Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 90 1000!
Looking at the Bluetuk who had come looking for him, Li Qingsong controlled the clone and responded calmly, "Oh?"

The Bluetuk man's face was filled with awe, but what he was thinking in his heart, only God knew.

But Li Qingsong didn't care whether they truly obeyed him in their hearts. All I want is for you to contribute to my technological advancement. As for what you think in your heart, I don't care.

Anyway, if you make a contribution, you will be rewarded, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished. It's a very simple thing.

The Bluetuk man said nervously, "Specifically, the material properties and processing accuracy must be improved to a certain level.

The main reasons why it cannot be further reduced in size and its power cannot be further increased are these two.

But these two reasons obviously involve the progress of the entire scientific and technological system.

Only when the entire scientific and technological system advances can material properties and processing precision be improved, and the miniaturization of nuclear fission power plants be realized. Otherwise, it is impossible to achieve.

Really, it is impossible to achieve with the current level of technology. Dear Blue Star, I really did not deceive you, this is true..."

Li Qingsong's millions of brains thought at the same time for a moment.

He sighed softly in his heart and had to admit that what the Bluetuk man said was true.

I was too impatient before.

In that case, let's take it slow.

Patting the Bluetuk man's shoulder gently, the clone said coldly, "Your rest time will be increased by four days every month."

The Bluetuk man stood there in a daze, falling into uncontrollable ecstasy.

Since he had decided to take it slow, gradually develop various basic technologies, and wait for the miniaturization technology of nuclear fission power plants to emerge naturally, Li Qingsong evacuated all the extra clones from here, leaving only some of the original clones for routine optimization research work.

Time slowly slipped by. Seeing the mines on Enemy Star begin to dry up, and the number of containers shipped to Luoshen Star also began to decline, Li Qingsong became increasingly anxious, but he could only be patient, remain focused, and continue to promote the development of technology step by step.

It was under such circumstances that Li Qingsong finally received good news.

The research in the biological laboratory has made another breakthrough. A new gene optimization plan has been developed, and we can produce higher quality clones!

Li Qingsong didn't hesitate and immediately put it into practical application. Six months later, the first batch of higher-quality clones was born.

After comparing them, Li Qingsong finally chose the clone with the highest number of consciousness connections.

His maximum number of consciousness connections is 1002.5 million!
Compared with the previous 510 million, it has almost doubled again!
Li Qingsong was filled with excitement.

"If the maximum number of consciousness connections doubles, the research power I can devote to various disciplines will also double!
Materials science research and processing precision research do involve the advancement of the basic scientific and technological system, and there is really no shortcut to the advancement of the basic scientific and technological system. It can only be improved bit by bit through hard work.

In that case, I'll increase the number of water mills! Previously, there was only one water mill, but now there are two! Two water mills will definitely increase the speed! "Under Li Qingsong's control, approximately 500 million of the prepared clones were immediately connected by Li Qingsong, enriching the basic research capabilities of various disciplines.

At this moment, Li Qingsong has a total of about 1500 million clones under his command.

Based on the current maximum number of consciousness connections of about 1000 million, taking into account the time the clones need to rest, 1500 million clones is still quite tight to use.

But at this stage, the resources of Divine Star and Luoshen Star are about to be exhausted, and Li Qingsong does not plan to increase the number of clones.

No matter how many there are, firstly, the cultivation and maintenance of clones will consume a lot of resources, and secondly, they are temporarily useless.

At this stage, Li Qingsong has stopped all less urgent scientific research projects, such as the preliminary research on controlled nuclear fusion, the research on ion thrusters for which the foundation has been laid before, the preliminary research on quantum chips, and even the training and actual combat exercises of Wukong AI have been temporarily stopped. All scientific research efforts and resource consumption have been invested in the research tasks of improving the basic science system.

Everything is focused on realizing the miniaturization of nuclear fission reactors as soon as possible and mastering the secondary pressurization propulsion technology.

In this situation, all scientific research facilities are already full, and Li Qingsong has no plans to build new scientific research facilities. Naturally, the extra clones will be temporarily useless.

So, on Luoshen and Enemy, the clones went through a long period of rest - an average of about 16 hours a day, and then it became the current situation where they could only rest for an average of 9 hours a day, and the remaining 15 hours were all spent on work or thinking.

With the addition of the physical and mental strength of these clones, the progress of the basic scientific system has been accelerated at an almost tangible speed.

So, five years later, the two key disciplines that Li Qingsong had been thinking about and looking forward to, materials science and mechanical processing, finally achieved a breakthrough.

I can finally make materials with higher performance that can meet the requirements with smaller volume and mass!
Finally, we can improve the processing accuracy to meet the construction needs of parts!

So, after only three months, the latest modular nuclear fission reactor was finally presented to Li Qingsong.

The current modular reactor is only 28 meters long and wide, and 9 meters high. Its appearance is roughly similar to the first modular reactor, both of which look like engines.

Its total volume is only over 6000 cubic meters and its total mass is only about 1600 tons!
Both the volume and mass have been reduced to less than half!

But its power has increased to 2.5 kilowatts, 1.5 times higher than the previous generation!
It is fully qualified to be a ship engine.

Of course, this is limited to large cargo ships.

The total mass of a Venus-class battleship is only a few hundred tons, not as big or as heavy as it.

Compared with the onboard reactor in the Deep Space spacecraft, its performance is undoubtedly extremely backward.

But I built this with my own hands! I understand all the technical details and have complete technical skills!
In the future, I can continue to iterate and optimize it, making it smaller and smaller, but more powerful, until it is large enough to be installed in a warship. My combat effectiveness will surely achieve another huge leap.

But that’s for later.

Now that we have mastered the manufacturing technology of shipborne reactors, the next most critical step is to research and master the secondary pressurization propulsion technology, and then escape from the increasingly barren Luoshen and Enshen, and migrate to the inner solar system where resources are extremely rich and almost unlimited!
