Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 312 "Internal Strength"

The birth of Yuanshi AI marks that Li Qingsong's artificial intelligence system has reached an unprecedented height.

It can even be said that if Li Qingsong is willing, he can transform from a cloned Scourge to an intelligent Scourge at any time, just like the previous Black Mountain civilization, and leave all subsequent developments to the Yuanshi AI for decision-making, while he can just lie back and relax.

Moreover, the Primordial AI will definitely be able to do better than Akainu AI.

But it is obvious that Li Qingsong would not do that.

The birth of Yuanshi AI also directly increased Li Qingsong's industrial capacity to at least four times its previous level.

The alliance between the Havelier and Montenegrin civilizations had previously achieved a one-plus-one-greater-than-two effect. And now, to some extent, a similar effect could be achieved between Li Qingsong and the Primordial AI.

Because Li Qingsong's existence is special and more efficient and powerful than the original Haveler civilization, his combination with the Yuanshi AI is a higher improvement than the original alliance between Haveler and Montenegro civilization!
According to a rough estimate, Li Qingsong believes that with the increase of his maximum number of consciousness connections to 80 billion and the birth of Yuanshi AI, his current industrial strength has actually increased by at least ten times compared to before in the Lyra G16 galaxy!
Furthermore, Li Qingsong had a special advantage: he could switch between industrial and scientific research strength at will.

For an ordinary civilization, industrial strength is industrial strength, and scientific research strength is scientific research strength. Although the two are related, they are ultimately different.

After all, an engineer who spends all day drawing blueprints can't possibly work in a cutting-edge physics laboratory. Even if he did, he wouldn't be qualified.

This is the non-conversion between industrial strength and scientific research strength.

But for Li Qingsong, even if a clone was cooking in the kitchen the moment before, it would not be an obstacle for him to work in the most advanced gravitational wave detection base the next moment.

As a result, industrial capacity has increased tenfold, which also means that scientific research strength has increased tenfold for Li Qingsong.

Therefore, not long after the birth of Yuanshi AI, under the powerful combination of biological intelligence and artificial intelligence, the core technology of the Haveler civilization, the variable energy shield, was thoroughly analyzed and digested by Li Qingsong and became Li Qingsong's own technology.

Li Qingsong even made some optimizations and iterations to it. Now the variable energy shield made by Li Qingsong is more advanced than the original version of the Haveler civilization.

At this point, all the more urgent and major scientific research tasks had been completed. What remained was to thoroughly digest and absorb all the conventional scientific and technological information and technologies of the two civilizations bit by bit.

This is an extremely tedious and time-consuming task with numerous individual technologies contributing little to overall improvement.

Fortunately, Li Qingsong now has greater scientific research capabilities, and it seems that it won’t take too long to complete it.

Time is still slowly passing, the huge flying star is getting smaller and smaller, and Li Qingsong's huge fleet is always maintaining a speed of 55% of the speed of light, constantly advancing in this vast universe.

A total of 80 billion clones are busy in laboratories or factories at all times, and 40 billion clones are rotated at all times, so that Li Qingsong's 80 billion consciousness connections are always occupied, without any wasted.

Materials science, biology, medicine, physics, engineering, machinery, armor, radar, engines, propulsion, communications, computing, and so on. Li Qingsong has made comprehensive attacks on every discipline and every field under it, leaving none behind.

Even if he was only digesting and absorbing, only learning instead of developing on his own, even if Li Qingsong now possessed the Yuanshi AI and a maximum number of 80 billion consciousness connections, even if he had such a huge scientific research capability, in front of this scientific and technological data from the two major civilizations, Li Qingsong still had a feeling.

I feel like Yugong in human mythology, facing a mountain.

There was no way around it. The amount of scientific and technological information was simply too vast and too complex. Li Qingsong gradually realized something.

For ordinary intelligent civilizations, the difficulties they face in improving their technological advancement are probably not limited to researching and finding new science.

Even if you don't have to find new science through your own efforts, but all the new scientific information is placed in front of you like you are now, just learning, digesting and absorbing it is difficult enough.

Think about it, when I was still on Earth and in school, civilization created the best possible learning conditions for students like me. There were professional teachers who patiently explained each knowledge point, and all kinds of knowledge were available everywhere on the Internet, but... I just couldn't learn it.

That's just some basic, very detailed knowledge.

If a civilization wants to improve through learning, what it learns must be all-encompassing, involving every field of science.

It will take at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of outstanding cutting-edge scientific and technological talents to study wholeheartedly and devote all their efforts to learn all this knowledge and digest and absorb it.

Cultivating dozens or even billions of outstanding cutting-edge scientific and technological talents and allowing them to study without distraction would probably have been very difficult for the original Haveli civilization.

This requires a stable social environment, a strong core government, a positive social atmosphere, a stable social mechanism, and a large number of service personnel and engineering personnel willing to contribute to the operation of society despite relatively meager salaries.

This is difficult enough for a huge civilization with hundreds of billions of people.

After all, the larger the population, the more difficult it is to manage.

But doing this only qualifies you to "learn" the next stage of scientific and technological information.

"In this vast universe, even if a super civilization were to directly disclose all of its technological data, there would be very few civilizations that could advance to strong nuclear, gravitational, or even higher stages.

While acquiring external scientific and technological information to achieve self-improvement is certainly a shortcut, it's not something every civilization can take advantage of.

The most crucial and core thing lies in the "internal strength" of civilization itself.

If you don't practice internal skills well, even if the scientific and technological information is placed in front of you, you can only stare at it and will not be able to digest it at all.

With "internal strength", even if you cannot obtain scientific and technological information from the outside, you can still rely on your own efforts to achieve technological advancement.

Fortunately, fortunately, I am different from ordinary civilizations. My 'internal strength' does not need to be practiced at all, it is naturally at its peak.

The only thing that restricts me is the number of consciousness connections.

As long as I have enough consciousness connections, I can easily handle any task involving massive technological data digestion."
