Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 127 Solar System Defense

The live-fire combat exercises currently being conducted by Li Qingsong have incorporated all conceived weapons.

In addition to conventional warships, various unmanned weapons also began to play a role, controlled by the Wukong AI to perform various offensive tactics and test the tactics and effects of each tactic.

Sometimes, a fleet of Party A moves forward quietly, thinking it is undetected, and attempts to raid a Party B base.

The detection force of Fleet A has conducted many searches in this airspace and confirmed that there are no forces deployed by Fleet B here.

But in this vast and empty space, suddenly a group of nuclear missiles equipped with separate nuclear explosion propulsion systems were activated and attacked violently from a very far distance, with the highest speed even reaching over 100 kilometers per second, catching the fleet's interception system off guard.

Finally, some of the nuclear missiles rushed into the A fleet and exploded. The blazing light and the heat that could burn some of the A warships directly vaporized them, directly damaging the A fleet that was trying to launch a sneak attack.
Sometimes, a fleet of Side B is desperately fleeing, its engines at full power, trying to escape the battlefield. But just as it is about to break through, a group of interstellar mines are automatically activated.

These interstellar mines are relatively small, weighing less than 1 kg. They do not use secondary pressurization or other propulsion technologies, but only the simplest and most primitive chemical propulsion.

Each interstellar mine contained approximately 500 grams of fuel, which was now being ejected without a care in the world, accelerating them with all its might.

Although chemical fuel has a low specific impulse, it has one advantage, which is that it has a large instantaneous thrust and can provide it with great acceleration in an instant.

So the next moment these interstellar mines reached a speed of several hundred meters per second, rushing towards the fleeing Party B fleet like a school of piranhas.

Because the distance was too close and the number was too large, and they were previously relatively hidden and undetected, the interception system of the B fleet failed to perform effectively due to being caught off guard.

Each interstellar mine, with a charge of 200 grams of all-nitrogen anion salt and a force equivalent to that of a high-powered electromagnetic cannon projectile, exploded at close range, either directly damaging the warship's armor or releasing fragments and pellets of equally high kinetic energy, instantly plunging the entire fleet into chaos.
The interstellar artillery batteries deployed in interstellar space roared, and from a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, they launched their killing here;
Countless spy satellites shuttled back and forth, doing their utmost to detect the enemy's movements and deployments. If conditions were right, these spy satellites would even act as armed satellites, knocking out several of the enemy's communication points and damaging their facilities.

Groups of unmanned spacecraft shuttled around in space like a school of sharks, and swarmed over suitable targets when they encountered them;

Numerous supercomputer ships lurk in every corner of the starry sky. Each one houses a strategic version of Wukong, remotely commanding all unmanned forces within a radius of millions, or even tens of millions, of kilometers, and assisting manned warships in combat...

During live-fire combat exercises, Li Qingsong strictly adhered to one principle, which was the intelligence separation policy.

Although in reality both Fleet A and Fleet B are commanded by himself and he knows all the intelligence about the two fleets, in actual command, the intelligence of Fleet A will not affect the decision-making on Fleet B in any way.

Li Qingsong clearly knew that Fleet A had sent out an ambush fleet, but when making decisions about Fleet B, Li Qingsong still made decisions as if Fleet B was unaware of the ambush.

Unless he had already ordered Fleet B to conduct a large-scale search and discovered the ambush fleet.

In this way, Fleet B would make special counter-ambush arrangements and use the enemy's tactics against them. When commanding Fleet A, he would not change Fleet A's battle plan based on Fleet B's intelligence.

Because under normal circumstances, Fleet A cannot know Fleet B's plan.

The same applies to Tactics Wukong. The two Wukong systems are strictly isolated, preventing any information confusion. This allows for a variety of weapons to be deployed in rotation, creating an endless variety of combat strategies. The nearly endless data from real battlefields has enabled Tactics Wukong to rapidly develop.

Today, Li Qingsong has become increasingly aware that war AI will be indispensable in future interstellar wars and will play an extremely important role.

But at the same time, Li Qingsong also realized more clearly that AI is always just AI.

Before the birth of true strong artificial intelligence - that is, artificial intelligence that can truly possess the creativity and wisdom of a living organism and have real life, no matter how powerful AI is, it will still be just an auxiliary.

No matter what the situation, people are the most important.

Just like now, even though Goku AI is so powerful, it still cannot be separated from the on-the-spot decision-making and maintenance of the clone.

Similarly, on the battlefield, the manned fleet is the most important, and it is also the most elite and most powerful.

Many difficult combat missions can only be undertaken by manned fleets. Wukong AI can provide a lot of assistance, but it can never replace real people.

"But it doesn't matter. My AI can't replace real people, and neither can the AI of other civilizations. And my AI is even more powerful than theirs."

Thinking this way, Li Qingsong once again gathered the resources of the entire solar system and threw himself into the seemingly endless actual combat.

Countless factories roared day and night, hundreds of millions of clones stayed at their posts, and countless spaceships shuttled back and forth. These endless materials were eventually transformed into parts, engines, armor, and bullets produced by the factories. In the end, all of them either disappeared silently or exploded in the space battlefield, becoming space junk or interstellar dust in various ways.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, decades had passed. At this moment, Li Qingsong finally stopped the live-fire combat exercise.

In the solar system where artillery fire roared, the fleets of both sides, which were fighting desperately to the death just a moment ago, stopped their attacks at the same time, as if the previous brutal war was just an illusion.

All surviving fleets formed into formations and moved towards the major bases.

At this moment, combined with the intelligence he obtained from large-scale deep space exploration, Li Qingsong estimated that it would take about 40-60 years for the main fleet of the Bluetuk civilization to arrive.

The long training battles have allowed Li Qingsong to accumulate enough knowledge of war.

Wukong's AI has also evolved to an extremely high level.

So, it’s time to take advantage of this last period of time to do another most important thing.

Build a solar system defense!
