Hearing Guan Hui's explanation, a flash of excitement crossed Liu Ye'er's eyes. She asked eagerly, "Does this mean we won't have to work hard farming the fields anymore in the future?"
Hearing this, Guan Hui smiled, shook his head, and patiently explained to her, "Farming will still be an indispensable part of our lives. Although our Atomic Synthesizer has a certain capacity for manufacturing food, it still has many limitations. The characteristic of this instrument is that the larger the molecular weight of a substance, the lower its production efficiency.
Admittedly, the performance of the Atomic Synthesizer in purifying metals is astonishing. As long as raw materials and energy supplies are sufficient, it can produce over 200,000 tons of pure iron, pure copper, pure titanium, and various other metals in a single day, and can even synthesize rare materials such as diamond and graphite. In the production of alloys and diamonds, it can also achieve astonishing yields of 100,000 tons and 10,000 tons respectively. However, in terms of synthesizing food, due to technical limitations, the carbon chain length cannot exceed one hundred, so its output is relatively low, producing only about ten tons of food per day. As for the rice, flour, oil, and other daily necessities we need, the yield is even more negligible—only one kilogram per day—showing no obvious advantage compared to traditional farming methods.
