Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 96 Set sail!

The clone where Li Qingsong's consciousness resides is now standing in the control room of an aerospace mothership, gazing at the galaxy outside the porthole.

In the vast space, dozens of huge aerospace motherships are neatly arranged there like dozens of shining stars.

"When I first arrived at Luoshen, I would never have imagined that one day I would be able to carry out such a great project."

50 aerospace motherships, carrying a total of about 4.5 million tons of cargo, are about to sail more than 150 billion kilometers from the depths of the distant starry sky to the inner solar system.

The cargo, totaling approximately 4.5 million tons, is of many types and names. If you count them carefully, there are probably tens of millions of them.

Among them, Li Qingsong brought more than ten sets of equipment for each industrial category, including complete sets of power plant facilities, complete sets of metallurgical equipment, complete sets of casting equipment, complete sets of mining equipment, and so on.

He didn't want to have to build a base from scratch after arriving in the inner solar system.

With these complete sets of industrial facilities, once we land on the planet, we will immediately have considerable industrial strength and embark on a path of rapid development.

This means that Li Qingsong needs to carry a lot of extremely heavy industrial facilities.

Their combined mass is as high as 1.1 million tons, occupying 370 grids and 13 aerospace carriers!
In addition to industrial facilities, the largest amount of supplies Li Qingsong carried was for supplies consumed during the voyage.

The total distance of this voyage is more than 160 billion kilometers, and it takes about 6 years.

During these six years, people need to eat and drink water, the various equipment on the spacecraft needs to operate, and the engine needs to provide thrust. How much supplies are needed?
Li Qingsong prepared 500 million tons of drinking water and domestic water alone, and more than 2000 million tons of water for machinery.

This is under the premise that water can be recycled.

Although secondary compression engines greatly save the use of chemical fuel, their use is still far too much compared to nuclear fuel.

Therefore, Li Qingsong had to carry more than 3000 million tons of methane, ethane, liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, etc.

There are 1500 million clones, and each clone weighs 75 kg, so the mass of the clones alone is more than 100 million tons.

Planting and breeding operations were not convenient during the voyage, but the clones needed to eat every day, so Li Qingsong could only bring a large amount of flour, rice, fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, fish and other foods.

Assuming that a clone needs to consume a total of 1.5 kg of food per day, 6 million clones in 1500 years will require about 5000 million tons of reserves.

But it was obvious that Li Qingsong couldn't just carry 5000 million tons. After all, even if he didn't consider any accidents, he still had to consider the initial consumption after arriving on the new planet.

In the first one or two years, I'm afraid I won't be able to produce much food.

So Li Qingsong had to bring a total of 8000 million tons of various foods.

In addition to these, there are a large number of spaceships that need to be taken away.

Dual-use aerospace spacecraft, combat spacecraft, special industrial spacecraft, exploration spacecraft, satellites, space telescopes, space antennas, various complex space devices, etc., together have a mass of tens of millions of tons.

This doesn't even include cargo ships. If a cargo ship weighs 10,000 tons empty, dozens of cargo ships would weigh hundreds of thousands of tons.

Because these cargo ships are equipped with secondary pressurization thrusters, they do not need to be carried by aerospace motherships and can fly there on their own.

It happened to be loaded with some supplies as a backup for emergencies. Besides that, it could also carry some clones to make the aerospace carrier less crowded.

In this way, the various types of materials added together almost filled up all 50 aerospace carriers.

At this moment, this huge fleet consisting of 50 aerospace motherships and 60 large cargo ships has assembled above Luoshen Star.

There was no longer a single clone on the vast Luoshen Planet. Like Enemy Star, the once prosperous Luoshen Planet was now mired in complete silence.

Looking down at Luoshen Star which had fallen into darkness again, Li Qingsong's heart was filled with emotion.

In his mind, there suddenly emerged a scene of himself arriving at Luoshen Star hundreds of years ago, with only a few clones under his command, struggling to survive there.

"Unknowingly, humans have been missing for hundreds of years.

Where on earth have you been? "

Li Qingsong remained silent.

"But, whether you are here or not, this solar system belongs to our human civilization.

I will never allow alien civilizations to occupy it.

The enemy is indeed powerful, so powerful that I can hardly stand up to it. But even if I fight with all my might, even if I have to fight to the last clone, I will never surrender.

Since I am the only human left in the solar system, I will protect our galaxy.

I hope to see you back one day. When that happens, I will give you back a solar system that is still peaceful and beautiful, and a Earth that is still vibrant, blue and magnificent...

Command...fire!"

Under Li Qingsong's gaze, thousands of interstellar missiles loaded with nuclear bombs flew out violently from the combat spacecraft.

They dragged long tails of flames and slammed into the dark and silent land of Luoshen Star like falling meteors. Then, in one fireball after another brighter than the sun, they wiped out all traces left by Li Qingsong, leaving nothing behind.

After that, Li Qingsong resolutely turned his head and looked in the direction of the sun.

set off!

From the tail of each giant cargo ship and each aerospace mothership, a total of more than a thousand bright and hot blue flames erupted, pushing each spacecraft to slowly accelerate.

Their speed increases very slowly, and every second that passes, their speed only increases by 1 centimeter.

But the increase in speed is extremely stable, unchanged and persistent.

So after accelerating for more than two hours and circling Luoshen several times, the fleet finally gained the speed to break free from Luoshen's gravitational field, was no longer bound by it, and began to move towards the vast deep space.

The entire fleet still maintained an acceleration of 0.01 meters per square second.

Gradually, a month passed, and the fleet's speed accelerated to about 27 kilometers per second, sailing a total distance of about 3600 million kilometers.

Neither Enemy Star nor Rosen Star can be seen at this distance.

The vast starry sky is surrounded by thousands of stars.

Li Qingsong felt as if he had entered a vast ocean of space and stars. This ocean was boundless, so vast that no matter how long he sailed, he could not sense any movement.

But with the help of the deep space communication network and its own positioning and navigation system, the huge fleet is still moving unswervingly in the predetermined direction.
