Great Power Technology

The test of the robotic arm lasted for 6 hours. After dinner time, Chen Li installed the battery for Du Fuguo and removed the EGG monitoring circuit, leaving only the control circuit for the robotic arm. So Du Fuguo faced the funny situation Wearing an EGG hood, he walked out of the ward and walked all the way to the canteen with the support of his girlfriend.

Along the way, patients passing by kept running up to say hello to him, and some even jokingly said to him, "Lao Du has bought new equipment again." But not only did this not offend him, the smile on his face even grew. brilliant.

Maybe, this is what he really wants.

Be treated like a normal person.

At the dinner table, the leaders who came to accompany him all had their own meals, and no one took care of him deliberately.

Du Fuguo clumsily held the spoon with his new robotic arm, but he often dropped the spoon due to his unskilled operation. However, he was able to skillfully judge whether there was something in his hand based on electrical signal feedback. Every time he dropped the spoon, He would fumble again to get the spoon back.

This action made the robotic arm covered with food stains. After wiping it with his left hand, he suddenly asked with some embarrassment:

"Dr. Chen, do you think this won't work?"

Chen Li looked at his arm and then explained:

"No, we use alloy materials. You can wash it with dish soap or shower gel when you get back."

"No need to take it off? Can I take it with me when taking a shower?"

"It's not possible now. We haven't made your battery waterproof yet. When it is integrated in the future, you can take a shower with the robotic arm."

"how long?"

Du Fuguo asked eagerly.

"A few months. This thing is neither difficult nor easy. There are still technical requirements."

"It's not too slow then. You should also pay attention to rest. Your health is the most important thing!"

"Don't worry, we will pay attention."

Chen Li replied gently.

The meal was eaten very slowly, and it took more than two hours for everyone to leave. After saying goodbye to Chen Li and his party, Du Fuguo took his girlfriend for a walk in the small square of the hospital. The two of them walked slowly on the stone road. He is still trying to control his factory-new right hand.

"Do you think I look like RoboCop? The one in that ugly country movie!"

A proud smile appeared on his face, and he already had a somewhat comfortable posture between flexing and stretching his arms.

"My whole body is made of machinery, and you only have your arms. How about this? Is this useful?"

"It's easy to use! It's much better than the previous prosthetics, but it's hard to use. It's really hard to use. Especially the electrodes on the arms. It's too difficult to match them with the fingers. If the brain is not flexible, it's really hard to use." Don’t know which is which.”

"It would be great if my eyes could see. I heard Dr. Chen say today that if there is visual feedback, this robotic arm will be much smoother to use."

After hearing this, his girlfriend patted his arm gently and said:

"Didn't Dr. Chen also say today that they are also doing research in this area, and it will probably take some time. After all, this is the most advanced technology - but he said that people like you who could see before and then later It will be much easier for those who are blind to see again in the future than for those who are blind from birth.”

"You listened very carefully. You remember this."

There was also a smile on the girlfriend's face. She looked at Du Fuguo's face and replied:

"That's right, can I not worry about your affairs?"

Hearing this, Du Fuguo sighed.

"Following me makes you feel wronged."

"How can I not feel wronged? Today, Dr. Xiao Zhu said that you are attracted to girls. Why, you didn't listen to this?"

"It's just a courtesy, but you can't take it seriously."

"How can that be polite? What he said was sincere, you just don't admit it."

"Harm, I just want you to like me."

The two of them talked and laughed all the way. After walking around the small square, they returned to the small independent apartment arranged for them by the military zone.

In the room, his girlfriend helped Du Fuguo remove the robotic arm according to the operation manual given by Chen Li, and then took the battery to the socket to charge.

"I found that their battery is quite durable. You have been struggling with it for so long, and you still have 98% of the power. After calculating this, doesn't it mean that it can be used for several days on a single charge? The electrical connection of your original prosthetic limb I can’t last a day.”

"That's right, I heard that this is also a new achievement. Youyou, you don't know, we have a lot of new achievements recently. The J-20 has been put on the aircraft carrier, the H-20 has made its first flight, and then we bought the Big White Goose. What is the Big White Goose? You know, right?"

"I know, I know. How many times have you told me, let's go, let's go, go take a shower, I'll help you wash this robotic arm."

"Okay. Then remember to dry it off. I have to practice later."

"I know! Go quickly!"

Du Fuguo threw out his sonic blind stick, groped all the way to the enclosed balcony, took off his clothes, and then walked into the bathroom holding his clothes.

His movements are skillful, and except for walking slower, they are almost the same as ordinary people.

Looking at this scene, Youyou's eyes suddenly showed a trace of expectation.

Even if the technology to restore vision mentioned by Dr. Chen does not appear in a short time, it seems that this robotic arm alone will bring a big change to the lives of the two of them, right?

Maybe this day is just around the corner?

Thinking of this, she picked up the not-heavy mechanical arm and walked into the kitchen, and began to carefully wipe every corner of it with a soft rag under the water.

This night, Du Fuguo was sitting in the living room practicing his robotic arm. When Youyou woke up in the middle of the night and walked out of the living room, he was still trying to grab the pen on the table and write on his thigh.

Youyou told him the time and wanted to persuade him to take a rest early, but the other party's answer surprised her.

"Yuyou, it's not that I have to practice at this time. The main thing is that this thing is really fun. To be honest, even if I am an able-bodied person, if you give me a mechanical arm like this, I can play with it all night."

"So, please leave me alone for the time being. I will take a rest when I get tired of playing. Besides, I heard that Dr. Chen and the others will be leaving in two days. I have to use this time to get familiar with each other and try to get them to leave." I was able to use both robotic arms well before.”

Youyou glanced at him helplessly, and finally hugged him gently, then turned and returned to the room.

In the next two days, Du Fuguo practiced his robotic arm every moment. From the right arm to the left arm at the beginning, he could barely control the movement of his fingers, but later he could grasp smoothly. His progress was so great that even Chen Li was amazed.

If he continues at this pace, it will probably not take three months, but only one month, and he will be able to perform most of the refined operations.

After the last EGG data debugging was completed, Zhu Xuan was sure that the intelligent system of the robotic arm had been debugged to the optimal level, so he disconnected the connection with confidence, packed up the excess equipment, and prepared to leave Chuncheng and return to Yuhang.

Before leaving, Du Fuguo shook hands with the three of them respectively. Zhu Xuan grinned in pain and said:

"Brother Du! Brother Du! Please use less strength! This robotic arm is designed in accordance with military standards, and the grip strength is no joke!"

Hearing this, Du Fuguo quickly let go of his hand in embarrassment, and then said:

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little too excited at the moment - how do you say this? This is my first handshake? Comrade Xiaoya, did I hurt you when I shook hands just now?"

"No, no, you were still very weak when you got here."

Du Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief and then continued:

"Dr. Chu, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Zhu, after spending a few days with you, we have been talking about robotic arms. I have a lot to say in my heart, but I have never found a chance to tell you."

"You are leaving today. I want to take this opportunity to tell you what I want to say."

"Of course, we will definitely meet again in the future, but some things should be said sooner rather than later, right?"

After hearing the responses from Chen Li and the others, he continued:

"Three doctors, first of all, I really thank you very much!"

"Thank you for making such a magical thing, so that in my lifetime, I can actually peel a banana for Youyou with my own hands - although it is said that the peeling is very ugly."

“But it really brought back a little bit of the feeling I had before.”

"When I was in the army, although I was just a soldier, you know, I have always held myself to the standards of a leader."

"I rush to do all the dirty and hard work, let alone the dangerous things."

"It's not because I want to take credit, it's mainly because, how should I put it, according to what our family says, hey, I'm just a bad person."

"I can't bear to see others suffer, especially when those people are still my best comrades."

"So when I was in Laoshan, whenever there was danger, I would rush in. Even the squad leader wouldn't let him do it."

"I still remember one time, we found a booby trap, which was very dangerous. My comrade asked the squad leader to come and deal with it. I asked him to call someone, and then I quietly cleared the booby trap myself."

"Do you know what I was thinking at the time? What I was thinking was, hey, the squad leader's skills are not as good as mine, so it's your turn to take care of me?"

"Really, I didn't think about anything like 'Leave the danger to me' or anything like that. What I thought was, we are all going through thunder anyway, and there are dangers anyway, so why can't I be the one to go there?"

"That's what I think. It's simple."

"So, before I had an accident, I had always been taking care of others. Because of this, after the accident, I couldn't accept being taken care of by others for a long time."

"I wanted to wash my face, dress myself, and fold my quilt by myself. But it was really difficult. It took me two years to completely learn to do these things."

"I even feel desperate sometimes, thinking that my limit in this life may be like this, because many times, physical defects are really difficult to break through."

"But your robotic arm allowed me to take a big step forward in three days."

"Actually, I not only peeled bananas for Youyou yesterday. At noon today, I went to the store and bought instant noodles in a bucket. I took them home, boiled water myself, and made a bowl of noodles for Youyou."

"Can you imagine? Before these three days, I really couldn't imagine! I couldn't even tear open the seasoning packet of instant noodles. There was something wrong with the design of that thing!"

"But now I can."

“I can take care of other people again.”

"So, I really want to thank you, scientific researchers, for bringing such a big change to me and our people's lives."

As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, then leaned on his feet and stood up straight.

His left hand was close to his body, and the five fingers of his right mechanical arm were close together. Then, as if he had practiced it countless times, he suddenly raised his hand and saluted Chen Li and the others with a standard military salute.

He raised his head high and shouted:

"Staff Sergeant Du Fuguo, salute you!"
