Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 246 War Mode
In this vast void, where there are no macroscopic celestial bodies within tens of trillions of kilometers around, Li Qingsong is devoting all his energy to construction.

More than 20 billion clones work in three shifts every day, maintaining a state where 15 billion clones are on the front line of work at all times. In addition to the approximately 3 million blueprint people absorbed into the industrial system, Li Qingsong is working at full capacity.

Numerous new quantum supercomputers, boasting higher computing power and capable of supporting more intelligent algorithms, are operating at full capacity, fully supporting the operations of Shengong AI. Under Shengong AI's control, hundreds of thousands, even trillions, of general-purpose robots and intelligent machines dare not rest for a moment.

One ferry and transport ship after another shuttled back and forth between large industrial ships, transferring millions or even tens of millions of tons of materials every minute and every second.
Factories roared and sang, producing countless parts with the abundant electricity from the hydrogen fusion power plant. Eventually, all of them were transported to giant shipyards and assembled into new spacecraft.

Under Li Qingsong's control, this space became a busy construction site.

Moreover, this construction site is traveling at a high speed of about 2.4 kilometers per second.

Time passed quietly, and Li Qingsong's huge fleet was like the earth that had passed winter and gradually welcomed spring, changing its appearance bit by bit.

Finally, after several decades of hard work, Li Qingsong completely completed the work of fleet renewal.

At this moment, the "Flying Star" that was built with great difficulty and supported Li Qingsong's entire mission of scientific and technological development and industrial replacement has completely disappeared.

All the dry food had been "eaten" by Li Qingsong.

It turned into nutrients, just like food supports a child's growth, and was added to Li Qingsong's fleet, allowing the fleet to complete this most important transformation.

At this stage, Li Qingsong once again owns a large number of warships.

Mercury-class battleships, 100 million. Venus-class battleships, 6. Even the largest Earth-class battleships, at this moment, there are a full 1000!
Each of these battleships integrates various technologies of a strong nuclear civilization. Each battleship has a powerful energy shield, an energy cannon with great destructive power, and unprecedented sensitivity. The detection speed is extremely fast, and it can even capture a micro-projectile with a mass of only one gram and a speed of more than 300 kilometers per second!
Their propulsion systems had also undergone a major upgrade. Powered by the onboard small protium fusion reactors, they could even enable Mercury-class battleships weighing over 400 tons to maneuver at speeds of 1000 meters per square second!

Even the largest Earth-class battleship, with a total mass of over two million tons, can maneuver at a speed of 150 meters per square second!

This maneuverability is even higher than that of the original Mercury-class battleship.

This was almost unimaginable in the past.

How big were the Mercury-class battleships in the past? They only weighed two or three hundred tons.

At this moment, the Earth-class battleship has a mass of two million tons!
There is a huge difference between the two.

What does it mean to propel a giant warship of over two million tons to maneuver at a speed of 150 meters per second squared?
This means that even if the power is sufficient, the structure of the Earth-class battleship at that time will not be able to support it and will fall apart.

Of course, the Earth-class battleships built by Li Qingsong at this moment will not be affected by this problem.

The reason is simple: the large-scale use of strong nuclear materials not only greatly enhances the ship's defense capabilities, but also significantly increases the ship's structural strength, allowing it to withstand such enormous overload pressure. However, one thing to note is that even if the ship's hull can withstand such enormous pressure, what about the clones inside the ship that are used to operate the ship?
The human body cannot withstand such huge overload pressure.

Even after multiple rounds of genetic modification, all indicators of the clone's body have been greatly improved, but it can only withstand 15 times the overload pressure at most, which is barely enough to withstand the maneuvering of Earth-class battleships.

What about Mercury and Venus class battleships?
If the clones can't withstand it, then what does it matter if the maneuverability of Mercury and Venus levels reaches 10,000 meters per square second?
No, it's still useless.

This seems to be an extremely serious problem, but in fact it is not a problem for a strong nuclear civilization.

The reason was simple. Based on the tremendous breakthroughs in communication technology and artificial intelligence achieved by strong nuclear civilizations, Li Qingsong calculated that all of their warships should be unmanned.

Yes, all the warships manufactured by Li Qingsong, whether Earth-class, Venus-class, or the smallest Mercury-class, are unmanned warships!

When they are actually fighting, there won't be a clone on them!
Because strong nuclear civilizations have mastered long-distance communication technology. Take Li Qingsong as an example. Within a range of no more than 10 billion kilometers, communication delay can be compressed to just 0.1 seconds, and it can be further compressed.

Coupled with the substantial improvement in bionic technology and the substantial improvement in the intelligence of Wukong's AI, the clones are located behind the battlefield and can remotely control the warships on the battlefield in real time in a dedicated control room.

Any data feedback from the battleship will be transmitted to the battlefield control room in real time, and to the bodies and minds of every clone.

Under Li Qingsong's unified control, the reactions of each clone can also be transmitted to the battlefield in real time through the long-distance communication mode.

If that's the case, why keep the clones on the spaceship?
Since these spaceships are unmanned warships, the maneuverability of the warships can of course be as high as possible, and no matter how high it is, it will not have any impact on the clone's body.

At the same time, once a battleship is destroyed, the control of the clones can be immediately transferred to the spare battleship, manipulating the spare battleship to continue to join the battlefield.

Li Qingsong was almost certain that every powerful nuclear civilization would adopt this mode of warfare, as all the technologies were already in place, and the advantages of this mode were too great.

In this case, why wouldn't a strong nuclear civilization use this model?

This is another huge difference between a strong nuclear civilization and an electro-weak civilization, and this difference will inevitably lead to a huge change in the mode of warfare.

Silently calculating the optimal tactics and strategies for this war mode, Li Qingsong secretly sighed in his heart: "In this way, a war between two powerful nuclear civilizations with comparable technological levels has basically become a comparison between the industrial strength of the two civilizations.

Anyway, the soldiers in the rear, operating the spaceships, would not be affected by the battlefield. In this way, whichever civilization had the stronger industrial strength and could produce warships faster and replenish them on the battlefield would win the war.

And...it just so happens that industrial strength is my greatest strength..."
