Chapter 214 Installing the Mechanical Limb
Culture medium, authorized by Su Xiaocai to the seed shop owned by the boss of Capital Xing’an.
She promised Boss An that she would consider selling him new seeds if she had any.
But most seeds have become the focus of attention and cannot be given away at will.
So the first batch of culture medium distribution was given to him.
Boss An was sincerely grateful. He and Su Xiaocai were just casual acquaintances, but Su Xiaocai still remembered him, a small figure, even after she had risen to a high position. How could he not be grateful?
Not much culture medium was sold, after all, the supply of Wu Di bamboo to the market was limited, but his shop was still crowded with large numbers of people coming to ask for culture medium every day.
Indirectly, it also made his shop more popular. Su Xiaocai warned Boss An that if he dared to pass off inferior products as good ones, don't blame her for being ruthless.
When he got the authorization, he promised that the money he earned would be enough for his children to go to school. With Su Xiaocai as his partner, he wouldn't have to worry too much about whether the business would be good or bad in the future. How could he dare to do anything wrong?
Ever since netizens found out that bamboo shoots are edible, they have been laughing at Su Xiaocai in the comment section.
"Wudi Bamboo? The unripe bamboo is called a shoot, and you can eat it. It's amazing."
“On the Importance of Eating Everything.”
"Being a non-picky foodie seems to be a good idea. Try everything and you may find a cure."
"Foodies like us won't gain knowledge, we'll only gain weight."
"Hahaha, I thought the comments were all asking for medicine and bamboo, but it turns out they were all promoting the need for foodies."
"Foodies have simple and pure thoughts. I knew this would happen when I first became a fan of Su Xiaocai. Sure enough, the paparazzi have been stalking her for several times, but she still hasn't let down her reputation."
"My mother has already removed half of the flowers in the garden to plant Wudi bamboo. I don't think there will be many bamboo shoots from this small area. It's a waste of time."
Just one week after the announcement, the entire ten star systems were swept by the bamboo planting trend, and it was impossible to dig up bamboo in the wild.
Someone went to the military training school to steal.
Su Xiaocai had dug up a lot of bamboo before, almost all of it. In order to protect the remaining bamboo, Jun Pei tried every possible means and specially built a wall and opened a protective net.
The principal publicly reprimanded the three students who wanted to steal the bamboo, calling them opportunists. They knew that the school had less bamboo than outside buyers, but they still wanted to steal and sell it, treating the school's assets as their own.
The three students originally thought it was fun, but now that they were publicly criticized, they had to admit that they were wrong.
There was no bamboo for sale anywhere, what to do? The only place that sold bamboo seedlings was Yidian Vegetable Manor, and they would put out fifty portions of bamboo seedlings every day.
The price is super high, more expensive than buying bamboo shoots. You can buy it if you want. She didn't stop others from growing it, but she made it public. It's not too much to make a profit first.
At this moment, no one is protesting, because things grown with special soil cannot be solved by building greenhouses.
Among those who queued for a long time and bought bamboo seedlings to plant, almost 99% were unable to grow this delicate thing.
There may be some exaggeration, but this is the feedback online. Even if you plant it according to the method told by Su Xiaocai, it still cannot be grown.
Because at the beginning, the salesperson of Yidian Manor told the buyers that Wudi bamboo was not easy to grow, and if they insisted and the bamboo died, there would be no refund.
It was explained in advance that people who bought the seedlings could not blame Su Xiaocai.
Su Xiaocai: It would be strange if the crops could survive in winter. Even if they could survive, they might not necessarily produce bamboo shoots. She is waiting for all the capable people to provide their experience.
The medicine failed to provide sufficient supply, and slowly, the fever subsided, and the sick people could only wait.
On the other hand, mechanical limbs are selling like hot cakes. Bai Fu has opened a new factory and readjusted the production line. The output has now increased a lot. It is impossible to fully supply ten star systems, but it is still possible to meet the full pre-order quantity.
The first round of reservations has been completed and a new round of reservations has now been opened.
On this day, Luo Lianliang's grandfather was notified by the hospital to go and have his arm installed, so he arrived early in the morning with his granddaughter.
The thin little girl has gained weight now and looks fair and tender, very cute.
Luo Lianliang had a stable high salary and often bought delicious food. Even if he had to take nutritional supplements to get a quick meal, he would only buy high-end flavors.
The whole family's mental outlook changed completely.
The little girl circles around her grandfather as she watches the doctor install a robotic arm.
When the robotic arm was not installed on the body, it looked fake at first glance, like a finely crafted frosted mecha arm.
There were more than 20 people queuing behind Grandpa Luo. Some were in wheelchairs, some were missing an arm, and one had a mechanical limb on half of his palm, but it was an old model and its flexibility was much reduced compared to the new prosthetic limbs.
This man looks very serious, like a stern leader.
He was standing behind Grandpa Luo, outside the door, with his hands behind his back, watching the old man smiling and comforting his granddaughter, "It won't hurt, Grandpa will have healthy hands soon."
The little granddaughter's eyes were filled with tears. "It's okay if it hurts. My brother said that crying will make it better."
The doctor laughed and said, "Your grandfather said it didn't hurt, why are you making him cry?"
"Because adults say it doesn't hurt, but it actually does. They love to lie."
Everyone: It cannot be refuted, and it even makes sense.
The mechanical limb covers the entire arm, invades the limb, and makes nerve connections. This is when it hurts the most.
Grandpa Luo also forced a smile, not daring to let his granddaughter look down on him.
“Is it really not painful?” The little granddaughter blinked her innocent eyes, her face full of disbelief. She had heard from others that all prosthetic limbs would be a little painful to use. So aren’t all prosthetic limbs like this?
"It doesn't hurt." Grandpa Luo was in so much pain that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and endured it. The tiny stinging pain like an ant biting his heart was a hundred times more stimulating than ordinary pain.
It's just stimulating, the sense of touch is infinitely magnified.
Fortunately, this process is not very long, and it will be fine once the robotic arm has completely covered it.
"Okay, move a little," said the doctor.
Grandpa Luo did as he was told and raised his arm to move it. He was extremely surprised that it could actually move and felt more powerful than his own arm.
"Wow, Grandpa, can I touch it?"
Grandpa Luo immediately handed it to his granddaughter.
The granddaughter's tender hands squeezed her grandfather's palms. They were very smooth, warm and soft. They didn't feel fake. It was magical.
"Sister Su is so amazing." The granddaughter has met Su Xiaocai and was particularly impressed by her. Knowing that the robotic limb was a technological product developed by Su Xiaocai, she admired her very much. Her own brother also works in her factory.
The doctor asked Grandpa Luo to do a few training exercises. Seeing that he did not feel stagnant, the doctor said that the quality of the mechanical limb was satisfactory. "The hospital does not provide after-sales service, but the mechanical limb is insured. Please keep the receipt so that you can return it to the factory for repair if there are any quality problems in the future."
Grandpa Luo nodded, "Okay, do you need to take medicine or something?"
The doctor waved his hand: "No need." He added one more reminder: "You can eat more food to help the nerves connect better. But you have to listen carefully. When I say eat more, I don't mean eat as much as you can. You need a balanced diet and eat small meals frequently. Do you understand?" I am afraid that some people will take the doctor's words as an imperial decree and eat as much as they can if he says to eat more.
Sometimes doctors don’t dare to tell patients what to eat more of. At most, they can tell them what not to eat.
They are afraid that he will encourage patients to eat more, and the patients will eat too much every day. If something happens, they will be blamed. Grandpa Luo knows this, so even if the doctor says to eat more, he will not waste his grandson's money.
My grandson finally got a job in a big company. He won’t be bullied, nor will he be framed like his father was.
Even if we live a good life, we should not forget our roots. Grandpa Luo smiled and said, "I know, doctor, I will definitely not eat too much."
Doctors are satisfied with such patients and will not misinterpret their meaning.
The door of the consulting room was open, and the only sound around was the slight sound of suspended machinery delivering things.
The man standing outside the door watched every move of the doctor and the old man inside, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
Grandpa Luo also smiled at him, with a look of both enthusiasm and distance between strangers.
After the doctor said the next person, the man strode in, and his communicator brushed across the suspension machine. The cover on the machine opened, revealing a mechanical limb the size of half a palm.
If you know how to install the robotic limbs, you can install them yourself.
However, some people feel a lot of pain during the first installation, and there may be many unexpected events during nerve connection, so it is best to have the connection under the supervision of a doctor.
The man's mechanical limb had been custom-made a long time ago, and because the shape of the defect was so special, it took some time.
The manufacturing cost of a half-hand mechanical limb is higher than that of a limb without the entire hand.
Bai Fu didn't want to mess around, and after all the adjustments now, his mechanical limb was finally completed.
The man's mechanical limb installation process went very smoothly. The doctor said that he had been exercising constantly before to make his body fully prepared.
After the installation, I moved my hand and the color of several fingers changed, perfectly fitting the damaged parts. From the outside, there was only a green line in the middle of the palm.
There is no difference from a normal person's hand.
The man was amazed at the rapid technological innovation. He had previously thought that such a mechanical limb would not appear for at least another hundred years.
After all, in an era of frequent wars, who would focus on developing technology to benefit the disabled?
If this kind of technology is too expensive, most disabled people will not be able to afford it.
Everyone prefers to study technology that can make quick money or big money.
It all started with the fact that Su Xiaocai had a father who was missing an arm, but not many people knew this.
After all, the robotic arm of Su Laodi changed its appearance after it was officially sold.
He turned over and over again, and was able to perform all the movements. The doctor chuckled and said, "It is worthy of being the most expensive one. Even the simulation of the joints is the most accurate."
You get what you pay for. For example, Grandpa Luo’s mechanical limb looks real and feels good to the touch, but if you look closely, you can see that its pores are fake, there is no hair, and the texture is not clear.
Men's is different. Whether you look at it from close or far, it looks no different from a real hand.
"Very good, thank you doctor."
"Don't thank me, I'll just take care of it."
"I still want to thank you." Although the person who helped Su Xiaocai cut in line for the reservation was not a doctor, he still wanted to thank all the people in between for allowing him to have a normal hand again.
As the man walked out of the hospital, he saw Grandpa Luo holding his granddaughter and waiting in the hospital lobby. He took another look, and this one look froze him.
Su Xiaocai stood with a handsome young man. Su Xiaocai was slightly disguised and wore a pair of thick-framed black glasses to block the sharp light in his eyes.
Her aura was restrained into three points, and she looked clear and honest. Although she was still pretty, it was hard to associate her with the lively appearance seen in photos and videos.
The young man had a cool temperament and also wore glasses, but they were silver-rimmed. Behind him was a robot wearing cute skin.
The two men should be acquaintances of the two grandfathers and grandsons of the Luo family. They stopped to say hello when they met each other.
The Luo family’s granddaughter boldly went to hug the robot and yelled that she wanted her sister to go to her house for dinner to thank her.
Su Xiaocai had no choice but to say that she would go when she was free. It was unknown when she would be free.
But the little girl was deceived by Su Xiaocai's deceptive appearance, and asked her what she liked to eat.
Suddenly, Su Xiaocai looked up. She felt a strong gaze and recognized the man as the person in charge of publishing the Mangxue paper. She smiled and nodded.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaocai was so easy-going. The man nodded calmly and smiled with a stiff smile. He looked very nervous and didn't look like a leader at all.
Su Xiaocai came here to see the dean. The dean wanted to delegate the customization of some mechanical limbs to small clinics under the hospital management, so that there would be no need to specially send out two emergency doctors.
When Bai Fu went on a business trip to another planet, the one who had the final say was Su Xiaocai. Other salesmen could not make such decisions.
Only Su Xiaocai came over.
A hands-off boss doesn't really not care about anything. He still needs to know something about his own affairs. Su Xiaocai is too lazy to argue with others in this regard, so he asks Ji Li to use his expertise in sharp tongue.
The mechanical limb did not perform very well on the battlefield, but it allowed Shixing to see its flexibility.
Its fame was high for a while, but then declined because production couldn't keep up.
Now that there is a shortage of gene repair drugs, the issue of mechanical limbs has been brought up again. The old issue has been brought up again, easily diverting attention.
Many small clinics want to work with robotic limb manufacturers. The installation of a robotic limb is not difficult and can be done smoothly as long as you have a steady hand.
Of course, this can relieve the pressure on public hospitals, but small clinics will definitely make profits. Many small clinics are private and cannot control prices.
Su Xiaocai found it troublesome to negotiate the price with each family, so she expressed her concerns.
Bai Fu told her, "Now all small clinics must be connected to the Internet, including private hospitals. Except for the price of drug treatment, everything else is under control."
With this premise in mind, Su Xiaocai went to discuss it.
Robotic limbs will gradually become popular. Even if we don’t consider selling them in small clinics now, we will definitely expand our business to the lower levels in the future.
After all, robotic limbs are easy to install and only require the supervision of a doctor.
Su Xiaocai said goodbye to the Luo family's grandfather and grandson and turned to go talk about something. A medical bed whizzed past, followed by two doctors and several others in a hurry.
Su Xiaocai vaguely saw that the man's hand was cut in half.
"Did anything happen?"
The vice president who came hurriedly to receive Su Xiaocai rubbed his brows and said, "I guess it's not an accident." He glanced at Su Xiaocai and was too embarrassed to explain.
"We'll talk after we go in."
Entering a small conference room, the vice president wanted to immediately get into the formal topic, but Su Xiaocai returned to the injured person.
Some things cannot be avoided. If you feel something strange, pay more attention to it. It's not a bad thing.
The vice-president was even more embarrassed. This matter was really not Su Xiaocai's problem, but it was closely related to her.
