Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 55 110!
"Unfortunately, after this upgrade, I've completely exhausted the potential of the monster bird's body fluids. If I want to cultivate high-quality clones in the future, I'll have to seriously research biotechnology myself."

Li Qingsong thought with a little regret, but he became excited the next moment.

"Once this latest batch of clones is cultivated, my consciousness connection count will be increased to over a million, and several major projects can begin simultaneously!"

Half a year passed quietly as Li Qingsong worked hard to ensure the upgrading and transformation of the production lines of various warship components, as well as the expansion of production capacity at the mining and purification ends.

During these six months, the culture medium preparation factory with a new formula has finally produced enough culture medium for one round of cultivation, that is, 15 doses of culture medium. The new upgrade and transformation of the clone cultivation factory has also been completed.

A new batch of 15 clones has begun to be cultivated, and the 100 high-quality clones cultivated in small batches before are also ready to be born.

As soon as they were born, Li Qingsong immediately extended the consciousness link to them.

After a brief feeling, Li Qingsong was shocked to find that the maximum number of consciousness connections of this latest clone had exceeded 100 million, reaching 107 million!
But he wasn't the one with the highest number of connections. Switching bodies again, and sensing all 100 clones, Li Qingsong discovered that one clone had a whopping 109.55 connections!
It’s close to 110 million!

"Okay, good."

Li Qingsong immediately transferred into this body, and at the same time controlled his consciousness to start connecting with the other clones.

In an instant, approximately 40 clones that had not been connected were included in the connection range.

Although they are all "low-quality clones" of the previous generation and their average brainpower is much worse than the clones used now, the accumulation of numbers can also cause qualitative changes.

With a surge of brain power, Li Qingsong once again felt that his brain power had been greatly improved.

"With these 40 clones, we can now begin all the work that was previously impossible."

Previously, the production lines for various components required for warships had been upgraded, but due to insufficient manpower, they had to maintain a low production level.

All the new oxygen mines, tolin mines, methane mines, ethane mines, formaldehyde mines, etc., also have to remain vacant after they are built because there are not enough people.

The blueprints for the large-scale comprehensive space base have already been completed, but at this point only some initial building materials have been transported and formal construction has not yet begun.

But now, with the addition of these 40 clones, everything is different.

The originally empty production line was instantly filled with well-trained high-end workers who were more skilled than experienced workers and had a full range of knowledge reserves.

High-end workers of this level and rank would be coveted by major factories everywhere, offering millions of dollars in annual salaries. But for Li Qingsong, any toilet cleaner would be a good choice.

All the vacant mines, refineries, metallurgical plants, and foundries were staffed in an instant.

The technical research and development of the deep space communication network, which had been progressing with difficulty, began to progress rapidly after the addition of 10,000 new clones.

The only areas that are a bit stressful are planting, breeding and aquaculture bases.

Obviously, as Li Qingsong's maximum consciousness connection number continues to increase, the total population under his command will also skyrocket. At Li Qingsong's current breeding rate, 30 new clones will be born each year. In just a few years, the total population will surge to over 500 million.

500 million clones will consume 15 tons of meat, 10 tons of eggs, 10 tons of milk, 120 million tons of vegetables and 60 tons of grain in a year!

Just 1.5 tons of salt are consumed every year!

If we include some miscellaneous items such as fruits and sugar, the total annual consumption will reach 300 million tons.

"But it doesn't matter."

Li Qingsong thought: "The more food consumed, the larger the population. The more people there are, the higher the productivity. If there's not enough food, we can just build more food bases."

As a result, along with the construction of more than ten super-large grain production bases, numerous cargo and combat spacecraft were also produced.

Huge amounts of building materials began to be transported into space. Tens of thousands of clones wearing spacesuits worked day and night, holding vacuum welding guns, driving various industrial construction spacecraft, etc., and built this space base bit by bit in the vast and empty space.

At the same time, various war preparation materials began to be produced at full capacity.

On the bullet production line, steel, copper, tin, aluminum, etc. from various mineral bases are processed by large equipment and flow out from the conveyor belt like water. A production line can produce 1000 bullets per minute, which means 144 million bullets per day.

Li Qingsong currently owns 100 such production lines!
The daily output is 1.44 million pieces!

On the standard model artillery shell production line, standard artillery shells weighing 15KG are also produced continuously, with one production line producing 2000 shells a day.

Li Qingsong also owns 100 such production lines, with a daily output of 20 artillery shells.

Interstellar missiles are relatively complex and require a high level of technology, so they can't be produced very quickly. But even with a single missile weighing 600kg, Li Qingsong still managed to produce 2000 of them per day!

In addition to the standard models of interstellar missiles, Li Qingsong also developed more types of interstellar missiles, such as high-power missiles with double the warhead charge, high-speed missiles with half the warhead charge but double the propellant, shotgun missiles with the same warhead charge but a large number of additional projectiles, and so on.

Assuming that the charge of a bullet is 0.5 grams, the charge and propellant of a shell are 8 kg in total, and the charge of an interstellar missile is 150 kg on average, the average amount of gunpowder required by Li Qingsong every day is as high as about 2000 tons, which is 73 tons a year.

It would take three or four factories with an annual output of 20 tons of explosives running at full capacity to supply the demand.

This was just the charge. The rest included bullet bodies, shell casings, interstellar missile parts, and most importantly, spacecraft shells and parts, as well as the building materials needed for space bases and the fuel needed for cargo ships to transport supplies...

All in all, the 110 million clones working at this moment produce an average of hundreds of millions of tons of materials and equipment each year.

With cargo ships constantly transporting building materials and supplies into space, tens of thousands of clones working day and night in space, and millions of clones struggling tirelessly in ground bases, in just less than two years, the first two of the three goals set by Li Qingsong had been achieved.
