Chapter 241
After the Fesenthal reporter was found, it really disappointed those who wanted the Black Meow Star Group!
Journalists from major newspapers and magazines of Western media also quickly evacuated, and no one mentioned this matter soon, at least on foreign media platforms.
This farce-like thing has no effect on Meow Star Laboratory!
Before the reporter's disappearance case was revealed, Li Maoye was busy studying a key project in the "Mechanical Immortality" program, controlling the mass production and implantation of balls.
After the preliminary plan came out, Li Maoye immediately asked Qin Hua and others to try out a batch of control balls.
After preliminary tests and confirming that the design plan is fine, he asked Assistant Xie to do the relevant filing, and after obtaining the civil service permit from the relevant departments, he immediately notified the people from the Meow Star Group to receive the goods.
"Mr. Li has black technology for civilian use again?"
The news came to the group shocked the senior staff. Even Zhou Lin rushed to the laboratory in person. He wanted to see what the mass-produced control ball looked like.
"Is this the ball control?"
Zhou Lin and others surrounded the table and stared at the white beads that were only the size of rice grains on the glassware. They could hardly believe that these things could connect human cells and machines.
"That's right!"
Li Maoye gave them a positive answer and then introduced: "It can not only be industrialized and mass-produced, but also the cost problem I have solved. As for the implant surgery to control the ball, another device must be assisted."
That device was also made together. Its shape is similar to a metal cylinder. There is a perspective screen on the outside, which can move and control the position of the ball in the human body.
Doctors can first use a large syringe injection method to inject the control ball into the part where the surgical object needs to be installed, then put on this metal cylinder to observe the control ball, and can also perform touch screen operations to move them to the appropriate position, and then double-click the control ball to activate and start.
When the control balls are activated, they will release nanometallic filaments and connect to human nerve cells according to the doctor's guidance. If the connection is successful, it will be displayed as a green sign, otherwise it will be a red sign.
This operation has been simplified to the extreme, and it is incomparable to the difficulty of Li Maoye performing Wu Ping when he was performing surgery. Even if you have some medical knowledge, even a novice can master transplantation skills after one or two operations.
Speaking of the word, Li Maoye suggested that they immediately find someone to test the lab to see how effective this mass-produced control ball is and how successful the surgical implant control device is.
Everything has to go through a lot of clinical testing before it can be truly introduced to the civilian market.
Zhou Lin knew that the relevant departments were going to take a batch of control balls from the Meow Star Laboratory. Those were the original versions of the control balls, which were impeccable in terms of performance, but if you want to successfully transplant it into the body, you need very high surgical skills.
It is said that the relevant departments have found many industry experts for research and have performed more than ten operations, but only one case was successful. After the operation was completed, the patient's prosthetic feedback effect was one level worse than that of Wu Ping.
It can be seen that the biggest problem with mechanical prosthesis is that the transplant surgery is very difficult, so that no one can perfectly transplant except Li Maoye.
Now that this problem has finally been solved by the big guy, then in the foreseeable future, intelligent mechanical prosthesis will enter the daily life of disabled people!
Li Maoye handed over the technical information and then ignored it again.
Anyway, people from Cattle Star Group will be more attentive than him. Anyone with some common sense will understand that this technology will bring hundreds of billions of profits to the company.
Of course, Zhou Lin was also very clear about this. He immediately arranged for people to go to the laboratory to collect the materials and took away a batch of samples for analysis.
Among these data, in addition to controlling the ball, there are also mass production and manufacturing materials for mechanical prosthetics, and many technologies are also derived from the research results of the computer angel group.
"The cost of mechanical prosthesis is calculated. A complete arm costs 100,000 yuan, while a complete leg costs 150,000 yuan. The price can be determined based on how many parts of the prosthesis are customized by individuals!" The head of the technical department reported.
Of course, there is a big difference between civilian versions of mechanical prosthesis and military use. They have been castrated in terms of accuracy, upper limit of strength and auxiliary functions. Just ensuring stability and safety is enough to meet the needs of ordinary people.
Therefore, the cost is much less than the mechanical prosthesis used by Wu Ping, especially after industrial mass production, the cost of prosthesis will further decrease significantly.
“What about the cost of controlling the ball?”
Zhou Lin is more concerned about controlling the ball. If this key technical product is lacking, no matter how expensive the mechanical prosthesis is, it will not work well, so the cost of controlling the ball is very important.
"Well, the cost of controlling the ball is not high. A set of controlling the ball is about one or two thousand yuan. It has been included in the cost calculation just now. This is used together with the prosthetic."
The technical supervisor paused and continued to add: "The skinning of mechanical prosthetics needs to be calculated separately, because there are too many choices here, and of course it can be used without skinning."
"Don't worry about skinning. Let's quickly create a batch of prosthetics and control balls, and then find someone to test the effect!" Zhou Lin ordered.
The technical department supervisor ran out immediately and notified his subordinates to prepare.
Everyone's morale is very high. These technical people want to study the technical data thoroughly and then manufacture the black technology products inside. You should know that many companies in other countries organize research on mechanical prosthetics, but no one can do it more practical than Meow Star Laboratory.
The information provided by Li Maoye is very complete, and many technical details are taken into account. Technical personnel can basically solve most problems based on the content of the information, and even some non-technical problems can be overcome by adding manpower or equipment.
Within a few days, the factory under Miaoxing Group had already conducted trial production. They copied the control balls based on the experimental drawings and also made a batch of hand and foot prosthetic parts according to design needs.
On the day when he received the news, Zhou Lin immediately led a team to the Meow Star Industrial Factory.
"Mr. Zhou, all the sample parts have been prepared according to the design plan." The head of the production department hurried up to greet them and reported the production situation of the factory one by one.
"Are there any assembled prosthetic limbs? Take them over and take a look!"
Zhou Lin seemed very excited. He decided to arrange volunteers to come for the trial as soon as possible, and it is best to pass the clinical test as soon as possible, and then strive to go on sale within these few months.
Soon, several factory staff brought the assembled prosthetic limbs and then demonstrated them to the bosses on the spot. Although the transplant control ball was not installed to the human body, this prosthetic limb could be used according to the design, so the test performance can be operated through a special machine.
Human technology on Earth is flying, and the technology of mechanical prosthetics is also constantly improving. If you do not consider black technology products such as control balls and simply compare the performance of prosthetics, there is actually not much difference between prosthetics and humans.
Thanks to the development of polyurethane molecular batteries, the continuous progress of software and hardware, and the accumulated experience in the production and manufacturing of computer angels, Miaoxing Group's mechanical prosthesis level is internationally ahead of the world.
The mechanical prosthesis in front of everyone has very high accuracy and movement completion. It can complete a series of basic movements such as twisting, pointing, grabbing and weightlifting, which is almost the same as the movements of human limbs. It can even do some movements that humans cannot do, such as 36o-degree reversal of the entire arm and thigh, etc.
Of course, in order to enable users to better adapt to prosthetic limbs, these actions that violate human common sense are usually prohibited and can only be done under certain special circumstances. For example, when the user is in danger of his life, he can control it through his brain and make restrictive actions.
Or some special professionals can apply to relax restrictions according to their own needs, for example, police can relax a certain degree of power restrictions, or increase electric shock functions, etc.
Although prosthetics made by Meow Star Technology can make various complex actions, compared with prosthetics made by other companies, its overall structure is not too complicated. Except for the serpentine muscle metal, the remaining parts are only more than 3oo, which is far less than the prosthetic parts designed and manufactured by other companies.
According to incomplete statistics, a complete and practical prosthesis can at least have thousands of parts.
The structure is simple and there are few parts, which means that reliability and stability have been greatly improved, and the cost can naturally be controlled at an extremely low level.
For other companies' prosthetic products, once this mechanical prosthetic is on the market, it is simply a waste of their jobs.
Especially in terms of software control and processing ability of weak nerve signals in the human body, the level that can be achieved by controlling the ball can make others feel desperate. This is definitely another black technology for Meow Star!
This is also one of the characteristics of Meow Star Group's products. I feel embarrassed to say that it is produced by Meow Star Technology without any black technology.
Putting aside the performance advantages of controlling the ball, just a simple transplant surgery has left other companies' mechanical prosthetics beyond the reach.
Meowstar Technology's mechanical prosthesis itself does not need to be implanted into the human body. It can be controlled by just implanting the control ball at the end of the residual limb. It is much safer and more convenient than those methods that require chips to be implanted into the brain.
After all, when making choices, consumers usually do not choose to implant chips into their brains, but instead choose to implant small control balls on the damaged limbs, thus avoiding greater risks.
...
"Miaoxing Group recruits volunteers and invites you to undergo a mechanical prosthetic transplant..."
Nothing was expected. The important news about the clinical test of mechanical prosthetic limbs suddenly appeared on the official website of Miaoxing Group, but after a long time of pinning, it was quickly removed.
Just because there were too many people participating in the registration, 10 volunteer places were quickly used up.
The total number of disabled rabbits in flower planters is more than 80 million, accounting for more than 6% of the total population in the country. Among them, there are more than 20 million physical disabilities that meet the registration requirements, accounting for more than 29% of the disabled population.
Many of the more than 20 million people are extremely poor and disabled people. They belong to families who have difficulty in having three meals a day. Even disabled families who are not extremely poor have a difficult life.
With such a huge base, when the news officially announced by Cattle Star Group, countless families will immediately pay attention!
It can even be said that the news of recruiting volunteers was immediately spread in the chat group of disabled people, and those who meet the registration requirements quickly used up their only places.
At the same time, the relevant news is spreading more and more widely. Even those who are not usually related to the disabled group know this news, and they are also attracted by the technology of mechanical prosthetics.
Suddenly, everyone rushed to tell me: "Miaoxing Group has black technology products to be launched again, this time it is a mechanical prosthesis!"
"Is mechanical immortality really coming?"
"That's what Cat God said in the video, right?"
The hot topics on the Internet were soon occupied by mechanical prosthetics, and everyone discussed the recruitment of volunteers by Cattle Star Group. There is no problem with the sentence "Xi Da Pu Ben" to describe that situation!
Chapter completed!
