(Chapter 29) The Beginning of Farming
Since there is no large berth on the ground, behemoths like the Queen of Glory have to continue to dock in the planet's orbit.
After successfully getting in touch with the management AI of the old colony, Gu Fan boarded the Valkyrie gunboat accompanied by Xuefeng and Lilim, and sailed into Kata Star with a standard 12-person team of Iron Guards.
Sitting in the spacious cabin, unlike those abnormal environments where the air is thin or poisonous, the atmosphere of Kata is obviously much milder, even more refreshing than that of the former home planet, Earth.
Under Gu Fan's order, the gunboat's control system sailed smoothly above the magnificent forest on the surface at a relatively slow cruising speed.
Not for any other reason, but because he wanted to appreciate the refreshing scenery like a sea of green, forests, peaks and lakes, and strange creatures flying in the sky.
From the outside, this place is indeed a rare natural paradise, and it is not surprising that the original group of human colonists made this a protected area for studying the planet's ecology.
Not long after, when the Valkyrie gunboat gradually approached an extraordinarily dense jungle, with the help of the light of the stars, I saw that the scenery on the ground was becoming more and more unreal.
After only a moment, the dense forest was gone, replaced by an oval-shaped black energy shield, which was completely upside down in the wide flat ground.
- [Curtain System]
Like the robe that Gu Fan was wearing, it was a more efficient and wide-ranging camouflage, even with the use of professional equipment, in most cases, unless it was actively lifted, it was almost impossible for outsiders to detect those targets covered by the curtain.
As the spaceship took the initiative to enter the translucent energy shield, I saw a colony base converted from a colony spaceship appear on the ground.
Judging from the number of buildings, it can be regarded as beginning to take shape.
......
......
In a few moments, the gunboat landed smoothly in the central clearing of the colony, where hundreds of old synths had already received orders to wait.
These older models, which look significantly different from humans, have the most basic intelligence cores in their processors, which are still much smarter than the legion puppets that are used to consume them in the ship.
Not far away, a slightly large tracked robot immediately caught Gu Fan's attention, judging from the number on the other party's body, E-114514, it should be the AI consultant responsible for the development of this colony.
When the group stepped out of the cabin, they heard the AI consultant, who was as sleek as a trash can, shout in a rather cheerful tone.
"Welcome Mr. Gu Fan to the scientific research colony led by Dr. Noira!"
At the same time, hundreds of synths on the side also shouted the same slogan, and such a scene undoubtedly gave the unprepared Gu Fan an opening lightning strike.
Because he even saw a holographic standing card held aloft at the end of the line, with its own name on it, surrounded by a ring of glittering neon lights......
How did it look like an idol meeting?
Gu Fan is not a character who likes big scenes, and such an unexpected scene obviously makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Apparently this strange ritual was presumably influenced by the previous administrator.
......
......
I don't know how long it took, but under the introduction of the consultant AI that looked like a trash can, Gu Fan already had a basic understanding of this colony called Kata II.
Much like the Longmen Factory, the colony has been in a semi-deserted state for nearly 1,100 years.
However, the colony is not very large, and the number of synths that can be used to maintain the building is very large, so the entire colony, and even the external conservation park, are managed in an orderly manner to this day.
At the same time, although it is only a small scientific research colony, the building facilities here are surprisingly quite complete.
To the east is a command center converted from a colonial ship.
In the northwest corner is an organic conversion plant that supplies energy to the entire colony.
To the south is a large equipment workshop.
The most important of these is a scientific research center located underground, which retains a large number of precious scientific and technological materials, and even has a rare deconstructor in the center.
It is an analytical device that can be used to analyze the form of matter and the characteristics of technology, as long as it is scanned, most of the scientific and technological products or the characteristics of unknown materials, and even the operating principle can be quickly analyzed.
To put it simply, with the help of the deconstructor, Gu Fan can research and crack some technologies that have not yet been unlocked, and even those technologies from other races can be analyzed and used by him.
In addition, the colonies have also made a lot of considerations in their daily security guarantees, and it can be seen that these colonists have indeed made sufficient preparations before setting off again.
Just as the introduction of the scene was about to come to an end, I suddenly heard the consultant AI say an incredible suggestion in an excited voice.
"That's right! Would you like to meet Dr. Noira? You're the first guests to arrive in such a long time, and she's sure to be happy to meet you. ”
Noira? If I remember correctly, it was the original person in charge of this camp, but the problem is that it was more than a thousand years ago.
Even after genetic modification surgery, without the support of other means, a normal person's lifespan will not exceed 400 years at most.
Eventually, led by the crawler robot, the group followed to the rear of the base and stopped in front of a hillside where they could see the whole base.
I saw a small tombstone waiting quietly, and a white and immaculate crystal picture frame was placed in front of the spotless stone tablet.
Inside the crystal is a laser-engraved color photograph, and although she is called a doctor, the portrait depicts a young and lovely girl like a snowy wind.
In the photo, she is holding a furry creature in her arms, and the smile on her face is so bright.
At this moment, the consultant AI on the side spoke again.
"For Dr. Noira, this base and this campus is all she has to offer, and if you plan to take over this base in the future, I hope you will treat it as well as possible."
Obviously, the other side had expected the fact that the colony would have a new owner.
Hearing this, Gu Fan didn't speak, just quietly looked at the girl in the photo.
After a long time, he raised his head and returned his gaze to this refreshing emerald earth.
He already has a long-term plan in mind for the future, and all of this will be based on this undeveloped virgin land.
The flag of the Empire will be re-erected in this rainforest, and this will be the starting point for it all.
For a moment, I only heard Gu Fan whisper as if talking to himself.
"Yes, I will."
