Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 256 A heavy price
Because the amount of calculation is too large, the real-time requirements are too high, and the requirements for mutual communication are too high.

Every clone participating in the life intelligence supercomputer must cooperate with its companions to complete its own computing tasks in a very short time.

It's like 20 billion people are simultaneously making a component of a complex machine consisting of 20 billion parts without any time to communicate or confirm. Each person makes one component, and after the manufacturing is completed, the 20 billion components are put together to form this complex machine, which can run smoothly.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by training alone.

No matter how much training or coordination one receives, ordinary intelligent beings still cannot truly achieve telepathy and such unity.

But... Li Qingsong is different!

He can do just that!
After solving this problem, Li Qingsong faced the next difficulty.

The engineering requirements for building a "unified force field" are too large and too sophisticated.

Li Qingsong needs to manufacture more than one billion devices of various types and make them operate in a completely coordinated manner before he can exert precise influence on a piece of space.

If even a small mistake is made in one of them, it could cause the entire building to collapse, just like a domino being pushed over.

The precision required for this project far exceeds the limits of orthodox intelligent civilization.

But for Li Qingsong, this obstacle can also be overcome!
Because all the clones are under my conscious control, all the clones are part of me, and all the clones can be coordinated as one, just like a whole!
As a result, Li Qingsong had the foundation to build a "unified force field" and implement this unprecedented attack.

But at this moment, we only have the foundation.

There is another problem that needs to be solved.

The price to pay for implementing this unprecedented attack, which Li Qingsong named "unified force field", is simply too great.

That was a huge price that the orthodox intelligent civilization could not afford. Even Li Qingsong could hardly afford it.

But... at this moment, Li Qingsong had no other choice.

The situation has reached a dead end, and the only option is to fight to the death.

In this case, we must use it no matter how huge the cost!
Li Qingsong really made up his mind.

You forced me to do this!
At this moment, some special medicines were injected into the infusion needles connected to the neck veins of 20 billion clones in the 20 billion smart cockpits.

They instantly broke through the blood-brain barrier and entered the brains of these clones. The next moment, the brains of these clones became more active than ever before, like a sick cat suddenly transformed into a tiger.

The data from every spy satellite, every detector, every spacecraft's battlefield perception system on the battlefield, and from every telescope and every radar in the main fleet instantly poured into the matching quantum supercomputer like a flood, and also poured into the brains of these clones through the neural chips.

Under this unimaginable intelligent computing, under the unified coordination and summary of Li Qingsong, based on the existing battlefield data, numerous quantum supercomputers and up to 20 billion brains jointly carried out predictive calculations on the battlefield situation in about the next 33 seconds.

Li Qingsong needs to calculate the position of each warship in 33 seconds, what behavior it will perform, and what posture it will be in. He also needs to predict the future changes of every artillery position, every unmanned spacecraft, even every interstellar mine cluster, etc., almost every battlefield element.

Such a huge amount of calculations must be completed within a maximum of two seconds. If it takes too long, these calculations will lose their real-time performance and become meaningless.

So, two seconds later, the corresponding decision was delivered to the more than one billion large and small devices that Li Qingsong had matched through long-distance communication technology with almost no delay, controlling them to adjust their power and direction.

Tens of thousands of high-power nuclear fusion power plants were operating at full capacity, a surge of energy instantly flooding these devices. The next moment, a "unified force field" deployment strategy, tailored to the current battlefield situation—the position, speed, and heading of every ship, every explosion, every maneuver, and so on—was executed in real time by these devices. The surge of energy transformed into countless X and Y bosons, following specific trajectories and directions, and instantly erupted at speeds extremely close to the speed of light, rushing towards the battlefield.

After stimulating these X and Y bosons, Li Qingsong had gone through great pains to create them, and had spent enormous energy and resources to put them together. More than one billion of the coordinated devices exploded simultaneously due to energy overload.

Not only did they explode, but the hundreds of energy ships that powered them also suffered from the instability of their nuclear fusion reactors and exploded and disintegrated due to the enormous energy demand at that moment.

In an instant, Li Qingsong's entire fleet was shrouded in violent flashes of light.

This is one of the costs of using the "unified force field".

All facilities are disposable and can only be used once.

Because only "overload explosion" can stimulate the maximum power of the equipment and increase the strength of the unified force field as much as possible.

This is almost unimaginable for orthodox intelligent civilization.

It took so much manpower and resources to produce so many devices, but they turned out to be disposable?

How much industrial strength is needed to support such a game?
But for Li Qingsong, this is just one of the prices, and the most insignificant one at that.

The true cost is even greater.

Those aerospace motherships specially modified by Li Qingsong had a total of 20 billion intelligent cockpits, with a total of 20 billion clones. The moment the unified force field was activated, their eyes suddenly widened, their bodies twitched uncontrollably twice, and then there was no movement.

Blood began to flow from their ears and clear mucus-like substance flowed from their nostrils.

Li Qingsong knew that it was not actually clear nasal discharge, but... cerebrospinal fluid.

Because of the enormous data impact and computing power, after completing the previous calculations, their brains had completely collapsed and they were completely brain dead.

The drug Li Qingsong had injected into them earlier did stimulate their brain potential. But even with the drug, their brains still couldn't handle the consequences of contributing such a huge amount of computing power in such a short period of time.

In fact, it is only after the injection of drugs that their brains can take on the corresponding computing tasks. Without these drugs, even if their brains collapse, they will not be able to bear it.

In an instant, Li Qingsong lost 20 billion clones, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of clones Li Qingsong possessed at the moment.

This is the biggest price!

If it were an orthodox intelligent civilization, 20 billion of the most elite people in the civilization who had undergone the most rigorous training would have died in just one attack. Which civilization could afford such a price?

Even the Haveler civilization, which is his opponent at the moment, has a total number of warriors, according to Li Qingsong's estimate, of only 1.5 million.

Once all these warriors die, the entire civilization will collapse!

At this moment, the attack that was launched at such a heavy price will reach the battlefield in about 30 seconds.
