Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 48 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

At this moment, that thing is in an orbit far away from Luoshen, orbiting Luoshen at an extremely slow speed.

The spaceship, under the control of the clone, quickly approached it and salvaged it.

In the zero-gravity cabin, Li Qingsong carefully looked at the wreckage through the eyes of his clone, and saw that there seemed to be some remnants of mechanical objects on the wreckage.

A chill slowly rose in Li Qingsong's heart.

"This was definitely not created by me! It's not a creation of human civilization!"

There are unexpected technological creations around Luoshen Star that are not made by itself, which obviously means that another existence has arrived here.

So... when was it? Was it before or after he arrived on Luoshen? What were they doing here?
More broadly, when did they arrive in the solar system? Are they related to the disappearance of humans?
Li Qingsong transported the wreckage to the scientific research base on the surface of Luoshen Star as quickly as possible.

There is the most complete laboratory here at the current stage. Perhaps I can analyze what equipment this thing fell from.

After some analysis, looking at the conclusion in front of him, Li Qingsong felt more solemn than ever before.

He figured out what the wreckage was.

There are still some mechanical remnants on it, and its technological level is relatively high. Li Qingsong cannot copy it, but its basic function can still be seen.

Those were clearly the remains of some light-excitation devices!

It's not visible light, but a special wavelength of light in the infrared band. Furthermore, its total energy is extremely high.

In other words, in this frequency band, the light it emits is extremely strong.

Further analysis showed that this particular wavelength of light corresponds to the spectrum of a certain organic substance. And...

After years of breeding and researching those strange birds, Li Qingsong has determined that the organic food that the strange birds like most, when exposed to sunlight, emits light that happens to have this spectrum!
Right, everything is right.

Those strange birds didn't just happen to come to Luoshen!
Those strange birds probably had no intention of coming to Luoshen. But just when they were not far from Luoshen, an extremely high-energy "infrared bomb" exploded near Luoshen, releasing a strong light that was very similar to some kind of organic matter.

Because my technological level was limited at that time and I had no corresponding observation capabilities, I didn't realize this at all.

But the strange birds can see!

So the strange birds thought that there were a lot of organic matter on Luoshen that met their needs, so they changed direction and headed straight for Luoshen.

They were actually consciously led here by some existence hidden in the dark!

That unknown existence wants to use the strange bird flock as a knife to kill himself!
Li Qingsong controlled a clone to suddenly look up and look at the vast universe.

The sky is dotted with stars and is quiet and deep.

"Who is it? Who wants to harm me? Why?"

Recalling the scene when he fought with the strange bird, Li Qingsong felt cold all over.

Although the final result was good, the process was extremely thrilling.

If something goes wrong, all his foundation on Luoshen Star will be destroyed.

If he had not possessed a certain level of industrial capacity and been able to quickly produce cold weapons, if he had not stockpiled a large number of clones in advance, delaying time at the cost of the clones' lives, and eventually quickly developing hot weapons technology, he might have been eaten up by this group of strange birds.

At the same time, Li Qingsong aimed all of his space exploration equipment at the sky. They were still relatively primitive, just some relatively outdated telescopes, radars, and the like, but they were all Li Qingsong had.

After a scan, the space was still empty and nothing was found.

Li Qingsong felt more solemn than ever before.

"We must once again accelerate the pace of scientific and technological development, and at the same time we must fully develop military technology and space exploration technology.

Even if we fall behind, we must at least have some ability to protect ourselves!"

Li Qingsong looked at the space laboratory that had just begun construction.

This space laboratory is the foundation for all my future development.

There are too many technologies that need to be studied in a space environment, and too many experiments that need to be done in zero-gravity space.

Without it, our own spacecraft technology, engine technology, space exploration technology, and weapons and equipment technology suitable for space combat will not be able to develop rapidly.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Qingsong gritted his teeth.

"Build the space laboratory within a year!"

For Li Qingsong, this is an extremely ambitious goal.

Because in his plan, this space laboratory will be a huge kilometer-scale laboratory with a total mass of up to 130 million tons, which is far inferior to the Deep Space Spacecraft.

——This certainly does not mean that Li Qingsong’s current technological level has surpassed human civilization, but rather that the environment of Luoshen is relatively special, and Li Qingsong can achieve round-trip travel between space and the surface with extremely simple technology.

On Earth, however, human launch activities are subject to the Earth's greater gravity and thick atmosphere, making them much more difficult.

But even though it is extremely simple to carry out space launch missions on Luoshen, it is still extremely difficult to build a million-ton experimental base.

Li Qingsong currently owns only 200 Kaitian-type spacecraft, and the transport capacity of a single spacecraft is only two tons.

Assuming that one transport takes eight hours - including refueling, maintenance, loading and unloading, return, etc., this is already the fastest. Even if these 200 Kaitian- spacecraft are at full capacity, it will take almost three years.

Adding the transportation of personnel and various supplies, the total time will probably increase to more than ten years.

And this is just for transportation, not including the time required for actual construction.

"Don't worry about that! Just go all out! We have to complete it within a year!"

Under the threat of this unknown existence, all 70 clones in the entire Luoshen Star base group whose consciousness could be directly linked to Li Qingsong took action.

In the dormitory building, the 200 million clones serving as reserves were also ready to take over at any time.

The entire Luoshen Star seemed to be shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Li Qingsong knew that all his development over the past 100 years was facing a comprehensive test at this moment.

The construction of this space laboratory itself involves almost every industrial category and every industrial capability that we have mastered.

"In that case, let's do it!"
