There are a lot of stinks around Port Sandor, though the ventilation system carries most of them off before they can spread out of their own areas. The plant that reprocesses sewage to get organic nutrients for the hydroponic farms, and the plant that digests hydroponic vegetation to make nutrients for the carniculture vats. The carniculture vats themselves aren't any flower gardens.
I was going between a broken-down press from the lumber plant and a leaky 500-gallon pressure cooker from the carniculture nutrient plant when I heard something moving behind me, and I was suddenly very glad that I hadn't let myself be talked into leaving my pistol behind.
"Otherwise, what would he want with all that air-and-water and hydroponic and carniculture stuff?" The Old Federation area was full of non-Terra-type planets, and why should anybody bother going to any of them? Any planet that wasn't oxygen-atmosphere, six to eight thousand miles in diameter, and within a narrow surface-temperature range, wasn't worth wasting time on.
Instead, he was watching the cargo come off food-stuffs, now and wanted to know if we had to import everything we needed. "Oh, no. We're going in on the Bottom Level, which is mainly storage, but we have hydroponic farms for our vegetables and carniculture plants for meat on the Second and Third Levels. That's counting down from the Main City Level.
We must save the Terran-type crops and the carniculture plants. If we don't, we all starve." Miles nodded. There wasn't anything he could think of saying to that. "How soon can you begin to show results with those shoonoon, Mr. Gilbert?" the general asked. "You said from twenty-five to thirty hours. Can you cut that any? In twenty-five hours, all hell could be loose all over the continent."
And he was buying all the air-and-water recycling equipment, and all the carniculture and hydroponic equipment, he could get." That was something to know. He thanked the Space Viking, and then asked: "Did he know, at the time, that I'm out here hunting for him?" "If he did, nobody else on Jagannath did. I didn't hear about it, myself, till six months afterward."
I went on telling him about our hydroponic farms, and the carniculture plant where any kind of animal tissue we wanted was grown Terran pork and beef and poultry, Freyan zhoumy meat, Zarathustran veldtbeest.... He knew, already, that none of the native life-forms, animal or vegetable, were edible by Terrans. "You can get all the paté de foie gras you want here," I said.
