Chapter 115: Alternatives

"Liu Yi, I checked a lot of information for you, and I didn't find what you were looking for, but I found a similar information and it has been sent to you, please pay attention to check."

Early in the morning, Liu Yi woke up from his sleep and received an email from his mentor Yu Wensong. When I opened it, it was attached with a related technical information, although it was not the technology for making mecha bones, but it seemed to be somewhat related.

Liu Yi was not an expert in this area, so he couldn't figure out whether this information would be useful or not, so he forwarded it to Tang Jie, hoping to come in handy.

Nearly a month later, Liu Yi's virtual experiments using the military's artificial intelligence system also came to fruition. Judging from the results, the final plan given by artificial intelligence is better than the original plan made by Starlink, both in terms of technology and efficiency, and the cost is reduced by about 20, but it still does not meet the most ideal expectations.

Liu Yi went to Tang Jie with the artificial intelligence plan, and was startled when he saw Tang Jie.

"You look scary now, how long has it been since you slept?" Liu Yi asked in surprise.

I saw that Tang Jie's hair was unkempt, his eyes were deeply sunken, his heavy dark circles looked like pandas, and his complexion was not good, full of tiredness.

Tang Jie replied in a hoarse voice, "What are you here for?" Say something quickly, I'm going to be busy if it's okay. ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said: "If you can't do this, you will exhaust yourself, if you collapse, how can our factory still run." ”

"If you don't get the technical solution out quickly, won't it be impossible to run either?" Tang Jie said without any energy: "Now the people in the factory are doubting whether our mecha can be made, and I don't have time to rest now." ”

"But your current state is too bad, in this state, I don't think you can solve the problem." Liu Yi persuaded.

"Okay, okay, what's the matter, you're wasting my time right now." Tang Jie said impatiently.

Liu Yi couldn't persuade her, so he had to send Tang Jie the plan he came up with with artificial intelligence, and asked Tang Jie to see if this plan was feasible.

Tang Jie opened the information sent by Liu Yi, read it carefully from beginning to end, and commented while reading: "The overall idea is right, this place is the same as I thought, and that place is a little different......

When Tang Jie finished reading it all, he said to Liu Yi: "This plan is really good overall, but it still can't meet our needs, but there are some places that we have to learn from." ”

Liu Yi felt very relieved to see that this plan was somewhat useful, and said, "Since it is useful, then I have not worked in vain." Can you tell me what the specific problem is now? ”

"The main problem now is that we need to find a suitable alloy material that is both light and very strong, and the cost must be very low. ”

"Isn't there such a thing in the existing alloys?" Liu Yi asked puzzled.

"There are some, but none of them fully meet our requirements, and if we want to develop a new alloy material, I don't know how long it will take to succeed, which is a very huge expense." Tang Jie replied.

"Then find an alternative material first, make the prototype of the mecha first, and the research on the material can be carried out slowly, so that the problem will be solved."

"But I'm ...... What I want to make is an ideal mecha, and if I use a replacement, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of discounts in performance and durability, and this kind of product is not what I want. Tang Jie said very insistently.

Liu Yi thought for a moment and asked, "If alternative materials are used to make prototypes, do you think Starlink Manufacturing will purchase them?" ”

Tang Jie thought about it seriously and said: "It should be okay, although the bones are not in the most ideal state, but in general, this mecha still has many advantages, and the purchasing department of Starlink Manufacturing should be able to purchase it." ”

Liu Yi clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this enough!" We will make the prototype first, as long as Starlink is willing to purchase, we can continue to conduct material research with advance payment, and then put the mecha into mass production after the bone material is researched, so that the project can be put into operation. ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Tang Jie nodded and said, "You have a point, I have been busy with research, but I have forgotten about the business, it's really ......" Tang Jie said and knocked his head with his fist.

Liu Yi felt very amused in his heart when he saw her make such a childlike act, but on the surface he still tried to hold back.

The two discussed for a while, reorganized the process of the project, and only after everything was finalized did Liu Yi say goodbye and leave.

Back in the city, Liu Yi found Lao Yang and asked Lao Yang to help recommend a company that was good at developing new metal synthetic materials.

In addition to mining, some of these mining companies in Yaqiu are also engaged in smelting business, and Liu Yi hopes to find a company with strong technical strength to carry out material research and development for his own company.

As a member of the committee representing mining enterprises, Lao Yang is naturally very familiar with these large and small mining companies in Yaqiu.

"Geoscience and mining are very strong in this area, you can find a way to find them." Lao Yang said.

"Can they really do it? Money is not an issue, the key is speed, the faster the better. Liu Yi said eagerly.

Lao Yang said: "I don't know if it's fast, but among these mining companies in Yaqiu, Dike Mining has the most experience and technical strength in this area, and if they can't do it, the others can't do it." ”

"Okay, I'll go find them right away." Liu Yi said that he was about to leave.

Lao Yang hurriedly stopped Liu Yi and said, "What are you in a hurry, why do you want to find someone to go in person, I will say hello, and they will send someone over immediately." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here, you contact them immediately." ”

Not long after, several scientific researchers from the geological mining industry hurried to the committee, completely with a sincere and fearful attitude.

Several members of the Provisional Committee are now veritable powerful figures in Yaqiu, especially Liu Yi, who controls both the army and the transportation of ore, and these mining companies do not dare to offend him at all.

Liu Yi told several researchers about his thoughts, and the other party immediately nodded and agreed, and promised to work overtime to conduct research and strive to come up with research results as soon as possible.

Liu Yi said: "You don't have to worry about the research funds, I will bear it, I only have one request, the sooner the better!" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we will complete your commission as soon as possible." Several researchers patted their chests and assured.

As a result of the alternative solution, the development of the mecha was greatly accelerated, and after about dozens of experiments, the main skeleton of the first mecha was finally produced.

While this isn't the ideal product, at least it allows the rest of the work to continue, otherwise the whole project will come to a standstill.

Liu Yi personally went to the factory to see the production process of the mecha, and saw that on a tall assembly platform, hundreds of engineering robots were busy, installing various large and small parts in turn.

The main structure that supports the entire mecha is the X-shaped mecha skeleton designed by Tang Jie, and other parts need to be installed on this skeleton.

The use of a new bone structure makes the parts of the entire mecha have to be redesigned, which is a big adjustment for Liu Yi and the others' factories, and each department must give full play to its own technical level.

Liu Yi looked at the mecha that already had some appearance, and his heart was very excited, and he couldn't help but start imagining what kind of mighty it would look like when the mecha was completed.

Looking at Liu Yi's engrossed look, Tang Jie came to Liu Yi's side and said: "After about a month, you can start testing, the operating system you made is very good, we can use it with a little modification, it really saves a lot of time." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's fine, when the mecha is completed, I will come and see it in person, and remember to inform me when the time comes." ”

"Of course, it can still make you forget." Tang Jie said with a smile.

"By the way, what is the name of this mecha, have you ever thought about it?" Liu Yi asked.

Tang Jie replied: "The product code is X-001, but this is the product number used internally, and I haven't thought about the official name of the product yet." ”

Liu Yi stared at the mecha in assembly, thought for a while, and finally said: "Since this is the first mecha we designed and produced, it is like the dawn before dawn for our new enterprise, I might as well call it: Dawn." ”

"Dawn?" Tang Jie chewed on the name, feeling very good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, this name is very good, let's call it Dawn." ”

A month later, the production of the Dawning mecha was officially completed, and on the day it went offline, Liu Yi came to the factory to watch it in person.

As soon as he walked into the production workshop, Liu Yi saw a mighty, brand-new mecha standing on the transportation platform. The army green outer layer of the freshly painted mecha looks very bright, reflecting various streamers under the illumination of the light, which looks brilliant and extremely dazzling.

With a height of 18 meters and a weight of 28 tons, this mech bears a slight resemblance to the military's usual lancers, but looks thinner than the lancers, and is somewhere between light and heavy.

The prototype of this Dawning mecha, from design to final completion, took almost half a year, condensing the hard work of everyone in the whole factory.

Especially Tang Jie, she has done a few laps for this mecha, which shows how huge the effort she has put in.

Fortunately, there is no Tang Jie's family here, otherwise she would definitely be scolded for not knowing how to take care of her body, and actually tortured herself into this appearance for the sake of the mecha.

However, for Tang Jie, being able to produce this mecha that she had been thinking about for many years had already fulfilled a huge wish, and even if she endured a lot of hardship, she felt full of fun.
