Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 51 Sky Survey
In the orbit around Roselle, in a small space laboratory about 50 meters long, some clones are carefully controlling some equipment in the zero-gravity space.

Some silica that had been highly purified on the surface of Roselle began to melt again here to undergo further purification.

At the same time, some special additives, such as certain inorganic salts, alkaline oxides, etc. are also added into it.

After completing all the processes, this large piece of glass begins to "grow" in the gravity-free space.

Without the interference of gravity and in a highly vacuum state, they will be able to "grow" extremely flat and smooth, without any bending, and can grow very large.

This means it will have higher optical performance.

After completing the initial processing, the next step is more detailed further operations, such as polishing and coating.

After more than ten days of hard work, Li Qingsong finally made the first main lens of the space telescope.

Without wasting any time, Li Qingsong took it out immediately and installed it and some auxiliary lenses into the lens barrel that had been manufactured in advance.

So a space telescope orbiting Rosea was built.

Ignoring the technological level of other components, judging solely from the quality of the lens, it has reached the highest level equivalent to the era of human world nations, roughly equivalent to the once famous James Webb Space Telescope.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Qingsong’s technical level has reached that level at this moment.

The reason for this is that Luoshen allows for extremely convenient access to space.

Here, Li Qingsong can manufacture and install lenses directly in space, unlike on Earth, where they have to be manufactured on the ground, and then because there is not enough space in the rocket, the lenses have to be cut and assembled in space, which is extremely troublesome.

At this moment, the first space telescope owned by Li Qingsong pointed its lens towards the earth.

The light from the earth will be collected by this huge lens with a diameter of six meters, allowing Li Qingsong to analyze data about the earth from it.

After observing for a period of time, Li Qingsong saw these data.

The performance of this telescope is indeed very powerful, and it has indeed collected a lot of information about the Earth.

Even the composition of the Earth's atmosphere can be obtained from this observation.

only……

It's still too rough.

It still can't really see the Earth clearly.

There is no way. The earth is too far away from me, more than 150 billion kilometers away.

If we want to obtain more detailed information about the Earth, or even directly figure out what is happening on Earth, it is impossible with the current level of observation.

"Let's wait until the technology is more advanced."

In desperation, Li Qingsong had to temporarily give up observing the earth and turn his attention to another matter.

Search the interstellar space around Luoshen and find the enemy hiding in the dark!

So, under the control of the automatic program, the first telescope made by Li Qingsong began to scan the entire celestial sphere, collecting all information from the universe, trying to find any abnormalities.

This is a very complex and massive undertaking. Using just this one telescope would probably take several years to complete.

But it didn't matter. After this first telescope, Li Qingsong quickly built more than a dozen telescopes of the same specifications. He placed them all in orbit around Luoshen according to a specific geometric structure, each demarcating a section of the sky and simultaneously scanning the celestial sphere. While waiting for the survey data, Li Qingsong also kept up with other aspects.

In the space laboratory and the scientific research base on the surface of Luoshen, a total of 30 scientific research clones are still researching new technologies non-stop and doing their best to improve their technical level.

Every base and every factory is still running at full capacity. In addition to producing a large amount of war preparedness materials, they are also verifying the technology currently being used, providing a foundation for subsequent optimization and improvement.

Time passed quietly.

During this period, more than a dozen survey telescopes observed a large amount of data.

Li Qingsong even saw a suspected supernova explosion outside the Milky Way, as well as numerous nebulae, galaxies, huge stars, and the like.

There is no doubt that these data are very valuable. Although they cannot improve one's scientific and theoretical foundation in the short term, in the long run, they can greatly expand one's horizons and lay the foundation for further development of basic theories in the future.

People on Earth will even launch many large telescopes and detectors specifically to observe these events.

But now, Li Qingsong couldn't care less about these things.

He was still working at full capacity while searching for traces of the enemy.

Finally, an abnormal signal caught Li Qingsong's attention.

During a routine sky survey, the space telescope No. 3 observed a dim point of light. Further observations showed that it was a dwarf planet similar to Roselle.

Dwarf planet?
Dwarf planets have low mass, small size and low luminosity. But since it was still observed by me, it can only prove that it is not far away from me.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to see it at all.

At this moment, five of the dozen or so space telescopes were mobilized and aimed at it at the same time.

After careful measurement, Li Qingsong determined that the distance between it and himself was only more than 4000 million kilometers.

"There's another dwarf planet 4000 million kilometers away from Luoshen? I never knew that before."

Not only did Li Qingsong not know, even the human civilization at that time did not know.

Whether a dwarf planet can be discovered by humans is a matter of chance and luck, as they are too small and too dim.

It’s normal that this dwarf planet has not been discovered before.

There are a large number of dwarf planets at the edge of the solar system, which is normal.

It is estimated that there may be tens of thousands of dwarf planets outside the Kuiper Belt and within the Oort Cloud of the solar system, and the number of asteroids and comets is incalculable.

But the only abnormal thing was that Li Qingsong actually discovered some gas around this dwarf planet.

These gases cause some changes in the color and wavelength of sunlight, and it is these changes that indicate the existence of these gases.

It’s just… a dwarf planet, how could there be gas around it?
The gravity of the dwarf planet is too weak to hold these free gases, and they will be stripped away completely by interstellar radiation.

In this case, there is only one possibility left.

There is a gas source on this dwarf planet that is constantly replenishing its lost gas.

　Three updates today, and one more to come!
