Chapter 430 Surgical Expenses
The whole world is actually paying attention to this clinical trial. Humans have never been so close to Immortal Technology, and it is also a Cyborg electronic technology that can benefit the general public.
The prophecy that humans are about to obtain eternal life in 2045 has risen again, which makes everyone want to work hard to live to that point. Even the elderly who have only half their breath are no exception. Their only thought now is to find a way to survive.
Judging from the speed of development of electronic products, the cost of the Cyborg used experiments will be reduced by half every few years. By 2045, this Cyborg surgery will naturally be incredibly cheap.
These elderly people in their seventies and eighties are very confident that they can live to that moment. After all, there are only a dozen years left before 2045. At that moment, it will definitely be the critical point of Superman's drastic change. The old social model will be gone forever, and new rules will begin to dominate the world.
The various black technologies developed by Meow Star Laboratory have a profound and vast impact on society. The changes in the world are regarded as strange phenomena on the eve of the sudden change of Superman. Therefore, the development of Cyborg technology is regarded as a sign of the emergence of this critical point.
However, some experts and scholars believe that the sudden change of Superman has actually happened, but people don’t notice it. Artificial intelligence represented by computer angels is the last invention of human beings, while Cyborg technology is just a supplement.
No matter what, everyone thinks that this critical point will definitely come, and human society will also undergo tremendous changes, and even changes the form of human life.
"Not only can you charge when you are asleep, but of course you can also charge when you are awake, but also adopts a new wireless charging method. You can charge continuously by just lying in the sleeping compartment..."
In the operating observation room, Zhao Baibing explained to the parents of the experiment subject.
"Everything of Cyborg's body is designed for bionic humans. As long as the skin is not broken and the inner lines are exposed, there is no abnormality from the outside, and even saliva and tears are present. The smell may be a little different from that of a real person. After all, Cyborg's body has no sweat glands."
This kind of small problem can be strictly scented by the perfume, which is not a big problem. From a hygiene perspective, it is much cleaner than a real person.
"As for the more idealistic 'personal temperament', it's hard to say. Perhaps someone can tell the difference between Cyborg and humans at a glance, but in most cases they can still use fakes to be true!"
Zhao Baibing looked at the boy in the operating room with his eyes looking at the artwork. In the future, he might have an additional title of Father of Cyborg. Even though this technology actually comes from a bald boss, the boss is most afraid of troublesome things and doesn't care about this reputation at all, so he has to refuse it.
The parents of the experimenter's parents are not very concerned about these things. What they want to know is the cost issue. You should know that the Cyborg body is not a human body, and it needs regular maintenance like a computer angel.
"You don't have to worry about this. Our Cattle Star Group will provide free maintenance services for two hundred years. Even if the Cyborg's body is damaged, we can even replace our bodies for free, but there are only ten restrictions." Zhao Baibing explained.
The time limit and number of times limits are to prevent the experimenter from dying on his own initiative. Otherwise, the Meow Star Group could promise unlimited free service terms, but such loopholes would be too big.
In the operating room below, the experimenter has completed the system settings and can walk as freely as ordinary people. The basic settings are over. The remaining more in-depth settings need to be further used to complete, but such a Cyborg body is enough to cope with daily life.
"It's time for us to go down and meet with the guy." Li Maoye said to the others.
Of course, not everyone will meet with the guy. Only a part of the people in the observation room can go down, mainly laboratory staff, the guy's parents and reporters, and several domestic experts and scholars.
They all wanted to observe the experimental subject close up and carefully study the crystallization of human Cyborg Technology. As early as the operation was successful, the people present had already applauded and cheered to celebrate Cyborg Technology's milestone success.
"This is a fundamental solution to most human diseases? Not only amyotrophic cervix, but even aging can resist a little bit!" media reporters said to their colleagues around them.
"Isn't it? This Cyborg technology is very effective for many fatal diseases. If I am about to die, I will definitely change the body of the machine. What other problems cannot be treated?" the reporter's colleague replied.
Someone next to him added: "I'm afraid there are still some, such as brain diseases, and although biochips can treat some brain diseases, they are powerless to treat particularly serious diseases."
It means that if humans are brainless, it is the most difficult disease to treat.
In theory, if Miaoxing Laboratory can even treat brain disability, it will basically realize electronic brain technology.
However, the scientific community still has great doubts about this. After all, this is more ethical than a gimmick like a head change surgery. No one can determine how much brain tissue a person needs to be considered a human. The mainstream view of the Internet cannot replace universal moral ethics.
Even the Bald Eagle's Cyborg surgery cannot get everyone's support. For example, in his country, many organizations have publicly opposed the surgery and believe that a person's brain is original and his entire body is replaced, so he should not belong to humans.
This is not a few civil organizations protesting, and even some Bald Eagle government members publicly oppose it. They usually promote it in the name of religion and then use legal loopholes to restrict the return of Cyborg's young man from a legal perspective, because from a legal perspective, he no longer exists.
Of course, this kind of thing will only be debated in Western countries, while rabbits who oppose the East agree that as long as the brain is still their own, isn’t this the same person?
This is limited to the fact that the brain is not electronically modified. If even the protein brain is replaced with the electronic brain, then there may be many people in the rabbit who are concerned about this.
However, Meow Star Laboratory has not yet reached this point. It is estimated that before the technology is improved, the Chinese flower family will debate through various ways, and then let everyone reach a consensus, and then let the conference pass the relevant Cyborg bill.
As for Western countries to overcome this psychological level, they probably have to explain the definition of humanity by the Pope, and then other people may be able to accept the current Cyborg technology.
But the knowledgeable people were cheering, because this not only meant that most diseases were saved, but even physical aging could be effectively resisted. After all, the most terrifying thing about time is the erosion of time. No matter how great a person is, he will have no choice but to go to the grave.
For humans, life less than 30,000 days is too short, and most people even have about 20,000 days. Therefore, even if Cyborgization may also be the end of life, many people are still willing to try it.
Besides, people who are Cyborgized are still not themselves. This kind of philosophical problem is useless to ordinary people. Only those who are idle and frustrated will think about this issue seriously.
They may oppose Cyborgization in words, but when it is their turn to make a choice, most people will choose to continue to survive, no matter whether the humans or other monsters are left behind in the end.
Even so, the Cyborg technology of Meow Star Group has had a great impact, and it still makes many ethicists, jurists and medical circles in many countries feel headaches and troubles.
As the complete Cyborgization technology is about to come to reality, they have to solve the problems encountered in legislation before Meowstar Technology can turn the human brain into an electronic brain.
But all this is not worth paying attention to at all for Cattle Star Laboratory. They just need to find ways to develop the technology and then work hard to improve and develop the technology so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by this technology.
As the only experimental subject, he must of course try his best to cooperate with the research. These things were discussed during the recruitment period, and hundreds of pages of contract were signed.
Besides, the young man cannot return to China yet because the relevant departments of the Bald Eagle dare not let him in. The reason is very simple, just because they cannot determine whether the young man after Cyborgization still has legal citizenship.
In addition, they are also worried that there will be a backdoor on Cyborg's body, and that at a specific time, Meow Star or Rabbit can remotely control Cyborg to do things.
"This is simply because I have shit in my heart, and everything I see is shit!" Zhou Lin cursed with a smile.
Li Maoye didn't care about this. Whether the experimental subject can return to China has nothing to do with him. If he can only stay in the flower planter in the end, it will still be of much convenience for the laboratory's Cyborg research. At least if he wants to observe the experimental subject to obtain data, they don't need to ask someone to come and check it.
"By the way, after our first clinical trial was successful, many patients with ALS also wanted to get a normal life through this surgery," said Zhou Lin.
"That's easy to do. Let them apply for a quota for clinical trial volunteers first. After the laboratory has sorted out the surgical data, we will continue with the new clinical trial surgery." Li Maoye replied.
Zhou Lin smiled and said, "There are too many people applying this time, so many people are willing to pay for Cyborg surgery. After all, thousands and tens of thousands of people are competing for several places, and the chance of winning is too low!"
Speaking of the cost of Cyborg surgery, Miaoxing Group claims that Cyborg surgery requires 60 million yuan. Now the Rabbit family’s currency is much valuable, almost equivalent to US dollars. Therefore, this expenditure is not small and few people can afford it.
"The cost of surgery is so expensive?" Li Maoye looked at Zhou Lin next to him, frowned and asked, "I don't care about how to charge abroad, but do people in his own country also charge so many?"
Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "Of course not! According to regulations, the state will be reimbursed!"
If foreign patients want to undergo surgery, unless they have high insurance coverage, most of them cannot undergo surgery immediately, unless they can wait for the price to drop in a few years before doing it.
"Your false reports are too exaggerated, right?"
Even if Li Maoye did not get the cost list of Cyborg, he could roughly calculate that the actual cost should be around two to three million. If he enters the industrial mass production stage, the cost price can be reduced to about five hundred thousand, or even lower, and it is possible that if the production line is laid out.
"Isn't I going to keep the agreement?" Zhou Linman said indifferently: "We are not going to set the cost issue ourselves? It's already good if I didn't push the price to hundreds of millions!"
Li Maoye has no objection to this. Anyway, the rabbit can reimburse 90% of the surgical fee, and then there is a public welfare fund under the Cat Star Group that can apply for. As long as you are a citizen of the Flower Family and suffer from major diseases such as ALS, you can basically apply for a fee.
Some of them can be reduced here and some of them are reimbursed there. In the end, it is equivalent to free Cyborg surgery.
As for the needs of foreign people, they can only wait a few more years. If they can't wait, they can apply for clinical trial volunteers, or even rich people can do surgery at their own expense. Anyway, the passage is still left and it is not completely blocked.
In fact, if you think seriously, the cost of tens of millions of surgery is not much. The Cyborg technology involved is casually produced by one or two. Which one does not have a research and development cost of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars?
Only the situation in Meow Star Laboratory is special, and R&D costs can be ignored, and mature product technology can be directly obtained, saving countless trillions of expenses, and the numbers here cannot be calculated at all.
It is precisely because of this that the rabbits from the flower farmer happily promote the cat star black technology. Even though most of them are the Qiwu Fist that hurts others and themselves, the R&D expenses earned on the invisible books are actually so high!
The experimenter was unable to go back in the end, and even had his identity certificate cancelled by the Bald Eagle government. He lost his human qualifications from then on. Even though he was still alive in the physical sense, he was no different from the dead in law.
In fact, only some of them opposed the young man's return to China, but these people have too much influence, so other knowledgeable people can't do it even if they want him to come back. After all, this Cyborg body is a black technology product of Meow Star, and its actual value is much greater than the price.
These people wanted to invite the young man to the experimental base of the government department, and then let the experts carefully study his Cyborg technology to improve the Bald Eagle's own mechanic warrior level.
However, it is also beneficial for the guy not to go back. Miaoxing Group helped him apply for a green card from the flower farmer, and then lived in a long time as an experimental subject. He allowed other domestic scientific research institutions to study in his spare time, and he could also get a subsidy fee, and then lived a fulfilling life leisurely.
What surprised the young man was that he had a very famous name in the rabbit and he also got many advertising contracts...
