Using platinum as consumables for experints, this type of experint can be said to be the most extravagant.
Fortunately, the mining work on Mars hasn't stopped over the years. After being extracted, all this platinum was shipped back to Earth and then centrally stored.
After a long period of accumulation, Jiang Cheng now has a lot of platinum stored, enough for him to squander in his experints.
Soon Jiang Cheng made a call and had countless materials delivered, all of which are necessary for manufacturing the Curvature Engine.
Of course, a large amount of platinum was also delivered as consumables for Jiang Cheng's upcoming experints.
Jiang Cheng looked at the mountain of platinum ingots in the laboratory, his eyes almost dazzled.
Next is the ti for Jiang Cheng to waste this platinum. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng doesn't care about its value.
The amount of platinum he has is unknown; wasting so wouldn't cause him any heartache.
Before officially starting manufacturing, Jiang Cheng first focused on the design work.
This isn't difficult for Jiang Cheng at all; in his past life, he did many Curvature Engine designs.
The real hardship lies in the manufacturing process, where any minor error can lead to the entire engine being scrapped.
To develop a highly stable Curvature Engine, Jiang Cheng might need to create many experintal engines.
The production of these experintal engines is a process of accumulating experience and an indispensable failure on the road to success.
In just a few days, Jiang Cheng completed the design work and drew all the blueprints for the Curvature Engine.
Next cos the ti for Jiang Cheng to roll up his sleeves and get to work. Assembling a Curvature Engine is not a trivial task.
Luckily, with Lucy's help, she can control all the equipnt.
Jiang Cheng just needs to guide her from the side and doesn't have to do the work himself.
Soon Jiang Cheng completed the manufacture of the first Curvature Engine and consud so of the materials piled up in the laboratory.
Completing the first experintal engine does not an that Jiang Cheng has finished all the work.
The reliability of such experintal engines is very poor; they will fail after running briefly and cannot be installed on a spacecraft.
A reliable engine requires many experintal engines to pave the way before it can eventually be developed.
Actually, his research work has just begun, and later Jiang Cheng will need to learn from countless failures to manufacture a truly usable Curvature Engine.
After completing the manufacture of the first experintal engine, the next stage is testing.
After the test is completed, Jiang Cheng needs to improve the engine design based on the test data, gradually perfecting this engine design.
After repeating this work countless tis, a perfect Curvature Engine will be born.
Now Jiang Cheng is still in the initial phase of work. In his journey of researching Curvature Engines, he still has a long and difficult road ahead.
Ji Su is now standing in front of a Curvature Engine, preparing for the pre-test work.
This Curvature Engine is very large, almost filling up the entire room.
If it weren't the largest room in the laboratory, it probably wouldn't fit this experintal engine.
After all, the Curvature Engine is ant for use on spacecraft, so it can't be small.
This engine is just a relatively junior Curvature Engine, so its size isn't particularly large.
If it were a high-grade Curvature Engine capable of hundredfold acceleration, its size might be as large as a small building.
Jiang Cheng checked the connections on the engine and started the test.
"Lucy, prepare to start the engine test. Make sure to record all the data."
The first experintal engine testing begins!
After Jiang Cheng gave the order, Lucy started the energy transmission lines to begin delivering energy to the engine.
When the energy was transmitted through the lines into the engine, the experintal engine in front of Jiang Cheng began to flicker with different colors of light.
The lights represent increasing space wrinkles, and the entire space distance is starting to shorten.
Being inside the engine's zone, Jiang Cheng didn't feel anything, as only the relative distance is shortened.
Those within the influence range of the engine will be unaffected, as there's no difference from being in normal space.
When the different colors of light on the engine started to grow larger, it indicated the engine's power had reached its maximum.
By then, the space in Zhou Country covered by the engine had relatively shortened twentyfold.
If this were on a spacecraft now, the speed would have increased by twenty tis.
However, since the engine is presently in a fixed position, there's no actual movent.
Currently, the only way to asure the space changes is through testing instrunts.
"Master, the first experintal engine has reached maximum power, and the space fold test aligns with expectations. This engine ets the design requirents," Lucy reported to Jiang Cheng, informing him about the experintal engine's current status.
Jiang Cheng, hearing Lucy's report, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, continue to maintain maximum power to see how long this engine can run."
Though the data from the first experintal engine t design requirents, it doesn't an Jiang Cheng's experint was successful.
This was only a short-run test, revealing no issues.
When it operates at full power for longer, various problems are bound to occur.
These problems are what Jiang Cheng needs to solve; the entire research process is about discovering and solving problems.
An engine must run for an extended period to et Jiang Cheng's standards.
"Master, the engine paraters are starting to fluctuate. Several indicators have exceeded the warning line. Should we terminate this test?"
After running for a few minutes, the first experintal engine encountered so issues.
Lucy imdiately inford Jiang Cheng of the current situation and asked if the experint should be terminated.
By now, the flickering light on the experintal engine was starting to beco unstable, indicating indeed so issues had arisen.
Just by looking at the engine's current state, it's clear it will soon stop functioning, suggesting the engine isn't stable yet, only running for a few minutes.
Such an engine can't be used; sothing that runs only for a few minutes is risky to install on a spacecraft.
It needs to run for at least hundreds of hours to be practical; otherwise, it's just a failed prototype.
From the current situation, Jiang Cheng's first experintal engine can be considered a failure.
But this was expected, so Jiang Cheng's mood didn't fluctuate at all.
He calmly gave the follow-up order to Lucy: "Stop the energy input and terminate this test.
