Automatic tool change system!
When processing a complex part in a machining center, it was impossible to say that a single lathe could do everything.
The more powerful a machine was, the more tools it needed.
These various tools were all fixed in a special tool store. When it was time to change a tool, the store would automatically rotate. The spindle would release the tool, and the clamp would return it to the store. The required tool would then be ejected and placed into the spindle.
The Mechanical Colossus that Ye Qing designed had a similar mechanism. The front of the mechanical arm had an automatic locking function and a hydraulic connection system.
A set of tools was carried on the back. When it was time to change the mechanical arm, it would turn to the back, release, and lock the new tool.
How to flexibly control these two mechanical arms was also a technical problem.
However, this technical problem was easy to solve. The simulated mechanical arm in the black tech blueprint was impossible to not have a control system.
At the top of the workbench was the cockpit. There were two sets of control sticks inside. The pilot put his arms inside and relied on the strength of his arms to move the sticks. The mechanical arm could perfectly simulate the movement of a human hand.
This was already a departure from traditional driving methods. It was a bit like the mecha pilots in sci-fi movies.
In order to prevent misoperation, there was a work button inside that had to be pressed for the mechanical arm to receive movement commands.
This set of control equipment was very similar to the Mark Battle Suit with external armor. However, Ye Qing had a clear shortcoming in terms of electronic technology. This control system was a bit too heavy. A normal person would be too tired to lift their arms after ten minutes of operation. After it was completely finalized, Ye Qing would think of a way to reduce the weight of the operating system.
Right now, he could only rely on peons to operate this equipment for a long time.
The manufacturing process of the chassis was much simpler. A ready-made diesel generator and a geared DC motor were installed inside. Taking into account the problem of climbing and climbing obstacles, the chassis was a four-wheel drive design. The wheels were purchased with large loader tires, and they were double rows of tires.
After the workbench and chassis were all assembled, Ye Qing, with the notebook in hand, eagerly climbed up the stairs to the cockpit of the Mechanical Colossus prototype.
This prototype was five meters tall, and its arm span was ten meters.
When it retracted its arms, it was at the same level as the cockpit. This also played a role in protecting the cockpit. Furthermore, no matter how the mechanical arm moved, it could not touch the cockpit because it was locked by the control system to prevent rookies from accidentally destroying the cockpit.
The interior was very simple and crude, and there was no sense of comfort at all. As soon as Ye Qing entered, he felt as if he had been provoked.
"We need to add an air conditioner!" Ye Qing said as he made notes in his notebook.
The chair was also welded with thin steel, so it needed to be replaced with a high-grade car seat that was electrically adjustable.
When the mechanical arm was retracted, although it could protect the cockpit, there would be blind spots on the left and right sides of the cockpit. There was a need to add left and right cameras, as well as one at the back, for use when reversing.
Pressing the start button, the 300KW diesel generator set in the chassis roared to life.
The operation was very simple. There were two gears, forward and backward. The brakes were the gas brake technology used by heavy goods. Just like automatic cars, there was one brake and one accelerator.
Ye Qing ordered the peons to open the factory doors and controlled the Mechanical Giant God to rumble outside.
Even though he was sitting on a hard iron chair, Ye Qing did not notice any obvious tremors.
The lack of obvious tremors meant that the whole car was very well coordinated.
Ye Qing slowly drove the Mechanical Giant God to the barren land in front of him, then stopped the car. He put his hands into the operating equipment and controlled the Mechanical Giant God like a robot in a sci-fi movie.
When his thumbs pressed the control buttons, the engine power rapidly increased, and the mechanical arms on both sides automatically unfolded, maintaining the same position as Ye Qing's hands.
Modern mechanical arms were equipped with two demolition hammers. Ye Qing took a deep breath and smashed down with both hands like the Hulk.
Accompanied by the loud sound of mechanical movement and the sound of giant hammers, a rock the size of a buffalo in front of Ye Qing immediately split apart as if it had been hit by a cannonball.
With a left hook, the bottom of the rock exploded again. Pressing the impact button, the demolition hammers on both sides of the mechanical arms immediately roared and moved at high speed.
The frame of the car began to shake, but this little bit of shaking did not have any effect on the machine.
Pointing the demolition hammers at the ground, countless rocks on the ground were immediately sent flying. Thud, thud, thud, thud. Like pilings, a large pit was created on the ground.
Ye Qing, whose arms were somewhat sore, clicked the tool switch button and switched to the Shredder Scissors.
The mechanical arms automatically turned to the back, took out the Shredder Scissors from a row of tool racks, and quickly rotated a few times to fix it, and the Mechanical Giant God turned into a crab. Ye Qing controlled them as if they were watermelons, randomly cutting up the rocks on the barren land.
Ye Qing found it inconvenient to sit idle, so he simply stood up and used all his strength to throw the several tons of rocks on the mechanical arms into the sea.
The rocks flew more than 20 meters away, creating a huge splash.
"Awesome!" Ye Qing released the control equipment and shook his sore arms. The performance of the two mechanical arms was unimaginably superior. Although there were still many human-like functions that had not been achieved, the mechanical aspect had definitely reached the limit of the world's top industrial industry.
In the hands of a master artisan, there were only good and bad, and there were no flaws.
Since the current prototype was workable, then it was possible to build a 150 ton Mechanical Giant God.
Of course, this type of prototype still needed to be preserved. Ye Qing was preparing to go register for the patent. Once the Monster Factory reached the fourth stage, the Mechanical Colossus with improved comfort would definitely be able to beat the crap out of all foreign excavators.
Ye Qing climbed down from the bridge and recorded the various comfort improvement plans for the Master Artisan.
Looking at the time, it was 5: 30 in the afternoon. Ye Qing prepared to go to Zhongyun University and take a few photos of the coconut trees inside.
Although Zhongyun University was average in the national ranking of universities, the hardware facilities inside were very comprehensive.
Not to mention other things, just take the tropical climate simulation greenhouse. The scale was small, but how many universities had this kind of thing?
On the way to the university, Ye Qing gave the vice-principal a call. This climate simulation greenhouse was Zhongyun University's baby egg. Not only did it have coconut trees, it also had many tropical fruits. It was always the target of the students.
So if Ye Qing did not use his connections, it would be impossible for him to enter the greenhouse.
Last time when Ye Qing's company held a job fair, vice-principal Chen Huangying and Professor Cai personally led the team, so Ye Qing was definitely right to call him.
Receiving Ye Qing's call, vice-principal Chen Yiying was very happy. She heard that Ye Qing wanted to go to the tropical greenhouse to play with the photography, and even said that it would not be a problem even if he went there to pick fruits.
