Chapter 208 First Priority
Liquid metal lakes of varying sizes are scattered across the surface of the planet.

The only elements or alloys that can remain solid are those with higher melting points. The rest with lower melting points have all melted.

There are even ripples on these "lakes" and sometimes "waves".

This planet has no atmosphere, and those ripples and waves are not caused by wind.

That was formed because of frequent asteroid impacts.

Even at such a close distance from the host star, asteroid activity is still frequent. Even this large planet itself is located in an asteroid belt.

The definition of a major planet is that it orbits a star and has a mass sufficient to clear its orbit.

Judging from these two definitions, this planet does not seem to be a major planet because it has not cleared its orbit.

How many asteroids are there in the same orbit around V432 Pegasi?
Li Qingsong even roughly estimated that the mass of the entire asteroid belt was as high as 75% of the mass of the giant planet! Roughly equivalent to the mass of the entire Earth.

The total mass of the countless asteroids in the asteroid belt in the solar system is only about 5/10,000 of that of the Earth.

This shows how huge this asteroid belt is.

But even so, Li Qingsong still identified this rocky planet numbered a as a large planet.

The reason is simple. It's not that it doesn't have the ability to clear the rest of the celestial bodies in its orbit, it just takes time.

In a few hundred million years, there will probably be no asteroids left in its orbit, and they will probably all hit it.

Those that don't hit it will be driven out of their current orbits, either crashing into stars or being expelled outside the galaxy.

By then, its total mass is expected to have grown to about 1.3 times its current mass.

It is still in its rapid growth stage.

However, Li Qingsong's arrival was destined to temporarily halt this process.

Industrial development requires a stable environment, and asteroid impacts all day long are unacceptable.

"Planet A is rich in various mineral resources. Great! I'll use you as my industrial center."

Looking at the "shimmering" planet earth, Li Qingsong made a decision.

Many small spaceships immediately began to land from the huge fleet. They braved the scorching heat of the Pegasus V342 star, which was as big as a house, and landed on the surface of Planet A in the dazzling light, and immediately began corresponding industrial construction.

At the same time, another part of the fleet docked next to the gas giant planet about 7 million kilometers away also began related construction under the control of Shengong AI and Li Qingsong's delayed decision.

After achieving breakthroughs in quantum computing technology, Shengong AI's performance has been greatly enhanced. Now, a delay of just a few tens of minutes is completely acceptable.

The first things Li Qingsong started to build were some basic industries, which included only some mines, energy plants, metallurgy and foundry plants.

There aren't many high-level industrial systems, such as precision casting and chip factories, and there are only a few types. This is because Li Qingsong needs to build an indispensable system in the shortest possible time.

Just like the Skynet system in the Altair galaxy, it is specially designed to resist asteroid impacts!
All factories at this moment are serving this goal.

In just one year, the initial batch of over 100,000 factories was completed. With the near-infinite supply of resources from the star systems and planets, a series of metal box-like thrusters capable of automatically networking, searching for targets, and pushing them away were released into space. Within a short period of time, the number of these thrusters accumulated to hundreds of millions.

At the same time, land-based air defense bases were built one after another on the surface of each planet.

Therefore, a series of "Skynets" were set up above the more than 50 large satellites, dwarf planets and large planets selected by Li Qingsong to block out all the asteroids that tried to hit them.

Once the asteroid impact problem was resolved, construction of a larger-scale factory began immediately.

Factories sprang up across the desolate, dead, and scorching earth, heavy-loaded railways stretched in all directions, and in space, countless heavy-loaded spacecraft shuttled back and forth along the routes.

A large amount of minerals and industrial products flow between different planets, including iron ore, titanium ore, and carbon oxides from rocky planets, and deuterium, argon, nitrogen, methane and other gases from gas giants. The entire galaxy seems to be connected at this moment.

It took only 30 years for an industrial system of sufficient scale to be fully built.

With the more advanced Shengong AI system, it wouldn't have taken this long. However, due to the unprecedented scale of the industrial system Li Qingsong was building, it still took quite a while.

At this moment, the number of factories under Li Qingsong's command has exceeded 10 million, and the number of quantum supercomputing bases for various AI operations alone has reached more than 100,000.

In the migrating fleet, Li Qingsong built 20,000 quantum supercomputers in order to carry out an almost endless number of scientific calculations.

Scientific computing is the type of computing that consumes the most supercomputing power.

And now, with almost no scientific computing, Li Qingsong has built as many as 100,000 supercomputers!
Fortunately, Li Qingsong's maximum number of consciousness connections has been increased to 15 billion. Otherwise, even if the performance of each AI has been greatly improved in such a short time, it would not be possible to complete this construction task.

Now that the industrial foundation has been laid, it is time to proceed to the next construction plan.

In this next construction plan, Li Qingsong did not plan any large scientific facilities.

Although breaking through to become a strong nuclear civilization is Li Qingsong's most urgent and important need, even Li Qingsong himself is looking forward to it, but Li Qingsong still forcibly suppressed the urge to develop technology in his heart.

Now is not the right time. If I start researching and developing technology now, the omnic apocalypse will arrive before I can even achieve a breakthrough, and I'll end up with nothing.

At this moment, there are more urgent things than developing technology.

In the plan, Li Qingsong divided the construction tasks of this stage into four categories.

1. Production of Mercury-class spacecraft.

Only the smallest Mercury-class ships among the manned warships were produced. Apart from that, no Venus-class or Earth-class ships were built!
In any case, in front of the intelligent mechanical disaster that has reached a strong nuclear level, there will probably be no difference between Mercury-class and Earth-class battleships.
