Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 310: Surge of Consciousness

The Flying Star from the Mechanical Disaster had a radius of only 100 kilometers.

The difference between 100 kilometers and 150 kilometers may seem small, but at the same density, the total mass of this Flying Star at this moment is nearly 3.4 times the mass of the Mechanical Disaster’s Flying Star.

Its total mass reaches 5,660 trillion tons, while the total mass of the Earth’s atmosphere is only about 5,150 trillion tons.

The Earth’s atmosphere, weighing 5,150 trillion tons, creates wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, protecting all life. At this moment, Tom has packed up an amount of mass equivalent to more than an entire atmosphere, intending to use it as "rations" for his journey.

This enormous "planet" has an orbital speed of 50 meters per second and an escape velocity of 71 meters per second. Anything moving below this speed will be trapped by its gravity and never be able to escape.

The pressure at its core due to its own mass is five times that of Earth’s atmosphere. If a human who had not undergone genetic modification were to arrive, they would probably be crushed to death immediately.

At this moment, all preparations have been completed.

After destroying all traces of himself here, Tom took one last deep look at the solar system he had briefly stayed in before quickly departing, and then embarked on his journey once more.

The course is 16 degrees off from the direction of the Galactic Core, which is the direction of the Purple Moon Civilization.

Tom wasn’t sure if he could catch up with the Purple Moon Civilization. After all, so much time had passed; in that time, the Purple Moon Civilization’s main fleet could very well have changed course.

But Tom knew that even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he had to do it.

Of course, with this Flying Star along the way, their technological research and development work will not be affected.

The stars behind them gradually dimmed, and the massive fleet once again entered the vast expanse of space.

Several years have passed, and the fleet has completed its acceleration, now maintaining a constant speed of 55% of the speed of light.

The speed has increased compared to before, because I have absorbed some of the Havilah and Mechanical Disaster technology. The increase is not significant, because I have only completed a small part of the absorption process.

With Tom’s current technological research and development capabilities, such a vast amount of scientific and technological data, as numerous as the starry sky, would be impossible to absorb in less than several hundred or even a thousand years.

But that’s alright, the journey is long, I have plenty of time to study it slowly.

Once the fleet entered inertial navigation mode, Tom immediately immersed himself in the task of studying, digesting, and absorbing the technological data.

Bluetoth and Viller People have also fully joined this effort.

As for the 19 rescued races, they haven’t yet been able to participate due to their prolonged enslavement. However, that’s alright; supporting them for now won’t consume many resources, and Tom has time to wait for them to grow stronger.

More than a century has passed quietly, and Tom has finally ushered in his first technological breakthrough.

Even Tom himself was somewhat surprised that the first major breakthrough was in biotechnology.

Although the Viller People and Black Mountain People have different physical structures than humans, they are ultimately carbon-based organisms, composed of cells, which are made up of microscopic particles, and based on the same chemical reactions and physical laws.

It’s impossible to say that stomach acid can digest food in humans but not in Black Mountain People.

Based on these similarities, Tom developed a more optimized genetic modification scheme. After cultivating a new batch of clones, Tom couldn’t wait to transfer his consciousness there, and immediately discovered that his maximum number of consciousness connections had increased dramatically once again.

Even if all 5 billion clones who are still conscious are included in the consciousness link, the limit has not yet been reached.

Having no other choice, Tom had to awaken some of the hibernating clones. It wasn’t until the number of clones increased to 7.969 billion that Tom felt the limit had been reached.

"This is just the first batch of new clones. As the number increases in the future, the maximum number of consciousness connections will also increase, and it is estimated that it will eventually reach a little over 8 billion."

Tom was filled with joy.

From 3.5 billion to 8 billion now, it has more than doubled!

Reaching a maximum number of consciousness connections of 8 billion means that the number of commonly used clones needs to reach 12 billion. Including the reserve clones, the total number of clones under one’s command needs to be increased to about 30 billion to be sufficient.

Currently, Tom only has 10 billion clones under his control, leaving a shortfall of 20 billion.

But it’s okay, with this Flying Star here, the supplies are plentiful, so let’s build it! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

With a maximum number of 8 billion consciousness connections, the speed at which one digests and absorbs technology will increase dramatically. Tasks that would have taken 1,000 years to complete could now be accomplished in just three or four hundred years.

Furthermore, future technological research and development capabilities will also see a significant surge.

Furthermore, increasing the maximum number of consciousness connections to 8 billion means that when using the Unified Force Field again, one can simultaneously manipulate 8 billion clones to contribute their biological intelligence.

Imagine the sheer volume of biological intelligence contributed by 8 billion clones, and what if that intelligence were applied to the Unified Force Field...

How much will its prediction accuracy improve, and how much will its power increase?

Tom is full of anticipation for this.

After the maximum number of consciousness connections surged again, Tom immediately accelerated the pace of his various tasks.

In just 50 years, the complete source code analysis, data analysis, and comprehensive reconstruction of AIs such as Goku, Poseidon, etc were completed.

This time, Tom does not intend to categorize AI according to industry, but instead plans to learn from the Black Mountain Civilization model and integrate all AI into one.

One AI can handle everything.

At this moment, this new AI system, which is based on Tom’s original AI system and incorporates Akakenu AI and Havilah Civilization’s main AI, was ported to the supercomputing mothership that Tom built specifically for it.

This supercomputer mothership was converted from a giant aerospace carrier, and it has no facilities other than a nuclear fusion power plant and a supercomputing base.

Three aerospace carriers, carrying fusion fuel and backup facilities, will serve as its supply ships and exclusively serve it.

More than 1,000 nuclear fusion power plants started operating simultaneously, and tens of thousands of supercomputing bases entered full-power operation under this surging energy supply.

A calm, wise voice appeared in Tom’s ear.

"My esteemed master, I have recovered and am in good condition."

After checking the working status of this new AI, Tom immediately determined that its intelligence level had far surpassed that of Akakenu AI.

Compared to its previous AI system, the performance has increased by more than ten times!

"Very good, very good. Let me give you a name first. Hmm... from now on you will be called, Primal!"
