Time has come to the 23rd century, but the traditional concept that the Chinese people are inseparable from their homeland and return to their roots has not disappeared with the passage of time, but has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of some Chinese people.

It is precisely because of this traditional concept that when the Republic withdraws from the earth, more than 200 million people will not leave.

For the same reason, the manpower needed by China to colonize aliens has always been in a state of starvation, so it is forced to use clones to fill the population gap in Yunzhou Star Colony.

Although the military falsified the origin of these clones and claimed to the outside world that they were normal humans cultured by germ cells donated by volunteers, within the military, there are many officers and soldiers who know the truth of the clones, and even among the people there are plausible "rumors" circulating.

Speaking of the origin of the clones on those colony stars, there is a little-known story.

In order to get the stem cells needed for cloning, the military used some shady methods, and the largest source of stem cells was body donation volunteers, who filled out the donation form with an inconspicuous question: Do you agree to use your stem cells for cloning research?

The military has always kept all the donation documents safely, which can prove that all the clones on the colonial planet are clones authorized by the ontology, and it is precisely because of this document that the clones on Yunzhou Star and other colonial stars have been legally recognized overnight, and they no longer have to hide in the dark cracks, and they can obtain the citizenship of the republic in a dignified manner!

In this way, the military will be able to reasonably and legally bring the clones stranded in Yunzhou Star into the scope of the military's management.

The time when the forward fleet left Yunzhou Star was September 2216. At that time, only one-third of the clones chose to leave with the fleet, and the total number of clones on Yunzhou exceeded 100,000!

In other words, there are nearly 70,000 clones stranded in Yunzhou Star.

After the advance fleet left, the clones of Yunzhou Star did not choose to remain silent, but took active action, using the robots left by Ye Fei to dig a lot of space underground, all kinds of underground mineral deposits were excavated by the robots, and various metal ingots smelted and formed were piled up in the underground of Yunzhou Star.

Due to the difficulty of ground-built battleships to rise into the air, the clever clones did not build battleship factories underground, but only built a few small ship factories and several large underground aviation centers. Other than that, the same. It is to build hundreds of robot production lines and manufacture a large number of robots for storage and backup.

In the second half of 2217, the clones were finally convinced that the Atlanteans were no longer monitoring Yunzhou, and plans to build an orbital factory were on the agenda.

They opened the roof of the underground aviation center. Tens of thousands of robots poured onto the ground. It took less than half a month. On the Yunzhou Star Equator, six rail elevators have been built that lead directly to the sky.

After the orbital elevator was put into use, a steady stream of robots and various materials stored underground were sent into space, and a large number of robots worked together with precision. In less than a month, 15 open ribbed docks and supporting orbital equipment factories were built in the middle and high altitude orbit of Yunzhou satellite.

The so-called open ribbed dock is the simplest and easiest to build rail dock, which simply means that a pair of rib-like wrap-around telescopic booms are installed at intervals on a thick main beam up to five kilometers long, and a large number of robotic arms are installed on the boom with a circumference of several kilometers.

After the construction of the battleship officially began, the ship transported the raw materials to the dockyard's ribbed boom, where the robotic arm picked it up and sent it to the designated location for assembly.

The ribbed dock with a main beam of up to 15 kilometers is capable of building any type of active capital ship. The main beam is only a five-kilometer-long ribbed dock, and only small sub-ships such as assault ships can be built.

However, three five-kilometer-long ribbed docks can be docked together in front and rear to form a large fifteen-kilometer-long dock, which can be used for the construction of capital ships. Therefore, instead of building a large dock, the clones of Yunzhou Star built a more flexible medium-sized dock.

The supporting orbital factory is more important than the dockyard, where all the equipment on the battleship is assembled, the battleship's armor is also cast, and the gravity equipment is used for high-strength forging, and finally it is the turn of the dock to assemble.

Fifteen dockyards were the last of all the orbital factories to be completed, and immediately after their completion they were put into the construction of battleships.

In addition to the orbital factory outside Yunzhou Star, a large number of robots were sent by transport ships to other terrestrial planets and satellites in the Yunzhou Galaxy, the robots on the terrestrial planets were mainly responsible for mining and collecting resources, and the robots on the satellites used the low reuse of the satellites themselves to use the segmented shipbuilding method to build warships, and under the premise of a slight surplus in raw material supply, they started to build more than 20 Ares-class capital ships at one time!

The clones don't care about the future development of Yunzhou Star at all, and use the method of exhausting all the resources in the galaxy to ensure that the battleship is built as quickly as possible.

Due to the lack of necessary equipment and technology on Yunzhou Star, the self-produced God of War-class capital ship does not have a crystal engine, and can only use a force field engine to recharge, and its weapons and equipment are also a cut worse than the God of War class branded as a base star, but these difficulties cannot stop the clones from forging ahead!

The average age of the clones on Yunzhou was less than fifteen when they left the cultivation module at the end of 2214, and five years later in 2219, their average age was only nineteen.

Radical and passionate, the young clones spared no effort to defend their homeland, and in just two years, they built two batches of warships, a total of fifty-two warships.

After the fleet was formed, they only underwent a short period of adaptation training, and then drove the battleship to the Moro Star Domain, taking the initiative to trouble the Atlanteans.

Periande, who had just recovered from nothing, was once again devastated, and several colony stars that had been reopened soon were all sacked by the Yunzhou Star Independent Fleet, and then the Yunzhou Fleet launched a number of high-yield nuclear bombs on the surface of the planet, and the surface was completely crystallized under the action of high temperatures, and a thick layer of glass condensed at the bottom of the large crater that can be seen everywhere, and the good habitable planet turned into a barren land with no grass.

If it weren't for the slower speed of the warships of the Yunzhou fleet, and Periande's request for help and the fleet of the Atlantis Central Star Domain in time, I am afraid that Periande's old nest YM174 would be wiped out by the clones in one fell swoop!

The Yunzhou fleet was stuck in the rear of the Atlanteans like a nail, dragging a number of enemy ships numbering up to several thousand, and effectively supporting the frontal battlefield operations. (To be continued......)
