Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

How about the standard Titan? Of course good!

In the previous earthquake relief efforts in the southwest region, Titan’s outstanding performance has proved the excellence of this large-scale humanoid mechanical vehicle.

They are sturdy and resistant, flexible and convenient, and can adapt to various positions and environments almost like people.

Moreover, the various types of Titans make them almost applicable to most occasions, whether they are military or civilian, they have extremely high value.

This is why even though the standard Titan is expensive, the country still intends to mass-produce it.

But the cost of this thing is really not cheap.

No matter how streamlined the cost of a standard Titan is, it is almost equivalent to that of the latest fighter before the disaster. Before the disaster, the country was not bad for the money, but in the current environment, it can only be said that grit your teeth first. A large-scale batch is used.

Large-scale production of Titans is really unaffordable for the country.

Even if Chen Xin streamlines it and reduces the cost to the price of a main battle tank, it cannot be mass-produced.

This is also the reason why although Chen Xin has provided the country with a lot of high-tech and good things, the country more often changes the original old things and reuses them.

It's not that I'm not willing to use good things, but I really can't use them.

Therefore, in the mining Titan project, the design team upholds only one basic principle, that is, it is cheap and can be mass-produced.

The cushioned cockpit that could completely wrap the driver was removed and replaced with a helmet and metal frame that exposed the user directly, leaving only the exoskeleton for protection.

The driving mode has also been transformed from a human-computer interaction operation assisted by a computer intelligent program into a more fool-like force feedback operation.

Just these two modifications have directly downgraded the mining Titan from the standard Titan to a mechanical frame that is only slightly better than the exoskeleton.

Of course, the original high cost will come down.

Titan itself is expensive, of course, it has a lot to do with its driving mode.

It is a metal creation weighing several tons. Even if there are various power-assisting machinery inside to make this behemoth move, it is not something that can be pulled manually by the driver.

It's like the joystick of an airplane. Old-fashioned airplanes and wings are connected by wires. In the past, pilots used to drive airplanes with brute force, so the shots of the airplane operating rods in the cartoons are really broken. It's not a mere fabrication, sometimes it doesn't necessarily pull when it breaks.

The joysticks of modern aircraft have hydraulic or electronic assistance. The larger the aircraft, the more complicated it is, and the higher the cost will naturally be.

The same is true for Titan. If you want to make such a big guy weighing several tons move, you need to write a complicated control program so that the computer installed in the cockpit can accurately recognize the driver's instructions and give timely feedback. Need to spend a lot of manpower, also need to design a quite complicated operating system.

Not referring to the one in the computer, but to operate the entire Titan's system.

This is the bulk of the cost. After all, all electronic components, circuits, and mechanical transmission structures are all money.

But it's simple to change to an exoskeleton type. Several metal hydraulic linkages and a set of force-sensing feedback modules work together.

Compared with the standard Titan, the combined cost of the mining Titan is not as expensive as the cockpit of the standard Titan.

But this is also its advantage.

The purpose of this thing is to improve the mining efficiency of the mine, which means that miners can mine more ore per unit of time.

That eight-legged mining Titan prototype is indeed very efficient. A mining Titan that can be finalized is twice as efficient as a mining Titan, but it is based on five times the manufacturing cost and requires a professional Titan driver. Under the premise.

Although professional Titan drivers have been training, and even a training base has been built near the research center, but the number of people is not large, only a little more than the total number of Titans currently manufactured.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to let valuable Titan drivers do mining work.

The optimal solution should be to directly allocate mining Titans to the grassroots miners to directly improve their work efficiency.

So in comparison between the two, it is easy to understand why the mining Titan would make such a beggar version.

However, Chen Xin was a bit dissatisfied with this. This is not to say that he is dissatisfied with the mining Titan's design ideas, but that he can improve it.

Asked the researcher to pass a mining Titan that was being tested, he sat on it himself, tried to manipulate it, and compared it with the prototype that he had sat on before.

I have to say that the contrast is really strong, and the driving comfort is really a sky and an underground.

Of course, in general, the mining Titan is still a good fit, although the cab...no, it can only be called a driver's seat, and the driver is completely naked and can't be called a "chamber".

Although the driving position is not comfortable enough and completely exposed, considering that the working environment of the miners is several hundred meters underground, this simple design is not a big problem, even if it is used in an open-pit mine, as long as the workers are There is no problem with wearing protective clothing.

The rudimentary exoskeleton is also easy to manipulate, and it only takes a day or two of training to fully master its use.

It's just that for the mining efficiency of this thing, Chen Xin thinks it can still be improved.

There is only one pneumatic pick. The efficiency of UU Reading www.uukānshu.com is really the same as the original manpower mining, and there is not much essential improvement.

"Contact the mining department and ask them to arrange a mine. We need to take this mining Titan to the site for a test. I always feel that it can be improved." Chen Xin got off the mining Titan and faced it. The researcher on the side said so.

However, after hearing what he said, the researcher on the side asked curiously: "Academician, what do you think can be remodeled? Now this should be the most suitable? This has been simplified according to the lowest manufacturing cost. ."

"No, no, no, what I want to do is not to simplify its manufacturing cost, but to enhance its work efficiency." Chen Xin shook his head, patted the mining Titan and explained to the researcher: "Your simplification It’s done very well. Its cost has indeed been effectively reduced, but mining efficiency has also been reduced, isn’t it? Although cost reduction is right and necessary, if the efficiency is too low, it will lose its practical significance.

So I plan to take this mining Titan to the mine to test it on the spot to see how efficient it actually works and whether there is room for improvement. "
