After these days of studying the actors of the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially the five days of contemplation in the "big sarcophagus", Xie Lang already had a prototype of a fighting robot in his mind.

So, that night, Xie Lang started a furnace to smelt iron in the ghost building, and began to make the robot in his heart.

Anyway, people outside the ghost building will not notice the movement inside.

It was the first time that Xie Lang officially started to make iron. It was on the mountain behind his home. At that time, Xie Lang was not yet ten years old. That time the iron was made for him and Beiming to make Tyrannosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. However, that time Iron smelting almost set the whole forest on fire.

Today's Xie Lang's refining technology has improved many times compared to that at that time, especially after learning the ancient Shu refining method from Shen Tie, his refining technology is even more proficient, otherwise Xie Lang would not have the guts to rashly use it. The weapons brought out from the "big sarcophagus" were returned to the furnace for refining.

Another reason why Xie Lang came up with the idea of ​​smelting in a furnace was the wooden hammer in Xie Lang's hand.

The wooden hammer weighs at least 150 jin. Xie Lang feels a little hard to swing it in his hand, but Xie Lang knows very well that this wooden hammer is simply a good treasure. Using this wooden hammer to forge iron should be able to produce more pure , more profitable steel.

What is the reason for this?

Generally, the sledgehammers used for blacksmithing are made of thick steel, and few other materials are used, let alone wood. You must know that the temperature of the steel pulled out of the iron furnace is extremely high, and ordinary wood is on it. It can ignite fire, let alone blacksmithing, but this wooden hammer is not only much heavier than ordinary steel, but even if it is placed in the iron furnace, it has not been seen to catch fire, even when it is taken out of the iron furnace. , the temperature of the wooden hammer did not change.

It was indeed unbelievable, Xie Lang felt that if the material of this wooden hammer was not something like "sacred wood", then it was the Feng Wen on the head of this wooden hammer that was releasing incredible power.

But Xie Lang didn't have the time to study the origin and structure of this wooden hammer. He just wanted to use this wooden hammer to make better iron.

The so-called wooden hammer striking iron is actually just a legend. Xie Lang once heard an old blacksmith in the Ming Dynasty say that when a hammer strikes iron, it is hard to hard. , it will hurt the "rigidity" of the iron original, no matter how pure the iron is, it can't reach the state of rigidity and sharpness, but the wooden hammer is used to softly strike the steel, which can remove the impurities in the pig iron. The impurities can maintain the original "rigidity" of pig iron, and even make its "rigidity" more perfect.

But the prerequisite is to be able to find this kind of wood that can be forged.

Among the five elements, there is a saying that metal overcomes wood, which means that steel itself restrains wood. When using wood to strike iron, it is impossible to damage the "rigidity" of steel itself. In the process of forging iron, a mass of fire can be produced, but this mass of fire can carry out a second forging of steel, increasing its "rigidity" to a higher level.

Seeing that the weapons in the iron furnace were already burning crimson, Xie Lang took out one of the weapons with his pliers, then swung the wooden hammer violently, and smashed it heavily on the weapon.

"Boom,~"

Where the wooden hammer and the iron object collided, a cloud of blue flames burst out, like fireworks exploding, and at the same time, there was a thunderous sound when they collided.

Seeing the flames and hearing the sound of thunder, Xie Lang couldn't mention how happy he was.

Thunder and fire beat.

It turned out that this unremarkable wooden hammer turned out to be the thunder hammer that countless blacksmiths dreamed of. It is said that the steel made by this thunder hammer is not only free of any impurities, but also extremely rigid and tough. The steel that has experienced thunder and fire is really suitable for making magic weapons The steel of the sharp weapon, it is said that the steel forged by Leihuo Hammer, when you strike it, the echo you hear will be mixed with the sound of thunder.

"It seems that my luck and character are not so good,"

Xie Lang waved the wooden hammer joyfully, while thinking to himself, if it wasn't for good luck and good character, how could God send such a good thing to him? Lei Huo hammer, that is not an ordinary thing. , if Shen Tie knew that he had a Thunder Fire Hammer, he would definitely go crazy with jealousy.

It was already the second night when I came out of the ghost building.

At this time, the prototype of Xie Lang's fighting robot has been successfully manufactured.

When he left the haunted building, Xie Lang was really tired and sleepy. He was on the verge of collapse after several days of overloaded work. Seeing that the prototype of the robot had been completed, Xie Lang's nerves finally relaxed. In other words, it's time for a good night's sleep.

The so-called robot prototype means that neither the appearance nor the internal structure is perfect, but it barely has a robot shelf, and it will take a long time to perfect and improve in the future. This involves Xie Lang's "robot upgrade plan" .

Now the robot Xie Lang made is nearly [-] centimeters high, and it is black all over. It has obviously not been polished and polished carefully. It feels like a robot, and now it's just a robot skeleton at best.

Yes, it is more appropriate to describe it as a robot skeleton, because this robot still needs to be perfected and improved in many places. At present, it is just an empty frame, but this empty frame is a fusion of the internal structure of the Western Zhou actor and the steel giant. Yes, even if it is an empty frame, its interior is built with the most exquisite mechanisms, possessing incredible abilities.

That night, Xie Lang had a dream. In the dream, the skeletal robot was showing great power. There were lightning and thunder between punches and kicks, and it wiped out all the robots in the RoboCup International Robot Competition. It was so majestic...

But sweet dreams always wake up quickly.

Early the next morning, Xie Lang was woken up by his cell phone.

"Xie Lang, today is a friendly match between colleges and universities in Chengdu. I haven't bothered you these days. I hope you have already made your own fighting robot," Liang Yi said. "Taking advantage of today's friendly match, take it out and let me Also know and know, "

"The friendly match starts at 09:30, can't you just let me sleep a little longer," Xie Lang said, "I haven't slept for several days,"

"Don't go to sleep, come over and show me your fighting robot first, so that I can have a clear idea, so that I won't make a fool of myself when I have time," Liang Yi said with a little worry, "You are my specially selected team member , if I screw up this time, my face will be dull too,"

"Okay, I'll be over in a while." After Xie Lang hung up the phone, he slept on the bed for another 10 minutes before rushing to Liang Yi's office.

On the way, Xie Lang ran into Liang Ren.

"Good morning, Dr. Liang," Xie Lang greeted proactively.

Liang Ren smiled at Xie Lang: "I heard that you are already an official member of the robot competition team, congratulations, let me just say, how can I be wrong with my eyes, you must be a genius in robotics Alright, master, I hope you can stand out in the RoboCup International Competition and win glory for our school,"

"I'll do my best," Xie Lang said modestly, "I'll go to Professor Liang first, he has something to do with me,"

"Go ahead, it must be about today's friendly match between colleges and universities in Chengdu," Liang Ren said, "It's just a friendly match, I never thought he would value it so much, Xie Lang, I expect you to be the fighting champion of the RoboCup International Competition, "

"Hey, how can I be so good," Xie Lang said with a smile, saying goodbye to the two.

When Xie Lang arrived in Liang Yi's office, he saw two bags of bread and milk on the desk, and Liang Yi looked anxious.

"Haven't had breakfast yet, let's have some bread and milk to make do with it," Liang Yi said to Xie Lang. It turned out that he bought the bread and milk specially for Xie Lang, which moved Xie Lang a little.

"I know Professor Liang, what you want to see the most right now is that fighting robot," Xie Lang said with a smile, grabbing the milk in his hands.

"That's right, hehe, I can't wait, after all, you are my last bet," Liang Yi laughed.

Xie Lang rolled up his sleeves, and that ugly and simple skeleton robot appeared in front of Liang Yi.

It turned out that in order to carry it with him, Xie Lang changed the skeleton robot a little so that it could be attached to his arm. In this way, it would be like a Tyrannosaurus, and he would not have to worry about being lost.

Liang Yi obviously also saw this robot that looked like a simple skeleton. Judging from his eyes, it seemed that he lacked confidence.

With a thought in Xie Lang's mind, the limbs of the skeleton robot that were tightly attached to Xie Lang's arm stretched out flexibly, and then rolled upside down from Xie Lang's arm.

Originally, Liang Yi didn't have much confidence in Xie Lang's ugly robot, but after seeing the robot's movements, she immediately smiled and said happily, "Okay...Okay, although it looks a little ugly, its movements are very flexible. At present, the robot made by the most advanced G-Xpe chip may not be as flexible as yours."

Why does Liang Yi place so much emphasis on flexibility? Flexibility is also the degree of reaction, which is one of the main parameters for judging the performance of a robot. Besides, as a fighting robot, if the flexibility is not enough, not only will it not be able to touch the opponent's side, but it may become a robot for any robot. The object of slaughter by others.

"Do you have a name for this fighting robot?" Liang Yi smiled. "I believe it will become a hot topic soon. If there is a name, it will be easier to promote it in the future."

"Actually... I thought about it, this thing is equivalent to a skeleton now, I might just call it 'ribs'," Xie Lang said.

"Spare Ribs, isn't there a more prestigious and nice name than this?" Liang Yi said with a smile.

Xie Lang said in a deep voice: "The ribs are 18.9 centimeters high, weigh 60 kilograms, can jump up to 4 meters vertically, and can move at a speed of up to 19 meters per second. A 200-kilogram object..."

Stopping Xie Lang to report a series of data, Liang Yi was really surprised and delighted. The surprise was that the "ribs" had such high performance. Of course, the joy was that the competition team of Southwest University was likely to win the RoboCup international competition. However, when he was pleasantly surprised, Liang Yi was also a little disappointed, because he did not expect that the robot technology he had studied in these years was not as good as the mechanism technique handed down from ancient times.

"Okay, that's pretty good," Liang Yi said to Xie Lang, "But, does this robot really weigh 60 kilograms?"

It seems that even if it is made of lead, it is only about 10 kilograms, and the weight of 60 kilograms is really unbelievable.

But Liang Yi tried it with her hands, and the "ribs" actually didn't move at all, which was completely different from its fragile appearance.

Regarding this point, Xie Lang is a little proud. After all, the steel used in the ribs was forged by himself with the Thunder Fire Hammer. It looks fragile, but the actual weight is so big.

Of course, the steel on the ribs is not just heavy.

At 09:30, the Robot Friendship Contest in Colleges and Universities in Chengdu finally kicked off.

Although it was just a friendly match, it attracted many robot enthusiasts from various colleges and universities in Chengdu, as well as some local and school media.

The friendly match was held in the exhibition hall of the school's Science and Technology Museum. When Xie Lang and Liang Yi arrived there, it was already crowded with people.

Liang Yi officially introduced Xie Lang to the remaining seven members of the competition team including Wei Qing.

Xie Lang could feel that these seven members had a certain degree of hostility towards him, and maybe in their eyes, he was a "relationship household" who squeezed out Zhu Xiaotian's quota.

In this friendly match, there are seven participating teams from six schools, because Southwest Polytechnic University actually formed two participating teams. According to the introduction of their team leader, one of the two teams is formed by the school, and the other is a student. formed spontaneously.

The first traditional project is the robot soccer game.

The competition method is 5 vs. 5, and the time is 15 minutes. The seven teams in the competition had a friendly match, but although it was a friendly match, both sides seemed to be engrossed in the match, and the competition was very fierce. It didn't feel like a friendly match at all, but It smells like gunpowder.

The robots participating in the competition are all robot dogs, without any special creativity, but Xie Lang does not know that in fact, many robot R&D teams in universities do not have the ability to develop completely independently, so they can only copy on classic robot models And secondary development, and the robot dog is one of the most classic models, and it is also a hot topic in the football robot competition in the past two years, because everyone naturally chose the robot dog as the prototype for development.

Compared with independent development, copying and secondary development, the technical gap is not a little bit, but the effect gap is not very big, so this football match, although Southwest University is superior, but Still lost a game, and it happened to be on the student-built competition team of Southwest Polytechnic University.

Liang Yi's face was ashen. Obviously, this result made him a little surprised and angry. Liang Yi was quite proud. In his eyes, except for Southwest University, the robot competition teams of other schools in Chengdu were only "amateur level", so Liang Yi The requirement for her competition team is "must win all games", but now, she actually lost a game, or lost to an amateur among amateurs, of course Liang Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Professor Liang, we..." Wei Qing also felt dull, and was about to explain to Liang Yi, but was interrupted by Liang Yi waving.

"Get ready for the next round of fighting competition," Liang Yi said lightly, and then said to Xie Lang: "How about it, did you see anything in the previous football robot competition?"

"I don't know much about the technical aspects of soccer robots, but I think the team built by the students in the Industrial University seems to be stronger than the team formed by their school. Compared with our competition team , the strength should be comparable, but they did a better job in arranging robot positions, and organized defense and offense better during the game. Well, it may be that the opponent has also carefully arranged the formation. This is We didn't think of it before," Xie Lang analyzed realistically.

"Hmph, it would be great if it was their real strength," Liang Yi snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "They used the robot technology from Japan last year, but they only slightly changed the appearance, thinking I couldn't tell Xuanxu, I have been engaged in robot research and development for so many years, and I can tell at a glance that their robots use Japanese technology. However, our competition team did not live up to it, and actually lost to others. Really, wait for the fighting competition At that time, for this team, you have to give them some color."
