The entire experiment took a long time.
While the researchers rested during the experiment, Lü Yongchang looked up at the data from previous experiments in the enormous Holographic Projection and slowly shook his head.
"Too small."
"Professor, what did you say?" Tao Yuda, who was processing data nearby, pricked up his ears. He looked in surprise at Lü Yongchang, who stood with his hands behind his back, and asked quietly, "What's too small?"
"The gravitational field." Lü Yongchang chuckled and spread his hands. "Or rather, the spacetime curvature."
"This degree of spacetime curvature is nowhere near enough to build a Warp Drive."
Tao Yuda set aside his work and replied quietly, "If increasing the gravitational field strength were enough to build a Warp Drive, this would all be far too simple."
"We'd only need to scale up the Gravitational Field Generator."
Lü Yongchang smiled without agreeing or disagreeing.
Tao Yuda was right.
Everything the Academy of Sciences was doing at present was merely laying a solid foundation for the towering structure that would be the Warp Drive.
The various readings produced by the successful operation of the Gravitational Field Generator laid a sound foundation for the Academy of Sciences' subsequent research.
Not a moment was wasted.
The instant the experiment ended, Lü Yongchang led everyone at the Academy of Sciences into researching the second-generation Gravitational Field Generator.
According to the planned target, the second-generation Gravitational Field Generator would produce a gravitational field on par with the Sun's.
Compared with the first generation, this was an enormous improvement.
But according to Lü Yongchang's earlier calculations, the spacetime curvature produced by a gravitational field of this strength would still be insufficient to propel a spacecraft into Curvature Navigation!
Even so, the development process still encountered numerous difficulties.
