Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 100 Tianhe (Subscribe!!)

In the entire solar system, the Sun alone accounts for 99.86% of the galaxy's mass, and of the remaining 0.14%, Jupiter alone accounts for about 71%.

Only 29% of the mass remains, which makes up the remaining seven major planets, as well as numerous dwarf planets, an almost endless number of asteroids, comets, interstellar dust and other celestial bodies.

Jupiter has a vast satellite system, including four satellites that have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, giving them a spherical shape.

The largest satellite, Ganymede, is even larger than Mercury, a large planet, though its mass is only half that of Mercury.

In addition to four large satellites, it has more than seventy small satellites and a magnificent Jovian ring.

Jupiter's rings are similar to the asteroid belt in the solar system, consisting of countless large and small pieces of debris.

Jupiter's rings are highly fragmented. The largest celestial body inside has a diameter of only about 100 meters, and its overall thickness is only about ten to several dozen kilometers.

But this means one benefit, that is, Li Qingsong can collect minerals from Jupiter's rings very conveniently.

Just look at which small celestial body's elemental composition meets your needs, and then you can directly take it away, crush it, and smelt it. This completely saves you from the hassle of mining like on a planet, where you have to dig down, even thousands of meters deep.

In addition to Jupiter's rings, the other four large satellites and more than seventy small satellites also have rich mineral reserves. And most importantly, three of these four large satellites have extremely rich water reserves.

Ganymede alone holds more water than the entire Earth. And Li Qingsong's large-scale development happens to require a large amount of water.

When on Luoshen Star and Dishen Star, Li Qingsong was often troubled by the lack of water resources.

Also, Jupiter is located right on the edge of the boundary between the rocky and gaseous planets in the solar system.

Here, inward is the asteroid belt of the solar system, which contains more celestial bodies, dwarf planets, asteroids, etc. Further inward are Mercury, Earth, Venus and Mercury, and outward are Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

No matter what kind of resources you need, you can get them easily. No matter where you want to go, the distance is not far.

This can probably be considered the "center" area of a solar system.

After comprehensively comparing the data of various planets, Li Qingsong finally decided to set up the main development base in the Jupiter system, and more specifically, in Ganymede.

Li Qingsong's fleet continued its journey even after entering the inner solar system. It wasn't until they passed the orbits of Uranus and Saturn, and were only a few hundred million kilometers from Jupiter, that the massive fleet slowly turned, started its engines, and began jetting towards Jupiter, slowly reducing its speed.

However, one aerospace carrier did not slow down. Instead, it adjusted its trajectory, separated from the main group, and began to move deeper into the solar system.

After slowing down for more than three months, Li Qingsong's main fleet just arrived at Ganymede, and the speed just dropped to about 2.5 kilometers per second.

Then, 49 aerospace motherships and dozens of heavy transport ships entered the orbit around Ganymede and began to slowly revolve around it.

At this moment, what appeared before Li Qingsong was a magical scene.

The sun in the distance is no longer just a point structure, but has a certain circular structure.

But it's still small, only the size of a marble.

Although it is small, it is extremely bright and even a little dazzling if viewed directly with the naked eye.

Its brightness was enough to illuminate the vastness of deep space. Even the small print on a book could be clearly seen by its light. Casting shadows of various objects was a breeze.

Overall, its brightness is similar to that of Earth at dusk. Next to it, under the bright sun, is a giant planet with obvious yellow and white stripes, which almost occupies a large part of the celestial sphere.

It was like the eyes of a starry sky demon, quietly staring at Li Qingsong's fleet, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression.

A little further away, there is a long curved structure that is like a rainbow, extremely bright and gorgeous.

It extends from the back of Jupiter like a long river in the sky, extending all the way to the extremely high sky, and then falls from a very distant place, falling again into the other side of Jupiter.

This is Jupiter's rings.

Next to the magnificent Jupiter rings that look like a river in the sky, there are many bright spots of light.

Those are the rest of Jupiter's moons.

Turning his gaze from the sky to look downward, Li Qingsong saw a huge pale planet. On that pale earth, there were numerous grayish-white stripes.

This is Ganymede, the final destination of his voyage of more than 10 billion kilometers.

It appears pale because much of its surface is covered by water ice, just as Earth appears blue because most of it is covered by ocean water.

Those pale streaks are huge cracks in the ice.

Such a huge planet with abundant water resources and other resources is now presented in front of Li Qingsong like a juicy dish.

Li Qingsong was not in a hurry to land on a large scale right now.

He controlled the huge fleet to remain in orbit, and then sent out numerous satellites to survey the entire planet's topography, environment, and resource reserves from various angles. He also sent out numerous small landing spacecraft to land in advance for on-site surveys.

The previous exploration was too rough after all. Now we need to conduct a comprehensive exploration.

In addition to Ganymede, Li Qingsong also dispatched numerous satellites and scientific research vessels to different satellites to conduct the most detailed observations of every satellite in the Jupiter system and Jupiter itself.

Under such circumstances, the first batch of clones finally landed on Ganymede.

Looking at the vast land in front of them and feeling the extremely thin atmosphere, the clones busily carried out their field survey mission.

While busy carrying out preliminary survey work in the Jupiter system, on the other side, after several months of sailing, the only aerospace mothership that had separated from the main fleet finally arrived at the end of this voyage.

At this moment, it has entered the orbit of the planet and is rotating around this huge blue planet at a speed of about 10 kilometers per second.

At this time, Li Qingsong temporarily stopped the preliminary preparations for the Jupiter system, and directly transferred his consciousness from a clone in the Jupiter system to a clone who was currently in orbit around this huge blue planet at the speed of light.

The switch of consciousness took about 40 minutes to complete.

The next moment, Li Qingsong opened his eyes and saw with his own eyes the planet where he had lived for decades, where he was born and grew up.

Earth.
