"Not you, not him? So how do these two iron pipes that look no different from chimneys move without anyone controlling them? Speaking of which, have you solved the problem of how to burn the magic circle?"
"Although it's a bit difficult to do it yourself, it's not impossible. After all, my thing can be taken apart. You don't have to do it blindfolded. The difficulty has been reduced by more than a little."
"Then this thing doesn't seem to have a structure for controlling process reversal?"
"This thing has a name, a robotic arm. As for process reversal, it actually has this structure, but it's not reflected in the mechanical part, but in this row of panels."
Polu pointed at the long wooden table in front of him that looked like it would be used at some kind of buffet reception. The nude wooden board was lined with numbers and iron inlaid with copper wire.
Board. Looks like some kind of decorative art print exhibition.
Zhu Yiwei glanced doubtfully from above, then looked at Bolu. No matter how she looked at the expression on her face, she had only one meaning: "You seem to be teasing me."
"There are just a few control boards and you tell me they are controlled by them? It's not like I can't understand. Where is the inversion structure here?"
"Oh, what can I say? It really doesn't take that much trouble to reverse it. Just change the signal path. Just wait!"
Boru quickly walked to the pile of draft paper at the end of the workbench and started to pull it out.
"Ha! Found it!"
He trotted back holding a piece of scratch paper with many circles on it, pointing to the lines between the circles:
"Although this set of movements looks complicated, it is actually not difficult because my movements are actually only fixed within this range."
He gestured with his fingers beside the base.
"The whole action is divided into three steps. First, I pass the activation signal to the No. 1 force field unit on the base. It will push a rack forward. The rack drives the small gear, and the small gear drives the large gear to obtain..."
Seeing that Bolu was about to enter the verbose stage again, Zhu Yiwei decisively asked him to stop immediately!
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't be so specific! Keep it simple! Just tell me the principle."
"Oh, actually it is to make it work in a constant energy state. When each step is completed, a pick will be driven. When the pick touches the control board at the other end, a signal will be sent out, and then the signal will be pushed to the next unit. For example
This power unit B operates according to the principle just mentioned, and is still controlled by paddles. When it picks up the object, the spring-loaded probe rod will be pressed to the bottom.
Okay, here comes the key part. The probe rod will push a pick, and the connected pick will break... to open the connection, but at this time the pick will connect to another set of pathways that reverse the process. When it is activated, the movement will be natural.
It fell back. Do you remember? I just used a small hammer that can activate the channel to knock on the control panel of the process? The pick actually replaced the function of my small hammer."
Zhu Yiwei tapped the back of her hand, showing a thoughtful look.
Polu scratched his head, a little worried that she didn't understand. To be honest, this set of steps is difficult to understand if it is simple, and difficult to remember if it is complex.
Just as he was about to say it again, Zhu Yiwei had already raised her head from deep thought and nodded:
"Understood. Break the action into small movements one by one, and then use two sets of control boards that are inverse to each other. Whichever side the pick is cut to, it will act according to the process of that side. So the key is the signal of the pick passing?"
"The statement broken down into paragraphs is very correct. You can understand it after saying it once. It is also summarized very concisely. You understand it too quickly. Are you really crushing me with your intelligence?"
She smiled a little embarrassedly: "Am I preparing for promotion? Compared with high-level knowledge preparation, although this has many steps, it is not difficult. However, this thing of yours should not be given to Constant
Are you going to use it?"
"I would rather just sit like this, go back and lie down, and be locked in a box and rot! I would not use such an ugly and clumsy thing!"
Sitting on the ugly toilet, unable to do anything except turning her head, Constance, who could only complain, roared out of silence again.
"Don't worry, this thing is not for you."
Before she could explain, Zhu Yiwei suddenly frowned. She raised her left hand and put it next to her ear. She gestured to her ear with her right hand and said with her mouth: "Wait a minute, I have an emergency message."
Point-to-point magic communication is actually silent when it does not need to be heard by others. So in Bolu's opinion, Zhu Yiwei was just covering her ears and being in a daze. But this time the communication seemed to be a bit long, and it didn't end after waiting for a while.
So he habitually started to lose his mind.
"The principle experiment was successful, but this thing can be regarded as an early experimental type if it lasts. Apart from catching things, it can't do anything else for the time being. It's not scalable enough and needs to be developed. Well, it's such a happy decision! Tomorrow
...No, I will draw a few sketches later and lay them out for the little guys to solve. Let me think about what other functions are needed... No! I have to improve the accuracy first, and that's it.
He's dangling so high that he really can only grab things."
Having only one or two robotic arms on a production line will not make much difference, that is, just helping people carry it. But when the entire production line is full of robotic arms and special tooling, the production efficiency will change dramatically!
Polu couldn't control his delusions.
"This force field has endless uses. Maybe it can also be used as a lost foam? Go back and try it. When the production capacity is available, I will make six pure Gatlings with 3,600 rotations!"
The production capacity of rotating barrel machine guns has long been reached, and the demand is also very strong.
The streets are full of enemies who rely on numbers and are anti-human elements. You can use Gatling to spray them without any guilt!
But so far the only reason not to build it is that poor people cannot afford this weapon - the current output of the crude production line in one day is not enough for it to fire a long burst. How can this be done?
And just the bullets sprayed out will suffocate him! After all, if the rate of fire is too high, the waste will be serious!
“But I still want it so much!”
He seemed to have seen the sudden blue fire in his eyes!
At this moment, he was simulating strafing and scanned the deep groove that was pinched by the robotic arm on the iron pipe.
The fire of delusion was extinguished in an instant.
There is still a long way to go from the current prototype to a practical machine. For example, how to completely clamp the workpiece from one place to another without crushing it on the road due to excessive bite force.
"Although the iron tube is quite soft, it's a bit... like being squeezed by power claws when clamped like this. Although the ancient giant garbage is also very powerful, I can't figure it out. Forget it, hurry up and finish the work here.
It’s over, go back and lay out production capacity as soon as possible.”
"Bolu, there is another delegation order."
Zhu Yiwei's voice awakened Bolu from his delusion. At the first moment, Bolu noticed the reluctance on her face, as if the question was forced to ask.
"Whose? What do you want?"
"Kirkarte, you still need the same armor and weapons as last time."
"That giant who deceived us? I'm afraid of what they'll do if they don't accept it. I'll pay for one ship for each delivery. If we hadn't been short of copper, we would have suffered huge losses last time! Besides, maybe it won't happen this time.
Not so lucky anymore.”
Polu shook his head crazily, waved his hands, and refused three times in a row.
