To develop a planet, various construction tasks should be prioritized, with the most important facilities and factories, such as power plants and Steel Plants, built first.
After obtaining initial energy and material supplies from the local area, less important factories can then be slowly constructed.
However...
Recalling the hardship of his early days with only a few Clones, struggling to survive and gradually accumulate an industrial base on the surface of Loshen Star, Tom now waved his hand grandly, full of ambition.
"What prioritization? What gradual accumulation? All factories that can be used should be built at once!"
When I only had one spaceship, I could only build things little by little.
Now that I have over a thousand spaceships, do I still need to build things little by little? Then wouldn’t I have built all these spaceships for nothing!
In an instant, thousands of small landing craft left the fleet, dispersing and landing across various parts of the God-Enemy Star.
In the early stages, Tom had already thoroughly surveyed the resource reserves of God-Enemy Star.
Even the selection and design of industrial base clusters had been completed long ago, so there was no need to consider anything else; he just needed to build.
After the initial materials were transported down, a large number of Clones began to land in batches.
As a result, as many as 500 factories were simultaneously put into construction.
Not only were factories built simultaneously, but Tom also directed a large number of Clones, operating various machines, to directly lay railway tracks and construct spaceship landing pads across the God-Enemy Star.
All 3.3 million Clones were put into construction. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel{f}ire.net
The first facility to be completed was a massive power plant.
This power plant housed 50 large generators, each with an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts, capable of generating 25 million kilowatt-hours per hour when operating at full power.
In the past, even if this power plant were built, it couldn’t operate; it would have to wait.
After all, 25 million kilowatt-hours per hour of electricity generation is not a small number for fuel demand, and fuel supply also requires the construction of corresponding infrastructure.
But now the situation is different.
The moment the power plant was completed, a methane mine located at a methane-rich spot and an oxygen ore mine located at an oxygen-rich spot were simultaneously completed.
The railway connecting these three was also just finished.
So, trains roared, transporting huge amounts of methane and oxygen, which were then fed into the combustion chambers of the critical generator sets, converting thermal energy into electrical energy.
The surging electricity was transmitted through a vast power grid to every location where Clones were present.
Thus, the temporary power generation facilities used in the early stages could finally be removed.
With a plentiful electricity supply, the speed of other constructions also increased.
The next newly built facility was a gigantic Steel Plant.
Due to Tom’s intentional regulation, as soon as the Steel Plant was completed, its supporting iron ore mines, lines, chemical supply factories, and fuel and power supply factories were also completed simultaneously.
As a result, the construction on God-Enemy Star no longer needed steel from Loshen Star but could produce it locally.
With ample steel supply, the construction of other facilities accelerated again.
Copper mines, aluminum mines, lead mines, and a series of other mineral bases and smelting plants, as well as subsequent large foundries, precision component production factories, and so on, also emerged like mushrooms after rain.
With ample metal production and forging capabilities, a gigantic planting base covering an area of 5 square kilometers, 500 meters high, and divided into 230 layers, was rapidly completed.
This planting base, utilizing double-layered planting racks, had an available area of approximately 14,000 mu per layer, totaling 3.22 million mu across 230 layers!
Inside the enormous planting base, countless planting racks spread out like a steel jungle, countless fluorescent lights simultaneously emitted light, and countless pipelines were laid out in layers.
Ultimately, under the control of a specialized agricultural AI, only a mere ten thousand Clones were needed to operate it.
If used to grow wheat, this planting base could produce approximately 2.5 million tons per quarter, which is ten million tons of wheat per year!
Just one of these could solve the flour demand for all Clones on the entire God-Enemy Star.
After this, the livestock base was also completed, and countless pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese began to grow within it.
Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three years, the entire God-Enemy Star underwent earth-shattering changes.
The original desolation and silence had long disappeared.
Now, on God-Enemy Star, railway tracks extended to every corner of the planet, and factories and bases were scattered everywhere like stars.
In just three years, with Tom’s full effort, all basic industrial bases were completed.
But this was not the end.
Tom also wanted to build higher-level advanced industrial factories!
A massive Clone cultivation factory and its associated facilities rapidly appeared on the surface of God-Enemy Star.
From this moment on, Tom could cultivate Clones locally on God-Enemy Star.
After that, a huge chip factory was completed.
From then on, God-Enemy Star could not only produce chips locally but also "export" them to Loshen Star.
After completing the chip factory, Tom immediately began the construction of another extremely important facility.
A supercomputing base! And not just one, but over 100!
Using the most advanced 45-nanometer process chips, supercomputing bases rose one after another.
The smallest of these supercomputers used over 60,000 of the most advanced chips.
The largest supercomputing base used over 120,000 chips!
Supercomputing bases were distributed across various industrial zones, and they began to operate under the supply of their affiliated power plants.
Tom then placed the AI, which had already completed training on Loshen Star and possessed a considerable degree of functionality, into these supercomputers for real-time management tasks for each factory.
Agricultural AI, Steel AI, Clone Factory AI, Power Grid AI, Power Plant AI, Aluminum Mine AI...
And so on and so forth.
And the most important one.
Hestia AI!
That largest supercomputing base was the residence of Hestia AI.
It would coordinate and control the operation of all other sub-industry AIs from there.
It took a full five years for Tom to complete the construction of all primary and advanced industrial facilities.
Now, the number of factories and bases on God-Enemy Star has surged to tens of thousands, producing vast amounts of resources every minute.
Although they were mostly of the more basic types, the categories still included methane, oxygen ore, rare earth minerals, castings, chips, paint, lubricating oil, and so on—almost hundreds of thousands of types.
Each type was indispensable in Tom’s technological development process, yet they were types that were gradually depleting on Loshen Star.
Now that construction was complete, Tom could not leave yet.
There was one final, and most important, construction task left unfinished.
A large electromagnetic launch system!
