The Backbone (Double the Math)

(Published on 4. June 2021, 12:30 by Mad-Tyas)

The 4th puzzle of my Double-the-Math series, in which I combine addition and multiplication in killer cages. In the previous puzzles, I have shown different variants of the information that can be obtained from the cages for the solution. And there will definitely be more to come.
Due to the very positive feedback, I now give priority to another puzzle of the mystery variant without cage totals. A very special structure with fascinating interaction. It was great fun to discover it during setting and I hope you will experience the same solving the puzzle. As always, feedback is very welcome.

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Killer sudoku: In cages digits must not be repeated and must add up to the cage totat. The cage totals in this sudoku are not given and need to be deduced by the solver using the following rule.

Multiplication cells (green dots): The multiplication of all cells with a green dot in a cage must result in the cage total, too.

Little Killer: A clue outside the grid tells the sum of the digits on the indicated diagonal which can include repeats.

The colors of the cages are for clarity and have no further meaning.

Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 9 (18 digits)
