Chapter 65

The specialized breakthrough proceeded methodically for half a month.

The "Insect Workshop" was filled with the humming of various new equipment in operation.

The cutting sounds of parts processing and the noise of technical discussions.

Feng Yan looked at the team members, each with sunken eye sockets and messy hair (especially Wang Hao).

Yet their eyes shone as they dove into their own "one acre and three cents of land," his heart feeling both gratified and a little creeped out.

'Good grief, if this continues, are these people going to spend their whole lives with machine tools and code?'

'Need to take them out for some air and change their brains.'

Feng Yan pondered that team morale needed maintenance, and work-life balance was the long-term plan.

So, on a beautiful weekend morning.

Feng Yan forcibly confiscated everyone's tools and data pads, announcing:

"Work stopped today! Group activity! Target—the city amusement park!"

Once this order was issued, the reactions were varied.

Wang Hao was the first to jump up and cheer:

"Awoo! Brother Feng is wise! Should have gone long ago! I want to ride the roller coaster ten times!"

Chen Guang pushed up his glasses, looking at the laser energy coupling efficiency formula he was halfway through calculating, a bit hesitant:

"Brother Feng, my simulation hasn't finished running..."

Li Yang silently looked at the sketch of the "Chengshan" buffer structure he had just drawn halfway.

He didn't speak, but his eyes said, "I want to work."

Even Zhao Gong lifted his eyelids and said slowly: "That place, noisy."

Feng Yan waved his hand, unquestionable:

"Opposition invalid! All of you go! This is an order! Look at the outside world, breathe some human air!"

In the end, the group was still stuffed into a car and taken to the bustling amusement park.

However, Feng Yan soon discovered that his so-called "brain-changing" plan.

Had completely gone off track from the very first project.

Standing at the foot of the giant roller coaster, listening to the bursts of screams from overhead.

Wang Hao was excitedly rubbing his hands.

Li Yang, however, was looking up, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze tightly tracking the speeding carriages.

He whispered to Chen Guang beside him:

"Old Chen, look at the track connection of that C-shaped loop; there's obvious stress concentration, and the welding process is average."

"And when the carriage is diving at high speed, the lateral swing amplitude of the suspension system exceeds the optimal value of the safety redundancy design."

"Although it's still within the safety range, it will affect the riding comfort..."

Chen Guang heard this and immediately took out his phone (the only electronic device allowed to be carried).

He pulled up vibration measurement software, aimed it at the roller coaster, and analyzed calmly:

"Based on the visual speed and track curvature, the calculated peak centrifugal acceleration is about 4.2 Gs, which is quite a load on the cervical spine of ordinary tourists."

"If active dampers could be added at key nodes and the track smoothness optimized, both the experience and safety could be improved."

Feng Yan was sweating on the side, his inner monologue:

'I let you guys come to play! Not to do equipment safety assessments!'

When it was time to play bumper cars, the scene was even more out of control.

Everyone else was laughing and crashing around, but Li Yang was gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Every time he was hit or hit someone else, his body would subconsciously tense up, muttering to himself:

"Frontal collision, energy transmitted through the chassis..."

"Lateral impact, steering mechanism bears shear force..."

"If it were an exoskeleton, it would need an additional lateral buffer joint here to absorb the impact and protect the user's lumbar spine..."

Just after being maliciously "rear-ended" by Wang Hao again, Li Yang suddenly froze.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and as soon as he got off, he ran over and grabbed Feng Yan's arm:

"Brother Feng! I know! The exoskeleton for 'Chengshan' must take passive safety and intelligent buffering as the core!"

"That hit just now gave me inspiration!"

"We can design an adaptive buffer system based on multi-dimensional sensors and memory alloy."

"Instantly change structural stiffness when encountering sudden impacts, dispersing the impact force!"

"Let's call it... the 'Chengshan-Stable' module!"

Feng Yan was grabbed painfully, but looking at Li Yang's eyes, which were shining because of the burst of inspiration.

He was torn between laughter and tears: "... Old Li, as long as you're happy."

On the other side, Chen Guang stood under the drop tower, not playing at all.

Instead, he was looking up, watching the machine lift passengers to the top and then suddenly release them.

He held his phone, constantly calculating something.

Wang Hao finished a round and leaned over to ask: "Guangzi, what are you calculating? Calculating if this thing is exciting?"

Chen Guang didn't even look up:

"I'm calculating the potential-to-kinetic energy conversion efficiency during each lift and drop process."

"And the energy consumed by the braking system."

"If an efficient energy recovery device could be added to the braking link."

"Theoretically, it could meet part of the park's lighting electricity needs."

"The efficiency is about 17%, there's room for optimization."

Wang Hao: "... As if I didn't ask."

He turned his head and saw the carousel, his eyes rolled, rubbing his chin:

"This thing turns too slowly, boring."

"If a small vector thruster were added under each wooden horse."

"Could we realize 'Rotating Flying Wooden Horses'?"

"That would be exciting!"

Feng Yan couldn't take it anymore, grabbing Wang Hao, who was still fantasizing about "thruster wooden horses," and Chen Guang, who was staring at the drop tower thinking about "energy recovery."

And dragging over Li Yang, who was immersed in the "buffer module" design, gritting his teeth:

"All of you go shoot guns! Throw darts!"

"Or go to the haunted house! Find some entertainment activities that normal people should do!"

Finally, Feng Yan made the decision and chose the haunted house.

Thinking, this should at least make these guys temporarily forget those damn formulas and blueprints, right?

As a result... even more outrageous.

The haunted house was filled with eerie winds, flashing lights and shadows, and terrifyingly dressed staff jumping out to scare people from time to time.

Ordinary tourists were screaming in terror.

Wang Hao was quite engaged; every time a "ghost" jumped out.

He would cooperatively let out a weird scream, then comment in a low voice:

"The trigger delay for this mechanism is a bit high; the sound effects and lighting aren't synchronized well."

Chen Guang, in the darkness, relying on his excellent dynamic vision and logical analysis, calmly pointed out:

"The opening trajectory of the third coffin lid on the left is unnatural; there's obvious motor transmission noise."

"The 'ghost' that floated by in front on the right has the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground under its feet; it should be track movement."

Li Yang was expressionless the whole time, and even when a "zombie" pounced over.

He subconsciously turned sideways, raised his hand, and performed a standard blocking and force-deflecting move.

Then, toward the staff member who was playing the zombie and was stunned by his subconscious reaction.

He nodded slightly apologetically: "Sorry, reflex."

The "zombie" looked at Li Yang's eyes, which remained calm and even carried a bit of research interest under the eerie green light.

Felt a bit creeped out themselves, and silently shrank back.

After one trip through the haunted house, the haunted house staff were exhausted.

Feeling that their professionalism had been challenged like never before.

And these few, not only were they not scared.

But at the exit, they were enthusiastically discussing the mechanism design principles of the haunted house, sensor applications, and how to optimize the scaring process...

Feng Yan looked at this group of oddballs who could hold a technical seminar even in a haunted house.

Completely gave up on treatment, looking up to the sky and sighing:

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought you guys out..."

"Your entertainment is just researching other people's ways of entertainment, right?"

Wang Hao gave a hehe laugh, putting his arm around Feng Yan's shoulder:

"Brother Feng, don't be discouraged! Look, didn't Brother Li have a major breakthrough?"

"'Chengshan-Stable' module! This wave isn't a loss!"

Li Yang nodded seriously, his eyes still immersed in the inspiration from just now.

Chen Guang pushed up his glasses and summarized:

"From an engineering perspective, this team-building."

"Obtained first-hand data on various mechanical structures and human dynamics, which has high reference value."

Zhao Gong had also wandered over at some point, listening to their discussion.

The corners of his mouth seemed to twitch, spitting out three words: "No ambition."

Feng Yan looked at the partners in front of him who, even in the amusement park, still exuded a strong "solder smell" and "code sense."

Shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

Perhaps, this was their way of relaxing.

To make this group of guys with gears and circuit diagrams carved into their souls completely detach from their profession.

Might be harder than making them overcome technical difficulties.

The sun set, stretching the silhouettes of the amusement park long.

Feng Yan took this team with "terminal occupational disease" and set off on the return journey.

Although the process was outrageous, looking at Li Yang, who was rarely excitedly sketching out a new plan.

Feng Yan felt that this "team-building" trip, it seemed... wasn't a complete failure?
