Chen Shi's face was gloomy as he returned to his office.
He slammed his fist on the table.
In the office, a few young people looked at each other. Boss Chen is so angry? How many years has it been? What happened today?
"Old Chen, don't be like this. The young people are here. Let's talk!" Zhang Qian, the deputy director of the office, quickly came up to persuade him. He had just been summoned by the leader, yet he slammed the table and raged. If this were to spread, the whole office would be in trouble.
"You don't know. I was so angry today!" Chen Shi wouldn't be so angry usually, but he really couldn't hold it in anymore.
"What's going on?" Zhang Qian was a little inexplicable. "Isn't it a summon from the higher-ups?"
"Yes, but you don't know what kind of mission they gave us!" Chen Shi was still very angry, but he finally stopped slamming the table after Zhang Qian stopped him. He picked up the big teacup and gulped down the tea. But even so, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. "We are mechanical designers, not toy designers. If they wanted to design a toy, why did they look for us? Can't they just find a studio outside? This is not only a waste of our time, but it's also a lack of attention! "
"Don't, don't, don't. Let's talk this out. Old Chen, it's a good thing to have a mission. We have been idle for more than a year. It's not easy to get a mission instruction. No matter what, we have to do it!" Zhang Qian thought differently.
"You didn't see their request. Otherwise, you would be angrier than me!" Chen Shi took out Lin Dong's blueprint.
"Mecha?" Zhang Qian's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"How is this a mecha? This is a fantasy toy drawn by a student. It's even more unrealistic than the Transformers in the movies! Look, can such a design blueprint be used as a design standard? The worst thing is that the higher-ups rejected our relatively reasonable design. They want us to perfect the design according to this blueprint! I don't know how to perfect it. Old Zhang, you tell me. Even if this thing is used as a model in a comic or a game, it's too crude. This won't do. If this thing is used as a design standard, isn't it a joke? Sigh! "
"This is a design drawing. Who drew it?" Zhang Qian looked at it carefully. He also felt that this kind of design was not very realistic. However, it was already good enough that someone was willing to pay attention to his office and give him missions. No matter what, it was an opportunity. If this design was not good, couldn't they bring their own personal goods?
"It's that Chief Xiao Lin!" Although Chen Shi was angry, he wasn't the kind of person who would slander others behind their backs.
"Which Chief Xiao Lin?" Zhang Qian was shocked.
"The one who invented the genetic medicine!" Apart from him, who else in the Peach Blossom Valley Base could be called Chief Lin Junior? However, it was true that he was an expert in the field of genetics, but in the field of machinery and mecha development, he was 100% a novice. Even if he wanted to step into this field, he would have to look at the reality first, and not try to force unrealistic things onto others with a heart full of fantasies. Compared to him, we are the real professional designers! But look, Old Zhang, he completely ignored my suggestion and directly rejected the design drawings we submitted. He ordered us to perfect it according to his design … This, this is too unreasonable. I can't accept it! "Chen Shi got angry as soon as he mentioned this matter.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, let's talk it over. Let's talk it over!" Zhang Qian waved his hands and hurriedly tried to mediate.
"Boss Chen, can we have a look?" When the young people in the office heard that the design involved Lin Dong, they immediately became interested. They stopped pretending and surrounded him.
As soon as they saw the design drawing, they knew that it was not the work of a professional.
This was definitely not how the design drawings were drawn.
However …
What does it matter?
If Lin Dong knew everything and was an expert in everything, then he would be a god!
As long as he was willing to pay attention to the research of mecha, as long as he had an interest in this area, then there would be hope for this office that swatted flies every day!
"Old Chen, you quarreled with Xiao Lin?" Zhang Qian knew that Chen Shi was a talented person, but he was also arrogant. The worst thing was that Chen Shi was a typical high IQ but low EQ nerd. He could speak logically, but when it came to socializing, Chen Shi could be said to be a total failure.
"I wouldn't dare. Besides, it's not my place to speak!" This was what Chen Shi felt the most depressed about.
Those who attended the meeting were all big shots.
As a small director, he could not speak at all. He could only watch helplessly as others set this completely unrealistic design direction and forcefully assign tasks to them.
When Zhang Qian heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, they did not quarrel! The design drawings were not important. As long as that Xiao Lin was willing to pay attention to mecha design and was willing to invest in research, then there would be hope in the future. Now, not only within the country, but the entire international situation had no interest in mecha design at all. They felt that this kind of thing was the wrong direction of research and development. Money and energy should continue to be spent on tanks or multi-purpose armored vehicles or helicopters.
It was rare that this young and rich Xiao Lin liked mecha. This was the best starting point.
As for whether the design drawings were realistic or not, it was like a fantasy comic.
So what!
Couldn't they change it for him with a large group of people?
"Old Chen, don't be angry. This is an opportunity! Let's not talk about Xiao Lin's design. At least his intentions are good. Don't you admit this? You can't deny it, right? If the higher-ups have already designed the drawings, then what do we have to do? Our value here is to design, improve, and research, right? Xiao Lin has suggested a direction of thinking. Let's not talk about whether it is realistic or not. At least he has thought about it this way. Let's not blindly deny it. Sometimes, we should also reflect on ourselves! The thinking of design should be bold and imaginative. It should not be limited to one direction. Of course, I don't say that he is definitely right. But we have to be tolerant. After all, he is not a professional. You can't use such high standards to demand of him! "Zhang Qian tried his best to persuade him.
"Of course, I know this is an opportunity! But I really can't stand such rigid standards. You don't know, but the higher-ups have already stipulated that we have to follow the design foundation of this drawing to improve it! Look at this. All the control machinery must be gathered at the joint where the shoulder and the arm meet. This is such a complicated operating system. I dare say that after the entire thing is built, it is not much weaker than the flexibility of our human arms. Don't you think that this design looks like the work of a lunatic? Not to mention that the current system program is unable to satisfy such complicated operations, even in another ten or twenty years, it will still not be possible! This is just an arm. You judge, Old Zhang, is it necessary for a mechanical arm to have five fingers? This is not a human, this is a robot. According to modern operating procedures, a robot with three fingers is already complicated enough, but it is enough to satisfy all needs. Look at this joint again. I dare say that if it is built according to this design, it will not be of any use at all. Robots are not humans. Without a human brain, the computer's driver program will not be able to use one joint to complete all the mechanical movements! " Chen Shi was very professional, but he was also very stubborn. When he saw something wrong, he did not correct it. Instead, he forced himself to do it. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Indeed, but Xiao Lin is not a professional. To be able to design to this extent is already very impressive! He doesn't understand machinery. He thinks that robots are the same as humans. They can perform complex movements through various muscles, nerves, bones, and tendons. This is very normal. Old Chen, I understand you, but you also have to understand Xiao Lin. He is not a professional designer. It is normal for him to make some small mistakes. Not to mention him, even we have made a lot of ridiculous mistakes in our work. If it doesn't work, we can change it slowly. Isn't that how design works? "Zhang Qian thought that Lin Dong being able to do this was already far beyond his imagination.
"Boss Chen, it is not that I don't want to help you. I think Blockhead's design is very cool!" Most of the young people in the office were Lin Dong's fans. At first glance, it was fine. Then, when they looked at the mechanical arm's blueprint, they were like perverts looking at beautiful women.
"Of course it is beautiful. But is this the standard of design? Can you be more realistic? "Chen Shi was furious.
"We should combine both. The design must be reasonable, but the appearance must also keep up with the trend. Our domestic weapons are not criticized by the foreign countries for their performance, but their appearance! "Zhang Qian also praised the design of Lin Dong's mechanical arm in his heart. Although he did not understand why he had to make it so complicated, there were very few people in the world who were not professionals and had no experience in this field.
"This blueprint does not need a driver or power source. I don't know how to design this. You guys can do it!" Chen Shi was still angry.
"Then let us do it. Boss Chen, calm down and take a break!" The young people in the office were excited.
Whether it could move or not, they did not care.
They had to satisfy Lin Dong's requirements first. As for whether it was reasonable or not, they did not care. Reasonable? If Lin Dong was an expert and knew whether it was reasonable or not, then he would not pay attention to a dead-end project like the mecha.
Zhang Qian gave a look to the young people.
They still had to do it.
But they had to do two sets of plans.
One set was for Lin Dong to have fun. Based on his blueprint, they could improve it as much as they wanted and express all their imagination. It did not matter if it looked like the mecha in the anime. As for the direction of research, it did not mean that it would be realized immediately. The mecha in the future could be like that … The other set of plans was the office's own design. In the future, when they had the money, they would see if they could really do it.
When that time came, when Xiao Lin realized his mistake and paid attention to the mecha that could be developed in the real world, then they would have a backup plan.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Why not?
Lin Dong did not have any other requirements for perfecting the design blueprint. It was just that time was very tight.
The next day, Chen Shi was still angry. Zhang Qian quietly handed over the design blueprint that looked more like an anime model than a real mecha. 90% of the design was unreasonable. But it did not matter, as long as the appearance was cool enough. Perhaps Xiao Lin's original intention was to make a series of toy models or an anime.
Besides, with the current level of technology, it was fundamentally unrealistic to make a mecha. Therefore, there was no reason for Xiao Lin to complain about such a request.
Zhang Qian handed over the design blueprint.
Not even half a day had passed.
Lin Dong found him again and gave him a new task. That was to continue to complicate the mecha. It would be best to achieve the transformation function. As for transforming into an animal or a car, there was no special requirement.
Zhang Qian carefully asked about the driver. Lin Dong's answer was that he was responsible for the driver and power source. As long as the design was in place, the power source would not be a problem. Zhang Qian felt dizzy. How could the mecha design be without the data of the driver and power source? Even if a number was missing, it would become a fatal flaw.
Of course, he did not dare to say this out loud.
He went back and found someone to revise the blueprint overnight. The transformation function was not like drawing an anime model. Not to mention a day, there might not be any results in a year. Zhang Qian secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Xiao Lin did not ask for time. Otherwise, the transformation design would be ruined in his hands.
Another day passed.
Elder Yan sent someone to inform Chen Shi, Zhang Qian, and the other mecha designers. "The mecha has been built. Come and take a look!"
Huh?
Chen Shi and Zhang Qian were speechless. Such a design was actually going to be used in mecha engineering?
Wasn't this a waste of money?
Even if Xiao Lin was rich, especially rich, he could not waste it like this, right?
However, although they complained in their hearts, they were still a little curious. The mecha was really built? So fast? Could it be that it was just an empty frame?
