Tom was somewhat shocked by the feeling he was experiencing at this moment.
He noticed that after having two brains, all his brain-related abilities, such as learning ability, thinking ability, memory ability, and information processing ability, had doubled.
At the same time, having two bodies also meant that his mobility had doubled.
He looked at the Clone in front of him with shock, as both his brains began to operate rapidly.
"If two bodies mean a twofold increase, what about three, four, or even a hundred or a thousand Clones?
Won't my various abilities increase by hundreds or thousands of times?"
Not only that, but Tom also noticed that his consciousness seemed to be able to switch freely between the two bodies.
With a thought, he suddenly felt as if he possessed a brand new body.
A healthy, young, strong body, free from the sub-health conditions caused by long-term work, prolonged fatigue, and irregular routines.
Abundant energy and stamina surged through him, making him feel as if he had been reborn.
He incredulously swung his fists, moved his body, and then looked at his original body, which, temporarily without his commands, could only stand there blankly, as if it had lost consciousness. Tom's heart was instantly filled with joy.
Being able to switch freely between different bodies, to freely change bodies, meant that he would never grow old, never die!
If one body got sick, aged, was injured, or became disabled, he could just switch to another body.
Each additional Clone would double his various abilities. Plus, his ability to never die or grow old…
Tom came to the porthole, looking at the vast starry sky outside and the enormous dark red planet beneath his feet, his heart filled with fervent hope.
In that case, I might just be able to survive on this planet!
Not only do I want to survive, but I also want to find a way to acquire sufficient scientific research and engineering capabilities, even to the point where I can build interstellar probes and spaceships myself.
At that time, I want to go to Earth to see what happened to our civilization.
Even if there is danger, and my original body cannot go, I will send probes and Clones to find out what happened.
At this moment, the decadence and despair that had shrouded Tom for so long instantly dissipated.
His two brains once again entered a state of high-speed operation.
"To survive on Loshen Star, the key lies in obtaining materials and energy, which means a considerable amount of engineering work.
Relying solely on the current two bodies is definitely not enough. If I could have ten or more Clones, I would have some confidence.
So, the most urgent task now is to continue cultivating Clones and increase their number!"
He looked at the large cultivation tank behind him.
Only this kind of large cultivation tank could cultivate his Clones. But there was only one.
If he cultivated one Clone every six months, the speed would be too slow. So…
He would dismantle the other small cultivation tanks and assemble several large cultivation tanks!
After a rough calculation, Tom found that by adding existing reserve materials and dismantling some parts from other places, the current Clone cultivation equipment could probably be modified into four large cultivation tanks.
This would make a total of five units.
If five Clones were cultivated every six months… it would barely be enough in the initial stage.
Even if it wasn't enough, there was nothing he could do, as there were no more materials or parts on the Deep Space Spaceship.
Having decided on this plan, Tom, without resting, immediately operated the two Clones to the study room.
The study room's database contained a vast amount of scientific and technological data provided by the human scientist team, covering almost everything.
After all, Loshen Star was too far from Earth; a one-way communication had a delay of approximately 14 hours, meaning a round trip for information took more than a day.
In case of an emergency, Tom would not have time to receive instructions from Earth. At such times, the study database could play a significant role.
He could come here himself to look up information, formulate plans, and resolve unexpected incidents.
At this moment, what Tom began to study here was the operating principles, mechanical structure, and other related knowledge of the Clone cultivation equipment.
The advantage of having two bodies and two brains was fully demonstrated at this moment.
He didn't become smarter, but the study materials that would originally have taken Tom 80 hours to learn now only required 40 hours to complete.
It was simple: Tom assigned the operating principles to his original body to learn, the mechanical structure to the Clone to learn, the power system to his original body, and engineering knowledge to the Clone…
His self-consciousness stood at a higher level, integrating the knowledge from both bodies.
The two bodies were like two people in a team, each taking on a portion of the learning tasks.
At the same time, because both were completely under his control, Tom could precisely coordinate the learning tasks of the two bodies, allowing them to cooperate and coordinate with each other to maximize efficiency.
There was no wasted energy, no internal friction.
This efficiency was immeasurably higher than any team on Earth.
After 40 hours of study, the two bodies returned to the plant and animal cultivation room, carrying various tools, and began to dismantle the original equipment, followed by upgrading, modifying, and assembling it.
During the actual hands-on work, the two bodies once again demonstrated extremely precise coordination.
As soon as one body completed its task, the tool needed for the next step was perfectly handed over.
As soon as one body finished assembling a part, the other part of the structure was also simultaneously prepared, fitting together perfectly.
The two bodies moved back and forth within the small workspace, but their movements did not interfere with each other in the slightest, let alone accidentally bumping into each other.
Under this extremely high-efficiency work, in just one month, four brand new large cultivation tanks were completed.
They looked much rougher than the original cultivation tanks, but it didn't matter; as long as they worked.
Five processed sample cells were placed into a total of five cultivation tanks to begin cultivation.
If all went well, in six months, Tom would have five more bodies and five more brains available.
At this point, Tom began to busy himself with another matter.
"Having enough bodies is not enough. To operate on Loshen Star, a spacesuit is essential.
Currently, including the three spare spacesuits, I have a total of four, which is only enough for four bodies at most.
This won't do; I need to find a way to make more spacesuits, at least eight more. That way, all twelve of my bodies can land on Loshen Star."
