Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 106 10 nanometers (Subscribe please!)

After completing the construction of the first space elevator on Ganymede, the production of the huge fiber zero did not stop, but instead increased its production intensity.

During this long production period, Li Qingsong has been optimizing and improving production processes and efficiency.

The originally crude production facilities were gradually replaced by more advanced and stable equipment, and the automation level and reliability of the entire production line were gradually improved.

Through iterations again and again, the daily output of No. 2.6 fiber on each production line has increased from two tons to tons.

Furthermore, the performance of the No. 10 fibers they produced was also gradually improving, having increased by about % compared to the initial production.

Although it is only a 0.6-ton increase in production and a 10% increase in performance, overall it can be regarded as a generation gap.

As a result, the annual output of the entire No. 146 fiber production base has increased from 190 million tons to about million tons at present.

A large amount of zero fiber was carried on the No. 1 space elevator and transported from Ganymede to Io, Io, and Io, and the construction of the other three space elevators began simultaneously.

After a total of six years, the four major satellites in the Jupiter system finally all have space elevators as material transfer stations between the surface and space.

Having completely resolved the obstacles to the material flow of the entire Jupiter system, Li Qingsong's development of the Jupiter system entered a new stage.

Up to now, Li Qingsong has been in the Jupiter system for more than ten years.

During these ten years, Li Qingsong not only completed the construction of four space elevators, but also completed the construction of industrial and scientific research facilities that were three times the size of Luoshen and Enemy Star combined.

Li Qingsong owns a total of more than 200,000 huge factories, laboratories or bases on four large satellites, more than a dozen small satellites, as well as in the rings of Jupiter and interstellar space.

Abundant resources from the Jupiter system are continuously mined, processed by the industrial system, and poured into various scientific research facilities like a flood, turning into nutrients to promote scientific and technological research and development.

Even within the rings of Jupiter, Li Qingsong built a huge resource extraction system.

At different nodes of Jupiter's rings, Li Qingsong built 10 supercomputers and 100 primary mineral smelting facilities, and deployed more than 100 million automatic exploration and acceleration equipment.

They look like a flat rectangular iron box. They are self-powered and equipped with sophisticated prospecting equipment.

They spend their entire days wandering among Jupiter's rings, which are filled with dust and debris. Through automatic scanning prospecting equipment, they accurately analyze the elemental composition of each piece of debris.

Once valuable stones are found, different fishing methods are adopted according to the size of the target.

Too small rocks are simply discarded. For smaller rocks of sufficient value, this prospecting equipment automatically plans a route, deftly maneuvering around the rest to reach it, extending a metal mesh to restrain it, then automatically accelerating, carrying it out of Jupiter's rings and "dropping" it directly to the nearest space smelting base for processing. If the rock is larger, say, tens or even a hundred meters across, it summons nearby mining equipment to join it, automatically mapping and analyzing the center of gravity. After selecting the force point, multiple mining equipment automatically attach to different parts of the rock, simultaneously accelerating, dragging it out, and dropping it off at the smelting plant.

Ten space supercomputers located at different nodes provide sufficient computing power for the space mining AI. The 10 AIs work together to command more than one million mining equipment to survey Jupiter's rings all day long.

The approximately 10,000 clones located in those space smelting factories, under the unified connection of Li Qingsong, are responsible for the optimization, maintenance, repair and decision-making of this entire process.

The minerals in Jupiter's rings, the minerals from other small satellites, and the minerals from large satellites are busily shuttled back and forth on large and small cargo ships, and finally converge on one of the four space elevators to unload the cargo and take the space elevator to the surface.

On the surface, heavy trains roared along countless railway lines. Between the lines, vast fleets of heavy trucks raced across the desolate and silent land. For some inconvenient places, dual-use spacecraft would handle the final stretch of transportation.

The entire Jupiter system, under the control of Li Qingsong and his 1500 million clones, is integrated into a whole through the connection of spaceships, trains, fleets, and most importantly, four space elevators.

The basic industrial system was complete and had reached its peak state. Naturally, Li Qingsong's technology began to make breakthroughs again.

Over the past decade or so, along with the construction of industrial systems, relatively small technological advances such as optimization of various processes, adjustment of production lines, and performance improvement of various materials and equipment have frequently occurred.

Li Qingsong did a quick calculation and came up with an extremely shocking number.

The total number of tiny advances in all industrial and scientific fields has even exceeded 10 million!

Although none of them is a key technological breakthrough, don’t forget that key technological breakthroughs can only occur under the continuous consolidation and improvement of the foundation.

At this stage, with the completion of all industrial systems, the resources and brainpower supply of all scientific research bases have reached their peak. The total number of these tiny improvements, sometimes as small as a 0.5% decrease in the disease rate of a certain type of livestock, has skyrocketed again.

In just three years, the total number has exceeded 10 million again, which is equal to the total number during the more than ten years of large-scale construction in the past.

After one small breakthrough after another, the first big breakthrough finally came.

Chip technology has finally made another breakthrough!

After introducing multiple exposure technology, fin field-effect transistor technology, a series of new materials and new processes, as well as optimizing the overall structure and production process, the latest generation of chips with a process reaching 10 nanometers was finally produced in small batches by Li Qingsong in the laboratory.

Compared with the 20-nanometer chips used before, the number of transistors in the 10-nanometer chips has increased by 2.5 times again, from about 40 billion to 100 billion!

An increase in the number of transistors also means a significant improvement in performance. After a simple evaluation, Li Qingsong came to this conclusion.

The chip performance has at least doubled compared to the previous generation!
