After the construction of the first space elevator on Ganymede was completed, the production of the massive zero fiber did not stop, but instead intensified.

During this long production period, Tom continuously optimized and improved the production process, efficiency, and other aspects.

The originally somewhat crude and simple production facilities were gradually replaced by more advanced and stable equipment, and the automation level and reliability of the entire production line slowly improved.

Through these continuous iterations, the current daily output of zero fiber for each production line has increased from the previous two tons to 2.6 tons.

Not only that, but the performance of the zero fiber they produced was also slowly improving. Compared to the initially produced ones, it had again increased by about 10%.

Although it was only an increase of 0.6 tons in output and 10% in performance, overall, it could already be considered a generational leap.

Thus, the annual output of the entire zero fiber production base increased from the previous 1.46 million tons to approximately 1.9 million tons.

Large quantities of zero fiber were transported by the No. 1 space elevator from Ganymede to Io, Europa, and Callisto, and the other three space elevators began simultaneous construction.

After a total of 6 years, the four large moons of the Jupiter system finally all had space elevators to serve as material transfer stations between the surface and space.

With the complete resolution of material transportation obstacles throughout the Jupiter system, Tom's development of the Jupiter system entered a brand new phase.

By now, Tom had been in the Jupiter system for over a decade.

During these ten-plus years, Tom not only completed the construction of four space elevators but also completed industrial and scientific research facilities three times larger than Loshen Star and God-Enemy Star combined.

On the four large moons, over a dozen small moons, as well as in the Jupiter ring and interstellar space, Tom collectively possessed over 200,000 massive factories, laboratories, or bases.

The abundant resources from the Jupiter system were continuously extracted, processed by the industrial system, and then poured into various scientific research facilities like a flood, becoming the nourishment that propelled technological research and development.

Even within the Jupiter ring, Tom constructed a massive resource extraction system.

At different nodes in the Jupiter ring, Tom built 10 supercomputers and 100 primary ore smelting facilities, deploying over 1 million automatic prospecting and acceleration devices.

They resembled flat, rectangular iron boxes, self-powered, and equipped with precise prospecting equipment.

They spent their days in the dust and debris-filled Jupiter ring, using automatic scanning and prospecting equipment to precisely analyze the elemental composition of every piece of debris.

Once a valuable rock was discovered, different retrieval methods were employed based on the target's size.

Rocks that were too small were directly abandoned. For smaller but sufficiently valuable rocks, this prospecting device would automatically plan a route, skillfully bypassing other rocks to reach it, extend a metal net to secure it, then automatically accelerate, carrying it out of the Jupiter ring, and directly "throwing" it into the nearest space smelting base for processing.

If the rock was larger, for example, tens or hundreds of meters in size, it would summon nearby mining facilities to come together, automatically draw a map, analyze the center of gravity, and after selecting stress points, multiple mining devices would automatically attach to different parts of the rock, simultaneously initiating acceleration to drag it out and then throw it to the smelting factory.

The 10 space supercomputers located at different nodes provided ample computing power for the space mining AI, and 10 AIs collaborated to collectively direct over 1 million mining devices to continuously survey the Jupiter ring.

The approximately 10,000 clones located within these space smelting factories, under Tom's unified connection, took on the tasks of optimizing, maintaining, repairing, and making decisions for this entire process.

Minerals from the Jupiter ring, minerals from other small moons, and minerals from the large moons were busily transported by large and small cargo spacecraft, eventually converging on one of the four space elevators, where they were unloaded, allowing the cargo to travel down the space elevator to the surface.

On the surface, heavy-duty trains roared on countless railway lines. Between the railway lines, massive convoys of heavy trucks sped across the desolate and silent land, and for some inconvenient locations, aerospace-capable spacecraft would handle the last leg of the transportation task.

The entire Jupiter system, under the control of Tom and these 15 million clones, connected by countless spacecraft, trains, vehicle convoys, and most importantly, the four space elevators, formed a unified whole.

The basic industrial system was fully completed and had reached its true peak state. Consequently, Tom's technology naturally began to experience breakthroughs again.

Over the past decade, alongside the construction of the industrial system, various minor technological advancements, such as the optimization of processes, adjustment of production lines, and performance improvements of various materials and equipment, had frequently occurred.

Tom made a brief calculation and arrived at an astonishing number.

The total number of minor advancements in all industrial and scientific fields combined had even exceeded ten million!

Although none were critical technological breakthroughs, one should not forget that critical technological breakthroughs also emerge from the continuous solidifying and progress of fundamentals.

At this stage, with the complete establishment of all industrial systems and the peak supply of resources and brainpower to all research bases, the total number of such minor advancements, sometimes as small as a 0.5% decrease in the incidence of a certain livestock disease, surged again.

Within just three years, their total number again surpassed ten million, matching the total quantity over the past decade of large-scale construction.

Beneath these successive minor breakthroughs, the first major breakthrough finally arrived.

Chip technology finally broke through once again!

After incorporating multi-patterning technology, FinFET technology, a series of new materials and processes, as well as overall structural and production flow optimization, the latest generation of 10-nanometer chips was finally produced in small batches by Tom in the laboratory.

Compared to the previously used 20-nanometer chips, the number of transistors in 10-nanometer chips increased by another 2.5 times, directly surging from approximately 4 billion to 10 billion!

The increase in transistor count also meant a significant improvement in performance. After a simple evaluation, Tom reached a conclusion.

Chip performance at least doubled compared to the previous generation!
