The Sun Moon Empire had no Super Douluos. Otherwise, with a Super Douluo's strength, having one participate in the experiments might actually have led to success.
But that was nothing more than wishful thinking. Other people might not know the Sun Moon Empire's situation, but how could Jing Hongchen not know?
The strongest person in the entire Sun Moon Empire was Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, and even now, he was only at Level 94. He spent year after year in secluded cultivation, and no one knew whether he could successfully break through.
