Great Power Technology

Yuhang.

After more than half a year of adapting and learning, Yang Yiyao has become completely accustomed to living with the AVS system, and gradually, she has begun to add more data to the AVS signal transmission. Now what she can see is no longer pure black and white. It's a world with simplified colors.

Of course, there is still a way to go to completely restore a real world, both for her and Chen Li's AVS team. Fortunately, judging from the current progress, this road Not too long.

In addition to Yang Yiyao, the experimental population of the AVS system has been expanded to 30 people, six of whom are from urban villages near Yang Yiyao's home. These people are generally blind due to acquired accidents. After hearing that Yaoyao regained sight with the help of mechanical equipment After the light, they were secretly looking forward to the day when they could use the equipment.

So, Chen Li gave them this opportunity - on the one hand, it was to expand the experimental samples of the equipment, and on the other hand, it was also a request from Yaoyao.

After the success of the AVS project, his superiors gave Chen Li a large amount of special funds to reward relevant personnel who had made significant contributions to the project. After internal discussions, the project team allocated a considerable portion of the funds to Yaoyao, but after the notice was released At that time, the other party unexpectedly refused.

She didn't want money - or rather, she didn't think she needed that much money.

She wanted those uncles and aunts who taught her how to adapt to that dark world to see the light like she did.

Her brother Yang Yijin naturally supports this. Compared to Yang Yiyao, his idea is simpler:

He can earn money through his own efforts, but the chance to regain his sight may be only this one for these neighbors and friends who have helped them.

When will the price of AVS equipment drop to a level they can afford?

No one can tell clearly.

Therefore, for this scary high-spirited young man, he really didn't care that much about the large amount of money Chen Li gave to Yaoyao.

As a result, the money was converted into equipment costs by the AVS project team, and 6 additional sets of equipment were customized, respectively adapted to the 6 blind people designated by Yaoyao.

Of course, Chen Li did not forget to force the purchaser to argue with the equipment supplier, and he cut off part of the price from the already extremely low price, and saved 100,000 yuan in the project team's public account. , planning to leave it to Yaoyao when she goes to college in the future.

Yaoyao doesn't know this. If she knew, she would probably ask for the money to be exchanged for equipment - there are too many people she wants to help, and the process of filtering the list is actually very painful.

However, she is happy at the moment. During this holiday, she is busy every day introducing how to use and teaching experience to her friends who have just used AVS equipment. In front of him, other adults who have lived for decades It was as if she had become a student again, and she herself had become an all-knowing teacher.

"Okay, that's all for today."

"You should study hard when you go back. Don't be afraid of what you see. Some things are fake."

"When I first started learning colors, I often saw monsters, but I wasn't afraid at all because I knew they were fake."

"Later on, I gradually lost sight of it - Uncle Chen told me that the human brain is very powerful. If you believe in some things, they will always exist. If you don't believe in them, they will soon disappear. ”

People around her nodded. In their eyes, Yaoyao may be a black and white flat girl image that seems to jump out of a comic book. Some may be more rich and three-dimensional, but some may only have a few simple strokes. line outline.

But this does not affect what they see in their hearts.

This little girl is probably one of the most tender memories they have ever encountered in their lives.

"I understand, Teacher Yang, I will definitely work hard when I go back."

One of them replied with a smile. For a moment, everyone was liberated from the slightly serious "teaching process" and began to joke and chat with this little girl who was like a daughter.

"Yao Yao, Children's Day is happening the day after tomorrow. Come to my house for dinner. I'll ask Aunt Xiao to cook whatever food you want."

Yaoyao hummed and replied with some embarrassment:

"I'm not going. The second uncle asked me to go to his house for dinner."

"That's okay! Your Aunt Xiao bought you a Children's Day gift and will deliver it to you tomorrow. Remember to ask your brother if there is any money at home today. If there is no money, remember to tell me, you know?"

The speaker's name is He Wu. He lost his sight due to a work-related accident seven years ago. Although he received part of the compensation, the conditions at home are actually not very good. Sometimes people who go to the street to buy meat have to worry about it. Most people in the residential areas knew about his stinginess.

But towards Yaoyao, he has always been full of pride - probably also a simple feeling of repaying kindness.

"We have money! I made five thousand yuan from my last interview, so don't worry about us!"

"Yao Yao is so amazing!"

"That's not true. You can support yourself at a young age, which is much better than what I did back then."

"Okay, okay, don't disturb Teacher Yang. Our mouths are dry after talking to us all morning. Go get some water quickly. I don't have any eyesight!"

The group of people was noisy, pouring water and buying ice cream. He Wu, who had recovered relatively well, saw that there were still vegetables in the refrigerator. His hands were itchy for a while, so he helped Yang Yijin cut and stack all the vegetables for the evening, and waited for everything to be arranged. When it was done, the floor in the room was swept again, and everyone dispersed one after another.

After she calmed down, Yaoyao sat back on the sofa and rested for a while, sipping the watermelon juice she had just bought while thinking about other issues in her mind.

Just the night before, Uncle Chen said that there is a new experiment that is about to be carried out, and he is the most suitable experimenter.

Uncle Chen didn't tell her to participate, nor did he tell her not to participate, but she could actually tell that Uncle Chen didn't want her to participate.

"Yao Yao, you have to think clearly. The danger of this project may be much greater than the danger of your AVS, because the data transmission volume is too large."

"It's like you're learning colors now. It's already very difficult, but if you want to participate in a new project, it's like you have to color what you see."

"Do you know what this means? You are learning to appreciate a painting now, and the new project is to teach you to paint."

This is what Uncle Chen said to her.

"But wouldn't it be great to learn to draw?"

"...It is very powerful, but it is also very difficult - and there are dangers. For example, if you sharpen a pencil, you will scratch your hand, for example, the paint is poisonous, for example, you may get injured while drawing. Saw a lot of scary hallucinations.”

"Aren't you afraid of fire? In the worst case scenario, maybe at the very beginning, everything you see will be on fire."

"I'm not afraid of fire anymore. I know which ones are real and which ones are fake. I can tell them clearly."

"Yao Yao, this is not a matter of distinction. Just like me, I also have things to be afraid of."

"For example, I am afraid of snakes. I know that some snakes are not poisonous and will not bite me, but I am just afraid."

"Okay, you must discuss this with your brother, and Aunt Liu. You should also ask her opinion. She is your guardian, do you understand?"

…

The watermelon juice in her hand had bottomed out. Yaoyao came back from her memories. She thought for a moment and suddenly took off the AVS device on her head. Then she stood up gropingly and tried to throw the garbage into the garbage in the dark. in the barrel.

This is not an easy task. In almost a year, she has become accustomed to the bright world. Now she has to rely on her memory to regain the feeling of blindness. For her, it is like starting from scratch.

Fear gripped her again. She stumbled around in the darkness, and finally lowered her body and crawled on the ground. Her head was bumped several times by the tables and chairs arranged in a circle, and finally she finally I touched the trash can in the kitchen.

When he touched it with his hands, he found that there was kitchen waste left behind by He Wu just chopping vegetables. It was sticky and disgusting.

But at this time, she didn't feel sick, she only felt sad.

Uncle Chen said that the technology tested in this new project can bring a lot of knowledge to people.

Just like those children who live in the mountains, they may never see high-rise buildings, planes, trains, or the sea...

They were imprisoned in that barren land, just like themselves before, imprisoned in darkness.

They... are probably also based on another concept, blind people?

However, if this technology is successful, everyone will see the same thing.

This new technology is their eyes, right?

Yaoyao crawled back to the sofa again. She carefully wiped her hands clean on her trouser legs. After hesitating for a moment, she rubbed her hands on the sofa a few more times. After confirming that there were no stains, she finally touched the AVS equipment aside with satisfaction. , put it back on his head.

As the embedded electrodes came into contact with the contacts of the AVS device, light returned to her world.

At this time, she had already made a decision in her heart.
