Chapter 459 Stay tuned - too many
A mechanical arm slammed into a brick wall, and then directly penetrated the brick wall.
Broken bricks and dust.
The attacking robotic arm relied on a piece of cylindrical metal at the rear and popped out half a meter away before slowly recovering it. It used this displacement and the hydraulic device to release the excess energy during the impact, trying not to act on the connected bodies, forming a distant Destructive power beyond the endurance of the human body.
Li Qing, who was wearing goggles, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he looked at the destruction caused by his punch, and then excitedly said to Jin Junliang next to him
"Hey brother, did you see, I turned into Superman!"
Although Jin Junliang accompanied Li Qing to complete the matching and watched him check a large number of things, he couldn't help but feel quite surprised when he saw the effect in front of him.
"Although it is not equipped with a firearm, this thing is more exaggerated than many weapons..."
At this time, the retraction sound of Li Qing's arm also stopped, indicating that the buffering of the previous blow had ended and he could try again.
Because Li Qing's prosthetic limb is an arm, the image is obviously different from Yang Feng's leg.
He has obviously undergone the most modifications, and even added a 'stamping' function, which caused his prosthetic limb to extend back from the shoulder position.
This makes the mechanical prosthetic limb, like the recoilless rifle, rely on the ejection of the structure behind itself to reduce the strength of the human body's support to avoid hurting itself.
So it looks a little weird, not as coordinated as the legs.
After all, the mechanical legs have to bear the weight and balance of the body, so adding more of these functions would be a bit useless.
"I want to chop off this hand too."
Li Qing kept stroking the mechanical arm with his good hand, his face full of excitement.
The gloomy mood of having a broken arm was gone.
After he finished, he looked at Jin Junliangdao with a smile
"But you should have already made your choice. Tell me, no matter what you do, I will support you..."
……
As Umbrella's prosthetic volunteers began to slowly replace them one by one.
Many people have also posted videos of themselves regaining their lives on social media.
The excitement of regaining what was lost, and the crying and crying with all kinds of true feelings really made many people feel a little emotional.
Only when you lose can you learn to cherish.
In China alone, two to three million people have amputations every year, which is definitely not a small number.
Infections, car accidents, machinery accidents, diabetes, and more can cause this condition.
A normal person cannot understand the feelings of a disabled person.
And they are usually a vulnerable group that is easily overlooked.
This time Umbrella's prosthetic limbs have indeed given these selected volunteers a new lease of life!
In fact, for most people, choosing ordinary functions is more than enough.
This is not just a matter of money. For example, Li Qing's arm needs an extra piece on the shoulder, which is not so convenient on weekdays.
Most people still choose the normal specifications, which at most are soft bonuses in terms of material, power, and battery life.
However, some people like Li Qing and Yang Feng who are young and like excitement still choose various modifications.
Many of these modifications were also videoed for sharing.
Electric drill, screwdriver, wrench, multifunctional military shovel.
All kinds of weird combinations have appeared.
Many people who saw it were dumbfounded.
The talk of destroying one's own arms began to surface again.
Although it was mostly a joke, it was enough to see the impact of Umbrella's new technology this time.
And not only in the field of private videos, various scientific research institutions have also repeatedly started research on the papers published by Umbrella.
There are also many organizations that invite Umbrella volunteers who have completed the installation to conduct some tests.
Various complimentary remarks appeared on various platforms.
"It's unbelievable. Our team has actually been conducting relevant tests, but our use of invasive interfaces to cooperate with monkeys is still in the preliminary stage. Umbrella has directly produced the finished product, and directly swept our results into the trash. Although I feel a little sorry for the investors, but I still sincerely thank Umbrella for this innovation, which represents unlimited possibilities..."
A Nobel laureate also expressed his admiration
“When I first saw Umbrella’s papers, I had reservations, even if there were so many miracles before them. But after seeing the final product, I knew that I was just looking at the sky. Although Nobel Prizes are usually delayed. Post-sex, but Umbrella has not won a Nobel Prize in the past few years. This should not be the case.”
Later, a neuroclinical expert also expressed corresponding praise
"I have seen too many patients with total paralysis. Umbrella's prosthetic limbs this time are not just for ordinary disabled people, because their initial brain-computer linkage, combined with exoskeletons, can make high-level paraplegics The patient begins to move again."
The expert's words caused a lot of exclamations.
If people with broken arms and legs can usually manage to take care of themselves, then patients with high paraplegia or hemiplegia really need someone to take care of them.
It can often bring down a family.
However, once Umbrella's brain-computer interface can be perfected to this extent, it will really be possible!
There are also cardiovascular and cerebrovascular experts who have put forward a hypothesis.
Cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage are now prone to hemiplegia and many other serious conditions.
Although the problem also occurs in the brain, it is more like a blockage of nerve signals, and many people are still conscious.
In other words, if the brain-computer chip can complete the collection and transmission of signals, can alternative surgeries be used to help these patients regain mobility?
Extended discussions in related areas are also becoming more and more intense.
And this time, no matter whether it was Dameili or the European Union, there was no chance of any obstruction, and everyone passed the review quickly.
The influence this time is too great, and because Umbrella has relied on Australia and Neon to restart TT's influence on public opinion, if it is really stopped, the disabled people and their families in the country will definitely rebel.
This is completely different from the previous medical devices and drugs!
Amid these thousands of calls and expectations, Umbrella also began to issue its own statement
“The test of the first batch of volunteers was very successful. Because there was no external trauma, it should have been able to pass some audits and certifications.
"Please rest assured, at least for the basic model of the ordinary aluminum alloy version, our production capacity is still sufficient. However, the price of the enhanced version that needs to be strengthened in the future may be a bit expensive, and certain adjustments will be made according to local laws and regulations."< br>
Umbrella's voice excited many patients who were looking forward to it.
At the same time, many people asked
"Can a muzzle be installed on the beautiful model?"
"Just don't do it automatically, right?"
"Looking forward~"
"..."
In response to this, Umbrella did give a certain reply
"As long as local laws allow it, there is no technical problem. In addition, we are also considering exoskeleton prostheses for paraplegic patients. However, the problems involved in paraplegic patients are not only mobility, but also incontinence, failure of body organs, etc. Thinking about it, if we want to perfect it, we need to strengthen it with some supporting artificial organs, so stay tuned..."
Chapter 575
Umbrella's speech undoubtedly gave many paraplegics and their families a glimmer of hope.
If another company said this, it might be a smoke bomb.
But Umbrella is different. This is a company that creates miracles!
In particular, the power of front prosthetics has been demonstrated through volunteers.
Umbrella's artificial hearts and artificial kidneys have been widely used in the past. After years of precipitation, it can now be said that they have been abused.
Some healthy patients also undergo implantation for various reasons.
The same is true now with the advent of prosthetics.
Although most people say that cutting off one's hands is a joke, for some people it is not necessarily a joke!
Especially for some people in the West, it is their nature to seek novelties and seek death.
Now that there is such a good thing, it will naturally be ready to take action.
If this technology were not still completely in the hands of Umbrella, when some private modifications that disregard the safety of patients appear in the future, even more exaggerated effects may appear!
After all, brain-computer connection is very difficult, but the threshold for simple mechanical transformation is much lower. As long as Umbrella is connected to the main body and then completes many changes in private, many people will try it.
Even ordinary civilian drones can deliver bombs with slight modifications, as well as various modified vehicles. Umbrella prosthetics are already a good platform. It can be seen as inevitable that some underground black markets will appear in the future with specific modifications and extended industrial chains. .
Take Rabbit's ban on modifying vehicles as an example. Many people will wonder why it is so strict. Why can't I modify my own car?
But in fact, if you have seen the cars with the rabbit folk magic style in the past, you will understand that there is a specific reason behind each rule.
It can only be said that the modified cars of Third Brother and Africa are all leftover from rabbit play...
Now not only prosthetics, but also some external modifications of robots have begun to appear.
The concept of custom case card slots and even silicone cases has emerged.
You must know that the 'Cleaner' robot can only be regarded as a new product that has just appeared, and now this kind of modification business has begun to appear.
It can be seen that the outside world is enthusiastic about this!
Intelligent robot technology is difficult, control technology is difficult, brain-computer technology is difficult, and prosthetics are also difficult.
However, the threshold for simple mechanical transformation is relatively low, and many mechanical experts can even complete it manually.
In the eyes of many people who have sensed opportunities, this may even be a very hot field in the future.
Because Umbrella doesn't seem to care about the products they sell being modified, they just provide this platform...
……
"The brain-computer connection is really amazing. Umbrella has always made the impossible possible..."
An engineer from a certain song said with emotion while debugging the quantum computer in front.
According to some algorithm blessings from Master Yi, they have now initially completed the linkage between quantum computers and supercomputers!
Moreover, a certain song also purchased a batch of 2nm chips from NVIDIA. Well, NVIDIA asked Umbrella to manufacture them. At present, other wafer factories cannot meet this process.
This batch of 2nm chip architecture is specially used to build this new type of connected computer.
Coupled with Master Yi's original artificial intelligence algorithm, they managed to create a practical artificial intelligence.
There is still a gap behind the Red Queen, but they are confident that they will slowly catch up after feeding enough data!
"It's almost time to connect our 'Don Quixote' to the Internet."
"Yes, Umbrella's artificial intelligence is strong, but we will have to face this challenge sooner or later. Artificial intelligence that cannot access the network will never be able to grow."
Looking at the huge special computer that was constantly blowing air in front of them, these engineers from a certain song also showed expressions of emotion.
They have tried their best, and this 'Don Quixote' is the child they worked hard to create.
No matter how strong the 'Red Queen' is, they will launch their own attack!
However, whether to access the network and when to access the network also depends on the wishes of the senior management. They can only do their own work...
……
In an electronics foundry, the assembly line that was supposed to be filled with factory brothers and sisters was now replaced by a row of 'Cleaner' A-type robots.
Each robot completes the job it is doing with extreme skill and precision.
At this time, many original employees were standing silently watching these robots.
Some people had a look of unwillingness in their eyes, and some had tears in their eyes.
The figures who looked like team leaders stood arrogantly in front of the group of employees and kept saying
"You all open your eyes and see clearly, this is the future!"
"A robot is twice as efficient as yours, and as long as it can be charged 24 hours a day, even if you work two shifts of 12 hours a day, one robot can replace four people. The price of the robot is 700,000, simply The warranty period is three years, what do you think you are worth now?”
These employees heard the almost sarcastic words of the team leaders, but they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.
At present, robot production lines are still just pilot projects.
But the efficiency is already extremely surprising.
The wave of layoffs in the future is completely foreseeable!
It just depends on Umbrella’s production capacity!
And the main purpose of starting this kind of demonstration now, before full replacement, is to make them bow their heads in order to keep their jobs and compromise on lowering their salary and benefit requirements.
This makes many workers feel a little sad.
Where will the future go?
The labor intensity of the underworld in the electronics factory would not lead to this place if there were other possibilities.
But now it is obvious that their positions will be replaced by robots sooner or later...
……
In Kangaroo Country, a newly opened cafe was almost full of guests and friends.
It is relatively rare for an originally peaceful coffee shop to create such an atmosphere.
What’s different from other coffee shops is that in this coffee shop, from the chef to the cashier to the waiters, they are all robots.
The ultra-high efficiency of the linkage gave the scene a unique atmosphere.
Yang Feng, who had changed into a mechanical prosthesis, came to the store. Seeing the booming business here, he also said to Chen Dazui with some emotion
"Big Mouth, it seems that the return on your investment this time will be quite high. Maybe you can try a chain."
"Haha, that's exactly what I meant, and I found some guys with strong manual skills to think about adding some unique shapes to the robot to distinguish it from others."
Chen Dazui laughed. He was the first to try it, but it was easy to imitate. He still had to find his own characteristics.
Maybe in the future we can link up with some IPs to create some themed cafes.
"How's it going at your dad's factory?"
"The effect is quite good. It's a bit unexpected. My old man even praised me. Hehe, I feel proud at last."
Chen Dazui smiled proudly at first, but then he said hesitantly
"However, I feel that overcapacity will be unstoppable in the future, and it will be quite troublesome."
They all come from well-off families, and they have been exposed to different things since childhood.
In the future, if robots completely replace labor, production capacity will undoubtedly increase dramatically.
The unemployment wave it brings will make the economy depressed, and fewer people can consume. It feels like a cycle that is difficult to break.
There must be a channel for wealth to flow back.
"This is nothing we need to worry about..."
But at this moment, one of them suddenly said something strange
"Umbrella is recruiting a large number of human function testers. Although the cost is not high, the work is very easy, and..., initially recruiting 100 million people around the world?"
100 million people? Upon hearing this, several people who had been chatting about this aspect quickly looked over.
Umbrella is recruiting part-time volunteers from around the world for more brain-computer data testing.
Kind of like a drug tester, but different in that you don't have to take any drugs at all.
The registration requirements only require you to have a holographic bracelet, download a specific app to monitor human body movement, and then go to the designated area of Umbrella to draw a drop of blood every month.
Although the pay is not high, the advantage is that it is simple. Almost anyone can do part-time work...
Chapter 576: Too Many
The human function testers recruited by Umbrella quickly attracted the attention of many places.
In fact, drug testing occurs all over the world.
For example, the more famous Hengsan is very relaxed in this regard.
In addition, there are some African regions.
But in fact, there are also relevant tests in places like Dameili and Rabbit, but the management is more strict. The drugs that can be tested have passed the previous phases of testing, and the harm to the human body is likely to be controllable.
Theoretically, even drug testing can be applied for. Umbrella's test, which has almost no trauma or side effects except drawing a drop of blood, should be easily approved.
But the number of people involved is so large that there will be some concerns everywhere.
Although the reasons are very good, and Umbrella has indeed launched related products, we must be cautious where we need to be cautious.
After all, this company has extremely powerful biological capabilities and even military capabilities!
However, in the follow-up, Umbrella still used the blood detection technology used in the previous prosthetic limb test to provide additional explanations.
The instrument structure of the test has been submitted, indicating that we want to improve some technical reserves through big data.
Relevant data from each country can be shared with its own country.
In fact, many people have always said that traditional Chinese medicine is an empirical science.
But in fact, even in modern medicine, many conclusions and research are summarized through experience, and a whole is judged through a large number of individual cases.
Many people don’t know why this happens, but it should happen.
I know it, but I don’t know why.
Understanding the principles of analysis is also an opportunity for many important discoveries and results.
For biology and medicine, Umbrella's move is indeed quite tenable.
The number of people can be said to be Umbrella's biggest shortcoming.
Even though they acquired a large number of medical institutions in Mexico and Kangaroo to collect data, it still seems that it is not enough.
It is expected that there will definitely be no problem with Neon in the future, but other places will encounter various resistances.
Da Meili, who has been busy with disaster relief in New York and selecting speakers, once again spoke out against Umbrella's announcement
"We commend Umbrella for designing prosthetics for disabled people, but we need to carefully consider the number of subsequent testers, which involves personal health privacy and the safety of human genes."
The words are actually quite high-sounding.
Uh..., even directly revealed the truth.
But from an ordinary person’s perspective, this still seems like a bit of a fuss!
There were even some small protests in many places across the country.
Although Umbrella only gives testers a subsidy of about US$150 per month.
But this subsidy is almost free.
As long as you have a holographic bracelet that records your daily situation, and then draw a drop of blood from Umbrella's sampling machine every month, that's all.
It’s given every month, and it’s free, which is a good benefit.
Take Da Meili as an example. The per capita income is much higher than that of Rabbit, about 3,000 to 4,000 U.S. dollars, but even this kind of income does not ignore the benefits of picking up 150 U.S. dollars every month.
Many people even directly regard this as a bonus that comes with the holographic bracelet.
And drawing a drop of blood is equivalent to a free physical examination.
Although Umbrella said that this is still in the testing process, it is just a reference value, and you still need to follow medical advice for specific situations.
But many prosthetics people confirmed during the live broadcast that the accuracy of this physical examination is very high!
If you have money, you can get free medical examinations, which is naturally a pretty good 'welfare'.
This is also one of Umbrella's methods to prepare to break through the barrier.
If the blood test is to be rolled out immediately, it will definitely be very difficult.
But using money to clear the way first will naturally remove some of the resistance.
By then, 100 million people have tried it, and everything that needs to be collected has been collected. When comprehensive medical examination facilities are rolled out later, resistance will be reduced.
Just like cutting a sausage, take your time, piece by piece!
But the expenses are indeed spent in real money. 100 million people, 150 US dollars per month, this is a monthly expenditure of 15 billion US dollars!
That’s $180 billion in spending every year!
The beautiful military expenditure is less than 700 billion US dollars.
US$40 billion can be used to acquire a certain company. You can imagine how much of an expense this is.
Except for Umbrella, it can be said that even a top power would find it difficult to squeeze out this funding.
Because a big country has a lot of income, but it also has a lot to consider.
The government’s revenue in a beautiful year is only US$3 trillion!
Similarly, even the per capita income of a place like Dameili will find the price very good, which will naturally make it more attractive to other places.
……
On the top floor of the New World Building, with Jin Guangyao standing respectfully beside him, Wang Yi looked down at the bustling Seoul outside through the single-sided glass wall, and raised his glass to the front
"Speaking of which, I am still learning from the South Korea chaebol. As long as I roll up, the problem is indeed easy to solve."
Lin Shiqin's voice also appeared in Wang Yi's ear and said with a smile
"Money can solve most problems. If you find it difficult, it's just because you don't have enough money..."
With US$15 billion a month and nearly US$200 billion a year, there are not many things that cannot be settled...

Update completed~
It has been modified many times, so I deleted it all and reposted it. The modification location is probably where Dongfang promised to do it. Just try to figure out why you agreed...
Nowadays, Yang is everywhere. I am really trembling in the hospital. Please let me go.
