Ding!
Accompanied by this crisp sound, a fist-sized energy device was mounted onto the iron battle suit.
"Suddenly thought, isn’t it supposed to wear the iron battle suit first, and then install the energy device?"
Upon seeing that his sister had already installed the energy device on the iron battle suit, Ding Yue couldn’t help but raise such a curious question.
"Principal Ding, the sequence doesn’t affect much; it’s also feasible to install the energy device before donning the iron battle suit," explained Tong Yihang, who stood by, with a smile.
"Oh oh, that’s good, that’s good."
After hearing this, Ding Yue nodded slightly and then looked towards Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and the others, saying, "Then let’s begin."
Since this iron battle suit was not of the fully automated type, Tong Yihang and the other chanical experts needed to personally instruct Ding Yue on how to wear it.
Ding Yue still preferred the fully automated type of suiting up portrayed in the movie "Iron Man," but to achieve that level of technology, further technological advancent was necessary.
Currently, it’s manual suiting-up, but to be more precise, it should be considered semi-automated.
"Principal Ding, please stand here."
Seeing that Principal Ding was ready, Tong Yihang then instructed him to prepare to don the iron battle suit.
"Yue, are you saying we wear it ourselves for the flight test?"
Upon seeing this, Xu Bin asked in astonishnt.
"No, not at all."
Ding Yue shook his head and said jokingly, "I’d like to keep my little life for a few more decades, you know. Right now, we’re just doing a suiting-up test."
"Yes, Director Xu, we’re only doing a suiting-up test for now. When it cos to the flight test, we’ll definitely start with the unmanned mode," Tong Yihang quickly explained to Director Xu Bin.
"I thought so! Since when did you beco so bold, Yue."
Xu Bin stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
"Well, you’re implying that I’m timid now?"
Ding Yue gave Xu Bin a roll of his eyes and responded.
"Hahaha, Yue, you’re overthinking," Xu Bin chuckled: "Let see, just how dashing you’ll look after suiting up in this iron battle suit!"
"Co on."
Ding Yue nodded and then took a step forward, walking up to a sizable tal case.
Following the guidance from Tong Yihang, Ding Yue stepped into a footprint-like spot inside the tal case.
Clearly, standing there would enable a smooth process of suiting up in the iron battle suit.
Although the process seed sowhat clumsy, there was no helping it since this was only the first generation iron battle suit. Ding Yue also desired a nanotech-level suit like the ones Iron Man had later on in the movies, but alas, the current state of "black technology" simply wasn’t there yet.
Click!
With Principal Ding positioned inside the tal case, Tong Yihang pressed a button on the case, and following that, the components of the iron battle suit inside the case began their partially automated assembly.
Clack clack clack!
As Ding Yue heard these chanical, tallic sounds, his excitent was palpable.
This was what n loved!
Clack clack clack! Clang clang clang!
First, the iron battle suit components at his feet began to close up, followed by Tong Yihang’s manual intervention; the chest piece of the suit also slowly rose from the tal case, and then gently moved in front of Principal Ding.
Tong Yihang approached Principal Ding, gave the iron battle suit a push, achieving a snug fit.
"Principal Ding, if you give us so more ti, we could make it fully automated. But for that, we’ll need Director Xu’s help," explained Tong Yihang while assisting Principal Ding with the manual, semi-automated suiting-up, sharing the idea of future automated suiting and smart assisting.
"Mhm, mhm."
Hearing this, Ding Yue nodded his head and said with a smile, "Indeed, automated suiting would be better. However, it’s already quite an achievent for you to reach this stage in your spare ti from the lithography machine project."
At this mont, the expectations couldn’t be too high. After all, Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei had been hard at work on the lithography machine project up to this point. It was already impressive that they could spare the energy to develop an iron battle suit for him.
Once they had more ti and energy, they could consider using an automated iron battle suit.
In fact.
Ding Yue considered that to achieve automatic suiting of each iron battle suit component, one option would be to use robotic arms to assist in donning the suit.
But Ding Yue had an even better idea, echoing the scenes in the movie "The Avengers," where Iron Man jumps from the Stark Industries Building and the components of the iron battle suit fly to him for automatic assembly – this was a concept that had a decent chance of being realized.
Ding Yue thought about equipping each component of the iron battle suit with a chip and, with the help of his smart AI Big White’s program, he could achieve automated suiting.
"What can I help with?"
Stepping forward, Xu Bin asked with curiosity.
