After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 572 So sugar is this amazing?!

"White sugar can enhance the flavor of dishes, allowing the taste to come out better. The acidity of tomatoes in scrambled eggs can be neutralized by adding sugar, making it more suitable for most people's tastes."

The tomatoes I bought from Yinshuo were of good quality; otherwise, I would have needed to add more sugar.

"Usually, some people add ketchup, but I prefer to just add white sugar."

The main reason for adding tomato sauce is that tomatoes themselves don't taste that good.

"However, when I first learned that white sugar could be added to the dishes, I also refused."

In Liang He's mind, sugar represents a strategic resource, not a condiment.

"It is said that a person can live for 7 to 10 days if they only drink water and not eat, but if they have sugar, they can live for more than 20 days. Therefore, during wartime, white sugar is more precious than gold."

Listening to Liang He's explanation, everyone present, except for Xuan Jiao, stared wide-eyed at Liang He in disbelief.

"Really? Sugar has this effect?"

As a federal marshal, Cedril has participated in countless battles.

The Federation, as a backup, usually prepares sufficient nutritional supplements as a reserve of supplies.

However, the effects of nutritional supplements are far less dramatic than those of white sugar; at most, they are equivalent to one meal and can barely sustain one for three or four days.

"Yes, besides white sugar, other products with high sugar content, such as chocolate and sugar cubes, have the same effect."

White sugar can quickly replenish energy and is easy to carry. Compared to nutrient solutions that need to be packaged in small bottles, it is less susceptible to damage on the battlefield.

It even has a much longer shelf life than nutritional supplements.

"No wonder you bought so many chocolates for us last time."

Huo An remembered that when everyone stayed up all night to take care of the animals in the reserve that had been poisoned, Liang He was worried that they would be too weak, so she specially sent them a batch of chocolates to eat when they were hungry. So that's why.

However, it must be admitted that those chocolates not only helped everyone regain their strength in a short time, but they also tasted very good.

"Yes, actually, the uses of white sugar are not limited to this."

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Cedril's scrambled eggs with tomatoes were successfully cooked, and Liang He said a few more words.

"In fact, white sugar, after being boiled and mixed with a certain proportion of potassium nitrate, can also be used to make simple explosives."

Liang He was unfamiliar with the history of interstellar warfare, but for Earth, these were the fruits of the wisdom of their ancestors.

This is also the source of our confidence that allows Earth to unite as one, stand firm in the vast interstellar space, and remain inviolable.

"No way?! Really?"

Xu Yi found it increasingly mysterious.

If he didn't know Liang He's personality, he would definitely have suspected that she was deliberately fooling them.

"Of course it's true. Besides potassium nitrate, if you mix white sugar and potassium chloride, you can also turn it into a simple rocket."

Even though we live in a high-tech battlefield now, we tend to look down on such petty tricks.

But in case of a crisis, these little bits of knowledge can be life-saving, so Liang He is not stingy in sharing this knowledge with everyone.

"There must be a reason why we designate sugar as a strategic resource. So, in addition to replenishing energy and making gunpowder, it can also be used temporarily to treat wounds and help them heal."

However, this is a method that can only be used in extreme circumstances.

Liang He repeatedly reminded them not to use sugar to treat their wounds out of curiosity. Only after they all nodded obediently did she feel relieved enough to continue.

"In daily life, industrial-grade white sugar can also be used in many fields such as sewage treatment, cleaning agents, and construction, and it is very useful."

"Wow, it's that amazing?!"

Just as Liang He was speaking enthusiastically, the king and his companions, who were very hungry, came to see if they could help. However, they were surprised to hear Liang He's explanation and their eyes lit up with delight.

"Liang He, can we buy a large quantity of white sugar from Blue Star?!"

The interstellar community was unaware of how white sugar was made; otherwise, they wouldn't have only realized its usefulness when Liang He mentioned it.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Sugar has a significant impact on economic development on Earth, and as a strategic resource, Earth naturally needs to strictly control the export of sugar.

Therefore, it was obvious that the king's desire to make large-scale purchases was impossible.

"Would it be possible to share the method for making that white sugar? I'd be willing to pay!"

The king's mention of compensation was certainly not limited to money. As the ruler of the empire, the king's power was greater than one might imagine.

"I don't know about that. Perhaps we should ask our supreme commander on Earth."

Liang He knew absolutely nothing about politics.

Unable to answer the king, Liang He cast an apologetic glance at him.

"Alright, stop making things difficult for Xiaohe. She's still just a child."

Sensing Liang He's helplessness, the Queen nudged the King with her elbow and rolled her eyes.

It has been said that it is a strategic material. When it comes to matters related to war, there are only a few people who can make decisions. What kind of behavior is it to make things difficult for a young girl?

"Huh? Oh, Xiao He, that's not what I meant, don't mind me."

Reminded by his wife, the king came to his senses and gave Liang He an apologetic smile.

"No, I understand."

Liang He smiled in response, not taking the king's words to heart.

If she were in the king's shoes, knowing that such useful strategic resources existed, she would definitely want to possess them as well.

This is human nature.

Moreover, the king did not use his power to oppress her, but asked her in a consultative tone, which already showed Liang He a lot of respect.

"As for what you mentioned, I can ask around for you."

However, whether the supreme commander of Blue Star agrees or not is none of Liang He's business.

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you to ask for me."

Upon hearing this, the king didn't even have time to think about how Liang He was able to contact the supreme commander of Blue Star, and hurriedly agreed with a smile, asking for her help.

On the contrary, Duke Kuang Lin and Madam Ye An, who were watching from the side, exchanged a tacit glance and became even more curious about Liang He's identity.

"Ahem, um... excuse me, is the steamed dish ready yet?"

As they were talking, the tall Holder suddenly appeared, pointed in the direction of the steamer, and looked at Liang He with anticipation.

The various aromas wafting from the steamer had already overwhelmed him.

"When the time comes, it's fine."

The steamer was set with a timer. Liang He glanced at it from afar and saw that the set time had arrived, so she nodded to Holder.

Then, Liang He looked at the king and his entourage.

"Uncle and Aunt, the food is ready. You can go back to the dining room now."

There were many people coming and going carrying dishes, and Liang He was afraid of accidentally bumping into them or burning them.

"it is good!"

The queen had already smelled the aroma of the food, and her long-starved stomach was already protesting. She hurriedly pulled the king away from the kitchen.

Seeing this, Duke Kuanglin and Madam Ye An also left, so as not to cause trouble for the children.

Soon, a table full of delicious food appeared in the restaurant, making the king and his entourage swallow their saliva.

"Can we...start eating now?"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
