Volume 1: Monster Rising!Chapter 173: The Gap Between Computer Models and Entities

Next chapter

Large entities are hard to do, especially with such a large 60-meter-long thing.

It is because in the manufacturing process, the starship composed of thin steel plates is welded, and there will be an obvious mosaic puzzle feeling.

This mosaic puzzle is caused by the error left by the bending of each steel plate to the welding process.

Hundreds of thin steel plates, who can guarantee that each piece of steel plate is welded in a perfect horizontal line?

It's sure to go up and down, creating the feeling of a puzzle.

Especially in front of the ship, the huge, streamlined bow.

The numerous thin steel plates, which cannot fit perfectly with the curved bracket, will make this puzzle feel more tight.

This technical flaw also works on large ships, which often look very powerful from a distance, and when you look closely, the hull is the same as a puzzle.

The 60-meter-long starship had to eliminate the technical flaws if it wanted to create that sense of futuristic realism.

Take cars as an example, the 70,000 yuan Beauty Leopard and the 2 million Audi R8, they will distinguish ordinary people at a glance just by the visual difference in appearance.

The director wants to take a beautiful leopard of 70,000 yuan to pretend to be an Audi R8, isn't this asking the audience to scold?

There is also a spaceship that does not go to the end in a line, and it also has some devices with strange shapes and exaggerated introduction functions on the back, which invisibly increases the difficulty of sheet metal.

Engine - This is a warp engine that no one has ever seen.

If you want to create a sense of technology, you have to process a variety of delicate and complex structures.

Counting on a few thin steel plates and three or five iron pipes welded out, it is called a World War II warship boiler, not a curved engine.

Others didn't dare to make it, but after Ye Qing looked at these drawings, he had a kind of eager idea in his heart. If you want to build this starship, even if you can't fly, you can have a spaceship addiction, and you can also make a contribution to domestic movies.

Right~

Build it!

The movable system of the spacecraft, the protective cover of the front glass, the side hatches, the tail cargo compartment, and the bottom shrink hydraulic support seat were all built.

Director Ding Yin himself said that he very much wanted to shoot with a 1:1 physical spaceship.

"Then fulfill his wish!" Ye Qing said eagerly while looking at the drawings.

After speaking, Ye Qing used a calculator to calculate the physical construction cost of this starship. Interest is interest, and you can't make no money in the end.

The drawings have been designed by others, and the shape is quite beautiful, so as long as the material and processing costs are calculated.

Sixty meters long, five meters high and ten meters wide.

With 2 mm steel plate, complex structures are integrally formed with a melting center. Then we add to the mechanical power structure, the arrangement of cables.

The total weight is about 700 tons, counting several power structures, and exterior painting, the cost is five million.

Of course, this is planed out of the integrated processing, and the labor price. If you change to another factory, collecting 30 million is already a conscience price, and it may not be made.

In the afternoon of the same day, two mechanical giants outside were building transit warehouses in full swing.

In the underground base, Ye Qing had some expectations and devoted himself to the process of building the starship.

Ye Qing chose to manufacture in sections, split the keel into six parts, and made it into one piece with ordinary steel. According to the lines, the shell is cut into 200 steel plates, which are welded using traditional methods.

Where sheet metal is required, it is directly integrally formed.

In the choice of spray paint, Ye Qing used the metallic paint commonly used in automobiles.

Some of the painting equipment in the factory is that the Mechanical Titan X can be painted, and there is no reason why these segmented starship entities can't be sprayed.

Ye Qing thought that there was no difficulty in the whole manufacturing, but when the keel came out and was welded, Ye Qing suddenly realized that this was a second-hand spaceship with an old feeling.

On how to make it old, Ye Qing fell into thought.

The obsolescence of metal is a reflection of oxidation formed on the surface of long-term exposure to air.

Is it difficult to use phosphoric acid compounds to pickle and make it old?

Ye Qing has been thinking, there is a very advanced technology mastered by Yangjiang, they can even wash out the long-lost Damascus steel, do you want to use this method yourself?

Or the delicate master next to him reminded that metal experts can perfectly make the effect of obsolete equipment.

That's right~ Metal expert, proficient in various smelting techniques.

Ye Qing called the metal expert and asked how to make the ship look old.

Ye Qing thought that he was going to work on the metal formula, but the metal expert said that ferrous iron, which is very easy to oxidize, could be added to the metal paint. When the painting is finished, it will oxidize rapidly when it is heated slightly.

Industrial raw material ferrous iron is very easy to buy, and Ye Qing can ask employees to purchase it with a phone call.

The pure mechanical structure inside can be heated with pure oxygen and blown to achieve rapid oxidation.

Whether it is the blending of metallic paint, or pure oxygen heating and oxidation, a high level of craftsmanship is required.

On the second day, after the welding of the main structure of the six segmented modules was completed, the metal expert showed Ye Qing a side technique that may only be mastered by a master of counterfeiting.

He blended a paint mixed with 25 percent ferrous iron and the other two metal powders. Juli used a spray gun to neatly spray a piece of gray-brown metallic paint on the surface of the steel.

The metal expert used a large, improvised high-temperature grill, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and sometimes graffiti-like irregularity on the brown metallic paint.

After heating, after a while, the brown metallic paint actually had a magical chemical reaction.

The original brand new metallic paint slowly transformed, with faint lines like spider webs, and the overall color became gray, as if it had been exposed to the wind and sun.

The inside is old, and the rough level is level.

The metal expert used a modified pure oxygen blowtorch to spew out a fire dragon to lick the metal surface.

The place where the fire dragon licked and rolled gradually turned black and gray, and it looked very natural, and it was impossible to find the feeling of artificial aging at all.

Pap ~ Pap ~ Ye Qing, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but applaud.

………………………………

Two days have passed since Ye Qing promised to take a look at the model.

Director Ding Yin naturally understands that after such a long time, Ye Qing must have agreed to the creation of the model.

At this time, it may be that Ye Qing is leading the technical team to revise the model parameters he sent in the past.

It may be that the folding rocker arm gave him a great surprise. Now director Ding Yin believes Ye Qing a little blindly, believing that since he agreed, he will definitely make a Hollywood-level three-dimensional model of a starship.

Wouldn't it be cool to make fantasy or science fiction movies in the future?

As long as you have a good relationship with Ye Qing and establish a long-term cooperation foundation, what three-dimensional computer model can't be made?

There is also this kind of folding rocker, with which it is even more powerful, and director Ding Yin even has the illusion that he can impact the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

Yes~

Until now, director Ding Yin has always believed that Ye Qing made a computer model, and it will not be too long before he will send him the designed three-dimensional model for appreciation.

As for Ye Qing, he didn't tell him what he thought. Since director Ding Yin said that the benefits of shooting with real spaceships are not endless, let's make real ones.

It's eight o'clock in the morning, and director Ding Yin is filming the actor, driving a tractor to the field to apply fertilizer, but he bumps into his own field, and there is a shot of an extraterrestrial giant ship.

patting and patting, director Ding Yin suddenly shouted.

Why did a Mercedes-Benz G65 with strong off-road performance break in behind the tractor?

"Huh~ Mr. Ye is here?" said the assistant next to him curiously.

"It must have been designed with a computer model. Director Ding smiled with eyebrows: "Hurry up, go prepare tea." ”
