12. This chapter on the tip of the tongue can be eaten

After capturing the smugglers of Dubraque-Quento, things were quiet again for more than a week, and the colony was steadily developing.

The number of mining stations built around the gas giant has grown to four, providing the mothership with a large amount of helium-3 fuel for fusion reactors.However, there are only four modular mining stations in the mothership. If you want to build a new mining station, you need to build it yourself. Fortunately, there is no shortage of metal resources in the galaxy. At present, some metal asteroids have been used by the mother ship. The ship was captured and decomposed and refined.

In addition, three of the nine moons surrounding the gas giant planet, also called Endor, are rich in various metallic minerals.Now the engineering department is working overtime to build an interstellar mining farm on one of the asteroids to provide raw materials for construction in space.

The same is true for the colony on the ground. Now the colony above Dawn Star has built 1000 modular 2-story residential buildings, the number of residents has increased to more than 1700, and the entire colony can already accommodate 10000 residents.

Daphne Clement of the Administration Department is constantly choosing the right residents to wake up and send them to Dawn to join the construction work. By the way, Gulaham is no longer the mayor of the village. He was just promoted to the township just yesterday. long.

The biggest problem now is that the first is the pressure on jobs brought about by the rapid population growth, and the second is that there are not enough transport ships to and from the mothership and Dawnstar.There are only five small transport ships on the mothership, and each transport ship can only carry 5 passengers or 100 tons of cargo at one time, which is far from meeting the demand.

Moreover, this transport ship is about 30 meters long and belongs to the level of light frigates, and cannot be built on the production line built into the mothership.To build more transport ships, a small space dock must be built, and although construction has already begun, even if the mother ship is equipped with modular materials, it will take another week to complete a construction of this scale.

What's worse is that one of the transport ships should have left some faults when it crossed before the mother ship.

These things have made Tang Xiao devastated. When the colony first started construction, there were not many problems. Now the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the problems are getting more and more.In the past few days, he has no time to think about the "Star Wars" plot and other issues, all of which are constantly going back and forth between Dawn Star and the mothership, making various decisions.

However, the benefits of doing this are obvious. He has been instilled with all kinds of knowledge in his mind. After this period of use, he has developed a lot, and he is familiar with many tasks.

If it was more than a week ago, when he hadn't crossed yet and was just an ordinary college graduate, who would tell him that he could manage such a growing interstellar colony, Tang Xiao must have thought that person was talking about science fiction plot.

But now things have developed to this point... Am I traveling through science fiction?Tang Xiao looked up at the sky, wondering if he could see the author's handsome face.

In short, under the leadership of Tang Xiao, the colony is still developing in an orderly manner.They set up hunting teams, so that the marines can accumulate experience in actual combat, and they can also supplement the colony with meat...

Find mines on Dawnstar to mine lime, coal and metal raw materials...

Open up farms, fruit fields to grow native plants, and build closed hydroponic farms to grow rice, wheat, corn and other crops brought from the mothership.

Build steel mills, cement plants, sewage treatment plants, power stations, metal refining, parts processing, and more.

There is also building roads, ground spaceports, and laying pipelines and fiber optic cables.

And the hardest step - sewage.Because on this original ecological planet, it is very difficult to plan how to discharge waste water from factories and how to discharge domestic sewage.

The biggest problem is that 95% of the area of ​​Dawn Planet is ground, so most of the water bodies are underground, which also brings great difficulties to sewage.The modular sewage treatment plant carried on the mothership has limited treatment capacity, and the problem now is that more and larger sewage treatment plants need to be built...

Moreover, Tang Xiao now began to have an inexplicable feeling for this planet. After all, when he awakened the force, he was breathing the air here and feeling his own nature. He didn't want to destroy the beauty here.Even speaking, it became a fetter.

So when I visited the colony once and saw that the residents were building sewage pipelines, Tang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After returning to the mothership, he began to discuss a very serious issue with Daphne Clemente very seriously: he It is planned to build a giant shit collector on the mountain next to the colony to collect all the sewage and manure, and then build a dam to use the manure to generate electricity.

It's not unfounded for him to think so, because he has done this in a certain game before.He thought that since even the spaceships in the game can be brought into reality, the shit collector that can be realized in the game should also be possible.

However, Clement was directly terrified. She desperately suppressed the urge to grab Tang Xiao to check her brain, and told her manager seriously that it was impossible in reality, because you pumped feces into The energy spent on the mountain is already much larger than the electricity used to generate it, and the pressure of the dung water is not enough to drive the turbines of the dam, and there are too many impurities in it and it is easy to block.

After all, you don't know if someone is constipated, right?

In addition, seasonal issues must be considered. What if the fecal water in the feces collector freezes in winter?So you still need a heating device, right?It's all cost!
In order to strengthen the persuasion, Clement also arrested Guan Yan, an energy expert who was eating, to explain that Guan Yan was innocent, although she immediately vomited all the lunch she had just eaten after hearing this topic. But she still worked very hard to help Clement convince Tang Xiao.

Seeing that this road would not work, Tang Xiao, who had already entered a certain state of bewilderment, asked them how many water purification plants would be needed to filter the feces into drinking water?
Clement and the others were stunned by Tang Xiao's brain hole. They brought Qu Xuewen and Feng Yongwang together, and together with several experts to persuade them painstakingly, Tang Xiao abandoned the idea of ​​dung water power generation and recycling. He didn't let himself drift further away on the road to being shot.

This interesting topic still had to come to a conclusion, so they continued to discuss for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the giant feces collector can really be built, in fact, it is a super dirty (feces) water Although the cost of the processing center is a bit high, it seems that it can really solve the problem of sewage on this planet, which is mostly groundwater.

Of course, the feces collector cannot be built on the mountain, otherwise it will be fun once the embankment bursts, and it will directly flood the city with feces.

Tang Xiao immediately made the decision, and every city will have to repair the central shit collector in the future!These concentrated manure water can not only be used for fertilization after treatment, but also maintain law and order when necessary, right?

They finally decided to set up the Department of Public Health to handle this.When he made this decision, Tang Xiao had no idea that he had created the most terrifying department in the history of the galaxy.

However, Tang Xiao quickly disengaged from this tasteful topic. At this moment, he was happily stirring a bowl of mushy chocolate with a spoon, eating a spoonful from time to time, while talking to an elite who had just woken up. Sociologists discuss a very important topic.

There were no snacks on the mothership, so Tang Xiao could only use this semi-finished product to satisfy his cravings.

"Administrators, the thing we have to think about now is the cohesion of the colony. We are small at the moment, and it is good that everyone is around you. But if you continue to develop, it will not be enough, you Take a look at my proposal..." The sociologist named Norris Barry said to Tang Xiao earnestly.

At this time, Guan Yan, who was carrying a lunch box, passed by, saw Tang Xiao, and said casually: "Ah, you are here, manager, by the way, the analysis of the infrared laser weapon is very smooth, and it should be possible. Early. We'll have our first weapons test this afternoon, are you going?"

"Ah, no problem, I'll go in the afternoon." Tang Xiao replied that he had completed the preliminary analysis of the infrared laser weapon in more than a week. He felt that he should praise her a few words, but he suddenly got stuck and didn't know what to say. What, so I picked up the mushy chocolate in my hand and said to Guan Yan, "Do you want to eat it?"

Seeing the sticky bowl and being stirred into a spiral-like brown object by Tang Xiao, Guan Yan's face turned dark and quickly refused, "Uh, no, I have no appetite..."

"Ah, what a pity, this is delicious." Tang Xiao shook his head regretfully, stirred it in the bowl again, and then scooped out a big spoon sticky and put it in his mouth to eat.

Guan Yan's face changed from black to green, and he didn't want the lunch in his hand, so he turned around and ran away.
