Monster Factory: One thousand one hundred and eighty-four: The problem keeps going
If you want large-scale mechanized mining of diamonds, you must come up with a matching mechanized mining plan.
This is a long R&D process that needs to start from scratch, a little bit in mining practice, and slowly explore improvements.
For example, in a brown coal mine in Hamburg, Germany, in order to increase production capacity to the limit, engineers specially designed and manufactured the world's largest single construction machine device — —293 scoop wheel excavator.
When this kind of excavating machinery is activated, it can dig out nearly 150,000 tons of coal every day.
Engineers have pushed mechanized mining to the limit.
But from designing to manufacturing this steel Monster, engineers spent a total of five years.
It takes five years to manufacture a steel Monster. This is still in the case that engineers have a large number of similar mining devices to learn from, and this device only needs to rotate the winch for mining.
How long will it take to design a diamond mining equipment that has no design ideas to learn from?
Soon.
Because of the intervention of [Virtual Factory5.0].
Monster Factory’s last upgrade gave Dragon Creek Beach Factory a virtual Factory5.0system. This set of system is equivalent to giving a group of cold machines a soul to think about themselves. In the virtual world, through tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of different combinations, to find the best process combination method for all machines in Factory.
The fatal tolerance gradually generated during the operation of the machine, system is automatically calibrated.
In the process of processing, every detail is checked by system to minimize the influence of human operation.
For a very simple example, when a machine tools leaves the factory, the manufacturer will often label it precision, the theoretical limit of processing. But in actual use, this limit precision is impossible to be processing. Because in machine tools work, there are too many factors that will affect precision, even small changes in workshop temperature will affect it.
But in the virtual Factory system, these effects are all eliminated.
Any changes cannot escape system's sensing and measurement, and these changes will be automatically adjusted and compensated by system.
Since ~
Virtual Factory system can automatically reorganize the machines in Factory to find the optimal solution.
Under the condition that the geological conditions and landform drop coordinates of the three drilling mines are known, the virtual Factory can of course be found in the virtual world through rigorous simulation experiments to find the most scientific mining plan.
……
With the virtual Factory online.
In front of Ye Qing's eyes, rows of graphic bars similar to the game menu appeared.
On these graphic bars, there are not skills, but machine tools, smelting device with different shapes, and construction machinery. In addition to these, there are all industrial products in Dragon Creek Beach Factory and all auxiliary processing robots.
A Colossus Type X was dragged by Ye Qing from the graphics bar. As soon as the icon fell on one of the three drill mines, the icon immediately expanded and became a real Colossus Type X with the same size as the drill mine.
Colossus Type X is under Ye Qing's feet, only the size of a cigarette case. It stopped at the side of the drill mine, it seemed so insignificant.
But if you really drive a Colossus Type X there, no matter the height it is on the side of the drill, or the floor area, it will be no different from the reduced model in front of you.
Ye Qing pulled both hands, the surrounding terrain and Colossus Type X quickly zoomed in, becoming as high as Ye Qing.
This makes it easy to observe. Then a mining truck and mining truck were dragged out by Ye Qing and placed behind Colossus Type X in the order of front and back.
The materials for these two engineering vehicles were taken from the Metal Dysprosium mine on the Factory side of Nigaya, with the last counterattack iron ore crushing tower as the finishing touch.
Ye Qing set the crushing diameter of the counterattack iron ore crushing tower to 60 mm.
This crushing tower has a two-cavity structure. It can easily crush ore fragments with a hardness of not more than 8 on the Mohs' hardness into blocks of uniform fist size.
The discharging conveyor belt is divided into crushed material and powdered material. The crushed uniform stones are screened out and left from the crushed material. Those powder and soil are left from the powdered material.
Large-scale mechanized operations, of course, it is impossible to learn from the indigenous people, and only pick up soft soil and gravel to hand-made to screen diamonds. In Ye Qing's plan, any objects in the three drill mines must be screened again.
The rock belts buried in the ground and the mountain on the border are the best candidates for screening.
Colossus Type X mines soil and rocks. Loaders and trucks are responsible for transporting the minerals to the inlet of the crushing tower.
The crushing tower is then responsible for crushing them into uniform stones.
This process does not require any effort to design. There are several mines under Monster Industrial, and any device can be used on site if you move it from that mine.
Fluorite has a Mohs hardness of four.
The hardness of feldspar is six.
Quartz, granite, and basalt have a hardness of seven.
The hardness of topaz is eight.
The hardness of various minerals in nature is usually between four and seven. The crushing tower can crush ores with a hardness of no more than eight, and the hardness of diamonds is the highest, reaching ten.
Therefore, the crushing tower cannot destroy the diamonds. As long as diamonds are contained in the scraps processed by it, they will remain intact in the scraps.
The last step is to screen out the diamonds from these scraps.
Ye Qing's idea is to start with hardness.
Since diamond is the hardest object in the world, can we design an device that can processing all rock fragments with a hardness of nine, or less, into particles with a diameter of no more than two millimeters?
If it can, the diamond with a hardness of ten can be completely separated from these fragments.
Just design a device screen with a screening diameter of no more than two millimeters. After the granular fragments are screened and separated, the remaining 100% is diamonds.
At this time, Electric Crystal took out a model from his pocket.
This is that it hurriedly designed a diamond separation device according to Ye Qing's idea.
The model was dropped on the ground, and it suddenly turned into a rectangular machine device nearly three meters high. Refer to the Colossus Type X next to it, and its true height should be around 20 meters.
"Boss, according to your idea, this separator adopts the principle of hammer mill, which can hammer fist-sized ore into granules through a hammer table driven by hydraulic power."
"The hydraulic driving force has been adjusted to just enough to crush the topaz."
"Will it be too simple..." Ye Qing looked at the rectangular machine device, and kept muttering in his heart, "In principle, our thinking is correct, and the hammer is not strong enough to break the diamond. But. I don’t think it makes sense for other engineers to think of such a simple solution."
"It should be no problem. It may be that the group of engineers can design a plan, but can't come up with the corresponding material solution." Electric Crystal bit his finger, and pointed to the reduced drill tunnel on the ground: "Three In the diamond mine, I have added diamonds with a one in 100,000 chance of random distribution."
"These diamonds are directly copied from the Factory diamond inventory. Now they are hidden in the ore. Let's try it."
Ye Qing stopped struggling, "Try it first."
Ye Qing choice started the simulation.
Just after choice, the Colossus Type X on the side of the mine suddenly started up. After a short warm-up period, it bumped into the mountain not far away without hesitation.
Tons of rock fragments were easily crushed from the mountain by it.
These rocks were loaded into a mining truck by a loader, and finally tilted into a counterattack iron ore crushing tower.
The broken tower roars!
After continuing to zoom in on the details, the crushing material port and powder material port continuously spout tons of crushed material.
These scraps are dotted with red luminous particles.
That is diamonds, Electric Crystal specially added self-luminous properties to these diamonds, which is easy to identify.
When the scraps entered the diamond separation device, both Ye Qing and Electric Crystal could not help but squeeze their fists.
Boom ~
The diamond separated the hammer table in device and hit the debris with one hammer.
In the first smashing operation, Ye Qing and Electric Crystal only heard the noise, and couldn't see what happened inside. When waiting for the second operation, Ye Qing quickly transparentized the shell of the diamond separation device and enlarged it on the hammer table.
Now Ye Qing's eyes are covered with fist-sized rock fragments. In this pile of fragments, Ye Qing can clearly see three luminous bodies.
The hammer fell for the third time.
Then...
Three luminous bodies have become dozens...
Because after the hammer fell, it not only crushed the rocks, but also crushed three peanut-sized diamonds.
"What's the situation?" Ye Qing was caught off guard by this result, "Didn't I tell you before, should I use softer metal as the hammer material?"
Electric Crystal looked innocent, "I did it."
The truth of easily breakable is when things go through steel~IndoMTL.com~ Ye Qing and Electric Crystal both understand.
Diamond is the strongest object in the world. No metal can leave scratches on its surface, but this is not representative, it will not break.
As a simple example, the Mohs hardness of general steel is about 5.5.
What if you take this steel hammer and hit a piece of granite with a hardness of seven?
Of course, it will blow the granite with a hammer, because the ductility of granite is far lower than that of a hammer.
If this hammer hits diamonds, diamonds with extremely high hardness but extremely poor ductility will also crack.
That's why Ye Qing asked Electric Crystal to use the softer metal as the hammer, but he has already taken measures to deal with it. Why does the diamond break?
Fortunately, this is a simulation experiment, Ye Qing can make adjustments in time, "Continue to increase the softness of the hammer table by 10%, and repeat the action just now."
This time, one diamond was broken.
The softness is automatically increased, and the experiment continues.
Each time a ton of scraps, the hammer worked eleven times, and nine diamonds of different sizes were separated.
The diamonds are all intact, but Ye Qing and Electric Crystal did not show the smile they should have on their faces.
A new problem has arisen.
Although the softness of the hammer table is perfectly balanced with the diamond, the hammer table performs work downwards, and the hammer table that automatically stops when it touches the diamond also loses its continued work on the rock that remains at the same level as the diamond.
In other words, how big the diamond is, and how big the broken rock particles are.
And in many work, the surface of the hammer table made of soft metal, there have been dents of one layer pushed out by rocks and diamonds.
Electric Crystal held back for a long time, then came out, "His grandma's..."
