Chapter 203 Remote Control Last Day, Ask for a Monthly Pass!

After Lin Hong and Arthur returned home, they did not set off immediately, but waited at home until two o'clock in the afternoon, because the performance time was relatively late. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "" Net

Orlando is not at home, and Vina drives Lin Hong and Arthur. Their destination was an area in the southern suburbs of Boston, an area where factories once stood but many of them were moved away due to environmental bills, and it is said that it will soon be developed. But at present, there are more white tin sheds with all kinds of oddly shaped signs for the recycling and repair of scrapped cars.

Compared with the quiet and elegant in other places, it seems a little dilapidated, and the surrounding environment is also very bad, and it is as if you have come to the era of the industrial revolution in the last century.

Huge factory buildings have been turned into warehouses and places where machine scrap is stored.

Mark's "Life Survival Lab" is located here, and he lives in a warehouse next to a huge scrap yard.

Vina drove the car straight into his warehouse.

Lin Hong came out of it and was deeply shocked by the various holding machines he saw in front of him.

The first thing he saw was a giant machine with a height of more than four meters, with a modified chassis and no head, replaced by two iron chains decorated with shark teeth, intertwined with each other, at a specific angle to each other, like a prehistoric beast, looking up to the sky with its mouth wide open and roaring.

In front of this sharp-toothed beast, Lin Hong also saw a huge machine lying sideways, and later he learned that this was an industrial machine tool, which Mark used to add parts and components to the steel monster.

The entire warehouse is surrounded by a variety of equipment, welding equipment, lathes, punching presses for various purposes, and rusty unknown machine parts.

Lin Hong had the feeling that he had come to Grandpa Xu's scrap yard for the first time, of course, all the things here were steel products, and all of them were large.

Although Arthur's words about Mark were uninteresting, he was obviously very interested in it when he came here. (《》网)

After getting out of the car, he ran around and drilled through the steel jungle.

"Stone, come over here." Arthur eventually listened next to a cylindrical mechanical device.

Lin Hong walked over and felt a little strange when he saw the machine beside him.

The shell of this machine has been disassembled, revealing very delicate internals, with very fine metal fan blades and bullet-like oval metal blocks at both ends, which looks very complex and full of an alternative design aesthetic.

"What is this?" Lin Hong asked.

"Jet engines." Arthur picked up a piece of iron from the ground, which happened to have a U.S. Air Force logo on it, "It looks like it's on a fighter plane." Cruel! ”

Lin Hong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Where the hell did Mark get this from? You can even get the engine on the fighter jet, which is too good!

He took a closer look and saw that Arthur's words might really be right, this thing, it still seems like that.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had seen photos of fighter jets in magazines, and combined with the big thing in front of him, it really looked a bit like it.

"Haha, kids, what do you think of this?"

After a few words to Vina, Mark walked over with a smug smile on his face.

"It's so-so." Arthur was still praising just now, but in a blink of an eye, he pretended to be very unconcerned, "It's just a scrapped engine, nothing to look at." ”

"You say it's average?" Mark was not angry, "This is a real turbofan engine!" In the eyes of the military, this is a scrapped product, but in my hands it is not! Look, little Arthur, I'm going to bring it back to life! ”

After saying that, Mark looked at the engine in front of him with an obsessive expression.

"You picked up this thing from the army again, right?" Arthur hit his uncle mercilessly, "How many dollars a pound?" Twenty? Or thirty? ”

Mark suddenly jumped up when he heard this: "How can it be so cheap!" Do you think these things can be picked up casually on the side of the road? I'll tell you the truth, this stuff cost me a lot of money, sixty-five dollars a pound! ”

When Lin Hong heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud. ("" Net 7*

At the same time, he was also very surprised in his heart, when will such a high-tech thing as an engine be able to be sold by the pound?

Under his inquiry, Mark told Lin Hong how to obtain the raw materials for making "mechanical creatures".

Usually, he will go to the scrap yard to see, for example, the scrapped car engine, as well as the chains, tires, booms and so on of large construction machinery are his favorite things. These things, which he usually "borrows" from the scrapyard, are not very valuable anyway, and the people in charge of the scrapyard here also like to watch his performances, and usually don't pay much attention to them. If you meet a stingy person, you will give a symbolic amount of money.

However, Mark's favorite thing to do is to go to those downsized military bases to find things, and after haggling, he usually transports truckloads from military bases for tens of dollars a pound, including all kinds of military-grade machine tools, submarine parts, bizarre motors, all kinds of strange electronic components, stout steel bars, and even brand new spare parts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Lin Hong used to spend money to buy electronic or mechanical waste products in order to make electronic equipment, and then assemble some interesting equipment by himself, he was already very good, but compared with Mark, he found that he was nothing.

This is a professional-level hardcore player!

Lin Hong and Arthur scurried around the venue, as if they were looking for treasure in a treasure house, and after seeing good things, they would call each other for observation and tasting.

In the middle of the warehouse, Mark begins to visit strange pieces of metal, some of which are frames, some of which are giant truck tires, which are placed in random and irregular positions.

After a while, a huge trailer drove in, and several people jumped from it, these people were Mark's assistants, these assistants were Mark's fans, who didn't get paid, volunteered to do something for him, and had fun.

Lin Hong thought that the performance was about to start, and immediately ran over.

I saw that Mark took out a remote control from a box on the ground, and after activating the button, the sharp-toothed monster that Lin Hong saw just now actually began to move!

This situation made Lin Hong jump.

You can even control it remotely?!

Lin Hong knew about wireless remote control toys, but it was the first time he had seen such a large remote control device.

Mark will climb the Tooth Monster down the track onto the trailer, then take a few people back into the car and drive away.

"Mark, aren't you performing here?" Lin Hong asked strangely.

"No, it's too small, and the show will be in the evening, so it's early. I'm waiting for Orlando to pass the two now, and there's a fight between me and him before the show. Mark put the remote back in the box.

"Can I take a look at this remote?" Lin Hong is a little interested in this remote control.

"Of course." Mark wasn't surprised, boy, he was very interested in all of this.

Lin Hong took the remote control in his hand and studied it.

The remote control in his hand is square in shape, with two joysticks in the middle, left and right, both of which can be operated up and down, left and right, and a stretchable antenna in the center of the top. Under the joystick, there are also some adjustment buttons, which are marked with some English abbreviations, and Lin Hong doesn't know what they mean.

However, he understood the English written on one of the labels, which said "six-channel receiver".

"Mark, what do you mean by six aisles?"

"This represents direction control, which is 'front and back, left and right' plus 'up and down' directions. In general, only four channels or even two channels are sufficient. But when you control a model airplane remotely, you need six channels, because the model airplane involves a lifting action. ”

Mark explained as he debugged a toy car on the ground. And on the ground, there are many of the same toy cars.

"Is this using radio for communication?"

"yes."

"As far as I know, interference between radios can be serious, how to solve the problem of mutual interference?"

As a ham, Lin Hong was all too familiar with radio, but he never tried to use this signal as a control.

"It's very simple, just set a few more frequencies. Generally, there are two frequency bands for remote controls, for example, the frequency of ordinary toys is 27MHz and 49MHz, and my remote control is a little more high-end, the frequency range is 72MHz and 75MHz, when competing with others, just use different frequencies to control. ”

Seeing that Lin Hong was interested in this, Mark simply stood up: "You know radio?" ”

"yes, I'm ham."

"Really? great!” Mark praised it when he heard this, and Lin Hong's ham status made him immediately weigh a lot more in Mark's eyes.

"Have you ever been exposed to the principle of wireless remote control?"

"Nope. I've never played it before. Lin Hong shook his head.

"Actually, it's very simple, I'll give you a rough explanation and you'll understand." Mark was interested.

In fact, explaining what you know to others is something that many technicians like to do. This kind of "good teacher" sharing impulse, on the one hand, is based on the desire to communicate with like-minded people, and on the other hand, there is actually an element of showing off in it.

Mark is especially such a person.

It's a pity that every time he preaches his theories or knowledge to Arthur, his nephew doesn't care about it, and this clever little boy makes him a little embarrassed every time, but he doesn't mind it, and still tries to influence him.

Therefore, when he saw that Lin Hong showed enough interest in this, his character of being a good teacher immediately exploded.
