Chapter 613 For Harmonious Living
"It's amazing..." Lu Xuanyu was a little surprised, "Even blind people..."

"It's not 'blindness', but 'total blindness'. Usually, the group of people with 'weak light perception' will also be classified as 'blind'. But the first batch of volunteers were all with damaged retinas. People. They don't even have a sense of light," Florence said.

Lu Xuanyu's wife exclaimed: "Your company is really amazing...but 240P, it's so blurry. Do you have to wear glasses?"

240P is an unheard of low definition for them.They were growing up in a time when 2K could barely be called "high definition".Only a few electronics collectors can shell out for something this low-res.

Florence shook his head: "It's not that simple. The visual function of living things basically relies on the principle of pinhole imaging, allowing light to pass through the pupil and project an image on the retina. Humans are short-sighted because the eyeball, cornea, The lens etc. are deformed so that the focal point of pupil imaging is not on the retina. In this case, it makes sense to use glasses. However, the retina and optic nerve of these volunteers are artificial, and they are limited by the processing ability and With the transmission capability of the optic nerve, you can only see images 'equivalent to 240P' - please note that 240P is just a metaphor."

"Is there no remedy?"

"There are still." Florence nodded: "That's the benefit of the prosthetic body. The size of the eyeball is limited by the orbit, and the size of the eye socket is limited by the skull. So, if you don't stick to the 'physical eye Similar size', or accept temporary external equipment, can see higher clarity."

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

"Similar to a motorcycle helmet, the Polish artist also participated in the shape design, as the first generation of external equipment." Florence said: "The only disadvantage is that it is a bit heavy. But with the exoskeleton, it is basically not a problem. It's a pity that the sample has not been made yet, otherwise I can show it to you."

"External connection..." Lu Xuanyu looked at his lower body, as if he was dreaming, "Then according to different needs, can you change different feet?"

"There is this kind of consideration." Florence nodded: "Human feet are designed for walking on flat ground, and hands are also specialized for using tools. On certain occasions, natural hands and feet may not be able to Undertake certain tasks. According to the company's plan, the first batch of able-bodied people who take the initiative to accept prosthetic bodies should be astronauts, firefighters and other groups working in extreme environments. There may be demand for this."

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

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

One of the items caught Lu Xuanyu's attention.The subject of that project was also a firefighter.He was sent here because of lung failure caused by inhaling excessive dust and pollutants at the fire scene.

Only then did Lu Xuanyu know that lungs can also be replaced.

Thanks to the rapid progress of materials science, humans can now use a special membrane oxygenator to meet the breathing needs of a human.However, Yawgmoth and Xiang Shan went one step further.Superman has a general-purpose solution of "autologous cells + signaling factors + 3D printing", which can create an artificial lung with a denser structure and more efficient vascular divisions.

In fact, Yawgmoth's research on this thing is just "handy" - most of the details of this technology are exactly the same as the technology of osteoblast printing prosthesis base.

Yawgmoth just wanted to further explore the mysteries of human cell differentiation and get some funding by the way.

The problem of firefighters' lung failure has always been a pain point for fire departments in various countries.Many people who were dubbed "fire fighting heroes" fell to the root of their illness because of this.In case of an emergency, if the protection is not effective, even if you get out of the fire alive, you will die.

Yawgmoth satisfied his curiosity, and the funded fire department achieved success, and finally got a relatively cheap lung failure treatment.

"A stronger heart, more efficient lungs. Many internal organs have the possibility of replacement." Florence said: "The technology of artificial hearing organs is relatively mature. The touch can barely do it. Now only Smell and taste lack clues. Purely using instruments to detect complex mixtures, and then convert them into specific neural signals, can also match the natural information processing mechanism in the human brain... This is indeed quite difficult."

"Besides, there are not many disabilities and diseases that we cannot overcome."

Florence had a natural pride in discussing the subject.

Lu Xuanyu can fully understand this pride now.

Is there anything more proud of a doctor than "We are fighting all diseases"?

What Lu Xuanyu saw the most in Superman Enterprise were scientists.

What they show most is this kind of look.

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

——This kind of direction is clear, and the feeling that you can always be high-spirited...

The visit is over soon.After all, this is a research area.For Lu Xuanyu and his wife, there are not many things that can be directly understood.

After sending the two back to the private space, Florence sat down and said to the couple: "Mr. Lu, there is one more thing to inform you. However, I am not very clear about the culture of your country. The degree of taboo, so if you feel that my words offend you, please tell me directly.”

"what?"

"About the first generation of artificial male external genital prosthesis." Florence said: "It has just passed the primate animal experiment. Because we were not sure when this technology could be applied to humans. In order not to Let you have... ahem, extra psychological burden, we didn't tell you this news before. After receiving the news, I hope to choose an occasion where both of you and your husband are present. "

Lu Xuanyu blushed.This is not anger, it's just that as a man in the republic who grew up in a conservative environment, he hasn't talked about such topics with women before.But Florence's pure attitude of a doctor's parental heart made him feel that he was thinking too much.He instinctively glanced at his wife.

Lu Xuanyu's wife was also a little embarrassed: "This, this thing...isn't useful. We have reproductive isolation now..."

"A harmonious relationship between husband and wife contributes to mental health."
