After thousands of years of fleeing, Tom was already weary.
Previously, he had painstakingly planned and successfully broken through to beco a Strong Nuclear Civilization, then carried Flying Star to begin his escape. During the long voyage, he gradually researched Strong Nuclear level technology, finally elevating his technological level and combat power to a considerable height.
In recent years, within this Lyra G16 Solar System, a great battle with the Havilah Civilization ensued, and he defeated the Havilah Civilization, which had transford into the strongest at the sa technological level, on the front lines. This had truly proven his current strength.
At this mont, there was still so ti for him to continue developing technology. The nurous wreckage of warships from the Havilah Civilization could also be used for reverse engineering, accelerating technological developnt to a certain extent.
Since that was the case... then within this Lyra G16 Solar System, he would go all out, develop with all his might, and then engage in a life-or-death showdown with the chanical Disaster. Either you die, or I die!
If you don’t co, so be it. But if you do co, only one will ultimately leave this solar system!
Tom had truly made up his mind.
At this mont, the great battle had subsided, and the Lyra G16 Solar System finally returned to peace. Tom, with his astonishing 3.5 billion consciousness links, went all out, controlling his 3.5 billion clones, which were maintained at that number at all tis, to begin technology research and developnt.
Propulsion, radar, super-long-range communication, quantum mathematics, basic physics, applied physics, chemical industry, biotechnology, material technology, energy shield technology, fusion technology...
And so on, the entire industrial system, the entire scientific system, whether it was at the basic or applied level, all began research, not a single one left out!
At the sa ti, Tom did not forget to carry out large-scale production of clones.
The Unified Force Field, a unique attack thod belonging only to him, was his greatest trump card at this stage and must be strengthened with all his might.
Based on its unique mode, where each attack would consu a large number of clones, he had to stockpile enough clones.
Tom’s plan was to increase the number of clones under his command again, raising it to 10 billion!
Only 5 billion clones were in regular use, while the remaining 5 billion clones would simply consu resources without contributing, requiring other clones to care for them, wasting resources?
No problem, just let them go into hibernation. This way, he would only need to dispatch a small number—no more than 10 million clones—to complete all work related to clone hibernation, such as caring for them, producing minerals and energy, and maintaining equipnt operation.
It wasn’t that Tom couldn’t stockpile more clones, but rather that doing so would be aningless.
Limited by his maximum consciousness link count of 3.5 billion, Tom could at most deploy 3.5 billion clones for a single Unified Force Field attack.
However, there was no upper limit to the number of related Unified Force Field equipnt.
After eting the minimum requirent, which was approximately 1 billion units of Unified Force Field related equipnt, beyond that number, the more equipnt there was, the greater the energy that could be released, the higher the detection accuracy, the higher the prediction accuracy, and ultimately, the greater the lethality.
This chanism determined that no matter how many Unified Force Field related devices Tom stockpiled, they would all be used up at once when a real attack was launched.
The reason was simple: better to break one finger than injure ten. Instead of damaging a hundred thousand warships, it’s better to destroy ten thousand.
Tom could not divide his stockpiled Unified Force Field related equipnt into two batches for two separate attacks. In that case, the power of each attack might be insufficient, and ultimately no battle results would be achieved.
Either don’t activate it, or if you do, launch the strongest attack within your capabilities! This is where the strategic significance of the Unified Force Field lies.
Furthermore, the complexity and precision requirents of Unified Force Field related equipnt are extrely high. Even with Tom’s industrial strength, he could not mass-produce them in a short period. All these factors combined ultimately led to the situation where the Unified Force Field could only be used once per war.
Since it could only be used once, stockpiling too many clones beca aningless.
In addition to the regularly used clones, stockpiling 3.5 billion specifically for Unified Force Field attacks, and another 1.5 billion for replenishing the regular clones, would total 10 billion.
At this mont, Tom was simultaneously conducting technology research and developnt, stockpiling clones, and stockpiling Unified Force Field related equipnt. In addition to these three aspects, he was also carrying out another crucial task.
In the previous war with the Havilah Civilization, Goku AI only perford at a conventional level. Its performance, while acceptable, was just diocre.
This was unacceptable to Tom.
Facing a powerful opponent like the chanical Disaster, he had to elevate every aspect of himself to the maximum possible extent to have any hope of victory.
Since that was the case, it was ti to do what had been delayed for so long.
Conduct live-fire drills and train Goku AI!
Thus, the space that had originally returned to peace once again ignited with roaring gunfire. On average, thousands of unmanned warships were destroyed every day.
And besides unmanned warships, the consumption of unmanned combat facilities such as interstellar turrets, mines, missiles, shells, satellites, and probes soared to a level that would astound an ordinary Strong Nuclear Civilization.
Tom, without any scruples or hesitation, unleashed his imnse industrial manufacturing capability, going all out to supply the consumption of live-fire drills, and wholeheartedly nurturing Goku AI, allowing it to grow rapidly.
Ti quietly slipped away amidst Tom’s busy schedule, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.
During this period, the stellar activity of Lyra G16 had maintained that biotrically marked pattern.
But because it hadn’t caused him any other trouble, Tom hadn’t paid attention to it.
Until today, when a high-energy laser beam, whose origin was unknown, suddenly struck one of Tom’s warships.
This warship was stationed around the star, used to prevent the Electromagnetic Disaster from leaving the star and causing him trouble again.
This laser beam imdiately alerted Tom.
Because throughout all his current combat forces, no laser beam was fired in that direction.
Furthermore, this laser beam ca from the direction of the star.
Tom’s first reaction was that the Electromagnetic Disaster creatures were causing trouble again.
But the next mont, Tom realized that this was not fired by the Electromagnetic Disaster creatures.
Typically, laser beams cannot travel too far because they expand rapidly with increasing distance, leading to a decay in energy per unit.
And his detection equipnt had not detected any Disaster Creatures approaching. At the sa ti, the type of this laser was also different from the lasers previously fired by the Disaster Creatures.
Its energy was higher, its lethality stronger, and its radiation type was more chaotic.
It wasn’t fired by him, it wasn’t fired by the Disaster Creatures, so... who could it be?
Tom’s heart instantly grew heavy.
