Chapter 115 Installing the Mechanical Limb

Only Feifan Island is calm and peaceful.

The attitude of not caring about anything that has nothing to do with me.

As usual, accounts are limited in number and issued every day.

Outsiders assumed that they would not take on this project, but who knows.

They were so busy that they didn't even bother to answer.

Yu Haiming had never written a bid, and there were few experienced people in the company.

So they could only learn and do on the spot and study how to write the bid.

A qualified bid document must be precise in wording, professional and complete.

Because it is so important, Yu Haiming cannot leave it entirely to his subordinates and must get involved.

The wording is accurate and complete, which is actually fine.

Professionalism must embody "spirituality".

The plan that Su Xiaocai gave him was too detailed and contained many professional terms, so he had to be selective in what he wrote.

Some of them are not related to the organizing committee. For example, Su Xiaocai adopts multiple ways for spectators to watch the game. There is no need to write them in detail here. You only need to write how many viewing modes there are and how much the admission ticket price is.

This is the combination of rhetoric and professionalism.

The fees will be charged according to the requirements of the organizing committee.

How to operate it is the business of Feifan Island itself.

But he couldn't use strong words.

It is necessary to take into account all aspects of delivery so that the other party cannot catch any point and delay payment.

Although 500 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the money spent by Feifan Island, Yu Haiming wants to plan for the company's welfare in the last few months of the year.

Every expenditure must be carefully calculated before it is spent, and every effort must be made to make the best use of every penny.

Yu Haiming has a lot of things to worry about, and Su Xiaocai also has a lot of things to worry about.

This time, she is destined to miss out on the scholarship.

He took leave frequently and stayed in the laboratory night after night to build the virtual site.

My hair is so oily that I can cook with it, but I still can't stop.

The scenes derived from Wisdom 02 required her to adjust them over and over again.

Let the Wisdom 03 simulation dummy experience it.

The project was only half done. Watching the simulated people walking around in the virtual field, Su Xiaocai always felt that there was a lot missing.

“02. This sightseeing elevator gives tourists an option to choose whether the floor is transparent or not.”

It’s a virtual city, so you can be imaginative and do whatever you want.

However, it must conform to people's common sense, simplify operations, and add more novelty.

On Saturday, Kaye reminded her that she had to go to the private restaurant for lunch.

Su Xiaocai looked at the time. It was Saturday already.

"Chibi Maruko, let's go. We agreed to go to a private restaurant. Thanks to Admiral Bai, we can have a free meal this time."

Chibi Maruko: "Okay, okay. I feel like my cooking skills haven't improved much lately. Caicai is always thinking while eating."

Cai Cai used to be very focused when eating.

Su Xiaocai felt very guilty. It was not because Xiaowanzi’s dishes were not delicious, but because she had no appetite at all.

She either went back to school to attend classes, or went to the fields and then returned to the laboratory.

I have been to the dormitory before, but my mind is always in the thinking stage, so it is difficult to appreciate the enjoyment of the food.

"Thank you, Chibi Maruko-chan, for the reminder." Today, Chibi Maruko-chan knew that she would meet guests, so she changed her shell specially to a vermicelli shell with a black ball on her head.

"You're welcome. You're injured. You need to eat more, or I'll get angry."

"Okay, okay." Chibi Maruko-chan is the best and most stable artificial intelligence in the world, no doubt about it.

Huahua is standing on top of Chibi Maruko's head at this time, in a "standing high and looking far" posture.

It doesn't like anyone to hug it recently. The weather is too hot, and it would rather lie on the cool head of Maruko.

Chibi Maruko is good-tempered, so just let it lie there.

The main reason was Su Xiaocai’s instruction.

Huahua, who has an independent personality, likes to hide in places where no one can find her.

The laboratory was too big and the garden wall could not contain it. Afraid that it would be too curious and run away, Su Xiaocai put one or two pieces of dried meat in the little ball's stomach to hook it.

The effect is remarkable. When Huahua is not sleeping, he will play with Chibi Maruko.

If Maruko is also busy, the security guard will look after him and put a tracker around his neck.

After spending a long time together, Chibi Maruko-chan and Huahua became good friends.

Since Chibi Maruko said she was going to learn some skills, Huahua naturally had to follow.

Kaye parked the car on the rooftop of the private restaurant.

Su Xiaocai got off the car, and Huahua jumped to the ground first. However, the ground on the roof was so hot from the sun that her paws were burned. "Meow," Huahua's fur stood up and she jumped back to Chibi Maruko's head.

The temperature outside is horrible, the heat wave is overwhelming.

The temperature-controlled parasol was of no use. As soon as I got out of the car, my forehead was covered with sweat.

Su Xiaocai hurried to the elevator.

Admiral Bai happened to arrive as well. He was pushing a wheelchair with a sharp-eyed woman sitting in it.

The woman had prosthetic legs and hands, but she wore long sleeves and long pants, as if trying to hide her defects.

Su Xiaocai smiled at them friendly but did not come forward.

Instead, he followed the waiter of the private restaurant to the private room first.

The woman sarcastically said to General Bai: "Your people are so arrogant, just like a dictator like you."

Su Xiaocai heard this, but she did not stop, but walked faster.

General Bai: "Sister, it is not convenient for us to meet in public. I am not a dictator, I just don't want you to become more extreme and irritable day by day."

The person being called sister is General Bai’s biological sister.

Three years ago, she escaped death from an insect-man outbreak, but she also lost both her hands and legs, and her personality changed drastically.

General Bai: "Also, you shouldn't vent your anger on her. Bai Ling's words are not credible. She was spoiled by her cousin. As an aunt, you should distinguish right from wrong. Don't believe everything you hear."

"Don't try to teach me a lesson. I'm not deceived. Su Xiaocai embarrassed Bai Ling at the banquet. Isn't that too arrogant? She just doesn't take the Bai family seriously."

Admiral Bai retorted: "We are just ordinary people. Only insect people have noble blood. Su Xiaocai just doesn't take Bai Ling seriously. Bai Ling, that girl, has no other advantages except her sweet mouth. I heard your uncle's call. You shouldn't be protecting her." Even if the child belonged to his own family tree, Admiral Bai did not give him any face and criticized him.

If Bai Fu were still in the army, she might have picked up a rattan stick and beat the child.

Bai Ling's company made her feel special towards him, even though she knew that Bai Ling's intentions were not pure.

"You brought me here today to find a girl to accompany me?" Bai Fu pursed her thin lips and presumptuously speculated negatively about General Bai's arrangements.

General Bai did not make any excuses. Sometimes, using facts to slap someone in the face can be very effective.

But he didn't want Bai Fu to have the idea of ​​belittling Su Xiaocai from the beginning.

"She has a lot of things to do, I can't afford to hire her, and she won't give up her career to accompany you. You think too highly of me, and you think too highly of yourself."

"You didn't introduce me to each other, so why did you bring me here?"

"You'll find out later."

Pushing open the door of the private room, the owner of the private restaurant was also there, and General Bai nodded to him.

The private restaurant owner also nodded and greeted, "Hello, sir."

"You're welcome. Feel free to do as you please."

Afterwards, the private restaurant owner continued to exchange cooking experiences with Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai really knows how to cook, although her skills are average and the food she makes is delicious, but she is far from the level of a first-class chef.

But she had eaten a lot of ingredients, many of which he had never even heard of.

It seems that in her eyes, there is nothing that is inedible as long as it is not cooked or detoxified.

From Su Xiaocai, the boss learned that there was a kind of fungus with a hallucinogenic toxin. As long as it was heated for a period of time, the toxicity could be removed and extremely delicious food could be made.

The boss was amazed and said, "I must try it when I have time."

Su Xiaocai rubbed her hands. The boss’s cooking skills would surely enhance the taste of the ingredients countless times. She wondered if she could ask for advice or record a video at that time.

Chibi Maruko was constantly absorbing cooking knowledge while the boss taught her the right heat, how to cut the ingredients, and how to season them to increase the flavor of the ingredients.

He had so much knowledge that Su Xiaocai wanted to kneel down and become his disciple.

But Admiral Bai was watching her, so she had to give up the opportunity. Time was very long, and she asked more questions every time she came. One day, Chibi Maruko would be able to become successful on her own.

Seeing that Su Xiaocai was getting more and more excited and obsessed with cooking, General Bai started to order dishes, and the boss tactfully left first.

Before serving.

Four retired veterans with hand and foot problems were welcomed into the box. The pain did not change their mental outlook, they were still energetic and their eyes were bright.

"Hello, sir. Hello, Miss Bai. Hello, Teacher Su."

The four people who came were all talkative types.

Su Xiaocai quickly broke into their chat circle and learned about their current situation.

Some of them did not leave the army after becoming disabled, but instead took up clerical jobs, some started their own small businesses, and others became General Bai's stewards.

They were all soldiers who were injured and disabled after the war some time ago.

General Bai said there was a chance to transfer them back to the army, so they came. After all, they would not be able to go back if they were retired for too long.

They are mentally strong and have no social problems. When asked about many issues related to life's inconveniences, they did not avoid them deliberately, but told Su Xiaocai how they did it.

Su Xiaocai began to understand why Admiral Bai wanted to perform mechanical transplants for them first. Such retired soldiers would adapt to military life as quickly as possible when they returned to the army.

"Sir, are you here today just to introduce the little kid to us?"

"No." General Bai had already transferred a large sum of money to Su Xiaocai, so he was sure it would be put to good use. He asked Su Xiaocai, "Can we start?"

Su Xiaocai made an OK gesture and took out a medical kit. "Please take off your clothes."

The first person to have the arm installed was not pretentious, as he was the only one who knew about it.

As one of General Bai's former right-hand men and adjutants, he is also the only one of the four retired soldiers who can still work with General Bai, and now works as a butler.

Su Xiaocai first removed his mechanical hand. Half of his forearm had been eaten by the insect man, so it could not be reattached.

The incision is now very smooth, so smooth that one can imagine how tragic it was.

In fact, ordinary robotic arms do not affect our lives, they are just not responsive and their movements are much slower.

Just being two steps late was enough to make them leave the army and be unable to return.

Su Xiaocai opened the medical kit and disinfected the area where the connection would be made first.

Then she took out the newly made mechanical hand, tore off the covering film, and fitted it to his broken arm.

The historic scene was reproduced, as metal extensions composed of countless silver dots extended directly to the arm. When the coverage was completed, the robotic arm turned into the same color as the skin tone.

Everyone's expression was stunned.

Even Bai Fu, who seemed a little mean, couldn't help but glance at him several times.

The color of the robotic arm completely imitates human skin and looks exactly like a real arm.

The adjutant moved his fingers, and then, as if he had obtained a new toy, he picked up the chopsticks and broke them with a click.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

After saying sorry, the adjutant took out a walnut from the space button.

He clenched his fist and the walnut broke into pieces in his palm.

This is so exciting.

Although many machines can do this, the feeling they give to the brain is different.

It feels very real, as if my arm has grown back, and has become stronger and more powerful.

"The strength can be adjusted. If you want, you can bend the chopsticks with one hand." Su Xiaocai gave him a manual. "Different sizes of mechanical arms have different functions. Considering that you will return to work with Admiral Bai, I installed an anti-spying device on your mechanical arm. Turn on this function, as long as you are within five meters of Admiral Bai, any conversation will not be heard. If you are in the room, it will be even more difficult for people outside to use instruments to detect your situation in the room."

The adjutant couldn't hear what Su Xiaocai was saying, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He was so excited that he covered his eyes.

The surprise of regaining what was lost is like a dream.

The existence of this robotic arm is of great significance.

The adjutant's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he choked with sobs and said, "Thank you, thank you so much."

This is the meaning of technology, not only to bring security, but also to bring hope.

"You're welcome." said Su Xiaocai.

The other retired soldiers were jealous and asked the adjutant how he felt.

"Very good, better than ever before." As if he had been reborn, he wanted to try other moves, but there was not enough space, so he had to suppress his excitement.

The adjutant suspected that the reason why Admiral Bai chose to install a mechanical arm for him here was to suppress their desire for experiments. He wanted to swing his fist and test the power of his fist.

Afterwards, Su Xiaocai installed robotic arms and robotic legs on the other three people.

In less than fifteen minutes, the four retired soldiers had transformed themselves.

If you don't look at the green line on the inside of the arm, you can't tell that the arm is any different from a normal hand.

The movements were so fast that they even competed with each other in hand speed. This test was even more amazing.

The hand speed is so fast that afterimages are left, and it can be controlled precisely. You can maintain the height you want it to stay at, and it is steadier than your own hands.

The four of them were like little kids, gesticulating happily.

The adjutant raised a hypothesis, "If all soldiers were equipped with these mechanical arms, would the soldiers be able to improve a lot?"

Su Xiaocai shook her head and reiterated, "This kind of transformation is only suitable for people with disabilities. The human body is full of wonders. Like Admiral Bai, I dare say that even if your entire body is transformed into a machine, you are no match for him. Humans are always full of possibilities, but machines have limitations."

The adjutant seemed to understand what Su Xiaocai said. He smiled with relief and said, "Thank you. Seeing you, I know what it means to be full of possibilities."

He didn't expect to have his arm repaired in his lifetime.

Although this repair does not mean physical recovery, but with this arm, he can be sure that he can return to his post and fight again.

Finally, of course, it was Bai Fu’s turn.

Admiral Pianbai asked Bai Fu to wait a little longer and served the food first.

Bai Fu's attitude of looking down on Su Xiaocai just now was too obvious. General Bai treated Su Xiaocai as a partner and they were equal in status.

So if Bai Fu didn't apologize proactively, he wouldn't come forward.

During the meal, Bai Fu was restless. Looking at the flexible arms of the four disabled people, she felt very regretful.

During the whole meal, Su Xiaocai ignored Bai Fu.

I only spoke to the adjutant and General Bai.

She doesn't want to put her face in the cold butt.

She is the sister of General Bai. You want her to bow down just because she is related to General Bai. That’s impossible.

Chibi Maruko was thinking hard, analyzing the differences between the food she cooked and that of her boss, and why Cai Cai was eating so happily.

It has been a long time since Su Xiaocai had such a relaxing time tasting delicious food. I wonder if the boss's cooking skills have improved. Why do the dishes today feel even better?

Su Xiaocai cleared the food from the table, wiped her mouth, patted her stomach and prepared to leave.

Bai Fu finally couldn't help it, "Student Su, wait a minute."

"what's up?"

A clear gaze is like a deep pool that can illuminate people's desires.

Bai Fu lost her aggressive arrogance and said, "I'm sorry, it's my bad attitude. I'm prejudiced against you."

"Hmm?" Su Xiaocai sat down again.

She was very satisfied with the dinner.

She was willing to give face to Admiral Bai, mainly because Admiral Bai was generous and paid the money in one lump sum, which included the cost of Bai Fu's mechanical limb.

The soldiers saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense and sat as obediently as possible.

After observing for so long, Bai Fu realized that given the high-end cards in Su Xiaocai's hand, it could only be Bai Ling who provoked her first.

"I apologize for my prejudice. I took my anger out on you. I am truly sorry."

Bai Fu was willing to put aside her pride, she really wanted to regain normal movements. Although her prosthetic limbs allowed her to walk, her mechanical arms were very weak and these parts had no sensation. No matter how flexible they were, they could not get any sensory feedback.

This can easily lead to frustration, just like a person who originally had a normal sense of taste suddenly can't smell anything and everything he eats tastes like chewing wax.

The adjutant and the retired soldiers kept talking about how they felt about the new robotic arm at the dinner table, which made her more excited than ever before, so she quickly installed it.

Even if she couldn't return to the army, she wanted to feel like a normal person again.

Bai Fu understood why Admiral Bai brought her here, as that was her dream come true.

She even tried to clone her arm, but it was useless. That arm was not born naturally to her, so it would never be her own. After the transplant, there would be a severe sense of stiffness and it would be very difficult to control.

And just because it’s cloned and not rejected, it doesn’t mean that the thing will be 100% safe from spoilage.

The feeling of necrosis and decay in her arm made her feel even worse.

Su Xiaocai looked at General Bai, and General Bai glanced at Bai Fu's hand. His meaning was very clear: stop playing.

There are too many people from the Bai family in the army, so it is impossible for Bai Fu to join the army.

The patents have been granted and the confidentiality level has been slightly reduced.

Su Xiaocai stopped throwing tantrums and helped Bai Fu restore her limbs.

The two robotic arms had just been installed. Bai Fu carefully stroked the smooth arms, feeling the texture with her fingertips.

So touching.

It's exactly the same as a real arm.

Bai Fu will not be a soldier in the future, but just an ordinary person. The robotic arm is made of simulated leather and its functions are reduced, but it is more durable. If you pay attention to maintenance, it will definitely be no problem to use it for decades.
