The first challenge Tom faced was the transportation of materials and goods.
If he had sufficient technology, Tom would naturally hope to build a Space Elevator, which would save him from the various troubles of spacecraft transportation and allow him to conveniently transport massive amounts of materials directly into space.
Unfortunately, his technology had not yet developed to such a high level; at this stage, he could only rely on spacecraft.
The existing spacecraft could only transport two tons of materials at a time, which was too inefficient. But developing new spacecraft was not something that could be done overnight.
Since that was the case, he could only increase the quantity.
Thus, Tom's first decision was to immediately expand the productivity of the spacecraft industry chain, to build more spacecraft in the shortest possible time.
