At the workbench, Chen Xin was designing his own multi-tool.
Although this idea was inspired by the omni-tool from the ga "Mass Effect," unlike in the ga where a single chip implantation could achieve all functions, Chen Xin couldn’t create such a tool, or rather, didn’t have enough survival points and resources to upgrade it.
So, Chen Xin planned to make a chanical arm integrating all commonly used tools together, which was equivalent to carrying a toolbox on him.
And after equipping it with a micro-computer and scanning analysis instrunts, this chanical arm could analyze the situation by itself and replace suitable tools, eliminating the user’s hassle of changing different types of wrenches and screwdrivers.
People who don’t work in factories may never understand how annoying it is to not have the right wrench or screwdriver when doing on-site construction.
Sotis it might be just because a wrench is missing, the work has to be delayed for hours or even days to borrow or buy one, which often results in significant ti delays, and a day’s downti for factory equipnt can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.
So having such a chanical arm would indeed be a fantastic choice, even if it turns out to be heavy, it’s worth it.
Chen Xin was imagining this chanical arm in his mind while also gathering the items he needed.
There’s no ready-made micro-computer, but Chen Xin found an old phone as a substitute, it’s not useful for anything else now, perfect to use as a replacent.
As for analysis and detection instrunts, Chen Xin put together a cara, a temperature gun, a rangefinder, a speedoter, a tachoter... a whole bunch of things, although it seed a bit much, once integrated, it would be fine.
The tools part was the simplest, just taking out a toolbox can et various needs.
But besides these, Chen Xin also wanted to add a 3D printer on it.
This idea ca from Chen Xin’s father’s suggestion, long-ti on-site construction personnel know that sotis parts need to be processed on-site, like welding a bracket, connecting an elbow, or even temporarily processing a part...
Because on-site construction often encounters all sorts of situations, equipnt that doesn’t fit, mismatched parts, it’s all too common. In Chen Xin’s father’s decades-long career, he can’t even rember how many parts he had to process on-site.
So seeing that Chen Xin wanted to integrate a multi-tool, as a father, he gave his son a bit of elder’s experience.
Chen Xin naturally accepted his father’s suggestion, and considered cutting, welding, sheet tal work, milling, these functions as necessary. But rather than materials processing parts on-site, Chen Xin was more inclined to directly 3D print a suitable part.
However, he currently didn’t have a 3D printer at hand, so this feature had to be delayed, waiting until he finishes the chanical arm and then see if there are any alternative solutions for a secondary upgrade.
And not just the 3D printing wasn’t added, argon arc welding, electric welding, sheet tal, milling and these functions weren’t integrated due to lack of equipnt, could only wait for a secondary upgrade.
But this wasn’t much of an issue for Chen Xin, it was just a matter of spending more survival points during the secondary upgrade.
Besides, even with these shortcomings, he was determined to finish this chanical arm.
After gathering everything, Chen Xin found an angle iron, did so cutting and processing on the workbench, and started piling various tools and instrunts on it.
This looked quite like a green-skinned tech brute contemplating a new big boom, as the sparks flew from tal cutting, it was a complete jumble of haphazardly piled tools, so instrunts were even simply taped on...
The assembled finished product carried a strong wasteland punk style, very green-skinned in nature, rough, heavy, and couldn’t even be described as practical, completely just because "I feel like it’s good this way" and so it was done without any sense of reason or design guidelines.
Of course, what Chen Xin ultimately used wasn’t this green-skinned style object. In fact, the final assembled piece he couldn’t use either because the tools attached were simply too many, it was exhausting to even lift, let alone use.
So an upgrade was necessary.
After a green light flashed, the originally green-skinned style device turned into a chanical arm with a chanical God Sect style. Although still robust and complex, it beca much tidier, with no unnecessary wire ends or tape, the originally exposed angle iron turned into a silver-white support shaft, encased in a tal shell, becoming a chanical arm in the true sense.
The various complicated tools and instrunts that Chen Xin had jamd onto the chanical arm were now well integrated, incorporated into the chanical arm. So replaceable parts and components were neatly stowed and could be easily switched at any ti.
The entire chanical arm looked like a large backpack, with a three-axis rotating chanical arm folded at the back and a display screen next to it that could extend to beside the head for operation and data display.
Of course, the 3D printing, welding, sheet tal, cutting, and milling processes that Chen Xin needed earlier were now integrated into the chanical arm, which could now handle all on-site construction needs. Chen Xin even added a detachable drill on it to mix cent if switched to a mixer.
Although the functionality was comprehensive, the integrated and upgraded chanical arm also beca lighter and more convenient to use, but after trying it, Chen Xin found it still couldn’t be easily used by one person.
At least, Chen Xin himself couldn’t easily lift it without wearing the Power Armor or Exoskeleton.
This left Chen Xin scratching his head, the tool was made, but he couldn’t lift it himself, which was truly ironic. Did it an he had to get fit, train to be a weightlifter first, and then use it?
Or should he integrate it directly into the Power Armor and play the role of a Master of Casting from the chanical God Sect?
Chen Xin scratched his brow, thinking this was actually quite a good idea.
Moreover, he had to admit, he did feel quite like a Master of Casting now.
So he acted on his thoughts, brought over his Power Armor, and had Qin Lan, dressed in her Power Armor, help attach the entire chanical arm to the back of his Power Armor.
Then... with another upgrade, a set of Power Armor with a chanical arm appeared.
