Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 23 Troubles (Please read after the third update!)
Although we are determined to tackle the problem, it is obvious that it cannot be done in a short period of time.

Li Qingsong could only be patient, accumulating little by little, and researching little by little.

Although the number of clones under control has reached the upper limit, Li Qingsong has not stopped cultivating new clones.

At this moment, Li Qingsong arranges his working hours to be 16 hours a day, which includes toilet breaks, meals, and breaks, and the remaining eight hours are for sleeping.

Li Qingsong doesn't need to control him when he sleeps.

A total of 2.1 clones were divided into three shifts by Li Qingsong. At the same time every day, there were only 1.4 clones working at the same time, and there were always 7000 clones sleeping in the dormitory at the same time.

These 7000 control shares are a waste for Li Qingsong and are intolerable.

In order to fill these 7000 blank control shares, and considering that the clones used to fill the blanks also need to sleep and cannot work for 8 hours a day, which also needs to be filled, Li Qingsong planned to cultivate a total of 1.4 clones.

In this way, although some clones' working hours will not reach the limit, it can be guaranteed that there will be 2.1 clones working at all times.

The free working hours can be evenly distributed among the remaining clones, so that each clone can have more rest time. This not only improves the fault tolerance rate and reduces the difficulty of scheduling, but also slows down their physical aging.

In this way, Li Qingsong will have a total of 3.5 clones under his command.

After several years, this goal was successfully achieved.

The Luoshen Star base has now truly prospered.

There are more than 10,000 beds in the newly built large collective dormitories, and they are full every day.

Dozens of large-scale planting, breeding, aquatic products, mushrooms, and fruit cultivation bases produce huge amounts of food every day. The food is transported to the central kitchen by train, processed into finished products by hundreds of clones serving as chefs, and then distributed to every factory, canteen, and base, and delivered to every clone.

Hundreds of different factories are roaring and producing in full swing every day. Under the unified planning of Li Qingsong, they are organically combined together, and there is no phenomenon of overcapacity in one type and insufficient capacity in another.

At every moment, a large number of clones would wake up, then leave the dormitory neatly, put on their own equipment, and rush to different positions according to Li Qingsong's unified plan.

At every moment, a large number of clones would finish their work for the day, take various means of transportation back to the dormitory, and fall asleep without any delay.

Under the unified control of Li Qingsong, each of these clones is "omnipotent".

Each clone has mastered every skill needed by the base.

Maybe a clone was cooking in the kitchen yesterday, driving a train today, operating machinery in a foundry tomorrow, harvesting wheat at a planting base the day after tomorrow, and then going to a chemical laboratory or a metal laboratory to conduct experiments, observe material properties, optimize mechanical structures, and promote overall scientific and technological progress the day after tomorrow.

What work each clone does when he wakes up every day depends entirely on Li Qingsong's plan for the day and the needs of the base.

Under such circumstances, the work efficiency of tens of thousands of clones in the entire base has almost reached its maximum.

Under such circumstances, Li Qingsong's overall technical level improved slowly but steadily.

Even after the scheduling optimization, the number of clones controlled by Li Qingsong has reached its limit.

If I cultivate more clones, I will have nothing to do and can only lie in bed all day like a vegetable.

But Li Qingsong still did not stop cultivating.

The number of clones continued to increase at a rate of 4000 per year. Currently, the total number of clones under Li Qingsong's command has even exceeded 10.16, reaching .

But at the same time, the number of clones under Li Qingsong's control remained at only 2.1. "If we can't control them right now, then we'll just keep them in reserve. Perhaps one day I'll achieve a breakthrough in biotechnology, and my control will skyrocket. Then I can immediately put these clones into use, eliminating the need for slow cultivation."

Li Qingsong thought so.

But just letting these clones lie in bed every day is not enough.

If you lie down for a long time, you will not only develop bedsores and various diseases, but your muscles will also degenerate.

There was no other way, Li Qingsong had to significantly reduce the working hours of a single clone and try to rotate the control of the clones so that each clone could work for a period of time every day, just as exercise.

In this case, the working hours of a single clone were unprecedentedly reduced to less than 6 hours a day, and as the number of clones continued to increase, it was further reduced to only 4 hours.

The rest of the time, I either sleep or lie in bed.

This in turn put enormous pressure on logistics.

Even if you lie still, you still need to eat, drink water, breathe and go to the toilet.

There was no other way, so Li Qingsong had to build several huge agricultural bases again, directly increasing the quarterly wheat output to 1.4 tons to meet the existing demand.

"The number of clones has now reached 15... no more.

If there are any more, the 2.1 clones I can control will simply do nothing and go to the agricultural base to raise pigs and farm."

Li Qingsong reluctantly stopped the operation of the clone factory.

After taking a look at the newly built dormitory building, Li Qingsong sighed.

This type of dormitory building has ten floors, with 100 rooms on each floor. Each room has five bunk beds, and each is divided into three floors, which can accommodate 15 people.

There are 1500 people on each floor, and 1.5 people in one building.

Li Qingsong built a total of 9 buildings, but they were all still full of people sleeping.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be troubled by the number of clones. This is really..."

After taking a look at the biological laboratory, Li Qingsong felt even more annoyed.

A breakthrough in biotechnology remains elusive.

There is no way. The overall scientific and technological level cannot be improved. Simply developing biotechnology will only result in half the effort and twice the result.

Just when Li Qingsong was planning to continue developing basic technology honestly, the clone connected to his mind at the No. 45 iron ore base suddenly lost contact.

"what's the situation?"

Li Qingsong immediately controlled a clone located nearby to raise his head and observe the situation there.

The next moment, Li Qingsong took a breath of cold air.

"What the hell is this..."
