Great Country Academician

Chapter 1013: Inestimable Value~

Jinling.

In the Dean's Office at Xinghai Research Institute, a familiar video call ringtone rang.

His eyes fell on the Mars exploration data on the table. After picking up his phone from the table and glancing at the caller ID, Xu Chuan's eyes showed a hint of smile.

He tapped his thumb and connected the video.

On the other side of the video, a face with a ponytail came into view.

The call was from Xu Xiao, and at this moment, that pretty little face was full of joy and excitement that could not be hidden.

"Brother!"

After shouting with a joyful tone, Xu Xiao pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Guess why I called you?"

Looking at the little face on the other side of the video that couldn't hide his worries, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Do you have anything else to do besides asking me for money?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother!"

Just when she was about to complain, before she could say anything, her little head turned quickly again, and then she followed Xu Chuan's words and acted coquettishly.

"Brother, you are too smart! Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you!"

"Hehe~."

Xu Chuan glanced at her, but did not expose her, and continued: "You just took away 300 million in May. It's only August, three months. What, are you burning money for fun?"

"Brother! R\u0026D optimization experiments all cost money." Xu Xiao pouted and sighed pretentiously: "You don't know how difficult it is to manage a company if you don't run the house!"

"Really! Employee salaries, R\u0026D budgets, project management, performance bonuses. Damn, each one costs a little money. It's already very good that 300 million can last for three months. I really don't have a penny now."

"Brother, help! When our bionic mechanical prosthetic technology is listed, let alone 300 million, even a return of 30 billion will be easy!"

On the other side of the video, Xu Xiao counted one by one with his fingers, while painting a big cake for his brother.

Xu Chuan just watched happily without answering.

He knew that Xu Xiao definitely didn't call him for money this time. This girl never hid her thoughts in front of him. She probably wanted to ask for money on a whim, and wanted to "extort" him a little more.

Although it is true that researching virtual technology and bionic mechanical prostheses is very expensive, and scientific research does cost money like water, but if this girl doesn't have a penny, it's better to believe that he is the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang than to believe her.

She just asked for 300 million yuan from him in May, and it's only mid-August now. Three and a half months, it's not like spending money like this.

However, Xu Chuan could guess the purpose of Xu Xiao's request for money, including her video call to him this time.

If it goes as expected, the clinical trial of bionic mechanical prostheses should have made progress, and may even have been completed.

After all, if you count the time, it has been more than five months since the bionic mechanical prosthesis + brain-computer interface chip was approved to enter the final human clinical trial in March this year.

According to the clinical trial standards of general medical equipment, the inspection of an equipment can be completed in as short as four months or as long as half a year.

Although the technology of bionic mechanical prosthesis + brain-computer interface chip is complicated, as long as there is no major accident that causes the death of the subjects in the clinical trial, or causes serious damage to the brain and body, nerve damage, etc., there will be no big problem in passing the experiment normally.

Although it is said that this has a little relationship with him, he mainly provides some funds and helps to contact clinical hospitals, patients and other aspects.

As for clinical trials, he did not intervene in any related processes or provide help.

He even greeted the director of the Clinical Medicine Center of the Hexi Campus of the First Hospital, and everything should be carried out according to normal standards. If there are any unexpected problems or situations during the clinical trial, he should be notified as soon as possible.

It’s not that he is afraid that Xu Xiao will use his relationship to mess around in clinical trials and pass those examinations that should not pass and have problems.

This girl also grew up under his watch, and she can’t do such things.

What he was worried about was that the hospital and related personnel might give some "help" in the clinical trial, such as relaxing the review of a certain indicator, passing some problematic inspections, etc.

Especially since Xu Xiao was his sister, with his status and reputation in the country, even if he didn't mention it, many people would take the initiative to "guess" his thoughts and do something to please him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xu Xiao or his parents had any difficulties, as long as the news spread, I believe that countless people would rush to help solve them.

This kind of thing is not impossible, and the network of relationships is densely woven everywhere.

For these people, even if it is just to show their face in front of him, it is worth it.

Therefore, for clinical medical experiments, the Clinical Medicine Center of the Hexi Campus of the First Hospital sends relevant test reports and data to him every week.

Although there are still some convenient behaviors that cannot be avoided, as long as the bionic mechanical prosthesis and brain nerve interface chip do not cause physical and mental damage to the people undergoing the experiment in clinical experiments, it doesn't matter.

Life safety is his bottom line. As long as this red line is not crossed, other problems are trivial in his eyes.

After watching Xu Xiao's performance quietly for a while, Xu Chuan suddenly smiled and asked: "Have the clinical trials of bionic intelligent prostheses and brain-computer interface chips been completed?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao, who was still trying to act cute and cheat some money from her brother on the other side of the video call, was stunned.

After a long pause, she said: "Brother! Did you arrange a spy next to me?"

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said: "Is it necessary? With your little abacus, do you need to think so much?"

Xu Xiao smiled awkwardly, but soon recovered, with a little excitement on his face, and said: "Brother, this time I really came to you for help!"

Xu Chuan: "What's wrong?"

Xu Xiao quickly said: "First of all, I have good news to tell you! The clinical trials of bionic intelligent prostheses and brain-computer interface chips have officially passed the third phase of clinical trials!"

"In the test centers in Jinling, Xingcheng, Modu, Jingcheng, and Chuandu, we conducted comparative clinical tests on 15 disabled people in each city. The final result is brother, guess what the pass rate is. Less? ! "

"How much?"

"One hundred percent!" Xu Xiao said excitedly, "In five cities, a total of 75 clinical trial personnel have passed the third phase of the experiment!"

"And the functional test standard of the bionics intelligent prosthesis installed on them has reached 99.78%, the data transmission stability rate of the brain-computer interface chip is 99.42%, and the stable conversion rate is 99.81%. All patients undergoing clinical trials have shown excellent mobility in the four-month clinical trial."

"It is no exaggeration to say that they are almost completely indistinguishable from normal people at present!"

It must be said that Xu Xiao did not expect that the disabled people who underwent clinical trials in these five different cities could pass the third phase of the experiment with such a high standard and pass rate.

After all, in the previous experiments, they also faced the problem of uncontrolled conversion of ERP potential signal data in EEG brain wave signals.

In the end, it was the mathematical model established by her brother that solved this problem.

I originally thought that after the third phase of clinical trials, they still needed to further optimize the mathematical model and related induction conversion signals before they could promote it to the market.

However, the mathematical model completed by Xu Chuan was far better than she had imagined.

Once again, Xu Xiao felt the ‘abnormality’ of her brother!

Hearing the excellent data, Xu Chuan also smiled, and then asked: “What do you want me to do?”

Hearing this, Xu Xiao smiled and said: “Promotion!”

“Promotion?”

Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, Xu Xiao smiled and said: “Yes, it’s publicity.”

After a slight pause, she continued: “The third phase of clinical trials has met the national standards for medical equipment. In this case, we will also prepare to promote bionic intelligent prostheses and brain-computer interface chips to the society.”

“Brother~”

Reading the correct version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

Suddenly, Xu Xiao dragged out the last word for a long time, and said in a tone that was almost sweet enough to make people sick: "Help me stand on the stage~, wait until the product launch conference."

After hanging up the call, Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, then called his assistant and asked her to transfer 200 million yuan to the account of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Co., Ltd.

Although the bionic intelligent prosthesis and brain-computer interface chip have passed the third phase of clinical trials, subsequent research and optimization will continue, including promotion, which also requires money.

If it was when Starlight Virtual Technology was established, he couldn't transfer money so directly, after all, Shuimu University had a certain share here at that time, and a series of issues had to be considered.

But after Xu Xiao graduated, these shares were taken back. Now half of Starlight Technology's shares are in his hands, and the other half are in Xu Xiao's hands. No matter how much he invests, it will not be cheap for others.

With the value of bionic mechanical prosthesis technology and brain-computer interface chip technology, as long as a product can be launched officially to the market, then the product is doomed to explode.

And the potential of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology is bound to be seen by everyone.

For bionic mechanical prosthesis technology and brain-computer interface chip technology, the latter is actually more important.

The difficulty of bionic mechanical prosthesis is not actually on the mechanical arm. In order to flexibly control the prosthesis, how to sense and cooperate with the human body's activities is the most core key node.

Motion bionics and control bionics have always been the core issues of prosthetic research.

Whether it is a traditional neural control bionic prosthesis or a digital bionic electronic hand, it needs to be integrated with the human body to play a role.

The biggest problem is to smoothly cooperate with the human body's movements.

The brain-computer interface chip studied by Xu Xiao almost perfectly solves this problem.

Although only the limbs can be smoothly controlled at present, it can be moved to other parts of the human body in the future.

For example, eyes, ears, vocal cords, etc.

Let the deaf, dumb, blind and other disabled people feel the world again, which is something that can be seen in the near future.

More importantly, the biggest use of the interface chip that can accurately sense and convert brain wave signals is not in medical devices.

Helping disabled people to resume normal life is just its "additional" function.

For brain-computer interface chips, their greatest use is to help humans build a "second world"!

Use computer simulation to generate a three-dimensional virtual world, providing users with simulations of vision, hearing, touch and other senses, allowing users to feel immersive and interact freely with things in the space.

This is the technology commonly seen in science fiction novels and science fiction movies, "100% real virtual reality".

Although this function is most commonly used in various games in science fiction or game online novels and movies, games are only part of its functions.

Various fields such as medical simulation surgery, military aerospace simulation training, industrial simulation, emergency simulation, etc. are all promising areas for its future application.

For example, medical simulation surgery, let's take the simplest example.

In real surgery, mistakes made by medical students and doctors may cause damage to patients or even life-threatening situations.

It often takes more than ten years for a medical student to grow into a doctor who can take charge of his own affairs.

In some special fields, it may take twenty, thirty or even longer years.

And the number of cases also shackles the growth of doctors.

In some special niche disease fields and fields that require "major surgery", the number of patients is often limited, and younger doctors have no chance to get started.

For example, heart bypass surgery, heart valve replacement surgery, brain tumor surgery, etc.

These surgeries are more traumatic to the body, with high surgical risks, and may cause permanent effects on brain function and complications.

These major surgeries, even chief doctors and well-known experts are not 100% sure that they can succeed, and it is impossible for young doctors to do them.

By using simulated surgical training equipment, medical students and doctors can get an operating experience close to real surgery.

In the operating room constructed by virtual reality, they can be familiar with the use of surgical instruments, the surgical process, and improve their operating skills, so as to better cope with actual surgical scenes.

They can also try new techniques and new equipment without risk, increase risk awareness, and improve the ability to deal with complex situations.

Whether it is from improving the professional level of doctors or protecting the lives of patients, etc., virtual reality technology has immeasurable value.

As for publicity

Xu Chuan didn't mind Xu Xiao pulling him to help stand at the product launch conference.

The earlier the bionic mechanical prosthesis is launched on the market and known by everyone, the sooner the disabled will return to normal life.

The pioneering work of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company can also drive other capital to invest in research and development in related fields, further benefiting society.

He is still happy about this kind of thing.
