The simulation experiment was temporarily suspended.
Ye Qing pulled out the hammer table from the diamond separation equipment. He looked at the uneven surface and said, "The plan must be improved. There are now two problems that need to be solved in the hammer table's working mode."
Dian Jing touched her ear and thought for a while. "The potholes can be solved with memory alloy."
There was nickel-titanium memory alloy in the factory.
This kind of alloy technology could be used to return it to its original shape after deformation by applying electrical energy.
The Watchman series robots designed by Dian Jing used this metal in many places on the outer shell.
"That memory alloy is limited to the number of times it can be deformed. It has no problem using it on armor and mechanical shells. When used in the diamond separation equipment, every time it works on the ore, it will deform. "Ye Qing silently looked at the hammer table for a while." It's useless even if the deformation problem is solved. "
"The size of the diamond is the same as the size of the broken stone."
"Initially, we thought of using volume screening to screen out the diamonds from the broken pieces that were broken to a diameter of two millimeters."
"Now that they are the same size, the screening plan will become useless."
Dian Jing said very straightforwardly, "Then we can only change the plan. Anyway, it didn't take us an hour to design this plan."
"We can only change it, but our design idea based on the [Hardness] is correct."
Even if the plan was completely abandoned, Ye Qing would not feel distressed. "By the way, the data recorded by the system just now shows that when our tower was breaking the ore, there were two records of the diamond being broken together."
"First, set the 100,000 tons of ore to be crushed. Let's see what the ratio of the broken tower to the diamond is."
Dian Jing nodded and quickly finished setting the crushing task.
Dozens of seconds later, the data came out — the crushing ratio was 0.014%.
The broken tower used the principle of counter-crushing to crush the ore. During the operation, there was a very small probability that the diamonds in the ore would be crushed.
However, after simulating the crushing of 100,000 tons of ore, Ye Qing could be sure that the crushing ratio was completely acceptable and did not need to be modified.
Simulating the crushing of 100,000 tons of ore in ten seconds was the power of the virtual factory.
Using the super computing power of large-scale servers, it could easily accelerate the simulation of any mechanized work in the virtual world.
It took the German engineers five years to design a special coal mine excavator. During these five years, the engineers had conducted countless rigorous mechanical data tests. After obtaining the test data, they had made countless changes to the design.
Not to mention the world's largest single piece of mechanical equipment, the diamond separator in front of them.
Without the help of the virtual factory, Ye Qing would have to let the monsters build a prototype according to this design idea.
How long would it take to build a prototype?
Once it is made, it is shipped to the diamond mines in Nigeria to be refined on the spot.
After a lot of time and effort, when the first problem of crushing the diamond appeared, the engineer had to adjust the intensity of the hammering table on the spot. Then, he would continue to refine it. When the second problem appeared, he would have to send the hammer table back to the factory for reprocessing.
The third, the fourth, the fifth …
Then, the diamond refining equipment project reached a dead end and was completely rejected. All the time and effort in the early stages were wasted.
That was why it took the German engineers five years to build a special piece of machinery.
One second of simulated data in the virtual world was likely to waste months in reality to get the result.
For a factory with a weaker foundation, even if it had a few years of development time to waste, it would not be able to afford the research and development cost of a new product.
The plan was rejected without any heartache. Dian Jing simply sat on the chair and learned from Dian Jing, shaking her legs and thinking about the plan.
Start with the difference in hardness between diamonds and other substances.
The final result was to completely break those substances that were less hard than diamonds.
Grasp these two cores. Since the plan to work down through the hammering table did not work, then change it.
In the field of mechanical automation, there were many mechanical structures that could break objects.
Even in the field of chemistry, there were a lot of them.
"How about using uniaxial compression?" Dian Jing quickly came up with a plan. "We change the compressed rock from one ton to ten kilograms at a time. Through the parallel connection of the workbench, with a hundred uniaxial synchronized operation, the result can be compressed one ton at a time. "
"In terms of probability, if a hundred uniaxial synchronized compression occurs once, even if a diamond appears, it is often only one diamond."
"If a diamond appears, the equipment will automatically collect the ten kilograms of ore particles and the diamond together."
Ye Qing thought for a moment and thought that the plan was good.
Through the uniaxial parallel connection, the process of finding a diamond from a ton of rock particles could be reduced to ten kilograms of rock particles. Even if it was manually selected, the workload would not be too much.
But it was only limited to the plan. Ye Qing thought that there was a better solution.
"What about the chemical method?"
Dian Jing thought of another idea. "Heat the ore through high temperature, and then suddenly cold, completely destroy the internal structure of the ore. With a gentle shake, it will turn into debris?"
"Turn into debris?"
"Yes, in a short period of time, the difference in temperature is huge. It will cause the internal molecular structure of the rock to move and destroy its own structure."
Ye Qing sat up from the deerskin sofa. "No, I mean shaking it gently."
"Huh?" Dian Jing was a little puzzled.
There were detailed records of the rock cooling and heating plan in ancient times. At that time, when the craftsmen paved the road and encountered boulders in the way, they first heated the boulders with firewood. When the firewood was burned out, the craftsmen poured a few buckets of water on it. The rock would burst because of the principle of uneven thermal expansion and contraction.
"A gentle shake can turn the rock into debris."
"Then what if we don't heat it up or let it cool down, but shake it heavily?"
Dian Jing instantly understood. "Then use the high-frequency vibration mode?"
"Diamonds are single crystals, and the resonance frequency is more than ten times higher than that of rocks. We just need to find the resonance frequency of the rock, and we can easily separate the diamond from it. "
Ye Qing smiled and was proud of his inspiration. "Yes, the frequency modulation vibration can completely avoid the problem of the rock particles being the same size as the diamond, and there won't be any potholes on the workbench, and we can process more rocks at a time."
"I'll design it. Boss, wait for me for an hour."
Dian Jing disappeared from the white sealed space with a "forced flow" sound.
Ye Qing used this time to leave and deal with the company's affairs remotely. When he returned to the virtual space a few hours later, Dian Jing had already set up a mechanical device that looked like a reaction cauldron.
Ye Qing only took a look at the exterior structure and could roughly guess Dian Jing's design idea.
This was not an outdated device that relied on a motor to drive an eccentric shaft and generate mechanical vibration.
This was a high-tech mechanical device that turned the entire cylindrical container used to store raw materials into a resonance generator.
There was a lot of research on the characteristics of resonance. In all kinds of disasters, the shadow of resonance was everywhere like a ghost.
Bridges collapsed, buildings collapsed, and dams burst. Even Ye Qing had encountered an accident where the refrigeration equipment fell and smashed into the exhibition hall because of resonance. As long as the frequency was close, the destructive power of resonance could completely destroy anything.
Although scientists had not conducted in-depth and thorough research on the resonance of rocks, the principle was there.
As long as the resonance generator was strong enough, not to mention rocks, even transformers could fall apart.
Amplitude. Frequency.
The two main elements of resonance. Because he could not figure out the resonance frequency of the rock, Ye Qing left the adjustment of the resonance frequency to the system.
Starting from amplitude one and frequency five hundred, the system automatically increased the intensity every five minutes until the ore was completely destroyed.
One was a millimeter unit, which was the distance of the resonance generator's reciprocal movement relative to the equilibrium position.
Frequency five hundred was the number of movements per second.
It took a process for the object to be completely destroyed from being affected by resonance, so the interval was set at five minutes.
"Boss, this resonance separation device of mine is designed to have an amplitude of ten and a frequency of five thousand."
Dian Jing explained, "But in actual manufacturing, we can't make a large-scale device with a frequency of five thousand revolutions per second. That's equivalent to a centrifuge frequency of six hundred thousand revolutions per second. However, a frequency of two thousand revolutions should be no problem."
"Let's see how much the system increases the frequency first. The rock will break." Ye Qing sped up the simulation time by thirty times. Ten seconds would be equivalent to five minutes of the ore being affected by resonance.
As usual, Ye Qing set the container to translucent mode for easier observation.
The simulation began.
From the mining of the Mechanical Colossus Type X, to the crushing tower to crush the ore, and then to sending it to the resonance separation device for separation.
The huge circular container, which was tens of meters high, instantly became blurred after the simulation began.
It was vibrating at a very high speed.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds …
Then dozens of tons of fist-sized ores entered the rhythm of falling apart.
Seven seconds later, without waiting for the system to increase the intensity, they broke into a uniform ping-pong ball size.
Ten seconds later, the system automatically increased the intensity.
Amplitude one, frequency six hundred.
Fifteen seconds later, the rocks that were broken into the size of a ping-pong ball were completely turned into particles.
Among these particles, there were also two glittering complete diamonds.
"..."
"Did it work?" Dian Jing asked.
"Did it work?" Ye Qing and Dian Jing looked at each other.
Dian Jing set one hundred adjustable journeys from the amplitude 0.1 to ten, and set four thousand and nine hundred adjustable frequencies from one hundred to five thousand.
Most of its one hour was wasted on these settings.
As a result...
As a result, the system helped it run out the answer in less than fifteen seconds.
Was the success too coincidental, or was the technology mastered by Dian Jing and Ye Qing too solid?
To be on the safe side, Ye Qing sped up the time axis again and let the system simulate the separation of 100,000 tons of ore at a time.
Dozens of minutes later, the virtual factory system gave the optimal solution.
The amplitude was 0.5, the frequency was 557, and the resonance time was 17 minutes.
Diamond integrity rate, 100,000 tons/100%!
In other words, ten tons of ore could be completely separated in only 17 minutes.
A resonance separation device had such terrifying efficiency.
Ten?
