Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 282 Huge Improvement
Nearly a thousand years have passed since I broke through to become a strong nuclear civilization.

During this period, he was either in a state of escape in space or fighting with other civilizations. From beginning to end, there was never a peaceful and stable environment for Li Qingsong to develop.

At this moment, with the electromagnetic disaster now completely resolved, Li Qingsong can finally develop with all his strength without any other interference.

"Peaceful time is so precious that we cannot afford to waste it..."

With a silent sigh, Li Qingsong controlled a total of 35 billion clones with consciousness links and put them all into scientific research-related tasks.

Huge transport ships appeared in space again, shuttling back and forth between different planets. Unlike before, they no longer needed to be equipped with bulky anti-laser equipment, nor did they need to frequently carry out random maneuvers.
On each planet, space elevators rose from the ground, like blood vessels, connecting the "blood" circulation between different planets. Of course, they no longer needed to worry about defending against external attacks, because there were no external threats in the galaxy at this time;

Factories, huge laboratories, massive energy plants, nuclear fusion power plants, chip factories, cloning factories, etc., gathered together like a huge blanket, quickly covering the desolate surface of the planet;

In each of the National Taiwan University's scientific facilities, countless clones rotate day and night, generating a variety of scientific and technological data 24 hours a day.

In space, Li Qingsong's fleet, controlled by tens of millions of clones, engaged in a life-and-death struggle, with warships constantly exploding and turning into wreckage.
In addition to manned warships, hundreds of millions of unmanned warships, artillery batteries, satellites, mines, missiles, etc., under the control of Wukong AI, are engaged in battles that are even more brutal than those on manned battlefields.

Often, manned and unmanned combat are combined. On the same battlefield, the will of both the clones and the will of the Goku AI are present, making the combat increasingly diverse.

Planetary attack and defense battles, planetary counterattacks, battles in the strong magnetic field environment of gas giants, space encounters, battles for dwarf planets, encounters in near-stellar environments, and so on. Li Qingsong was unwilling to miss any environment or any combat method, and he invested a large number of troops to carry out actual combat exercises.

In this situation, Li Qingsong's combat experience, skills and perceptions were rapidly improving, and so was Wukong AI.

Its intelligence level is also improving rapidly.

The entire Lyra G16 galaxy was busy with rumbling gunfire and intense activity.

Under such circumstances, after more than ten years of uninterrupted research, Li Qingsong finally achieved his first major technological breakthrough.

In terms of energy technology, Li Qingsong has developed a new fusion model based on the original protium fusion.

Protium plus deuterium-helium-3 combined fusion!

At a certain stage of protium fusion, helium-3 will be fused, and then helium-3 will continue to fuse with helium-3 to complete the entire fusion process.

But now, Li Qingsong has taken the initiative to intervene in this process. After protium fusion produces helium-3, he will not allow helium-3 to fuse with each other. Instead, he will add deuterium gas to allow helium-3 to fuse with deuterium.

This seemingly simple process change actually means huge technical difficulty.

The reason is simple: different elements require different fusion environments. Li Qingsong had to develop a unified model that could accommodate the fusion of different elements and organically combine them to improve energy utilization, thus increasing the Q value.

This places extremely high demands on materials science, engineering, optics, high-energy physics and other fields.

After a lengthy research, Li Qingsong finally overcame these technical challenges one by one, ultimately reaping the fruitful results of this moment. Originally, the mass-energy conversion efficiency of protium fusion was only about 0.7%. Now, Li Qingsong has directly increased the mass-energy conversion efficiency by approximately 40%, to about 1%!
What used to require carrying 100KG of fuel to complete, Li Qingsong can now complete with only 70KG of fuel.

This not only means that the overall speed of the fleet can be further improved when conducting interstellar voyages in the future, but also means that even within the galaxy, the endurance of each spacecraft will be greatly improved.

The average replenishment time of warships in the space battlefield can also be greatly extended, which not only reduces logistical pressure but also improves combat effectiveness!

Your battleship has to go back for resupply after fighting for 5 hours, but my battleship can fight for 7 hours before having to go back for resupply. It is obvious at a glance who has higher combat effectiveness.

After the comprehensive innovation of energy technology, Li Qingsong also ushered in tremendous development in ultra-long-distance communication technology.

With the construction of many quantum supercomputing bases, Li Qingsong's research in mathematics has made rapid progress, and the highly abstract discipline of quantum mathematics has also made great progress.

With the technological advancement of quantum modulation equipment, Li Qingsong's quantum analysis capabilities have been greatly improved.

The original limit of quantum long-distance communication was about 10 billion kilometers, and with transit, it could only extend to 100 billion kilometers at most.

But now, Li Qingsong's latest long-distance communication equipment has increased the one-way communication limit by 60% to 16 billion kilometers, and the transit noise reduction technology has also been greatly improved. Now he can make 12 transits, and the longest communication distance has reached 192 billion kilometers, almost doubled than before!
The increase in communication distance means that Li Qingsong's battlefield control has increased significantly.

In the past, Li Qingsong could only carry out long-distance real-time communication and control warship battles within a space with a radius of 100 billion kilometers and a total volume of 419 trillion cubic kilometers.

Once out of this area, Li Qingsong will not be able to control the warship in real time, resulting in a significant reduction in the warship's combat effectiveness.

But now, the longest communication distance has reached 192 billion kilometers. Correspondingly, the total volume of the controllable battlefield has increased to about 2960 trillion trillion cubic kilometers, a full 7 times increase!
At the same time, with Li Qingsong's unremitting research day and night, in addition to energy technology and communication technology, Li Qingsong has made great progress in all aspects such as material technology, computing technology, high-speed ion thrusters, high-speed energy cannons, precision radar, ship structure, industrial production, etc.

In just a few decades, all the technological breakthroughs, big and small, have totaled almost over 100 million!
In terms of industrial productivity, Li Qingsong's overall industrial capacity has increased by about 30% without any increase in the maximum number of consciousness connections.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the average combat effectiveness of warships of the same level manufactured by Li Qingsong has increased by about 20% compared with before.

A 20% overall performance improvement may not seem like much, but in today's highly developed technology, even the slightest improvement is extremely difficult and requires repeated research and polishing, so it can almost be considered a generation gap.

This improvement is enough to crush the previous generation.

But this is also not the end of Li Qingsong's technological development.

At this moment, Li Qingsong had a more ambitious plan.

The research and development is larger, heavier, and more powerful than the Earth-class battleships. It can truly be called a new generation of large battleships with strategic significance.

Mars-class battleship!
