Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 498: New mining machinery

Genius for a second to remember the address of this site: []The fastest update! No ads! While the designers are working hard to complete the design of the dome city, Chen Xin is also perfecting a new design.

It's just that different from the design drawings perfected by the designers, Chen Xin is adjusting his design through the nano-molecules projected by the watch on his wrist.

This is the prototype of the previous mining Titan. Because it will not be mass-produced, it is only used for design and technical verification, so after completing the finalization of the simplified version for mass production, this prototype will be sent to It's useless and can only be placed in the warehouse.

Chen Xin felt that this was too wasteful, so he decided to improve it to see if there was any chance of it being used again.

Of course the answer is yes, such a Titan can never be useless, even if it is only used as a transport vehicle, it can come in handy, but the input and output are disproportionate.

Of course, Chen Xin will not do this. What he envisions is to use it in more useful occasions, and consider it can be more mass-produced.

Although it has been proved before that this prototype is unreasonably designed and not suitable for mass production, this is not a problem for Chen Xin.

The design of this prototype is unreasonable, largely because it is not suitable for work in the mine.

In addition to being a Titan, ordinary workers cannot easily get started, and they also need to conduct special driving training, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of its promotion.

If it's a large mining machine that can effectively improve mining efficiency, that's fine. The big deal is to train a professional driver.

Before the disaster, it wasn't a big deal that large industrial and mining companies would have operators who were trained to operate those specialized equipment.

It's just that the scope of application of the prototype is too narrow. Professionally trained drivers drive expensive Titans to mine. At the same time, the output of mining has not improved much, and the input and output are still out of proportion.

So Chen Xin wants to improve the prototype, and the most important thing is to increase its scope of application and reduce the cost at the same time.

In Chen Xin's view, the design of the prototype to simplify the mass production is an idea, but its original design idea can't be considered a problem.

If it's just for personal use, the exoskeleton is indeed much less expensive than the Titan, and it's easy to operate.

But if used as a mining vehicle, the prototype still has potential for development.

Chen Xin has investigated before, and most of the mines that are still operating in China are underground mines. Most of the open-pit mines that were easy to mine in the past are mostly affected by disasters and the current snow-covered environment. , and did not resume production.

If the prototype could be transformed into a model capable of large-scale surface mining, it would undoubtedly be of great use.

It's just that if the Titan is to be used for mining in an open pit, the prototype is undoubtedly designed to be small.

Be aware that open pit mines are no different than underground mines, where large machines are usually used to directly excavate the entire mountain, crush all the rocks and veins together, and then screen out the ore.

For mining on this scale, the efficiency of the prototype is certainly not applicable.

Although it can be cast more openly on the ground, the pickaxe is undoubtedly inefficient in this case.

Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the mining tool of the prototype machine, and at the same time increase its size, so that it can have higher mining efficiency.

However, when Chen Xin was adjusting like this, he suddenly found that he was not improving the prototype, but simply redesigning a machine that could be used for open-pit mining.

Thinking of this, he simply jumped out of the Titan category and redesigned it directly with the goal of large mining machinery.

First of all, the original six-legged walking mode can be retained. Although the crawler-type chassis of normal large-scale construction machinery is not bad, in the more complex environment such as snow or mines, the walking brought by the six supporting feet The smoothness is undoubtedly unmatched by wheels and tracks.

The design of the mine chamber can improve the ore forming bucket. In fact, the closed mine chamber is not very necessary. Whether it is underground or on the ground, it is much simpler to directly have an open mine bucket.

As for the key to the transformation, mining equipment is undoubtedly the top priority.

The original air pick worked well on broken rocks, but it was only for human use, and the production efficiency was not high enough.

If it is applied to this kind of large mining machinery, it is better to replace two big hammers directly, and it will return faster.

So Chen Xin replaced this redesigned mining machine with two air hammers, which will be used to directly crush large rocks and smash rock walls.

In addition to this, the original two auxiliary machines, Daao, are still reserved, and they will still be used to collect ores.

It's just that after the size is enlarged, this mining machine designed by Chen Xinxin does not look like a monster that is half human and half spider, but more like a large spider with claws and claws.

Chen Xin canceled the humanoid design of the upper body, and simply made this large mining machine into a spider shape, which has two huge forearms with an air hammer and a sharp front end, which will be used for drilling into the rock After the wall, crush the rock with an air hammer.

The six supporting feet on the side are used to assist walking, and only the two smaller auxiliary big hooves at the front are used to load the ore into the ore bucket.

The hopper still adopts the method of opening the front, and loads the hopper directly from the head, instead of having to go around the back and throw it in.

And its size has also been enlarged a lot, and the whole spider looks like a big truck.

Its driving system and cockpit have been simplified by Chen Xin ~IndoMTL.com~ into a truck-like cockpit, where the driver only needs to pull the joystick to control the machine Forward, backward, and work.

Although it's still a bit complicated to drive, and even inconvenient because it's pulling the joystick, it's definitely easier to train a truck driver than a Titan driver.

Then just need to amplify its engine output, make it have more surging power and more powerful output, and it can become a very useful mining machine.

Of course, before this, it is still necessary to reduce the cost as much as possible.

And Chen Xin's way of compressing the cost is more subtle than the previous method of researchers who directly disassembled a Titan into an exoskeleton.

What's more, the size of the large machinery itself is here, and it is impossible to reduce its manufacturing cost to the bottom at once.

Fortunately, Chen Xin transformed it from a Titan into a large-scale machine, many of which can be replaced, which invisibly reduced a lot of cost. In the final calculation, the volume was twice as large as the original prototype. The cost of the large machinery is even lower than the prototype.
