The mechanical octopus arm was easy to solve; Ling Yi simply disassembled and reassembled the high-tech toys he had bought.
Although it looks odd and very rudimentary, and its flexibility is poor, as for its sturdiness, don't even get me started; it's anything but futuristic.
But with these six robotic arms, things became much more convenient for Ling Yi.
Scissor-like mechanisms are too risky; robotic arms are the solution.
For Ling Yi, the most difficult part of robotic arms is numerical control.
What Ling Yi needs to do is not CNC in the traditional sense, but CNC that connects to brainwaves, which is currently still just a concept: a brainwave controller.
Ling Yi Ling Yi has the method for making a brainwave controller in his mind, but he can't figure it out yet.
One issue is materials; we need superconducting materials that can synchronize with brainwaves, and such materials can only be fabricated in top-tier laboratories.
Ling Yi doesn't have that option right now.
Moreover, the brainwave controller design in Ling Yi's mind did not actually meet his expectations.
It's too big, too bulky, and poses safety hazards. It can't be used for long periods of time and often breaks down due to data overload.
After all, Ling Yi only purchased the Heart of Technology), which is still within the scope of conventional technology.
To advance to the Transcendent Grade, you need 100,000 Achievement Points, which I can't afford.
Even if you could afford it, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it due to limitations.
Therefore, Ling Yi decided to buy it ready-made from the System Shop.
Brainwave Interface Controller), worth 2000 Achievement Points.
At this point, Ling Yi's Achievement Points dropped from four digits to three digits again.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi doesn't have a laboratory and can't access advanced materials right now.
The controller is a black cesium disc, no bigger than a coin, and looks inconspicuous among a pile of Yuan Artifact.
This thing has Bluetooth functionality, so it can directly connect to any Bluetooth-enabled device, and can connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
At this moment, it had already quietly connected to Ling Yi's mobile phone and the signal receivers of the six robotic arms.
Due to the angle, the camera inside the car did not capture the image on the phone.
Otherwise, one would have discovered that Ling Yi's phone was currently displaying lines of code at a frantic pace.
This is the controller's self-test process.
By 3 p. m., Ling Yi had concocted a hat-like contraption and, with Xiao Qiuqiu's help, put it on his head.
"Hmph!" Ling Yi suddenly let out a muffled groan.
A sharp pain shot through the back of Ling Yi's head and neck, causing him to wince involuntarily, but the sensation quickly subsided.
This is the pain experienced when the probe of the Brainwave Interface Controller) extends and pierces Ling Yi's skin, directly impacting the spinal cord nerves.
This is an inevitable process.
This controller is not yet capable of wireless transmission of brainwave signals; it can only transmit data by directly connecting to spinal cord neurons.
As for the hat-like thing on Ling Yi's head, it was just for show, used to fool people.
At that very moment, the six mechanical arms that had been lying among a pile of parts suddenly seemed to come alive and snapped open.
"Oh my god!" Xiao Qiuqiu was startled.
She really jumped, and her head hit the roof of the car. The pain almost brought tears to her eyes.
But at this moment, she disregarded the pain, her face filled with shock as she stared intently at the six mechanical arms attached to the disc.
This was Ling Yi's first time controlling a robotic arm in such a strange way; he had absolutely no experience.
It cannot be perfectly controlled in a short time.
Fortunately, the controller comes with an adaptive program that automatically synchronizes with the brain and external data.
Da Zhou was startled, his hand trembled, and the car shook. Da Zhou quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
" Ling Yi, what is this thing?!" Da Zhou turned around and asked curiously.
Ling Yi had no Kung Fu Hustle to answer them.
At this moment, Ling Yi was having a completely different experience.
It felt as if those six mechanical arms were an extension of my own body.
It seemed I could control these six robotic arms at any time, making them do whatever they wanted.
This feeling is wonderful.
Ling Yi tried it, and as Ling Yi had Perception, Ling Yi could easily control the mechanical arm.
However, these six robotic arms were pieced together from various sources, resulting in a lack of dexterity and a sluggish feel.
Under the witness of Da Zhou, Xiao Qiuqiu, and millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.
The six mechanical arms trembled a few times, gradually stabilized, and then, like a giant spider, slowly stood up and shakily walked above Ling Yi.
The central disc was pressed down and placed against Ling Yi's back.
Then, the six arms worked together, their movements somewhat stiff, but they perfectly secured the pre-prepared straps and the disc connecting the robotic arms to Ling Yi's body.
Six robotic arms, with a slight bend and a burst of force, lifted Ling Yi directly.
These six robotic arms, when fully extended, are over one meter long. Each robotic arm has joints composed of three sets of drive shafts.
A single robotic arm can only bear a weight of less than five kilograms, but the combined maximum load of six robotic arms can exceed fifty kilograms.
Taking Ling Yi along is no problem at all.
This made Ling Yi look like a giant spider, Octopus Piglet, officially born.
Ling Yi controlled the robotic arm, moving his body around inside the vehicle, climbing up and down, appearing very steady.
The movements were just too slow, like someone who was partially paralyzed.
This greatly displeased Ling Yi; it seemed he could only upgrade and modify it gradually in the future.
After a brief adjustment, the six robotic arms first picked up the phone from the seat and placed it on the disc behind the back. Then, they automatically retracted, folded, and flipped, not only securing the phone firmly but also making it completely adhere to the disc.
It looks like he's carrying a backpack.
This disc is actually the main control center of the robotic arm; Ling Yi mainly uses this thing to control the robotic arm.
However, the circuit boards and various Yuan Artifact on the disc were all cobbled together by Ling Yi from various sources.
Therefore, it is not only quite fragile, but also very inefficient.
Putting everything else aside, this robotic arm is powered by the most ordinary electrical energy.
"Holy crap, this is the thing you spent 300,000 to cobble together?" Da Zhou's eyes lit up.
Ling Yi nodded.
"But isn't what you're doing a bit too extreme? What are we humans supposed to think? What are your fellow humans supposed to think?"
What the hell do my kind think? My kind are all One Dish, how can they compare to me?
Pshaw, I'm not a pig, okay? Although I do look like one right now.
"I'm a genius!" Ling Yi's phone automatically announced.
But Ling Yi didn't touch his phone at that moment.
"Is this really that amazing? It just looks like a few mechanical arms." Xiao Qiuqiu was a tech Little White and couldn't see anything special about it.
"It shouldn't be considered impressive. I learned all of this online these past few days, or more precisely, from you humans."
"If I can make it, then humans can certainly make it too."
Okay, that's at least a reason, and the viewers in the live stream just need one.
Although it takes time to accept it.
Although this is a flawed yet plausible explanation!
"Why can your phone send voice messages automatically?" Da Zhou, unlike Xiao Qiuqiu, felt that Ling Yi's ideas were too futuristic and too cool.
"This is brainwave receiver technology. Haven't humans mastered brainwave detection technology long ago? Just like when you humans go to the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG), that's the technology they use."
"Isn't this simple?"
"Now that you mention it, it seems pretty simple." Xiao Qiuqiu nodded.
Da Zhou was also a tech Little White and couldn't figure it out, but she always felt that this thing was not as simple as Ling Yi said.
Is the simplicity that Tianpeng speaks of the same concept as the simplicity we understand?
[Pshaw, simple my foot! It involves way too much technology. A brainwave controller is just a concept, still in the realm of science fiction. Humans can't possibly achieve it right now.]
[But how come Tianpeng was able to make it? Doesn't that mean we're not even as good as a pig?]
[This pig's intelligence must be Potian; its learning ability would make even Tesla and Einstein kneel before it.]
[To give a simple example, if humans were capable of creating a brainwave controller, it would mean that humans could already digitize brain consciousness.]
[People can drive cars, fly planes, and drive tanks through their consciousness, just like the Trisolarans; they can also communicate through their consciousness.]
[We could even transfer consciousness into Computer, achieving a form of immortality through consciousness.]
[ Big Shot upstairs, are you sure Tianpeng's consciousness controller is the same thing as the consciousness controller you're talking about?]
[At least, Tianpeng has already gained initial mastery of consciousness datafication technology.]
So, grab it, slice it?
[Cut my ass! All you know is slicing? Tianpeng is a treasure now; not only can we not slice him, we must protect him carefully. Tianpeng might very well help humanity achieve a leap in civilization.]
Aren't you worried that Tianpeng, being too clever, might one day turn around and rule over humanity, enslaving them?
[Yes, he is, after all, a pig, not a human, and pigs have always been human food.]
And coincidentally, Xiao Qiuqiu saw this comment in the live stream.
So I read that comment aloud.
Ling Yi said with a disdainful look, "Don't compare me to those inferior creatures. I am not of the same species as them. I am unique."
"I am not an enemy of humanity, nor do I wish to be."
To reiterate, Ling Yi was simply expressing his own attitude.
But the world is dark where it should be, and there is always filth beneath the light.
If some people's interest in Ling Yi was only 60 before, it's now 100.
Putting everything else aside, the consciousness controller that Ling Yi created is bound to be coveted by others.
The show is about to begin.
This time, Da Zhou drove for a full eight hours before finally arriving in Zanggong City.
Da Zhou was exhausted. Driving for eight hours straight was absolutely grueling for a streamer like her who often stays home to broadcast live.
After dinner, I booked a hotel, took a quick shower, and went to sleep.
Xiao Qiuqiu watched videos for a while, then couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, quietly waited for midnight to arrive.
"Ding!" The familiar midnight alarm sounded.
Ling Yi eagerly opened the system interface.
