Chapter 221 Mechanical Inspiration
"As expected of a student taught by Professor Zhang Yuan, your signal anti-interference capability is already quite good. However, your design has great potential. Have you considered using the bipedal mode?"
Wang Yi gave sufficient explanations and guidance on the works of several teams. They were all simple pointers and only required some fine-tuning, but they could all play a positive optimization role!
In fact, this kind of robot may not look like much and its functions seem simple, but in fact it involves quite a lot of aspects, so they need a group of four.
Wang Yi can easily find problems and make optimization suggestions for simple solutions, which is definitely not as easy as it appears!
At least their team leader didn't notice it for such a long time, but the other party found the problem at just one glance. This reaction speed and comprehensive knowledge were enough to shock the teachers and students on the scene.
This is a huge pressure that only this group of original academic masters can feel.
It felt like Teacher Wang Yi was the boundless ocean; no matter how they rowed, it was always within the other's knowledge .
Being able to come up with an effective and practical optimization plan so easily and simply is actually just like an ordinary person looking at elementary school questions and giving some casual pointers!
And it’s not the kind of guidance , but it instantly understands your level of knowledge and theoretical level, and proposes a direction for you to explore, which opens your open-mindedness and finds a new path!
At the same time, among these four groups, Wang Yi still found some interesting things, that is, the work of Tianjin University led by Zhang Yuan.
They used a quadruped robot equipped with a voice control module. In addition, they also assembled a simple balancing device, so the bottom body of the quadruped robot is quite stable.
It was precisely because they added this device that Wang Yi suggested that they could use two feet.
"We started by designing a bipedal foot. The two new interfaces left can be used to make a small robotic arm to perform some operations. However, although a balancing device was made, the chip is too simple to handle complex problems."
The captain of the Jin University who had previously argued against others on behalf of Wang Yi now looked at Wang Yi with shining eyes, as if he was looking at a living idol.
"The functions of your chip are indeed simple. I took a rough look at the requirements for your competition. In fact, to enhance the stability of the sense of balance and add the crane function to complete the connection with your voice program, you only need to add an 8-bit 51 single-chip microcomputer as auxiliary control. It is within the specifications."
The 51 single-chip microcomputer can be considered an antique, but it also has a very classic structure. It may not make much sense to say this directly, but the cheapest 51 single-chip microcomputer only costs a few cents, so you can roughly understand what it is. It can also be considered a chip.
However, if you want to add a new microcontroller, it is not something that can be added quickly. It is necessary to make corresponding adjustments according to the interface, separate the balancing function, and modify the corresponding writing program.
But since Wang Yi brought it up, he naturally gave relevant optimization suggestions, which were suggestions that the contestants could understand based on their knowledge and that they could improve on by themselves.
This immediately made them very happy, and they immediately started tinkering with the equipment on the spot, apparently preparing to work all night.
In fact, when Wang Yi looked at their seemingly simple robots, he had some new inspirations in his mind.
Exoskeletons, power armor, iron suits, and various structures of Gundam are all pieced together in my mind.
They all have two legs and two hand interfaces. Just maintain self-stability and expand a little and it will come out. This should be understandable, right?
…
"You're so annoying~, you didn't even call me when you came out."
On the day of the robot competition, Qian Yayan gently hit Wang Yi with her eyes full of water.
"Oh, you were in a meeting. I didn't call you, Xiaoke."
Wang Yi said casually while looking at the stadium in front of him.
"It's because she's on the set that she has to call me."
Qian Yayan's performance was getting more and more licking.
At this time, the robot of the Tianjin team also came out. It changed from four legs to two legs with big feet, and it also had two large pincers.
The balance, movement and rolling are all quite good, and the key is that it can also be voice-controlled.
Although the large pliers cannot perform any fine operations due to time and material limitations, they can still grab some objects that are not afraid of being damaged and flip them over.
It can be said that in this competition, their robot is definitely eye-catching.
To put it simply, if you zoom in a little, carry a magazine and install a camera, and replace the pliers with a gun, you can do it in actual combat.
Many judges came over to take a look, looked through some parameters, and commented on them.
For something a group of students could produce, it's pretty good.
Without any suspense, the team from Tianjin University won the first place, and some people from companies and enterprises came to them to ask about their employment ideas.
Talent is in short supply everywhere.
There are many robot-related manufacturers!
Wang Yi actually found a lot of small inspirations through these simple robots on the spot, and even had new ideas for simplifying the mass production of batteries.
As for Iron Man and Gundam, there are still big problems with energy, but exoskeletons and power armor are designs that can really be put into practice.
If Umbrella wants to rise, it must have its own military factory!
And it can't be placed in one place.
But of course, it might be a bit sensitive to move directly to the military industry. Now that we have some new ideas about batteries, we can start building some civilian factories first.
The 8100wh/kg lithium battery made by hand cannot be mass-produced, but after participating in this event today and seeing these little guys add some energy-saving settings to improve battery utilization, Wang Yi had some inspiration.
Others cannot apply it directly to the battery, but I can.
Magic is so magical!
Originally at the beginning, Wang Yi was thinking that an energy output of one-tenth of the intensity would be enough, but now it seems that after fine-tuning, it should not be a problem to exceed one thousand in energy density.
That is to say, it can achieve an energy density ten times that of current commercial lithium batteries, and it can also be extremely stable, non-hazardous, and charge quickly enough.
And now that there has been a major breakthrough in the battery issue, we can enter the related field as soon as the previously acquired factories are integrated.
It can be said that with the trump card of battery in hand, Umbrella can enter multiple fields!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have other things or materials, you can buy them!
But the battery is unique to us!
But there are also disadvantages. Batteries are too important. It can even be said that they involve energy security issues in disguise!
It's fine that others can't copy the technology because their processes are not up to par, but keeping it secret and not selling it will definitely touch the anti-monopoly red lines of many countries.
Anyway, they will apply for a patent . Theoretically, if they can completely replicate the arrangement of metal atoms in the Li-Ag alloy, they can also leverage the natural magic of laziness to gain new properties.
If you can't do it yourself, you can't blame us for the monopoly...
He originally just came out to relax, but unexpectedly he got such a good reward. Wang Yi was quite satisfied, and he felt even more iconic when he saw Qian Yayan, the little bootlicker next to him.
But it is also true that with the frequent infusion of higher-level life forms like Wang Yi, plus the rest magic given to her during experiments, her and Liu Xiaoke's physical fitness will get better and better.
The skin is more supple and indeed looks better...
…
In the following time, Wang Yi naturally chose to go shopping and eat.
Although the special food of Shanghai is not well-known, it gathers all kinds of flavors from all over the world. Wang Yi and Qian Yayan also went in and out here and tried all the food they picked.
When he was in a bad mood, he even shot a lot of food videos using the TT account registered by Lin Shiqin. Neither he nor Qian Yayan showed their faces, and they mainly shot videos of food and the sounds of eating.
The video processing was directly handed over to Lin Shiqin, and Wang Yi specifically instructed that the traffic would be provided in the evening and early morning.
This kind of bad taste also made Wang Yi suddenly feel that it was not unacceptable to create a TT video account.
Happiness is meant to be shared. Why don’t you get up and order some midnight snack?
Unfortunately, the leisure time is also short. This time, the inspiration has achieved a breakthrough. After Wang Yi shopped and ate for a while, he also had to start preparing to put the battery into mass production. From the time Wang Yi made the arrangements to now, Umbrella has been buying all over the world.
However, some factories cannot be used immediately after purchase. Resource integration, manpower management, debts, etc. all involve very complicated operations.
I have to complete the design of the magic circuit for the production line before the integration of Umbrella is completed.
After checking in at the last stop in Shanghai, it’s almost time to go back…
…
After admiring the city scenery of Shanghai for two hours in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the tallest presidential suite in Shanghai, Wang Yi took Qian Yayan, who was a little weak in walking, to the finale restaurant selected by Lin Shiqin.
This is also a private restaurant. Wang Yi made a reservation when he arrived. He just got his turn today, so it was placed last.
It can be said that the high-consumption places in Shanghai far exceed the vertical stores. The dishes of private dishes also need to depend on the ingredients of the day.
Wang Yi was lucky enough to come across wild yellow croaker, but the price was really expensive. Five kilograms of fish cost more than six thousand yuan per kilogram. In addition, this place charged an extra service fee. It was said that the chefs were descendants of imperial chefs.
I just don't know how it can be better than Xie Ji's vertical store.
In addition to wild yellow croaker, the ingredients of other dishes are also quite good, including those flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, and running on land. But at least the public menu does not include some of the ones on the protection list, but they will probably be available in private.
However, Wang Yi only eats for the taste and does not pursue the so-called taste. For example, he often eats truffles, but he feels that they are not as delicious as poisonous mushrooms and are much inferior.
Since it is a private restaurant, the location must not be in a bustling commercial area, but on a little-known street in the old city area of Pu District.
Only in this way can we reflect the brand's appearance. Similarly, we only receive a limited number of guests a day and only accept reservations.
Wang Yi didn't care about the appearance when he went out. He just wanted convenience, so he took the subway and an online taxi to get here.
The online taxi driver seemed to know where this place was, and his expression looked a little strange when he saw Wang Yi taking a taxi with a beauty of this level.
In other words, Lin Shiqin restrained herself after being scolded by Wang Yi, otherwise he would definitely start to scare people with this expression...
