Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: The Gift is Small but the Feeling is Great

Chapter 32, Gifts are less than sentiments.

The news of the cult’s growth has made everyone in Fuxing City busy.

As the initiator of the incident, the Governor-General was not in a hurry at the moment.

The next morning, he began to contact the Quintet in the sky again to solve the problem of food rations in the territory.

Ye Lixia still didn’t look good to him.

Gu Hang didn’t care about it, and even understood it very well.

If it were him, he would react more than Ye Lixia if he was fleeced every day.

——Then, considering that I am so considerate, can you give me the synthetic starch technology?

Of course, Gu Hang knew that he couldn’t ask for it for nothing, and he had to give something.

“Brigadier General Ye Lixia, I have brought you another good news!”

Hearing this, Ye Lixia remembered the 3,000 slaves, 300 mecha soldiers, a bunch of weapons and equipment, and four Wanderer Vs she had lost.

Heartache.

As for the fact that she had given away a Marine captain before?

Is that true? I don’t remember.

Ye Lishia said with a straight face: “Good news from the Governor, every time it’s very expensive.”

“How could that be? I’m sharing our achievements with the best partners.”

“If you have something serious to say, please speak up.”

“I have already got some clues about the heresy that has grown on the Wrathful Owl Star. I caught a cultist who turned out to be a senior official in the government of this planet!”

Hearing this, Ye Lishia became serious: “Has it deteriorated to this point? Tell me where the enemy is and I will destroy them.”

“No, no, no, it’s not time yet. I will soon find the specific traces of those cultists. At that time, you may need to send out elite marines, or even the power of the ship’s church, to help me purify those heretics.”

“You can, but it would be best if you could create an opportunity for me to conduct direct orbital bombing.”

“I’ll try my best.”

There was nothing Ye Lishia couldn’t agree to. Orbital bombing was the most convenient. If the marines were required to attack, that was also possible. She didn’t object, as long as it was a merit.

Moreover, this way of sending the Marines to fight is different from the previous way of saying that people are “borrowed”, but in fact it is no different from sending. The people who are “borrowed” to Gu Hang have been working under Gu Hang for a long time. As for the mission, whether to fight and how to fight, the entire command system is still under the control of the starship. At most, Gu Hang only provides a target and some reference suggestions. It

is not a conceptual thing at all.

Ye Lixia’s expression calmed down a little, and she felt a little relaxed.

The investment in this governor can finally see a little hope of return.

Clearing out the cult heresy entrenched in the city where the planetary government is headquartered is more or less something that can be talked about.

Although it is not big, there is a return, there is expectation, and there are still two years to go.

Ye Lixia, whose mood has improved, asked a question that she regretted later: “Very good, is there anything else?”

“Yes, I need synthetic starch technology.”

Ye Lixia’s face froze.

I thought you were just here to report some news, but you’re here to ask for something, right?

“I’m only responsible for fighting the enemies of the empire,” Ye Lixia said, “supporting construction is not my job.”

“This is to fight the enemies of the empire!” Gu Hang argued, “What’s the core of the breeding of cults? It’s because the people can’t see hope. They can’t even get enough food to eat, so they are easily bewitched by cults. Synthetic starch technology can help us solve this problem.”

Ye Lixia felt that what Gu Hang said made sense, but…can saving people in this way be considered the navy’s achievement?

While she was thinking, Gu Hang’s voice came again: “Brigadier General Ye Lixia, please understand that when we face the enemy, it is of course necessary to destroy it with thunder. But if the situation deteriorates to the point where it is uncontrollable and requires complete destruction to achieve salvation, it may not be a good thing.”

“The cult corrupted a city and then destroyed it; or, the cult heresy spread to a terrible extent, but was wiped out under the command of the Brigadier General, and hundreds of thousands of subjects of the empire were saved. Please compare these two statements, which one is better?”

Destroyer or savior…

It seems that the former is cooler, but in the empire – at least in the Pegasus region – the latter has more gold content.

What’s more, the identity of the savior is more in line with Ye Lixia’s mission this time. She came to the orbit of the Angry Owl Star for two years, not to strike and destroy any enemies, but to assist the governor in reviving the planet.

At this point, Ye Lixia had to admit that Gu Hang’s statement once again touched him.

She began to think about how to give Gu Hang the synthetic starch technology? Is the price high?

The conclusion is, not too high.

Of course, there is synthetic starch technology on the starship. During the long interstellar journey, it is difficult to get supplies. This ability to recycle almost all organic matter and turn it into edible starch blocks is an important auxiliary technology.

However, although it is important, the synthetic starch machine is not often used. In non-wartime, the starship can get supplies more smoothly, and no one is willing to eat starch blocks.

At present, the food stored on the “Quinte” is still relatively abundant, enough to last for several years.

Moreover, there is more than one synthetic starch machine on the starship. Sending one down is not a big problem.

Of course, what Gu Hang wants is technology, not just a machine. But this is not a problem. Throwing the technician in charge of logistics on the starship down with a machine and some parts should be able to meet Gu Hang’s requirements.

In theory, this is enough for Gu Hang to produce the synthetic starch manufacturing machine on his own, provided that he has a certain industrial foundation.

If not, then Ye Lixia can only say that she can’t help: I’m not your mother, can I feed you milk directly?

“I agree.”

…

Ye Lixia gave in, and a transport plane carrying technicians and equipment came to the surface. On the way back, Gu Hang loaded a lot of supplies for them.

According to him, this was a thank-you gift to Brigadier General Ye Lixia, and it was a specialty of the Angry Owl Star. But in fact, it was just a small part of the food and textile supplies transported from Fuxing City that was allocated to the sky.

It is not meaningless, it can improve the food for the people on the starship and provide some supplies.

After all, it is to express that the Governor is not eating for free!

As for the difference in value between the two… the gift is small but the sentiment is great!

After watching the transport plane fly away, Gu Hang plunged into the plan of expanding production.
