Colonial Plan (Part 2)

Most of these recruited pioneers are refugees, the kind who can't live on their own planet because of war or famine. The Governments of those planets are also unable to solve their food and employment problems. According to normal conditions, 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 Mutual Aid Fund founded by Claire Underwood, she began to organize relief 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 cultivate wasteland.

But no matter what, it is better to reclaim wasteland than to stay in the previous place and starve. What's more, the Mutual Aid Fund also allows them to take care of their families—on the condition that they have to prove that they have the ability to support their family, Otherwise, they will be deported.

Repatriation meant starvation to death. Facing the pressure of survival, these pioneers worked hard.

After the spherical hull of the Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 Cargo Freighter landed, four huge hatches were opened around it. According to the simple training they received before, the pioneers began to operate various Forklifts, Cranes and large Trucks to start unloading.

There is already a small-scale settlement built on the edge of this crater named 'Grey Sea', because according to preliminary scans, this crater with a diameter of 500 kilometers was formed by the collision of an asteroid, so a large number of precious minerals are buried underground It is also turned to the surface, which is very convenient for mining.

Moreover, 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 groundwater body. It is one aspect to meet the needs of life and production. The most important thing is that these frozen groundwater bodies are the most critical materials for atmospheric modification.

Some high-tech pioneers have learned to drive SCVs, and they began to drive SCVs to assemble those Modular Residential Areas. There is also a huge inflatable enclosed Hydroponic Agricultural Area that is also being built, and the entire Colony is in full swing.

At this time, Volgograd Canidi has also come to the garage to check the Vehicles sent.

I only saw a huge gantry here, which contained 40 M-12 Warthogs and Troop Varients, and 80 M-290 Mongooses, and Canidi was also very curious about what Daphne Clement was looking for to replace the Vulture Hoverbike he needs.

However, when he saw the data and shape of these vehicles clearly, he immediately smiled.

The M-12 Warthog is a Wheeled Jeep with a length of 6.3 meters and a body height of 2.3 meters. It has a powerful Four-Wheel Independent Swing Arm Suspension System, All-Wheel Drive, and All-Wheel Steering. The four 1.2-Meter-High Explosion-Proof Tires also ensure the strong off-road performance of the Off-Road Vehicle.

The top speed of this off-road vehicle is 125 kilometers per hour, and the speed loss is extremely low even in the off-road state. Moreover, a 12L liquid-cooled hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine is used. This advanced internal combustion engine can directly decompose fresh water into hydrogen fuel, and then generate extremely high temperatures through the synthesis of carbon catalysts. At the same time, it can also be powered by solar energy.

Moreover, the off-road vehicles are equipped with an M-49 Vulcan three-Tube Light Anti-Aircraft Electromagnetic Vulcan, which has good firepower.

It can be said that this Off-Road Vehicle is completely tailored for the environment of Planet Kuna's Tooth! Kuna's Tooth has a thin atmosphere, and its ultraviolet rays are very strong, which also allows the Off-Road Vehicle's solar cells to be fully supplied with energy. Moreover, the planet is rich in underground water resources, which can easily meet the power needs of Vehicles. The Troop Warthog Varient is the same except the Turret on the roof is replaced with more seating with Razorback Troop Varients having Heavy Armor.

In fact, not only this planet but this Technology that can directly decompose fresh water into Hydrogen Fuel can be said to be powerful! This means that the logistics supply does not need to transport fuel separately, just bring more drinking water! In extreme cases, you can go a long way by peeing in the tank, but you have to clean the engine afterwards.

Look at another M-290 Mongoose, which is a bit like a Four-Wheel Off-Road Quadbike. 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 and is unarmed. It is also a very good All-Terrain Vehicle. It uses a 1000cc Liquid-Cooled Mid-Mounted Four-Stroke Hydrogen-Injected Internal Combustion Engine. Similarly, it can run with water! The M290 Mongoose is also capable of installing Twin Grenade Launchers on the front of the Vehicle.

After the delivery of the Light and Heavy Vehicles, the Colony has a preliminary defense capability, and can also detect and control a large area around it, which is really useful for the subsequent Colonial Expansion!

Without any hesitation, Canidi connected the Communication, called the driver to drive all these Vehicles out, and immediately set up several reconnaissance teams to start reconnaissance and patrolling the surrounding areas of the Colony.

In the next month, due to the large number of Modular Buildings delivered by Cargo Freighters, the Colony expanded very quickly. Within a month, the Colony could already accommodate 50,000 residents. And also started to open a Mine on the side of the crater, and opened four Groundwater Mining Facilities in a valley.

At present, don't expect the Colony to produce anything. The first goal is to let the Colony develop to accommodate all 500,000 pioneers of this batch, and the second goal is to make the Colony self-sufficient.

Tang Xiao's instructions were to make the Colony of Kuna's Tooth reach 1 million people in one year.

However, things can always change, and when the Colony of Kuna's Tooth was in full swing, the unexpected happened.

In fact, Planet Kuna's Tooth is not just the colony of the Fourth Civilization, there are also several small residential areas with thousands of residents. Most of these residents are from Planet Annaj, which is the largest habitable planet in the Morddel Sector and the most developed Civilization in this Sector.

This civilization is dominated by the Ayrou, with some humans.

Those small residential areas are also distributed in the gray sea, and everyone can see the unique environment of the gray sea. Naturally, the other party is also aware of this, and the residential area is built at the bottom of the crater.

Originally, the two sides were living in peace, but soon there was friction.

On this day, more than a dozen members of the Fourth Civilization Pioneering Group drove 3 Warthog Off-Road Vehicles and 3 Mongoose Off-Road Vehicles to the bottom of the Gray Sea, where they had previously installed a set of Drilling Equipment and prepared to explore the depths of the Gray Sea. To detect the ice layer in order to facilitate the formulation of a plan to build an Atmosphere Modification Facility and restore the planet's atmosphere.

However, when they came to the Drilling Equipment, they found that the equipment had been blown up!

"Those bantha shit! Bastards!!" the pioneer yelled, "This is the third time this week! What are those people thinking!"

He turned on the communication and said to Volgograd Canidi: "Sir! Our equipment was blown up by those people again!"

"Temporary retreat, we will talk about it after we negotiate with the Ayrou Civilization." Canidi sighed.

"Have there been no results after more than a week of negotiations?!" the Pioneer said loudly.

"This matter involves the peace between two planets and even two Civilizations. We should not draw conclusions hastily. Let's exercise restraint first." Canidi replied.

At this time, a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised from the other side, and only a group of people with Blaster Rifles on their backs drove this Hoverbike to come here. The first human jumped off the Hoverbike and said loudly: "You have crossed the line! Where did you come from? Go back and get lost!"
