Using platinum as a consumable for experiments can be said to be the most luxurious experiment.
Fortunately, the mining work on Mars has not stopped in recent years. After the platinum was mined, it was all transported back to Earth and then centrally stored.
After a long period of accumulation, Jiang Cheng has now saved a lot of platinum, enough for him to squander it in experiments.
Soon Jiang Cheng called and sent countless materials, all of which were necessary for making a curvature engine.
Of course, a large amount of platinum was sent over as consumables for Jiang Cheng's next experiment.
Jiang Cheng looked at the piles of platinum keys in the laboratory, his eyes a little dazzled.
Next, it's time for Jiang Cheng to waste the platinum. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng doesn't care about the value of the platinum.
He has so much platinum piled up in his hand that he won't feel sad if he takes it out to waste it.
Before officially starting manufacturing, Jiang Cheng first did the design work.
This aspect is not difficult for Jiang Cheng at all. In his previous life, he had done many curvature engine designs.
The real hardship is the subsequent manufacturing work. Any mistake will cause the entire engine to be scrapped.
To develop a highly stable curvature engine, Jiang Cheng may need to manufacture many experimental engines.
These experiments are a process of accumulating experience and an inevitable failure on the road to success.
Jiang Cheng completed the design work in a few days and drew all the drawings of the curvature engine.
Next it was time for Jiang Cheng to roll up his sleeves and get to work. Making a curvature guide was no easy task.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng has Ruo Lucy's help, allowing her to control all the equipment.
Jiang Cheng only needs to provide guidance from the side, and does not need to do the work himself.
Soon Jiang Cheng completed the manufacturing of the first curvature engine, and at the same time consumed some materials piled in the laboratory.
After completing the manufacturing of the first experimental engine, it does not mean that Jiang Cheng has completed all the work.
The reliability of this kind of experimental engine is very poor. It will be scrapped after not running for too long, and it cannot be installed on a spacecraft at all.
A reliable engine requires countless experimental engines to open the way before it can finally be developed.
In fact, his research and development work has just begun. Jiang Cheng will need to sum up experience from countless failures before he can create a truly usable curvature engine.
After completing the manufacturing of the first experimental engine, the next step is the testing stage.
After the test is completed, Jiang Cheng will improve the engine design based on the test data and perfect the engine design bit by bit.
After repeating this work countless times, a perfect curvature engine will be born.
Jiang Cheng is still in the initial stages of work. He still has a long and difficult road to go on the research and development of the curvature engine.
Ji Su is now standing in front of a curvature engine, making preparations for the test.
This curvature generator is very large, almost filling a room.
If the entire room wasn't the largest room in the laboratory, it probably wouldn't be able to accommodate this experimental engine.
After all, the curvature actuator is a device used by spacecraft, so its size is certainly not much smaller.
This engine is only a relatively rudimentary curvature engine, so its size is not particularly large.
If it were an advanced curvature engine that could accelerate hundreds of times, it would probably be as big as a small building.
Jiang Cheng checked the lines connected to the engine and then started the test.
Lucy, prepare to start the engine test work, please record all the data. "
Experiment No. 1 begins testing!
After Jiang Cheng's order was issued, Lucy activated the energy transmission line and began to send energy to the engine wheel.
When the energy circuit was transmitted into the fuse, the experimental fuse in front of Jiang Cheng began to shine with different colors of light.
These lights represent that the folds of space are increasing, and the distance in the entire space is beginning to be shortened.
Among them, Jiang Cheng, who was in the country of Yinfan, didn't feel anything, because what was shortened was only the relative distance.
Jiang Cheng, who is within the scope of the influence, will not be affected in any way, no different from when he is in a normal space.
When the light of different colors on the primer begins to grow larger, that is when the power of the primer reaches its maximum.
At this time, the space of Engine Zhou has been relatively shortened by twenty times.
If 573 were on a spacecraft now, the speed would have increased by as much as twenty times.
However, it is now in a fixed position, so there is no change.
Now only through testing instruments can we test the changes in space.
Master, now the No. 1 experimental engine has reached maximum power, and the space fold test is in line with expectations. This engine has met the design requirements.
Lucy is reporting the test data to Jiang Cheng, letting Jiang Cheng know the specific situation of the current experimental engine.
After Jiang Cheng heard Lucy's report, he nodded with satisfaction and said: Very good, continue to maintain the maximum power and see how long this engine can run.
Experiment No. 1's test data met the design requirements, which does not mean that Jiang Cheng's experiment was successful.
Now this is only running for a short period of time, and there is no problem at all.
After running at full power for a long time, various problems will definitely occur.
These problems are what Jiang Cheng needs to solve. The entire research and development process is to discover and solve problems.
Only if an engine can run for a long time can it meet Jiang Cheng's requirements.
Master, the engine parameters have begun to fluctuate, and several indicators have exceeded the warning line. Do you want to terminate this test
After the experimental engine No. was running for a few minutes, some problems occurred.
Lucy immediately informed Jiang Cheng of the current situation and asked whether to terminate the experiment.
At this time, the light flashing on the experimental engine began to become unstable, which meant that there was indeed something wrong with the engine.
Just looking at the current condition of the engine, I knew it would stop running soon. It seemed that the engine was not stable enough and it only ran for a few minutes.
This kind of engine is indeed unusable, and no one dares to install it on a spacecraft if it can only be used for a few minutes.
At the very least, it must be able to keep running for several hours before this kind of engine has practical value, otherwise it will be a failed experiment.
Judging from the current situation, Jiang Cheng’s first experimental engine has failed.
However, this was something that had been expected for a long time, so Jiang Chengbing's mood did not fluctuate at all.
I saw him calmly giving the follow-up order to Ruo Lucy: "Stop the energy input and terminate this test.
