A burst of soothing music woke Tang Xiao from his sleep. He opened his eyes, looked at his surroundings as usual, and scratched his head. It seemed that he could not go back.
[Manager, I'm sorry to disturb you, but there are very important things that require your decision.] Qi Jian's voice came from the communicator on the side.
Tang Xiao ignored it, just stood up from the bed, walked to the bathroom, asked the mastermind to adjust the water temperature to ice-cold again, and then washed his face vigorously.
He supported the sink with both hands, looked up at himself who was pale due to the cold, and gritted his teeth. After a while, he stood up suddenly, put on his clothes, "Mastermind! Lead the way to the bridge!"
"Manager, I'm sorry to disturb you." Arriving at the bridge command center, Qi Jian saluted Tang Xiao respectfully.
"Say it."
"The engineering team has established two mining stations near the gaseous planet, and while you were resting, it has sent back two ships of helium-3 and refined it. Now we can take off more spaceships, especially if we need
A transport ship that goes back and forth between Planet Dawn and the mothership." Qi Jian said.
"continue."
"Then... the reconnaissance team has sent back a report and has initially selected 17 landing points. We can choose one of them to launch the landing." At this point, Qi Jian's tone was trembling, and he opened an interface for Tang Xiao.
"Landing point? Do you need to come to me specifically for this matter?" Tang Xiao was a little strange.
Qi Jian solemnly replied, "Manager, this first colony will probably be our capital in the future. I...I don't dare to make the decision without authorization..."
Tang Xiao nodded. He raised his finger and was about to click it when he saw Qi Jian's complicated eyes.
There was expectation, pride, and a little uneasiness in his eyes. He clenched his fists and trembled slightly, trying his best to control his excitement. Not only him, but also everyone else on the bridge.
Tang Xiao's heart trembled slightly, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, 600,000 people...maybe 5 billion more...with just a flick of his finger, their starting point would be determined.
He looked at the screen again, and this time he compared the landing points carefully, and the knowledge that had been crammed into his mind poured out like water from a floodgate.
Combining the knowledge he had learned, he chose an area with mountains and rivers and a large grassland. He pointed at this place and said to Qi Jian: "Let's just go here. The latitude here is moderate, and there are water sources around it. There is also a mountain above sea level.
The hilly area of more than 1,000 meters serves as the commanding heights of defense. We will first send 20 marines to land, expand the defense line, and immediately start building residential areas."
"Yes! Manager! This is our first colony! It is our first step towards this universe!!" Qi Jian was a little excited and immediately arranged the work.
After the landing point was determined, all aspects of work began immediately. The people in the hibernation warehouse were all experts in various fields, and the clerks also began to perform their respective functions. Tang Xiao did not need detailed guidance.
Soon, a transport ship carrying 20 Marines and 50 construction workers took off from the mothership and landed on the Dawn Planet. The Marines spread out to drive away wild animals and put down positioning beacons, while the construction workers also
Start organizing your own mechanized exoskeleton for engineering use.
"The beacon signal is normal. Manager, we can put the mothership into synchronous orbit." Qi Jian said to Tang Xiao after confirming the signal from the beacon.
Tang Xiao nodded and said to the operator on the bridge console: "Enter the synchronous orbit of the Dawn Planet and keep the mothership above the beacon at all times. Master Brain, you will provide assistance."
【OK.】
The engine of the multi-meter-high Kushen mothership started again, and the extremely powerful driving force pushed this behemoth of more than 370 billion tons to start moving forward, continuously descending into the outer gravitational circle of the Dawn Planet, and then began to maintain the same speed as the planet's rotation.
.
When approaching the orbit of the Dawn Planet, due to the huge mass of the mothership, it even triggered several earthquakes of magnitude 3 to 5 and underground water ejection on the surface of the planet.
After entering the predetermined orbit, under the action of the centripetal force and inertia of the planet's rotation, the mothership only needs very little power to maintain navigation. Keeping running in synchronization with the ground beacon, a hatch in the center of the mothership is opened, and then an orbital drop capsule is launched.
go out.
The disposable orbital drop cabin started to burn due to friction in the atmosphere. From the ground, it looked like a meteor falling towards the ground. When it was about to land, the reverse engine of the drop cabin started and sprayed blazing flames towards the ground.
Help the airborne capsule land smoothly.
The construction workers who were ready on the side immediately went over, opened the airborne cabin, and assembled the modular housing made of ultra-light materials inside. The shell of the airborne cabin is the outer wall of the building. In less than 20 minutes, a two-story building was built.
The small building has been built.
The mothership continues to airdrop buildings at a rate of one launch every 10 minutes, including housing, solar and wind power generation facilities, water purification facilities, etc.
Tang Xiao also successively selected some farmers and maintenance workers among the 600,000 frozen hibernation residents to wake them up, and then let them land on the Dawn Planet in a transport ship. He also selected a man named Gu Laham from this group of people and appointed him as the leader.
Village Chief. At present, this small colony with less than a hundred people in total is indeed a small village.
Once it started, everything was carried out in an orderly rhythm. Tang Xiao stretched and stood up, looking at the busy people, his mood was still a little heavy.
Looking at the vast universe outside the porthole on the other side, Tang Xiao walked over involuntarily, saw the stars that were unknown how many light-years away, and thought of the inexplicable dream that might have caused him to travel through time. He caressed
Looking at the cold porthole, it was like touching the distant stars, and a flame gradually began to burn in his heart.
Returning to his seat, Tang Xiao ordered, "Mastermind, bring out the information I need. I have a lot of things to do."
【Okay, manager.】
He is somewhat resigned to his fate now, and he also feels vaguely that he really can't go back. If this is the case, and if he continues to be in such a hazy state, then maybe one day when the Star Destroyer arrives, his family will still be completely destitute.
Moreover, after Tang Xiao saw the enthusiastic and expectant looks in Qi Jian's and others' eyes just now, he also understood that he could not let them down, and... if this mothership was really the reward given by the so-called fate... then...
…
Tang Xiao sat back on the main seat of the bridge, opened the items of the colonization plan and began to check. He needed to understand what difficulties he would face and how to solve them. What he should know most now was how to establish a colony.
When the environment is unknown, rapid development and establishing one's own solid power is always the best choice.
Putting aside the confusion and uneasiness in his heart, Tang Xiao clicked on an entry in the "Interstellar Colony Construction Guide", opened the file and looked through it.
