Strictly speaking, Ye Qing's Monster Factory only has one product—the metal rapid engraving machine.

Electric vehicles are handled by the old factory under his father's responsibility, so here comes the problem.

For a factory to grow and become strong, selling only one product is simply a joke.

Therefore, Ye Qing needs to select some easy-to-produce items from the current three black technologies, produce them, and promote them to expand the business scope.

The [Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy Process] seems the easiest at the moment, but it requires setting up an alloy smelting center, which is abnormally complex and large.

Ye Qing plans to wait until the Angry Miners expand the cave to a certain extent, and then set up the alloy smelting center deep inside the cave.

Ye Qing opened the blueprint and carefully studied the human-like motion mechanical arm.

During his college days, his mentor once said that mechanical motion is the simplest and the most complex type of mechanical engineering.

The movement of a single mechanical object is very simple, and a piece of magnet can easily complete it. However, achieving multiple mechanical linkages, especially irregular precise movements, increases the difficulty exponentially.

Machine tools are the best example. When foreign five-axis联动 machine tools dominated the world, domestic factories were still relying on three-axis联动 for processing, and five-axis联动 was a mythical and unattainable technology.

The five-axis联动 processing axis is very similar to a human arm, capable of multi-angle bending for precise processing, but it lacks a hand.

A human hand has 14 finger bones and 5 palm bones.

What does a five-axis machine tool have?

Just a drill bit.

From this, it is clear how difficult it is to completely simulate the precise movement of a human arm.

Yes, everything is about precision.

Without precision, the current human-like mechanical hands can only cause destruction. Relying on them for remote surgery could result in cutting the kidneys instead of the appendix, and sewing up the navel during suturing.

Therefore, Ye Qing has high hopes for the human-like motion mechanical arm. If this technology is thoroughly researched, even if it is not used for medical products, just transplanting it to industrial applications can bring in a fortune.

A human-like flexible excavator, one unit's efficiency can match three ordinary excavators that need to stop and start frequently, which is not an exaggeration.

Remote-controlled robot operations in harsh environments, with two mechanical arms as flexible as human hands, can not only defuse bombs with pliers but also help people with various tasks.

The long-standing problem of vehicles traversing mountainous terrain can also be solved. Just use four mechanical arms to climb mountains like a leopard, or even eight legs like a spider if necessary.

Currently, there are three types of mechanical arm movement methods: pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric.

Pneumatic is the simplest, hydraulic has the greatest power, and electric has the highest precision.

This is a blueprint for an electro-hydraulic drive mechanical arm, combining the dual advantages of hydraulic and electric drives.

The content of the blueprint is very detailed. When zoomed in, one can see the structural diagram of any part.

Even the number of coil groups in a servo motor and the power of a resistor in the controller can be seen.

After studying for over ten minutes, Ye Qing felt dizzy. Just the electro-hydraulic drive's servo motor and hydraulic oil could stump him.

Still...

Let's study the ionization environment purifier.

The ionization environment purifier appears to be an upgraded version of a negative ion air purifier or an electrostatic precipitator.

Ye Qing understands the principles of these devices, as many factories have electrostatic precipitators.

The principle is simple: by releasing ionization, oxygen molecules or dust in the air become charged, attracting each other and increasing their mass, causing them to fall or be adsorbed onto metal collection plates with opposite charges.

However, upon further study, Ye Qing realized he had underestimated the black technology.

This device, called an ionization environment purifier, can work not only in the air but also in water. It can emit specific ionizations based on the nature of pollutants, making the pollutant molecules charged and attracting them towards the generator.

The ionization emitter is the core of the core. Just looking at the structural diagram, Ye Qing gave up. The complexity of this device rivals that of a particle accelerator.

Still, he decided to study the human-like motion mechanical arm honestly. At least the servo motor and hydraulic oil can be replaced with existing products, and the precision execution components, which surpass human imagination, can be processed by the Master of Ingenuity.

The mechanical arm needs to be paired with a motion capture device, which is not too difficult to create with current technology.

Saying and doing, Ye Qing called several Masters of Ingenuity to study how to use the existing materials in the production workshop to manufacture the human-like motion mechanical arm.

The mechanical arm is a thorough black technology. Just the structural design alone can outperform all mechanical engineers.

The difference is like the F22 Raptor stealth fighter compared to the WWII Zero propeller fighter.

The servo motor inside is a cross-era product. After discussing with the Masters of Ingenuity, it was found that if existing materials were used, the size of the human arm could not be achieved, and it would need to be at least ten times larger.

The hydraulic drive, when scaled up, is easy to make. Stainless steel can be used to process hydraulic components and valves. The workshop has a lot of servo motors and stepper motors, all used for machine tools.

After finalizing the procedures, Ye Qing instructed the Masters of Ingenuity to start immediately.

The hydraulic drive of the mechanical arm is somewhat similar to the drive structure of an excavator but is much more complex. Ye Qing opened the Monster Factory's prop store, intending to purchase several high-precision drilling platforms and stainless steel cutting machines to improve processing efficiency.

Just as he finished buying the machine tools, the phone rang. It was his father, and Ye Qing answered.

"Your uncle and Xiaohu are coming to Zhongyun tomorrow for lunch. I've booked a table at the Wanhao Hotel, and we'll have a big feast to celebrate," Ye Jiangning said, sounding very happy. The increased sales of electric vehicles had restored his confidence from the old days.

"Uncle is coming?" Ye Qing was pleasantly surprised. His uncle lived in another province, and they rarely saw each other, but the two families had a good relationship.

"Yes, Xiaohu got accepted into Zhongyun University for his college entrance exam, and your uncle is bringing him to Zhongyun to play around."

Zhongyun University is Ye Qing's alma mater, ranking in the top 20 nationally, a genuine first-tier university.

Xiaohu's full name is Xu Xiaohu, his uncle's grandson. He lived with Ye Qing for a while when he was young, and Ye Qing quite liked this tiger-faced little nephew.

"Right..." Ye Jiangning's joy was tinged with curiosity: "Did you put an ad on TV or the internet? Why have I been getting so many calls from electric vehicle dealers all over the country, even from remote regions?"

"No..." Ye Qing thought, "To advertise nationwide, how much would that cost? Even selling both the old and new factories wouldn't be enough."

"Strange, our electric vehicles are only famous in Zhongyun, but today, over ten dealers from all over the country have called, and the orders have already reached 300 units."

"Another unknown number is calling, probably another order for electric vehicles." The call went to hold.

After two minutes, Ye Jiangning ended the call and said to Ye Qing, "It was indeed a dealer's call, from another province, wanting to order 20 electric vehicles."

"I asked the dealer how they knew about our electric vehicles, and they said some young people came to the store and mentioned seeing an aluminum alloy electric vehicle from Zhongyun City online. The design is very beautiful, and the range is strong, so they also want to buy it."

"The dealer then inquired about the Zhongyun electric vehicle market and learned that our factory is producing this electric vehicle."

"This is bizarre, I haven't done any advertising!" Ye Qing had been busy recently and hadn't even been online. Could it be that some user posted an ad on a well-known forum?

This explanation doesn't make sense. If forum ads could have such an effect, those bosses wouldn't hire celebrities, do TV ads, or hire internet trolls to post ads; they would just get rich.

Of course, if the posts weren't deleted.

Still, the significant expansion of the old factory's sales is a good thing. Ye Qing's side can fully keep up with the parts, but the old factory needs to hire more workers and possibly expand the premises.

He can also send a Master of Ingenuity to train the workers at the old factory.

Previously, when Qiao Yi discussed guiding the workers at the Owen Electric Vehicle Company, Ye Qing realized the Master of Ingenuity's talent in this area.

The Master of Ingenuity's knowledge of mechanical processing is more profound than any mechanical engineering professor Ye Qing has seen in college.

Sending the Master of Ingenuity to train ordinary workers will significantly improve their work efficiency.

He can try it out tomorrow. With the Disguiser work uniform, there's no need to worry about the monsters being exposed.

The night passed without incident!

The next morning, when Ye Qing got up.

A large, strangely shaped mechanical arm, reminiscent of a Terminator, stood on the ground. For mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
