Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 75 330!
For the special environment of Rosene, rockets and spacecraft can be considered the same thing to some extent.

The only difference is that one is disposable, while the other is reusable and has more functions. But as for thrusters, don't they both burn methane and oxygen to generate high-temperature, high-pressure gas and eject it to generate power?

As the spacecraft's maneuverability improves, the rocket's performance will naturally improve as well.

Like before, sending a probe to the earth required a rocket with a mass of 70,000 tons. This kind of thing will never happen again.

In this case, it becomes inevitable to launch probes to each larger planet to comprehensively survey its resource reserves and prepare for the future.

Although the human world had already conducted a comprehensive survey of every major celestial body, Li Qingsong did not have those data.

We still have to be self-reliant.

So, Li Qingsong quickly manufactured thousands of rockets and probes, transported them to the orbit around Luoshen, and ignited and launched them one by one like firecrackers.

These rockets vary depending on the mission objectives, but the largest one has a total mass of no more than 2000 tons, which is tiny compared to that super-giant rocket.

Of course, even if thruster technology improved, it wouldn't be possible to achieve such a huge difference. Most importantly, Li Qingsong wasn't that anxious about time at the moment. These probes didn't need to rush to reach their targets; they could just fly slowly.

In this way, a rocket with a mass not exceeding 2000 tons will be sufficient.

As a result, more than a thousand probes followed different orbits and headed towards the distant deep space.

Among these detectors, some are relay communication detectors.

They will orbit the sun in different orbits, providing communication relay services for other satellites.

The other part of the satellite is the probe.

Some of them will reach the eight planets and orbit around them, while others will target the satellites of the major planets and some dwarf planets.

For example, Europa, Titan, Ceres, Vesta, Pluto, Triton, the Moon, etc.

They will fly through the vast space for more than 20 years before reaching their final destination.

After doing this, Li Qingsong no longer paid attention to the follow-up and just waited.

His attention was once again focused on the most important matter at the moment.

Large-scale development of the enemy planet.

With the rapid advancement of technology in this period, except for some resources with higher reserves, such as iron ore and aluminum ore, which are still abundant, the reserves of many remaining resources have become increasingly smaller and it has become increasingly difficult to mine them.

For example, rare earth elements, copper ore, dry ice ore, etc.

We must immediately start obtaining resources from the enemy planet.

"Then... Jade Emperor! It's your turn!"

At this moment, in the No. 1 supercomputer that Li Qingsong values most, the Jade Emperor AI has been continuously fed and trained for several years, and has undergone experimental tests, achieving results that Li Qingsong is relatively satisfied with.

In that case, the Luoshen Star base cluster will be temporarily handed over to you!

Li Qingsong once again prepared a huge fleet.

The total size of this fleet reached more than 1,500 spaceships.

Aside from the 400 Mercury-class battleships, the remaining 1100 ships were all cargo ships, fully loaded with various machines, equipment, initial energy sources, and most importantly, clones.

On average, one cargo ship can transport 3000 clones. 1100 ships means 330 million clones!
It's a bit crowded, but it doesn't matter. The clones won't complain or express dissatisfaction.

Li Qingsong's consciousness is now in the head of one of the 330 million clones.

Yes, this time, Li Qingsong would personally lead the expedition! He would complete the large-scale industrial construction of Enemy Star in the shortest possible time, then leave a certain number of clones there and hand over the entire base to the Jade Emperor for management.

During the time he was away, Luoshen Star was also managed by the Jade Emperor, which was considered a comprehensive inspection of it.

Amid the roar of countless engines, the huge fleet slowly broke free from the gravitational field of Luoshen and flew into the vast space.

At the beginning, the communication delay between Li Qingsong and the clone was very low, which could achieve an effect close to real-time control.

But as the distance increases, the communication delay becomes higher.

Therefore, the production model envisioned by Li Qingsong entered the stage of actual verification.

The basic operations of the entire Luoshen Star base cluster are all managed by the Jade Emperor.

The millions of clones left there all became supervisors, maintainers and decision-makers.

They sat in the huge control room, observing every change in data, judging the overall operating conditions, and under the control of Li Qingsong, thinking about what these changes meant and whether there was a malfunction.

The connection between them and Li Qingsong is no longer real-time. Often, a new situation takes tens of seconds or even minutes to be transmitted to Li Qingsong's mind and then get new feedback.

But that’s okay; these decisions don’t need to be made immediately, and a delay of a few minutes is acceptable.

Even for the maintenance work of certain equipment, the real-time requirements are not too high.

At most, an action will be paused for a few seconds or tens of seconds, just think of it as remotely controlling the robot to do its work.

Overall, the operation of the entire Luoshen base cluster remains stable.

Under the control of the Jade Emperor AI, trains are still running, factories are still roaring, and planting and animal husbandry bases are still producing large amounts of food.

Even the scientific research clones did not stop working.

There was just some delay in the communication between them. Once an idea was born in the mind of one clone, it would take several minutes to synchronize to the minds of the other clones.

Because of these delays, the overall efficiency of the base has undoubtedly been significantly reduced, and some more complex tasks cannot be done for the time being - after all, Jade Emperor AI is not a true artificial intelligence, and its capabilities are still relatively limited.

But it doesn’t matter. At this stage, Li Qingsong’s requirements for the Jade Emperor AI are not that high.

As long as it can handle some basic production tasks in the future, that's enough. I'll handle the rest myself.

Time passed quietly, and driven by the new thrusters, this huge fleet took only four months to reach the orbit around the enemy planet again.

Looking at the numerous debris and fragments still existing in the nearby space, and the tattered earth of the enemy star, Li Qingsong felt filled with pride.

"Can the so-called development of your Bluetuk civilization be called development?
Now, I'll show you what real planetary development looks like!"
