Octopus Island.
102 meters deep, future ship laboratory.
In an extremely confidential office, Jiang Cheng stood in front of a viewing window made of pressure-resistant glass. With deep eyes, he looked at the schools of fish swimming past him and fell into deep thought.
At this time, seven days have passed since the end of the Emerald Island Science and Technology Expo.
During these seven days, Jiang Cheng hardly had any rest. There were endless meetings to attend and endless investors waiting for him every day, which made him finally experience a life of working day and night without eating or sleeping.
This kind of thing was unimaginable in his previous life!
You know, Jiang Cheng has never been a conscientious person. He has his own pursuits in life, and enjoying himself to the fullest is his philosophy of life.
However, the reason why he has been working so diligently these days is because these matters are of great importance and he cannot afford to ignore them.
At the closing ceremony of the expo, he dropped a bombshell on the world's technology industry, planning to build a ship of the century that could be called a "Noah's Ark" and could float freely on the sea.
Once this plan was released, it shocked the whole world!
It has only been a few days, but a large number of scientific researchers have begun to apply for green cards from Emerald Island, and they cover various industries of science and technology!
Such an astonishing number of applications is something Emerald Island has never encountered before. It is even larger than the most popular period when Emerald Island was first opened to the outside world.
From this we can see how attractive this huge construction plan is to scientific researchers around the world!
So, no matter from which perspective you look at it, Emerald Island has made a big profit this time!
As for the Emerald Island today, it has everything it needs, except talents, and the top scientific research talents!
However, these talents are limited after all, and they are all well protected by various countries. It is basically impossible to persuade them to come to Emerald Island by offering money!
So, after much thought, Jiang Cheng came up with this idea.
So far, it still works.
However, at this moment, only Jiang Cheng himself knew that there was more bitterness in his heart.
Because, this so-called "Future Floating City" plan was actually just a whimsical idea of his. He himself had no idea whether it could be built or how long it would take to build it!
It can be said that a large part of his solemn declaration to the world that day was actually just empty talk.
Of course, building a floating island on the sea, or a floating island-style building, has always been a grand idea of Jiang Cheng, and he has been working hard for it.
After such a long period of development, his level as an island owner has been raised to a considerable level, and he has all kinds of black technology.
But, at the same time, at his level, coming up with a single black technology no longer brings much sense of accomplishment.
Now, Jiang Cheng increasingly feels that in order to maximize the effects of these black technologies, it is necessary to utilize them in an integrated manner so as to create the greatest value.
It was based on this idea that he came up with the bizarre idea of building floating islands on the sea.
However, Jiang Cheng also knew that building such a floating island would face countless application challenges, such as material technology, power technology, energy technology, construction technology, etc.
All these problems cannot be solved at one time by relying solely on the black technology within his system. Ultimately, they still require the support of a large number of scientific researchers. This is why he publicly launched this major plan to the world.
Jiang Cheng felt excited when he thought about the large number of scientific researchers who would flock to Emerald Island in the future.
With the support of these scientific researchers, his scientific research plans can be implemented smoothly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately called up the system's construction shop. After a period of screening, his eyes finally fixed on a special engine.
As Jiang Cheng stretched out his finger and tapped, the engine model in the store suddenly enlarged and turned into a clear 3D projection, appearing in front of Jiang Cheng.
The engine model in front of us is in the shape of three closely connected cylindrical chimneys, but it has a large number of spiral conduction devices inside, and its outside is also wrapped in some special transistor-like facilities, which looks very strange.
If someone who doesn’t know sees this, they will definitely mistake it for some alien technological facility.
In fact, no matter from which angle you look at it, this does not seem like a technological device that can be had in today's world. It looks more like a power generation device in some science fiction novels.
Seeing the model of this generator, Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Zero loss wave generator!
In order to allow floating islands to sail freely on the sea, power is the most important and urgent problem to be solved. If the power problem cannot be solved, nothing else can be achieved!
However, the power required to allow a huge island to navigate freely will reach an extremely astonishing scale, and ordinary power supply facilities obviously cannot meet such needs.
Electricity supply facilities such as thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, and nuclear power plants either occupy huge areas, require burning energy, or have major safety risks. In short, they are not suitable for the special conditions of floating islands.
It was in this context that wave power generation facilities came into Jiang Cheng's sight.
In the ocean, the most stable and abundant energy source is undoubtedly wave energy!
Waves are everywhere at all times!
It can be said to be inexhaustible and can be used endlessly!
At the same time, unlike solar energy, wave energy will not be unable to provide electricity due to weather reasons. It is extremely stable and will not cause any environmental pollution problems.
Therefore, no matter from which angle you consider it, wave energy is the most suitable power source.
However, with today's technological level, it is very difficult to extract wave energy, and the power generation efficiency is extremely low.
The fundamental reason for this problem is that the movement of waves is completely irregular, in all directions, at all angles, vertically, horizontally, in pendulums, oscillations...
In short, if we cannot master the movement laws of waves, it will be impossible to effectively utilize this natural energy.
However, the emergence of zero-loss wave generators has solved this problem very well!
This power generation device is equipped with inertial wave focusing technology that can sense wave movement at all times, making maximum use of wave energy. It then uses a high-efficiency conversion system to convert this captured potential energy into electrical energy.
Most importantly, this wave energy generator is small in size but has high power generation efficiency and can be installed on a large scale.
Combining these generators together can form a wave energy power plant with an astonishing power output.
In this way, the idea of combining solar power generation, wind power generation and other power generation methods to provide power energy for a floating island is no longer a fantasy!
