Heavenly Dao Formula

"What's the key question?" Xia Fan also felt extremely novel. What did he see? An ancient remote control toy! Being able to move means that it has a source of power; being able to remotely control means that this power can be manipulated by others!

As early as when he saw the Lingtai, he was already thinking about whether energy and strength could be transformed into each other, but the Ministry of Finance used the excuse that the Lingtai was expensive and rare, and was still unwilling to show it to him for a closer look, so Xia Fan had no choice but to give up. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Industry has already started similar research, and it has produced impressive results.

"It's bumpy and easy to fall." Mo Yun explained in detail, "Its design purpose is to assist Qiguo's army in transportation and fighting. The bronze skeleton allows it to carry a huge weight without collapsing. It does not use traditional wheels and The quadruped structure is adopted so that it can climb over mountains and mountains, and no matter where the frontier troops go, it can always keep up."

"Bold idea." Xia Fan was amazed.

"But it can't be stable for the time being." With the injection of ink cloud and air, the quadruped's pace was much faster, but it also visibly shook. This shaking comes from the inability of the limbs to maintain the same landing frequency. One side is fast and the other is slow, which will cause it to tilt to the slow side, and its movement looks quite stuck. "If this thing is only as big as a model, it won't hurt if it's unstable. However, if it's enlarged to the level of a cow or a horse, this shortcoming cannot be ignored."

Once the weight goes up, the shaking effect will increase exponentially, not to mention leaving the official road and climbing the rugged hillside.

Even because of this problem, there has been an accident in which a tester was crushed to death by an overturned quadruped in the Mechanics Bureau.

Of course, Mo Yun didn't think that the other party could solve this problem.

Mechanism manufacturing is a highly specialized manual work.

She brought it up here, but she wanted to lower the princess's evaluation of him step by step.

He couldn't solve the most difficult problem, so he changed to an easier problem. Anyway, the Ministry of Industry has accumulated dozens if not hundreds of problems. In this way, His Highness's opinion of him "can do anything" will change.

Mo Yun has already seen it.

The other party is definitely not a charlatan in the traditional sense. He doesn't seem to value reputation so much, and he still has one or two unique skills in certain fields. Although it is not clear where the princess's excessive trust in him came from, as long as Ning Wanjun's view is corrected, the situation is not as bad as Qiuyue described.

——There should be no omniscient person in this world.

Mo Yun thought so.

However, the other party did not show the embarrassment or pretended deep expression she expected.

"I guess even if it is on flat ground, it often has joint jamming failures?" Xia Fan picked up the bronze quadruped, looked at it fondly, and once again marveled at the wisdom of the mechanism. In this small model, a transmission structure similar to gears has appeared.

She raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "Why do you say that?"

"The gears are very worn, which means it doesn't mesh perfectly. It wears out so fast, so it has to be replaced from time to time. To facilitate repairs, these parts are not completely wrapped, and the wind and sun will only make it broken. faster."

This person... actually knows tricks?

Mo Yun blinked, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

It has to be said that the problems pointed out by the other party are all old problems that have plagued the Mechanism Bureau on weekdays. Most people are already dizzy just seeing the exquisite internal structure of this thing. How can he see the flaws at a glance?

"This kind of problem... can't be avoided at all." She replied after a while.

"If the gears are designed in advance using the involute principle instead of engraving by hand, the two can be meshed one by one, and you don't have to stare at its joints all day long."

"Involute? What's that?"

This made Xia Fan question—essentially speaking, this is a concept of curve differentiation, and it can be said as common sense, but now it is a bit embarrassing for him to list the formulas in full. Advanced mathematics can be forgotten after a few years, not to mention that he has been here for more than ten years.

"Ahem, it's hard to explain this one or two sentences clearly. If you understand that the gears designed according to this method, if there is no accident, even if they run for several years, they will not cause jamming or wear due to their own problems."

Is there really such a way? Mo Yun hesitated, why had she never heard of it? Whether it is Mohism or public loser, the fit of the toothed roller is extremely dependent on the skill of the caster, so that skilled craftsmen are family treasures, and even their experience and knowledge have become a unique part of the caster. Biography's exclusive secrets.

The other party thinks that carving by experience is a bad thing?

Before she could think about it, Xia Fan changed the topic at this time, "But even if this defect is solved, at most it can only improve the problem you mentioned, and it is almost impossible to completely eradicate it—— It's like you can't really control a kite."

"Why?" Ning Wanjun asked curiously.

"The operator can only observe the pebbles and puddles under his feet, the depressions and uplifts of the ground with his eyes. Not to mention the existence of errors, even if he makes mistakes, it is difficult for him to get feedback in the first time." Xia Fandun said Dun, "Similarly, if you can't fly a kite as high as you can, you won't be able to feel the specific direction of the wind."

"Is that so?" The princess looked at Mo Yun.

The latter was silent for a long time before slowly replying, "He... is right."

More than right, it hit the nail on the head.

This is also the crux of what has always been in her heart.

The Bureau of Mechanical Engineering has been working hard for several months, but they still haven't found any clues. The created mechanical beast can indeed come and go freely on the flat ground, but once it is changed to an unfamiliar environment, the operator's proficiency decreases, and it obviously loses its way.

The biggest problem with the mechanism beast lies in the human itself.

If this is not resolved, it will always remain a model.

"Of course...as long as you change your mind, it's not that difficult to deal with."

"Do you have a solution?" Mo Yun asked almost subconsciously.

"Yes. No." Xia Fan said frankly, "I said, if you still adopt the form of a quadruped, it is almost impossible to solve it."

According to the solution of another life, it is still an extremely difficult task to maintain the dynamic balance of the machine. Relying on a large number of sensing probes and gyroscopes, plus electronic processors and continuously improved algorithms, can barely achieve "steady stability" when affected by external forces. Inverted", this set of plans has no reference meaning for the current machine building bureau.

Mo Yun was attracted by this answer, "You mean...the current form is a wrong choice? Then what should it look like?"

Xia Fan pointed to himself.

It took a while for her to realize, "Human-shape?"

"Not bad, and it just fits one person into it." Xia Fan nodded seriously. There is no more delicate gyroscope than human beings, even if there is a slight bump on the ground, it can immediately react to it the moment it lands. "Since you can't control the kite standing on the ground, you can simply put yourself in the sky and experience the changes of the wind yourself."

Mo Yun felt like a flash of lightning flashed in his mind!

Can people carry things on their backs?

sure.

Can man climb mountains and mountains?

No problem.

Then, as Xia Fan said—why not make the organ beast into an armor-like shape, and include the manipulator in it?

A brand new way of thinking suddenly appeared in front of her.
