Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.
Chapter 77 Solution
Chapter 77 Solution
The production here on Enemy Star is mainly basic products. After all, the current AI capabilities are limited, and it is impossible to control the clones on Enemy Star in real time, so it is impossible to carry out overly sophisticated production.
But being more basic means a problem, the quantity of goods must be extremely large.
Based on current production, on average, hundreds of millions of tons of cargo are transported from Enemy Star to Rosen Star every year.
Some of the rarer, high-end, and time-sensitive goods can be transported by special cargo spacecraft - the absolute quantity of this part is actually quite large, roughly reaching an average of tens of millions of tons per year. If Li Qingsong had not specially upgraded the propulsion technology before, the previous spacecraft alone would not have been able to complete these transportations.
But relying on cargo ships, even those with upgraded propulsion technology, transporting tens of millions of tons of cargo each year is already the limit.
How to transport larger quantities of goods that are several times larger than this?
Even if Li Qingsong put all his effort into building spaceships, and there were so many spaceships that they filled the entire route, he would still not be able to transport so much supplies.
so what should I do now?
If this problem is not solved well, then the tens of thousands of factories that Li Qingsong spent several years building on the enemy star will lose a considerable part of their meaning and become useless.
But it's okay.
Long before the large-scale development of Enemy Star, Li Qingsong had already considered this problem and found a solution.
This is the large electromagnetic catapult!
Li Qingsong had found some gentle slopes on the enemy star in advance. At this moment, large-scale construction began using these gentle slopes as construction sites.
Li Qingsong first controlled the clones and drove various machines to complete the reinforcement and leveling of these gentle slopes, building them into a straight line pointing obliquely to the sky.
Afterwards, a large number of special steel rails from the steel plant arrived by train, and countless clones operated mechanical equipment and rushed forward. With the assistance of more special machinery, they laid these special rails one by one on the previously leveled foundation.
Several power plants then sprang up from the ground, with thick cables extending out and connecting to one electromagnetic catapult device after another.
At the same time, Li Qingsong built a well-connected railway line on every gentle slope, extending to every factory on the enemy star.
Every gentle slope is a railway intersection on the enemy planet.
Here, Li Qingsong also built large-scale port facilities, including various tower cranes, gantry cranes, etc., and there is no telling how many there are.
After more than a month of hard work, the first large-scale electromagnetic catapult was finally completed.
Under Li Qingsong's close attention, the first ejection is about to begin.
The power plant's generators roared, and a surge of electricity rolled down the lines. At the beginning of the 30-kilometer-long railway, a huge metal box had been placed on the catapult vehicle and secured.
Each metal box is 30 meters long, 7 meters wide, and 7 meters high, giving it a total volume of approximately 1450 cubic meters.
If used to transport solid oxygen, this box can transport 1800 tons.
If it is used to transport other resources with higher density, this box can even accommodate more than 3000 tons of cargo.
At that moment, powered by a sufficient supply of electricity from a dedicated power plant, the catapult vehicle, carrying a massive 1800-ton cargo box, began its journey along the gently sloping rails. In the first second, its speed increased from a standstill to approximately 10.67 meters per second. In the second, its speed reached 21.34 meters per second.
With each passing second, its speed increased by 10.67 meters, and finally, after about 75 seconds, its speed reached 800 meters per second.
At this time, it was getting faster and faster, and was pushed to the end of the railway track laid on a gentle slope, with a total length of 30 kilometers.
At that moment, the clips securing the cargo box to the catapult vehicle automatically popped open. Without any anchors, the huge and heavy cargo box immediately separated from the catapult vehicle due to inertia.
Under the restriction of the rails, the catapult car passed the highest point of the gentle slope, continued to move forward along the downhill slope and began to slow down.
Because the heavy cargo box had lost its fixation, it could only continue along its current trajectory and fly directly out from the highest point of the gentle slope.
Normally, under the influence of the planet's gravity, the cargo box will fall to the ground of the planet on its own after flying for a period of time.
But the situation is different now.
The reason is simple, its speed has reached 800 meters per second at this moment. And this speed has exceeded the first cosmic speed of the enemy star!
Once it exceeds the first cosmic velocity, it will no longer fall down, but will begin to revolve around the enemy planet like a satellite!
The heavy cargo box flew higher and higher, and finally arrived in space about 40 kilometers away from the enemy planet, where it established a stable orbit around the enemy planet.
Without using rockets, spacecraft, or any chemical fuel propulsion equipment, Li Qingsong threw such a heavy cargo box directly into space in this way!
In the entire process of transporting goods, breaking free from the planet's gravity and entering space is the most energy-consuming stage. And now, Li Qingsong has completed this step directly on the planet's surface.
The next step is very simple.
This cargo box has already acquired a fairly high initial velocity. Next, it only needs to increase its speed slightly to break free from the gravitational field of the enemy planet.
By controlling the course and calculating the orbit, it can fly to Luoshen by itself!
Then, under the control of the traffic AI, several small thrusters automatically attached to the cargo box and automatically completed the calculation of a series of subsequent parameters.
This includes the current speed, coordinates, direction of the cargo box, as well as the position of Luoshen. Based on these data, it automatically calculates how much speed should be added to the cargo box, where to start accelerating, where to stop, to what power the thrusters should be started, and so on.
After all the calculations were completed, the thrusters ignited, adding a little more acceleration to the cargo box. The box then broke free from the gravitational field of the enemy planet and flew straight into the vast and deep space.
At this moment, its speed is only 950 meters per second. At this speed, it will take about 4000 years to cross the distance of more than 1.4 million kilometers to reach Luoshen, which is very long.
But...it doesn't matter!
Li Qingsong had already taken away the goods with high timeliness requirements by cargo ship, and they would arrive in more than a month.
There's no timeliness requirement for goods sent via this catapult. Li Qingsong can afford to wait 1.4 years!
