"Don't come back! Don't return!"

That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years.

But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer.
Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind.

One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing.
More clone, more processing power

But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year.
Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero.

He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

The spatial radius of the Purple Moon Civilization Main Fleet is approximately 600 million kilometers. The larger the area covered by the Unified Force Field, the lower its average lethality.


Using it directly against an entire Main Fleet would likely not result in too much lethality.


Because this time, Tom was aiming to "wound ten fingers" rather than just "breaking one finger" as he had in the past.


After a period of busy preparation, Tom decisively gave the order.


At this moment, billions of clones once again contributed their bio-intelligence at the cost of their lives. All of Tom's decades of industrial accumulation in Unified Force Field components exploded due to energy overload, thereby releasing the most intense energy possible under current conditions.


Just over ten seconds after the Unified Force Field was activated, Tom saw its effect.
