Mechanical etude. Research Lab in the smallest area.
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 9:16 am
Good mood everyone!
I suggest your attention a mechanical task of creating a compact research complex.
A bit of history.
It happened I have been needed researching in very small area. It does not matter why, but the goal was an ecologically clean lab in the woods (for don't disturbing nearest bites). And was born the idea of maximum urbanization. After complete my challenge I thought it may be interesting puzzle for someone. The minimum area's size I reached is foursquare in 11 cells. I hope someone will be able to improve the result.
The goal: in region 11x11 cells organize autonomous research complex.
Elaborates:
1. Delivery of resources to the area conducted with a maximum of two underground belts (one for copper, one for iron plates). On which side of the transport belt the plates are, and if both types of plates served with on belt is your choice. Also available electricity. That is all. You can choose any position of underground belts and electric pole.
2. Take into consideration that the possible long-term cessation of feeding any of the three resources.
3. At a distance of 4 cells from a area should not be a single device / construction (based on the maximum length of the underground belt - 4 cells). Thus we maintain a maximum of trees.
4. The area should contain at least one working laboratory with red and green flasks.
5. It is believed that we have completed all the research that require only red flasks. And there are no other studies. Accordingly, we will use the most simple mechanisms and structures.
6. Welcomes any reduction in the required area (primarily) and electricity consumed (i.e. better to use two long inserters at 19kV than three common inserters at 13kV).
Below is an example of resource delivering into the territory and working laboratory that we aspire to.
P.S. My english is not good, so please let me know if I made mistakes.
