Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

Li Qingsong was somewhat shocked to see that the body fluids of this strange bird were not only rich in various amino acids, proteins and active enzymes, but also contained a variety of sugars.

Although the specific types are not the same as the life on Earth, there is no doubt that they are indeed the things that Li Qingsong is very familiar with.

This is a very strange thing.

Amino acids, proteins, etc., are currently considered to be unique to life on Earth. As a space life, does this strange bird maintain its life through the same mechanism as life on Earth?

What is its relationship to life on Earth?

After thinking for a moment, Li Qingsong temporarily put aside his exploration of this issue.

Now the Deep Space spacecraft has been controlled by himself and hidden in deep space, and the genetic analysis equipment is only on it.

"The life form of the strange bird also seems to be based on DNA and RNA. Once this incident is resolved and the Deep Space spacecraft returns, we can do a genetic analysis on it and everything will become clear."

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Qingsong's attention quickly shifted to another matter.

Since the body fluids of this strange bird are so nutritious...then, can they be used to cultivate clones?

One of the major limitations that currently prevents me from cultivating higher quality clones and thereby gaining more consciousness link shares and controlling more clones is that I cannot produce more nutritious culture fluid and cannot allow cells to develop according to the genetic optimization plan I have developed!

The nutrition here does not simply refer to things like sugars, proteins, and fats. If that were the case, Li Qingsong would have grown so many beets and sugarcane that he could easily soak the clones in white sugar.

But this obviously won't allow clones to develop.

The nutrients needed by clones are nutrients that are concentrated on early cell division and early embryonic development, and require easy absorption, reasonable proportions, and reasonable types, among many other requirements.

The more optimized the genetic plan, the higher the requirement for culture medium when the cells develop according to this plan. It is possible that just a slight difference will cause the cells to fail to develop, or fail to develop according to the original plan, thus causing the whole body to become deformed.

However, the nutritional type of this strange bird's body fluid seems to be very consistent with his requirements!

Due to the limitations of current technical conditions, Li Qingsong can only make a rough judgment. As for whether the body fluid contains any trace impurities and how much they contain, he has no way of telling.

But it doesn’t matter, just use it first.

What should I do if there are impurities and the cultivation fails?

If it fails, just destroy it as a deformed fetus. What else can you do?

Li Qingsong was too lazy to even use mice, rabbits, pigs, cows, sheep and the like for the experiment. He simply took his own cell samples, filtered, purified and extracted the body fluids of the strange bird according to the process, and then poured it directly into the culture tank.

Not just one, they made 100 at once.

Whether it will succeed or not will become clear in half a year.

Since the physiological analysis of the strange bird could not be carried out for the time being, Li Qingsong no longer paid attention to it and shifted his attention to another thing.

Develop an internal combustion engine that uses methane and pure oxygen as fuel!

By now, Li Qingsong had discovered the limitations of electrified vehicles.

They place too high demands on the logistical network.

There must be an electricity grid and batteries. There must be a charging station within a radius of 200 kilometers around the workplace.

They can't get far from the base.

This model is not a big deal when there are no external enemies. Anyway, the infrastructure can be laid out slowly and there is no need to worry about it being destroyed.

But the arrival of the strange bird immediately exposed this limitation.

Just like now, battery-powered reconnaissance vehicles can only go up to 200 kilometers away from the base, and cannot reach any further.

At present, we cannot build aircraft, so it is impossible to conduct global reconnaissance of Luoshen.

But the internal combustion engine is different.

A car weighing three tons only needs eight liters of liquid methane and oxygen to run 100 kilometers.

The diameter of Roselle is about 2,350 kilometers. It takes less than 7,400 kilometers to circle Roselle. A car with 600 liters of fuel can complete one circle.

What's more, we have to develop tanks, armored vehicles and the like in the future. Charging is not so convenient in a battlefield environment, but replenishing methane and oxygen is much more convenient, and a methane tanker will do.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Li Qingsong decided to develop the internal combustion engine.

The principle of the internal combustion engine is also very simple. It is nothing more than methane and oxygen burning in the combustion chamber to generate high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which pushes the piston and then drives the crankshaft to do work.

With current technology, Li Qingsong cannot achieve the same efficiency levels as in the Earth era, but there is no need to pursue such high levels. As the saying goes, as long as it works, it's fine.

So hundreds of clones were put into this task.

Still following the previous model, some parts are customized in the laboratory to assemble the most primitive internal combustion engine, and try to make them run and do external work, and then optimize the structure bit by bit to improve the performance.

Anyway, the principle is there, and it is not difficult to build a primitive internal combustion engine.

Subsequent improvement and optimization is a delicate job that requires a lot of time and technical accumulation.

But it still didn't matter. Hundreds of clones who had mastered all the engine technologies at the time tried hundreds of optimization routes at the same time. When one clone made a discovery, it was immediately synchronized to all the other clones, and then continued to optimize and develop on this basis. In just less than ten days, the first practical internal combustion engine was completed.

At this time, hundreds of other clones who were developing transmission, body structure, steering system, and braking system also completed their own research and development work simultaneously.

Therefore, this newly developed internal combustion engine "heart" was installed into the car body.

The gasoline car built by Li Qingsong is about two meters high, three meters wide and five meters long.

Its body is fully enclosed, equipped with an air circulation system and a thermal insulation system, and has certain anti-radiation properties.

The specially reinforced body of the tank can withstand the short-term strafing of the Assault Type 1 without breaking.

But if they keep shooting and hitting us, we won't be able to withstand it.

Its total mass reaches 2.8 tons, and when fully loaded, it can reach about 3.5 tons.

It is powered by two "oil" tanks.

One of the tanks has a capacity of 100 liters and is filled with methane, while the other has a capacity of 200 liters and is filled with oxygen.

With a full tank of gas, it can travel about 3,000 kilometers.

Besides that, it also has a spare fuel tank.

The spare fuel tank can be large or small, and can hold up to more than one thousand liters of methane and oxygen, which can not only drive the car forward, but also provide breathing for the clones.

At this moment, under the operation of the driver's clone, it suddenly roared.
