Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 491: The Stuck Titan


The Foreman is indeed better at using the pickaxe than the previous pilots. After understanding how to operate the mining titan, he quickly used the pickaxe equipped on the mining titan to continue on the rock wall in front of him. Their previous work was interrupted, and soon a rock wall was shattered into a ground of rubble.

Only when the foreman planned to clear the mined ores as usual, he found that the equipment on his body restricted his movements and froze there for a while.

"You can pick up the ore and put it in the hopper at the back." The researcher thought he didn't know where to put the ore, so he reminded him aloud.

But Chen Xin patted him and said, "He can't bend down and pick up the ore on the ground."

After being reminded by Chen Xin, the researcher immediately reacted, and hurriedly came to the foreman's side, glanced at the equipment on him, and hurriedly said: "He is wearing ordinary protective clothing, and the life on his back is maintained. The structure of the equipment and the simplified machine stood up, so he couldn't bend down. In the original design, he could squat down to pick up ore."

For this explanation, Chen Xin nodded understandingly. This is not a strange thing. After all, it is a Titan. Even if it is a simplified version of the beggar, it is very simple to carry a set of life support equipment on it.

But in Chen Xin's opinion, such a design is not practical, because the protective suit itself has life support equipment, and it would be redundant to redesign a new protective suit in order to drive the Titan.

As for how this is designed like this now... Titan pilots don't wear protective suits, but Titan's pilot suits. The life support equipment on their bodies is different from the structure of ordinary protective suits.

This kind of problem is actually quite common in design, because when researchers first design something, they first consider to achieve the core goal and solve whether there are any problems, and then add the core goal based on the realization of the core goal. Improvements, adding other design goals.

Before finalizing, everything can still be modified, which is what testing is for.

Find out deficiencies or unreasonable places and make corrections.

But watching the foreman untie the fixed connection on his body with the help of the researcher and the Titan driver, and got off the mining Titan, Chen Xin frowned and came to the simplified version of the Titan, beckoning a few people to let Kai, picked up a large piece of ore on the ground and put it into the hopper before asking the foreman, "How many times do you have to repeat this kind of work a day?"

"We haven't counted this. There are always dozens of times a day. This is related to the hardness of the rock wall and the efficiency of our work." Facing Chen Xin, the foreman seemed a little cautious.

Chen Xin nodded, looked at the researcher, and asked him: "I saw that there was a Daao auxiliary for loading and unloading ore on the prototype before, why was this design removed from the simplified plane?"

"This..." The researcher was taken aback by Chen Xin's question, and after a while, he explained: "The design is not very stable, and the operation is a bit complicated, which is not very convenient. In the simplified version, this design was cancelled and changed to what it is now."

Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly and said to him, "Although it is important to simplify the structure and reduce costs, you have gone too far! No matter how complicated the design is, it is easier to bend it directly than this. Is it easier to pick up stones with your waist?"

"Ah, this...we didn't think enough about it." Although he didn't change the design, the researcher had no choice but to take the blame.

In fact, during previous lab testing, this mining titan initially kept the auxiliary robotic arm to collect ore, which was then loaded directly into the back hopper.

But because it is a mine bucket, not a mine cabin used on a standard Titan, there are some differences in structure between the two, which also leads to the fact that when the simplified machine lowers its predecessor and uses two robotic arms to collect ore, The ore in the hopper will slide out of it.

Although it is said that adding a partition can solve the problem, in order to simplify the design and add the actual test, the driver did not feel any inconvenience when bending over to pick up stones, so they removed it. Relatively complex robotic arm design.

However, listening to Chen Xin's words at this time, the researcher also realized that he was wrong.

In the experimental test, they just broke a simulated stone made of cement. Even if they were broken with an air pick, it would only be broken into a few pieces, and it was really easy to pick up the exoskeleton. It's just a matter of bending over.

But for workers in the mines, that means bending dozens or even hundreds of times a day.

The equipment was originally designed to improve the production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of the workers, but it increases the fatigue level of the workers. Such a design is undoubtedly not desirable.

So after Chen Xin pointed this out, the researcher quickly realized the problem, so he took the initiative to take the blame.

However, the reason for taking the blame is not to perfunctory the matter. The researcher quickly asked Chen Xin: "Academician, do you think it should be added back to the original mechanical arm design?"

"I don't have the right to say this, I have to ask the master worker." Chen Xin pointed to the foreman standing in front of him, and said to the researcher: "Whether it's good or not, it's up to the actual users to use it. In order to give the most intuitive answer, is it necessary to change the structure to a mechanical arm to assist in collecting ore, or let him see what is going on and then talk about it.”

"Okay~IndoMTL.com~ I understand." The researcher nodded and didn't say anything more, just looked at the passageway behind where everyone had just come, waiting for the arrival of the prototype.

I just waited for a while and didn't see the prototype coming down, but the driver himself got down from the elevator on the side.

"Sorry, Academician! The prototype body is too big, and it got stuck when it came down." The pilot of the prototype was helpless and frustrated, and finally got the opportunity to drive the Titan, but was stuck because of its size. Stay, he's embarrassed.

When Chen Xin heard this, the expression on his face was also surprised, and he asked in surprise: "How did it get stuck? Where did it get stuck?"

"The tunnel just above, I originally came in smoothly and didn't encounter any obstacles, but the tunnel from above suddenly narrowed, and the machine got stuck." Aggrieved face.

It was originally just a test, and since all the previous passages passed smoothly, he was sloppy, but he didn't expect that because the light was too dark, he didn't notice the sudden narrowing of the tunnel in front of him, so he was hit by the wall of the tunnel. its stuck.
