Cyber Heroes

"I was amazed..." Lu Xuanyu was a little surprised, "Even the blind..."

"It's not'blindness', but'total blindness'. Usually the group of people who have a'faint light perception' are also classified as the'blind'. But the first batch of volunteers chose people with damaged retinas. They don't even have a light perception." Lance said.

Lu Xuanyu’s wife exclaimed: "Your company is really amazing...but 240P, which is so silly. Do you have to wear a pair of glasses?"

240P belongs to them Unheard-of low definition. When they were growing up, 2K could barely be called "high-definition." Only some collectors of electronic products can produce such low-resolution things.

Florence shook the head: "It's not that simple. The visual function of living creatures basically relies on the principle of small aperture imaging, which allows light to pass through the pupil and project an image on the retina. Humans are nearsighted. , Because the eyeball, cornea, lens, etc. are deformed, so that the focus of pupil imaging is not on the retina. In this case, it makes sense to use glasses. But the retinas of these volunteers are artificial, and their retinas themselves are also artificial. You can only see'equivalent to 240P' but the image."

"Is there no remedy?"

"There are still." Florence nodded: "The advantage of the prosthesis is here. The size of the eyeball is limited by the eye socket, and the size of the eye socket is limited by the skull. So, if you don’t stick to the size of the naked eye, or if you accept temporary external equipment, You can see higher clarity."

"External equipment?" Lu Xuanyu was a little interested: "What kind of?"

"Similar to a motorcycle helmet, that Polish The painter also participated in the styling design as the first-generation external device." Florence said: "The only drawback is that it is a bit heavy. But with an external skeleton, it is basically not a problem. It is a pity that the sample has not been made yet, otherwise I can show it to you."

"Externally..." Lu Xuanyu looked at his lower body and seemed to be thinking about it, "Then can I change different feet according to different needs?"

p>

"There are such considerations." Florence nodded: "Human feet are designed for walking on flat ground, and hands are also specialized for using tools. In certain occasions, natural The hands and feet may not be able to take on certain tasks. According to the company's plan, the first group of healthy people to take the initiative to accept the prosthesis should be astronauts, firefighters and other groups working in extreme environments. There may be a need for this. "

"Speaking of prosthetic eyes. With the advancement of technology, the clarity of these people's vision will continue to improve. It may not be ten years before they will be able to see the world in 1080P."

Florence took Lu Xuanyu and his wife to visit other areas. The projects carried out here are still experimental projects.

One of the projects attracted Lu Xuanyu's attention. The subject of that project was also a firefighter. He was sent here because he inhaled excessive amounts of dust and pollutants on the fire site and caused lung failure.

Lu Xuanyu learned that the lungs can also be replaced.

Thanks to the rapid progress in materials science, humans can now use a special membrane oxygenator to meet the respiratory needs of a human. However, Yoggmov and Xiang Shan went further. Superman has a universal solution of "autologous cells + signal factors + 3D printing", which can create an artificial lung with a denser structure and a more efficient blood vessel segment.

In fact, Yoggmov's research on this thing is just "facilitating"-most of the details of this technology are the same as the technology of printing the prosthesis base by osteoblasts.

Yoggmov just wants to further explore the mystery of human cell differentiation and get some money by the way.

The problem of firefighters’ lung failure has always been a pain point for fire departments in various countries. Many people who have been named "fire-fighting heroes" have suffered from this. In an emergency, the protection is not effective, even if you rush out of the fire alive, people will not do it.

Yoggmov satisfies his curiosity, and the funded fire department has achieved success, and finally received a relatively cheap lung failure treatment.

"A stronger heart, more efficient lungs. Many internal organs have the probability of replacement." Florence said: "The technology of artificial hearing organs has become more mature. Touch is barely possible. Do it. Now only the sense of smell and taste lack clues. Purely use instruments to detect complex mixtures, and then convert them into specific neural signals, which can also match the natural information processing mechanism in the human brain... This is indeed quite difficult. "

"Apart from this, there are not many deficiencies and diseases that we cannot overcome."

When talking about this topic, Florence has a natural pride.

Lu Xuanyu can now fully understand this pride.

For a doctor, is there anything more to be proud of than "we are conquering all diseases"?

Lu Xuanyu is the scientist who sees most in Superman Enterprise.

They show up the most, this is the look.

For some reason, Lu Xuanyu felt a kind of "envious".

——This kind of direction is clear, and the feeling that you can always move forward...

The visit is over soon. This is the scientific research area after all. For Lu Xuanyu and his wife, there are not many things that can be directly understood.

After sending the two back to their private space, Florence sat down and said to the couple: "Mr. Lu, there is one more thing I want to notify you. However, I am not very clear. The culture of your country is taboo on this topic, so if you think my words offend you, please tell me directly."

"What?"

"About the first A generation of artificial male genitalia prosthesis." Florence said: "It has just passed the primate animal experiment. Because we were not sure when this technology will be applied to humans. In order to prevent you from having it. ...Cough cough, additional psychological burden. We didn’t tell you this news before. After receiving the news, I hope to choose an occasion where you and your wife are both present."

Lu Xuanyu blushed. . This is not anger, but as a Republican man whose growth environment tends to be conservative, he hasn't talked much about this topic with women before. But Florence was a purely parental attitude of a healer, and it made him feel that he was thinking too much. He glanced at his wife instinctively.

Lu Xuanyu’s wife is also somewhat sorry: "This, this stuff...it's useless. We now have reproductive isolation..."

"Harmonious husband and wife relationship contributes to mental health ."
