True interstellar voyage is different from the voyage from Luoshen to Jupiter that Li Qingsong had previously carried out. The two are simply incomparable, just like an ordinary person visiting a neighbor on Earth compared to traveling to Mars on a spacecraft, or even more exaggerated than that. Even at the peak of human civilization, this feat had never been accomplished. Now, Li Qingsong had to complete this great journey on his own. At this moment, Li Qingsong has already determined his migration destination. Altair. That’s right, it is the Altair that holds an extremely important position in human culture. The real Altair is a huge star with a mass about times that of the Sun, a radius about times that of the Sun, a brightness ten times that of the Sun, and a surface temperature of about 7000 degrees Celsius. Its distance from the sun is about light years, which is about 158 trillion kilometers, more than 10,000 times the distance from Luoshen to Jupiter. The reason why Altair was chosen as the end point of this migration is that Li Qingsong has confirmed through observation that there is a huge gas planet and two rocky planets on Altair. In addition, there is a huge debris disk and an asteroid belt, which is likely to contain many dwarf planets.
Gaseous planets can be used as a collection site for deuterium fuel, and rocky planets can be used as a source of various mineral resources. In this way, Altair has the foundation to quickly collect various materials. There is another reason. That is that Altair is located far away from the Gliese 625 star system. Fleeing there can get further away from the intelligent machine disaster and reduce the possibility of being discovered by it. Moreover, the distance to Altair is relatively suitable, neither too close nor too far, which is just right for Li Qingsong to use as a practice for his first interstellar navigation. Of course, Altair was just a transit station chosen by Li Qingsong. After collecting all kinds of materials there at the fastest speed, Li Qingsong would start interstellar navigation again until he was completely free from the threat of the artificial intelligence disaster. Once the migration target was determined, large-scale construction began. This time, Li Qingsong’s construction goal was very clear. Build spaceships, build big spaceships, build spaceships big enough for interstellar travel! As a result, the original aerospace carrier was far from enough. Even for Li Qingsong, the Bluetuk aerospace carrier was a bit too small. The industrial strength of the Blueprint civilization is limited. During migration, they can only carry the minimum resources needed and are unable to carry out any scientific research activities. But I am different! Not to mention conducting large-scale scientific experiments and research during the voyage, at least you should be able to conduct research with low resource consumption, right? Li Qingsong couldn't accept wasting time on sailing without doing any scientific research. So Li Qingsong designed a new super-giant aerospace mothership. The shape of this aerospace mothership is derived from the original design, but it is more complex and larger. Overall, it is a rectangular box-like structure with 50 thick longitudinal axes on each plane, which are used to support the overall structure, serve as internal passages, and maintain a living environment. The 50 vertical axes intersect with the 50 horizontal axes, creating 2,500 small squares, like mesh boxes. But this is just one layer. Li Qingsong designed this aerospace mothership with 10 layers, so the number of "cages" inside reached 25,000. It is 6 kilometers long and wide, and 600 meters high. Roughly speaking, its internal volume is about 18 cubic kilometers. In those net cages, warships, passenger ships, industrial ships and other spacecraft can be hung, as well as supply boxes, life support capsules, etc. Various living capsules, hibernation rooms, factory modules, production lines, etc. can be hung. They have a wide range of uses.
It is equipped with a total of 5,000 high-speed ion thrusters, which are distributed not only at the stern but also in large numbers throughout the spacecraft. These thrusters are driven by a total of 100 large nuclear fusion reactors that are also distributed throughout the spacecraft. With so many reactors and thrusters, it can carry a mass of up to 300 million tons while flying in space, and it can also easily change its attitude and direction during the flight. Li Qingsong plans to build 500 such huge aerospace motherships! In addition to the most important aerospace mothership, Li Qingsong also plans to build more than 1,000 heavy transport ships with a single full load mass of 20 million tons. These heavy transport ships are not only a supplement to material transportation, but can also transport large quantities of materials. Secondly, they are smaller in size and more flexible than aerospace carriers. Another important construction category is battleships. After digesting and absorbing the technology of the Bluetuk civilization, Li Qingsong's battleship-related technology also made rapid progress. In this case, it is necessary to fully upgrade the battleship system. The universe is not peaceful. Li Qingsong doesn't want to encounter the enemy and have no warships available. The manufacturing scale of the latest warships will be larger than the fleet owned by Li Qingsong. Li Qingsong plans to build 1,000 large battleships, even those like Earth-class battleships. After that, there are 50,000 Venus-class battleships, and 600,000 Mercury-class battleships, the smallest of all! In addition, there are more than 5 million unmanned warships, more than 10,000 interstellar artillery batteries, more than 10 million satellites of various types, as well as interstellar missiles, interstellar mines, and so on. Just for the Mercury-class battleships, Li Qingsong would need 10 aerospace motherships to accommodate them. Including the Venus-class and Earth-class, as well as various unmanned combat equipment, as well as the supplies and fuel to support these combat forces, the number of aerospace carriers needed is as high as 100! Building 100 super-giant aerospace carriers specifically for transporting warships and combat supplies is something that people in the blueprint cannot imagine. Momorans was extremely amazed by this, and even very loyally advised Li Qingsong not to do this, claiming that it would be a waste of transportation capacity. Li Qingsong scoffed at this. Have you forgotten how your Bluetuk civilization was defeated in the first place? Wasn't one of the important reasons the long-distance interstellar voyage and insufficient supplies? How could I make the same mistake you made? On this interstellar voyage, Li Qingsong plans to carry a total of 5 billion clones. Among them, 4 billion clones will be in hibernation for a long time, and the remaining 1 billion clones will always remain awake. There are fewer industrial production tasks during the voyage, and Li Qingsong plans to devote at least 800 million of the 1 billion clones to scientific research that consumes less resources.
