Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 92 Hundred Explosions
Even though there is a vacuum environment on Luoshen and no shock wave, the earthquake caused by the explosion and the flying debris caused heavy damage to the buildings around the laboratory.

Even the clones died, more than twenty of them.

Not only that, the modular nuclear fission reactor was also completely destroyed, and the nuclear fuel inside was scattered, causing the radiation in the surrounding area to rise to a terrifying level.

Li Qingsong felt helpless.

He had anticipated that the first experiment would be unlikely to succeed, but he hadn't expected it to fail so completely.

"It exploded immediately... What went wrong? The magnetic field should be strong enough to contain it, so it shouldn't have exploded..."

Li Qingsong thought in his mind and immediately organized clones to collect the wreckage, conduct technical analysis, and quickly repair the on-site buildings.

All the rocks, building materials, debris, etc. that were contaminated by the nuclear power were taken away, and a new layer of floor was laid, and the problem of nuclear contamination was solved.

Anyway, there is no atmosphere on Luoshen, so there is no need to worry about nuclear pollutants spreading through the atmosphere.

On Earth, if an experiment killed more than 20 people and even caused serious nuclear pollution, it would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering event, and the entire project might even be shelved.

But for Li Qingsong, twenty or so clones don’t matter.

This failure did not affect the entire project's research at all. In fact, not far from here, the second experiment was still underway.

After collecting the wreckage and analyzing it, Li Qingsong finally confirmed that the cause of the explosion was not insufficient strength of the magnetic field constraint, but excessive pressure that exceeded expectations.

The reason for the excessive pressure is that the heating rate of the nuclear fission reactor is not well controlled.

The plasmas were heated to too high a temperature and the binding force was insufficient, so they spread like explosives with their extremely high internal energy, and the huge shock wave directly destroyed the entire facility.

"That's a problem."

Li Qingsong thought silently: "Maybe we need to add a temperature control device."

While solving this problem, another experimental base was hit by another earth-shattering explosion.

Failed again.

"What went wrong this time? Hmm... the magnetic confinement device is unstable? No, we need to continue adjusting it."

Because they still failed to control the high-temperature and high-pressure plasma, they turned into bombs again and directly blew up their hiding place.

To achieve higher thrust, you need to control higher energy. And things with higher energy, if controlled well, can produce stable output and contribute far greater efficiency than before.

If it is not controlled well, it will be a bomb that can destroy everything.

Fortunately, we are on the surface of Luoshen. If a spaceship's engine exploded in space, it would be a disaster.

Li Qingsong was not discouraged and continued to repeat the repair process and then started the experiment again.

For a moment, the various experimental bases on Luoshen Star were like conducting weapons tests, with explosions occurring one after another.

Often, a base would be repaired and then bombed again within a few days. It would be repaired again, and then bombed again not long after it was repaired.

This research method is intolerable in the human world. However, it's undeniable that this method, regardless of cost or investment, exposes all flaws through practice, and possesses the highest efficiency. Thus, after being bombed over a hundred times, Li Qingsong's newly constructed secondary booster finally stopped exploding.

In order to solve the explosion problem, Li Qingsong summarized, optimized and improved more than 10,000 details during the continuous explosions, comprehensively improved the material performance, improved the stability of the device, and even overhauled the overall structure three times.

However, although they no longer exploded, they still did not work properly.

All kinds of inexplicable shutdowns, vibrations, voltage instability, overloads, and overheating problems occurred one after another, leaving Li Qingsong overwhelmed.

There is no other way, we have to fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.

Often, an engine would inexplicably stop after just a few minutes of operation, and then a group of clones would rush over, dismantle it directly, carefully check every component and every structure, determine the type of fault, and reassemble it after solving the problem. Then, it would not run for long before stopping again, and then be checked again, and so on.

Moreover, Li Qingsong built not one but 100 such test sites!
100 testing machines are running and shutting down day and night, and 100 research teams are on duty day and night, not daring to slack off at all.

Under such circumstances, three years passed slowly.

Laboratory 67.

In the vacuum test field, bright blue flames continuously spewed out from the huge nozzle.

Numerous pipes and lines extend from the even larger engine module, which is composed of three sets of equipment: a fission reactor, a chemical engine, and a secondary pressurization device.

One of the lines was connected to a monitor with numbers constantly jumping on it.

One of them is time. At this moment, it has been advancing little by little from 23:58:55 to the current ::.

Another number shows its propulsion power.

The constant change in propulsion power creates a continuously changing curve with minimal fluctuations, close to a straight line.

When the time finally reached 24:0:0, the slight shaking of the earth gradually subsided, and the bright blue flame gradually disappeared.

It stopped advancing smoothly.

Looking at the extremely stable propulsion power curve in front of him - its stability means that the propulsion output of the secondary pressurization thruster is always stable, Li Qingsong's heart was filled with joy.

It's been three years!
After three years of painstaking research day and night, we have finally created the first secondary pressurized engine that can work stably for 24 hours!

At this stage, although it is still not mature, it has at least qualified for the next stage, large-scale practical application testing.

"Then we'll build a batch of cargo ships powered by secondary compression engines to carry out cargo flights from Enemy Star to Rosen Star!

Whatever hidden dangers or flaws this engine has, they will be exposed as long as the total propulsion time is long enough."

Li Qingsong was too lazy to test, optimize, and adjust them bit by bit like in the human world, until the risks were reduced to the lowest before launching them into the market.

Again, actual application is the best way to test an engine.

As for the hidden danger... What hidden danger? Isn't it just a spaceship? Let it blow up. I can build it!
