Chapter 49: Mecha Test
Although it ended up with four wheels, not the legs that everyone imagined, the perfect upper body still fascinated everyone. The steel profile, long elegant arms, and a large disproportionate head, the mecha at the moment is more like a test subject that has not been revised.
However, the ten mechas are really experimental. Technology is a stage of accumulation, and it is impossible to produce perfect individuals in a short time. They are all made by constantly experimenting, summarizing experience, and constantly optimizing. Of course, there are still some initial design goals, and they will evolve towards the real mecha in the future.
The chassis of the mecha is 70 cm high and has a groove on it, which just allows a person in a space suit to sit in it; there is a body and head that is 1.5 meters high above it. Between the body and the chassis, it is supported by a rotating bearing of about half a meter in diameter. In general, this is a mecha, so there is no doubt! But this mecha is very primitive and really primitive. If there is anything that makes people lit up the eyes, there is only the design of the arms and head. Other places are very rough, rough and messy.
However, no matter what others think, No. 1 walked forward naturally, and his two huge robotic arms drooped, and his big hand spread out to gently hold No. 1 into the groove; however, this groove should be called the cockpit. A huge artificial glass cover slowly closed the cockpit, and then No. 1's gloves fell off automatically and were automatically placed in the storage cabinet by the small robot in the cockpit.
Then a pair of gloves connected to the line were taken to No. 1's hands and perfectly integrated with the spacesuit.
In addition, No. 1's helmet was taken off by a robot, and a new helmet, also connected to the cable, landed on No. 1.
Everyone looked at everything at the moment without breathing. Although the mecha is very primitive, the original can even be said to be ugly. But this does not prevent everyone from thinking about the glorious prospects of the future mecha. Whether it is science fiction or scientific research, mecha is one of the cutting-edge technologies that humans must develop in the future. The difference is that in science fiction, mecha is often used as a top combat tool; while in scientific research, mecha is compared to the most perfect extension of the operating machinery and human body functions, and can become an alternative space suit. The specific functions and applications it has depends on future development.
"How does No. 1, I feel? Are there any discomforts? Please answer." Next to it, the artificial intelligence research team of the expert company is also busy. Although the ground test is intact, it cannot guarantee that the environment in space is still the same. You must know that the temperature on the surface of the moon is as high as more than 100 degrees; and at night it will be more than minus 170 degrees. This is an extremely severe challenge to scientific research. The environment here is more harsh than Antarctic at night.
"I'm fine. Now there is no problem with temperature or breathing. All instruments and instruments are being inspected... There is no problem with the motion sensing sensor, the infrared measuring device is normal, the electronic pressure sensing device is normal, the physical pressure sensing device is normal, the computer system is working normally, the total power supply is 99.97%, and it meets safety standards..."
No. 1 kept reporting various numbers, while the intelligent expert team kept recording. Within ten minutes, No. 1 had completed more than 80 inspections and found no problems.
"Start start now. The goal is to open the photovoltaic panel box No. 1 and complete the assembly." An old expert in intelligent research did not raise his head.
"receive!"
The four tires slowly started, and advanced at the speed of an ordinary person walking, and walked to a box with an abstract sun logo. Two meters and five arms stretched out flexibly, No. 1 kept operating virtually. Through the 3D environment simulation in the helmet, it seemed that it had turned into the current robot, with both arms and hands working together.
This is a very wonderful feeling, forgetting the body and the environment; No. 1 seems to feel like it is the robot now, which is very good; it seems like he is walking on the moon without wearing a space suit. However, due to technical issues, only the mind and arms can move flexibly, while the body can only rotate horizontally by simply rotating the bearing.
Under the operation of No. 1, the mechanical arms seemed to turn into real hands. The one-meter-square solar photovoltaic cell box was easily opened in ten seconds. Then the photovoltaic cell was easily spread out and the screws were inserted into it. Then the tip of the index finger of the right hand suddenly protruded, and it turned out to be an electric wrench.
Such operations were very fast. In space, it used to be a complete basis for humans to assemble such a photovoltaic panel, which required two people to cooperate in about an hour. But now, using robots or mechas, more than ten square meters of photovoltaic cells were assembled in ten minutes. The efficiency has been greatly improved.
"Good things! It's just too few!" Mu Xinghai sighed, but expressed everyone's thoughts. Yes, there are too few, only ten! It feels like a drop in the bucket for building a real space base.
"Hey, hey, Captain Mu, don't talk nonsense. These ten treasures are already the entire production of the laboratory now. You must know that these are just primary mechas and can only be used for experimental testing. If you want to produce them in real mass, you have to wait until you can walk with your legs. And just this is an experimental product that consumes hundreds of billions of yuan!" At this time, the intelligent expert team was not satisfied. We have done our best, but you are not satisfied. You think this is a brick, and you can have as much as you want!
"Oh, that's not what I mean." Mu Xinghai quickly rolled his eyes and apologized. These old experts dare not mess with each other. They are all treasures. The person at present is the first batch of veterans who followed Zhang Jingyuan's mentor Xiang Yundong to the master's company, and the real veterans.
"Forget it, I won't be bothered with you. At most ten years, we can take out real mechas, just like those in cartoons or science fiction movies. Before that, we need to constantly test and collect data. Without the accumulation of data and experience, science cannot be said to be progress. Just relying on fantasy, at most it is theory. The combination of theory and practice is the real correct path to science."
The old expert became arrogant and said that he could not be seen as a "child", but he vaguely educated Mu Xinghai. He made Mu Xinghai roll his eyes fiercely. Fortunately, everyone could not see the face behind him through the radiation mask.
"Okay, the test is over, there is no problem. Everyone can operate your baby. But remember, each person only has three hours of operation time. Now the device that reads brain waves has just been developed, with certain radiation, etc. Long-term contact will have an unknown impact on the brain, and the specific situation has not been determined. To be safe, once the mental power is not continued, or if it is dizzy, or if it reaches 3 hours, change people immediately."
With the support of mechas, we have now assembled the small construction machinery and started to assemble some other operating machinery. All the machinery is very exquisite, but powerful and diverse in functions. This is a technology developed completely for space. Of course, according to the consistent urinary nature of the expert company, these technologies are also confidential and developed independently. Only non-important shell components, etc. will place an order in the mother factory.
