Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Finally, with the help of the simplified machine and several miners equipped with exoskeletons, the stuck Titan finally escaped smoothly, and the test was resumed smoothly.

This time, however, it was the driver, not the miner, who drove the prototype Titan.

After all, it is a real Titan, and you must receive professional training to drive it. It is not something that ordinary miners can play.

After seeing the mining efficiency of the real Titan, both the miners and the technicians in the mine are full of praise for this large machine, especially seeing that the Titan can continue to break the rock wall while using the two The mechanical Da'ao kept stuffing the ore into the mine cabin behind the belly, which made their eyes shine even more.

Although the development of modern technology has freed the industrial and mining industry from primitive and heavy manual labor, but in the current environment, this mine still adopts a relatively primitive manual labor model.

Workers use wind picks to destroy the structure of the rock wall, breaking it into ore, and then manually loading the ore into the mine truck, and then transporting it from the ground to the ground.

It’s not that the mines don’t want to use new technologies, but that they really don’t have the money to purchase new mining equipment. Although the country is also vigorously organizing production, such things are always in short supply. When the factories produce them, they must first use them in large mines that are urgently needed. Small mines like this with a small amount of mining can only rely on wind picks and manpower.

This has no other advantages, the only advantages are low labor costs and cheap equipment.

But this does not mean that people in the mine do not want to have good labor tools that can improve their labor efficiency.

Just looking at the prototype, although the eyes of the workers were bright, the technician could only smile wryly in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​buying this.

Of course he can see that the prototype is good, but he can also see how expensive the prototype is. Even if such a valuable item is really mass-produced, it is not something they, a small mine, can afford.

In contrast, he felt that the simplified machine seen below was more likely to be equipped for the mine.

"Master, do you think these two big clamps for picking up ore are necessary?" Chen Xin found the former foreman and asked him.

The foreman carefully stared at the two big turtles under the prototype machine, and then nodded seriously to Chen Xin and said, "It is very necessary. With this, we can drill all the time without stopping to pick up ores."

Obviously, the foreman is very satisfied and yearning for this design that can save a lot of work.

However, he also understands that things like prototypes are not something they can think about, so he added: "Actually, I think the previous one was pretty good, and it would be great to improve the design. This one is good, but it's too big. It’s not realistic to use it underground.”

Hearing what the foreman said, Chen Xin glanced at the huge prototype machine in front of him, thinking that it would get stuck in the tunnel just now, it was hard to disagree with the foreman's words.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that this was indeed the case. The huge Titan was huge, even if the mining type deliberately shrunk its size.

Compared with the structure and volume of the simplified machine, which is basically similar to the exoskeleton, and the height and size of the prototype machine, Chen Xin also thinks that the smaller one is more practical in the mine.

After all, in the narrow mine tunnel, once a large machine like the prototype machine gets stuck, the impact will be comparable to a mine disaster.

The simplified machine is different. The relatively small structure also brings lighter weight, so that it will not delay things due to its large size when encountering danger.

So after this field test, Chen Xin already had an idea for the mass production of mining Titans.

After the test in the mine was over, Chen Xin and his party returned to the research center.

The huge prototype machine was naturally driven into the warehouse and still on standby, but the simplified machine was dragged to the laboratory, ready to put the ideas just generated into practice immediately.

The mechanical arm that had been removed was added back, and the mining bucket reopened a mine entrance, which was placed between the two mechanical arms, which looked quite like the front face of a crab.

Seeing this design, Chen Xin didn't hesitate for a long time, and killed the design draft.

This kind of thing that looks like adding back the original design only solves the current problem, but does not solve the previous problem. Otherwise, the design sketch that Chen Xin saw would not just copy the design of the prototype. .

However, although the manuscript was killed, Chen Xin gave his plan.

"It's good to design the two robotic arms so that they can turn 180 degrees." Chen Xin directly modified the performance on the design drawing submitted by the researcher, and said: "You don't need to stick to the ore from the mouth below." Put it in, just let the mechanical arm turn 180°, and then throw it into the mine bucket! We are building industrial machines, and we don’t need to be too novel or reflect high-tech design. It can run smoothly, or solve the problem. Very good."

Hearing this, the researcher suddenly felt that his thinking had been broadened, and at the same time, he also understood that Chen Xin's method of directly turning the mechanical arm 180° was far simpler and more direct than his own idea of ​​opening the door on the mine hopper , but it also solves the problem that workers need to bend down many times a day and the ore in the mine bucket will slip.

"Academician, can this be finalized for production?" Looking at the design drawings that have been modified by Chen Xin, the researcher asked Chen Xin.

Because the devices manufactured by Chen Xin are usually mass-produced after the design drawing is released, and Chen Xin rarely modifies his own design many times, so the researcher asked this question.

However, Chen Xin didn't answer this question, but just shook his head at him.

"After the modification, make a few prototypes, send them to the previous mine, continue to test, and record the feedback of all workers after use." Chen Xin instructed the technicians.

The technicians naturally understood that the prototype needs to be tested, so they nodded and took the blueprint without asking any more questions.

Watching the technicians leave, Chen Xin rubbed his chin and felt that although the prototype machine was not mass-produced, it didn't mean it was completely useless.

Although its design has certain problems and deficiencies, it is undeniable that this non-humanoid Titan design has opened up Chen Xin's thinking and given him new ideas for Titan design.

"Practice with this first, let's remodel it! After all, it is a product that consumes so many resources, and it would be too wasteful to just pile it up in the warehouse." Chen Xin waved his hand and projected that machine with nano-molecules. The structure of the prototype machine began to think about how to modify it.
