Chapter 287 Test it out
In just a month and a half.
Relying on his own intelligence and the powerful assistance of the system, Su Chen successfully manufactured the basic version of the Space Warp Engine!
This was nearly twice as fast as the originally estimated three months.
As for the reason behind this!
On one hand, it was naturally due to the immense help from the system; the various theoretical knowledge and technical support previously provided by the system had laid a solid foundation for this manufacturing process!
Furthermore, during some of the initial manufacturing work, Su Chen had inadvertently overcome the difficult parts of the Space Warp Engine, which was like clearing a critical level, allowing the subsequent manufacturing process to be greatly accelerated.
On the other hand, the Space Warp Engine manufactured was only a basic model; its range for distorting and folding space-time was not large, and it still had a significant gap compared to the ideal, fully realized engine capable of achieving ultra-long-distance Space Jump.
However, the beginning is always the hardest part; as long as this basic Space Warp Engine could successfully pass the trials and meet all test indicators, then manufacturing a truly more powerful Space Warp Engine with a wider jump range would just be a matter of time.
Su Chen was already impatient at this moment.
He was thinking about quickly taking it for a test to see what the actual results would be like.
But just at this moment, the phone placed to the side suddenly rang, and the ringtone seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet research base.
Su Chen hurriedly picked up the phone to look, and one look startled him; the screen showed hundreds of missed calls.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
During this time, he had been focused on manufacturing the Space Warp Engine and hadn't had time to check his phone!
He hadn't expected that so many missed calls had accumulated!
While thinking this, he pressed the answer button, and the familiar and slightly anxious voice of Elder Qin immediately rang out from the other side: "You brat, you finally answered the phone."
Su Chen froze for a moment, only then realizing that it was Elder Qin who had called.
He hadn't noticed the caller ID just now!
Su Chen grinned sheepishly and said: "I've been too busy lately and didn't check my phone. Elder Qin, is there something you called about?"
Elder Qin seemed to have something important to discuss with Su Chen, and his tone revealed a hint of seriousness as he said: "When are you free? I will come to find you personally. This matter is quite important! I need to tell you in person!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen calculated in his mind that from the capital to his location, even if taking a high-speed Space Mecha, it would still take a significant amount of time. Seeing Elder Qin so anxious, he raised an eyebrow, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "I'll come to find you instead. You wait for me at the 312 Air Force Base!"
Elder Qin hurriedly said: "No, I heard from Commander Liu Chengzhi that you are busy with a very major research project recently. How can I let you come over? I'll come over instead, you wait for me."
Elder Qin thought to himself that he couldn't let this matter delay the important research Su Chen was conducting.
After all, this concerned the future development of the country, so he insisted on making the trip himself.
Su Chen continued to smile: "The research is already finished, and I just happen to want to test it. You wait for me."
Elder Qin was slightly stunned and secretly surprised: "Finished so quickly?"
He estimated the time in his mind; it had been less than two months in total. What kind of major research could be completed so quickly!
He had thought that Commander Liu Chengzhi was exaggerating to him!
He had originally been full of anticipation to see Su Chen's major achievement, but now he felt that his anticipation had been somewhat disappointed!
However, he didn't understand the specific research situation. Hearing that Su Chen was ready to conduct an experiment, he thought about it and decided to go along with Su Chen's idea, saying: "Alright, then I will wait for you at the 312 Air Force Base."
Su Chen nodded, and as if remembering something, added: "By the way, the upcoming test is somewhat sensitive, so please try to keep it confidential!"
Elder Qin was just about to say, 'My Dragon Nation is now the world's number one power, do we still need to be this confidential?'
But as soon as this thought emerged, he immediately realized that he was getting too carried away.
No matter when, when it comes to important scientific research achievements and tests, confidentiality work certainly cannot be sloppy!
So he obediently said: "Alright, we'll do as you say! By the way, about how long will it take for you to arrive?"
While speaking, Su Chen was already walking towards the Space Mecha parked next to the Space Warp device, and replied casually: "Wait one minute for me!"
Elder Qin was stunned upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief, and he said loudly: "One minute? So fast?"
"I can't even get to the 312 Base!"
"No! Are you near the 312 Base? How can you be so fast? Even if you take a Space Mecha, it's impossible to be this fast, right?"
Elder Qin was full of doubts, unable to understand how Su Chen could arrive within one minute; after all, the distance was not short.
Su Chen just smiled: "This has to be kept confidential for now. Where are you?"
Elder Qin replied: "I am currently on the Aerospace Carrier with General Zhao Yong!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up and he said: "That's perfect! Give me the coordinates of the center deck of the Aerospace Carrier."
At this moment, General Zhao Yong's voice rang out, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "This brat, isn't telling him a location enough? Why does he need something as precise as coordinates?"
Although he said that, he still very cooperatively had his subordinates send the coordinates to Su Chen.
After receiving the coordinates, Su Chen said again: "Is the deck at these coordinates empty?"
Elder Qin heard this, looked outside through the window of the command room, and after looking around, replied: "There are a few mechas parked there!"
Su Chen hurriedly said: "Move those mechas away; I need the deck to be kept clear."
Hearing this, Elder Qin and General Zhao Yong were both stunned. The two looked at each other, very puzzled as to why Su Chen would make such a request!
However, they had always trusted Su Chen. Since Su Chen said so, there must be a reason for it, so they obediently followed Su Chen's order and quickly arranged for people to move all the mechas off the deck!
Ensuring the deck was empty and clear.
With the deck cleared, Elder Qin picked up the phone again and asked Su Chen: "About how long until you can get here?"
At this moment, Su Chen was already sitting inside the Space Mecha and had carefully placed the manufactured Space Warp Engine into the modified Space Mecha cabin!
While doing the final preparations, he pressed a button.
Instantly, ripples of energy were generated around the Space Warp Engine, and the energy fluctuations spread out in circles. At this moment, the surrounding space seemed to have twisted, appearing as a strange scene.
Su Chen's voice also slowly rang out at this moment: "Five!"
Elder Qin heard it on the other end of the phone and subconsciously nodded, thinking to himself: "Five minutes? This speed is fast enough, how did he do it?"
Immediately following, Su Chen's voice continued to ring out: "Four."
Elder Qin was suddenly stunned, muttering to himself: "Five minutes, or four minutes? What exactly does this mean?"
Su Chen continued the countdown unhurriedly: "Three."
Elder Qin and General Zhao Yong were now completely confused, looking at each other with faces full of doubt, completely unable to understand what Su Chen was up to!
And at this moment, Su Chen's voice continued: "Two." "One."
