In the Iceman's space battleship, the information about the Iceman's society is not very complete, but the importance of population to an interstellar empire is mentioned in many places.

A large population base not only makes it easier to produce genius scientists on this basis and bring scientific and technological progress to society, but also plays a role in the rule of other civilizations in interstellar expansion.

Because when conquering other civilizations, if the population of the main civilization is too small, it may be assimilated by other civilizations during a long period of rule. Of course, it is also easier to be subverted.

This is somewhat similar to the development of ethnic groups on the earth, for example, the current Chinese nationality is a fusion of dozens of ethnic groups, and the main body is the Han nationality.

Once the rulers of the last dynasty were minorities, because their numbers were too small, they were eventually assimilated.

Li Chunfeng began to think about the current situation, he digested and absorbed the essence of human science and technology for hundreds of years, and then obtained great scientific and technological progress through his creativity, but his creativity will also dry up one day.

Therefore, you should take precautions and establish a corresponding human R&D team in advance in order to make up for your creativity.

Looking at the relevant information of the Iceman again, Li Chunfeng found that the Iceman, as a nitrogen-based intelligent life, evolved and grew up in an extremely harsh environment, and there was a problem that had plagued the Iceman for a long time.

That's the problem of low fecundity.

Fortunately, after the Iceman entered space, after thousands of years of development, while absorbing and fusing the technology of other civilizations, he finally perfected the cloning technology of the Iceman.

This truly solves the problem of the reproduction of the Iceman, allowing the Iceman Empire to rapidly expand from a few light-years to 20 light-years.

The cloning technology of the iceman is very advanced, not only has a short cycle, but also can achieve a certain degree of modulation of genes, so that a certain type of special elder can be obtained in batches.

The current human cloning technology on Earth is completely incomparable, not only the safety cannot be guaranteed, but also the cloning production technology is also very flawed, let alone genetic modulation.

For example, astronauts who need space fighters can be mass-produced according to the template, and such a cloned iceman can be made in only 60 Earth days, and then after 30 Earth days, he can become a skilled fighter pilot.

The most important thing is that such a clone can preset the concept of loyalty in the brain, and once betrayed, it will go insane.

Such technical indicators simply made biologists on the earth crazy, and when Li Chunfeng saw it, he was also ecstatic.

I just thought of building a human R&D team, and I got advanced and perfect cloning technology, which means that I can have a large number of loyal human helpers.

It's just a pity that, as a space cruiser, there is only a small amount of clone equipment here, which is used to supplement the general combat attrition.

As for the other cloning technical information, there is no such thing, and Li Chunfeng can only study the manufacturing method of the cloning equipment through the mind field.

From this, some theories can be deduced, but the iceman is a nitrogen-based life, which is very different from the carbon-based life of humans on the earth, so Li Chunfeng needs to make many improvements, and even redesign the corresponding links after abandoning them.

Overall, this technology has yet to be further studied, and it is not possible to create a qualified clone like the Iceman for the time being.

For the Iceman, with this technology, the population reached a staggering two hundred billion. However, as the territory expanded to 20 light years, the Iceman began to emphasize the problem of underpopulation again.

Every time he saw the population figures of the empire in the Iceman data, Li Chunfeng was a little dizzy, Huaxia only had a population of 1.4 billion, and the entire population of the earth was only 7 billion now.

At first, it was strange why the iceman emphasized the lack of population, but later Li Chunfeng saw a ratio and understood the reason, this ratio is that the size of the area controlled by the interstellar civilization and the population ratio are 1:100.

That is, to control a starfield of 1 light-year, it takes at least 10 billion people, and the Iceman now controls a starfield of 20 light-years, so there are 200 billion people.

But because of the wars with the Haight Federation in the last thousand years, the population is often below this number, which is obviously not good for the rule of the Icemen.

Although the Iceman's cloning technology is very advanced and the speed at which the population is created is fast, in an interstellar war, the human losses caused by a single battle are very staggering.

For example, such a space cruiser needs 50,000 crew members alone, most of them for weapons control, and some of them are marines, plus manpower for various other positions.

There are 4,000 space fighters on board, and each fighter is equipped with two astronauts, which is 8,000 people.

A space cruiser needs nearly 60,000 people, but a medium-scale interstellar battle between the Icemen and the Hait Federation needs 100,000 such warships, which means that in a medium-scale battle, the Icemen will need to dispatch six billion people.

And for thousands of years, there have been countless such medium-sized battles.

When Li Chunfeng saw these numbers from the main control computer, he was really shocked, and at the same time, he also deeply felt the insignificance and powerlessness of the earth.

Not to mention that a medium-sized space fleet came to the solar system, it was this space cruiser that could defeat all the countries of the earth.

Looking at the starry sky in the distance, Li Chunfeng made up his mind to step out of the solar system as quickly as possible, otherwise once it was discovered by other interstellar civilizations, the earth could only be enslaved.

It's like the Iceman enslaves the seven civilizations in his domination.

Within 20 light-years controlled by the Iceman, there are a total of seven civilizations, and only 2 civilizations have entered the age of technology, and only one of them is slightly higher than the technological level of the Earth civilization.

These seven civilizations, regardless of their level of technology, are brutally ruled by the Icemen, providing them with resources, labor, and even pets.

Yes, the intelligent creatures in two of these civilizations are very popular with the Iceman, and with the aesthetics of the Iceman, seeing these two intelligent creatures is like seeing cats and dogs on Earth.

Therefore, the intelligent creatures of these two civilizations tragically became the pets of the icemen.

With the experience of the previous car, coupled with the fact that the Iceman's space battleship has been continuously emitting quantum distress signals for two months, who knows if the Iceman's home planet will receive it?

Although I have checked the star map data in the space battleship, I have never been able to find out which direction of the earth the galaxy where the iceman is located, but from there you can jump in space, indicating that the distance cannot be too far.

If the home planet of the Iceman receives this distress signal and sends troops to come, then the earth will fall 100%.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng now has a strong sense of crisis in his heart, so he has not paid much attention to the "Defender" exercise recently held by the M Navy in the Indian Ocean.

At present, the most important thing is to get a good grasp of developing oneself and enhancing one's interstellar combat capability.

Previously, Li Chunfeng had converted 500 space fighters of the Iceman, because they were shaped like a half-moon, so they were named "Moon Blades".

The "Moon Blade" fighter is also a particle injection engine that uses metallic hydrogen energy, which is somewhat similar to Li Chunfeng's supermagnetic jet particle engine, but when it sprays particles, it does not use ultra-micro magnetic fields for particle acceleration like Li Chunfeng.

And because there is no anti-gravity engine, both speed and maneuverability are much worse than those of the "Tempest".

Its maximum speed is slower than that of the "Tempest", only 180 km/s, but after Li Chunfeng slightly modified its interior, it is very suitable for human driving and handling on Earth.

At that time, you can use the "Tempest" to fight with it with high and low, but it will still be eliminated in the end, maybe it can be cheaper and sold to the country at that time? It can be regarded as helping the country to develop greatly.

However, it seems that it is useless to ask for money, by the way, you can ask the state for a large number of various cell tissues and blood of the Chinese ethnic group, so as to facilitate the establishment of a Chinese gene bank, and once the human cloning technology is developed in the future, there can also be template production.

Today, more than 200 "Tornado" flying saucers have been produced, with eleven production lines, which seems to be a lot, but it is still not comparable to the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by a space cruiser of the Iceman.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng's desire to obtain a large number of resources is even stronger, because the moon is too close to the earth, and many countries are carrying out corresponding lunar landing programs at this time.

Mars is currently in the closest period to the Earth, and the space agency of country M has always been staring at Mars, where large-scale development is easy to expose.

In desperation, Li Chunfeng's eyes fell on another place with rich resources in the solar system, the asteroid belt.

Li Chunfeng landed the "Hurricane" into the upper apron of the "Han Signal". Here, one of his own simulated clones is already waiting here.

Li Chunfeng already planned to design a warship of the same size as this type of space cruiser, and named it the "Famous General Class", even if this one is the first one, named after "Han Xin", in the hope that he will be like Han Xin's more soldiers, the more good, to ask for praise, and build more warships of this type in the future.

Looking at the infinite starry sky, Li Chunfeng plans to spread many famous generals of China for 5,000 years in the Milky Way, and even to the galaxy beyond the river.

At present, the "Han Signal" is still undergoing renovation and construction in all aspects, and there are more than 200 "Lux" alone, because the intelligence of "Lux" is higher than that of the Iceman's quadruped robot and other bipedal robots.

Therefore, these 200 "wrestlers" actually play the role of foremen, leading the iceman's robots to work, and each "wrestler" manages 200 robots.

In the entire Iceman battleship, there are a total of 100,000 robots, and at present, in addition to the 60,000 robots filling the pits outside, the remaining 40,000 are busy in the battleship to transform and repair the energy circuit.

Once the repair and transformation is completed, the "Han Signal" will set sail for the asteroid belt, and it is estimated that the vanguard unit that departs today will initially complete the construction of the space base.

At this time, Li Chunfeng shifted his mind to the simulated clone waiting by the tarmac, and then quickly entered an iceman transport landing ship.

The landing ship has been filled with "Lux" and "Gopher", as well as a batch of smelting and production equipment, and of course, 10 super-magnetic smelting furnaces are indispensable for the processing and production of various materials.

There are also a number of "Hunter 2" and "Samurai 2", so you don't need to worry about any enemies, but it's better to be armed than unarmed.

This time, the establishment of a space base in the asteroid belt and the development of large-scale production and development can be described as the first time that human beings have landed in the asteroid belt on a large scale.

Of course, the real reason is that Li Chunfeng hopes to feel the mystery of space and the magical solar storm again through the simulation of the clone.

For this mission, Li Chunfeng has already done a lot of preparatory work, and has deployed a number of relay communication satellites through the "Hurricane" flying saucer, which takes into account both quantum communication and electromagnetic wave communication modes.

It not only ensures the timeliness of communication, but also ensures that Li Chunfeng can carry out the arrival of his ideas through these relay satellites.

At the same time, the "Tornado" flying saucer also flew to the asteroid belt several times, and released some exploration satellites to carry out survey missions in advance and lock on relevant asteroids with resources.

The transport landing ship has also been completely refitted for this purpose, and the main control computer has been replaced with a super magnetic quantum intelligent brain, so that the strong artificial intelligence "Hunter 2" can be deployed.

This "Hunter 2" strong artificial intelligence is now the most commonly used by Li Chunfeng, because its strain computing power is enough to adapt to various independent environmental applications.

As long as it belongs to different databases, it can be adapted to different positions or occupations.

For example, the brain behind the brain that has now become a transport landing ship, and the database attached to it is space flight and so on.

In addition to the intelligent brain, it is modified with the corresponding Thor engine and holographic visual stealth system, so that the transport landing ship can leave the earth silently.

For now, Li Chunfeng doesn't want his space operations to be exposed to the world too early.

Now, Li Chunfeng gave the order to take off with a little excitement.

Under the anti-gravitational output, the transport ship left the "Han signal" and continued to fly upward, flying out of the passage of the metal shield of the undersea city.

It then quickly flew out of the sea and continued to fly into the sky, surrounded by ten "Tempests" and ten "Moonblades", which were used for escort on the one hand, and some related tests in the asteroid belt on the other.

After passing through the atmosphere, the formation readjusted its course, and after flying past the Lagrange point, the target asteroid belt, the jet engine ignited and accelerated away.
