Synthetic Food

Professor Surya looked at Dimas seriously while Dimas was still looking at fertility-enhancing research conducted on a cow in which the gospel cow would later be mated with another cow to see if the possibility to reproduce had been escalated.

"Actually I have a formula for making these synthetic foods, I've also made them for myself and the effect is pretty decent, with this synthetic food you will be full for a full day without eating anything else. In the next few months plans for the evacuation of the population on other islands will be carried out immediately, the soldiers of course need to prepare a lot of food either for them or for the residents who evacuated. A serving of synthetic food may not be as big as a piece of bread but it is enough to keep a person full for a day, so if they replace the food supplies that have to be brought with these synthetic foods then they can provide food for more people and the soldiers can last longer in search and evacuation" Dimas expressed his thoughts to professor Dimas and explained the reasons and benefits of this synthetic food.

Professor Surya was quite surprised by what Dimas said but because it was often made shocked by Dimas made professor Surya more quickly adapt and return to calm in a few seconds.

"What are the side effects of these synthetic foods? Like a digestive problem or something?" Ask professor Surya.

With such great benefits to humans today if these foods had a fatal deficiency the Surya professor would not agree with Dimas and would ask Dimas to eliminate or reduce such side effects. In addition, if production costs are not appropriate, mass production will be temporarily delayed until other materials are found that can provide similar effects but are cheaper.

Dimas nodded acknowledging the lack in these synthetic foods "Synthetic foods actually have a deficiency in terms of taste, taste tasteless and have a jelly-like texture. Actually this problem can be solved by adding some food flavorings but I do not know if everyone will be able to survive eating something like jelly for a long time. For the production cost itself I think the necessary thing is still very cheap, the seeds that we have developed previously have begun to be planted and with a fast harvest period of at least a month these seeds will produce raw materials for the manufacture of synthetic food" 

Dimas answers all of Surya's doubts on synthetic food and gets Surya's professor excited.

"Give me that formula, I'll ask someone to make it immediately and see if this synthetic food is suitable for emergency food and also our military rations in the future" said professor Surya.

Dimas nodded and then sent a synthetic food formula to professor Surya through a quantum communication device already connected to his particular watch. Professor Surya by directly receiving the formula sent by Dimas and directly read the formula carefully. The more professor Surya read the formula the more interested he was in the finished product produced by this formula.

"Let's go back first, I want to print this formula and immediately let some scientists make synthetic food according to this formula" Professor Surya said with great enthusiasm.

"Well" Dimas agreed with professor Surya.

Professor Surya then returned to his room along with Dimas, he found a printer and printed this formula and then called someone to immediately make synthetic food according to the formula. Not long after professor Surya made the call by relying on the intranet network in the laboratory, the door of Surya's room was knocked. Professor Surya let her in, That person is a woman of about 24 years or 25 years and looks very nervous at the moment.

"Miss Susan, I have a formula here that requires you to make it" Professor Surya took out a newly printed formula from the printer and showed it to this young scientist named Susan.

Professor Surya shook his head "No need to research, just make it according to this formula"

The scientist named Susan nodded and took the paper containing the formula and left the room to make synthetic food in the formula. Dimas was quite surprised by professor Surya who chose someone who was young and looked not too experienced to make the synthetic food, because even though this synthetic food formula is very simple, it is still quite difficult to make products that meet the standards.

Professor Surya noticed Dimas's hesitation just smiled and said "Don't underestimate Miss Susan because she's one of the youngest scientists here, in fact her skills are almost the same as those of my age, in addition, compared to her 24 years old, you are 7 years younger than her and have become one of the important figures in the country"

Hearing the words of professor Surya made Dimas smile awkwardly because what Surya said was the right thing. The two talked about spending a few hours waiting for Miss Susan to bring synthetic food for professor Surya to try.

A few hours later the door of the room was knocked back, professor Surya who was currently reading a biology research paper while listening to an explanation from Dimas frowned. Professor Surya stopped his studies and let the man in, it turned out that it was Miss Susan who had a small tray in her hand.

Both Dimas and professor Surya knew that the one in the tray must be a synthetic food that had been made by this Miss Susan.

"Put it down here" said professor Surya as he cleared up some papers scattered on the table so that it had room to put the tray.

Miss Susan placed the tray in the place provided by professor Surya and opened the cover that protected the contents of the tray. The tray contains a jelly-like object that is cut to a smaller size than a cell phone and there are dozens of them in the tray.

"Solar Professor, do you intend to change my career from a scientist to a chef? At first I didn't know what I was making but after seeing the end result it just became a jelly" Miss Susan said with a slight annoyance to professor Surya.

Dimas is not old to say what to this Miss Susan, even though synthetic food is food that can satiate a person without but the end result is like ordinary jelly.

"You'd better try first if it's plain jelly or something new" After long thinking about what to say, Dimas could only allow this Miss Susan to eat it first.

One of the synthetic foods on the tray was taken first by professor Surya, he bit the jelly-like synthetic food with a large bite that directly consumed a quarter of it. The synthetic food was tasteless but when professor Surya ate it after a while a feeling of fullness came from his stomach. Miss Susan also took one piece of synthetic food and bit her with a small bite, a feeling of fullness coming from her stomach as felt by professor Surya before.
