Finally, with the help of the simplified machine and several miners equipped with exoskeletons, the stuck Titan was finally freed and the test was able to resume smoothly.
But this time the prototype Titan was piloted by a pilot rather than a miner.
After all, it is a real Titan and requires professional training to be able to drive it. It is not something that ordinary miners can handle.
After seeing the mining efficiency of the real Titan, both the miners and the technicians at the mine were full of praise for this large machine, especially when they saw that the Titan could continue to crush the rock wall while using the two machines on its lower abdomen. The mechanical giant kept stuffing ore into the mine cabin behind its belly, which made their eyes even brighter.
Although the development of modern science and technology has separated the industrial and mining industries from primitive and heavy manual labor, under the current environment, this mine still uses a relatively primitive manual labor model.
Workers use pneumatic picks to destroy the structure of the rock wall, breaking it into ore, and then manually loading the ore onto a mine cart and transporting it from underground to the surface.
It's not that the mines don't want to use new technologies, but that they really don't have the money to purchase new mining equipment. Although the country is also vigorously organizing production, such things are always in short supply. When factories produce them, they are first used in large mines that are in need. A small mine like this with a small mining volume can only rely on pneumatic pickaxes and manpower.
This has no other advantages, the only advantages are low labor costs and cheap equipment.
But this does not mean that people in the mines do not want good labor tools that can improve their labor efficiency.
Just looking at the prototype, although the workers' eyes were bright, the technicians could only smile bitterly in their hearts and gave up the idea of buying it.
Of course he can see how good the prototype is, but he can also see how expensive it is. Even if such a valuable item is actually mass-produced, it is not something that a small mine like them can afford.
In comparison, he felt that the simplified machine he saw below was more likely to be equipped for the mine.
"Master, do you think these two big clamps for picking up ore are necessary?" Chen Xin found the previous foreman and asked him.
The foreman stared at the two big turtles under the prototype machine carefully, and then nodded seriously to Chen Xin and said: "It is very necessary. With this, we can keep drilling without stopping to pick up ore."
Obviously, the foreman was very satisfied and yearning for this design that could save a lot of things.
However, he also understood that prototypes were not something they could care about. After speaking, he added: "Actually, I think the previous one was quite good. It would be great if we improve the design. Although this one is good, it is too big. It’s not practical to use it underground.”
Hearing what the foreman said, Chen Xin glanced at the huge prototype in front of him. Thinking that it had gotten stuck in the tunnel just now, it was hard to disagree with what the foreman said.
He thought about it seriously and felt that it was indeed the case. The huge Titan was huge, even if the mining type deliberately reduced its size.
Compared with the simplified machine, which has a similar structure and volume to an exoskeleton, and comparing the height and dimensions of the prototype machine, Chen Xin also feels that the smaller one is more practical in the mine.
After all, in a narrow mine tunnel, once a large machine like the prototype gets stuck, the impact will be comparable to that of a mining disaster.
The simplified machine is different. The relatively compact structure also brings lighter weight, so that when encountering danger, it will not be delayed due to its large size.
So after this field test, Chen Xin already had an idea in mind for the mass production of mining Titan.
After the test in the mine, Chen Xin and his team returned to the research center.
The huge prototype machine was naturally driven into the warehouse and is still on standby, but the simplified machine was dragged to the laboratory, ready to put the idea just generated into practice immediately.
The mechanical arm that was originally removed was added back, and the mine bucket was re-opened and placed in the middle of the two mechanical arms. It looked like the front face of a crab.
Seeing this design, Chen Xin didn't hesitate for a long time before he rejected the design draft.
This kind of thing that looks like adding back the original design only solves the current problem, but not the previous problem. Otherwise, the design sketch that Chen Xin saw would not just completely copy the design of the prototype. .
However, although the manuscript was rejected, Chen Xin gave his plan.
"Just design the two robotic arms to be able to flip 180 degrees." Chen Xin directly modified the performance on the design drawing submitted by the researcher, and said: "There is no need to stick to the mouth from below. Just stuff it in, turn the robotic arm 180°, and then throw it into the mining bucket! What we build is an industrial machine, and it doesn’t need to be too novel or a high-tech design. It can run smoothly, or it can solve the problem. Very good."
After hearing this, the researcher suddenly felt as if his thinking had been broadened. At the same time, he also understood that Chen Xin's method of directly turning the robotic arm 180° was much simpler, more direct and crude than his own idea of opening the door on the mine bucket. , but it also solves the problem that workers need to bend down many times a day and the ore in the mine bucket will slip.
"Academician, can this be finalized and produced?" Looking at the design drawing that had been modified by Chen Xin, the researcher asked Chen Xin.
Because the products manufactured by Chen Xin are usually ready for mass production after the design drawings are drawn, and Chen Xin rarely modifies his design many times, so the researcher asked this question.
However, Chen Xin did not answer this question and just shook his head at him.
"After making the changes first, make a few prototypes, send them to the previous mine, continue testing, and record the feedback of all workers after using them." Chen Xin ordered the technicians, but Chen Xin did not answer this question. She shook her head at him.
