Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

Chapter 181 Speed ​​increased by 50%!

In addition to the numerous large scientific facilities, Li Qingsong is also working on a high-energy laser laboratory simultaneously - this is used to create extremely high temperatures to study the changes in matter under extremely high temperatures;

High-pressure laboratory - This is used to create extremely high pressures to simulate the changes in the state of matter in places with extremely high pressures such as the cores of gas giant planets and the cores of stars;

Quantum Simulation and Precision Measurement Laboratory - This is used to study the behavior of quantum many-body systems, quantum entanglement, and the measurement of fundamental constants;

And what Li Qingsong values ​​most is the molecular biology laboratory, which is used to comprehensively analyze the genomes of humans and other organisms at the molecular level, find more optimized gene editing plans and technologies, and build many other large scientific facilities.

This large scientific facility is different from previous laboratories, such as metal materials laboratories, stress testing laboratories, chemical laboratories, etc., which are used to study application-level technologies.

If this kind of large-scale scientific device were put into the human era, any one of them would require extremely huge amounts of funds and personnel allocation. The initial feasibility verification alone would take several years, and the subsequent construction, debugging, etc. would require a lot of time.

This is true even for the Bluetook civilization.

Which major scientific facility does not attract the attention of the entire nation? Which major scientific facility does not cost a huge amount of money and take a long time to build?

Only the most powerful countries have the ability to build large scientific facilities. A country with slightly weaker national strength cannot even think about it.

But to Li Qingsong at this moment, this large scientific device, which can be regarded as a national treasure, is like worthless cabbage.

Various large scientific facilities, including particle colliders, neutrino telescopes, gravitational wave telescopes, optical and radio array telescopes, high-energy laboratories, etc. Li Qingsong planned more than 1,500 of them in one go, and they were launched and built at the same time!

How much basic scientific data can more than 1,500 large scientific facilities produce?

Every time a particle collider collides, the data generated is calculated in TBs.

A set of optical array telescopes can generate deep-space data in PBs in one observation.

After preliminary analysis and processing, these data will be transformed from basic physics to applied physics.

At this time, those laboratories at the applied physics level will come in handy. They will carry out follow-up research on this basis, and develop various new machines, new materials, more advanced structures, more advanced thrusters, armor, reactors and other technological creations to truly transform technology into productivity and combat effectiveness.

Their scale is generally smaller than that of large scientific facilities, but their number is more than ten or a hundred times that of large scientific facilities.

Therefore, with large scientific facilities as the source, applied physics laboratories as the middle, and final applications as the end, the entire scientific research system began to operate rapidly under the joint support of more than one billion clones controlled by Li Qingsong and more than 10 million blueprint scientific research scholars.

At the same time, in addition to the three simultaneous tasks of fully verifying the scientific conjectures of the past stage, building large scientific facilities to launch breakthroughs in basic physics theories, and operating the applied physics laboratory at full power to achieve technological transformation, Li Qingsong is also carrying out another crucial task.

Hundreds of years of interstellar voyages had allowed Li Qingsong to accumulate a lot of experience and knowledge about interstellar navigation. Based on these things, Li Qingsong had a new guess in his mind.

There are two key factors that restrict the interstellar travel speed of electroweak civilizations.

First, it cannot carry too much supplies. At the same time, its energy conversion efficiency is low and the material consumption is too great, so it can only sail at a lower speed.

Because if the speed is too fast, there will not be enough fuel to slow down.

The second is that the problem of particle collisions cannot be solved. If the speed is too fast, the outer shell of the spacecraft will be severely weakened, and even the spacecraft will disintegrate.

But these two factors are only applicable to ordinary electroweak-level civilizations.

As a form of existence that is somewhat similar to a "natural disaster", the huge industrial capacity I possess may allow me to avoid these two restrictions.

For the first problem, I can solve it by building more spaceships and carrying more supplies. As for the second problem, since particle impacts will have a serious impact on the material of the spaceship, then... maybe I can cover the outer shell of the spaceship with a layer of protective film?

In this case, particle impacts can only affect the protective film and not the spacecraft armor.

Obviously, the protective film will continue to wear out and need to be replaced. This ultimately becomes a problem of carrying supplies.

And they happen to be able to carry more supplies than ordinary civilizations.

Add to that the numerous tiny improvements that the technological accumulation of the previous hundreds of years has brought to all aspects of the spacecraft. All in all, perhaps during the next interstellar voyage, I could try to use the technological strength of an electroweak-level civilization to reach a speed of 6% or even 8% of the speed of light?

Previously, the speed of the Bluetuk fleet was 3% of the speed of light. Previously, my own speed was 4% of the speed of light.

Even if the speed can't be increased to 8% of the speed of light, but can only be increased to 6%, it is equivalent to an increase of 50%!

With a 50% improvement, how much time will be saved on your journey?

How much will the probability of escaping the pursuit of the intelligent mechanical scourge increase?

The implications behind this technology made Li Qingsong feel excited.

In particular, after the preliminary feasibility assessment, Li Qingsong believes that he has a great chance of achieving this!

Regardless of whether the current scientific research can bear fruit and how much fruit it can bear, at least there is great hope for technological breakthroughs in terms of navigation speed.

Therefore, Li Qingsong, regardless of the fact that the mental demands in other areas were already highly strained, once again allocated a part of his clones and brainpower to the research and development of speed-related technologies.

At this moment, Li Qingsong has truly given his all.

How much technological impetus can be generated by combining more than one billion clones with no internal friction, no entertainment, no communication costs, and no other needs except scientific research, with more than 10 million scientific researchers who have limited capabilities compared to themselves but can play a good role in clearing blind spots in thinking and providing blueprints for inspiration?

Li Qingsong has not calculated it in detail, but he knows that it must be so huge that it is almost unimaginable for previous human civilization and Blueprint civilization.

At this moment, this huge technological driving force is all invested in the scientific research task that is almost unimaginable for ordinary civilizations.

Faced with the threat of the artificial intelligence disaster, Li Qingsong dared not be negligent in the slightest.

At this moment, Li Qingsong only hopes that he can have a little more time, a little more. As long as he can develop technology here safely and steadily, he will be satisfied.

But not long after many large scientific facilities were built, a clone consciousness connection from the distant deep space broke the peace here.
