Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 670 I Fulfill My Promise

This step was much slower than expected.

Deaf-mute students are also divided into two categories. One is that the vocal organs have physiological problems, resulting in the inability to speak.

The other is some students who are congenitally deaf-mute. There is actually no problem with their vocal organs, but they cannot learn to speak because they cannot hear the sound.

These students, after relying on [Bafang] to hear the sound again, even though they could only make unclear sounds like "ahhh" at first, with the help of teachers and parents, they have regained their language ability.

The readjusted classes are all students with congenital vocal organ problems such as language center lesions, tongue tie abnormalities, and genetic factors, as well as students who have lost their language ability due to acquired accidents.

The improved [Bafang] can already solve this problem.

Last night, Lin You and the technical team of Journey Prosthetics Company have completed the test——During the experimental stage of the [Rehabilitator Program], Journeys Prosthetics Company has maintained a volunteer team of more than [-] people, and among these volunteers, more than [-]% are Speech Impaired.

They have already demonstrated the feasibility of the technology.

But company volunteers are not like these students.

They cooperate with the experiment every day and are very familiar with all the processes. They can say that they are handy during the test, and they don't need more guidance from the engineers.

These students are different. They are used to not being able to speak, and what they want to say, they often instinctively turn into "thinking" and "sign language".

"Speaking" is, on the contrary, a strange thing.

Although the teacher kept encouraging everyone, and each student opened their mouths nervously to say something, neither the vocal cords nor the headband could make a sound.

An eight-year-old boy was anxiously sign language to the teacher.

But the teacher reached out, grabbed his hands, and stopped him from sign language.

The little boy was even more anxious, but the teacher just held on to his hand.

In desperation, the little boy opened his mouth——

"Ah! Ah..."

At the same time, the head ring finally moved——

["Teacher! Let me talk!"]
Hearing the synthesized electronic sound, the boy immediately froze in place.

The students around him also looked at him.

This child has an acquired language barrier, and he could speak at first, but when he was 6 years old, he had a high fever convulsion, which made him accidentally lose his language ability.

Now that he suddenly made a sound, he was also very surprised.

The engineer of Journey Prosthetics hurriedly stepped forward to encourage him: "It's amazing! It's the feeling just now, it's very simple, right? Try again, as long as you succeed once and find the feeling, the rest is very simple!"

"Tell us, what's your name?"

"Ah-" just made a sound, the little boy stopped again.

After thinking for a while, his mouth moved again, this time he didn't make a sound, but the headband made a sound: ["My name is Qiu Rongjie."]
"Very good, really amazing!" The staff praised.

The teacher said without losing the opportunity: "That's great, is Qiu Rongjie willing to help the students?"

Kid Qiu Rongjie paused for 2 seconds, and the headband made another sound: "OK!"

——He is still adapting, and as he gets familiar with the "external vocal organs", this "preparatory action" before vocalization will become shorter and shorter until it disappears completely.

Qiu Rongjie, who has personal experience, described his feelings and introduced tips to the students.The progress of the students was much faster, and soon three children successfully replaced the vocal cords with the head rings, and completed the action of "speaking".

Then they spontaneously started to help other students.

Habits will not be reversed so quickly. While using headbands instead of mouths to speak as a demonstration, they quickly compared sign language to introduce their experience to the students.

——Compared to speaking a word, you need to prepare first. For them now, the communication efficiency of sign language is much higher.

All of a sudden, more and more electronically synthesized sounds, impatient "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss Some are noisy.

But no one would be disgusted by the noise at the moment, on the contrary, they were all sincerely moved.

The sound of the live broadcast was lowered, and Lin You's voice came in again:

"To explain to everyone, this is not the final product effect."

"Because of the rush of time, what everyone sees is still the prototype."

"When the final product is released, there will be a more complete software boot program, highly realistic and rich types of sound rays, and the sound generator can be disassembled and replaced... etc. Optimization will keep up."

Lin You paused for a moment, and watched the live broadcast with everyone for a while, seeing that all the students had successfully used the [Bafang] headband to complete their vocalizations, and they were enthusiastically using this new method to communicate with each other, interspersed with a few quick sentences Dazzling sign language.

The live broadcast officially ends here.

Lin You clapped his hands lightly to let everyone's attention return to him.

"Just yesterday, I got the good news that [the Rehabilitation Program] is officially a success."

"In the evening, we made a prototype and verified it was feasible."

"Just now, everyone saw it: this technology works well in the external environment."

"At this point, I can announce that the technical difficulties of language barriers will no longer exist from today on."

“Not only is this the last piece of the puzzle in the [Bafang] line of products, it’s also the last missing piece of technology for Journey Prosthetics.”

"at last……"

Lin You paused for a moment, couldn't help recalling that day 5 months ago, and finally said proudly to everyone:
"Finally, the brain-controlled prosthetics I promised to make on the first day of the release of the virtual reality technology, as of today, can finally come to an end."

"I can say without shame—"

"I have fulfilled my promise to the letter."

As soon as Lin You finished speaking, the audience applauded thunderously!

Standing in the crowd, Yang Qingfeng applauded vigorously and was almost moved to tears.

He has personally experienced the loss of labor due to blindness. Not only can he no longer support himself, but he has become a drag on his family and completely lost hope in life.

Because of this, he knew better: what Lin You did was not an ordinary technological breakthrough, nor was it as simple as the company launching a new product.

This is something that completely changes the fate of a group of people.

No, not a group of people.

Reminiscent of the great subsidies that Daxia has provided in this area in recent months, Yang Qingfeng even feels that this is something that will change the fate of the disabled in the entire country.

The country has added tens of millions of laborers, and tens of millions of families have regained the hope of a better life.

Compared to these, the cost spent on subsidies is simply insignificant!

In the future, if someone writes a biography for Lin You, then [Brain-Controlled Prosthetic Limb] may even be more colorful than [Virtual Reality Technology]!
The applause lasted for a long time, and Lin You repeatedly signaled everyone to stop, and finally let the voice down a little, and he could continue talking:
"I am not the key to this technological breakthrough."

"This is not modesty. I did provide the basic technology and R&D ideas, but the specific practical work will be done by others."

"Let me introduce to you: the person in charge of Journey Prosthetics, and the technical team under his leadership!"

Kong Xinsheng took the company's technical team to the stage together, and the stage was packed to the brim.

Lin Youzhen introduced all the people here and their efforts in this work one by one.

After this session was over, another video introduced and thanked hundreds of volunteers who participated in the experiment.

After that, Lin You concluded: "The above people, including me, have made their own contributions to the birth of this technology."

"But the real key to technological breakthroughs is not us."

His words immediately shocked everyone present.

"The technological breakthrough was completed yesterday, and today I am in a hurry to launch a press conference. Some people may think that I am so overjoyed and can't wait to show off my achievements."

"But no, the real reason is: I can't wait to share the joy with the biggest contributors to technological breakthroughs."

"That's right, it's you." Lin You nodded seriously to the live broadcast camera.

"— 3000 million participants in [The Rehabilitation Program]!"
