The only question now is how closely the simulation fits reality. Can excellence in the simulation world be truly transformed into excellence in the real world?
"I don't expect to fully realize the simulation results and really double the maximum number of consciousness connections to 20 million. 15 million is enough."
Li Qingsong thought silently: "15 million will satisfy me."
At this moment, human embryos produced using this gene editing program have been placed in culture tanks, and the answer will be revealed in half a year.
Just half a year passed quickly.
At this moment, more than 30 years have passed since Li Qingsong came to the Jupiter system. At this time, a new batch of 1,000 clones were quickly born.
Li Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief: "The fact that it was born successfully instead of developing into a freak at least means that the overall direction of this plan is correct."
Li Qingsong's consciousness was immediately transferred to one of the clones.
The next moment, Li Qingsong widened his eyes in shock.
What's happening?!
He felt that the number of his consciousness connections did not increase to 15 million, nor was it 20 million as shown in the simulation results.
But... one hundred million!
Damn, this Nuwa AI is so wrong, isn’t it?
The result of AI simulation was indeed wrong, with an error of up to 400%. But what Li Qingsong could never have imagined was that this error was not a bad error, but a good error!
This, this...
In an instant, something that had not happened for a long time, the consciousness of all the clones were connected in an instant, but there were still a large number of connections, resulting in a "empty" feeling that swept through Li Qingsong's entire mind, making him stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Is this 100 million? Is this over 100 million?
I originally prepared 30 million clones, thinking that would be enough, but now there is such a huge shortfall?
This instantly disrupted all of Li Qingsong's previous arrangements and plans.
Originally, Li Qingsong had built a very large-scale clone breeding factory. Each batch could breed 500,000 clones, which means an annual output of 1 million. He originally thought that it would be enough, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.
To build a larger clone breeding factory, the scale must be expanded at least ten times from the current level!
No, ten times is not enough!
The maximum number of connections is 100 million, so he must have about 200 million clones under his command to ensure the rest time of each clone and to be used as substitutes in case of accidents.
Even if the current production capacity is expanded tenfold, it would only produce 10 million clones per year, which would take 20 years of full-capacity production.
Li Qingsong doesn't have that much time to wait.
In this case, the existing cloning production capacity must be increased by at least 30 times, reaching an annual output of 30 million clones, which would be barely sufficient.
To produce 30 million clones per year, what a huge clone breeding factory would be needed, what a huge culture fluid preparation factory and auxiliary factories such as power plants, equipment maintenance plants, etc.
Also, the number of clones skyrocketed to 200 million in a short period of time, and the rest of the facilities had to keep up.
The most direct issue is food. The scale of our own planting, breeding and aquaculture bases must be expanded at least six times from the current level.
For example, the production of space suits in bedding factories must keep up, right? As for daily necessities, underwear, coats, hats, towels, quilts, cups, tableware, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. must also keep up, right?
The construction of the dormitory area should keep up, right? There is no need to think about letting the clones live in family buildings, but at least we should ensure that each clone has a bed, right?
As the number of clones increases, the demand for transportation increases. Will the number of buses increase? Will the railway lines be expanded? Will the number of passenger spacecraft increase?
Besides, so many clones require enough jobs so that they can produce enough materials to supply scientific research development, so all kinds of factories have to be built, right?
The scale of the scientific research base should be expanded, right? The number of scientific research facilities should be increased, right?
In just a moment, a construction demand so huge that it made him feel a little scared appeared in Li Qingsong's mind.
"This, this is really a happy trouble. Let's start with the most urgent construction needs, and build a clone breeding factory and its subsidiary factories, as well as a food base."
The existing breeding factory, which produces 1 million clones annually, together with its affiliated factories, covers an area of 100 square kilometers.
Now, even if the technology is further improved and the production capacity is higher, the area will still have to be expanded to at least 2,000 square kilometers to reach the level of producing 30 million clones per year.
The existing comprehensive agricultural base covers an area of about 300 square kilometers.
Li Qingsong had thought that such a large base could at least last for dozens or hundreds of years. But he didn't expect that it would collapse after just over a decade.
I also need to build six more agricultural comprehensive bases of the same scale.
However, such a large-scale construction also requires sufficient material support.
Fortunately, he now has 30 million clones in his hands. If he puts them all into various mines and factories immediately, they can barely support the resource needs of these constructions.
Thus, under Li Qingsong's manipulation, 30 million clones were plunged into unprecedented busy work.
In space, numerous cargo ships from dozens of satellites and Jupiter's rings shuttle back and forth, and countless supplies enter or leave the four large satellites through four space elevators;
Fuel production plants, supported by the electricity from nuclear fission power plants, do their best to produce liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, methane and other fuels, which are either supplied to large and small spacecraft, eventually turning them into hot gases that erupt into the boundless interstellar space and disappear, or supplied to various vehicles, turning them into exhaust gases that erupt into the atmosphere;
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of heavy intelligent machines, under the control of the "divine craftsmanship" AI and maintained by a large number of clones, gallop across the desolate land day and night.
For a time, Li Qingsong even put aside the most important task of researching the miniaturization technology of nuclear fission thrusters, and devoted all his efforts to the construction without reservation.
In the first year, the first phase of the clone breeding factory was put into operation, and 5 million cloned embryos began to be cultivated;
In the second year, the total number of clones under Li Qingsong increased to 41 million. The second phase of the clone breeding factory was put into operation, and another 15 million cloned embryos began to be cultivated. At the same time, three comprehensive grain bases were completed, and various crops, livestock, aquatic fish, fruits, cotton, etc. began to be cultivated.
By the third year, this crucial clone breeding factory and the newly built comprehensive grain base were finally completed, solving the urgent problem.
At this moment, the number of clones under Li Qingsong's command skyrocketed to 110 million.
