shang Tianjun, have judged it to be very safe after eating it, can you let Dragon Palace also provide such mirage food in the restaurant of Yiluhua Department Store in Yingtian?"
