Akiji refused to star in Antonio's latest holographic film "Conquest", and she wanted to design a mecha of her own while the Third Interstellar War had not yet broken out. So every day, she worked hard to absorb the mechanical knowledge taught to her by Professor Leon, and these basic principles played a crucial role in her mecha design.
Sitting in the villa's hovering private car, the robot butler started and drove Qiu Ci to Professor Leon's villa. When the hovercar passed by the green belt square, Xiao Chunshui was still meditating with his eyes closed, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and took a look, and then closed them again. In the past month, he has gone to the square to meditate and practice his mental power at noon every day, and Qiu Ci has long been surprised by this.
After the hovercar stopped, Qiu Ci entered Professor Leon's residence, but there were five men and one woman sitting in the usually deserted living room at this time, except for An Yimo, everyone else was over middle-aged. Professor Leon sat in the center, talking, and everyone around him listened quietly.
Seeing the arrival of Qiu Ci, An Yimo beckoned to her and asked her to sit beside her. It wasn't until she sat down and listened for a while that Professor Leon was talking about his latest thoughts on the humanoid mech. The biggest difficulty of the humanoid mecha at this time is that it is difficult to popularize, and the mental power and physical fitness of the mecha warriors are too high, which limits the popularization and use of the humanoid mecha.
Professor Leon's meaning is to increase the flexibility of the various parts of the mecha, just like the marionette, all parts of the puppet are moving, so only a small thread is needed to control the puppet to make the desired movements. The same is true for humanoid mechas, as long as the parts are flexible enough, then with the mental power of the mecha warriors, it is enough to operate the mecha to make various actions and reduce the driving requirements.
After Professor Leon finished speaking, he asked everyone to speak freely and discuss, and several people agreed with his idea, the humanoid mecha is more flexible and changeable than the beast mecha, and can complete more tactical actions, but the difficulty of operation is correspondingly greater. This caused the mecha warrior to drive the humanoid mecha to be stiff and slow to react, and he couldn't exert much combat power at all, and it was not as good as driving the beast mecha to have combat effectiveness.
After several discussions, they agreed that Professor Leon's direction was not wrong, but how to make all parts of the humanoid mecha flexible, and the mecha warrior could operate like an arm? This is a technical problem, and it is also a difficult problem for the mecha research team to overcome at the moment.
It has been more than 200 years since the establishment of the mecha research group, and Professor Leon has taken over the position of team leader for more than 30 years. In addition to a large number of ordinary scientific researchers and laboratory workers, the main person in charge is differential geometry mathematician Hopf, who is sitting opposite Professor Leon at the moment, responsible for the shape design and data ratio of each part of the mecha; Weapon Master Bessefinny, who is in charge of the weapon design of the mecha, is the only woman in the room at the moment.
An Yimo, a mechanic and dynamicist, is responsible for the engine power system of the mecha; Wiener, a master of information and communication technology, is responsible for the intelligent brain and scanning monitoring and anti-monitoring system of the mecha; Du Gang, professor of metallurgy and materials engineering, is responsible for the armor body and protective layer materials of the mecha; Finally, Gauss, who is responsible for the mecha cockpit operating system, the oxygen supply system, and small parts such as the air pressure damper and automatic cleaner.
These people have all seen Qiu Ci in the past month, but most of them have studied in the underground laboratory of Professor Leon's villa, and they are not familiar with several people, and they have never participated in the discussion between them. It was also the first time that An Yimo was beckoned to sit down at this moment, which meant that Professor Leon recognized her ability after studying for a month, which was enough to join the mecha research group meeting.
"Qiu Ci, tell me your opinion, how to solve the problem of the flexibility of each part of the mecha?" Professor Leon said to Qiu Yu, who had been silent since he sat down, and the eyes of the others also fell on her, everyone here was a master, and they all wanted to see what this twelve-year-old girl was capable of, so that Professor Leon would not listen to anyone's opinions, and she must join the mecha research team.
Regarding this question, Qiu Ci already has the answer in her heart, and it is this benefit from the future, and what is difficult for others has long known the answer to her.
Facing the skeptical gazes of several people in the room, she said: "The human body has 78 bones and joints, so each part can act accordingly according to the instructions of the brain. The humanoid mecha itself is modeled after the human body, but it does not have the bone and joint functions of the human body, which should be the reason why the humanoid mecha is difficult to operate. ”
Several people were silent and thought for a while, and the mathematician Hopf spoke first: "The problem you said does not exist, the humanoid mecha is made in strict accordance with the human bone structure, and every joint is not missing, so your speculation is not valid, it is recommended that you still memorize the parameters and structure of the humanoid mecha before speaking." ”
Hopf said this quite politely, he had always been dissatisfied with Professor Leon's insistence on causing the mecha research team, although he respected Professor Leon very much, but he was very rigorous in studying advanced mathematics for many years, and he did not believe that a twelve-year-old girl was qualified to participate in it.
The other four also nodded, thinking that there was always something unusual about Professor Leon's closed disciples, but at this moment, it seemed that it was nothing more than that, did they think that the elites here didn't even know the most basic common sense? Everyone thought to themselves: after all, he is still a child, how could Professor Leon, who has always been wise, be confused in this matter? Even if you want to pave the way for your disciples in advance, it's too child's play, right?
Although An Yimo didn't nod along with everyone, he was also a little disappointed with Qiu Ci's answer, and was afraid that she would not be able to get off the stage by everyone's attitude, so he looked at her worriedly for a while, and only relieved when he saw that her expression remained unchanged.
The smile on Professor Leon's face remained the same, and after hearing Qiu Ci's words, the smile deepened a little, and he asked her gently, "You also heard Master Hopf's words just now, do you have anything else to explain?" ”
"Mentor, I'm talking about osteoarticular function, which is different from what Master Hopf understood as osteoarticular work." Qiu Ci glanced around at everyone and said in a low voice.
"Oh? So how do you understand it, I would like to hear how the function of the bone and joint is different from the bone and joint. Hoffman asked stiffly.
"The function of bones and joints as I understand them refers to the joints that can move on their own, and the instructions issued by the brain only guide the direction of bone and joint activities. Take the puppet that the instructor just said as an example, the instructions issued by the human mental power through the brain are actually the thread that operates the puppet, but if the limbs of the puppet are too heavy, the thread cannot be lifted and even breaks. So to solve this problem, first of all, the various parts of the humanoid mecha should be flexible and light enough, if it can't be done, then let each part of the armor body move on its own, and the driver's mental power only needs to manipulate the direction of their movement, which naturally reduces the difficulty of operation. ”
After Qiuzi's cool voice fell, the room was quiet, and everyone in the room was frowning and pondering, and no one spoke for a long time.
