Chapter 58 CNC Machine Tools and 3D Printers
After the test is completed.
Su Wu immediately gave the first formal manufacturing task to this CNC machine tool, which may have reached the world's top performance.
Assist the engineering robot to build the unfinished 3D printer.
With the help of CNC machine tools.
The manufacturing progress of the engineering robot seemed to have been fast-forwarded dozens of times.
The work that originally took six or seven hours to complete was compressed into less than half an hour.
Su Wu simply did not leave the manufacturing center.
I stood near the manufacturing table and watched the two engineering robots and CNC machine tools working.
Don't take a few steps forward until they are finished.
Compared with the huge size of CNC machine tools.
The size of a 3D printer is much smaller, about the size of half a room.
But the resources it consumes are equally great.
At the very least, with the current material reserves of the Su Wu Shelter, it is basically impossible to produce a second 3D printer.
Reach out and press the still warm metal casing of the 3D printer.
New upgrade options pop up in Su Wu's field of vision.
"Option upgrade, integrated 3D printer."
Su Wu chose the most expensive upgrade option. 50 survival points disappeared instantly.
White light blooming.
A device emitting a silvery-white metallic glow was quietly born.
Upgraded 3D printer.
Objects can be printed using metal and non-metal materials such as rubber, glass, etc.
The production efficiency is much lower than that of CNC machine tools. But the advantage is that it can shape objects arbitrarily without being restricted by materials.
More precise parts can also be printed.
Even if enough material is provided, some low-end micron-level chips can be printed.
This is especially important for a shelter that is controlled and managed by artificial intelligence and is full of technological attributes.
“Mastered the production equipment.”
"Then we will solve the problem of material reserves."
"Next, we will be able to increase production capacity."
His eyes wandered over the CNC machine tools and 3D printers, two industrial heavyweights that are currently considered priceless treasures.
Su Wu couldn't help but feel lofty ambitions for the future.
Larger underground shelters like cities and endless automated mechanical equipment may no longer exist only in fantasy.
But I want to turn fantasy into reality.
There are still many difficult obstacles facing Su Wu.
The first is the issue of material quality.
Unlike the manual operation of engineering robots, CNC machine tools and 3D printers have quality requirements for raw materials that are almost several levels higher.
In this situation.
Most of the materials used in the Su Wu Shelter that were removed from old household appliances cannot be used directly.
It must be disassembled further and rebuilt.
"It just so happens that the fourth underground level of the shelter has been completed."
“Now the demand is coming.”
"Let's start by setting up a production line to dismantle and smelt scrap metal."
Faced with the first problem that needed to be solved for the production capacity explosion, Su Wu naturally thought of the 4th floor space which had not yet been formally renovated and the wiring and pipes had not yet been arranged.
According to the original plan.
The fourth floor would also be used to build a small industrial area integrating disassembly, smelting and manufacturing.
Now, because the performance of CNC machine tools has far exceeded expectations and provided powerful manufacturing capabilities, the small production line part of the original plan can be directly discarded. The freed-up space can be used to build larger-scale disassembly and smelting equipment.
“But we can’t take up all the space.”
"A small space will also be needed to accommodate larger vehicles and equipment such as trucks."
With the emergence of CNC machine tools and 3D printers, the originally spacious manufacturing center began to look a bit crowded, and the space left for engineering robots to assemble was quite limited.
In this case, if you want to assemble some bulky items, you have to find another place.
The 4th underground level is pretty much the only option right now.
“Let’s start building.”
Plan the layout of the 4 underground floors.
Su Wu started working immediately on the spot.
Large amounts of finished steel and other raw materials began to be transported to manufacturing centers by construction robots and put into CNC machine tools and 3D printers.
And at this time.
Su Wu suddenly received an alert from artificial intelligence.
A suspicious group appeared near the surface of the shelter.
Su Wu switched the screen on his tablet to monitoring. With the help of artificial intelligence identification, he quickly found the target.
It was a group of about ten people, all wearing heat-insulating suits and armed with guns.
They were hovering within two or three kilometers around the small ground bunker, using telescopes and drones to observe the surface facilities of the entire shelter.
Not far behind them, there were several construction vehicles parked.
It seemed like these were tools prepared to be used for forcible demolition after Su Wu closed the door of the shelter.
"It came quite quickly."
"I don't even want to wait at night."
There was no expression of surprise on Su Wu's face. As early as when he exposed the scale of the hydroponic factory, he knew that there was a high probability that he would encounter this scene.
I just didn't expect that the person who was secretly watching would be so impatient and unwilling to wait even for a few hours.
He brought people here in broad daylight.
"Send out reconnaissance drones to shoot battlefield videos."
"The K2 series agricultural drones have begun loading rockets and are ready to go."
"Activate the 120mm howitzer and destroy them."
Even the engineering team that was digging the fifth underground level was not stopped, and the door to the shelter's exit passage was not closed.
Su Wu simply gave the artificial intelligence a few combat orders.
soon.
As the drone lifting platform sent a reconnaissance drone into the air, the surrounding area of several kilometers was included in the monitoring field of view.
An almost one-sided massacre broke out without any warning.
More than a thousand meters away from the small bunker on the ground.
A captain-like man seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He raised his head and tried to find the source of his uneasiness.
And the next moment, his pupils contracted violently.
He saw a shell fall from the sky and hit near his two companions hundreds of meters away.
Then, the next second, endless flames bloomed like fireworks, instantly covering an area of nearly 100 meters around.
Completely engulfing the figures of his companions.
He couldn't help but open his mouth, and felt his hands and feet go limp with horror.
"What is this?"
"Aren't they here with guns to cause trouble for a private civilian shelter?"
"How could we encounter such a terrible attack——"
However, on the battlefield, being dazed is an extremely deadly thing.
