Chapter 732: Engine experiment

In the process of developing the curvature engine, Ye Su probably would waste a lot of platinum.
The technology of the curvature engine is very complicated, and it may not be successful to manufacture many units.
Once platinum is used on the curvature engine, it cannot be recycled again.
So the next Ye Su experiment was a process of wasting a lot of platinum.
In the development process of the curvature engine, platinum is a consumable.
Using platinum as a consumable for experiments can be said to be the most luxurious.
Fortunately, the mining work on Mars has not stopped in the past few years. After the platinum was mined, it was all transported back to the earth and then stored in a centralized manner.
After a long period of accumulation, Ye Su has now stored a lot of platinum, enough for him to squander in the experiment.
Soon Ye Su called and sent countless materials, all of which were necessary materials for the manufacture of a curvature engine.
Of course, a large amount of platinum was sent over as a consumable for the next Ye Su experiment.
Ye Su looked at the mountains of platinum ingots in the laboratory, his eyes were a little bit glaring.
Next is the time for Ye Su to waste the platinum. Fortunately, Ye Su doesn't care about the value of the platinum.
He doesn't know how much platinum is piled up, and it won't hurt to waste it.
Before officially starting to manufacture, what Ye Su did was design work.
In this respect, Ye Su can't be troubled at all. He has done a lot of curvature engine designs in the previous life.
The real suffering is the subsequent manufacturing work, any mistake will make the entire engine scrapped.
To develop a highly stable curvature engine, Ye Su may need to build many experimental engines.
These experimental engines are a process of accumulating experience, and they are also an indispensable failure on the road to success.
Within a few days, Ye Su completed the design work and drew all the drawings of the curvature engine.
Next is the time for Ye Su to roll up his sleeves and work hard. It is not an easy buddy to build a curvature engine.
Fortunately, Ye Su has Rem's help, allowing her to control all the equipment.
Ye Su only needs to give guidance on one side, and does not need him to do the work himself.
Soon Ye Su completed the manufacturing of the first curvature engine, and also consumed some materials piled in the laboratory.
After completing the manufacturing of the first experimental engine, it is not that Ye Su has completed all the work.
The reliability of this kind of experimental engine is very poor, it will be scrapped after running for too long, and it cannot be installed on a spacecraft at all.
A reliable engine requires countless experimental engines to open the circuit before it can be developed.
In fact, his research and development work has just begun, and Ye Su needs to sum up his experience from countless failures before he can create a curvature engine that can be used.
After completing the manufacture of the first experimental engine, the next stage is the testing phase.
After the test is completed, Ye Su needs to improve the design of the engine based on the test data, and perfect the design of the engine little by little.
After repeating this work countless times, a perfect curvature engine will be born.
Ye Su is still working on the initial stage. He still has a long way to go in the development of the curvature engine.
Ye Su is now standing in front of a curvature engine, preparing for the test.
This curvature engine is so big that it almost fills the entire room.
Had it not been for the entire room to be the largest room in the laboratory, I would not be able to fit this experimental engine.
The curvature engine is after all equipment used by spacecraft, and of course its size is not much smaller.
This engine is only a relatively rudimentary curvature engine, so the volume is not particularly large.
If it is the kind of advanced curvature engine that can accelerate hundreds of times, the volume is probably the size of a small building.
Ye Su checked the lines connected to the engine and then started this test.
"Rem, ready to start engine testing, pay attention to record all the data."
"Experimental engine No. 1 starts testing!"
After Ye Su's order was given, Rem activated the energy transmission line and began to send energy to the engine.
After the energy was transmitted along the line to the engine, the experimental engine in front of Ye Su began to flash with different colors.
These lights represent that the folds of the space are increasing, and the distance of the entire space is beginning to be shortened.
Ye Su, who was within the range of the engine, didn't feel anything, because only the relative distance was shortened.
Ye Su, who was in the engine's range of influence, would not be affected in any way, and it was no different from being in a normal space.
When the light of different colors on the engine starts to increase, that is, when the power of the engine reaches its maximum.
At this time, the space around the engine has been relatively shortened twenty times.
If it were on a spaceship now, the speed would have increased twenty times.
But now the engine is in a fixed position, so there is no change.
Now only through the test equipment can the changes in space be tested.
"Master, now the experimental engine No. 1 has reached its maximum power, and the space fold test is in line with expectations. This engine has met the design requirements."
Rem is reporting the test data to Ye Su, letting Ye Su understand the specific situation of the current experimental engine.
After Ye Su heard Rem's report, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, continue to maintain the maximum power and see how long this engine can run."
The test data of Experimental Engine No. 1 met the design requirements, and it does not mean that Ye Su's experiment was successful.
Now this is only a short-term operation, and there is no problem at all.
After running at full power for a long time, various problems will definitely occur.
And these problems are what Ye Su needs to solve. The entire R&D process is to discover and solve problems.
If an engine can run for a long time, it can meet Ye Su's requirements.
