Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

12. This chapter on the tip of your tongue, you can eat.

After catching a group of smugglers from Dubrak Qennto, in the next week or so, everything was calm again, and the colony was developing steadily .

The number of mining stations built around the gas giant planet has grown to four, providing the mothership with a large amount of Helium-3 fuel for its 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.

In addition, 3 of the 9 satellites surrounding this gas giant planet, also called Endor, are rich in various metal minerals. Now people in the Engineering Department are 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 has built 1,000 modular 2-story residential buildings, the number of residents has increased to more than 1,700, and the entire colony can accommodate 10,000 people. residents.

Daphne Clement of the Administrative Department is constantly selecting suitable residents to wake up and send to Dawn to join the construction work.

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 between mothership and Dawn. There are only five small transport ships on the mothership, and each transport ship can only carry 100 passengers or 50 tons of cargo at one time, which is far from meeting the demand.

And this kind of transport ship is about 30 meters long and belongs to the level of light frigate, which cannot be built on the built-in production line of mothership. To build more transport ships, a small space dock must be built, and although construction has already begun, even if the mothership 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 is broken…

These things have made Tang Xiao devastated. When the colony first started construction, there was no big problem. It’s getting bigger and bigger, and the problems are getting bigger and bigger. In the past few days, he simply didn’t have time to think about the [Star Wars] plot, all of which were constantly going back and forth between Dawn 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, it has been developed a lot, and a lot of work has been done with ease. .

If it was more than a week ago, when he hadn’t crossed yet and was just an ordinary college graduate, who would have told him that he could manage such a growing interstellar colony, Tang Xiao must have thought that People are talking about the plot of sci-fi novel.

In short, under the leadership of Tang Xiao, the colony is still developing in an orderly manner. They set up hunting parties to give marines experience in combat and to replenish meat for the colonies…

Look for mines on Dawn 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 on the mothership.

Build steel mills, cement plants, sewage treatment plants, power stations, water plants, and more.

And building roads, airports, laying pipes and wires.

And the most difficult 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 Planet Dawn’s area is land, so most of the water bodies are underground, which also brings great difficulty to sewage.

Because there are no rivers to dispose of sewage, and no oceans to dispose of sewage. If it is discharged into the groundwater network, it is estimated that in less than a year, all creatures on the planet can only drink fecal water.

So once I went to the colony to inspect and saw the residents picking up dung and looking for a place to dispose of it, Tang Xiao felt offended. After returning to the mothership, he began to discuss with Daphne Clement very seriously. A very serious problem: he plans to build a giant shit collector on the hill 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 it in a certain game before. He thought that since even the spaceship 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 Administrator very seriously that in reality, it was impossible, because those feces The pressure is not enough to drive the turbine 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 dung water in the shit collector freezes in winter? So you still need a heating device, right? It’s all cost!

In order to strengthen the persuasion, Clement also caught the energetics expert Guan Yan who was eating and explained that Guan Yan was innocent, although she immediately threw up all the lunch she just ate after hearing this topic came out, but she still tried very hard to help Clement convince Tang Xiao.

Seeing that this road would not work, Tang Xiao asked them how many water purification plants would be needed to purify them repeatedly if they filtered the fecal water into drinking water?

Clement and the others were stunned by Tang Xiao’s brain hole. They recruited Qu Xuewen and Feng Yongwang again. Together with the persuasion of several experts earned and well-meant advised, Tang Xiao finally gave up the feces. The idea of hydropower generation and recycling finally did not let itself drift away on the road of being shot.

This interesting topic still has to come to a conclusion, so they continued to discuss for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the giant shit collector still needs to be built, but it can’t be built on the mountain, Otherwise, once the embankment bursts, it will be fun, and it will directly flood the city with dung.

The purpose of the construction is not to generate electricity, but to facilitate the delivery of this shit to outer space after large interstellar transport ships, such as the two stars in the middle of the Endor Star System.

Then Tang Xiao, who had a big brain hole, raised another topic, that is, when this plan is put into practice, the Endor Star System where Planet Dawn is located will not become surrounded by two groups of shit smells. Stellar running system?

Of course, this is another story, and they finally decided to set up the Public Health Department to handle this matter. When making this decision, Tang Xiao had no idea that he had created the most terrifying department in galaxy history.

However, Tang Xiao quickly disengaged from this savory topic. At this moment, he was happily stirring a bowl of mushy chocolate with a spoon, eating a spoonful every now and then while talking with him. An Elite Sociologist just woken up to discuss a very important topic.

There are no snacks on mothership, Tang Xiao can only use this semifinished product to satisfy his cravings.

“Administrator, the thing we have to think about now is the cohesion of the colony. We’re small at the moment, and it’s good that everyone is around you. But if it continues to grow, This is far from enough, 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, and when he saw Tang Xiao, he said, “Ah, you are here, Administrator, by the way, there is something wrong with the infrared laser weapon. The analysis is very smooth and should be completed ahead of time. We will have the first weapon test in the afternoon, do you want to go?”

“Ah, no problem, I will go in the afternoon.” Tang Xiao replied , he 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, so he picked up the mushy chocolate in his hand and said to Guan Yan, “Eat Is it?”

Seeing the sticky bowl and being stirred into a spiral-like brown object by Tang Xiao, Guan Yan’s face darkened and quickly refused, “Uh, no, I have no appetite… “

“Ah, what a pity, this is delicious.” Tang Xiao regretfully shook ones head, stirred it again in the bowl, and then sticky scooped out a big spoonful and put it in his mouth smacking the eating of lips.

Guan Yan’s face turned from black to green, and he didn’t want the lunch box in his hand. He covered his mouth and turned around and ran away.
