12. This chapter on the tip of the tongue can be eaten

After capturing Dubrac-Quento and his smugglers, everything returned to peace and the colony was developing steadily for more than a week.

The construction of mining stations around the gas giant planets has increased to four, providing the mothership with a large amount of helium-3 fuel for fusion reactors. However, there are only four modular mining stations installed in the mothership. If a new mining station is to be built, it needs to be built on its own.

In addition, among the nine satellites surrounding this gas giant planet, also called Endo, three are rich in various metal minerals. Now, people from the Engineering Department are working overtime to build interstellar mining sites on one of the asteroids to provide raw materials for construction work in space.

The same is true for the colonies on the ground. Now the colonies above Dawn Star have built 1,000 modular two-story residential buildings, and the number of residents has increased to more than 1,700, and the entire colony can already accommodate 10,000 residents.

Daphne Clement of the Executive Department is constantly selecting suitable residents to wake up and sending them to Dawn to join the construction work.

The biggest problem now is that the first is the job pressure brought by the rapid population growth, and the second is that there are not enough transport ships between the mothership and the Dawn Star. There are only 5 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.

Moreover, this transport ship is about 30 meters long and belongs to the level of a light frigate and cannot be built on the production line built into the mothership. To build more transport ships, a small space dock must be built. Although construction has begun, even if the mothership is equipped with modular materials, it will take another week to complete the construction of this scale.

What's worse is that one of the transport ships was broken...

These things made Tang Xiao frustrated. When the colony just started to be built, there was not much problem. Now it is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more problems. In the past few days, he has no time to consider any problems such as the plot of "Star Wars". He is constantly traveling between Star Dawn and the mothership to make various decisions.

However, the benefits of doing this are also obvious. He has been instilled with various knowledge in his mind. Now, after this period of application, he has been developed a lot and has become familiar with many of his work.

If it was more than a week ago, he had not traveled through time and was just an ordinary college graduate, who would tell him that he could manage such a growing interstellar colony, Tang Xiao would definitely think that person was talking about the plot of science fiction.

In short, under the leadership of Tang Xiao, the colony was still developing in an orderly manner. They set up hunting teams to allow Marines to accumulate practical experience and can also supplement meat for the colony...

Looking for mines on the Dawn Stars, mining lime, coal and metal raw materials…

Open up farms, plant local plants in fruit fields, and build closed hydroponic farms to grow crops such as rice, wheat, corn brought on the mothership.

Build steel mills, cement plants, sewage treatment plants, power plants, water plants and other factories.

There are also roads, airports, pipelines and wires.

And the most difficult step - sewage discharge. Because on this original planet, it is very difficult to discharge wastewater generated by factories and how to discharge domestic sewage and plan their discharge.

The biggest problem is that 95% of the area of ​​Dawn Planet is ground, so most of the water is underground, which also brings great difficulties to sewage discharge.

Because there are no rivers to discharge sewage, and there are no oceans to treat sewage. If discharged into the groundwater network, it is estimated that in less than a year, creatures on the planet will have to drink feces.

So once when he visited the colony, he saw the residents carrying manure water to find a place to deal with it. Tang Xiao, who felt offended, began to discuss a very serious issue with Daphne Clement very seriously: he planned to build a giant shit collector on the mountain next to the colony, gather all the sewage and manure water, and then build a dam to use manure water to generate electricity.

It is not unfounded for him to think so, because he had done this in a certain game before. He thought that since even the spaceships in the game could be brought to reality, the shit collector that can be realized in the game should be OK.

However, Clement was frightened directly. She tried her best to suppress the urge to grab Tang Xiao to check her brain, and told her managers very seriously that this was impossible in reality, because the pressure of the manure water was not enough to drive the dam's turbine, and there were too many impurities inside to easily block.

After all, you don’t know if someone is constipated, right?

In addition, seasonal issues must be considered. What if the feces in the shit collector freeze in winter? So there is also a heating device, right? This is all cost!

In order to strengthen her persuasion, Clement also grabbed Guan Yan, an energy expert who was eating, and explained that Guan Yan was innocent. Although she immediately spit out all the lunch she had just eaten after hearing this topic, she still tried very hard to help Clement convince Tang Xiao.

Seeing that this road was not working, Tang Xiao asked them again how many water purification plants would they need to purify repeatedly if they filtered the manure water into drinking water?

Clement and the others were stunned by Tang Xiao's imagination. They found Qu Xuewen and Feng Yongwang and joined hands with several experts to persuade him. Tang Xiao then abandoned the idea of ​​feces and water generation and recycling, and finally did not let himself gradually move away on the road to being shot.

This interesting topic still has to come up with a conclusion, so they continued to discuss it for a long time, and finally concluded that the giant shit collector must be built, but it cannot be built on the mountain, otherwise it will be fun once the dam is broken, and it will be directly flooded with feces.

The purpose of construction is not to generate electricity, but to facilitate the convenience of sending these shits to outer space after a large interstellar transport ship in the future, such as to send them into two stars in the middle of the Endo galaxy.

Then Tang Xiao, who had a big brain, raised another topic, that is, when this plan was implemented, wouldn’t the Endo Galaxy where the planet Dawn behave become a system that revolves around two shit-smelling stars?

Of course, this is all a story later. They finally decided to set up the Ministry of Public Health to handle this matter. When this decision was made, Tang Xiao was completely unaware that he had already established the most terrifying department in the history of the Milky Way.

However, Tang Xiao quickly got out of this delicious topic. At this moment, he was happily stirring a spoon in a bowl of paste chocolate with a spoon, and eating a spoon from time to time, while discussing a very important topic with an elite sociologist who had just awakened.

There were no snacks on the mothership, so Tang Xiao could only use this semi-finished thing to satisfy his verbal desire.

"Managers, what we have to consider now is the cohesion of the colony. We are not large at present, and everyone is around you, which is good. But if we continue to develop, this is far from enough. 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 the side. When she saw Tang Xiao, she said casually: "Ah, you are here, manager. By the way, there is something. The analysis of infrared laser weapons is very smooth and should be completed in advance. We will conduct the first weapon test in the afternoon. Are you going?"

"Ah, no problem, I will go in the afternoon." Tang Xiao replied, and the preliminary analysis of infrared laser weapons was completed in more than a week. He felt that he should praise her, but he suddenly got stuck and didn't know what to say, so he picked up the paste chocolate in his hand and said to Guan Yan, "Do you eat it?"

Seeing this bowl of sticky brown object that was stirred into a spiral shape by Tang Xiao, Guan Yan turned dark and refused, "Uh, no, I don't have much appetite..."

"Ah, it's a pity, this one is delicious." Tang Xiao shook his head regretfully, stirred it in the bowl again, and then scooped out a large spoonful and put it in his mouth to eat it.
