Nearly a millennium had passed since he first broke through to Strong Nuclear Civilization.
During this period, he was either in a state of space escape or engaged in battles with other civilizations. From beginning to end, Tom never had a peaceful and stable environnt for developnt.
At this mont, with the complete resolution of the electromagnetic disaster, Tom could finally develop without any other interference, dedicating his full effort.
"Peaceful ti is so precious, there’s no room for a bit of waste..."
Muttering with emotion, Tom directed a total of 3.5 billion clones, all under consciousness linkage, into research-related tasks.
In space, massive transport ships once again appeared, shuttling back and forth between different planets. Unlike before, they no longer needed to be specially equipped with cumberso anti-laser facilities, nor did they need to frequently perform random maneuvers.
On each planet, space elevators rose from the ground, like blood vessels, connecting the "blood" circulation between different planets. Of course, they no longer needed to consider defending against external attacks, as there were no external threats in the Lyra G16 Solar System at this mont.
Factories, massive laboratories, huge energy plants, nuclear fusion power plants, chip factories, clone factories, and so on, converged like an enormous blanket, rapidly covering the desolate surface of the planets.
Inside various large scientific installations, countless clones rotated day and night, generating all kinds of technological data 24 hours a day.
In space, Tom’s fleet, under the control of tens of millions of clones, engaged in real life-and-death combat, with battleships constantly exploding and turning into wreckage.
Beyond the manned battleships, hundreds of millions of unmanned battleships, turrets, satellites, mines, missiles, and so on, under the control of Goku AI, engaged in even more brutal battles than the manned battlefield.
Typically, manned combat and unmanned combat would also be combined. In a single battlefield, there would be both the will of the clones and the will of Goku AI, making the forms of combat even more diverse.
Planetary offense and defense battles, planetary counterattacks, battles in the strong magnetic field environnt of gas giants, space encounters, dwarf planet skirmishes, near-stellar environnt encounters, and so on—Tom spared no effort in every environnt and every combat thod, deploying large forces for practical drills.
Under these circumstances, not only were Tom’s combat experience, skills, and insights rapidly improving, but Goku AI was also doing the sa.
Its intelligence level was also rapidly increasing.
The entire Lyra G16 Solar System was bustling, with cannons roaring and activity in full swing.
Under these circumstances, after more than a decade of continuous research, Tom finally ushered in his first truly significant technological breakthrough.
In terms of energy technology, Tom developed a new fusion mode based on the original protium fusion.
Protium plus deuterium-helium-3 combined fusion!
A certain stage of protium fusion would produce helium-3, and then helium-3 and helium-3 would continue to fuse, completing the entire fusion process.
But now, Tom actively intervened in this process. After protium fused into helium-3, instead of letting the helium-3 fuse with each other, he added deuterium, allowing helium-3 and deuterium to fuse.
This seemingly simple change in process, however, implied imnse technical difficulty.
The reason is simple: different elents require different fusion environnts. Tom had to develop a unified model that could simultaneously accommodate the fusion of different elents and organically combine them to improve energy utilization efficiency, thereby increasing the Q-value.
This placed extrely high demands on materials science, engineering, optics, high-energy physics, and other fields.
After lengthy research, Tom finally overca these technical challenges one by one, ultimately achieving the fruitful results seen today.
Originally, the mass-energy conversion efficiency of protium fusion was only about 0.7\%. But now, Tom directly increased the mass-energy conversion efficiency by about 40\%, reaching approximately 1\%!
What previously required carrying 100 kg of fuel could now be accomplished by Tom with only 70 kg of fuel.
This not only ant that the overall fleet speed could be further increased during future interstellar voyages, but also that even within the Lyra G16 Solar System, the endurance of each spaceship would be significantly extended.
The average resupply ti for battleships in the space battlefield could also be greatly extended, which not only reduced logistical pressure but also enhanced combat power!
If your battleship needs to return for resupply after 5 hours of combat, while mine can fight for 7 hours before needing to resupply, it’s clear who has the higher combat power.
After a comprehensive overhaul of energy technology, Tom also saw significant advancents in Stellar Communication Technology.
With the establishnt of nurous quantum supercomputing bases, Tom’s research in the field of mathematics progressed by leaps and bounds, and highly abstract disciplines like quantum mathematics also made great strides.
Coupled with the technological improvents in quantum modulation equipnt, Tom’s quantum analysis capabilities significantly increased.
Originally, the limit of quantum Stellar Communication was around 1 billion kiloters, and with relays, it could at most extend to 10 billion kiloters.
But now, Tom’s newly developed Stellar Communication equipnt has increased its one-way communication limit by 60\%, reaching 1.6 billion kiloters, and the relay noise reduction technology has also greatly improved. He can now perform 12 relays, bringing the maximum communication distance to 19.2 billion kiloters, almost doubling it!
The increase in communication distance ant a significant increase in Tom’s battlefield control.
Previously, Tom could only apply real-ti Stellar Communication within a radius of 10 billion kiloters, a total volu of 419 quadrillion cubic kiloters, to control battleship combat.
Once outside this area, Tom could not control the battleships in real-ti, leading to a significant reduction in their combat power.
But now, with the maximum communication distance reaching 19.2 billion kiloters, the corresponding controllable battlefield volu has increased to approximately 2,960 quadrillion cubic kiloters, a seven-fold increase!
At the sa ti, with Tom’s tireless research day and night, besides energy technology and communication technology, he also made significant progress in all aspects, including materials technology, computing technology, high-speed ion thrusters, high-speed energy cannons, precision radar, hull structures, and industrial production.
In just a few decades, the total number of all technological breakthroughs, big and small, has almost exceeded 100 million!
This manifested in industrial productivity as Tom’s overall industrial capability increasing by approximately 30\% out of thin air, even without any increase in the maximum consciousness linkage count.
In terms of combat power, it ant that the average combat power of battleships of the sa class manufactured by Tom increased by approximately 20\% compared to before.
A 20\% overall performance improvent might seem small, but in an era of highly advanced technology where even a tiny improvent is exceptionally difficult and requires repeated research and refinent, it can almost be considered a generational leap.
This level of improvent is already enough to completely overwhelm the previous generation.
But this is also not the end of Tom’s technological developnt.
At this mont, Tom had an even more ambitious plan.
To develop a new generation of large battleships that are bigger, heavier, and more powerful than the Earth-class battleship, and can truly be called strategically significant.
Mars-class Battleship!
