Chapter 412 Colonization Plan (Part 2)
410. Colonization Plan (Part 2)
Most of these recruited pioneers are refugees, who were on their own planet due to war or famine. The kind that can't survive. The governments of those planets are also unable to solve their food, clothing and employment problems. Under normal circumstances, at least 90% of these people will starve to death, and most of the rest will become bandits.
However, with the rise of the Outer Rim Sector Mutual Aid Fund founded by Claire Underwood, she began to organize rescue work for these refugees. Of course, this kind of assistance is not free. To give them good food and drink, they have to work, such as coming to reclaim wasteland.
But no matter what, it is better to cultivate wasteland than to stay in the previous place and starve. What's more, the mutual aid fund also agrees to them taking care of the family - on the condition that you have to prove that you have this Ability to support your family, otherwise, you will be deported.
Repatriation meant starvation to death. Faced with the pressure of survival, these pioneers worked hard.
After the spherical hull of the Rookery Hook-class cargo ship landed, four huge hatches were opened from the surroundings. Based on the simple training they had received previously, the pioneers began to operate various forklifts, cranes and large Trucks begin unloading.
A small-scale settlement has been built on the edge of this crater named 'Grey Sea', because according to preliminary scans, this 500-kilometer-diameter crater was formed due to an asteroid collision. A large number of precious minerals buried underground have also been brought to the surface, making them very easy to mine.
And according to the depth scan of the earth's crust, the bottom of the Gray Sea Crater is equivalent to an altitude of more than minus 6,000 meters, which is very convenient for mining the planet's underground water bodies. On the one hand, it meets the needs of life and production. The most important thing is that these frozen underground water bodies are the most critical material for atmospheric modification.
Some pioneers with higher technical level have learned how to drive SCV, and they have begun to drive SCV to assemble those modular residential areas. There is also a huge inflatable closed hydroponic agricultural area under construction. , the entire colony was suddenly in full swing.
At this time, Volgograd-Kanidi had also come to the garage to check out the vehicles that had been delivered.
I only saw a huge Gnaku here, which contained 40 M-12 Warthogs and 80 M-274 Mongooses. Canidi was also curious about Daphne Clement. He was looking for something to replace the vulture chariot he needed.
However, when he saw clearly the data and styles of these vehicles, he suddenly smiled.
The M-12 Warthog is a wheeled jeep, 6.3 meters long and 2.3 meters high. It has a powerful four-wheel independent swing arm suspension system, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering. The four The 1.2-meter-high run-flat tires also ensure the strong off-road performance of the off-road vehicle.
The maximum speed of this off-road vehicle is 125 kilometers per hour, and the speed loss is extremely low even in off-road conditions. It also uses a 12L liquid-cooled hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine. This advanced internal combustion engine can directly decompose fresh water into hydrogen fuel, and then generate extremely high temperatures through a synthetic carbon catalyst. It can also be powered by solar energy.
Moreover, the off-road vehicles are equipped with an M-46 three-barreled light anti-aircraft electromagnetic machine gun, which has good firepower.
It can be said that this off-road vehicle is completely tailor-made for the environment of the Fang of Kuna planet! The atmosphere of the Fang of Kuna planet is thin, and the ultraviolet rays are very powerful, which also allows the off-road vehicle's solar cells to receive sufficient energy. Moreover, the planet is rich in underground water resources, which can easily meet the power needs of vehicles.
In fact, not only this planet, this technology that can directly decompose fresh water into hydrogen fuel can be said to be extremely powerful! This means that there is no need to transport fuel separately for logistical supplies, just bring more drinking water! If you encounter extreme circumstances, you can run a certain distance by peeing in the fuel tank, but you have to clean the engine afterwards.
Look at another M-274 Mongoose. This is a vehicle that looks a bit like a four-wheel off-road motorcycle. It is 3.2 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. It has a maximum speed of 95 kilometers per hour. No Equipped with any gear, it is also a very good off-road motorcycle. Using a 1000cc liquid-cooled mid-mounted four-stroke hydrogen-injection internal combustion engine, the same thing can be run by adding water!
After the delivery of these two vehicles, one light and one heavy, it also gave the colony preliminary defense capabilities, and it can also detect and control a large area around it, which is great for subsequent colonial expansion. Used it!
Without any hesitation, Canidi connected the communication, called the drivers to drive out all these vehicles, and immediately established several reconnaissance teams to begin investigating and patrolling the surrounding areas of the colony. In the next month, due to the large number of modular buildings delivered by cargo ships, the colony expanded very quickly. Within a month, the colony could already accommodate 50,000 residents. A mine has also been opened on the other side of the crater, and four groundwater extraction factories have been opened in a valley.
Currently, we do not expect this colony to produce anything. The first goal is to develop the colony to accommodate all 500,000 pioneers in this group, and the second goal is to It is to make the colonies self-sufficient.
Tang Xiao's instruction was to increase the colony size of Kuna's Fang to 1 million people in one year.
However, things always change. When the colony of Kuna's Fang was in full swing, something unexpected happened.
In fact, there are not only the colonial groups of the fourth civilization on the planet Kuna Fang, but also several small residential areas with thousands of residents living there. Most of these residents come from the planet Annaj, which is the largest habitable planet in the Model sector and the most developed civilization in the sector.
This civilization is dominated by the Ayrou people, and there are also some humans.
Those small residential areas are also distributed in the Gray Sea. Everyone can see the unique environment on the Gray Sea. Naturally, the other party also knows this and built the residential area at the bottom of the crater.
Originally, the two sides were at peace with each other, but friction soon arose.
On this day, more than a dozen people from the Fourth Civilization Pioneer Group drove 3 Warthog off-road vehicles and 3 Mongoose off-road motorcycles to the bottom of the Gray Sea, where they had previously installed a set of drilling equipment. , preparing to detect the ice beneath the Gray Sea in order to formulate plans to build atmosphere modification facilities and restore the planet's atmosphere.
However, when they came to the drilling equipment, they were shocked to find that the equipment had been blown up!
"Those Bantha shit! Bastards!!" A pioneer yelled angrily, "This is the third time this week! What do those people want!"
He opened the communication , said to Volgograd-Kanidi: "Sir! Our equipment was blown up by those people again!"
"We will retreat temporarily and wait until we negotiate with the Ayru people." Kanidi Dee sighed.
“It’s been more than a week and there’s still no result?!” the pioneer said loudly.
"This matter involves peace between two planets and even two civilizations. We cannot make hasty conclusions. Let us exercise restraint first," Canidi replied.
At this time, a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised from the other side, and a group of people carrying blaster rifles came here on hovering motorcycles. The first human jumped off the motorcycle and said loudly: "You have crossed the line. Where did it come from? "
