409. Colonization Plan (Part 1)
Outer Rim of the galaxy, Modell Sector, Kuna's Tooth System, Kuna's Tooth Planet.
A large space station with a length of more than 400 meters is under construction in orbit outside the planet. More than 10 engineering ships are constantly busy, and a large Raloz-class Heavy Constructor is preparing to dock a 300-meter-diameter spherical agricultural warehouse to the space station.
Kuna's Tooth Planet has a diameter of about 7800 kilometers. There is a piece of Halo and four satellites. Most of the material in Halo is ice. It can be seen by referring to a huge crater with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers in the southern hemisphere of the planet's surface. This should be caused by an asteroid impact one billion years ago.
The original place of the crater should have been a sea, but this impact caused almost all the sea water to fly into outer space, and then be recaptured by the planet's gravity, thus forming this Halo.
It was also because of this impact that the original atmosphere of Kuna's Tooth Planet was destroyed and became very thin, so the originally suitable climate became what it is now.
Viewed from a distance, the entire planet appears as a stripe of Rock gray and khaki. Because the atmosphere cannot block the ultraviolet radiation from the star, almost no grass grows on the surface of the planet.
Five donut-shaped Luukri-Hok-class freighters are waiting here, three of which are running synchronously in orbit outside the planet. There are 60,000 people living in the spaceships. There is another cargo ship docked next to a satellite. More than 10 engineering ships are constantly coming in and out of this cargo ship. They are preparing to open a space mine on this satellite and build four factories to meet the needs of colonial development.
The last ship Luukri-Hok-class freighter is mainly responsible for cargo transportation.
Responsible for the protection are 100 Blade-class fighter piloted by B-1 robots. These fighter jets were withdrawn from Fourth Civilization Navy and then could not be sold, so they were thrown over and used as security guards.
At this moment, on the ship Luukri-Hok-class freighter in orbit outside the planet, Volgograd-Kanidi were carrying a bottle of wine and discussing specific colonization matters with several advisers.
After Volgograd-Kanidi was pushed to join Battle of Malastare Canyon by Tang Xiao half-forced and half-deceived, they suffered a huge blow and became decadent for more than a year. Later, he was sent to Semirres Planet to be responsible for the construction of the warship factory that the two parties cooperated with. Then he was sent to Caladan Planet to be responsible for the assistance work to Caladanian for a period of time. He also had a temporary position at United Mining Group.
Later, Tang Xiao basically forgot about him. As a Master Class character, he has never been able to truly take charge of his own role. Some of the things he is now managing are no longer something that Tang Xiao needs to personally deal with.
Fortunately, Fourth Civilization Head of the Administrative Department Daphne-Clement has not forgotten him. In view of his previous qualifications, Clement still gave him a relatively important position - serving as the commander-in-chief of the Kuna's Tooth Planet colonial regiment.
At this moment, Kanidi and the others are discussing the construction of the first ground colony.
"Commander, Ship No. 5 is back, bringing a batch of supplies that we urgently needed." A civilian staff came over and said.
"How much did the modular living area deliver?" Kanidi asked.
"15 large-scale modular residential areas were delivered, which can accommodate 8,000 people. Some equipment from factories and agricultural areas were also delivered. Oh, by the way, there are also 50 SCVs, 40 M-12 Warthogs, and... um, 80 M-274 Mongooses?" The civilian staff was confused as they held the freight bill in their hands.
"What warthog and mongoose? Dawn Star Planet What are those people doing? Don't I want them to send some Vulture Vehicle over?" Volgograd-Kanidi yelled unhappily. After yelling, he didn't forget to pick up the wine bottle and take a big sip.
The civilian staff looked through the documents in their hands with some embarrassment and said, "Well, they did have a reply... Minister Clement said that Vulture Vehicle was too expensive, so it was given priority to the army."
"Expensive? Damn it! You have money to build a battleship, but you don't have the money to give it to me Vulture Vehicle? Does she think Kuna's Tooth is too ordinary?" Kanidi cursed and snatched the receipt form over, flipping through it casually, "What else did she say?"
"She also said that she has given us five Luukri-Hok-class freighters, so this is enough..." the civilian staff said.
"Ah, yes! They gave us 5 Luukri-Hok-classs, and then gave us 100 Blade-class fighters to protect them! Don't think I don't know the ugly record of Blade-class fighters when Dawn Star Planet's colony just started five years ago." Kanidi was indignant, "Pirates are really coming, do you want me to hit them with these donuts?"
"Well... the Blade fighters at that time were not equipped with shields and blue lasers..." the civilian staff whispered.
"You don't know, the Army has already started to install ultraviolet laser weapons! That old guy Cheng Shitao from the Army spends time with the Research Department every day, and he has a good relationship with those nerds!" Kanidi threw away the receipt form casually, "Let's go, let's go! Get to the No. 5 ship, and let's go to the ground together."
Kanidi took the shuttle and flew towards No. 5 Luukri-Hok-class freighter who had just arrived. The shuttle flew past the circular hull with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters. Being surrounded by this huge spacecraft, it was like being inside a steel castle. The core of the castle is a huge sphere with a diameter of 1029 meters.
Arriving at the bridge of the No. 5 ship and completing the cargo handover procedures, Kanidi gave the order, "Okay, don't delay! Start landing immediately!"
"Roger Roger!" The B-1 robot controlling the spacecraft responded and pressed the button.
Long~~~~! Kanidi only felt the ground shake violently, and then saw the huge spherical shape in the center of Luukri-Hok-class freighter slowly starting to separate from the hull and flying in the direction of Kuna's Tooth Planet.
"Entering synchronous orbit, the right thruster is turned off." The navigator said.
"Roger Roger!"
"Okay, we have been captured by the planet's gravity. The thrust is increased by 5% to maintain balance! The thermal shield is operating at full power!" The navigator continued to issue instructions, and the B-1 robot operating the spacecraft completed these operations accurately.
Only to see this huge spherical hull with a diameter of 1029 meters began to descend continuously. The huge mass and speed caused the surrounding air to burn, but it was completely isolated by the thermal shield. Then the hull continued to correct its direction, and finally landed 20 kilometers away from the ground base.
"Let's go and unload the goods. By the way, take a look at the pigs and cats that replace Vulture Vehicle." Kanidi said.
"It's warthogs and meerkats," the civilian official corrected.
Kanidi snorted and said nothing. He put on a simple respirator and walked to the elevator.
The atmosphere of Kuna's Tooth Planet is very thin but harmless, so you only need to wear a respirator to move freely on the planet. When we arrived at the huge warehouse, we saw that many pioneers recruited from all over the country had already begun to take action. Together with the B-1 robot, they operated the gantry crane to hoist the huge cargo boxes and put them on the unloading platform to prepare.
These pioneers are basically recruited by Outer Rim Planets Mutual Aid Fund from Claire in Outer Rim Territories, so they come from all races, Nikto, Tusken, Devalonian, Mustafarian, Quarren, Rodian are the only ones with few human beings.
