Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 809 - 808: Resolution

Since the No.1 experimental engine already has problems, there's no need to continue testing.

Continuing to input energy might just cause this engine to explode.

The explosion of a curvature engine is no laughing matter; it could cause space distortion, and even Jiang Cheng couldn't handle it then.

After receiving the command, Lucy immediately sprang into action, cutting off the energy supply to the No.1 experimental engine and disconnecting all input interfaces.

Without an energy source, the curvature engine quickly stopped operating, and the various colors of light around it disappeared instantly.

To prevent the experimental engine from causing space distortion, Jiang Cheng ultimately decided to terminate this test.

Although the first test ended in failure, Jiang Cheng did not feel any frustration.

The development process of this kind of engine is meant to identify defects through continuous failure and ultimately develop a reliable engine.

This failure is not entirely meaningless; Jiang Cheng can gather a lot of experience from it.

Now what he needs to do is understand the cause of this failure and strive to improve the design of the engine.

Lucy, analyze all the test data and find out the cause of the engine's instability.

Jiang Cheng quickly began the work of summarizing experiences, aiming to obtain enough insights from the failed experiment.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's command, Lucy mobilized a considerable amount of computational power to analyze the data from this experiment.

The analytical capability of artificial intelligence is indeed different, and before long the final answer was derived.

"Master, the final results have been analyzed."

The J7 node of the No.1 engine just experienced some energy transmission issues, causing energy accumulation that ultimately affected the entire operation of the engine.

It was actually just a minor problem at a node that resulted in a problem with the whole engine's operation.

After listening to Lucy's analysis, Jiang Cheng pondered for a while and then said:

"The J7 node, huh? It seems space folds influenced it, creating problems in energy transmission.

Have the robots come over to dispose of this scrapped engine; let's go work on improvements."

With that, Jiang Cheng left the room, ready to solve this problem with handson work.

The engine was completely scrapped after the recent test.

The black smoke coming from the engine was enough for Jiang Cheng to determine its condition, without needing further testing.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng ordered Lucy to dispatch robots to dispose of the engine.

Once the curvature engine is scrapped, it loses all value for recycling or reuse.

Jiang Cheng never holds on to such worthless scraps, so he quickly tells Lucy to handle it, avoiding impact on subsequent tests.

Soon, several robots entered the room, lifting the still-smoking engine and slowly carried it out.

This scrapped engine contained about a ton of platinum, but it's now impossible to recover.

Due to the influence of space folds, the properties of the platinum changed drastically, and it can no longer be called platinum.

Thus, the curvature engine can't be recycled; once scrapped, it's completely reduced to waste.

Jiang Cheng will quickly solve this problem and manufacture a new experimental engine.

It's likely that the No.2 experimental engine will fail, meaning another ton of platinum might be wasted.

Only Jiang Cheng would conduct an experiment that wastes a ton of platinum each time it fails.

Wasting a ton of platinum every time; this is simply the most expensive wasteful act.

Despite the steep cost of such waste, Jiang Cheng must undertake this pricy endeavor.

This waste is entirely necessary for the development of the curvature engine; it's an unavoidable step for Jiang Cheng.

Fortunately, all this platinum was mined by Jiang Cheng's people, so he doesn't feel bad wasting it.

Otherwise, anyone conducting an experiment wasting a ton of platinum would feel heartbroken.

Afterward, Jiang Cheng conducted several more tests, each failing for various reasons.

(Zhao Zhao Zhao) After every failure, the curvature engine was scrapped, along with all the platinum used inside.

Every time a test failed, Jiang Cheng would summarize experiences, make improvements, and continue testing.

It's like Jiang Cheng is throwing ton after ton of platinum into the water, with no visible hope of success.

If some women who love gold and silver jewelry saw this scene, who knows how much they would hate Jiang Cheng.

If this platinum were given to them, Jiang Cheng might be able to do anything he wanted with them.

Taking the Earth's most precious metal, platinum, and tossing it ton by ton into the water, anyone watching would find it unbearable. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, Jiang Cheng knows that these failures are valuable; without finding errors through failure, achieving final success is impossible.

Jiang Cheng spent over seven months in the laboratory to design a sufficiently stable curvature engine.

During these seven months, Jiang Cheng made countless improvements to the experimental engine and conducted an untold number of tests.

But the test results couldn't satisfy Jiang Cheng; these experimental engines always had issues preventing long-term full-load operation.

The platinum wasted over these months already amounted to several hundred tons.

If news of Jiang Cheng wasting so much platinum spread, who knows how many would deem him prodigal.

Despite the drop in platinum prices due to Mars mining, platinum remains a rare earth metal with a relatively high price.

At least the current price of platinum on Earth is still considerable, slightly lower than gold.

If Jiang Cheng exchanged all the platinum wasted in developing the curvature engine for money, the cost would be astronomical.

Such a behavior is akin to throwing money into the water, and still driving truckloads to dump money into it.

But Jiang Cheng's wasted platinum wasn't in vain, because he's made significant progress on the curvature engine.

Numerous failures have allowed Jiang Cheng to identify previous design shortcomings, constantly improving new designs.

The hundreds of tons of wasted platinum can be considered Jiang Cheng's tuition fee.

The curvature engine is a highly advanced technology, difficult to develop with current human capabilities.

This technology is typically accessible to civilizations that have initially ventured into the cosmos.

For contemporary humans, this technology remains a bit too advanced.
