Mecha Journey

Yang Mu led the team to stand and looked up at the big screen. The old man standing in front of the console slowly spoke.

"I announce that this mecha design competition has officially begun. I hope that all elites from different countries can do their best to design the best mecha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man pushed the chip into the card slot with his finger, and the countdown on the screen also returned to zero. All the screens suddenly changed, and then a question with pictures and text appeared.

"Please improve the transmission system of the giant ape mecha, and increase the performance by at least 20%. The one with the greatest improvement in transmission performance will win." Several paragraphs of questions in various common languages ​​were written, and at the same time, the giant ape mecha appeared below. picture of.

At the same time, the ground in the center of the stadium began to change. A platform of about ten square meters rose in front of each design position. On it stood a tall and sturdy giant ape mecha. Next to the mecha was various spare materials.

When the question was opened, everyone was in an uproar, and the commentator was immediately surprised. He bluntly said that the question proposed by the competition committee this time was unprecedented and extremely difficult.

Yang Mu also finished reading the question and frowned when he saw that it was about improving the flexibility of the giant ape mecha, and it also required improving the transmission performance of the mecha by at least 20%. Yang Mu quickly Walking to the mechanical platform that had stopped rising, he ignored the tall giant ape mecha painted in yellow and white, but bent down and picked up a material ingot on the platform.

"It's special steel. The carbon content data are unclear." Zhou Zhou also walked over and picked up a material ingot and said with a serious look on his face.

Yang Mu stepped forward to take a look, and found that the other materials were not particularly good. At least there were very few laboratory-level materials, and they were basically military materials with ordinary performance.

However, the improvement of the mecha's transmission system almost always requires the whole body to be redone. Putting aside the issue of time, the materials of these things simply cannot hold up at many stress-bearing points and special positions. The competition team will definitely evaluate the mecha's performance when evaluating the results. Carry out a fatigue test, and if you use it forcefully, it will fail instantly.

Yang Mu frowned, and for the first time he experienced the horror of this competition committee.

Although it seems almost impossible to complete this design with these materials, it is indeed possible. The competition committee has blocked the material space so that everyone can only use their imagination and think of ways to improve themselves. the design of.

Yang Mu raised his head to look at the tall mecha and grinned. Several researchers from the surrounding areas had already gathered around and started proposing various design plans.

At this time, there were even more exclamations in the audience, and many people shook their heads after reading the question and the materials given.

"Dear viewers, this is definitely a design problem that we have never seen before. The all-round design of the transmission system is still on the giant ape mecha. All participating teams have to complete it within twelve hours. This is an extremely difficult task. !”

"Our broadcast room is fortunate to have Feisi, the director of the design department of the PAA Mecha Research Institute. I would like to ask Feisi, the design director, what do you think of this situation?"

In the studio, a handsome short-haired commentator asked a bald middle-aged man with a big belly next to him. The man named Faith squinted his eyes at the moment, scanned the situation on the screen, and then began to analyze.

"This situation is indeed rare. In previous years, the design questions given by the competition committee were mostly about a specific section of components, and this transmission system can be said to be a very important part of the mecha. A slight modification will cause it to be damaged. The entire mecha has become a scrap, and it seems that the competition committee has come up with a trump card this year."

"In the face of such a situation, do you have any design ideas to share with the audience?" the commentator asked immediately.

Faith shook his head with a smile, then took a sip from the water glass next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to fiddle with the rules. The participating team members below are all excellent. I believe they can come up with a very good design plan." .”

When he said this, Faith narrowed his eyes again.

"But, I think we have a greater chance of winning this competition. After all, the leader of our team, Dean Xin Xing, specializes in mecha transmission performance."

"Oh? Does that mean that Dean Xin Xing will have a high chance of winning?" the commentator asked, but Faith smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, the scene has undergone some changes. Some teams have begun to inspect the mechas, while more teams are nervously discussing design plans.

The same is true for Yang Mu and others. At this moment, there is a serious atmosphere among the five people.

"The giant ape mecha is a typical power-type mecha. Although the mecha has good flexibility, its two giant arms will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"This kind of mecha is a mountain mecha. It relies on external things to increase its flexibility. The feasibility of such a question is too low."

Some researchers put forward their own opinions. Although some people complained a few times, no one said they gave up, and they still continued to provide solutions.

"How about changing the lower part? The lower part of this mecha is relatively narrow in design. It can be said that it is used to maintain balance. It should be the easiest to make changes." Zhou Zhou pondered for a moment and put forward his own opinion.

Zhou Zhou was good at engines, and engines and transmissions were closely related, so Zhou Zhou uniquely saw one side of the problem. Several researchers also began to think about the feasibility, but Yang Mu shook his head.

"Let me tell you, the characteristic of this mecha lies in these arms. How about we start by improving the transmission here?" Yang Mu said. Zhou Zhou looked over in confusion, but Yang Mu reached out and patted the person in front of him. Giant ape mecha.

This is a mecha from a very old age, but the design idea is very good. Animal mechas have advantages in many terrains. The design core of this giant ape mecha is almost all placed on the upper body, Yang Muzhi So I am familiar with this mecha, and I also came up with this idea.

This is more or less related to the fact that this mecha was also used in Kunlun Academy. After that, I also referred to this design when designing odd-shaped mechas like the Mulong mecha.

So Yang Mu also has this idea now.

"What's the design idea?" Zhou Zhou asked, and the surrounding team members also looked over. Yang Mu took out the control panel, unlocked it with his fingerprint and pupil pattern, and took out his blueprint for designing the Mu Long mecha.

"This is the first mecha I designed. Its cab is an annular cabin. The circular design requires a lot of force to support the forward movement of its extended limbs, and the transmission system was modified..."

Yang Mu slowly explained his design ideas. According to the transmission characteristics of this mecha, the focus will not change. It is still the upper body, but the lower body will also be designed, proportionally reducing the transmission system of the arms to the lower limbs. When the time comes, This can double improve the performance of the mecha.

After everyone read the plan, they nodded in agreement, but a researcher immediately said: "What about the materials? The materials of this transmission system are not ordinary, right?"

Hitting the nail on the head, everyone returned to another important issue, how to use these low-grade materials to make a transmission system that can support the entire mecha for fatigue testing.

Yang Mu raised his head and looked at everyone, and could only say helplessly: "The only way is to dismantle the mecha first and make small-scale improvements to various internal devices."

As soon as Yang Mu's words came out, Zhou Zhou and others showed heavy looks on their faces.

"You are the captain. Do you want to make the decision to use this plan?" Zhou Zhou said in a deep voice. Yang Mu thought carefully for a few minutes and then nodded heavily.

Everyone understood and started working one after another. The first thing they did was to lay the mecha down, then disassemble it from everywhere, and peel off the original transmission system inside.

An hour has passed unknowingly since the topic was released. The commentators and guests have been discussing how to improve the transmission system for a long time, and the audience has begun to pay attention to the solutions of different teams.

The commentator took a sip of water from the cup and just praised a few teams. Several teams have begun to build parts, especially PAA. Under Xin Xing's organization, they have moved quickly and have begun to improve the mecha.

The commentator habitually glanced at the design position of PAJR, which had been silent for a long time, but suddenly found that those people had already moved. One person got into their experimental giant ape mecha, started it, and then controlled the machine. A lay down directly, and the others began to move forward with various tools. Apparently they were preparing to dismantle the mecha?

"Look at the design of PAJR. They actually put the mecha in there. Look at the heavy tools they have. Are they planning to completely dismantle the mecha?!"

The commentator said something, and Faith next to him also looked over with wide eyes, and the eyes of many people in the field were attracted by this completely different situation.
