Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 119 Tactical Version of Wukong

The total mass of this new Mercury-class battleship has been further improved compared to the previous Mercury-class battleships that used chemical fuel propulsion.

The total mass of the previous Mercury-class battleship was about 300 tons. At this moment, this battleship reached about tons when fully loaded.

This is mainly because it has many more new equipment than the old battleships.

When fully loaded, this Mercury-class battleship can hold 30 tons of chemical fuel, uranium 235 or plutonium 239, 100KG.

The total mass of the fuel is greatly reduced compared to the previous generation of Mercury-class battleships that use chemical fuels, which are often fifty or sixty tons, and the total mass of the hull has increased by nearly two times. However, under the same level of maneuvering navigation, the endurance of this Mercury-class battleship is five times that of the previous generation of battleships!
Even compared to the previous half-generation Mercury-class battleships, which already used secondary pressurization propulsion but were not equipped with many other new equipment, the average cruising time was increased by about 10%.

This is mainly because the secondary pressure thrusters have been optimized again during this period.

At this moment, all the new equipment developed by Li Qingsong were installed on it.

The high-speed radar, which has been miniaturized and can continuously scan the entire celestial sphere at extremely high speed and accuracy, is now divided into 16 detection components and scattered at 16 locations on the outer shell of the spacecraft. It can scan everything, whether front, back, left, right, up or down, without missing anything.

It is equipped with eight of the latest developed high-speed bogies, which are also distributed in different locations to ensure that there are no blind spots in the attack.

A total of 8 electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons are installed on these 28 bogies.

Among them, there are 4 large and medium-sized laser cannons and 4 large and medium-sized electromagnetic cannons, a total of 8 powerful long-range weapons, which are responsible for launching attacks on the opponents. The remaining 20 laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons are all small and are used for defensive tasks.

In addition to the weapon system, propulsion system and detection system, its armor protection performance has also been greatly improved compared to before.

After introducing the type 0 fiber used in the manufacture of space elevators and integrating it into the armor as the "rebar" in concrete, it can now even withstand the head-on bombardment of the most powerful gunpowder gun armor-piercing shells without any damage.

Although it is still unable to withstand high-power electromagnetic cannon projectiles, it has extremely high protection against smaller-power electromagnetic cannon projectiles, stray bullets, debris, etc.

It also has excellent resistance to high-temperature laser burning.

Its communication system also performed exceptionally well. Utilizing a high-power directional antenna specially developed by Li Qingsong, this warship could maintain contact with the main base or other warships even in extremely complex and chaotic battlefield environments.

In addition to these improvements, the most important improvement Li Qingsong made to this battleship is that this battleship is intelligent!
It is no longer like the previous battleships, where most combat commands can only be issued from the rear, or completed by manipulating the clones to input commands.

It has a small supercomputer inside.

This supercomputer uses 64 2-nanometer chips to perform parallel operations, and has extremely abundant computing power compared to a battleship.

This computing power is not only used to maintain the various intelligent components inside the spacecraft, but also to run a tactical version of the Wukong AI locally.

The real supercomputer runs the strategic version of Wukong AI, responsible for controlling the battlefield situation and assisting Li Qingsong in making decisions that affect the entire battlefield. The tactical version of Wukong AI runs in the small supercomputer of this Mercury-class battleship, responsible for simple coordination with surrounding battleships and controlling the tactics of a single ship.

The countless combat skills generated through simulated exercises, the combat experience gained by friendly forces fighting desperately, the battlefield situation sent from nearby spacecraft, and so on, will all enter the tactical version of Wukong AI. After being processed by this set of excellent algorithms, combat orders will eventually be generated and can be launched automatically without the participation of clones.

This is the more intelligent part. Beyond this, routine intelligent data processing, such as calculating how to control the bogie's steering and which electromagnetic cannon or laser cannon to intercept based on the data from a high-speed radar scan of an electromagnetic cannon projectile, can be done automatically in an instant, without any human intervention.

As long as there are communication conditions, the tactical version of Goku and the strategic version of Goku will always maintain a communication connection and receive commands from the strategic version of Goku in real time.

But if there are no communication conditions, for example, the enemy releases a high-yield signal jammer, or the electromagnetic environment is too harsh to make communication impossible, it doesn’t matter.

The tactical version of Wukong AI can also perform autonomous analysis and assist the clones to continue fighting on the battlefield.

Moreover, as long as any satellite or any friendly spaceship that is in contact with the strategic version of Goku approaches, it can immediately use it as a relay to restore contact with the strategic version of Goku.

This tactical version of Goku is like a clone transformed from a hair plucked from the strategic version of Goku.

There are as many tactical versions of Goku as there are strategic versions of Goku, and there are as many clones of Goku on the battlefield!

Becoming tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of incarnations is not a dream at all.

This is a complete intelligent warfare system. Its members include not only supercomputing bases and warships, but can be expanded in the future to include a variety of unmanned facilities, such as communication satellites, spy satellites, reconnaissance satellites, armed satellites, interstellar missiles, unmanned spacecraft clusters, interstellar mine clusters, artillery clusters, and so on, all connected into a network.

Each clone was an extension of Li Qingsong's consciousness. Through these extensions, Li Qingsong could coordinate with this intelligent war network in every detail, minimizing the impact of communication delays and maximizing the execution of his strategic decisions on the battlefield.

At this moment, although he only has this one intelligent battleship, and it is also the smallest Mercury-class battleship, this does not prevent Li Qingsong from imagining the future.

Moreover, this future is so close to me, within reach.

Because Li Qingsong has broken through all technical limitations, it is only a matter of time to build a war network of such a scale.

This intelligent Mercury-class battleship, which runs a tactical version of Goku inside, is now under the control of the clone connected to Li Qingsong's consciousness. It is maneuvering rapidly in space and attacking fiercely.

It was not until its fuel was completely exhausted that Li Qingsong reluctantly let it return.

"It's time for large-scale construction! Not only will we build Mercury-class battleships, I'll also build Venus-class battleships, and even... Earth-class battleships!"
