Great Power Technology
Chapter 437 Let them live
That night, Yaoyao returned home with a portable AVS device. This was the first time in two years that she saw the world again. Everything she was familiar with seemed to have changed.
For example, she found that she had unknowingly grown much taller than the chair. No wonder it was getting easier and easier for her to climb up the chair. She found that the display of her mobile phone had been broken long ago, and she could only touch the chair. The functions can still be used normally - no wonder my brother has to listen to the voice prompts to operate every time he helps him find cartoons; also, the sister named Chu Ya cannot be called aunt, and Uncle Ye and Uncle Chen are not like each other. Her concept of "uncle" is so old.
Everything was new to her. After the initial panic, her childish nature took over again. On the way back, she kept trying to get closer to the car window to see the world outside with the lights on, and the lights above her. The helmet banged against the glass.
Yang Yijin was protecting the lens on her head, fearing that she would accidentally break the hard-won "eye". One of them twisted around, and the other tried to stop them until they returned to the urban village in Chengbei District. Here, Yaoyao finally calmed down.
After a day of hard work, she was actually already tired, but she just couldn't bear to let go of the world in front of her, so she managed not to fall asleep.
Everyone in the neighborhood screamed when they saw Yaoyao coming back. Especially after confirming that she could really see her, everyone was as excited as if they had witnessed a miracle.
People without eyes see the world again.
At this moment, for the first time, humans have realized their desire for eyes and vision that has taken root since ancient times.
Among the many neighbors, the most excited one was the second uncle who bought Yaoyao snacks and gave her bacon. He played the game of guessing numbers with Yaoyao again and again by putting his fingers in front of his eyes. Zhoudu began to feel bored, but Yaoyao still answered his questions tirelessly.
In the end, the second uncle was laughing so hard that he burst into tears. No one knew what kind of emotion this laughter came from.
Natural compassion for a helpless child? The shock of witnessing the reversal of fate with your own eyes? Or is it a surprise that the incredible power of technology is happening around you?
Probably all, but the most important thing is that this little one who he has taken care of for two years, secretly and overtly, finally has a world of her own.
When Yaoyao thanked him and turned around to leave his house, he subconsciously stood up and followed her, but suddenly he sat down again feeling lost.
——
Damn it, I no longer need to take care of her in this way in the future.
But unexpectedly, Yaoyao stopped within two steps of walking out, then turned to look at him and asked:
"Second uncle, why don't you follow me? My brother is treating everyone to dinner today!"
The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and it was only then that he realized for the first time that Yaoyao had always known that he was following her.
That's right. After losing her vision, her hearing was more developed. How could she not hear her own shuffling footsteps?
He stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes and said:
"Okay, okay! Second uncle, go cut some meat. You and your brother are waiting for me at home!"
The dinner on this day was naturally arranged by Ye Zhou - or more appropriately, it was arranged by Wu Ping. Among the neighbors who were close to the Yaoyao brothers and sisters, they were all invited to the banquet. Due to the location of the two brothers and sisters' homes, It was too young, so we finally booked two tables at a nearby restaurant to celebrate the 7-year-old girl's new life.
Children are naturally not allowed to drink, but Aunt Liu and the second uncle, who are the guardians of the community, took it upon themselves to propose a toast to Ye Zhou and his party on behalf of Yang Yijin. Ye Zhou only tasted it every time, and they were not surprised.
"Teacher Ye, I'm a bit disrespectful as an old man today. Don't take it off. I'm really happy!"
"I watched Yaoyao grow up. I held her when she was just born. At that time, they still lived in the building on the patio. Her father lived outside all year round, and it was inconvenient for her mother to carry her up and down the stairs alone. , I will help you whenever I see you.”
"Ask Director Liu, how cute Yaoyao was when she was a child. There is no one in our area who doesn't like her!"
"When she was less than one year old, Yaoyao could walk. She was wearing crotchless pants and bouncing around in the alley. People driving by had to stop and tease her before they left!"
"I didn't expect that it was a fire."
"How come it's such a coincidence? It's not easy for the whole family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
"Master He, stop talking about this!"
Aunt Liu on the side quickly patted the second uncle's arm. He was stunned for a moment and immediately stopped talking.
"Yes, yes. You see, I am also an old fool. I talk too much after two glasses of wine. By the way, Teacher Ye, how long can this helmet of yours last? Is it rechargeable?"
"You have to ask Teacher Chen about this."
Ye Zhou smiled and pointed at Chen Li, who quickly replied:
"It is rechargeable. It can be used for more than 40 hours on a single charge. However, it is best to make a habit of charging it once a day to avoid the trouble of suddenly running out of power the next day."
"It's so convenient. It's more convenient than my mobile phone. The battery of my mobile phone has been exhausted in half a day. Do you think it's irritating or not?"
"Then it's time to change the battery of your mobile phone - hey, it's still from Apple. Second uncle, please change it to a domestic one. Nowadays, domestic mobile phones have a longer battery life."
Ye Zhou glanced at the second uncle's cell phone and said with a hint of ridicule.
"No! My daughter bought this phone for me. It's so hard to use! I'll replace it in two days. By the way, Teacher Ye, can this helmet be used by Yaoyao alone, or can it be used by blind people? use?"
"This technology can be used by everyone, but currently, the helmet on Yaoyao's head can only be used by herself. It is like custom-made prosthetics. Everyone's size and strength are different, and they cannot be shared."
"That's the truth!"
The second uncle took a sip of the wine in his glass, then sighed and said:
"Science is developing so fast now. You said that when I was young, who would have thought that I would have this kind of technology? I can still see without my eyes. It's just like a magical spell!"
"I have dealt with a lot of blind people in my life, including the boy from the village when he was a child, Lao Hetou who was blinded by molten iron at work, and my grandson, Director Liu, who had an eye disease two years ago. Just in our area, There are quite a few blind people, right?"
Aunt Liu on the side nodded and replied:
"That's quite a lot. There are more than 2,000 people in our residential area, and there must be more than 60 blind people, as well as some who are partially sighted and semi-disabled. All together, there are less than a hundred people."
Hearing this, both Ye Zhou and Chen Li had a look of surprise on their faces.
How come there are so many?
Calculated in proportion, the number of blind and severely visually impaired people in China is about 1% to 2%, but now it seems that the proportion of this type of disabled people in this area has almost reached 5%.
Ye Zhou opened his mouth to ask a question, but suddenly swallowed back the words that rushed to his lips because he suddenly realized the reason for the imbalance.
The location where they are now is in the north of the city, which is called the "slum area" of Yuhang by outsiders.
The vast majority of people living in this urban village are those at the bottom who live in poverty and have no fixed source of income. In fact, the composition of these low-class people and the disabled people is highly overlapping.
Poverty due to illness and illness due to poverty are an endless cycle that no country has broken for thousands of years. China still has a long way to go to break it.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou sighed softly, and then asked:
"Director Liu, are these people's lives guaranteed?"
Aunt Liu opposite was obviously hesitant. She didn't know Ye Zhou's identity, so she didn't know how to express herself in front of him.
Ye Zhou saw her dilemma, so he said bluntly:
"Don't worry, just tell the truth today. If anyone comes to trouble you later, I will lay him off immediately."
Aunt Liu glanced at Ye Zhou, then at the two guards standing at the door. After a moment of pause, she finally said:
"Teacher Ye, since you said so, I won't hide it from you."
"To be honest, there is nothing to hide - everyone can see it. Yuhang is one of the richest places in China."
"You said whether their lives are guaranteed, then they certainly are. But to what extent is it guaranteed?"
"This is something that can't be helped. If the country wants to develop and society needs to progress, there are more places to spend money."
"We have a massage parlor for the blind and a coffee shop for the blind, but to be honest, the effect is not very good."
"Their life is very hard. During the holidays, we rely on our neighborhood committee to hand out some meat, rice, flour and oil so that they can eat dumplings."
"This year, only six months have passed, and four people have left our area. They are all harmful. Let's not talk about this."
Hearing this, Ye Zhou finally felt the pain of these disabled people, especially the blind. For them, their most important connection with the world has been cut off. They have no job, no source of income, just Just "living" is already in an extremely fragile balance, and once this balance is broken again, isn't the only choice left to them the most extreme path?
He suddenly understood why China in that timeline in the simulator would promote the development of AES technology in such a radical and incomprehensible way to him, because this technology definitely brought more than what he had always known. What I think is a cold "5% to 10% productivity increase" is actually a "way to survive" in front of these people.
A way to survive in the literal sense, a way for people to survive.
Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief. At this moment, the haze that the ending had cast on his heart completely dissipated.
You know, after watching the ending, he once doubted whether the Chinese officials in that timeline had undergone some changes that he didn't want to see, and whether they had been defeated by the torrent of capital. Whether this change happened in that timeline, it might also happen in my own timeline.
But now he understood that was not the case.
Those people's original intentions are still there, but they have taken too big a step forward in some technologies.
Thinking of this, he raised his wine glass with relief and said to Aunt Liu in front of him:
"Director Liu, don't worry, we will solve this problem sooner or later."
"Give us a little more time."
"Not only this technology, but also a wider field, everyone is working hard."
"One day we will make the invisible people see, the deaf people hear, the people without legs stand up, and the people who cannot live can live."
