Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 352: 8000 million US dollars, a chance to regain a new life!

On a crisp and cool winter day, the sun shines through the bright glass windows into the room, and a large swath of warm orange light spreads instantly.

Chen Heyu picked up a towel and wiped his wet hair.

Then, he turned on the computer habitually.

"Boss, the research data on polymer materials has been sent to your email, please check it."

The first message that popped up was a message from Liang Kaiji, a genius in materials science.

So fast?
He remembered clearly that the other party sent him a piece of memory metal information last time, which shocked him.

Although it is not mature enough, it still has a wide range of application scenarios in the medical, automotive and aerospace fields.

On the "Dijiang 1" rocket, some core components use a large amount of this memory metal, and it is recognized by HNSA. The space agency can make a lot of money from the purchase order alone.

Chen Heyu did not hesitate and approved a personal bonus of 1000 million for Liang Kaiji, and also signed a dividend agreement. The other party can draw 1% from the net sales profit of memory metal as a year-end commission every year.

Then he told him to take the time to study which polymer materials have better biocompatibility.

Because of Professor Strong's invasive brain-computer interface technology, he encountered difficulties in the selection of electrode materials.

Electrode materials with high conductivity have poor biocompatibility, and electrode materials with good biocompatibility have low conductivity.

Considering that invasive brain-computer interfaces require surgical implantation of electrode arrays into the brain, the risks are extremely high and may cause a series of rejection conditions such as infection, bleeding, and tissue damage.

If there is a new type of material that can have both good electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, it can greatly reduce the immune response.

It is of great significance to the development of invasive brain-computer interface technology!
It is really surprising that Liang Kaiji was able to submit a research report in such a short period of time. It is hard to imagine that this super expert in materials science had wasted ten years of his youth in his previous company.

After joining Shanhai Microelectronics, I got on the fast track and made scientific research achievements frequently!
Chen Heyu smiled softly, opened the encrypted content in the attachment, sat on a chair, and read through it carefully.

Overseas materials scientists generally use three common materials to deal with rejection reactions.

The first is metal materials: platinum or titanium alloys. These two materials have good electrical conductivity and mechanical properties, but they are likely to cause immune reactions.

To reduce rejection reactions, plating or coating technologies are often used, such as nanostructures or biocompatible polymer coatings to improve the biocompatibility of materials.

The second type is polymer materials: polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyamide (PI), etc., which have good softness and biocompatibility and can reduce immune responses, but It has poor electrical conductivity and cannot perfectly collect nerve signals.

The third type, bioceramic materials: represented by alumina and zirconia, have good biocompatibility and chemical stability, but have the same shortcomings as polymer materials, poor conductivity.

Liang Kaiji made many attempts on this basis, but all ended in failure.

But in the end, he thought of using some of the characteristics of memory metal to create a polymer coating, adding a little titanium alloy to improve conductivity.

This layer of polymer material has excellent biocompatibility. Because it has some memory properties, it is not afraid of erosion and wear by tissue fluid.

It can be said that this is an excellent and genius design idea!
With this material, microelectrode array implantation surgery can solve the most troublesome rejection problem.

"Cow!"

Chen Heyu grinned. This feeling of finding a treasure is extremely wonderful.

Although he was asked to spend time and energy points to improve related skills and perhaps develop a new polymer material, his energy was mainly focused on the manufacturing of domestic EUV lithography machines and he could not be distracted.

After thinking for a moment, he called He Tingbo: "Mr. He, please promote Liang Kaiji to the level of senior chief engineer."

"Lao Liang has made new materials again?"

He Tingbo asked with a smile.

The head of the material department at the time almost fired Liang Kaiji, but for her keen eye, she recommended Lao Liang to the big boss.

I am afraid that this super genius in the field of materials science may still be worried about finding a job.

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it!

He Tingbo was Liang Kaiji's first Bole, and Chen Heyu was the second.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with the semiconductor industry. This material is of great significance to Professor Strong's brain-computer interface technology."

Chen Heyu explained simply.

"Okay, boss, I'll have the HR department draft a promotion email right away and make an announcement to all employees."

He Tingbo replied.

"Well, let's do this first."

Chen Heyu smiled and without thinking much, forwarded the content of the email to Professor Strong.

Liang Kaiji soon learned that his rank would be promoted to P6, second only to the highest chief scientist, P7.

The monthly salary skyrockets to 10 yuan. With quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, subsidies, etc., the total annual income is guaranteed to be 200 million Chinese dollars.

If the 1000 million bonus is recognition of his scientific research achievements, this 200 million annual salary is the greatest affirmation of his ability.

As for his wife's incomprehension, it disappeared as soon as he received his first multi-million bonus.

After receiving Chen Heyu's email, Professor Strong from Yancheng immediately started using Liang Kaiji's material plan to design an in-vivo microelectrode array.

Then, electrodes were implanted non-stop on a pig whose right leg was paralyzed.

These electrodes sense and receive electrical signals from neurons and convert them into digital signals that can be interpreted by a computer or other external device.

By analyzing these signals, invasive brain-computer interfaces can enable two-way communication between the human brain and the computer.

"Professor, that pig is standing up!"

Hong Jun looked excited, hugged Strong, and said with a smile.

This feeling is so amazing. They used digital signal instructions to let the pigs skip the necrotic nervous system and directly manipulate the neurons in the legs.

It actually made this pig whose right leg was paralyzed stand up again!

It seems very complicated. To put it simply, it is to implant a biological electrode in the cerebral cortex and right leg of the pig.

The cerebral cortex transmits neuronal signals using the right leg, and through signal processing and decoding, electrodes are used to control the nerves in the leg.

"Stop shaking, my old bones are almost falling apart because of you." Professor Strong couldn't help joking, with a smile on his face.

After three full years, he finally made some results and finally lived up to Chen Heyu's trust.

The entire R&D center burst into loud cheers, and the surrounding colleagues looked at each other. They wondered what kind of black technology the brain-computer interface laboratory had developed?

Obviously, the popular sales of Dream game cabin and Moss Ai glasses have won the respect of all employees of Future Technology.

You know, the thickness of the year-end bonus in 2016 can be at least doubled because of the existence of the brain-computer interface team.

Therefore, the brain-computer interface team’s status in the company is getting higher and higher!

Three days later, Future Technology held a press conference and officially announced to the outside world that China has mastered the world's most advanced invasive brain-computer interface technology.

A pig that has been paralyzed for many years regains the ability to move again with the help of an implanted microelectrode array.

The same reasoning can be extended to conclude that with this super technology, high paraplegia, Parkinson's disease, spinal injuries or neuromuscular diseases can be easily cured.

For a time, related news swept the world!
Whether it is in the technology circle or in the perception of ordinary people, it is quite explosive.

"Major medical breakthrough! Brain-computer interface equipment may help paralyzed patients control walking autonomously!"

"China takes the lead! The good news for paralyzed patients is finally here!"

"What is the principle behind the brain-computer interface that allows paralyzed patients to walk with their thoughts?"

"Oh No! Professor Strong is the pride of a beautiful country, why should he stay in a backward country!"

"This is an achievement of our beautiful country! Mr. Strong is a famous professor at the University of California."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and some people from North Berry Island even insulted Strong on social platforms, thinking that he had betrayed his motherland.

Finally, with no other choice, Strong stood up, faced the camera, and said in a sincere tone: "I am a beautiful Chinese and an old man who loves Chinese culture!

It is with the strong support of Mr. Chen Heyu that I can realize the brain-computer interface technology.

Three years, 127.5 billion Chinese dollars, I remember this number very clearly!I think humans all over the world should be grateful to this generous Chinese entrepreneur. It was his silent dedication that led to the final perfection of this technology.

In addition, another major contributor to brain-computer interface technology is Mr. Liang Kaiji of Shanhai Microelectronics. Without his material solutions, I would not have been able to create a bioelectrode array with ultra-low rejection..."

In his speech of more than ten minutes, Strong strongly agreed with Liang Kaiji.

Who is Liang Kaiji?

Liang Kaiji's name appeared on the international stage for the first time, but when everyone wanted to know the life of this talented scientist, they were surprised to find that before the age of 35, he was completely unknown.

In the original company, it was an unknown existence, without even a decent authoritative paper.

Could such a person be a materials science genius?
Or is it just academic fraud?

Faced with doubts, Liang Kaiji ignored them and continued to invest in the research and development of memory metal. He wanted to use his achievements to slap the world in the face and eliminate this vulgar prejudice.

Thinking of the research results and academic papers he had worked so hard to produce two years ago, they could be snatched away by someone just opening his mouth.

Who dares to do such a thing nowadays?

Comparing the work and study environment of Shanhai Microelectronics, there is a huge difference. As long as they can produce real materials, Shanhai Microelectronics dares to offer high salaries, generous bonuses and commissions.

The amount of deposits in his bank has almost exceeded nine figures. He stayed at the Materials Research Institute of Shanhai to fight for his dream.

A week later, the first “brain-computer interface” surgical operation in Greater China was completed!
The lucky ones who participate in the treatment are randomly selected from millions of candidates across the country.

All subsequent maintenance costs will be borne by Future Technology.

After a week of adaptation and exercise, the patient turned out to be a high-level paraplegic, which means that except for the movement of his head, all organs below the neck cannot move.

Now, I have regained my ability to move!

I can walk and jog!

The operation process and recovery process were all recorded on camera. With the release of a large amount of data, people have to believe it.

Future Technology has already made great strides in technological development in the field of brain-computer interface.

Non-invasive brain-computer interface products include the Dream game cabin and Moss AI glasses, while invasive brain-computer interface products include microelectrode arrays.

After a period of observation, the patient recovered very quickly and was able to adapt perfectly to implanted electrodes without even using anticoagulation and anti-inflammatory measures.

In an instant, the world's top richest people were moved!

Some people suffer from congenital diseases, while others suffer from acquired accidents, resulting in complete loss of mobility.

For rich people, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!

But only health is beyond their control!

……

Hong Kong Island is thousands of kilometers away.

A beautiful lady asked the middle-aged man opposite: "Xiao Lao, what did the other party say? What is the success rate of cure?"

"Sister, the success rate is very high, but the fees are also very high!"

The middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair and showed a wry smile.

"How much? My sister will pay you."

The lady said domineeringly, her husband's family is also one of the most wealthy and prominent families in Hong Kong Island.

It's just a small handling fee, even if it's tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, she won't blink an eye.

"8000 million dollars!"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice that his financial situation was not bad. If he only had 800 million Hong Kong banknotes, he could take it out.

But $8000 million is clearly a robbery!
