On one side of the huge star base, a space dock has been completed.
There are many clones busy here. They are wearing power armor and have life support systems under their masks, which allow these clones who serve as technical workers to survive in space.
Inside the space dock are huge robotic arms. At this moment, these robotic arms are being controlled by skilled workers, constantly adding equipment to a ship in front of them, welding armor, etc.
Inside the ship, there were more workers busy, some of them were installing equipment, and some were connecting circuits.
There are two to three thousand people busy building a ship like this.
This is a large transport ship with a wide range of uses. It can collect mineral resources from mining stations established in asteroid belts within the galaxy.
For the development of a planet, relatively speaking, the planet's native resources are the easiest to mine and transport.
But the resources of a planet are limited, so as soon as it enters the interstellar age, it will turn its attention to other planets in the galaxy, and even meteorites, to obtain mineral resources from there.
The resources in the universe are almost endless, and some rare materials and minerals can only be obtained from meteorites or planets where humans cannot survive.
In the Tianjin Galaxy, the space dock in this huge star base has just been completed. Among the docks of the four ship-capacity units, large transport ships are now being built.
At present, Li Xin and his team have not discovered any enemies in the surrounding galaxies, so limited development is the most critical task.
The rare mineral mining stations built in those asteroid belts are currently transported by army landing ships and warships.
These ships are warships after all. Although they can carry cargo, their cargo capacity is relatively small.
Therefore, this is why Li Xin gave priority to building transport ships.
It takes at least 3,500 workers more than four months to build a large transport ship.
If you want to shorten this time, you can only continue to expand the space dock and add more mechanical equipment inside the dock.
But time waits for no one, so the current situation is that the space dock is continuously expanding, and more cloned technical workers are also arriving in space in an endless stream.
Soon, the construction of the four transport ships was completed. When the ships set sail from the dock, the space dock, which originally had only four ship-capacity units, had been expanded to eight ship-capacity units.
Moreover, the transport ship gradually went away, and from the porthole, one could see that around the star base, there were still small shadows busy working.
Apparently, the starbase is expanding, and more space docks are being built.
From this point on, what is being built in the space dock is not just transport ships, but more starships are also being built.
The priority is to build frigates, basic-class frigates with a length of more than 200 meters. Li Xin plans to build dozens of them first.
Before having more alloy materials and manpower, frigates and torpedo ships are the most suitable weapons for fighting in space.
Of course, a larger battleship would be more suitable, but when Li Xin left Guansuo 4 and left the Seventh Wave Fleet, there was no method to build a battleship among the ship blueprints they carried.
To build a battleship, it is not a simple matter of piling up materials and making the ship bigger. The most important thing is the ship-borne weapons, such as the battleship's main gun.
A ship without large main guns, no matter how big it is built, is just an empty shell and of little use.
Although things are developing very smoothly now, Li Xin still feels the pressure of facing the unknown.
Because he had no idea when the alien race, the Yelong Empire's troops, would arrive in this star field.
If the troops are not enough to repel the pioneering fleet of the Yelong Empire and are directly crushed, there will be no talk of future glory for mankind.
Now the development of the alliance is very rapid. Nearly ten million clones are born every month, and once the training is completed, they can be directly pulled out for use, which makes Li Xin worry-free.
The larger the population, the more factories are built. Compared to the beginning, all development revolves around heavy industry.
Nowadays, light industrial factories are also beginning to appear one after another.
Now that human resources are gradually becoming abundant, we can no longer continue to exploit all of humanity. Otherwise, even clones will have problems if they are kept under tension for a long time.
Therefore, all humans in the current union, whether natural persons or clones, implement an eight-hour work system, and the rest of the time is under their own control.
At the same time, Li Xin has proposed a market economy. Although they do not have any foreign trade partners now, there is a large enough gap in the internal circulation alone, so there is no need to worry about overcapacity.
Come to think of it, when there is overcapacity, it is usually because domestic consumer goods are already fully supplied.
Some light industrial products, whether clothing, home appliances, etc., all have time for iteration and replacement.
Existing products can easily last for decades.
Now, Li Xin has tens of millions of new people every month. This huge market can swallow everything.
Li Xin has arranged for Li Anyi from the financial department to set up sufficient payroll for all employees and open an energy bank.
All existing people, as long as they are qualified, will be hired as employees of the company. They need to work in exchange for income to ensure their survival.
When Li Xin and others landed in the Union, they all worked in a large collective and no one had any income because everything was rationed.
This is absolutely no problem at the beginning, but as time goes by, if you do not enter the market system, various problems will arise.
Of course, Li Xin did not want to go down this old path, so he issued various wordings in advance and established judicial and supervisory agencies to conduct internal supervision.
The main scope of work of the supervisory agency is personnel safety and anti-corruption work. As long as there are hierarchies in human society, there will be transactions of power, money and sex. It is very necessary to establish a supervisory agency.
The judicial organs are also the key point. As long as there are psychics, there is a possibility of chaos contamination, which is unavoidable.
The establishment of the judicial organ is Li Xin’s last resort to control the chaos pollution internally.
He could not accept that his army and people would suffer the same natural disaster tragedy as that which had occurred in Todut.
