In front of the scientific research center, a transport truck was unloading the Titan from the vehicle.
This is the first batch of Titans to come back from the disaster area. Due to malfunctions and the loss of spare parts, it can no longer be repaired locally, so it can only be shipped back for overhaul.
For this reason, Chen Xin and the scientific researchers involved in the design and manufacture of Titan gathered around the transport vehicle.
Seeing a battle-damaged Titan that was covered with scratches on its surface and looked like it was being transported out of the car, Chen Xin couldn't help but shook his head: "How did it get like this? Even if it was overused, It’s not like we made a Titan look like this!”
For this batch of Titans, Chen Xin regards them as his own works, treating them just like the Gundam and other hand-made models that he played before.
Now that he saw a Titan turned into a battle-damaged version, Chen Xin felt as if his cherished figure had been damaged by a naughty kid.
Although Titan is not a figure, and it was not damaged by a naughty child, Chen Xin still felt a little knotty in his heart when he looked at the rather tattered Titan in front of him.
"Sorry, Academician, we encountered a building collapse when we were involved in the reconstruction work. The two Titans were buried under the rubble and ended up like this. It was our mistake!" There were two Titans shipped back in this batch, with two drivers. After hearing what Chen Xin said, he hurriedly came to him and apologized to him.
Hearing that the two Titans were buried under the ruins and became like this, Chen Xin nodded slightly and asked the two of them: "The building collapsed? How did you deal with it? The two Titans were facing each other. How did it perform in this situation? What do you think are the shortcomings?"
Although he was unhappy that the two Titans were in this state, Chen Xin did not let this affect him, and still asked the two pilots about the situation seriously.
The two drivers looked at each other, and one of them explained to Chen Xin: "At that time, we were driving two Titans to clean up the building ruins. Several ordinary workers were responsible for assisting us in cleaning up, but the building ruins happened twice. Collapse.
When they fell down, in order to protect several workers, we used Titans as supports to cover them. Bricks and stones fell on the Titans, completely burying the two Titans, causing varying degrees of damage to the two Titans. "
"The damaged parts were mainly the protective armor on the Titan's back and the arms. At that time, the building ruins were pressing on the two Titans. It was only thanks to the support of the arms and legs that the workers were not crushed to death," another said. The driver also supplemented and explained the situation to Chen Xin: "Because it bore too much weight, Titan's arms were severely damaged, and the support structure on its back was also deformed.
We ran out of spare parts locally, and some of the damage was beyond repair, so we had to ship it back for repairs.
As for what other shortcomings you asked, academician, we have communicated with other pilots before. Everyone feels that the parts in the arm part of the body are particularly worn, but the parts in the load-bearing structure are the ones that wear out the fastest. "
"The parts of the arm are seriously worn. Are the parts of the load-bearing structure the fastest?" Chen Xin heard the driver say this and nodded clearly.
In fact, Chen Xin had already anticipated this situation. The relief work in the disaster area mainly requires Titan to use his arms to carry building debris and some heavy objects. In such movements, the arms are naturally used the most, and they bear the greatest pressure. is a load-bearing structure.
Therefore, the Titan Engineering type developed in the future will naturally strengthen its arms and adjust the parts with serious wear, and the load-bearing structure will also be structurally strengthened and upgraded accordingly for areas with large losses.
Send the two returned Titans to the lab, where they will be dismantled.
The lost parts sent back with the two Titans were analyzed and identified in order to study why they were lost.
Watching the shells of the two Titans being removed to reveal the structural parts inside, Chen Xin walked to one of the Titans and observed it carefully.
He found that the parts of the two Titans were generally more worn and consumed in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs, especially some supporting auxiliary parts in the legs used to enhance stability, which looked like they had been replaced just a few times.
"It seems that the stability of Titan is better than we expected. It seems that auxiliary support components are not needed for every Titan!" A scientific researcher stood next to Chen Xin and also noticed this.
Chen Xin also agreed with this and said affirmatively: "I specifically observed when I was in the disaster area. Due to the stability brought by its own weight, Titan can stand well even on snow and ice. , there was no problem of unstable center of gravity or slippage caused by the humanoid structure that we were worried about at the beginning, and this auxiliary support component is indeed not used much."
"Does this part need to be canceled in subsequent models?" The scientific researcher asked Chen Xin after hearing what he said.
Hearing this question, Chen Xin thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, let's wait until the analysis results come out."
Although Chen Xin could rely on the powerful functions of the system to directly cancel this auxiliary support component and adjust the structure of Titan, he did not intend to do so.
Chen Xin relied on the power of his imagination and system upgrades to build Titan, so he could do it just by patting his head or having an idea in his mind.
But for a piece of equipment designed and developed by the state, it is obviously impossible to make a decision on the head like him. Not only does it require step-by-step technical demonstration, but every modification also needs to be carefully considered and a judgment can be made based on the actual situation.
And even if it is modified, it still needs to go through various tests and verifications before it can finally be implemented on the device.
If Chen Xin takes care of everything and uses the system to solve problems, it will only cause the design team to lose the opportunity to exercise. In the end, it will lose the ability to design independently and have to turn to Chen Xin for everything. The consequences of this are very serious.
Therefore, even though upgrading the system by himself can solve the problem easily and directly, Chen Xin still hopes that these researchers will solve the problem through conventional methods.
After all, no matter what, Titan or other equipment must be mass-produced. If the research team does not have the ability to deal with various problems and does not understand Titan itself, what problems will they encounter in future use? There is no solution and no ability to develop subsequent models, which is not a good thing for the country.
