“Wow…”

It had just grown into the grass half a human tall, and suddenly a head was exposed. It had big eyes and long fluff, and its body was gray and white, as if it was losing its hair.

I looked around and felt that there was no danger before I retracted into the grass. My two short legs began to dig hard on the ground. I didn't have time to dig out a bulb the size of a pineapple.

Just as the long-haired monster was about to move the bulb away, suddenly a life came from a distance. The long-haired monster quickly shrank and got into the dead grass next to it.

The dried weeds last winter have not been covered by the new green, and the long-haired monster is covered with the newly grown yellow-gray fur, which is really not conspicuous at all when it penetrates the dead grass.

"I found an earless rabbit." The one-eyed dragon said softly.

"Where? Let's take a look." Chen Zheng stretched out his hand to pass the infrared detector in the one-eyed dragon's hand, and held it in front of him like a telescope to see it.

"To the right, under the clover tree, there is a heat source."

According to the one-eyed dragon, Chen Zheng quickly found the place where the earless rabbit hiding in front of him.

"You're here?" Chen Zheng asked with a spear throwing spear.

“…”

The one-eyed dragon shrugged, took Chen Zheng's spear, estimated the distance and position, and then threw it out!

"puff!"

The earless rabbit jumped high with its spear on its body, then fell heavily... and lay on the grass and twitched for a few times before it stopped moving.

Chen Zheng held an infrared detector like a telescope to observe the movements around him. The one-eyed dragon walked over by himself and picked up the dead prey on the ground.

“Huh?”

The one-eyed dragon made a surprise sound, then bent down and picked up something, carrying the earless rabbit that was bigger than a dog in his left hand, and walked back with the tubers that were even connected to the leaves in his right hand.

"What is that?" Chen Zheng took the pineapple-sized thing and looked carefully.

Its skin is a little purple-red and has circles of patterns similar to annual rings. The leaves above the rhizomes look like a broad-leaved plant similar to "Dripping Water Guanyin".

Chen Zheng was confused and asked, "Is there any water source nearby?"

“Yes, a stream.”

"Oh." Chen Zheng nodded, looked at the tuber plants in his hand, then looked at the rabbit held by the one-eyed dragon, and suddenly asked, "Is this what it dug out?"

"It should be, it's earthy or fresh."

"Well, let's go and take it back for testing and see if it can be eaten." Chen Zheng didn't even look at the rabbit in the hands of the one-eyed dragon, but instead seemed very interested in what the rabbit ate.

“…”

What vegetarian food should I eat if I don’t have meat?

One-eyed dragon is very confused... However, he is no longer surprised by Chen Zheng's strange habits, so he didn't ask.

However, how can these aliens understand the Chinese people's tireless pursuit of food?

Chen Zheng looked very good along the way, and he had a smile on his face when he returned to the adventure car.

The director of the vehicle laboratory put down a bird similar to a pheasant, took the earless rabbit from the one-eyed dragon and was busy with Qimeng again.

"... There is no sign of corruption in this..." The supervisor wiped his sweat and reported to Chen Zheng without even drinking saliva.

"Oh, how many samples have been tested?" Chen Zheng asked, handing him a glass of water.

"Twenty-one, there is no sign of corruption." The supervisor nodded and drank it. After drinking enough, he said, "The samples in this area are enough... Do you want to notify them to come back?"

"Not busy." Chen Zheng handed him the pineapple-sized tuber plant in his hand and asked: "See if this thing is poisonous and can it be eaten..."

"Oh..." The supervisor was stunned when he looked at the tubers. Although the plants were not the target of their data collection this time, since the boss had ordered it, he would do it.

After slicing and testing it, after more than twenty minutes of busyness, the supervisor left the test bench again.

"There are no common toxins, no common toxic protein components...but there is some volatile oil. What can be determined temporarily is that it has a certain irritating odor, but this substance does not seem to have any direct harm to human tissues."

"Where is the level?" Chen Zheng thought for a while and asked.

"My experimental equipment is not perfect, considering the possibility of stability... it should be around P15 level. Of course, this is just a preliminary conclusion. After returning to the base for further argumentation, it is likely that this is not the result..."

The supervisor is very stingy in language that gives certainty, which is not only to shirk responsibility, but also comes from academic rigor.

"So it can be put into the lytic machine?"

The fermentation machine that Chen Zheng mentioned is the food manufacturing module installed on the C-type camp car. Its function is to use special fermentation bacteria to ferment and decompose the fibers, polysaccharides, proteins or other ingredients of the food, and then extract glucose, amino acids and various trace elements.

Of course, such decomposition, filtration and extraction cannot be 100% extracted from all active ingredients, nor can it be filtered out all harmful ingredients. Therefore, the food produced by this fermentation process will have a strange taste.

Since the elements in the product cannot be fully controlled, there is a special toxicity rating.

P5 is the best raw material, and its metering is almost completely harmless to the body of the earthlings.

P5 to P10 are ordinary raw materials, which are slightly harmful to the bodies of people on earth. Foods with preservatives are almost the same as this standard.

Food after P10 begins to become unusable, such as mold, odor, and even trace toxins, which are basically distributed between P10 and P15. If you eat it directly, you will have diarrhea at the least, and you will have to stay in the hospital at the worst.

What comes after P15 is something more toxic, so I won't go into details here.

Generally speaking, after the raw materials behind P15 are processed, they can reach the level behind P10 - the harmfulness is comparable to foods with excessive preservatives and additives, and overall they can still be eaten.

If you want to process it to an edible level with a higher level, that cost is too high. If it weren't for a planet with too scarce supplies, you wouldn't have made such a choice.

For civilizations with mature alien development experience, it is actually not impossible to produce completely harmless food. But just like the foods with organic and green labels in supermarkets, the cost is too high and the cost is too high.

Relatively speaking, the Rising Star Trail Blazers are not rich in funds and their lives are relatively cheap. Whether it is a real Trail Blazers or hired adventurers, a leach machine can solve most of the supply problems.
