Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 16

"Okay!" Qi Yue readily agreed.Although she couldn't tell from her expression that she was particularly excited or looking forward to it, this good word was full of momentum.With that fair and immature face, it looks particularly vigorous.

Claude smiled naively, and said, "Lulu, you... hey...." He was very helpless.The so-called chief assembly designer is only because no one else on the team knows this kind of thing.

And he is just scratching the surface.Although compared to most people of the same age and grade, he is already quite good, but if he really wants to compete, he is really not enough to watch.

But since Lulu has spoken, he will not refuse.

Lulu smiled mischievously, ran to the next table in two or three steps, and pulled out a heavy-looking large box from underneath.

Seeing her, Claude and Angel knew what she was thinking, so they couldn't help but stepped forward, "Lulu, just say what you want, we'll move."

Qi Yue watched quietly as they took out a pile of dark substances, and the two boys didn't seem to be very heavy when they lifted them together.This substance also has no metallic luster, and looks like plastic from a distance.When they put the approximately one and a half cubic meter, almost spherical substance on the ground, there was still a dull crashing sound.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes, and quietly walked over.It's hard to tell what's going on inside her from the outside.

"Dumb gold." Lulu only said two words, then looked at Qi Yue, as if waiting for her response.

Qi Yue squatted down, carefully following the light to look at the texture of the material. "The first synthetic metal discovered on Duolun Star is light, and the metallic luster can only be seen when viewed from a certain angle at close range. It is malleable, soft, and its electrical conductivity and heat transfer performance are relatively average..."

Without McDull's analysis and reminder, Qi Yue also recognized the thing in front of him.She put her hand on the metal and was about to touch it when she suddenly thought of something and raised her eyes to look at the three people.

At this time Angel made a gesture of invitation to her.Qi Yue really wiped his fingers across the metal surface, then sniffed the smell, and finally licked his fingertips.

"The ratio is very accurate, but..." Qi Yue seemed to be hesitating whether to continue talking, paused for two or three seconds before replying: "It's not natural, but synthetic."

When Claude heard this, he couldn't help admiring: "The children nowadays are really getting better and better!" It sounds logical.What surprised him even more was that she was able to judge that it was synthetic!
Qi Yue frowned when she heard the word child, but only looked at Lulu and asked, "What do we compare?"

"Wait." Claude stopped Lulu who was about to speak, "Let me tell you first, how did you tell the difference? You must know that this piece of synthetic dumb gold was not easy for us to apply for, although it is not natural. The original, but very similar to the original, almost no one can see it in the absence of instrument inspection and detailed data."

Qi Yue didn't hide anything, stood up, pointed to the dumb gold surface, and said, "There is a color difference."

"Color difference?" The three of them were all surprised and moved closer to look at it, but no matter how they looked at it, it was pure black, and there was no difference at all.

Qi Yue had no choice but to say: "Look against the light and follow its texture. The texture of this synthetic metal is a natural texture, not the result of engineering polishing. In the depression, the normal metal will shine, so that part will not It looks dull because of the concave. However, synthetic metals do not have this feature, so when viewed from a certain angle, there will be a difference in light and dark colors. This is not a problem with the composition, but the sequence of synthesis that causes the internal structure to be different. ...."

When the three people heard this, they could no longer care about the admiration and curiosity, and leaned over to look at it, but they couldn't see the difference between light and dark that Qi Yue said.

Angel first suppressed the suspicion in his heart, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Qi Yue is really amazing, I am more and more interested in you now. You must join us!"

Qi Yue nodded and said, "Let's talk about the competition first."

At this time, Lulu jumped out and danced and said, "Deng dong dong! Your task is to obtain a piece of material from this dumb gold, and process it into a square by hand. There is no limit to the length of the side. In the end, whoever processes the square will be the most square. , that is, the closer the ratio of length, width and height is the winner. Genius girl Qi Yue VS team ace Claude, who is the winner today? Let us wait and see!"

"No problem?" Claude asked very gentlemanly.

Qi Yue looked at him confidently and said, "Of course no problem!"

Parts processing, which is the basis of the mechanical profession.Even the mechanical theory of learning will require this kind of practice.Therefore, the competition proposed by Lulu is relatively not too difficult.It can be said that she fully considered Qi Yue's age and status, and did not make things difficult for her.

Although there are very few high school graduates who can get started with professional machining, Qi Yue is not an ordinary person after all.

She and Claude went forward and took out a piece of dumb gold respectively.It is not difficult to cut the soft matte gold, and almost all kinds of cutting methods are applicable.Because it is required to be completely manual, neither Qi Yue nor Claude can use computers or other electronic equipment, lathes, etc.

Qi Yue carefully compared the original shape, and after thinking about it, he took a dumb gold embryo of about 10 cubic centimeters from the top.

The two people's methods are basically similar, taking materials, measuring, and polishing.From the perspective of onlookers, both of them are undoubtedly people who are familiar with mechanical processing steps and strictly abide by the specifications. Only when it comes to the final details, do they have different processing methods due to different styles.

In comparison, Claude's approach is in one step.But Qi Yue is much more conservative. Even when there is still a distance from the standard line, she still stops from time to time to measure, check, and compare repeatedly.From an outsider's point of view, it looks very unconfident and uneasy.

Claude finished the processing first, and after placing an 8 cubic centimeter cube on the table, he waited patiently for Qi Yue.The latter also almost put down the cube in his hand a few seconds later, waited quietly, did nothing until 30 seconds later, and said, "I'm fine too."

Lulu and Angel walked forward together, and they were sensible enough not to touch the work with their hands.After they looked at the works of the two of them carefully, Angel turned on the standard equipment in the laboratory to measure the results.

The blue light beams gathered to form a water curtain-like scene, sweeping across the two cubes on the table respectively.Then, the data is clearly displayed and marked, which is clear at a glance.

After reading the results, the four people all showed surprise, and looked at Qi Yue one after another: "Oh my god, you are so good!" Lulu was the first to praise.

In the result, Qi Yue not only has the difference between the lengths of each side smaller than Claude, but also has two sides whose length error is within one-thousandth of a centimeter.This is of course not a big deal for computer-controlled machining, but it is simply incredible for manual processing.

Qi Yue smiled and said, "It's also a coincidence."

Claude also said at this time: "Qi Yue, how did you do it? It's not the first time I process this material, but the error is relatively large every time, this time it's not bad." His For a cube, the error of several side lengths is about 0.1 mm, which is indeed quite good.

After hearing this, Qi Yue didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Actually, it is mainly due to the characteristics of the material of dumb gold. Its heat transfer is very poor, but its coefficient of thermal expansion is not small. Especially at the edges, under the touch of hands , it is easy to produce errors in elongation and contraction. It is best to wear professional gloves to process, so as to avoid the acidity of finger sweat from reacting with metal. If there are no special insulating gloves, it is necessary to frequently place, measure, and ensure the results correct."

The three of them were suddenly enlightened after hearing this.Especially Claude, he scratched his head honestly, and said: "Hey, I also know that I should wear gloves, but after wearing gloves, my flexibility will be reduced a lot. Many details cannot be operated."

Qi Yue nodded: "Everyone has this problem, but as long as you practice more, you will get used to it."

Angel also patted the dark-skinned companion, and said, "Did you hear that? Learn from it!"

For a moment, all four of them smiled.

At this time, McDull said: "The vacuum engraving instrument has been sent, but you have to go to the distribution center of the college to pick it up." After hearing this, Qi Yue said goodbye to the three of them immediately, and headed towards the direction indicated by McDull.

When she left, Angel slapped his head: "Hey! She didn't answer me in the end!"

Lulu took his arm again, leaned on him, and smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, there is still time before school starts." After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands again and said, "Now, let's start the regular practice Bar!"

When Angel and Claude heard this, they wailed in their hearts.

In view of the relatively large size and heavy weight of the vacuum engraving instrument, after Qi Yue signed and received it, the distribution center sent a car to deliver it to her dormitory, and Qi Yue also took a ride.

After the delivery person put the things down, he asked her with concern if she could handle it by herself or if she wanted to help.The man probably thought that she was young and thin, and he was afraid that she would not be able to handle it.

Qi Yue shook her head and refused.After politely thanking the delivery personnel, Qi Yue began to unpack the package, impatient to see if this instrument, which he had dreamed for a long time, was really as beautiful and lovely as he had seen on the Internet and holographic videos.

Well, maybe that's not the right word.No matter how to beautify the vacuum engraver, it is a cold machine.Although Mo Mitsubishi is very outstanding in technology, it is always unwilling to work hard on industrial design and beautification. This Gamma-0093 is famous in the circle as "I am ugly but I am gentle".

Qi Yuehun didn't care about these things, he just carefully unpacked the instrument, buckled off the rollers on the part touching the ground, and then carefully stood it up.The instrument is very heavy, and it is not easy for Qi Yue to do this.But fortunately, although she looks thin and small, she has strong resilience and is used to heavy work, so although she is tired, it is not impossible for her to do it.

"McDull, check it out." Qi Yue said as he switched on the instrument and turned on the preheater.

"Connect to the network." McDull said quickly: "Start the self-check procedure."

About 3 minutes later, with Qi Yue's consent, McDull started to run the vacuuming program and used simulated conditions for carving.After everything was done, it said: "This instrument is in very good condition, less wear and tear, smooth circuit, almost no blockage and wear..."

Qi Yue said: "So, I took advantage of it?"

"That's true." McDull said, "Although I don't understand what the other party intends to do, the fact proves that there is nothing wrong with this instrument."

"Let's check the chip. Run it in isolation, and try to activate it repeatedly." Qi Yue thought for a while, "If there is still no problem, I will send him the money."

The semester setting of Sokosses Mecha Academy should not only be unified according to the standard calendar of the Small Magellanic Cloud, but also take into account the local time.

Qi Yue started to participate in the freshman enrollment activities two days later. In fact, the reporting, filling in forms, receiving certificates, etc. could be done in one day.However, the whole activity includes many parts. There are various reports, teaching freshmen how to use the library, how to obtain medical insurance, how to register for courses and pay tuition fees, etc.

Several main event buildings in the lower house gradually became lively, especially the main hall, which was full of people on the first day of school, like a huge gymnasium.The Dean of the House of Commons stood in the center and spoke to everyone, welcoming everyone. The atmosphere of the venue was jubilant.

Qi Yue is not disgusted by the excitement, but sometimes it makes her feel uncomfortable when there are too many people.After participating in the necessary activities, she immediately ran back to the dormitory. Fortunately, she didn't meet many people along the way.

"Qi Yue, you should make more friends." McDull said.

Qi Yue pouted, but said nothing.And McDull didn't continue this topic, and instead said: "[Twisted Armor] sent you a message."

"?" Qi Yue was surprised, "Is there any problem with money?"

"No, he left a number." McDull said, "It seems to be a communication number."

"Oh." Qi Yue was not interested in this.The transaction between her and the other party has been completed. Although she is grateful to the other party, she really has no intention of making a deep friendship with the other party.

At this time, the doorbell of her dormitory rang.
