Interstellar Food Scientist

Cheng Mian transmigrated to a planet with highly advanced technology and an ecosystem that had long since collapsed. There, she became a beleaguered doctoral student at the Life Sciences Research Institute of Green JJ University, researching the cloning of plants and animals that had gone extinct across the universe.

Cabbages and tomatoes, commonplace in 21st-century supermarkets, had become top-tier scientific achievements worthy of the cover of Nature. Humanity, accustomed to chemical nutrient solutions, knew nothing about whether these "ancient lifeforms" were edible. Even eating a cabbage required four phases of clinical trials.

Cheng Mian, so hungry she could feel her stomach against her spine: I can't worry about that. There are so many instruments in the lab. Molecular cuisine is easy!

She turned on the water bath, prepared sodium chloride and yeast extract, grabbed a pipette and centrifuge tubes, and got to work!

The senior student, who's been held back from graduating, shrieked: "Ah! What are you doing? How can you waste such a precious lifeform like this? I can't afford another delay in graduating!!!"

Later: "It's so good!"

The food was delicious. Thanks to her recipes, her work became a cover article in Nature Communications, and she graduated and landed a faculty position. Even better!

With her practiced lab (cooking) skills and extensive knowledge of ancient Earth lifeforms, Cheng Mian published multiple cover articles in top journals and joined the cutting-edge tech unicorn of the age, Jinjiang Biofoods, as its CTO.

CEO: "It's getting cold. Time to bankrupt that company next door that's monopolizing the nutrient-solution market and bullying my Cheng Mian."

#The writing style depends on how the author feels that day

#Logic is dead! This is all about eating, eating, eating!
