Piling up various materials and creating a flying star out of thin air would be an unimaginable feat for ordinary civilizations, something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
The industrial capacity and coordination ability required for it are simply too enormous.
But now, Li Qingsong had truly accomplished this.
Li Qingsong saw that, because of its immense mass, this planet, entirely artificially created by Li Qingsong, even possessed some characteristics of large, natural planets.
This flying star already possessed a surface gravity that couldn't be ignored.
At this moment, a clone wearing a spacesuit arrived on the surface of this planet under Li Qingsong's control.
He stood on a container without relying on any external force.
Normally, in the weightlessness of space, any slight disturbance would cause this clone to fly away from the planet.
But now, even as he walked continuously on the surface, he remained firmly attached to the planet's surface.
Because the gravitational acceleration on the surface of this planet reached approximately millimeters per second squared, about 1/1800th of Earth's gravity!

This clone continued to move forward, and facing a ditch in front of him—actually a gap between stacked containers—he suddenly jumped up.
This jump propelled him over ten meters high. After flying to the opposite side of the ditch and reaching the highest point, he fell downward at an acceleration of millimeters per second squared, eventually landing back on the planet's surface without flying into space.
Because the escape velocity of this planet reached about 23 meters per second.
Without reaching this speed, no matter how high the clone jumped, he couldn't escape the gravitational field of this flying star.
The clone ran quickly on the planet's surface, inspecting it as he ran.
His running speed became faster and faster, first five meters per second, then ten meters, twelve meters, until finally, his running speed reached 18 meters per second.
Then, with another jump, the clone's body hovered about 30 meters above the surface of the flying star.
This time, he didn't fall back down.
Because the speed of 18 meters per second had reached the orbital velocity of this planet.
Without any other interference, this clone would forever rotate around this flying star at a speed of 18 meters per second, completing a revolution in less than five hours, just like artificial satellites orbiting the Earth.
After flying around the planet twice, the clone activated the thrusters on his spacesuit and descended back to the planet's surface.
Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.
Its strength is so low that an ordinary person can easily counteract it.
For example, an ordinary person on Earth casually picks up a pen—a very common occurrence. But from the perspective of the gravitational field, it is an ordinary person using their own strength to easily counteract the gravity of the entire Earth on this pen.
Li Qingsong even observed that this flying star he created, due to its own gravitational field, had even created an extremely thin "atmosphere" for itself.
Of course, it was only an atmosphere in the microscopic sense.
Some interstellar stray gases were briefly gathered around it due to the gravitational field of this flying star, creating a higher density around the planet than in other places.
According to Li Qingsong's calculations, the gas density on the planet's surface was about twice that of the surrounding area, reaching about 20 atoms per cubic centimeter.
Hoping that such a thin "atmosphere" would generate any atmospheric pressure was basically wishful thinking. However, if forced to calculate, Li Qingsong also calculated the atmospheric pressure on the surface of this planet at this moment, concluding that it was about 10^-32 Pascals, about 10^37th of Earth's atmospheric pressure.

However, another indicator was more significant.
After arriving at the core of this flying star through the passage, the clone controlled by Li Qingsong felt a significant atmospheric pressure.
Because of its own gravity, the material that made up this planet possessed an inward squeezing force. Thus, the gas at the core of the planet was compressed, causing it to have about half the atmospheric pressure of Earth.
This level of atmospheric pressure was already sufficient to support human survival.
Thus, in a certain cabin at the core of this planet, the clone took off his spacesuit and began to rely on completely "natural" atmospheric pressure to maintain breathing.
Li Qingsong controlled him to raise his head, and he saw the deep, long tunnel, and the layers upon layers of containers, large tanks, and so on stacked there.
A peculiar feeling welled up in his heart.
"Two hundred trillion tons of matter, in the completely weightless space, relying on the gravity brought about by its own mass, actually squeezed out a space where stable atmospheric pressure can exist. It's really amazing..."

Switching the perspective to another clone, standing high in the sky and looking at the flying star in front of him, Li Qingsong's heart was filled with emotion.
"Going all out, my industrial capacity has actually reached this level..."
"A real planet, comparable to even the larger asteroids, completely artificially made..."
Almost all of the mass that makes up this planet is the various materials that Li Qingsong needs.
It is not like ordinary asteroids or large planets, where most of the mass cannot be utilized.
For example, if he wanted to smelt steel, Li Qingsong would need to mine iron ore, and then go through a series of complex smelting procedures, eventually possibly discarding as much as two-thirds of the mass of the iron ore in order to smelt the steel he needed.
The same is true for other minerals.
Those discarded "impurities" are garbage to Li Qingsong. Not only are they useless, but separating them requires a lot of energy and many industrial facilities.
And now, this flying star, every mineral stored on it has been pre-purified and smelted, basically existing in the form of elements and alloys.
Gases such as hydrogen, deuterium, oxygen, and nitrogen have also been pre-purified and separated. All kinds of parts and components have been manufactured in advance and stored there, ready to be used directly when needed, without even needing to be processed.
Even if a natural planet is completely developed by Li Qingsong, the maximum mass that can be utilized by Li Qingsong will not exceed 10% of the planet's mass, and the remaining 90% will have to be discarded.
And now, this flying star, specially built according to Li Qingsong's will, can have all of its mass utilized by Li Qingsong, and it is extremely convenient to use, without any waste!
At this moment, the "luggage" for this voyage is ready.
Now, it's time to pack up this luggage.
