Chapter 941 Is This Thing So Magical?
Spring is here, and all things wake up from their deep sleep, and the grass and trees begin to sprout.The sun sprinkled more and more intense light and heat generously on the earth, and the scent of moistened soil was sprinkled in the evaporating fields, and the insects that had slept all winter began to squirm out of their caves.

Lin Dong didn't feel this way at all.As soon as he came back from home, he plunged into the experimental workshop specially built for him by Changying Group on the top floor.

It was here that Lin Dong assembled most of the satellites in the Bifang satellite system, and it was here that Lin Dong completed the transition from theoretical to operational.

Today's workshop is completely different from before.When assembling satellites, Lin Dong didn't have much experience, and both the tools and the console were made on a whim.Only later, due to the mass assembly of satellites, did it become official here.

Right now, he is on the console, wearing a blue overalls, thinking about assembling a mechanical octopus—in front of him is a semi-finished product.

The tentacles of octopuses should be the best to pretend according to ordinary people's thinking, but in fact they are not.

Because the main functions of this mechanical octopus are reflected in this mechanical tentacles, it is very thin and very strong. Small tools such as wires, knives, drills, welding heads, etc. of different materials are very complicated, and each wire is responsible for one to several functions. , because considering that this mechanical octopus is going to work in space in the future, and many of the materials in it can be "in situ" for 3D printing in space, so it can't be too fine, it must be integrally formed.

Therefore, Lin Dong had to be very patient when assembling, but he couldn't be very careful.This is very challenging both in terms of design and assembly.

Although he started further design, manufacturing and ordering of parts since the end of the new year, it has been almost a month now, and the mechanical octopus is less than half completed.

Lin Dong knows that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the first octopus is completed, he doesn't need to do the rest by himself.These mechanical octopuses will copy the rest one by one like copying individuals-the program is written like this.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Jiang Hongwei is here to see you." Qin Qin opened the door and saw that Lin Dong was installing the parts. Wait in the reception room."

"Let him come up!" Lin Dong didn't raise his head, "Tell him he doesn't need to change his clothes."

"Ok!"

There is really no need to change clothes.This mechanical octopus is different from a satellite.Because it needs to survive in a harsh environment, it does not need to be assembled in a very clean and tidy environment.As long as there are no errors during assembly and there is no problem when writing the program, then the follow-up tasks can be handed over to them directly.

A few minutes later, when Lin Dong was thinking about which tentacles to install first, Jiang Hongwei came to the workshop led by Qin Qin.

Seeing the mechanical tentacles in Lin Dong's hand, he picked up a screwdriver and asked, "Do you want to help?"

"Forget it, you'd better sit there honestly." Lin Dong pointed to the chair next to him: "I'm afraid you won't be able to do this job, if you don't know how to do this job, you will have to pay for it if you stain your tea clothes." You're in trouble!"

"Hee hee..." Qin Qin couldn't help laughing. Lin Dong seldom joked, and only joked like this in front of people who were closer and had a good relationship.

"Well, I happened to be lazy." Jiang Hongwei and Lin Dong were not polite at all, "Don't tell me, I really only have such a decent set of clothes, it's all dirty, and the dry cleaning fee is too expensive. I'm not like you Local tycoon……"

"Stop!" Lin Dong put down the tentacle, sat across from Jiang Hongwei, took off his gloves, Qin Qin handed over the water glass in due course, he took a sip and said, "I didn't invite you here, so don't get caught up in this matter." On my head!"

After Qin Qin poured another glass of water for Jiang Hongwei, she quietly turned and left.She had heard Lin Dong say before that when he was talking with Jiang Hongwei, it was best not to have anyone around him.

"We have already received a notification from the United States." Waiting for Qin Qin to leave, Jiang Hongwei said seriously: "What they said is roughly the same as what you said. But it is not as detailed as you said. And what they reported is indeed that, The asteroid is about to hit the earth in about ten months time, and sent us the location of the asteroid. They want to cooperate with us to solve this matter together - in a week, several major powers will send representatives Discuss the plan together, and you will also be invited."

"Have we observed it with our own telescope?" Lin Dong put down his cup and asked, "With a supercomputer like TaihuLight, it shouldn't be a problem to simulate the orbit, speed and final landing point of the asteroid, right?"

"Because the asteroid passed the sun before reaching the earth, the trajectory changed by the sun's gravitational and repulsive forces has not yet been fully calculated, so the final result has not yet come out." Jiang Hongwei explained: "But at present, it is indeed It is more likely to miss the earth."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Dong asked, "Listen and watch like them, or are you going to tell the truth?"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Hongwei said with a simple and honest face: "We haven't come to an accurate conclusion yet, so we naturally follow the trend. But we are currently building an unmanned detector, and the purpose of asking me to come here is to see and Is there anything you can collaborate on?"

"Whether that thing crashes or runs away in the end, I am going to keep it." Lin Dong patted the big head of the mechanical octopus lightly, "So I will speed up the manufacture of this thing recently, and catch up with that asteroid Before approaching the earth, I put my aerospace plane on it first. It is best to sample in advance. If not, I can keep it, even if it is a satellite of the earth. Always get the good things first and then talk about it! "

"Are you sure there are good things on it?" Jiang Hongwei was a little surprised: "At present, the spectrum obtained by our largest telescope cannot completely determine what substances are on it. How can you be so sure?"

"Of course I have my own way." Lin Dong smiled mysteriously: "In short, it's unlikely to be a lump of iron or stone like ordinary meteorites. If there are really rare metals or alloys, wouldn't it be a hair? Anyway, I’m going to explore space, and now I’m working overtime to complete my goal ahead of schedule, and there’s nothing to lose…”

Jiang Hongwei knew that Lin Dong wouldn't finish telling the truth, and he was already very good at this point, so he changed the subject, pointed to the octopus and said, "Is it so magical? Is it really as smart as you said? Why do I feel a little unreliable?"

"It's just an experiment anyway, if you don't believe it, that's the best!"
