Chapter 599

While the designers are trying to complete the design of the Dome City, Chen Xin is also perfecting a new design.

It's just different from the perfect design drawings of designers, Chen Xin is adjusting his design through the nano molecules projected from his wrist watch.

This is the prototype of the previous mining Titan. Because it can't be mass produced, it's only used for design and technical verification. After the mass production of the simplified machine is finalized, this prototype can't be used and can only be put in the warehouse.

Chen Xin thinks that this is too wasteful, so he plans to improve it to see if there is any chance to use it again.

Of course, the answer is yes. Such a Titan can't be useless. Even if it's only used as a transport vehicle, it can also be used. It's just that the input and output are out of proportion.

Chen Xin, of course, will not do so. What he envisions is to send it to more useful occasions and consider more mass production.

Although it has been proved that the design of this prototype is not reasonable and it is not suitable for mass production, it is not a problem for Chen Xin.

The unreasonable design of this prototype is that it is not suitable for working under the mine to a large extent.

In addition, as a Titan, ordinary workers can't easily start, and they need special driving training, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of its promotion.

If it's the kind of large mining machinery that can effectively improve mining efficiency, it's OK. It's a big deal to train a professional driver.

Before the disaster, large industrial and mining enterprises will have such specialized operators to operate those professional equipment, which is not a big deal.

It's just that the scope of application of the prototype is too narrow now. The professionally trained drivers drive the expensive Titan down to mine. At the same time, the output of mining has not improved a lot, or the input and output are out of proportion.

Therefore, the key for Chen Xin to improve the prototype is to improve its scope of application and reduce the cost.

In Chen Xin's opinion, it is a kind of idea to design prototype machine in the direction of mass production, but its original design idea is not a problem.

If it's just for personal use, the exoskeleton is much cheaper than Titan, and it's easy to operate.

But if it is used as a mining vehicle, the prototype still has development potential.

Chen Xin has investigated before. Most of the mines still in operation in China are underground mines. In the past, most of the open-pit mines that were easy to mine were affected by disasters and the snow environment, and production did not resume.

If the prototype machine can be transformed into one that can carry out large-scale open-pit mining, it will undoubtedly play a great role.

However, if Titan is to be used in open pit mining, the prototype will undoubtedly be small.

You know, the open pit is not like the underground mine, where large machinery is usually used to directly dig the whole mountain, break all the rocks and veins together, and then screen out the ore.

The efficiency of prototype machine is not suitable for mining of this scale.

Although it can be used more widely on the ground, in this case, the efficiency of the air pick is very low.

Therefore, we need to redesign the mining tools of the prototype machine, and at the same time, we need to improve its shape, so as to have higher mining efficiency.

However, while Chen Xin was making such adjustments, he suddenly found that he was not so much improving the prototype as redesigning a machine that could be used for open-pit mining.

Thinking of this, he simply jumped out of the Titan category and redesigned the large mining machinery directly.

First of all, the original six legged walking mode can be retained. Although the crawler chassis of normal large construction machinery is also good, in the more complex environment of snow or mine, the walking stability brought by six supporting feet is undoubtedly incomparable to that of wheels and crawlers.

And the design of the mine cabin can improve the ore-forming bucket. In fact, the closed mine cabin is not very necessary. Whether it is underground or on the ground, it is much simpler to directly open an open mine hopper.

As for the key to transformation, mining equipment is undoubtedly the top priority.

The original pneumatic pick is really easy to use on broken rocks, but it is only for people to use, and the production efficiency is not high enough.

If it is applied to this kind of large mining machinery, it is better to directly replace two hammers, and directly smash them back faster.

So Chen Xin replaced this redesigned mining machine with two air hammers, which will be used to directly crush large rocks and break rock walls.

In addition, the original two auxiliary machines, DAAO, will still be used for ore collection.

But now that the size is enlarged, the mining machine designed by Chen Xinxin doesn't look like a monster of half human and half spider. On the contrary, it looks more like a giant spider.

Chen Xin canceled the humanoid design of the upper body, and simply made the large mining machine into a spider shape, which has two huge forearms with air hammers and sharp front ends, which will be used to cut into the rock wall and crush the rock with air hammers.

The six supporting feet on the side are used to assist walking, and only the two smaller auxiliary big Ao at the front end are used to load ore into the ore hopper.

The bucket still uses the way of opening at the front end, loading directly from the head to the bucket, instead of having to go around to the back and then throw it in.

And its size has been enlarged a lot, the whole spider looks like a big truck.

Its driving system and cockpit are simplified by Chen Xin, and become a similar existence to the truck cockpit. The driver only needs to pull the control lever here to control the machine forward, backward and work.

Although its driving is still a little complicated, and even inconvenient because of pulling the joystick, it is much easier to train a truck driver than to train a Titan driver.

Next, we just need to enlarge its engine output to make it have more surging power and stronger output, and then it can become a good mining machine.

Of course, before that, we should try our best to reduce the cost.

Chen Xin's way of reducing costs is more subtle than previous researchers' way of directly disassembling a Titan into an exoskeleton.

What's more, the volume of large machinery itself is placed here, so it is impossible to reduce its manufacturing cost all at once.

Fortunately, Chen Xin transformed it from Titan into a large-scale machine, many of which can be replaced, thus reducing the cost of the machine. In the end, the cost of the large-scale machine, which is twice the size of the original machine, is much lower than that of the original machine.
