Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 262 - 5 Billion
At this stage, Tom was very clear in his heart that there was no rush to counterattack.
Because time was on his side.
Before capturing the Second Planet, time was on the opponent’s side. Therefore, he had to go all out and be fast at that time. Because once he was slow, he might fall into a situation where his ammunition and food were exhausted.
But with the capture of the Second Planet, the situation immediately reversed, and time came to his side.
As long as he could drag out the time, with every passing moment, his strength would increase a little.
In this situation, Tom was naturally not in a hurry.
The battle situation was dangerous? So what, as long as he could maintain it.
The time that needed to be delayed must be delayed, the longer the better.
Up until this moment, the number of clones under Tom’s command, due to his almost no-cost, full-effort production, finally recovered to 3 billion, on par with his previous peak.
But this was not the end. The frantic clone production was still ongoing.
The reason was simple: during his journey, Tom had achieved a breakthrough in biotechnology. His maximum consciousness connection count had already increased to over 3 billion.
As for the exact number, he hadn’t been able to test it at the time due to the limited number of clones.
Now, it was time to verify how much his maximum consciousness connection count had increased.
Time slowly passed. The situation on the space battlefield was precarious, but Tom was still going all out to produce clones.
It wasn’t until the number of clones increased to over 3.5 billion that Tom tested out his exact maximum consciousness connection count.
3.5112 billion
Compared to the 1.5 billion before the biotechnology breakthrough, this was more than double
And, accounting for the clones’ rest time, he would probably need about 5 billion clones to operate efficiently.
So... continue production
With one clone factory after another going into operation, and with batch after batch of clones leaving the factories, the number of clones under Tom’s command continued to climb rapidly.
At this moment, to supply the daily consumption of these clones, Tom had built tens of thousands of large food factories alone. The various supporting energy factories, chemical factories, and so on were countless.
It wasn’t until this moment that the number of clones under Tom’s command finally increased to 5 billion
At this moment, on this ravaged planet, the industrial system had been fully established.
It was not the industrial system adapted to a maximum connection count of 1.5 billion as before, but an industrial system adapted to the current maximum connection count of 3.5 billion, with a total of 5 billion clones under his command.
The scale and production efficiency of the two were incomparable.
At this moment, in the interstellar battlefield, facing the Havilah Civilization’s decades-long relentless assault, Tom had lost an unknown number of warships and an unknown number of clones had died suddenly at their posts, barely holding on until today.
Even Tom himself had to admit that the combat power displayed by the Havilah Civilization after the fall of the Second Planet was somewhat beyond his expectations.
A civilization that was already relatively excellent, and now had undergone a spiritual baptism of its entire civilization, the ultimate combat power it erupted with, Tom even believed, was close to the limit of a legitimate intelligent civilization at the current technological level.
Regardless of body shape, regardless of social organizational structure, at the current technological level, it was almost impossible for any civilization to be stronger than the Havilah Civilization.
It was precisely because the Havilah Civilization had transformed to be so powerful that Tom had faced such difficulties over the years.
But all of this... it was time for it to end.
Because my industrial system has been completely established, my clone count has increased to 5 billion, because I have made complete war preparations
Now, it’s time to let you witness the war strength of a fully developed Clone Disaster.
At this time, in addition to the existing clone factories still producing, Tom no longer continued to build clone factories, but instead put all the clones he could control at the moment, plus the power of the Bluetoth, into one place.
Industrial production
So at this moment, those already built but always unable to go into production due to lack of manpower—mines, factories, power plants, food factories, foundries, and all other factories—instantly welcomed a surge of clone crowds. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Large numbers of clones left the clone factories, riding on trains, riding large fixed-wing aircraft, like water flowing from a water tower to thousands of households, entering the control rooms of every factory, sitting at their workstations, and under Tom’s unified control, applied their intelligence to the real world through intelligent machinery, general and specialized robots, and other production terminals.
At this moment, Tom’s various industrial production capabilities instantly surged.
The raw material output of hundreds of thousands of mines surged by nearly a hundredfold, resource allocation and transportation capacity surged by a hundredfold, basic metal output, casting and processing capacity, chemical production capacity, chips, precision parts, and so on—all industrial products instantly surged.
All this production ultimately reflected in the output of the final products.
At this moment, what were Tom’s final products?
Obviously, they were spacecraft! They were space mines! They were interstellar missiles! They were satellites! They were turrets!
Thus, the number of these final products also surged instantly.
On average, every day, Tom produced over a thousand new Mercury-class battleships, tens of billions of space mines, millions of satellites for various purposes, and hundreds of thousands of large, medium, and small, long-range, medium-range, and short-range missiles!
On average, every day, Tom could produce thousands of large interstellar turrets equipped with independent nuclear fusion power plants and high-power energy shields, allowing them to majestically float in space like fortresses.
On average, every day, Tom could produce over 5,000 large, medium, and small unmanned warships, and then hand them all over to Goku AI, allowing Goku AI to control them for autonomous combat.
In just one year, Tom replenished the interstellar battlefield with over 300,000 Mercury-class battleships, over 1 million unmanned warships, and countless other combat readiness facilities and supplies.
At this moment, the number of clones solely sitting in the combat control base, remotely controlling warships in battle, had climbed to over 50 million.
Tom also effortlessly allocated 500 million clones who did nothing else but specifically contribute their brainpower to tactical planning.
Thus, in the vast expanse of space, in just one year, the battlefield situation underwent a complete reversal.
After being suppressed for decades, and struggling for decades, the counterattack from Tom had begun.
