Chapter 85: The Prosthetic Team Holding a Breath (Asking for Recommendations)
After the success of the plasma cannon, Chen Shen was not so busy.
Every day, in addition to looking at the data report of the three-person synaesthesia, he pays attention to the plasma cannon, and there is still time for Yang Xing and them to continue to catch insects.
The damage to the structural part that occurred during the last test has been confirmed to be caused by excessive force, and they are trying to replace the structural part with another material.
Other than that, most of the rest of the time was spent researching the shock absorption system for the Crimson Tempest.
However, within a few days, Ma Zhen suddenly invited him to the research center.
Because their new design for the prosthetic is finally complete.
Chen Shen came to the research center by car and walked through the door where there were still a few big characters on the research center.
Ma Zhen was waiting for him at the door and welcomed him in.
"The new structure of the prosthetic has been designed, and all the parts have been 3D printed, and now they are being assembled inside." Ma Zhen walked beside him and said.
When Chen Shen walked in, he saw Weiwei and them surrounding the workbench, and when they saw Chen Shen coming in, they all smiled.
After Chen Shen asked them to make up for the basic knowledge of brain control prosthetics, they now knew that the operation method on their side was not the same path as the other side.
Compared with the operation method that requires the other party to undergo supporting surgery before using the prosthesis, their ready-to-use method obviously has more advantages, and there is no need to worry at all.
On the table is the new prosthetic leg they designed, and now there is only a general structure, and Weiwei and others are still installing various parts such as motor cables on it.
The assembly is nearing completion, but the rough appearance has already come out.
The black metal surface is shiny and translucent, and the structural design that fits perfectly with the human body structure looks like it came out of a science fiction movie.
Ma Zhen introduced on the side: "The key parts of this prosthetic are all printed with titanium alloy, and the overall weight without batteries is about four catties, which is very light compared to the complex structure in it." ”
At this time, the prosthetic assembly is complete, and the last screw is slightly screwed to close the prosthesis.
"Now it's time to test." She said with some excitement.
Ma Zhen nodded, arranged for someone to connect the prosthetic limb to the power supply, and used the computer to check the wiring inside.
And he himself continued: "The execution time of this prosthetic limb has been much faster, almost the same as the movement of a normal limb, and each of the ten fingers can move independently. ”
As he spoke, the other side had already plugged in the prosthetic and activated it.
Today, there is no need to conduct a real-life test, just give instructions to the prosthetic directly through the computer.
The issuance of computer instructions eliminates the need for neuronal connections, and the performance of the prosthesis can be seen more intuitively.
Soon, under the command of the computer, the prosthetic limb placed on the workbench was operating smoothly.
Squeak~
With a soft sound, the ten fingers of the prosthetic limb were bent and stretched in order, which seemed to be about the same as the smoothness of human hand movement.
And the flexion, extension and rotation of the wrist are also equally smooth, and the previous feeling of mechanical braking has been greatly reduced.
"It's great to be able to do this in such a short period of time." Chen Shen nodded again and again on the side, Ma Zhen's team does have potential.
However, looking at the prosthetic leg that moved freely, he suddenly remembered a question:
"How long will this prosthetic last after it leaves the lab?"
Now the prosthetic test is an external power supply, or with a large battery dedicated to the test, which is larger than a brick.
If it is to be launched on the market, of course, it is impossible for a prosthetic to have such a large battery hanging on it.
It's not going to fight, and it's inconvenient to carry a battery bigger than a brick with you.
"Generally, the prosthetic life on the market is one to two hours, during which hundreds of grasping movements can be completed."
Ma Zhen thought for a while: "But our prosthetic is different, if we use batteries commonly used in other prosthetics on the market, because the motor power in it is relatively large, and it also needs to be equipped with a brain control system, it is estimated that the use time will be within an hour." ”
"Then put the usual batteries on our prosthetics and test the time." Chen Shen said.
There was no need to wait for Ma Zhen to speak again, someone at the scene went to the reserve room to rummage for batteries, and then plugged in the brain control system to start testing.
Under the eyes of everyone, the 7.4-volt battery ran out of power in less than half an hour after the prosthetic limb kept moving.
It is estimated that in the case of daily light use, it will last for an hour at most.
The main power consumption comes from the brain control system and the motor inside the prosthesis.
Chen Shen had a headache: "The capacity of the battery needs to be expanded, even if it increases a little weight." ”
It is difficult to reduce the size of plasma batteries, and it is impossible to use them on prosthetics now, so we can only think of ways to use traditional batteries.
However, this is the first generation of products, and if the battery life is poor, it will be worse, so it's a big deal to send a few more batteries to use in turns.
Ma Zhen didn't have anything to do, and their team didn't have researchers in the field of batteries.
"Then let's try to replace it with a different battery with a bigger power."
The slight one on the side suddenly asked with a little hesitation: "Great God, when is our next test?" Will you still shoot videos? ”
As soon as she asked the question, the rest of the team turned their heads, consciously or unconsciously, obviously extremely concerned about the issue.
They also pay attention to the direction of the wind on the Internet when they are resting.
A group of sailors blew at Eddie's company, and by the way, they had to step on them as stepping stones, and they had been holding their breath in their hearts for this situation.
Originally, they were worried that the tiger was descending from the mountain on the other side, and the technology was really like what they described in the video, it was the technology from the Zenith.
As a result, after Chen Shen clicked, they found that there was a paper tiger opposite, and the propaganda was very beautiful, but the technology was completely inferior to them.
In this case, they are even more angry.
Chen Shen didn't know what they were thinking, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at the days, it was already mid-November.
"The next live-action experiment is scheduled for the 20th, so you should prepare in advance."
At that time, Xie Yiyi will come over to celebrate his birthday, just in time to shoot a test video.
Look at the people on the Internet this time and say that they don't say anything about the confidential picture quality, the queen of the central mother!
Chen Shen had no opinion on Eddie's company, and was even deeply moved by the internationalist spirit of their own water army.
After all, every word they say about themselves will eventually become a bullet that hits them.
On the contrary, those sand sculpture netizens on the Internet who say that his shooting skills are poor, no matter how bad he is, he cannot be worse than the Sanbao photographer used by Yang Ma.
"Good!" Hearing the news, Ma Zhen and the others were very excited, "Great God, we will definitely work hard this time!" ”
Chen Shen looked at these people with some inexplicability, not quite understanding where their excitement came from, this was not the first time to test.
In short, under the expectation of Ma Zhen and others, the 20th will come soon......
