Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 52 Battleship!

This was not the only thing that shocked Li Qingsong.

Further analysis showed that the main components of these gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorofluorocarbons, etc.

These gases all have one thing in common: they are all closely related to industrial activities!

Li Qingsong knew that because of its long-term large-scale industrial activities and the large-scale emission of industrial waste gas into the natural environment, Luoshen Star already had an extremely thin atmosphere.

The main gas components of Luoshen's atmosphere are also these gases!

These gases from Roselle are emitted by itself, so who emits the gases from the dwarf planet?

A very reasonable guess emerged in Li Qingsong's mind.

On the dwarf planet just over 4000 million kilometers away from him, there are also some intelligent life forms - it is not yet certain whether they are humans or other types, and they are also carrying out large-scale industrial activities!

I actually have a neighbor!
Since there are neighbors, then who was the person who detonated the infrared bomb next to Luoshen Star, attracting a flock of strange birds and causing huge trouble to himself?
It can only be them!
So, why are they doing this? Are they connected to the inexplicable disappearance of human civilization?

A strong sense of crisis arose in Li Qingsong's heart.

In any case, judging from the fact that they launched infrared bombs to detonate and kill people with borrowed knives, they are enemies, not friends.

"I have to send a probe over there to find out what's going on with them."

Li Qingsong thought rapidly, "Although 4000 million kilometers isn't far, accurately sending a probe there is still somewhat beyond my current capabilities."

The dwarf planet has a radius of about 800 kilometers.

The accuracy required to launch a probe over a distance of 4000 million kilometers is comparable to accurately hitting a mosquito over a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Even if their probes can carry more fuel and continuously adjust their course in space, they must at least have sufficient remote sensing technology, space positioning, and long-distance communication technology to support them.

At present, these technologies themselves are still basically blank.

"Next, we must devote all our efforts to developing these technologies. Besides that, there's another, more important task: building warships!
Regardless of whether we fall behind or not, we must first go all out to build the most advanced warships currently available. The more the better! No matter what, we must at least have some self-defense capability!
Fortunately, the previous Kaitian-1 spacecraft has accumulated a lot of spacecraft manufacturing technology for me, and the space laboratory is also continuously producing new technologies. It is completely feasible for me to manufacture warships at this stage.

Now I just hope that my neighbor can give me some time and not cause trouble for me right now..."

Li Qingsong thought secretly and made a decisive decision.

Right now is not the right time to go all out on technological development. Scientific research consumes too much resources and manpower, and I can't afford it at this stage.

Therefore, after mobilizing the brainpower of tens of thousands of clones and completing the design of his first generation of warships in a short period of time, Li Qingsong only retained more than 30,000 clones to continue key scientific research, such as remote sensing technology, deep space communication, deep space positioning and other technologies.

All remaining scientific research clones were laid off and all thrown into production.

I must produce a large number of warships in a short period of time!

Many factories and bases immediately became busy.

The design of this first generation of warships was based on the Kaitian-1 spacecraft, and on this basis, a large number of technological innovations were made and many modules were added. The most important of these was obviously the weapon system.

What's a battleship without weapons?
In addition, the radar system is also crucial. After all, in space, radar is equivalent to the eyes of a warship.

In addition, attitude control systems, energy systems, communication systems, etc. are also crucial.

In the huge factory, countless robotic arms, controlled by chips, moved flexibly and delicately, installing a large number of parts from other factories into the empty shell of the spacecraft one by one.

In order to build the first battleship of this first generation, Li Qingsong specially selected 1000 clones, who did nothing else but think.

Drawings and actual manufacturing are two different things. During the actual manufacturing process, a large number of previously undiscovered problems will be exposed.

So whenever a new problem arises, these 1000 clones will inspect it on site, think about it on site, modify the drawings and adjust the structure on site, and provide solutions on site.

The modification plans from here will be instantly synchronized to the thousands of factories involved in the spacecraft industry chain, so almost every component that makes up the spacecraft will be modified and then sent to the final assembly workshop to once again undergo the test of real manufacturing.

If there are any problems, we will modify it again, and then ship it back after the modification, and repeat this process.

After about half a month of hard work, during which time there were some bumps and at least hundreds of revisions, including more than a dozen major overall changes, the first ship of the first generation of warships was finally built.

It is only because of Li Qingsong that such high efficiency can be achieved, so many processes can be completed in just half a month.

If it were a normal intelligent civilization, it would take at least ten years to accomplish all this.

At this moment, under the intense combustion of methane and oxygen, the battleship rushed into space at a speed far exceeding that of the cargo ship.

Its shape is still hemispherical, but unlike the cargo spacecraft, it has many more facilities.

First of all, there are two machine guns that can be turned freely.

They are powered by chemical gunpowder, with a maximum firing rate of around 2000 rounds per minute, and bullet velocity reaching 1 kilometer per second.

This has exceeded the first cosmic velocity of Luoshen. This means that even if these bullets are fired from the surface of Luoshen, they can enter the orbit of Luoshen after being fired and will never fall.

Li Qingsong had packed a whopping 40 bullets into the ammunition bay. Assuming each bullet weighed 10 grams, that meant the ammunition alone weighed 4 tons.

It is also equipped with two machine guns that can fire shells with their own internal ammunition.

A shell weighs about 15 kilograms, and it carried 200 shells, which is 3 tons.

In addition to machine guns and cannons, it also has 8 missile launchers at the bottom, which can carry 8 first-generation guideable missiles independently designed by Li Qingsong. Each missile weighs 600 kilograms, which adds up to 4.8 tons.

Not counting other things, the load of this battleship alone, including various weapons, reaches 11.8 tons!
If its "fuel tank" is full, it can be filled with a total of 50 tons of liquid oxygen and methane. At this time, its overall mass will reach 120 tons.

At this moment, such a huge ship came into space.
