66. Harmonious life

Then, Tang Xiao took advantage of the excitement among the people participating in the public trial to announce that Kushan Mothership would be officially renamed 'Glory' to commemorate Fourth Civilization's first victory in the "Star Wars" universe.

Moreover, this victory was also a victory in which the mothership directly participated and made great contributions, hence the name of glory.

However, Tang Xiao still hopes that the mothership will never participate in a battle like this again.

He didn't need to worry about the rest of the aftermath, such as how to arrange the prisoners and how to arrange the rescued civilians.

Those civilians will temporarily live in Dawn City for a period of time according to Clement's suggestion. Anyway, they all sing and dance, so it is just right to come and sing for the residents of Fourth Civilization. After a few months, arrangements will be made to send them back to Tatooine - if they are still willing at that time.

The old man Truda has made a great contribution this time. After he came to Dawn Star Planet, he also fell in love with the environment here. After all, a lush green planet is much better than the loess lump Tatooine, so he took the initiative to stay and prepared to open a mechanical repair shop.

So Fourth Civilization has its first non-human member - an old man Nikto.

As for Taya, this Tirek woman has been nestling in Cun Te's arms since the beginning of the public trial. It seems that Cun Te has also accepted this woman and has been holding her. Maybe the two will become a couple in the future.

But Tang Xiao also understands that a woman cannot tie Cun Te, and his dream is in the endless universe.

Dawn Star Planet, the colonial city of Fourth Civilization—Dawn City.

Tang Xiao passed through the city, and Dawn City is now a small town with a population of 7,000. It's just that most of the buildings in the city are Modular Buildings. Although the buildings are simple, they don't look that beautiful. They are boxy and have small windows.

On the edge of town, many new concrete frame buildings have begun to rise, and construction workers wearing mechanized exoskeletons for engineering are busy up and down the construction site.

But what Tang Xiao is very concerned about is that there are actually many Ewoks on the construction site!

These little bear men, who are more than one meter tall, shuttle very flexibly among the steel bars at the construction site. They are also assisting the Fourth Civilization workers with small tools such as air hammers, nail guns, and welding guns in their hands.

"Hey! Moko! See the fastener of the third scaffold over there? That thing is about to come off! Go and replace it for me!" a worker shouted.

"Oh, oh~~~!" A Ewok with green fur yelled twice, shook the wrench in his hand, picked up a new fastener on the ground, and ducked through the gap in the steel pipe.

Using his hands and feet, he quickly got over there, and then skillfully removed the old fastener with a wrench. At the same time, he also raised one foot to support the loose steel pipe, freed up both hands to fasten the new fastener, and then tightened the screw with a wrench. This style is totally a skilled worker.

However, at this moment, workers on the upper floor controlled the concrete filling machine and were preparing to pour concrete into the mold. Upon seeing this, the workers here quickly picked up the communicator and shouted, "Rozan! Who the hell asked you to pour concrete now? Didn't you see anyone down there?"

"Oops, why didn't you tell me earlier!" The workers on the upper level quickly stopped the machine, but it was still a step too late and some concrete spilled down.

The Ewok named Moko reacted super fast and dodged the spilled concrete in a flash. At the same time, he did not forget to use the wrench to tighten the last few turns of the screw. Then he grabbed the wrench and jumped to the upper level. He gently tapped Rozan's helmet twice with the wrench, and cursed in an unskilled language, "Stupid, stupid!"

"Damn you! Galactic Standard doesn't learn, but he learns swearing very quickly!" Rozan laughed and scolded.

"Fuck you! Damn you!" Moko imitated his tone and cursed, and wiped his hand full of engine oil on Rozan's face.

"Fuck you, uncle, don't leave! Look, if I don't stew you today, my surname is not Luo!"

Tang Xiao looked at this harmonious scene and couldn't help but feel a happy smile on his lips. Just as he expected, the current atmosphere of the colony is really very harmonious. In addition to steady development, the residents of Fourth Civilization and Ewok have gradually begun to coexist harmoniously.

Continuing to walk forward, there are already some stalls on the street buying things, mostly fruits, meat, fish and the like found from around.

What's very interesting is that there are actually many Ewok among the people setting up stalls. The things they sell are much richer than those of the residents, including beautiful shells, pearls, rare animal skins, teeth, etc.

Now Fourth Civilization is using a bill similar to food stamps, called Work Ticket, which is issued according to residents' working hours, which became the initial currency in circulation. The face value of Work Ticket is also very intuitive. There are two types of hours and minutes, base 60. Different positions and ranks have different coefficients when calculating working hours.

There are also material supply stations in the city, which provide the most basic daily necessities such as food and clothing.

Residents can use Work Ticket to exchange for these supplies, or they can exchange with other residents for some small things they get in daily life. The primitive economic system is gradually taking shape.

What's very interesting is that those Ewok who set up stalls actually accepted Work Ticket, and then they would go to the material supply station to exchange for food and clothes. But they will immediately tear the clothes into pieces and change them into sizes suitable for their body type.

But there is another detail, that is, Ewok will never buy a hat. Sometimes in order to keep warm, they will only wear a turban. It seems that the seemingly messy decorations on their heads have unique meanings.
