For the special environment of Rosene, rockets and spacecraft can be considered the same thing to some extent. It's just that one is disposable and the other is reusable and has more functions. But as for thrusters, don't they both burn methane and oxygen to generate high-temperature and high-pressure gas and eject it to obtain power? As the maneuverability of the spacecraft improves, the performance of the rocket will naturally improve as well. Like before, sending a probe to the earth requires a rocket with a mass of 70,000 tons. This will never happen again. In this case, it becomes inevitable to launch probes to each larger planet to comprehensively survey its resource reserves and prepare for the future. Although the human world at that time had made a comprehensive survey of every major celestial body, Li Qingsong did not have those data. We still have to be self-reliant. So, Li Qingsong quickly manufactured thousands of rockets and probes, transported them to the orbit around Luoshen, and ignited and launched them one by one like firecrackers. These rockets vary according to the mission objectives, but the largest one has a total mass of no more than 2,000 tons, which is tiny compared to the super-giant rocket. Of course, even if the propulsion technology is improved, it is impossible to achieve such a big gap. The most important thing is that Li Qingsong is not so anxious about the timeliness at the moment. These probes do not need to be so anxious to reach the target, and can fly over slowly.
In this way, a rocket with a mass not exceeding 2,000 tons will be sufficient. As a result, more than a thousand probes followed different orbits and headed for the distant deep space. Among these detectors, some are relay communication detectors. They will orbit the sun in different orbits, providing communication relay services for the rest of the satellites. Another part of the satellite is the probe. Some of them will reach the eight planets and orbit them, while others will aim at the satellites of the major planets and some dwarf planets. For example, Europa, Titan, Ceres, Vesta, Pluto, Triton, the Moon, etc. They will fly in the vast space for more than 20 years before reaching their final destination. After finishing this task, Li Qingsong no longer paid attention to the follow-up and just waited. His attention was once again focused on the most important matter at the moment. Large-scale development of the enemy planet. With the rapid advancement of science and technology in this period, except for some resources with higher reserves, such as iron ore and aluminum ore, which are still abundant, the reserves of many remaining resources have become increasingly smaller and it has become increasingly difficult to mine. For example, rare earth elements, copper ore, dry ice ore, etc. We must immediately start obtaining resources from the enemy planet. "Then... Jade Emperor! It's your turn!" At this moment, in the No. 1 supercomputer that Li Qingsong values most, the Jade Emperor AI has been continuously fed and trained for several years, and has undergone experimental tests, and has achieved results that Li Qingsong is relatively satisfied with. In that case, the Luoshen Star base cluster will be temporarily handed over to you! Li Qingsong once again prepared a huge fleet. The total size of this fleet reached more than 1,500 spacecraft.
Except for 400 Mercury-class battleships, the remaining 1,100 spaceships are all cargo ships. They are loaded with various machines, equipment, the energy needed in the initial stage, and most importantly, clones. On average, one cargo ship can transport 3,000 clones. 1,100 ships means million clones! It’s a bit crowded, but it doesn’t matter. The clones won’t complain or express dissatisfaction. Li Qingsong's consciousness is now in the head of one of the million clones. Yes, this time, Li Qingsong will personally lead the expedition! He must complete the large-scale industrial construction of the enemy star in the shortest possible time, and then leave a certain number of clones there, and then hand over the entire base to the Jade Emperor for management. During the time that he was away, Luoshen Star was also managed by the Jade Emperor, which could be regarded as a comprehensive inspection of it. Amid the roar of countless engines, the huge fleet slowly broke free from the gravitational field of Rosene and flew into the vast space. At the beginning, the communication delay between Li Qingsong and the clone was very low, achieving an effect close to real-time control. But as the distance increases, the communication delay becomes higher. Therefore, the production model envisioned by Li Qingsong entered the stage of actual verification. The basic operations of the entire Luoshen Star base cluster are all managed by the Jade Emperor. The millions of clones that remained there all became supervisors, maintainers and decision makers. They sat in the huge control room, observing every change in the data, judging the overall operating conditions, and under the control of Li Qingsong, thinking about what these changes meant and whether there was a failure. The connection between them and Li Qingsong is no longer real-time. Often, a new situation takes tens of seconds or even minutes to be transmitted to Li Qingsong's mind and then get new feedback. But that’s okay; these decisions don’t need to be made immediately, and a delay of a few minutes is acceptable. Even for the maintenance work of certain equipment, the real-time requirements are not too high. At most, an action will be paused for a few seconds or tens of seconds, and you can just think of it as remotely controlling the robot to do its work. Overall, the operation of the entire Luoshen base cluster is still stable. Under the control of the Jade Emperor AI, trains are still running, factories are still roaring, and planting and animal husbandry bases are still producing large amounts of food. Even the scientific research clones did not stop working. There was just some delay in the communication between them. Once an idea was born in the mind of one clone, it would take several minutes for it to be synchronized to the minds of other clones. Because of these delays, the overall efficiency of the base has undoubtedly been greatly reduced, and some more complex tasks cannot be done for the time being - after all, the Jade Emperor AI is not a true artificial intelligence, and its capabilities are still relatively limited. But it doesn’t matter. At this stage, Li Qingsong doesn’t have such high requirements for the Jade Emperor AI. As long as it can handle some basic production tasks in the future, it will be enough. I will do the rest myself. Time passed quietly, and driven by the new thrusters, this huge fleet took only four months to reach the orbit of Enemy Star again. Looking at the numerous wreckages and fragments that still existed in the nearby space, and the devastated land of the enemy star, Li Qingsong felt filled with pride. "Can the so-called development of your Bluetuk civilization be called development?
Now, I will show you what real planetary development looks like!"
