Chapter 50

~10 min read 1,978 words

Wang Hao's words "Please welcome Guangzi!" had just fallen.

Chen Guang's figure appeared at the edge of the camera.

He was still in a neat research suit.

The signature glasses were on the bridge of his nose, and he was holding a small part with a complex structure in his hand.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Guang." He nodded slightly at the camera.

His tone was calm and waveless, forming a sharp contrast with Wang Hao's excitement.

【Guang God! Living top student!】

【This calm aura, love it love it!】

【What is Guang God holding? Looks so complex!】

"What is being shown now is the civilian-grade high-precision laser scanning module added to the back of 'Xiao Bai'."

Chen Guang placed the part on a specially made rotating display stand.

Then sent an instruction to "Xiao Bai" through the tablet computer.

"Xiao Bai" stepped forward, and the scanning module on its back emitted a low-power laser beam that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Sweeping rapidly across the surface of the part.

At the same time, the large screen on the side synchronized in real-time to display the 3D point cloud data of the part.

And built a fine 3D model at high speed.

"The module adopts the principle of line laser scanning, combined with 'Xiao Bai's' own precise positioning and motion compensation."

"Can perform rapid 3D modeling of objects in complex environments."

Chen Guang explained while operating, using his unique, clear, and calm tone.

"Scanning precision can reach 0.1 millimeters, single frame scanning time is less than 2 seconds."

"Mainly applied in fields such as reverse engineering of industrial parts, damage assessment, and digital archiving of cultural relics."

With his explanation, the 3D model on the screen was constantly filled and optimized.

Finally forming a digital twin that was indistinguishable from the real object.

Even the subtle scratches and machining textures on the surface of the part were clearly visible.

【Holy crap! This speed! This precision!】

【Kneeling to the big guy, this technology is too useful for repairing cultural relics or doing design!】

【So Xiao Bai is not just a delivery dog, it's a scanner that gained sentience!】

【Understood, want to copy something in the future, just let Xiao Bai take a look? (Doge)】

Wang Hao inserted the topic at the right time, trying to interpret it in more popular language:

"See that, brothers? This is equivalent to installing a 'perspective eye' on 'Xiao Bai'!"

"No matter how complex the thing is, it scans a circle, the dimensions and shapes inside and out are all restored in the computer!"

"Don't know how much faster it is than us taking calipers and measuring bit by bit!"

Chen Guang added: "To be precise, it is obtaining the 3D geometric information of the object's surface."

"For internal structures, other detection means are needed."

【Hahaha, Guang God is rigorous!】

【Wang Hao: I'm bragging. Guangzi: No, you're not rigorous.】

【Top student-style dismantling, the most fatal!】

At this time, Feng Yan also strolled into the camera range, holding a thermos cup in his hand.

A relaxed smile on his face: "Yo, you guys have brought out our bottom-of-the-box little gadgets?"

"Haozi, your live stream rhythm is pretty good."

【Feng Yan God is here!】

【Project Coordinator! (Funny)】

【Brother Feng, tell us, what else can this technology do?】

Feng Yan looked at the bullet screen and smiled: "What else can it do? There are many uses."

"For example, we who do mechanical design, an old part is broken, and there's no drawing."

"Scan it with this thing, the model is there, and you can directly machine a new one."

"For another example, comrades in archaeology discover a precious pottery jar."

"Afraid of damage during movement, scan a model, and you can study it however you want when you go back."

"Simply put, it's building a bridge between the real world and the digital world."

He changed the subject, cleverly leading the topic to a deeper level:

"Actually, this is just a small exploration our team has made in 'perception' and 'digitalization'."

"Everyone think about it, if this technology can be miniaturized and clustered, letting countless tiny 'scouts' sneak into complex environments."

"For example, ruins, pipes, etc., scanning, modeling, and transmitting the situation inside in real-time..."

He deliberately paused, leaving infinite room for imagination.

【Holy crap! Brother Feng's words have hidden meanings!】

【Miniaturization? Clustering? Scouts? Understood, Insect Legion! (Doge save life)】

【Finished, I have pictures in my brain!】

【Feng Yan: I didn't say anything, you guys guessed it.】

Wang Hao immediately followed: "Brother Feng is right! The future is infinitely possible!"

"But you have to eat rice one bite at a time, and walk the road one step at a time!"

"Let's let 'Xiao Bai' do the work in front of us first!"

He successfully pulled the topic back, avoiding over-interpretation.

Chen Guang's demonstration ended amidst a piece of "Awesome" and "Learned" on the bullet screen.

Feng Yan also retired successfully, disappearing outside the camera again, hiding his merit and fame.

The live stream continued, Wang Hao leading the rhythm.

Let "Xiao Bai" show several preset instructions again.

Such as standing by in place, dynamic following (moving with Wang Hao), and a simple "high-five" interaction.

Attracting bullet screens to tease "Xiao Bai has gained sentience", "Want the same electronic pet".

Just when the live stream was entering a good state and the number of viewers was continuing to climb, a slightly different bullet screen slid by:

【Old fan asking weakly: Wolf Guy, what about the Tie Lang exoskeleton? Want to see! (Eagerly)】

This bullet screen immediately caused a small-scale resonance.

【Right! What about Wolf Guy's mecha?!】

【Almost forgot the original intention! We are here to see Iron Wolf!】

【Begging Wolf Guy to show his face! Even if it's just a background board!】

Wang Hao saw these bullet screens, his heart thumped, thinking about how to prevaricate.

Then he heard a calm voice coming from outside the camera.

Carrying a trace of imperceptible current noise (clearly transmitted through a communicator):

"Iterating. Next time."

It was Li Yang's voice! Concise, as always in power-saving mode.

【!!! It's Wolf Guy!】

【Ah ah ah, lived long enough to see this! Wolf Guy spoke!】

【Iterating! Next time! So much information!】

【Although there are only four words, I have already imagined a cooler Iron Wolf!】

Wang Hao immediately reacted, taking advantage of the situation:

"Did you hear that? Wolf Guy spoke! Good things need time to polish!"

"Everyone wait patiently, next time, next time we will definitely let you see a more awesome 'Iron Wolf'!"

He successfully led the fans' expectations to the future, both soothing emotions and leaving suspense.

After this small episode, the live stream entered the final segment—Zhao Gong's "mysterious" appearance.

Wang Hao aimed the camera at Zhao Gong's workbench.

The old man still didn't show his face, and only his pair of calloused yet unusually steady hands appeared in the picture.

And a few seemingly ordinary tools and a piece of unmachined metal blank on the workbench.

"Next, is our special segment today!" Wang Hao lowered his voice.

As if introducing some incredible secret, "Please welcome our team's technical consultant, Zhao Gong!"

"Showing everyone what is called 'Old Craftsmanship, New Charm'!"

Zhao Gong didn't ignore Wang Hao's clamor, he picked up the metal blank.

Fixed it on the bench vise, then picked up a seemingly ordinary flat file.

No drawings, no measurements, he was fully focused, his wrists steady as he pushed the file.

"Sand... sand... sand..."

The rhythmic friction sound came through the microphone again.

Metal shavings fell like snowflakes.

His movements were not fast, but every push carried a kind of indescribable precision and rhythm.

Those hands seemed to have their own ruler, without needing any electronic equipment.

Relying only on his eyes and hand feel, he was shaping the form on the hard metal.

【This hand... too steady!】

【I don't even sharpen pencils this steadily!】

【What is the old man doing? Can't understand but greatly shocked!】

【This technique, can't be practiced without decades of skill!】

Wang Hao acted as a clumsy commentator on the side:

"Brothers, watch carefully, Zhao Gong is now finding the reference plane."

"Just like building a house, you have to lay the foundation first, all subsequent precision is built on this initial reference plane."

"Finding the reference manually, what is tested is experience and hand feel..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gong swept a faint look over.

Wang Hao immediately closed his mouth sensibly, making a gesture of zipping his mouth.

【Hahaha, Haozi was warned by a look!】

【Old man: Watch quietly, don't be noisy.】

【Wang Hao: Aggrieved, but dare not speak.】

The live stream room instantly quieted down, leaving only the sand-sand sound of the file rubbing against the metal.

And the slight collision sound when Zhao Gong changed tools occasionally.

This focused atmosphere, instead, highlighted the huge energy contained under those clever hands.

After rough machining was completed, Zhao Gong switched to a finer file and scraper, beginning precision repair.

From time to time, he used a knife-edge square to check the flatness, observing the light-transmitting gap as thin as a hair against the light;

Or used a standard flat plate for grinding points, judging where continued repair was needed based on the distribution of contact spots shown.

His movements slowed down, more gentle, more focused.

Every scrape only took away a tiny amount of metal, as if not machining, but performing a fine carving.

【This precision... feels steadier than a machine!】

【I'm holding my breath, afraid of disturbing the old man!】

【This is no longer technology, this is art!】

Just at this moment, Li Yang walked over holding a micro-servo mounting bracket for the "Mechanical Butterfly".

His brows furrowed slightly, seemingly encountering some trouble.

He silently placed the bracket in the corner of Zhao Gong's workbench, without speaking.

Zhao Gong caught a glimpse, his hands didn't stop, just asked blandly: "Can't install?"

Li Yang nodded: "Interference, off by about 0.02 millimeters. Forcing it in will cause deformation."

Zhao Gong "Hmm"ed, continuing to work on the task in his hand.

Until he had machined all the main reference planes of that fixture base to his satisfaction.

Used cotton yarn to carefully wipe the oil off his hands, and then picked up Li Yang's bracket to look at it.

He didn't use any measuring tools, just touched the interference area with his fingers a few times.

Looked at it against the light again, then picked up an extremely thin polished steel needle and a small oilstone.

Only to see him in the interference area at a specific point.

Scraped it extremely precisely and slightly a few times.

Then used the oilstone to gently grind it for a moment, the whole process less than a minute.

"Try it." He handed the bracket back to Li Yang.

Li Yang skeptically took it back, found the corresponding servo.

Pressed it lightly—"click", a faint sound that was almost inaudible, perfectly matched, perfectly installed!

Li Yang's eyes instantly burst with bright brilliance, looking at Zhao Gong with eyes full of admiration.

He nodded heavily: "Done! Thanks Zhao Gong!"

【Holy crap! That's it?!】

【I didn't even see what the old man did!】

【Manual repair?! This experience is too terrifying!】

【Wolf Guy is convinced! Awesome!】

This scene, clearly transmitted through the lens, the bullet screen boiled again.

This proved the "hand feel" and value of Zhao Gong's god-like skills more powerfully than any language.

Wang Hao was itching to explain again, but was stopped by Feng Yan with a look.

Feng Yan himself walked to the front of the camera, smiling and saying:

"Everyone saw it, this is the charm of traditional experience."

"Some things, data models may not be able to fully simulate."

"But the master's hands and eyes can find the most critical point."

At this time, Chen Guang also walked over, holding a high-speed camera.
