Zhan Siyu knocked on the door, pushed it open, and went inside. He saw Ye Chaoqun and Ouyang Qian discussing the taste of the ingredients.
“It seems there really is a fundamental difference, right? Is it really because of the soil? They even smell different, let alone taste!” Ye Chaoqun said.
Ouyang Qian nodded and said, "I've also used Rose Star ingredients to cook at home, and the taste was indeed unsatisfactory, or rather, quite unpalatable!"
Upon hearing Ouyang Qian mention the ingredients she had prepared at home, Nan Haochen raised his hand, as if he had something to say.
"I have the right to speak on this. Back then, Qianqian made scrambled eggs with tomatoes at home, and my sister also made a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes at the same time!"
"Qianqian didn't put the wrong seasonings on purpose, the taste is absolutely amazing..."
"And then the scrambled eggs my sister made tasted absolutely divine!"
"Later, I was definitely the one who finished the bad portion!"
Nan Haochen was helpless, but no matter how bad the food his wife made was, he would definitely swallow it in one gulp.
After all, they were people who had escaped from the apocalypse, and they couldn't bring themselves to waste food.
Ye Chaoqun smiled with his head down, but the smile quickly faded.
If the ingredients and seasonings on Rose Star are so different, wouldn't it be impossible to replicate the deliciousness of Water Blue Star?
He knew there were ingredients and fields in the space where they could grow food, but if they wanted to develop and expand the cuisine of Blue Star on Rose Star, the space alone would not be enough.
They need to make sure the soil on Rose Star can grow the same plants so that they can expand their business.
"It doesn't have to be that pessimistic, does it?" Nan Xiangwan said.
Just when everyone was feeling somewhat desperate, Nan Xiangwan's words drew everyone's attention away from her.
Zhan Siyu, who was standing at the door, was also very curious, so he turned his gaze to Nan Xiangwan's face.
Everyone seemed to feel hopeless, but as long as Nan Xiangwan was there, it was as if there was a pillar of stability.
"Sister Nan, you always seem so confident. To be honest, apart from you and your brother-in-law, it seems like no one else is really confident about this!"
"Yes, this is, after all, a problem with the planet's soil. But the problem with soil isn't just about the soil itself; it also includes water quality, microorganisms, and various natural cycles!"
"If we really want to improve the soil, we'll probably have to change the entire natural world!"
"This is something no ordinary person could do."
This is why Nangong Chen and Ye Chaonan are worried. After studying for so long, they discovered that the various creatures on this planet are very different from those on the Blue Planet.
They may look different, but the most important differences lie in the plant's genes and the microorganisms in the soil.
Although Zhan Siyu stood at the door without saying anything, he agreed with what Ye Chaonan said.
This is precisely why the Home Project faces so many difficulties; it's not something that can be easily transformed.
The modification of just the soil microbiome alone has already required a great deal of effort.
Moreover, the water quality on Rose Star is different, and the natural cycle also causes some subtle changes.
Zhan Siyu also sighed silently, but Nan Xiangwan seemed very confident, and he was quite curious about Nan Xiangwan's answer.
Nan Xiangwan then said, "You may not have much confidence in the Homestead Project, but when we first arrived on Rose Star, we received a basket of ingredients. Have you forgotten?"
"The ingredients at the time included cucumbers, peas, tomatoes, and eggs. The food we made back then, let alone tasted, smelled really weird!"
"But now, feel the taste of these ingredients. Don't they also have that fresh vegetable aroma?"
Hearing Nan Xiangwan say this, everyone picked up the crops beside them and gently sniffed them.
Although it doesn't smell as good as the food on Earth, it certainly doesn't have that unpleasant smell.
This proves that Zhan Siyu's experimental project has indeed made progress, and very quickly at that.
They only needed three months to change the growth cycle of the soil microbiome to obtain crops that were completely different from before.
This proves that the soil of Rose Star can be utilized to the fullest extent, only requiring some microbial modification of the soil.
"Yes, actually, most microorganisms in nature are pretty much the same. It's just that population changes lead to different tastes when grown!"
"So my brother-in-law's research project has always been about changes in the number of microorganisms in the soil!"
"It's called soil improvement research, but frankly speaking, it's just research on microorganisms!"
Nan Haochen has been involved in the homestead project and soil improvement plan, so he can certainly explain the essence of Zhan Siyu's research project.
This perfectly aligns with what Nan Xiangwan just said, leaving absolutely no suspense.
Based on Nan Haochen's analysis, Nan Xiangwan smiled and gave a conclusion.
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I wanted to tell you, this is the answer we can come to next…”
"Since such results can be achieved in three months, altering the growth cycle of plants and producing crops with different flavors, it proves that A-Zhan's research is very valuable!"
"So we don't need to be discouraged at all. Just the fact that the old general knows this is enough to keep our research going!"
To put it bluntly, Nan Xiangwan actually still has confidence in Zhan Siyu.
All his information came from Zhan Siyu, that is beyond doubt.
Zhan Siyu, who was standing at the door, laughed heartily upon hearing these words.
Everyone was both happy and helpless, as they had been caught off guard and suddenly had to witness a huge display of affection.
"Are you kidding me? This is just like being caught off guard, getting fed another dose of PDA."
“That’s right, Sister Nan, we all know how much confidence you have in your husband, we all know!” Ye Chaoqun said.
Nan Xiangwan just smiled helplessly and did not refute what they said.
Zhan Siyu knocked on the door at that moment and then came in.
"What are they all talking about? It sounds like it's quite lively," Zhan Siyu said.
The people around them burst into laughter. Since the person involved had already come over, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"We didn't talk about much, just how my sister praised my brother-in-law!" Nan Haochen said, looking a little speechless.
