After installing the irrigation and drainage pipes, disinfect and sterilize the planting cabin, you can pour the synthetic soil in your hand into the prefabricated tank for leveling treatment, and then install the lighting, internal and external gas exchange pipes and filter pipes. There is a simple airtight cabin structure for access.

Since the only things he plans to plant are cabbage and potatoes, more and more complex plant monitoring and auxiliary equipment are unnecessary, and he does not have relevant materials and blueprints.

"Huh~" Xia Lin wiped off her sweat, and looked at the 20-meter-long and 6-meter-wide aisle in front of her, showing a satisfied expression of about an acre of farmland, "Farming is really difficult."

I don’t know if the farmers in the past would spit at him when they heard this sentence—why are you making this difficult?The soil is a sterile soil with synthetic organic matter adjusted to a balanced state. The atmospheric environment, temperature, irrigation and drainage are automatically monitored. You don’t even need to cultivate land. You only need to pour the soil in the bag into the planting tank, and then make them dry. Soft and smooth is fine.

For such a simple job, if you switch to a professional farming family, it will not be difficult at all to complete dozens of acres of land for you in one go.

"Electric load 33/200MW" "It seems that the electric power is still sufficient, but in terms of water..."

The circulating water is enough for him to drink, but if he wants to farm, he should install the water purification station as soon as possible. In this ghost place, the soil and water contain that kind of unknown particles, and he doesn't have any experimental equipment at hand, so it is difficult to confirm that it is harmless.

However, it doesn’t matter, he has brought enough animal embryo seeds, and it will be enough to use mice for testing at that time. However, he still has the equipment for species identification. The function of the biological experiment cabin is that Xia Lin probably needs to learn by herself from the manual.

This equipment is not for him, but for the experimental equipment used by the professional biologists in the colony, so you have to learn how to use it from scratch. Fortunately, technology is based on laziness, and some fool-like preset functions are still No problem - but if you want to adjust the embryonic gene of the species, transgene the seed and repair the defect, it's better to sleep.

Take out the low-temperature preserved cabbage and potato seeds from the freezer. Many people wonder whether potatoes reproduce asexually and why there are seeds. In fact, potatoes do have seeds.

It's just that potatoes have a characteristic. If they are planted from seeds, the traits of the male and female parents cannot be stably inherited, and the potatoes grown are full of strange things.

Therefore, in order to obtain stable and large potatoes, human agriculture has chosen bud point propagation. Simply put, it is cloning potatoes. Every potato that is bud point propagation is exactly the same as the female parent. Severe virus problems can develop after two generations, so the potatoes need to be devirused before they can continue to be grown.

To put it bluntly, humans have caused genetic diseases in potatoes, but there will be no such problems when planting them with seeds. Although the results are estimated to be similar, the potatoes grown are large and small, with all kinds of strange things, and it is impossible to produce them stably. The yield is similar to that of non-detoxified potatoes.

The normal colony planting system has a special agricultural drone responsible for sowing seeds. Xia Lin only needs to adjust the planting spacing, the number of seeds in a single pit, etc. on the PNIS control interface, and then the drone will automatically complete the process. It is a vegetable chicken that has never been to the ground, and it will not have all kinds of strange shapes when transplanting rice seedlings.

However, without agricultural drones, Xia Lin could only come by himself. When he clicked down a bag of seeds, he felt that his waist was almost not his own, and when he looked back, he was crooked and out of shape. It was densely planted, but it turned out... Forget it, I hope the boast of the Star Alliance Agricultural Science Station is true, otherwise I will really have to rely on nutritional cream for more than half a year.

After planting potatoes and cabbage, build a carpentry shed. This thing is quite simple, and it is not a real and complete carpentry shed. It is enough to build a herringbone structure with plates and threaded pipes to avoid direct sunlight and Rain and snow are eroded, and then the wood is framed to avoid moisture from the ground, and then it can be used for wood drying work.

However, this is not a complete and strict process, it can only be said to be of a makeshift degree. In addition to the shed itself, a carpentry workbench and some auxiliary supports are also needed. These are very simple things. The material took a few hours and it was almost done.

After all, the planer and other processing equipment are integrated on the machine tool, so if Xia Lin wants to process more delicate wooden parts, he does not need to process them in this woodworking shed.

However, if he wants to make a large-scale rough wood piece, he can only use a hand saw, a planer, and an ax to solve the problem here. The circulation of wood is really not a good place for wood treatment, it is best to have a professional drying room.

But, again, he does not need such a professional wood material, the essence is to save the expediency of making slower carbon fiber and polymer materials.As for metal materials, it is not something to count on until he finds metal minerals.

The originally planned exploration of the surrounding resource distribution, distribution of animals and plants, and collection of animal and plant samples have been delayed. I never thought that without the support of the colony, it would be so troublesome to build a micro-farm from scratch. When the equipment is relatively sufficient.

However, before departure, you still need to prepare some things, such as a large enough backpack and some necessary supplies for long-distance field treks.

In terms of medicines, it is enough to prepare bionic medical gels and sprays for trauma, and water purification tablets. As for the disease, there is no need to consider it-microbes that cannot be killed by symbionts. With the current drug reserves and medical treatment From the perspective of equipment, there is basically no hope of healing in the wild.

Then there are dry food and weapons and ammunition. Although the iron-lead ammunition of the Falcon rifle can be manufactured by itself, there is no way to match the supporting battery box. This kind of thing is not designed to provide multiple recharges, so the ammunition still needs to be used. Pay attention a little bit.

Xia Lin's plan is to synthesize the gunpowder propellant after getting the raw materials of nitric acid and sulfuric acid and cotton, or to make honest gunpowder weapons for practical use. Electromagnetic weapons are still too difficult to maintain without a certain basic industry. .

However, in the initial stage, these standard interstellar weapons can continue to be used, at least spare parts and various spare parts are still sufficient.

The preparations didn't last long, but he thought that going out at night on a completely unfamiliar planet was almost like courting death, so after preparing the supplies and backpack, he returned to his room on the second floor of the workshop.The bed frame, cabinet and desk are all handmade by him, and the simple bed made of polymer printing was left in the corner of the empty room.

After checking the situation of the planting greenhouse remotely through the PNIS terminal, I was almost ready to go to bed, and the howls of unknown creatures similar to howling wolves began to appear in the wild, as if they were urging them to die, and people had to take out the sound-proof earmuffs Sleep well.

The never-stopping reactor keeps the whole workshop at a good and warm temperature, and the surging electric power continuously pours into the storage device. When the storage device is fully charged, the control core starts to increase the core pressure and reduce deuterium. Cycle injection to reduce the efficiency of the fusion reaction into standby mode.

Chapter 4 The Holy Sword of the White Emperor! Ula!

When I woke up early in the morning, the first thing I did was to look at the potatoes and cabbages in the greenhouse. Of course, there was no movement. Plant growth also requires basic laws. Even Dora Ameng’s wheat takes 7 days, let alone stars. Mengmeng still doesn't have the genetic modification ability of that black technology, at least it will take two or three days before the green shoots can be seen.

Among them, the growth of cabbage is 90 days, while the improved varieties of the Star Alliance are about 78 days, the fastest may be about 55 days, and the potatoes are about 45 days. No matter which one is, it takes a day or two. If there is no result, it will take at least a month before Xia Lin can harvest the first batch of crops. Fortunately, there is only one person, otherwise it may not be possible to eat the next round of harvest.

I took some soil samples with test tubes and stuffed them into the simple analysis table on the side of the greenhouse to check the reduction of nutrients. I felt that there was no need to supplement fertilizers, and no harmful bacteria or insect eggs mixed in were detected, so I left with confidence.

Today's plan is to search for a woodland area centered on the workshop with a radius of 1.5 kilometers. If you go around on foot, it will take less than 2 hours. Well, the speed of walking in woodland and snowfields is different from walking on roads, let alone He also had to take plant samples and probe the soil.

Stepping on the rifle, holding the axe, carrying the shovel on his back, putting two quick-acting healing needles and a can of gel spray in his belt, Xia Lin stepped out of the workshop and walked towards the depths of the woods.

The workshop is surrounded by a typical boreal coniferous forest landform. A small stream flows through the valley and enters a flat land, which washes out a large pebble-covered shoal, and the workshop is located on one side of the shoal.

Xia Lin's route is to go around from the north side of the workshop to the south side, that is, the place where the upstream of the stream is deep. Come back around.

By the way, check the impact area in the valley area to see if there are metal mineral resources. Generally speaking, monazite, placer gold ore and iron sand associated with gold sand are more likely to appear in such places, and if high-quality quartz sand materials are found , his electronic melting furnace is useful to build reinforced glass greenhouses and photovoltaic power generation panels, and of course, some electronic components can also be produced.

Starting from the north side, Xia Lin found that many of the local plants were very different from the alien plants he had studied. Except that the local gravity was slightly lower than that of the earth, it can basically be considered to be almost the same as the earth's environment.

Along the way, in addition to the coniferous wood that he initially detected as a subspecies of coniferous cypress, he found several plant types that the handheld scanner revealed to be suspiciously terrestrial evergreen shrubs.

In terms of animals, no animals were found. It may be that such a guy wrapped in a hard armor plate walked over with heavy steps. Even carnivorous creatures such as Siberian tigers would hide first to see the situation.

The vigilance of wild animals is very high. Not all creatures are as stupid as roe deer. Xia Lin saw some animal shadows, but she didn't have a chance to get up to scan what they were, and these creatures did not become hostile. Nor did he want to waste precious ammo on them.

On the way back, you can go hunting, dissect, scan, and check whether the nutritional ingredients are edible. Although wild animals are probably not tasty, they are much better than nutritional cream, and they are still unprocessed. nutrition cream.

As for the insects, they caught quite a few dormant larvae, which were sealed in amber-like cubes by nanogel, and they were taken back for research and analysis.

If you are lucky, you can also build a box-type incubator for insect breeding, which can be processed into protein powder. In this way, the bird embryos preserved in low temperature can be thawed and developed in vitro-then he has pure natural organic It's a great thing to eat the eggs.

As for other professional biological research and analysis, it is not within the scope of Xia Lin's knowledge level and equipment level. After all, he is only an agricultural technician. At most, he can only analyze the nutritional curve, growth curve, whether there are toxic and side effects, and whether he can eat it. Even if there is a disease, as a strange species, he can't do anything about it.

But if the farm machinery in the workshop breaks down, except for the furnace and the builder's production line, he can basically repair it, including the site for the agricultural crawler vehicle, well, the tractor can also be repaired, and the installation of the water pump is first-class , Greenhouses and conservatories such as maintenance installation and supervision door clearing, even raising ducks and pigs is a good hand.

Although he is called a development evaluator on the surface, everyone knows that in private, he is just an ordinary agricultural technician. The ecological expert who is really responsible for investigating the alien environment and ecology is still waiting for him at Colony 14, which may last forever. The device won't come yet.

After walking downstream for about one kilometer along the stream, Xia Lin began to detour towards the west counterclockwise. The depth of the downstream of the shallow stream is less than 1 meter, and the surface is covered with a thin layer of ice, which is easy to be crushed if you are not careful. The ice is submerged in water, but for people wearing extreme environmental protection clothing, this low temperature environment is almost like a spring breeze.

Using a shovel as a crutch, Xia Lin waded through the shallows of the stream. By the way, he also found some unknown fish and algae under the ice. As usual, he took out the sample box to collect algae and fish eggs to see if there were any breeding ones. value and possibility.

After crossing the shallows, there is a low hill with tall and straight coniferous trees and thorny bushes entangled. Every step forward requires the help of a shovel and a logging ax in hand to open a path.

It may be due to the fact that the season is winter, or it may simply be that he is not familiar with the local plants. Xia Lin hardly collected many plant seeds. However, relatively speaking, he dug up some strange ore samples, which were all stored in Inside the light stone specimen box.

After scanning and detection by hand-held devices, the radioactivity of these ores is within the normal range, and the metal composition is very complex. The strangest one is an ore that shows a considerable magnetic field effect. It is suspected that it may be some kind of natural permanent magnet material.

In addition to minerals, Xia Lin will collect some soil samples before going out, and prepare to take them back for laboratory analysis to see the composition of the soil, whether it is possible to plant cold-resistant crops in the wild, and whether there is any harm to humans.

"Huh?" A black shadow flashed in the corner of Xia Lin's vision, "This is..." He squatted down, and there was a pool of red blood on the ground. Iron ions are used to transport oxygen to the internal organs. Simply put, it means that this is the blood left by an aerobic respiration organism.

Of course, the bloodstains are not the point. After all, this is a standard primeval forest. It is normal for animals to leave bloodstains, but Xia Lin's focus is on the things around the bloodstains.

"Oh, good stuff~" A clump of mold or moss grew on the nearby rock, Xia Lin took out a test tube from the specimen box, and carefully scraped the things stuck on the stone into the test tube with a knife .

Lichens and various fungi are the top priority of Covenant alien ecology, because most of the so-called "living" planets refer to such lichens and the insects that support them.

Moreover, these microorganisms also have an extremely important impact on the subsequent planetary environment modification project. Therefore, when evaluating the alien environment, this part is a very important sample that needs to be collected for analysis and processing.

Some distance away from Xia Lin, the young girl held her breath, covered her mouth and nose with one hand to prevent the hot air from blowing out, while pressing firmly on the already bruised and swollen wound to prevent more blood from spilling out and dripping , she nervously waited for the man in heavy armor and holding a gun to leave.

If it wasn't for the other party's heavy footsteps, I'm afraid I have been caught, and what is waiting for her is to be sent back to the dark mine, and then be tortured and killed by the guards as a fun object-the mine guards will randomly draw black Draw a lottery, and the guy who is drawn will be executed.

At first it was her grandmother, then her father and mother, and now it is her, even if it is her turn this time, it does not mean that she will be able to survive the next one, because the people here are all so-called "anti-system personnel", there is no difference between life and death. people care.

"Bow woof!" The guarding hounds were nearby, and the girl was so nervous that her heart would stop. In front of her was the mysterious man in heavy armor who looked dangerous, and he was squatting next to the bloodstains left by him. Tracking himself, followed by hounds tracked by the mine guards.

"There's a dog!?" Xia Lin wondered if he had misheard. He actually heard a dog barking on a different planet. He stood up curiously and walked towards the direction of the barking dog, while the girl hiding behind the tree rolled her eyes. It's black out, that man...he's coming!Here he comes!coming!

The girl grabbed a stone on the ground, but she knew that this kind of attack was impossible to deal with a man who was wearing heavy armor and whose whole body seemed to be wrapped in iron blocks.

"Woooo!" The ferocious combat military dogs raised by the mine guards jumped out of the bushes, lowered their bodies, and showed their fangs to the approaching strangers. This is not the kind of hunting dog raised by Orion, but He is a guy who specializes in searching for deserters and slaves on the battlefield and in the field. He has a fierce personality and is extremely aggressive. Even in the face of civilians, he will frantically rush to attack.

"Wild dog? Or a canine wolf?" Xia Lin pulled out the G2 claw pistol from the gun pouch on her thigh. This Gauss pistol is a standard large-caliber hunting rifle, designed to hunt ferocious beasts at close range. Strong braking effect, why not use a rifle because it is inconvenient to use a long gun at this distance and in an environment with dense trees and shrubs.

"Crack!" Xia Lin opened the baffle, and the fluorescent indicator on the gun emitted two green lights, "Woo!" The hound, sensing some kind of threat, moved its body carefully, and was ready to pounce on it and attack first.

Xia Lin held the gun in her right hand, her left wrist pressed against her right wrist, and she held the scanner backwards to point at the target, "Canine creatures, unknown species, tsk, without a network cloud database is troublesome."

It is impossible to obtain more biological data from the Star Alliance network, and the built-in species database cannot be updated. It is difficult to determine the breed and more detailed data of this canine creature.

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the woods, the hound froze for a moment, raised his head to look at Xia Lin, and ran in the opposite direction. Then, two humanoid creatures in winter clothes came out, from the limbs Judging by the situation, these guys with thick full-coverage helmets, walking postures that look like humans, and holding axes and clubs in their hands.

"No weapons." Xia Lin carefully observed these alien species. Although they were wearing clothes similar to combat uniforms, they didn't hold weapons—well, aren't axes weapons? ——Of course not, the little baby in his hand that can fire a 4.5-gram heavy iron lead bullet at 6 times the speed of sound is the weapon.

"A gun? No halo?" The other party also looked suspicious. This man was wearing standard heavy equipment, but he was holding a long-range gun used by a sniper. The most important thing was that there was no halo on his head. Didn't the guy say he was strict?Or is it just a toy?

Although outsiders are not allowed to own this kind of equipment called "guns", there are still many similar toys sold everywhere on the market, and there are even types that can also shoot "bullets". Of course, the power is ...The most minor injuries on unprotected people are equivalent to the level of BB guns on earth.

"Hey, who are you! Why are you here!?" The other party questioned loudly, touched the radio on his body, and clenched his weapon in one hand. Recently, he heard that a group of anti-system guys had established a guerrilla team to carry out armed attacks on various places. The mine, to liberate those imprisoned criminals and infected people, is this their scout?

"Crossbow!?" Xia Lin frowned slightly behind the double-layer mask. Is this a local hunter?And what are they talking about?It sounds a bit like Russian, no, it's Russian, and the translation module of the built-in PNIS has already given a check after translation—Russian is a different dialect.

Although it is not in the database, if you start morpheme analysis based on Russian, there is no problem in simple communication. The longer the conversation, the more relevant morpheme components are obtained, and then you can achieve a near-perfect communication effect.

"Is this a Russian colony?" Xia Lin was already cursing in her heart. It's not that Maozi doesn't have an outer ring colony, but that place is almost half of the human world away from Colony No. 14. Damn, that captain was drunk and drove away. It's impossible to go on the wrong route, and you can go out by such a long distance.

"Russia?" The other party was also stunned. The name he had never heard of was the name of a noble neighbor?Or a small country?I have never heard of it, but if the opponent has guns, the fight may not end well.

Just when both sides were a little dazed and not sure about the identity of the other party, the girl hiding in the bushes behind Xia Lin finally couldn't hold on anymore, and the sharp-eyed guards instantly spotted the guy hiding in the bushes, and immediately issued a voice. A roar.

"Damn it, it's those people, do it, Ulla!"

Obviously he regarded Xia Lin as those guys who attacked mines and prisons everywhere. He said so much to delay time and let his accomplices come over, yes, it must be like this.

"I'm going, stop, don't come!" Xia Lin was surprised at how fast the two guys were running, and then gave a loud warning, and quickly put her index finger into the arc, "I'm going to shoot !"

"Ula!" The ax slashed towards the face, "Bang!" The guard who had rushed in front of Xia Lin flew backwards, and the iron-lead bullets at 4.5 times the speed of sound pierced his armor. The protective plate shattered together (steel is an iron alloy), and the slender lead bullet core quickly penetrated the target's protection and became deformed by friction into a drop shape and pierced into the flesh.

"Pfft!" After the guard landed, even the strength to call for help disappeared, and a bloody crater appeared in his chest. The lead bullet did not penetrate the human body, which meant that the huge kinetic energy was completely released in the human body, blowing up the flesh and internal organs. smash.

And the other guard who followed him because of this momentary hesitation, before he could react, the second lead bullet pierced his head, and the mask was penetrated without protection, and the skull and brains were shot from the rear. Exploded, killed instantly, died faster than his companions.

Then the hound that rushed forward was also shot through the waist and abdomen, screamed for a while and lay down in the snow without moving.

Chapter 5 The girl with animal ears went to the veterinarian... seems to be fine.

"Huh~huh~" Xia Lin gasped violently, her palms trembling slightly, and she tried several times before closing the insurance again. It was too dangerous just now, and he didn't expect these two strange hunters to suddenly attack him, and he didn't even have time Go back and see what's going on behind the scenes, and who they mean by "those people."

Moreover, shooting someone for the first time is a bit too exciting for a law-abiding citizen, which is completely different from the beautified scenes watched on the screen or in the game.

Warm blood splattered and scattered, the white brain was still wriggling, a life was easily lost like a straw, and the value was only an iron-lead kinetic energy bomb less than 3 cents.

Xia Lin stepped forward and pulled down the masks of the two deceased, revealing a standard Slavic face, "It's over!" Although there is a certain self-protection factor, considering the difference in weapons between the two sides, it is certain that they will be sentenced to excessive defense. Yes—the judge would not believe that two adult men without power-assisted exoskeletons could pose any real threat to the pioneers wearing full protection.

If the communicators hadn't been found on the two of them, he would have surrendered to the police. Otherwise, do you think he can escape the legal sanction of the Star Alliance?

Don't think about it, if this is a Russian colony, they will soon find that two people have disappeared from the life test, and then there will be searches and evidence collection, and the workshop can't escape the suspicion in the nearest Xia Lin.

Then, by comparing the condition of the wound, you can determine what the murder weapon is. After that, you only need to check the authorization certificate and location of the corresponding weapon. Xia Lin has irrefutable evidence that he can't run away. It's better to surrender himself in exchange for leniency—after all, surrendering is the most defense. When caught, it may be intentional murder and escape.

After checking the corpse, Xia Lin sat next to him and stabilized his mind before he went to check what was going on in the bushes behind him. As a result, he saw a man with scars all over his body, only a tattered robe and an old skirt The girl, aged no more than 12 years, showed obvious signs of malnutrition and abuse, and even had a collar around her neck.
