One billion!
Tom never imagined that after integrating the Bluetoth Civilization's biotechnology, his own biotechnology would advance to such an extent.
He originally thought that an increase to 200 million would be quite good, but he didn't expect it to directly increase tenfold!
One billion clones would be under his consciousness link at all times, and each clone would be equivalent to a top scientist with knowledge of all disciplines. There would be no internal friction or communication costs between the one billion clones, allowing them to fully devote themselves to technological development...
How immense would his scientific research capabilities be?
Even the total population of Human Civilization back then reached around 40 billion, forty times his current number. But in terms of scientific research capability, it would be good if they had even one percent of his!
