Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

"Unfortunately, after this upgrade, the potential of the monster bird's body fluid has been squeezed out by me. If I want to cultivate high-quality clones in the future, I will have to study biotechnology myself."

Li Qingsong thought with a little regret, but he became excited the next moment.

"Once this latest batch of clones is cultivated, my consciousness connection number will be able to increase to over a million, and several major projects can be started simultaneously!"

Half a year passed quietly as Li Qingsong worked hard to ensure the upgrading and transformation of the production lines of various warship components, as well as the expansion of production capacity at the mining and purification ends.

During this six months, the factory that prepared the culture medium with a new formula finally produced enough culture medium for one round of cultivation, that is, 150,000 doses of culture medium. The new upgrade and transformation of the clone cultivation factory has also been completed.

A new batch of 150,000 clones has begun to be cultivated, and the 100 high-quality clones cultivated in small batches before have also reached the time to be born.

As soon as they were born, Li Qingsong immediately extended the consciousness link to them.

After a brief feeling, Li Qingsong was shocked to find that the maximum number of consciousness connections of this latest clone had exceeded 1 million, reaching 1.07 million!

But he was not the one with the highest number of consciousness connections. After switching bodies again and sensing all 100 clones, Li Qingsong discovered that one clone had a connection number as high as 1,095,500!

Close to 1.1 million!

"Yes, very good."

Li Qingsong immediately transferred into this body, and at the same time controlled his consciousness to start connecting with the other clones.

In an instant, approximately 400,000 clones that had not been connected were included in the connection range.

Although they are all "low-quality clones" of the previous generation and their average brain power is much worse than the clones used now, the accumulation of numbers can also cause qualitative changes.

With a surge of brain power coming, Li Qingsong once again felt that his brain power had been greatly improved instantly.

"With these 400,000 clones, we can now start all the work that we couldn't do before."

Previously, the production lines for various parts needed for the warships had been upgraded, but due to insufficient manpower, they had to maintain a low production level.

All the new oxygen mines, Tolin mines, methane mines, ethane mines, formaldehyde mines, etc., also have to remain vacant after they are built because there are not enough people.

The blueprints for the large-scale comprehensive space base have already been completed, but at this moment only some initial building materials have been transported and formal construction has not yet begun.

But now, with the addition of these 400,000 clones, everything is different.

The originally empty production line was instantly filled with well-trained high-end workers who were more skilled than the old technical workers and had a full range of knowledge reserves.

This level of high-end workers, who on earth is not a popular commodity that major factories compete to offer millions of dollars a year. But for Li Qingsong, any toilet cleaner is one.

All the vacant mines, refineries, metallurgical plants, and foundries were staffed in an instant.

The technical research and development of the deep space communication network, which had been difficult at first, began to progress rapidly after the addition of 10,000 new clones.

The only areas that are a bit stressful are the planting, breeding and aquaculture bases.

Obviously, with the further increase in Li Qingsong's maximum number of consciousness connections, the total number of people under his command will also skyrocket.

At Li Qingsong's current breeding speed, 300,000 new clones will be born every year. In just a few years, the total population will surge to more than 5 million.

5 million clones will consume 150,000 tons of meat, 100,000 tons of eggs, 100,000 tons of milk, 1.2 million tons of vegetables and 600,000 tons of grain in a year!

Just 15,000 tons of salt are consumed every year!

If we include miscellaneous items such as fruit and sugar, the total annual consumption will reach 3 million tons.

"But it doesn't matter."

Li Qingsong thought: "The more food is consumed, the more people there are. The more people there are, the higher the productivity will be. If there is not enough food, we can just build another food base."

Therefore, along with the construction of more than ten super-giant grain production bases, numerous cargo and combat spacecraft were also produced.

Huge amounts of building materials began to be transported into space. Tens of thousands of clones wearing space suits worked day and night, holding vacuum welding guns, driving various industrial construction spacecraft, etc., and built this space base bit by bit in the vast and empty space.

At the same time, various war preparation materials began to be produced at full capacity.

On the bullet production line, steel, copper, tin, aluminum, etc. from various mineral bases are processed by large equipment and flow out from the conveyor belt like water. One production line can produce 1,000 bullets per minute, which means 1.44 million bullets per day.

Li Qingsong currently owns 100 such production lines!

The daily output is 144 million pieces!

On the standard model artillery shell production line, standard artillery shells weighing 15KG are also produced continuously, with one production line producing 2,000 shells a day.

Li Qingsong also owns 100 such production lines, which can produce 200,000 artillery shells a day.

Interstellar missiles are relatively complex and require high technical content, so they cannot be produced too quickly. But even if a single interstellar missile weighs 600KG, Li Qingsong still produces 2,000 missiles a day!

In addition to the standard models of interstellar missiles, Li Qingsong also developed more types of interstellar missiles, such as high-power missiles with doubled warhead charge, high-speed missiles with halved warhead charge but doubled propellant, shotgun missiles with the same warhead charge but a large number of additional pellets, and so on.

Assuming that the charge of a bullet is 0.5 grams, the charge and propellant of a shell is 8 kg in total, and the charge of an interstellar missile is 150 kg on average, the average amount of gunpowder Li Qingsong needs every day is about 2,000 tons, which is 730,000 tons a year.

It would take three or four factories with an annual output of 200,000 tons of explosives running at full capacity to supply the demand.

This is just the charge. The rest include bullet bodies, shell casings, interstellar missile parts, and most importantly, spacecraft casings and parts, as well as the building materials needed for space bases and the fuel needed for cargo ships to transport supplies...

All in all, the 1.1 million clones working at this moment produce an average of hundreds of millions of tons of materials and equipment each year.

With cargo ships constantly transporting building materials and supplies into space, tens of thousands of clones working day and night in space, and millions of clones struggling non-stop in ground bases, in just less than two years, the first two of the three goals set by Li Qingsong had been achieved.

The third update is finished!!! There will be another three updates tomorrow! Please read on and give me your monthly votes!!!
