    ??

    The foreman was indeed better at using a pickaxe than the previous driver. After understanding how to operate the mining Titan, he quickly used the pickaxe equipped on the mining Titan to continue what they had been doing before on the rock wall in front of them.  The work was interrupted, and soon a rock wall was broken into a pile of rubble.

    But when the foreman planned to clean out the mined ore as usual, he found that the equipment on his body restricted his movements, and he froze there for a moment.

    "You can pick up the ore and put it in the hopper at the back." The researcher thought he didn't know where to put the ore, so he reminded him.

    But Chen Xin patted him and said, "He can't bend down and pick up the ore on the ground."

    After being reminded by Chen Xin, the researcher immediately reacted and hurriedly came to the foreman. After taking a look at the equipment on his body, he hurriedly said: "He is wearing ordinary protective clothing, with life support equipment and simplified equipment on his back."  The structure of the machine held up, so he couldn't bend down. In the original design, he could squat down and pick up ores."

    Regarding this explanation, Chen Xin nodded understandingly. This was not a strange thing. After all, it was a Titan. Even if it was a simplified version, it would be very simple to install a set of life support equipment on it.

    "But such a design seems impractical in Chen Xin's opinion, because the protective suit itself has life support equipment. It would be redundant to redesign a new protective suit in order to drive the Titan.

    As for how this is designed like this Titan pilots wear not protective suits, but Titan driving suits. The structure of the life support equipment on them is different from that of ordinary protective suits.

    This kind of problem is actually quite common in design, because when researchers first design something, they first consider achieving the core goals and solving problems, and then they improve and add new ones based on achieving the core goals.  Other design goals.

    Everything can still be modified before finalization, and this is the purpose of testing.

    Find deficiencies or unreasonable areas and make corrections.

    However, watching the foreman undo the fixed connections on his body with the help of researchers and Titan pilots, and get off the mining Titan, Chen Xin frowned and came to the simplified version of Titan, motioning for a few people to get out of the way, and he  After picking up a larger piece of ore from the ground and putting it into the mine bucket, he asked the foreman: "How many times do you have to repeat this kind of work a day?"

    "We haven't counted this. There are always dozens of times a day. This is related to the hardness of the rock wall and the efficiency of our work." The foreman looked a little cautious when facing Chen Xin.

    Chen Xin nodded, looked at the researcher, and asked him: "I saw before that there was a Da'ao assist in loading and unloading ore on the prototype machine. Why was this design removed from the simplified machine?"

    "This" The researcher was stunned by Chen Xin's question. He calmed down and explained: "That design is not very stable, and the operation is a bit complicated. It doesn't feel very convenient. In addition, due to cost considerations, we chose the simplified version.  So I canceled the design and changed it to what it is now.¡±

    Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly and said to him: "Although it is important to simplify the structure and reduce costs, you have gone too far! No matter how complicated the design is, it is better than bending down to pick up stones like this.  Save effort, right?"

    "Ah we didn't think it through well." Although he did not change the design, the researcher had to take the blame at this time.

    In fact, during the previous laboratory testing phase, this mining Titan initially retained an auxiliary mechanical arm to collect ore, and then loaded it directly into the ore bucket at the back.

    However, because it is a mine hopper, not the mine cabin used on the standard Titan, there are some structural differences between the two. This also leads to the fact that when the Simplified Machine lowers its predecessor and uses two robotic arms to collect ore, the inside of the mine hopper  The ore will slide out of it.

    Although it was said that adding a partition could solve the problem, in order to simplify the design at that time, and during the actual test, the driver did not find it inconvenient to bend down to pick up stones, so they removed the relatively complicated part.  Robotic arm design.

    However, after hearing what Chen Xin said, the researcher realized that he was wrong.

    During the experimental test, they only broke a simulated stone made of cement. Even after breaking it with a pneumatic pick, it only cracked into a few pieces. Considering the strength of the exoskeleton, it was really easy to pick it up. It was just a matter of bending down.  things.

    But for workers underground, this means they have to bend dozens or even hundreds of times a day.

    Originally it wasEquipment designed to improve workers' production efficiency and reduce labor intensity actually increases workers' fatigue. Such a design is undoubtedly undesirable.

    So after Chen Xin pointed this out, the researcher quickly realized the problem and took the blame.

    But taking the blame was not just to brush this matter off. The researcher quickly asked Chen Xin: "Academician, do you think the original robotic arm design should be added back?"

    "I have no say in this. I have to ask the master worker." Chen Xin pointed to the foreman standing in front of him and said to the researcher: "Whether it is useful or not can only be determined by actual users who have used it."  The most intuitive answer is whether to change it to a structure where a robotic arm assists in collecting ores, or let him see what's going on."

    "Okay, I understand." The researcher nodded and said nothing more. He just looked behind him at the passage where everyone came from just now, waiting for the arrival of the prototype.

    But after waiting for a while, the prototype did not come down. Instead, the driver came down from the elevator on the side.

    "Sorry, Academician! The prototype is too big and got stuck when it came down." The pilot of the prototype looked helpless and frustrated. He finally got a chance to drive the Titan, but he got stuck because of its size.  This is embarrassing and embarrassing.

    When Chen Xin heard this, his expression on his face was immediately startled, and he asked in surprise: "How did it get stuck? Where did it get stuck?"

    "It's in the tunnel above. I came in very smoothly and didn't encounter any obstacles. However, the tunnel coming down suddenly narrowed and the machine body got stuck." When the driver said this, he also looked aggrieved.  .

    It was originally just a test, and since the previous passages had been successfully passed, he was careless about it. Unexpectedly, because the light was too dark, he did not notice that the tunnel in front of him suddenly narrowed, so he got stuck on the wall of the tunnel.  .  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
