Chapter 32, etiquette is less important than affection
The news of the cult's growth made everyone in Fuxing City very busy.
As the initiator of the scandal, the Governor was not in any anxious mood at the moment.
Early the next morning, he began to make another contact with the Quintet in the sky to solve the ration problem in the territory.
Yelicia still didn't have a good look on him.
Gu Hang didn't care about this, and even understood it very well.
If it were him, being picked off handful after handful every day, his reaction would be even greater than Yelicia's.
——Then because I’m so considerate, why don’t you just give me the synthetic starch technology?
Of course, Gu Hang knew that he couldn't ask for nothing, he had to come up with something.
"Brigadier General Yelicia, I have brought you another piece of good news!"
Hearing these words, Yelicia thought of the three thousand slaves, three hundred servitor soldiers, a bunch of weapons and equipment, and four Edifier Vs that she had thrown away.
Heartache.
As for the fact that she sent out a Marine captain before?
Is there such a thing? Can't remember.
Yelicia said with a straight face: "Your Excellency the Governor's good news is very expensive every time."
"How could it be? I am sharing our results with the best partners."
"If there is something serious, just say it quickly."
"I already have some clues about the cults and heresies spawned on Raging Owl. I caught a cultist who turned out to be a senior official in the government of this planet!"
Hearing this, Yelicia became solemn: "Has it deteriorated to this point? Tell me where the enemies are and I will destroy them."
"No, no, no, it's not that time yet. I will soon find the specific traces of those cultists. At that time, you may need to send elite marines and even the power of the ship's church to help me purify those heretics. ”
"It's possible, but it's best to create an opportunity for me to directly carry out orbital bombing."
"I'll try my best."
Ye Lixia had nothing to refuse to agree to. Orbital bombing was the most convenient. If the Marines needed to attack, that was fine. She didn't resist, as long as it was meritorious service.
Moreover, this method of sending Marines to fight is different from the previous method where people were said to be 'borrowed', but in reality they were no different from being sent. Those who 'lent' to Gu Hang have been working under Gu Hang for a long time. When going on a mission, whether or not to fight, and how to fight, the entire command system is still under the control of the starship. At most, Gu Hang can only provide a target and give some reference suggestions.
It's not a conceptual thing at all.
Yelicia's expression calmed down a little, and she felt a little relaxed.
The investment in this governor finally has a little hope of return.
Eliminating the cults and heresies entrenched in the city, the head of the planetary government, is more or less something that can be talked about.
Although it is not big enough, there are rewards and there are expectations. There are still two years to go.
Ye Lixia, who was in a better mood, asked a question that she would regret later: "Very good, is there anything else?"
"Yes, I need synthetic starch technology." Ye Lixia's face froze.
I originally thought you were just here to report news, good guy, but it turns out you are here to ask for something, right?
"I am only responsible for fighting against the enemies of the empire." Yelicia said, "It is not my job to support construction."
"This is to fight against the enemies of the empire!" Gu Hang argued, "What is the core of the breeding of cults? It is that the people cannot see hope. They can't even eat enough, and they are easily seduced by cults. Synthetic starch technology, can help us solve this problem.”
Yelicia felt that what Gu Hang said made sense, but...is the people saved by this method considered the navy's merit?
While she was thinking, Gu Hang's voice came again: "Brigadier General Yelicia, please understand that when we face the enemy, it is of course necessary to destroy it with thunderous force. But if the situation deteriorates to the point where it is uncontrollable, it is necessary If salvation can only be achieved through complete destruction, then it is not necessarily a good thing.”
"The cult corrupted a city and then destroyed the city; or the cult spread to a terrible extent, but was completely wiped out under the command of the Brigadier General, and hundreds of thousands of subjects of the empire were saved. Please compare these two Which statement is better? ”
Destroyer or savior...
It seems that the former one is cooler, but in the empire - at least in the Pegasus sector - the latter one has more gold content.
What's more, the identity of the savior is more in line with Ye Lixia's mission this time. She came back to stay in the orbit of the Raging Owl for two years. She was not here to fight and destroy any enemies, but to assist the Governor in reviving the planet.
At this point, Yelicia had to admit that Gu Hang's statement moved him again.
She began to think about what she would do if she wanted to give Gu Hang the synthetic starch technology. Is this costly?
The conclusion is, not too big.
Of course, there is synthetic starch technology on the starship. During the long interstellar travel, supplies are hard to come by. This ability to recycle almost all organic matter and convert it into edible starch blocks is an important auxiliary technology.
However, the important thing is the important thing. Generally, when synthetic starch machines are used, there are not many. During non-war times, starships can receive supplies relatively smoothly, but no one is willing to eat starch cubes.
At present, the food stored on the Quintet is relatively abundant, enough to last for several years.
Moreover, there is more than one synthetic starch machine on the starship. Send one down, it won't be a big problem.
Of course, what Gu Hang wanted was technology, not just a machine. But this is not too troublesome. If the technician in charge of logistics and supply on the starship is left behind, along with a machine and some parts, he should be able to meet Gu Hang's requirements.
Logically speaking, this is enough for Gu Hang to produce a synthetic starch manufacturing machine on his own, provided that he has a certain industrial foundation.
If not, then Yelicia can only say that there is nothing she can do to help: I am not a spoiled mother, how can I feed you milk directly?
"I agreed."
……
Yelicia relaxed. A transport plane brought technicians and equipment to the surface. On the way back, Gu Hang loaded them with a lot of supplies.
According to him, this was a thank-you gift sent to Brigadier General Yelicia, and it was a specialty on the Raging Owl. But in fact, a small part of the food and textile materials shipped from Fuxing City were sent to heaven.
It's not meaningless to improve the food and provide some supplies for the people on the starship.
After all, it is to express that the Governor is not just talking for free!
As for the difference in value between the two... etiquette is less important than affection!
After watching the transport plane fly away, Gu Hang plunged into the plan of expanding production.
