Monster Factory

Chapter 390: Researching Robots

Everyone had fun until ten o’clock in the evening. After that, Ye Qing asked Juli to work as a driver to send Bai Dour at her home and he summoned several managers to start a video conference.

At the meeting, Ye Qing asked them to arrange an employee’s business trip tomorrow, focusing on investigating the market of all-round robots. By the way, he should go to Asoshima City where Amano Heavy Industries is located, in the name of the dealer to find out the specifics of this robot.

"Boss, I just asked a few industrial equipment dealers in Shanghai City. Only two of them said they had heard of the omnipotent robot. It seems to be a new product just launched a few days ago, but no salesperson sells this product. Where some agents came to their home to recommend this product."

"There is not even a product introduction manual, which is not in line with common sense. Usually, a new product of a large company must be distributed to distributors around the world before it is sold. Amano Heavy Industries does this as if it deliberately wants to avoid our city of Shanghai."

"Analyzed from limited data, this should be the case."

"Go to other provinces tomorrow and purchase two more omnipotent robots, then come back." Ye Qing nodded and ended the video conference.

The next morning, Ye Qing didn’t go to the company but in the non-standard product workshop of the factory, waiting for Rong Wei to send the omnipotent robot to the door. The company dispatched more than ten employees early in the morning who rushed to nearby provinces and cities to collect more news about the omnipotent robot and to send it in the afternoon to the factory where it will be expected.

It seems it is destined to be a sleepless night for Ye Qing that day. Researching the omnipotent robot was only part of it. In the evening, the last batch of five-axis machining centers ordered by Ye Qing would be delivered to the door. It was the most exciting time in the monster factory when it upgrades to the fifth stage. So, Ye Qing is waiting for the robots here, or rather he waited for those five-axis machining centers would be delivered to the door.

In the non-standard product workshop, only one Master Craftsman was busy. Ye Qing was sitting on a mechanical engineering chair and playing with a mobile phone. As a result, the Master Craftsman came from behind and gently patted Ye Qing’s shoulder and handed a pair of dark black sunglasses.

"What do you do with my glasses?" Ye Qing said strangely.

"Boss, the iron ruler you want has been made, and now you have to do the final step of lettering." Master Jin pointed to a huge machine with a pure white shell and dark green glass observation window behind him: "I am going to use the maximum power Laser engraving; you should wear protective glasses."

Ye Qing took out the data glasses directly from the inside pocket, it could automatically reduce the too strong visible light so that his eyes were always in the most comfortable state. And when the Master Craftsman carefully put a pure black iron rule into that rare-quality solid laser engraving machine, and the vacuum device evacuated the air from the work area, a horrible white light that could not be described in words has instantly hit on a pure black iron ruler.

After the light is scattered and blocked by the glass protective cover, the entire workshop is turned into a sea of orange light and after half a minute the pure white laser stopped working. So, when the iron ruler which had been heated to fiery red shape was cooled again and turned into black, the pure white laser was turned on again.

I don’t know how long it took, Ye Qing who was playing with his mobile phone, was interrupted by the sound of the intercom next to him.

"Boss, there is a truck outside the factory applying for entry. They said they were workers from Gangjie Chemical, and they came to send a piece of equipment."

"Let them go to the transfer warehouse to unload and send the driver an explorer robot by the way." Ye Qing stood up, ready to go to the transfer warehouse to pick up the goods in person.

Back in the non-standard product workshop again, Ye Qing has extra hard labor to do. Carrying a huge wooden frame, the wooden frame fastened with an iron sheet was pulled away by Juli drudgery, revealing the orange engineering plastic packaging box inside. An abstract mountain stamping logo appears on the outsourcing box. Many people who were in contact with the industrial assembly line were familiar with this mountain logo. Because it was the famous Anqi Heavy Industry logo.

This is like Li Kui and Li Gui. Amano Heavy Industries was a joint venture company founded by the well-known An Qi Heavy Industry and domestic Tianli Group. So, the logo design of the Tianli Heavy industry is very similar to that of the Anqi Heavy Industry.

After opening the orange engineering plastic packaging box, which was displayed in front of Ye Qing’s eyes, it was a beautiful robot with tightly seamed joints and a metal paint process on the exterior. He lightly tapped the lower shell with a metal rod and a uniform and crisp metal sound echoed. This showed that the shell was made of light alloy steel, which has a certain metal aluminum composition. He moved the robot to the ground.

It turned out after half a day of reading the instruction and studying its control equipment. Ye Qing found it was also wearable, made of engineering plastics, and aviation aluminum. But the hand was different from the five fingers of the Monster Heavy Industry that could sense the trajectory of movement. This was designed as a thumb and middle-finger index finger, corresponding to the robot’s three-claw grasping structure.

In fact, as early as the introduction of the mechanical engineering chair, Ye Qing had considered the possibility of the product being counterfeited or borrowed from technology. But this worry was not great, because even if others copy it, its cost would be unacceptably high.

The black technology of the bionic mechanical arm lies in a complete set of power output structure which can smoothly simulate the trajectory of human movement, unlike the mainstream robots on the market which have a clear "tap-tap" mechanical sense when moving and the same stiffness as the strap.

In theory, as long as it is a mechanical product, there is the possibility that it will be copied by the hoist. Even for the Pearl Aero Engine in the industrial crown. But why the Aero engines which are all made up of metallic parts, and currently there is no such thing in the world and the shape of the metal part made by a certain company cannot be made by other companies since it can be counterfeited. Why is aero engine technology only available to a few countries in the world?

Two points; one material and two structures.

The most important blade of the engine is often discussed on the Internet. This is what looks like a plowing machine blade that is everywhere in the countryside and relies on a tractor to power. It has stumped 99% of the world’s top industrial equipment manufacturers.

To withstand high temperatures, high strength, and the most difficult to single crystal, these are not mentioned just look its shape. It looks like a simple blade with a complex hollow air channel inside for cooling.

What is the complexity of this air channel?

The three-dimensional honeycomb structure can ensure that when the blades rotate at high speed, and the overall structural strength will not be affected by the internal air channel. So, what can be done in theory, and what can be done in practice are two concepts.

The same is true of several products produced by Monster Heavy Industry, from the first generation of relatively simple mechanical engineering chairs to the explorer robots that currently require accuracy against the sky. Its internal structure is so complex that the mechanical engineer can see it, so he can’t even feel the mood to draw drawings. Anyway, it’s impossible to make a qualified product after painting. So, why waste so much effort?

Ye Qing has already applied for a patent but for mechanical products, with a slight modification, others can legally avoid the patent restrictions.

Now that Ye Qing saw this robot with his own eyes, even the operating equipment was imitated, and the selling price was lower than that of Monster Heavy Industry. In addition to being angry, he had to admire the strength of the Amano Heavy Industry.

"Prepare the camera record, and I want to operate the robot."
