Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 608 Powered Exoskeleton! (First Update!)

This time, Guo Song decided not to wait any longer.

He deftly shoved the phone into his pocket, stood up, a cold smile on his face, and walked out of his residence toward the administration building of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Communications Company.

I went upstairs.

Finally, he stopped outside Lin Yi's lounge, clasped his hands together, loosened his wrists, and then began to bang on the door.

"Get up! You're so young, yet you sleep all the time!"

"Get up right now!"

The knocking startled the people in the finance office. A young woman slowly peeked out, looked at Guo Song curiously for a moment, and, recognizing him as someone she had seen before, cautiously reminded him:
"Sir, if you're looking for Mr. Lin, he went out this morning and we don't know when he'll be back."

"If you're looking for General Manager Ji, she's in the finance office right now."

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had gone out, Guo Song pressed his forehead with his hand, hissed, and turned to walk towards the finance office.

I glanced at the entrance of the finance office and saw Ji Shuangshuang inside the transparent office. Noticing my gaze, Ji Shuangshuang looked up and waved gently.

He then stopped what he was doing, walked out of the office, and greeted Guo Song with a smile:
"Grandpa, how did you sleep last night?"

"Pretty good!" Guo Song replied with a smile, pointing to the door of the office opposite with his right hand. "Where's Lin Yi? We agreed on everything last night."

"He said he went to buy materials early this morning and wouldn't be back until the afternoon. He also said that if you come over, please let me receive you!" After explaining Lin Yi's whereabouts, Ji Shuangshuang raised her hand and pointed to the door, indicating the reception room at the end of the corridor:

"Grandpa, let's go wait in the reception room!"

"He won't be back for a while, you can have a couple of cups of tea in the reception room!"

"I have a lot of work to do, so I can't spend time with you right now."

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had gone to buy materials, Guo Song's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for him in the meeting room!"

On the other side, at a supply chain company affiliated with Xiaomi Heavy Industry, Lin Yi slammed a USB drive onto the table and then said softly:
"The USB drive contains what I need urgently. It's 1 p.m. now, and I need to see the finished product before 5 p.m.."

“The price is negotiable!”

After stating his requirements, Lin Yi pressed two fingers of his right hand on the USB drive and gently pushed it forward to the other side.

The person opposite him lingered on the USB drive for a moment, then looked up at Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, this is..."

He had only said a few words when Lin Yi interrupted him:
"You don't need to know what this thing is for. You just need to know that I came to you because I know your technology and that you can make it today. Once it's made and passes the test, you'll definitely make money in the future."

"All you need to do now is answer me: do it or not!"

The words became serious at that moment, making the person on the other end feel a chill.

Those of them who manufacture parts all know that Xiaomi Heavy Industry's procurement has always been handled by a Mr. Liu named Liu Daneng.

But today, the boss of Xiaomi Heavy Industry personally came out.

That means the CEO attaches great importance to this production.

You may seem to have a choice, but in reality you don't.

If we deny the CEO's words now, it means that the company will likely transfer the parts production to someone else.

After all, nobody likes a disobedient person.

Especially since it involves money.

The man leaned forward abruptly, grabbing the USB drive with both hands. "We'll do it now! I'll personally oversee it!"

After leaving those two sentences, the man ignored Lin Yi and Liu Daneng's presence and hurriedly walked out with the USB drive.

Rushing into the cramped technical department office, the man quickly handed the USB drive to his company's technical director, who then plugged it into the computer and turned it on.

The company's main business is the production of small, irregularly shaped connectors.

The connectors shown in the drawings are typical irregularly shaped connectors, with very unique designs.

But the blueprints and manufacturing process are very clear and straightforward. If they follow the production steps in the blueprints, they can indeed produce this thing.

"This afternoon?" The technical director confirmed the time again. After receiving an affirmative answer, the technical director began to break down the blueprints and called the workshop to ask them to free up a few people and production lines. He would personally take charge of the production later.

An hour later, urged by the boss, the technical director took the blueprints and went into the production workshop. He then called several key technical personnel in the workshop to his side, and the group of them, together with the blueprints, began to study on the production line.

"These connecting parts are all similar to universal valves, with a large range of motion. You need to pay attention to the processing requirements."

"Remember, make sure the parts are of good quality, don't use inferior ones. This time, the CEO of Xiaomi Heavy Industry personally delivered the blueprints. If we cause any problems, we'll have trouble making a living in the future."

"Here, hold these blueprints for me..."

Meanwhile, Liu Daneng and Lin Yi set off again, heading towards another factory.

Liu Daneng, driving the car, glanced at Lin Yi, who was looking at blueprints in the passenger seat, and asked cautiously, "Boss, is it really necessary for us to be in such a hurry?"

"It's necessary! Turn left at that small intersection ahead, and prepare to slow down." Lin Yi didn't even look up; after giving directions, he continued looking down at the blueprints.

As the vehicle turned left, he finally looked up and said, "If this is done well, we will have a monopoly on the global market."

"In the future, whether we focus on the high-end market or the mass-market market, we will be able to dominate the global market."

"Even if a single piece of equipment earns 100 yuan, on a global scale, that's tens or hundreds of billions of yuan."

Upon hearing that it was so profitable, Liu Daneng immediately shut up and focused on driving.

Ten minutes later, the two parked their car in front of an inconspicuous factory, took the blueprints, and went inside.

…………

As night fell, a Wuling minivan appeared in a hurry, braked sharply in front of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Communications Company, opened the door, and the person in the back seat rushed towards the gate with a box in both hands.

Upon seeing this, the guards inside the gate quickly grabbed riot forks and shields and rushed out to stop the person outside.

Today's riot shields and riot forks... The person carrying the box quickly lifted it up, opened it, revealing the small parts inside, and then chuckled.
"I'm here to deliver parts!"

Please sign for this package!

The security personnel didn't dare to delay and quickly called the technical department. Soon after, Mao Xiaofei appeared at the gate, exchanged information with them, and then made a call to Lin Yi.

Once he confirmed that it was something Lin Yi wanted, and that it was urgent, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly had someone bring out the handover form for the parts.

While waiting for the report, he checked the parts repeatedly to make sure there were no problems before filling out the parts handover report according to the procedure.

Just as I finished filling out this person's form, another car stopped at the door. The person inside did exactly the same thing as the first person: he opened the door, grabbed his suitcase, and rushed out in a hurry.

Upon seeing that it was Mao Xiaofei, the other party quickly handed the box to Mao Xiaofei: "Engineer Mao, these are the parts that General Manager Lin requested. We just finished producing them and delivered them. Please sign for them."

Looking at yet another unfamiliar part in the box, Mao Xiaofei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and then resignedly picked up the part and carefully inspected it. After checking its appearance and function, he began to fill out the parts handover report according to the procedure.

They kept filling in the forms until late at night.

Because the delivery of parts has been continuous.

After filling out another report and confirming that there was no one outside the door, Mao Xiaofei slowly raised his hands and stretched.

Having just instructed the security personnel to deliver the parts to the workshop, Lin Yi appeared outside the gatehouse and beckoned to Mao Xiaofei:
"Come on, I'll show you something!"

Mao Xiaofei mustered his spirits and followed Lin Yi into the workshop. He was also eager to know what the parts Lin Yi had rushed out all day, sparing no expense to produce, would ultimately look like.

When Mao Xiaofei arrived at the makeshift workshop, he found that only he and Lin Yi were there. Puzzled, he simply asked directly:
"Senior brother, is it just the two of us?"

Lin Yi had already walked to the middle of the pile of parts. Hearing this, he nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's just the two of us! Don't just stand there, come and help me hand over the parts!"

Lin Yi took out the packaged parts one by one and labeled them according to the serial numbers on the drawings.

More than two hours had passed since he finished labeling the parts. He stretched, stood in front of the table, and suddenly stretched out his right hand towards Mao Xiaofei: "Part number 1!"

Mao Xiaofei quickly drove towards part number 1.

Part 1 is a square steel pipe about 20 centimeters long with many holes drilled in it.

Having found the part, Mao Xiaofei quickly handed it to Lin Yi.

Just as it was handed over, another new part appeared: "Part number 5!"

Mao Xiaofei found part number 5 and quickly handed it over.

And so, Lin Yi called out, and Mao Xiaofei found a part. With the cooperation of the two brothers, when the morning sunlight shone through the glass into the workshop, a robot that looked like a humanoid skeleton appeared on the workbench in front of Lin Yi.

A dozen or so lines meandered out from the humanoid skeleton, eventually extending to the side and to the thing that looked like a glove.

"Senior brother, what is this?" Mao Xiaofei stepped forward curiously, pushed it with his hand, and found that it was quite heavy and not so easy to move, so he simply stepped aside to watch Lin Yi operate it.

“Powered exoskeleton!” Lin Yi said, placing a battery produced by Xiaomi Heavy Industry into the spine of the mechanical skeleton.

Install the batteries and turn on the power.

With a soft tick, the powered exoskeleton officially started.

However, there was no operator present, so only the power indicator light on the powered exoskeleton was flashing.

Lin Yi walked to the side and picked up the thing on the table that looked like a glove and was connected by a lot of wires.

After examining it for a moment, he put the glove on his left hand.

I put on the gloves and pressed the switch on them. There was another beep, and the gloves were officially turned on.

The red light flashing on the powered exoskeleton turned green at that moment.

Lin Yi, holding the glove in his left hand, turned around and looked at Mao Xiaofei with a smile: "I'm here to show you something fun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi raised his left arm and began to slowly draw a circle.

As he moved, the humanoid skeleton sitting on the workbench also began to draw circles with its left hand, following Lin Yi's movements.

This scene left Mao Xiaofei speechless.

Such techniques are common in modern society, but those common scenes are mostly found in science fiction movies.

But now, this thing has actually been realized right before his eyes.

Simply outrageous.

After Lin Yi threw a few punches forward, and the humanoid skeleton on the workbench followed suit, Mao Xiaofei couldn't hold back any longer and approached Lin Yi: "Senior brother, can I play with it for a bit?"

"No!" Lin Yi decisively rejected Mao Xiaofei's suggestion. After confirming that his left hand was intact, he removed the connecting wires from the glove and switched it to his right hand.

Following the same testing procedure as his left hand, Lin Yi removed all the wires connected to the glove after the test and replaced them with two small signal transmitters.

One is located in the core area of ​​the powered exoskeleton, specifically on part number 1.

After installing the signal transmitting and receiving devices, Lin Yi turned around and slowly approached the powered exoskeleton. With Mao Xiaofei's help, he successfully put on the powered exoskeleton.

After putting on the powered exoskeleton, he began to slowly adjust the stress levels on different parts of his body.

After the adjustments were completed, the darkness outside the workshop had dissipated, leaving only a large expanse of sunlight.

After putting on the neuromuscular controller, Lin Yi started wandering around the workshop for about 10 minutes before slowly walking out of the workshop.

This workshop is right next to the mobile phone production line and the drone production line.

The workers, who were about to start their shift, were stunned when they saw Lin Yi walk out.

What's this new gadget?

I've never seen it before, and I want to see it, but if I'm late, my salary will be docked.

So a group of people quickly stared at this strange thing, and their boss took a few photos before hurrying back to the workshop.

After walking around the workshop twice, Lin Yi returned to the assembly workshop. Instead of immediately removing his powered exoskeleton, he tried using it to move a large box in front of him.

The box was very heavy, weighing about 100 pounds. It was a bit difficult to lift because it was relatively short.

Lin Yi stepped forward, placed his hands on both sides of the box, and then began to exert force upwards with his arms.

The neuromuscular controllers in both hands receive the signals and transmit them to the powered exoskeleton.

The control chip of the powered exoskeleton issued instructions, allowing Lin Yi's hands to lift the box in coordination with his own.

So when Guo Song heard the news and rushed over, he saw Lin Yi, with the help of a powered exoskeleton, holding a huge box in his arms and smiling very happily.

Guo Song was very happy to have witnessed this scene.

He quickly stepped forward, circled around Lin Yi twice, and then cautiously extended his finger and pressed it against the back of the powered exoskeleton:

"Is this your powered exoskeleton?"

Is it easy to use?

"How did you solve the brain-computer interface problem?"
