Chapter 4: Piercing Through This Universe [Rewrite]

A soothing music woke Tang Xiao up from his sleep. He opened his eyes, looked at everything as usual around the environment, and scratched his head. It looked like he couldn't go back.

[ Supreme Commander, I'm sorry to bother you, but your decision is vital. ]Next to the communicator came the voice of Qi Jian.

Tang Xiao did not pay any attention, just stood up from the bed, went to the bathroom again, let the Brain turn to the temperature of the water too cold, and then severely washed his face.

He supported the washing table with both hands, looked up at himself, who was pale because of the cold, and clenched his teeth. After a long time, he suddenly got up and put on his clothes. "Brain! Lead the way to the Bridge!"

"Supreme Commander, I'm sorry to bother you." Arriving at the Bridge Command Center, Qi Jian saluted Tang Xiao respectfully.

"Say it."

"The Engineering Team has set up Two Mining Stations near the Gas Giant, and Two Transport Ships of Helium-3 have been sent back and refined while you're resting. Now we're ready to take off more Spaceship, especially Transport Ships that need to fly back and forth between Dawn and the Mothership." Qi Jian said.

"Go on."

"And then... The Recon Team had reported back and had made an initial selection of 17 Landing Sites, one of which we could select to unfold the Landing Point." Qi Jian said as he opened a screen for Tang Xiao.

"Landing point? Does this need to come to me specifically?" Tang Xiao was a little strange.

Qi Jian replied solemnly, "Supreme Commander, this first Colony is likely to be our Capital in the future. I...I dare not presume..."

Tang Xiao nodded. He raised his finger just to point down but saw Qi Jian's complex eyes.

His eyes were filled with anticipation, pride, and a slight unease. His fists were clenched and trembling slightly, trying to control his excitementand not just his, but the rest of the Bridge.

Tang Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There were 600,000 peoplemaybe another 5 Billionand their starting point would be determined by the touch of his fingers.

He looked back at the screen, this time carefully comparing the Landing Points, the knowledge that had been stuffed in his mind pouring out like water from a gate.

He combined the knowledge he learned, and chose a mountain and a large area of grassland, pointing to this place to Qi Jian and saying: "Just here, here the latitude is moderate, and there are water sources around. There is also a hilly area of more than 1,000 meters above sea level as a Commanding Point for Defense. We will send 20 Marines to land and start construction of the Settlement immediately after establishing the Defence Line.

"Yes! Supreme Commander! This is our first Colony! Our first step into this Universe!!" Qi Jian was a little excited and immediately arranged the work.

After determining the Landing Point, all aspects of the work immediately started. The people inside the Hibernation Cabins are experts in all aspects, and the Crew have begun to perform their respective functions. Tang Xiao does not need to give detailed guidance.

Soon, a Transport Ship with 20 Marines and 50 Construction Workers took off from the Mothership and landed on Dawn. The Marines fanned out to chase away wildlife and drop their Locator Beacons while the Construction Workers began to assemble their Mechanized Exoskeletons for Engineering.

"Beacon Signal normal, Supreme Commander, ready to put the Mothership into synchronous orbit." Qi Jian confirmed the Beacon Signal after Tang Xiao said.

Tang Xiao nodded and said to the Operator on the Bridge Operation Platform: "Enter into a Synchronous Orbit of Dawn and keep the Mothership above the Beacon at all times. Brain, you to assist."

[Understood. ]

The Engines of the Kushan Mothership, which are more than 41,300 Meters High, started up again, and the mighty force propelling this 370-Billion-Ton Behemoth began to move forward, falling continuously into the Outer Circle of Gravity of the Moon and then started to maintain the same speed as the rotation of the Moon.

When approaching Dawn's orbit, the Mothership's huge mass caused several 3to 5-Magnitude Earthquakes and Groundwater Injection Phenomena on the surface of the Moon.

Once in Orbit, due to the Centripetal Force and Inertia of the Moon's Rotation, the Mothership needed very little power to maintain navigation. Keeping in sync with Ground Beacons, a hatch in the center of the Mothership opens, and an Orbital Drop-Off Module is launched.

Due to friction in the atmosphere, the surrounding air began to burn, and from the ground, it seemed to fall toward the ground like a meteor. Just before it hits the ground, the reverse Engine of the Capsule starts to shoot out a roaring flame towards the ground, helping the Capsule to land smoothly.

Construction Workers, who were already at the ready, opened the Capsule and assembled the Modular Housing made of Ultralight Materials inside. The Shell of the Capsule is the Outer Wall of the building. In less than 20 minutes, a Two-Story Building was built.

The Mothership launched at a rate of every 10 minutes and dropped Buildings, including Housing, Solar and Wind Power, Water Purification and so on.

Tang Xiao also selected some Farmers and Maintenance Workers among the 600,000 Frozen Hibernating Residents to wake up and then let them land on the Transport Ship to Dawn. He also selected a person named Graham from this group and appointed him as the Village Head. This Small Colony, which has a total of less than 100 people, is really a Tiny Village.

Once the Colony had begun, everything proceeded in a methodical rhythm. Tang Xiao stretched and stood up. Looking at the busy people, his heart was still a little heavy.

Looking at the Vast Universe outside the porthole on the other side, Tang Xiao involuntarily walked over, saw the Stars, which he does not know how many Light-Years Away, and thought of the inexplicable dream that may have caused him to cross. He stroked the cold porthole just as he stroked the Distant Stars, and a flame gradually began to burn in his heart.

Returning to his seat, Tang commanded, "Brain, pull up the Data I need. I have many things to do."

[Understood, Supreme Commander. ]

He was a little resigned now, and there was a vague sense that he could not return. If that's the case, if he continues to be so muddled, then maybe one day, when the Star Destroyer arrives, his force will still be destitute.

What's more, Tang Xiao just saw Qi Jian's and the Crew's fanatical and looking forward eyes. He also understands that he cannot live up to them, and... If this Mothership is really the return given by the so-called fate...Well...

Tang Xiao sat back on the Main Seat of the Bridge and opened the entry of the Colonial Plan to see. He needed to understand what difficulties he would face, how to solve them, and the most he should understand, how to establish a Colony.

Establishing their own Solid Force is always the best choice in the case of an unknown environment and rapid development.

Pressing down the confusion and unease in his heart, Tang Xiao opened the "Guide to the Construction of Star Colonies" entry and the document.

His eyes also gradually began to become firey!

This is mineit's all mine! Those Endless Pieces of Technology! The Endless Talents! With such a foundation, I should...

That's right...

I should Pierce Through This Universe!!
