Chapter 146: The first prototype (2/2)
Along the way, Ye Qing felt almost no vibrations coming from the solid metal chair.
No clear vibrations implied that the entire machine had a great suspension system.
Ye Qing slowly thundered out and came to a stop in front of the barren hills. After sticking his arms into the two control sticks, the mechanical came to life just like a Gundam.
Pressing down on the operating button with both hands, the output from the engines nearly doubled as the two arms started to automatically move to keep in sync with Ye Qing’s arms.
Currently secured to the mechanical arms were two drill hammers. Ye Qing took a deep breath, and just like the Hulk, smashed.
*BOOM*
Following in the wake of the movement of the Colossus and the roar from the drill hammers, the buffalo sized coral in front of Ye Qing disintegrated like it for hit by an artillery shell.
A left hook, and the coral’s base exploded again. Pressing down the button for full power, the two drill hammers on the mechanical arms immediately started to chug along like a train going full speed ahead.
The machine frame also began to visibly shake, however this much shaking was completely unable to affect the operations of the machine.
Turning the drill hammers to face the ground, the earth was literally sent flying everywhere in an instant.
*Tut-tut ~ Tut-tut*
Just like driving a pillar in to the ground, a big pit appeared in the ground.
Ye Qing, whose arms were already swore, choose to switch his tools from the drill hammers into the demolition shears.
The mechanical arms automatically rotated to the back, and with some clangs, it released the drill hammers into the tool rack and swapped in two demolition shears. With a couple quick turns, the Mechanical Colossus suddenly turned into a giant crab. Ye Qing controlled it just like how he would cut watermelons, as he proceeded to demolish the corals at random.
After getting cut down the center, a piece of giant rock was actually stuck between the demolition shears. As Ye Qing found sitting down too inconvenient, he stood up, then with a forceful spin, tossed the several ton stone towards the sea.
The stone flew over 20 meters before it splashed into the sea with a giant spray.
“Afortably improved Mechanical Colossus would also be able to hit the market. By then, all those foreign excavators would all definitely go crying to their mamas.
Once Ye QIng got down from the cockpit, he handed all the suggested comfort improvements to the master artisans.
Seeing that it was now 5 PM, Ye Qing was prepared to pay the University of Zhongyun a visit. To be more precise, to take many photographs of the coconut trees with the 3D camera.
Although the University of Zhongyun was ranked right in the middle of all national universities, its research facilities were completely comprehensive.
Not mentioning anything else, just take the tropical climate research greenhouse for instance. Although it was somewhat small, how many universities actually had one?
While on the road to the university, Ye Qing gave the vice-principal a call. This climate simulated greenhouse was practically the baby of the university. Not only were there coconut trees inside, it even had many fruit trees that were constantly being missed by the students.
So, without pulling any connections, there was no way for him to even get inside the greenhouse.
Last time, when Ye Qing’s company was mass hiring, the vice-principal Chen Huangying and Professor Cai personally led the students, so Ye Qing was guaranteed access when asking them.
Getting Ye Qing’s call, Chen Huangying was above and beyond delighted. Hearing that Ye Qing wanted to go into the greenhouse for some photographs, he was even ok with him going inside and pick until there were none left.
Half an hour later, Ye Qing’s Lagonda stopped in front of the university’s main entrance.
