At the beginning of the design of Deep Blue Company's Night Owl 1, in order to lift this behemoth into the air, even the Eagle Country, which claims to have the most advanced engine technology in the world, had to install eight more engines on the hull.

So before the Night Owl 1 crashed, it looked like a heavy lump of iron.

Because most of both sides of the hull are occupied by the engine.

The first warship capable of taking off that Daxia is currently preparing to build is very different from the Ye Xiao No. 1.

Because Lu Chuan's goal is to use the powerful energy of the purple element to install as few engines as possible on the hull to lift the warship into the air.

Therefore, when designing the engine, the Scientific Research Bureau had already decided in advance that it would never allow the first battleship to have more than four engines.

This not only reduces the weight, but also improves the overall stability, while also saving a lot of space on the battleship itself.

But in this case, the problem is handed over to Lu Chuan and the Scientific Research Bureau.

Because the requirements for the engine are much higher than those on the Ye Xiao-1.

After learning that the Yingjiang Kingdom's engine blueprints were of no practical use to Daxia, Lu Chuan no longer had any hope for this pile of waste paper.

It only refers to a very small part of the seemingly useful data.

Then we relied on scientific research and our own research and development almost from scratch.

Fortunately, the Scientific Research Bureau had previously helped the space center develop ultra-high-power rocket propulsion systems, so with the help of previous experience, the research and development process this time can be regarded as getting twice the result with half the effort.

So only a few months later, the Scientific Research Bureau came up with the first engine prototype that could be tested.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom now possesses tens of thousands of liters of purple fuel, because meteorites cannot be copied, purple fuel is extremely precious to the Great Xia Kingdom.

For this reason, the industry requires the scientific research bureau to only use ordinary aviation fuel when testing the engine in the early stage.

But this is not a problem. As long as the engine's power when using ordinary fuel can be accurately calculated, the power after using purple fuel can be calculated.

When we first started testing the engine, the test results surprised everyone.

Because the power of the first prototype developed by the Scientific Research Bureau actually met the requirements when it was tested using ordinary aviation fuel.

In other words, the engine designed by Lu Chuan can now send the battleship into space even if it does not use purple fuel and only has four such engines on a battleship.

But the disadvantage is that ordinary fuel cannot sustain the long-term fuel demand of a spacecraft.

This is why Yingjiang Country dared to let Ye Xiao No. 1 enter space after using element 115.

After each of the previous tests of the engine, Lu Chuan would upgrade the engine.

Finally, when Lu Chuan thought that the engine had reached perfect condition, he applied to Guangda Industry for testing using purple fuel.

Guangda Industry immediately allocated one liter of purple fuel to Lu Chuan, but even this liter was enough for the engine to conduct hundreds of tests.

Because when purple fuel is used, it must be blended with ordinary fuel. Otherwise, if purple fuel is used completely, the powerful energy contained in purple fuel is like a small nuclear bomb. If you are not careful, it will not only destroy

The engine is so simple.

Before the test started on this day, in addition to Li Shengdong and Guang Guangye, many high-level personnel from Daxia Kingdom came to the scene.

At this moment, even Lu Chuan himself doesn't know what kind of effect the latest engine will have after using purple fuel.

Therefore, everyone at the scene was full of expectations and looked forward to seeing the engine perform well enough.

After Lu Chuan ordered the staff to fill the purple fuel into the fuel tank, the ignition countdown started on the large screen at the scene.

Everyone held their breath, because they all knew that if the test was successful, the engine in front of them would be Daxia's first step into space.

The countdown on the screen came to an end, and with Lu Chuan's order, the engine immediately sprayed out red flames.

Then the red flame slowly turned into light blue.

This is because the temperature of the flame injected by the engine is gradually increasing.

At this time, the engine power displayed on the screen is also rising.

At the same time, Lu Chuan explained through the microphone to the senior officials watching the scene.

"Currently we are only using one-third of the engine's power. If we carry four such engines on the warship, the values ​​currently displayed on the screen will be enough to send our warship into space."

When the senior staff at the scene heard this, they couldn't help but stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Because this already indicates that Daxia has the ability to send warships into space.

However, something happened at this time that no one, including Lu Chuan, expected.

Lu Chuan just ordered to continue to increase the power of the engine.

A few seconds later, it was suddenly discovered that the flames sprayed from the rear of the engine turned an astonishing purple color.

The moment the purple flame appeared, the engine power value on the screen immediately turned red.

This change made the senior staff at the scene nervous. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at each other.

Because most of them thought that there was a problem with the engine during testing.

But only Lu Chuan and some scientific researchers became excited at this time.

Because they know that the red on the screen at this moment does not mean warning or danger.

It's because the engine's power at this moment has exploded.

Including Lu Chuan, all scientific researchers have never seen any engine in the world that can emit purple flames.

Before this, people in this world judged whether an engine was powerful enough by looking at whether the engine's flame was blue or white.

Purple is a color that no one dares to think of, because purple flames can reach an astonishing temperature of seven thousand degrees.

Even as the engine sprayed out purple flames, the bracket holding the engine shook.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately shut down the entire test system.

Everyone present frowned.

But at this time, through the glass window of the control room, they saw the scientific researchers inside screaming and hugging excitedly.

Everyone didn't understand what happened.
Chapter completed!
