Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

Chapter 235: Long Distance Communication


Besides the enormous improvements in the four most critical areas—energy, propulsion, defense, and weaponry—Tom saw that the Unified Field Formula also heralded technological leaps in many other aspects.

For instance, the performance enhancement of quantum computers.

Also based on a deeper understanding of the operating principles of the microscopic world, Tom knew that he would definitely be able to build quantum supercomputers with performance ten or even a hundred times greater than current ones in the future.

With such immense computational power, to what extent would the performance of various artificial intelligences, such as Goku AI, Hestia AI, Gaia, and Demeter.

To what extent would his unmanned combat capabilities, industrial strength, and scientific research capabilities leap?

Besides this, the Unified Field Formula also heralded another matter of paramount importance.

Stellar Communication.

Real-time, long-distance communication without delay!

Once Stellar Communication Technology is mastered, even if Tom is 100 billion kilometers away from another base, he will be able to communicate in real-time, without any delay!

However, using conventional electromagnetic wave communication over a distance of 100 billion kilometers would result in a two-way communication delay of approximately 7.7 days, making remote control construction basically unfeasible.

If I send a message and it takes 7.7 days to receive a response, how can I even operate anything?

Even with the highly intelligent Hestia AI, construction with a 7.7-day delay would face significant obstacles, leading to extremely low efficiency.

Now, the mastery of the Unified Field Formula has allowed Tom to understand the microscopic phenomenon of "quantum entanglement" more fundamentally, thereby indicating the ability to master Stellar Communication Technology using this phenomenon.

More importantly, this also means that the consciousness connection between Tom and his clones is very likely to become delay-free due to the emergence of Stellar Communication Technology.

"If I could implant a neural chip in the brain of every clone, with the neural chip interacting with the clone's brain, and then information transfer between neural chips occurring via Stellar Communication Technology, wouldn't that mean that even across a hundred billion kilometers, I could maintain a real-time consciousness link with the clone's brain?"

Of course, Tom has not yet mastered the suitable neural chips and Stellar Communication Technology at this moment; he has only clarified their theoretical basis.

To truly achieve this, a large investment of research resources is still required.

But at least, Tom is no longer hindered by fundamental theoretical obstacles in mastering these two technologies.

As long as he continues his research, mastering these two technologies in the future is a high probability event.

Delay-free consciousness connection with clones!

Just thinking about it filled Tom with excitement.

In the past, due to the communication speed between himself and his clones being limited to the speed of light, and thus experiencing significant communication delays even at slight distances, Tom had racked his brains countless times, made numerous compromises, and sacrificed much efficiency.

Even Tom's main consciousness had to frequently shuttle between clones located in different places, stationing himself wherever construction was most important, to ensure the progress of critical construction projects by sacrificing the efficiency of other areas.

Not only was it extremely troublesome, but efficiency was also greatly affected.

Now, Tom finally saw hope of escaping this situation.

Furthermore, the Unified Field Formula also heralded a massive leap in material science.

This still stemmed from the manipulation of the Strong Nuclear Force.

Tom would potentially be able to create super-strong materials that transcend the concepts of "alloys" and ordinary elements.

They might no longer be called elements because they might not even possess atomic structures, existing entirely in a structure similar to gluon plasma, dominated by the Strong Nuclear Force.

They might be able to withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, face unimaginable impacts without any damage or cracks, and resist corrosion from various chemicals, such as strong acids and bases, without changing at all, and so on.

The imaginative space for such materials is simply too vast, practically heralding a new world that Tom had never seen before.

Truly feeling the power of a Strong Nuclear Civilization, and the immense improvement compared to an Electroweak Civilization, even Tom, with his composure, couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, no wonder that Mechanical Disaster fought me like a special forces soldier fighting a primitive man, leaving me with almost no power to retaliate…

Their energy supply was more abundant than mine, their maneuverability was higher than mine, their defense was higher than mine, and even their conventional weapons used 'micro-nuclear bombs' while I used ordinary projectiles. In such a situation, how could I possibly fight them?"

Tom felt increasingly fortunate.

Previously, he had calculated everything, exhausted all his efforts, and maximized all factors—timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony—just to barely force back the Mechanical Disaster fleet. He had thought this outcome was natural, but now it seemed there was still too much luck involved.

There was no other way; the enemy was too powerful. If even one small accident had occurred in any single link, the situation might not have been as it is today.

It's also fortunate that within these three hundred years that I barely managed to secure, I truly completed the transformation from an Electroweak Civilization to a Strong Nuclear Civilization…

Although Tom is currently unable to manufacture any Strong Nuclear-level technological creations, at least now, Tom can understand the operating principles of the Mechanical Disaster fleet's various incredible facilities, no longer seeing them as if they were miracles.

At this moment, Tom had an impulse: to disregard everything and conduct a series of subsequent researches based on the Unified Field Formula within this star system, truly transforming the breakthrough in fundamental physics into industrial strength and war potential.

Those technological creations, like a feast before a beggar, exuded an almost irresistible attraction, making Tom eager to pounce on them.

As long as I continue my research, I will also be able to master those numerous advanced technological creations, and I will also be as powerful as the Mechanical Disaster fleet, or even more powerful. I will no longer have to wander, constantly fleeing in space, living from hand to mouth…

However, Tom forcefully suppressed this urge.

Now is not the time to research technology.

It has been 200 years since the Mechanical Disaster fleet was forced to retreat.

In at most another 100 years, the Mechanical Disaster fleet will return.

With only 100 years, it seems impossible for Tom to complete the task of transitioning from technological research and development to building a massive fleet.

The only viable path is to embark on another escape, carrying enough supplies, and complete subsequent technological breakthroughs during space travel!
