Chapter 526

Ye Su went directly to the workbench and stood beside the technicians to see what they were discussing.

This huge workbench is placed in the center of the laboratory, occupying a large area of the laboratory.

There are a lot of technicians standing around the worktable, who are discussing the technical problems fiercely.

A young technician is expressing his opinion. His voice is so loud that he seems to want to strengthen his tone in this way.

"I don't think this kind of transmission design should be adopted for this Mars mining robot. Although the power transmission efficiency is very high, the stability is not good enough."

"If the mining robot breaks down on Mars, there will be no maintenance conditions on Mars, so we should adopt conservative transmission design and sacrifice some power to ensure the stability of the whole equipment."

Standing beside him, a middle-aged technician seemed to disagree with him. After he finished, he immediately refuted.

"You're right. If you want to have more power, you have to sacrifice some stability, which makes mining robots more prone to failure."

"But have you considered that if the power of mining robots is insufficient, the mining efficiency will be greatly reduced, and if you want to complete the scheduled tasks, you have to increase the number of mining robots."

"In this way, we have to send more mining robots to Mars. You have to know how difficult it is to send things to Mars. If the mining robots are too inefficient, it is better to send materials to Mars directly."

The middle-aged man raised the issue of work efficiency with him, and it seems that he has a completely different view from the young technician.

He believes that stability can be sacrificed in order to improve efficiency, and work efficiency is the top priority.

It turns out that what these technicians are discussing is the technical problem of mining robots.

If the Mars landing plan is successful, Yesu will set up a simple base on Mars for future astronauts to use.

There are a lot of materials needed to build a base. If all the materials are sent from earth to Mars, it needs too many rockets.

So Yesu thought that he would make local materials on Mars, and some simple metal materials would be mined from Mars.

But it's not easy to mine and melt metal on Mars.

The problem of smelting metal was solved by Ye suthi, who had designed an integrated smelting device.

This device uses nuclear fusion as the energy source and can melt all the minerals into finished metal products.

Also can carry on some simple processing to these technical finished products, forge into the desired shape.

That is to say, with this integrated melting device, the desired metal parts can be obtained only by putting the minerals in.

As soon as you hear it, this integrated melting device is very sci-fi, and it is not something that can be made on earth.

But Yesu has completed this science fiction thing. Who calls Yesu completely different from ordinary human beings.

This device took Yesu a long time to complete, which can be said to be a kind of technology beyond the era.

Now with this device, it's possible to make simple metal parts on Mars.

However, not all the problems have been solved with the integrated melting and forging device.

They also need to mine on Mars to meet the mineral needs of the device.

Even if Yesu only collects those shallow veins, it is a very difficult thing to do.

It's impossible to collect by manpower. Astronauts on Mars are not going to do mining.

So Yesu needs a fully automated mining robot that can mine on Mars and transport the minerals back to the Mars base.

Ye Su gave the task to his technical team at that time. After a period of research, they had some preliminary results.

But these mining robots are not perfect, so they need to make some improvements.

Holographic projection technology is used on the worktable to project many kinds of mining robot models.

These models are all designed by them, but the effect is not ideal.

It's robots. In fact, these mining robots don't want to be alone. They're not humanoid robots.

The models of these mining robots come in all kinds of shapes. They all look strange, but none of them looks like human beings.

Robot is just a kind of pronoun, mining robot is only used for mining, there is no need to design like a human.

Some special shapes can increase the efficiency of mining robots, which are much more advanced than humanoid robots.They're talking about improving mining robots, and it looks like they're in trouble now.

Another middle-aged technician also joined the discussion.

"But if the use of an unstable transmission system, although the power has been greatly enhanced, but the failure rate has also increased some."

"Have you ever considered the problem of mining robot damage? If the damage rate is too high, the mining efficiency will also be reduced. In fact, the work efficiency will also decline."

From what he said, he also agreed with the young technician at the beginning.

He believes that it is more important to ensure the stability of mining robots, even if the work efficiency is sacrificed.

After listening for a while, Ye Su understood what they were discussing. The focus of the debate was actually very simple.

That is, whether the mining robot gives priority to work efficiency or equipment stability.

If the stability of mining robot is considered leisurely, the working efficiency will be greatly reduced.

But if the work efficiency is given priority, the failure rate of mining robot will be increased, which will also affect the efficiency of mining operation.

This problem seems to be quite troublesome, which is why the dispute among these technicians is aroused.
