[Panrock Universe] "Forging Furnace Mark II" Super Interactive Display Base: The ultimate hangar for model enthusiasts!

It's been a while since I last updated PanYan Universe with something substantial, but I recently acquired some model storage components, so let's get to work!

I've always wanted to create a mecha hangar with interactive functions, and now I've finally done it!

Simultaneously, PanYan Universe welcomes a new faction—the Chongguang Industrial Consortium (CIC)

Does the name sound a bit peculiar? It's because I live in Chongguang~ Hahahahaha

This diorama is a product of the Chongguang Industrial Consortium, and I've dubbed it—the "Forging Furnace Mark II" Super Interactive Diorama!

Behold! This is the effect:

• PanYan Universe
• Sci-fi military aesthetic
• Relatively high filament consumption (400g), but relatively short print time (14 hours)
• Low support removal difficulty
• No multi-color printing required
• The greatest challenge lies in cable management. While cable channels are provided behind the walls, the length of the wiring harness directly impacts your blood pressure (hahahaha, unless you choose to adopt a completely haphazard approach, of course)
• Main functionality and principles
  • Principle: Uses NFC near-field communication to identify NTAG215 chips to recognize objects
  • Effect: When a mecha stands on the diorama's RFID marker
    • The top illumination lamp breathes three times, then remains illuminated for 30 seconds before turning off to conserve energy
    • Simultaneously with the breathing lamp's continuous illumination, the terminal displays the mecha's name/number/main weapon (I have already preset information for MOSHOW's Tyrant Standard/Melee/Breaking Formation models. If you need assistance, feel free to ask, and I can help you write the information for your favorite mecha)
• Non-printed materials:
  • ESP32-C3 development board
  • One 1.3-inch SH1106 OLED screen
  • One standard RC522 NFC reader module (not the mini version, the larger one)
  • Several NTAG215 NFC chips (to be affixed to the bottom of the mecha for RC522 identification)
  • Four 5mm straw hat LEDs
  • Four 220-ohm current-limiting resistors
  • One 1000-ohm current-limiting resistor
  • One S8050 transistor
  • Several Dupont wires
• Code: See [Document 1 - Code Section]
• Wiring diagram: See [Document 2 - Wiring Diagram]
• 【2025.7.3 Update】: Due to overwhelming user demand for an A1 mini version, I've segmented the walls, adding four latches and one intermediate layer transition. However, due to steel plate size limitations, it now requires vertical printing (theoretically better results, but more time-consuming). This is the only way to preserve the original appearance to the fullest extent, I hope you like it!

—Brief Assembly Instructions—

——Background Information/Mechanical Settings——

In the PanYan Universe, Peak Dynamics (SD) holds a near monopoly. A group of individuals from the Chongguang region of Earth, dissatisfied with Peak Dynamics' monopolistic practices, decided to unite. They consolidated their smaller companies to form a relatively small organization—the Chongguang Industrial Consortium (CIC).

Originally operating in disparate fields, team members were responsible for R&D and production of various components, encompassing energy supply, mechanical calibration, and equipment manufacturing. Following the merger, CIC, leveraging its members' expertise, focused on producing supplementary equipment for other manufacturers. The "Forging Furnace" maintenance station is one of their flagship products. While its cost-effectiveness attracted some customers, CIC still lags significantly behind the well-established Peak Dynamics in terms of market share and continues to strive for success in the fiercely competitive market.

Titan XII, once a crewed manufacturing platform, has been expanded into a standard industrial colony.

Beneath the orbital city "He Yu Ring" lies an area prone to dust accumulation, serving as the front-line operations hub for XingRong Industries.

Within the 74th maintenance point, the sole CP-01-FORGE Forging Furnace maintenance station has just suffered its third system crash.
Wu Zhe slammed shut the processor interface, wiping his sweat and dust-covered face, and said with forced composure:
"If we wait any longer, we might as well tell the boss that the mecha is learning to repair itself and should be 'recovered' by next week!"

Lin Qi sat on the repair stand, frowning at the 2.9-meter unit on the overhead rail—a lightweight multi-legged mecha used for geological cutting tasks.

"I believe I can still salvage it..." the mecha, which was still on, stated.
Wu Zhe ignored him and turned to ask, "Have you contacted CIC?"

"Ten days ago. The logistics status said 'ready for shipment,' but it might not even be out of packaging yet."

The atmosphere was tense when a low rumble interrupted them.

A heavy ground transport vehicle with a magnetic levitation chassis entered from the west material passage. Its gray-blue and warning-orange body was scarred, and the power unit vibrated at a low frequency due to overload.
The side plate clearly displayed: ChenLu-C9 Ground Transport Vehicle · CIC (Chongguang Industrial Consortium Titan XII Logistics Center)

It slowly stopped at the edge of the maintenance area, appearing as if it were carrying half an arsenal despite only delivering parts.

The cockpit door swung open, and a short girl with a low ponytail and sweat-drenched hair jumped out: "Hello! XingRong Industries, Station Seventy-Four, right?"

She squinted at the work station nameplate, "Wu Zhe... Lin Qi? Excellent, that's right."

"My name is Liang Yu, CIC material support personnel, and this is my first time using ground transport."
She patted her work badge, panting, "Your repair parts aren't heavy, but this truck was temporarily diverted to transport something else—so I brought yours along."

Wu Zhe frowned, looking at the neatly packaged standard part in her hand—something a mechanic could carry up three flights of stairs.

"We've been waiting ten days, for this? And you had to bring a land tank?"

"I'd rather have carried it."Liang Yu chuckled, handing the package to Lin Qi and gesturing towards the back of the transport vehicle with her elbow: "But would you help me with this?"

They followed her gaze.

It was a giant package, approximately 3.75 meters high, 2.5 meters wide, and at least 2.1 meters deep, securely fastened to the transport vehicle's bottom compartment.

The silver-gray flat structure lines seemed freshly polished according to military specifications, reflecting a precision beyond civilian standards.

As the light grazed it, the identification number was revealed on the vehicle's compartment edge: CP-02-FORGE / MK2

Before Wu Zhe could speak, Lin Qi tapped an emblem on the sealed compartment's edge: a silver-blue hex-shield emblem with "Strategic Naval Research Institute" inscribed in the center.

She whispered, "Strategic Naval Research Institute..."

Liang Yu didn't directly respond, only gently closing the automatic lock on the rear compartment: "It's not my concern, nor yours. Officially, it's an 'unopenable test module,' and opening it during transport is prohibited."

She paused, then added: "It's just a stowaway, not yours. It's a commissioned research product and likely won't enter the market anytime soon."

"This number... that's... a new Forging Furnace?" Wu Zhe asked.

Liang Yu shook her head, avoiding a direct answer: "You can call it the Forging Furnace Mark II. Its specifications far surpass yours. As an emergency maintenance platform, it specializes in rapid repair, system reboot, power injection, automatic docking linkage... I can't say much more, I don't know much about it myself."

She smiled, "Sounds impressive, right? Under full conditions, it can instantly restore even PanYan mechas that can't boot due to zero energy."

Wu Zhe and Lin Qi felt a chill.

Liang Yu shrugged, turning toward the ChenLu-C9's entry point: "Alright! Let's not overthink it. I'm off, see you later~!"

The transport vehicle started, its magnetic levitation gliding across the uneven maintenance lines, gradually disappearing into the gray platform's distance.
The FORGE maintenance station finally resumed its gentle mechanical operation.

Lin Qi softly said, "Perhaps it will become widespread someday."

Wu Zhe watched the closed container, replying: "But before that happens, we have to survive the next system crash."
