Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 44 Huge Development
Technological research and development is a very resource-intensive task.

In other words, Li Qingsong's current productivity is large enough and the resource supply is abundant enough, so he is able to build a special research and development institution at this moment, invest tens of thousands of clones, and ignore everything else and focus on researching technology.

Therefore, at this stage, this technology research and development base has become the "top" of all production chains.

All production is ultimately aimed at supplying the R&D base. The R&D base's output, in turn, increases the productivity of the entire base. Expanding its own scale also allows it to supply more materials to the R&D base, allowing the R&D base to initiate the next step of research, which consumes more resources. This cycle repeats, resulting in continuous technological advancement and productivity increases.

During this process, the base will become larger and larger, and the population will increase, so the number of fully self-made clones that can be invested in research and development will also increase, and Li Qingsong will have more brain power to mobilize.

The entire base cluster is combined into an integrated organism because of this R&D base.

Luoshen is full of vitality and everything is developing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, another six months passed, and a new batch of 11 clones were born. As a result, Li Qingsong was finally able to achieve the situation where " clones are online at any given time," eliminating the need to waste his consciousness connection quota when the clones needed to rest.

Under such circumstances, the first major scientific research breakthrough occurred after the construction of the R&D base was completed.

Modern chip manufacturing technology has finally been successfully researched!

In a laboratory somewhere in the computing building, a cylindrical silicon rod made with highly purified technology was carefully brought to the cutting workshop under the control of a machine.

Here, it is cut into a thin silicon wafer.

The silicon wafer is then sent to the oxidation workshop, where a thin layer of silicon dioxide is formed on its surface.

The silicon dioxide layer can act as an insulator and can also be used as a mask for subsequent processes.

Then comes the next production process, where a layer of photosensitive material is applied to it, then exposed to ultraviolet light, soaked in chemicals and subsequently etched, and tiny circuit patterns appear on the silicon wafer.

After that, through a series of processes such as doping, deposition, multi-layer interconnection, segmentation, testing, and packaging, a larger silicon wafer is divided into multiple smaller individual chips.

Obviously, this method can make circuits on silicon wafers smaller than the circuits and transistors previously filled in using hand soldering.

As a result, more transistors can be integrated per unit area. With more transistors, the chip will have stronger performance, faster computing speed, and can process more and more complex data.

At this moment, the first generation of modern chips produced by Li Qingsong, each small chip with an area of only 10 square centimeters, can integrate transistors!
Previously, chips manufactured by manual welding could only integrate one thousand transistors per chip with an area of 200 square centimeters.

Its area has been reduced to one twentieth of its original size, while its performance has been increased tenfold!
Not only that, power consumption, heat generation, reliability and other aspects have also been greatly improved.

Looking at this chip he produced with his own hands, whose manufacturing process can be said to have reached the micron level, although it is still extremely backward compared to the peak era of mankind, Li Qingsong still smiled with satisfaction.

The foundation has been laid, and subsequent iterations and optimizations are all that is needed.

After a series of subsequent process fine-tuning, the original chip factory that produced iron-shell chips finally underwent a comprehensive upgrade and transformation.

A variety of new equipment was installed inside, and production began. With industrialized, large-scale production, this chip factory could produce 1000 million micron-scale chips per year!
At the same time, the production process is also a process of continuous research on chip technology.

Many details of chip technology will be born in the process. At the same time, new ideas, new methods and processes in research institutions will continue to be tried in chip factories. The combination of the two will enable the continuous development of chip technology.

After the chip factory went into production, a large number of newly produced chips completely changed the original production pattern.

Many iron-shell chips were recycled and destroyed, and a new generation of chips with more powerful functions were put into use, which further optimized the production process, improved the degree of automation, and increased production efficiency.

This is just one technological advancement in chip technology.

In addition to chip technology, there are many more technologies in the science and technology research and development base, and breakthroughs have emerged thanks to the hard work of professional scientific research clones.

High-precision machine tools, high-strength steel, new casting processes, new internal combustion engine manufacturing technology, high-voltage power supply technology, more efficient generator technology...

And so on and so forth. Almost every day, new technological breakthroughs appear. These new technological breakthroughs will be applied as quickly as possible, tested in actual production, and then the relevant data will be fed back to the R&D base for further optimization...

The original clumsy and crude style of the Luoshen base group has gradually evolved into a precise, exquisite and efficient construction style with the continuous emergence of new technologies.

Under such circumstances, the biotechnology that Li Qingsong has always valued has continued to achieve breakthroughs.

At this stage, he can finally actively adjust the formula of the nutrient solution, purify the monster bird's body fluids with higher precision, remove harmful impurities, retain beneficial ingredients, and at the same time create higher-precision cultivation devices that can allow clones to develop better.

As a result, Li Qingsong's consciousness connection number broke through again.

Now he can connect to 50 clones at the same time!

After years of continuous production, the total number of clones under Li Qingsong's command has exceeded one million for the first time, reaching 120 million!

Moreover, the newly upgraded clone breeding factory is still breeding at an average rate of 20 clones per year.

At this moment, the number of bases under Li Qingsong's command has skyrocketed to 535. If they are regarded as a cluster, the area covered by this cluster has increased to more than 500 million square kilometers.

The surface area of the entire Luoshen is only about 1500 million square kilometers.

The total length of the railways connecting these bases has reached millions of kilometers. Every moment, a large number of trains are running on them, transporting huge amounts of supplies.

At this moment, Li Qingsong's gaze finally turned to the vast space.

"Now I am finally qualified to develop aerospace technology..."
