Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 177 Skynet Project
Compared to the solar system, the Altair Galaxy is too young.

When the solar system was first formed, it also went through a period of chaos. In fact, this chaotic collision process itself is a process of the gradual development and formation of celestial bodies.

If it weren't for frequent celestial body mergers and collisions, large planets like the Earth would never have been able to grow to their current mass.

The solar system went through this period for hundreds of millions of years, and it even had a special name, the Great Bombardment Period, which shows how chaotic the solar system was at that time.

After a long period of evolution, large planets like the Earth gradually cleared the small celestial bodies in their orbits.

The small celestial bodies that did not collide with the large celestial bodies were gathered in the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt under the gravitational influence of the large planets. More small celestial bodies were expelled to farther orbits, forming the vast ecliptic scattered disk and the Oort cloud.

In this way, the entire solar system gradually stabilized, making it possible for life to emerge in the future.

It will take at least hundreds of millions of years for the Altair Galaxy to become as stable as the solar system.

Of course Li Qingsong couldn't wait.

Then the only option is to resort to manual intervention.

After a little thought, a huge plan quickly formed in Li Qingsong's mind.

Skynet Project!

With the help of the initially complete industrial base on Cowherd A1, Li Qingsong immediately began large-scale production by manipulating hundreds of millions of clones.

Countless mines roared, transporting mountains and seas of minerals to the factories. From the biological resource bases, countless quantities of sugar, oil, rubber, and other materials also began to flow into the factories.

Under the execution of Shengong AI, a unique technological creation was quickly produced.

It was a square object, like a metal box.

It is only about 0.5 meters in size and weighs no more than 300 kilograms. At one end of it are several claw-shaped metal structures that can be freely extended and transformed, and at the other end is a propulsion nozzle.

It uses isotope batteries as its energy source, and its propulsion module uses small ion thrusters.

Its overall technological level is not high, and for Li Qingsong it can only be regarded as a relatively basic industrial product.

Being relatively basic means that it can be produced on a large scale and huge quantities can be produced in a short period of time.

The same is true.

Although Li Qingsong's overall industrial scale is still relatively small at this moment and the number of various factories is not large, Li Qingsong can only allocate two factories specifically for the final assembly of this kind of creation, but the current daily output still reaches 10,000 units.

Numerous parts are transported to the final assembly plant by heavy-load trains, and then brought to the assembly line under the control of intelligent machinery. They are maintained by clones, and the actual assembly is done by the divine AI. This kind of equipment flows out from the assembly line like water.

After producing the first batch of 1 units, Li Qingsong immediately commanded the clone to drive the dual-purpose aerospace spacecraft and brought it to the orbit of Altair A.

Here, a large space base has been built, and these technological artifacts, shaped like metal boxes, have been placed within the space base.

These metal boxes were placed on the automatic charging assembly line by the clones and robots, completing the replenishment of working fluid and isotope batteries.

Afterwards, the command authority of these metal boxes was uniformly handed over to Wukong AI.

Under the observation of numerous detection satellites throughout the Altair A system, data on countless asteroids, large and small, that have entered or are about to enter the Altair A system have all been collected.

After calculation by Wukong AI, the threatening small celestial bodies were immediately identified, and then the instructions were immediately issued to these metal boxes.

In an instant, like a swarm of bees leaving their nest, thousands of metal boxes, driven by their own power, quickly left the space base and dispersed towards their predetermined targets.

Once they reach their target, these metal boxes will automatically attach themselves to the asteroids.

The metal claws on their bodies allow them to firmly attach to asteroids of various shapes and materials. Once fixed, the ion thrusters are immediately activated, pushing these asteroids to change their current orbits.

Therefore, those that were originally going to hit Cowherd A1 were pushed away and could no longer hit it;

It was originally going to hit Altair A, but the area planned by Li Qingsong as the deuterium gas field was also pushed away and hit other parts of Altair A.

For smaller celestial bodies, only one of these metal thrusters needs to be deployed. Even for larger objects, these thrusters can be automatically grouped together under the command of the Wukong AI, automatically detecting the asteroid's shape and mass, automatically calculating the fixed points and their respective output levels, and working together to complete the push-off mission.

With the collaboration of more than one billion clones and the roar of numerous factories, an average of more than 10,000 thrusters are launched into space every day and brought under the unified command of Wukong AI.

In space, a space base specifically for parking and charging these thrusters was quickly built.

Normally, these thrusters would wander freely in space. Once they received a command from the Wukong AI, the surrounding thrusters would automatically converge on their target. When energy or fluid became insufficient, they would automatically converge on the space base. After completing a series of recharges, they would automatically depart and enter space, awaiting the next command.

The functions of this system are already quite powerful, but it is not the entire content of the Skynet plan.

This type of propulsion system, which uses isotope batteries as energy and small ion thrusters as power, has too low power after all and can only solve the task of pushing away asteroids with a size of less than 10 meters.

Anything larger than that is beyond our reach. However, these larger asteroids are not uncommon in the Altair galaxy.

Li Qingsong then developed a second type of thruster, which was over two meters in size and weighed about five tons. Its energy source was no longer an isotope battery, but a true nuclear fission reactor.

Above this, there is a third, even larger model, which can be up to ten meters in size and have a total mass of up to 100 tons. Its energy source is a nuclear fusion reactor!
At this moment, the three types of thrusters are moving freely in the Altair A system, pushing away various types of asteroids under the unified command of Wukong AI.

However, these numerous thrusters are still not the entirety of the Skynet plan.

The Skynet plan has one most important component.
