Chapter 561 Isn't This Just an Electric Car?

Fang Xiao felt depressed.

Since I replaced the smart lock at home, I often have to face this problem - I can't look back after closing the door.

Once you turn around, the door will open automatically through facial recognition.

This thing is just too flashy, especially the facial recognition feature which is fucked up.

Although facial recognition is quite hassle-free and labor-saving, it is quite unfriendly to someone like Fang Xiao who has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Helplessly, Fang Xiao turned around, closed the door, and left.

After taking two steps, Fang Xiao stopped.

Is the door closed or not?

Doctors and nurses, if they pay attention, will have some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Fang Xiao has been living this way for so many years. His obsessive-compulsive disorder cannot be said to be very severe, but it can only be said to be extremely severe.

Sometimes, while I was sleeping at night, I suddenly “dream” that a patient who had surgery during the day seemed to have problems with bleeding. After being awakened by the shock, I could no longer fall asleep.

Now, Fang Xiao is facing such a difficult problem.

If it were in the past, Fang Xiao would have had a solution long ago.

After closing the door, if no one is at home, Fang Xiao will perform a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms towards the door to deepen his memory, and then pull the door again to test whether it is closed tightly.

Because I have the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms as a foundation, I can always feel at ease when I recall it at work.

But faced with the electronic door with facial recognition, Fang Xiao fell into a dilemma - should he turn back and try again, perform a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, or just leave?
He stood there and thought for three seconds, then turned around. Click~~ The door opened automatically after facial recognition.

Fang Xiao was helpless. This time he closed the door seriously, confirmed it again, and made up his mind to turn around.

Three steps. His confidence only lasted three steps, and Fang Xiao stood there, feeling uneasy again.

At the moment of turning around, would the face recognize you and the door be opened without you noticing?
Thinking of this result, Fang Xiao could no longer move.

Fuck!
I will replace the door lock with facial recognition after I come back from the annual meeting.

This is bullshit. This thing is so fucked up and very, very, extremely unfriendly to someone like me with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After thinking for a few seconds, Fang Xiao turned around. The door sensed his face, and ding dong! The detection was successful, and it opened again without hesitation.

After repeating this for more than ten times, Fang Xiao felt like crying but had no tears left.

I am really sick, seriously ill!
You insist on installing a facial recognition system, but the result is that you can't even leave the house. Isn't this the same as imprisoning yourself?
The cell phone rang, and the online taxi driver had arrived and began to urge Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao was helpless, but he quickly thought of a solution: he covered his face with clothes and then closed the door.

This time the facial recognition system failed to recognize him, so Fang Xiao tried again, and found the door was closed tightly.

With his face covered, he performed a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Seeing that no one passed by, Fang Xiao tried again to see if the door was closed and turned to enter the elevator.

It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Fang Xiao took the clothes off his face.

He was also worried that the security guard would be nosy and stop him after seeing him enter the elevator with his face covered.

Fortunately, these things did not happen, and Fang Xiao got on the bus "smoothly".

We rushed all the way to the provincial capital. Although there were many people on the bus to the provincial capital, we were still able to buy tickets.

The return tickets were already hard to buy, and Fang Xiao had not expected that the Ice and Snow Festival would attract so many tourists.

Moreover, the video of releasing red-crowned cranes by bamboo has occupied the largest screens in high-speed railway stations and airports and has been played repeatedly. Even in the provincial capital, Changnan City, several large screens have been rented to play the video of releasing red-crowned cranes by bamboo.

The drainage effect is quite good, and thousands of tourists come to Changnan City just for this. For the red-crowned cranes and Longjiang Wagyu beef.

Fang Xiao thought of Luo Hao and bamboo, and his mood was somewhat complicated.

Professor Xiao Luo is indeed a great man. Just coming to visit the old leader and recording a video can have such a big impact.

Moreover, at this national annual meeting, Professor Xiao Luo brought together several departments to perform a hybrid operation.

Fang Xiao had seen liquid metal before, but what about magnetized liquid metal? Fang Xiao was a little confused.

Fang Xiao has been doing a lot of research during this period. The project of using liquid metal to remove blood vessels by thrombus removal developed by Harbin Institute of Technology and Fuwai Hospital is about to enter the first phase of clinical trials and is expected to appear in clinical practice in about three years.

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace. Fang Xiao even suspects that if he does not get in touch with these cutting-edge content, he will soon be left behind by the times and may not even live to retire.

Fang Xiao still remembers the technology explosion written by Liu Cixin.

Arriving in the provincial capital, Fang Xiao, who was full of wild thoughts, was dumbfounded.

You have to wait in a very long line to get a taxi. I was not wearing enough clothes, and it was very cold in the underground parking lot with gusts of wind.

Who would have thought that 100 million people from all over the country would come to the provincial capital to participate in the Ice and Snow Festival!
Don't they have to go to work?
Fang Xiao complained in his heart, and obediently followed a few southern girls in line waiting for a taxi.

On the big screen opposite, the scene of Bamboo running up from behind the hillside, holding a bamboo pole and directing the red-crowned cranes with the most standard and exclusive "poss".

Countless red-crowned cranes soared into the sky, the clear water and blue sky, the graceful white cranes, and the majestic bamboos drew waves of exclamations and cheers.

The waiting time didn't seem so unbearable. Even Fang Xiao, who witnessed the scene with his own eyes, watched it over and over again without feeling bored.

Especially the scene when Zhuzi ran up, Fang Xiao felt refreshed.

Professor Luo is really great. He can grow bamboo so well.

It’s hard to believe that if it weren’t for Professor Luo, the grass on Zhuzi’s grave would be so tall now.

After getting in, the taxi struggled forward in the traffic.

Finally arrived at the First Hospital of Medical University. After getting off the car, Fang Xiao tidied her clothes and waited in line for the elevator to go upstairs.

"Xiao Zhuang, this is for you."

At the door of the interventional doctor's office, Fang Xiao heard Luo Hao's voice.

"Brother, a diamond? So big?!"

"I made a new bus card. Others have their own unique features, so our provincial capital can't be any worse." Luo Hao said, "I made two kinds. I didn't keep the Siberian tiger ones, but I took a few bamboo ones and gave them to you."

"Brother, is it diamond?"

"Isn't it?" Luo Hao was also a little surprised. "Diamonds are so cheap. Yellow River Cyclone can easily produce them. It's not a big deal."

diamond?!
Fang Xiao is quite sensitive to this word.

When he got married, his wife didn't ask for anything, no dowry and no wedding banquet, and just lived a good life with Fang Xiao.

But she has always wanted a diamond ring, and sometimes she dreams of it being eternal and lasting.

After Fang Xiao made some money, he bought his wife a diamond ring, which was less than 1 carat. His wife was so happy that she was reluctant to wear it during the day for fear of losing it. She would hold it in her arms every night when she slept, just to satisfy her craving.

The technological explosion has made it so that diamonds can be worn casually... Fang Xiao was a little surprised. Although he knew in the past few years that diamonds would be given as gifts when he got off the train when traveling to Nanhe Province, Fang Xiao had never received one, so he didn't have a deep impression.

I didn’t expect that the provincial capital used diamonds as bus cards. I don’t know if it is the bus for disco.

Bus card and diamond, these two words don't go together.

Although Fang Xiao also knew that in order to attract tourists in Nanhe Province, diamonds were given away as soon as they got off the bus, and it had become commonplace in recent years, and there were people selling diamonds in the live broadcast room, and the quality of the diamonds was quite good, but that world was far away from Fang Xiao.

He walked into the office, his waist bent down involuntarily, maintaining a humble posture.

Professor Luo was holding a sculpture in his hand. It was a stone mountain with a sparkling diamond on it. From a distance, it looked like a bamboo.

I am!

It really looks like a diamond!
Fang Xiao was stunned.

"Director Fang is here. Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up?" Luo Hao stood up and handed the "stone" in his hand to Zhuang Yan, then turned around to greet Fang Xiao.

"Professor Luo, is that a bus card?" Fang Xiao stared with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, every place has its own characteristics. A few years ago, I went to Luoyang and I still have their peony subway card in my collection. It is made of jade and looks very delicate. It is worth a closer look when you hold it in your hand."

"Wait a minute, what? Jade?"

"Yes, that thing can be mass-produced industrially, it's not a rare thing. There's a light when you swipe the card. Every place has its own Chinese-style subway and bus card. Xi'an has the Tiger Talisman Card, which comes in duplicate and is valid for travel throughout the country."

"!!!" Fang Xiao was stunned. Setting up a subway or bus was like holding a tiger talisman to mobilize troops and generals, and directly sealing the wolf in Lair.

"The imperial capital has dragon-patterned jade pendants. Many girls wear dragon-patterned jade pendants around their waists when they wear Hanfu, which is quite appropriate for the situation." Luo Hao continued.

"!!!"

"Jinling uses the jade seal, which I don't like very much. 'Mandated by Heaven, May you live long and prosper.' These eight words are too big, I can't bear it, I can't bear it." Luo Hao smiled and invited Fang Xiaolai to sit down.

"In comparison, the Hubei card of Goujian the King of Yue is pretty good. We didn't have much in ancient times. It's a wild place. We can't make a Ningguta card. That would be too unlucky."

"..." Fang Xiao laughed.

Indeed, places like Ningguta are just for fun; after all, it is a place of exile.

In order to have a good reputation, we cannot use Ningguta.

In comparison, the Siberian tiger or bamboo is really the best choice.

only……

Fang Xiao's eyes fell on the subway bus card in Zhuang Yan's hand.

Luo Hao snapped his fingers, and Erhei walked over with a slight rustling sound.

"Hello, Director Fang."

Fang Xiao was startled by the sudden sound and jumped backwards, almost falling to the ground.

"Director Fang, be careful, what's wrong with you?"

"Luo... Professor Luo, I didn't expect Erhei could actually speak." Fang Xiao said, covering his chest.

I was so focused on the bus card just now that I was startled by Erhei's words.

"Oh, AI voice, don't you have Xiaomi Xiaoai or something at home?"

"..."

"Facial recognition. I'll input all the people I normally come into contact with, including your information, Director Fang."

"So Erhei knows you." "It's still troublesome. It would be much more convenient if we could connect the brain neurons directly."

Luo Hao told the story with a smile.

When Fang Xiao heard about facial recognition, he immediately thought of the door in his house, that damn door.

As he spoke, Luo Hao took out a subway bus card from Erhei's storage box and handed it to Fang Xiao.

"Director Fang, I'll give you one. Keep it for fun. We don't have many opportunities to take the subway or bus, so this is just a thought."

It's a diamond, it's indeed a diamond!
Fang Xiao stroked the huge diamond in a daze. Seeing that the diamond was carved into the shape of bamboo, he couldn't let it go.

"Director Fang, this diamond is still relatively small. Zhongnan Diamond has long been able to produce 20-50 carat diamonds."

Erhei began to mutter.

Fang Xiao was stunned. 20-50 carats?

"It's not enough, Erhei." Chen Yong turned around and watched Erhei talking seriously to AI. "I saw that the diamond on the British Queen's scepter was more than 500 carats."

"Brother Yong, 500 carat diamonds can also be produced." Erhei replied.

"Of course, it's not like I can't afford it." Chen Yong asked Erhei provocatively to see how it would answer.

"A 500-carat diamond is quite expensive, and it will take about 10 years to mass produce it. Maybe my estimate is wrong. After all, the speed of technological explosion has been getting faster and faster in recent years, so 5 years may be enough."

"But you may not want a 500-carat diamond by then. The scientists who studied plastic bags back then were doing it for environmental protection, to have fewer paper bags and cut down fewer trees."

"The result? It caused even greater pollution."

Chen Yong looked at Luo Hao, "Luo Hao, there seems to be something wrong with the AI's logic. Why is it talking so confusingly?"

"It's not a big problem. It makes sense." Luo Hao smiled and stretched out his hand. Erhei put the head into Luo Hao's hand and asked Luo Hao to handle it.

"In 1902, Austrian scientist Max Schuschny studied plastic bags in order to protect trees, but who knew that plastic bags would become a source of pollution? Diamonds still have some value now, but in a few years, they may not be."

"It's just an industrial product, worth a few dollars. If you want it, the three diamond factories in Henan will do their best to produce it... Forget it, it's meaningless. It's like showing off a piece of coal to others. It's okay to use it as a decoration on bus and subway cards."

"Professor Luo, Erhei's AI voice dialogue seems to be quite fluent." Fang Xiao said to Erhei.

"It's OK." Luo Hao smiled, with a hint of doting in his smile. "After all, I have been working in the catheterization room for a while, and I am also constantly applying it in other language places. Now scientific research is not in the research institute, but in the factory and clinical frontline."

"Kakaka~"

A crackling sound was heard and Luo Hao frowned slightly.

"Professor Luo!"

Fang Xiao was shocked to see a girl in a half-mecha standing at the door of the doctor's office.

Was he dreaming? Fang Xiao rubbed his eyes.

Back then, netizens photoshopped the picture - the Communist army had Gundam. Now in the hospital, we can actually see a half-body mecha with our own eyes?
Although the mecha looks a bit simple, it is still a mecha!

That's a mecha! !
Fang Xiao stood up suddenly, staring at the mecha, and couldn't pull it out.

"Xiao Ye, why did you come out again?" Luo Hao was a little dissatisfied. "Have a good rest. I will try to let you eat in a few days."

"Professor Luo, I feel uncomfortable lying down. I haven't been able to walk on my own for many years. Now I want to walk more often." The little patient acted coquettishly to Luo Hao.

Fang Xiao was stunned.

During the conversation between Professor Luo and the girl, Fang Xiao realized one thing - the girl in the half-body mecha was the patient who had undergone dozens of operations due to a car accident and ended up with paralysis of the lower body and esophageal atresia.

I am!

Professor Luo actually put a mecha on her!

She can actually walk with a powered exoskeleton!!
Although the walking of a mecha is different from walking by yourself, it can be controlled after all, and it looks quite... sci-fi.

"There are so many people here now, it won't be good if we bump into others or you." Luo Hao waved his hand, motioning Ye Hong to come in, and smiled, "It's not that I won't let you go, just charge up and get used to it after 7pm."

"Be good. When you are discharged from the hospital in a while, I will take you to Haodong to see the pandas."

"Bamboo!" Ye Hong shouted happily.

"Yes, let's go see the bamboo." Luo Hao said with a smile, "Recently I saw you using a mechanical exoskeleton, and I was thinking about equipping bamboo with one. But there is no application scenario. If bamboo wears a mechanical exoskeleton, I'm afraid it will overturn the Qinling Mountains."

Fang Xiao saw a little girl wearing a half-body mecha walking towards him. The mecha was moving by itself and the little girl was just a controller.

But this was enough to make Fang Xiao inexplicably surprised.

Moreover, the controls are rather crude, with only two joysticks, just like operating an excavator.

But that's a mecha, not an excavator!
Fang Xiao usually only watches short videos about excavators and repairing donkey hooves.

This mecha directly touched the softest spot in Fang Xiao's heart.

Although Professor Luo Haoluo has explained that this is just a mechanically powered exoskeleton, in Fang Xiao's opinion, it is a mecha!
It would be great if it was a full-body vehicle, equipped with an engine that could reach Mach 16, and it would take only half an hour to get from the capital to Washington.

Thinking of the heroic appearance of the mecha, Fang Xiao's saliva was already flowing.

Is this thing difficult?
It doesn't seem difficult. Mechanical exoskeletons have been on the market for a long time, and PLA soldiers have been seen wearing mechanical exoskeletons.

Moreover, in scenic spots, you can occasionally see people climbing mountains wearing mechanical exoskeletons.

What's the difference?

Fang Xiao looked at it carefully and finally found that the difference was in its heaviness.

It should be a kinetic energy problem. Mechanical powered exoskeletons are electrically driven, and the thin carbon fiber rods used in the past looked unreliable.

But if it turns into a mecha, wouldn't it be an electric car? !

Fang Xiao was shocked by his own thoughts, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was nothing wrong with it.

Nowadays, the streets are full of old men wearing happy clothes. I am afraid that the technology of this kind of mechanical exoskeleton will leak out and even small workshops in Fulaerji District under Changnan City can produce it.

The factory in Fulaerji can produce mechas. Fang Xiao simplified his thoughts and his heart was filled with excitement.

That's impossible. The country will definitely not allow large-scale production and sales of this thing.

And it has to be a real-name system, implemented on everyone's head. After all, this is a mecha, if it falls into the hands of criminals, I'm afraid the damage caused will be great.

But it looks really good. Fang Xiao has already made up his mind that after the annual meeting, he will definitely ask Professor Luo to customize a "mecha" for him!
Even if it's immature, it's good to drive a mecha around at home.

When Fang Xiao thought about having a mecha when he got home, he didn't even want to attend the annual meeting. It was a pity that there was no real mecha waiting for Fang Xiao at home, only that damn facial recognition door.

"Xiao Ye, how do you feel today?" Luo Hao asked.

"Professor Luo, I have started trying to swallow air today." Ye Hong and Luo Hao reported, just like it was an ordinary ward round.

"Swallow less and don't put too much pressure on the esophageal wall."

"Yes, yes, yes! But Professor Luo, look." The little patient's mechanical exoskeleton made a rustling sound, and she drove the "mech" to Luo Hao.

The little patient then picked up the gastrostomy tube and took a bottle of water from the "mech".

"I'm here to report this situation to you." The little patient was happy. She opened the bottle and inserted the fistula tube into it.

Luo Hao just watched quietly.

With each breath, the young patient attempts to swallow air into the stomach.

Gurgle, gurgle, a small amount of gas comes out of the pure water bottle.

"Not bad." Luo Hao nodded with satisfaction, "But you can't drink water recently, do you know?"

"I know, I know. I just want to put on my clothes and go out for a walk now."

The little patient looked out the window.

She was like the red-crowned crane, pitiful. Luo Hao laughed and patted the "mech", making a banging sound.

"Okay, go back now." Luo Hao said, "There are still two days of meetings. I will make a PPT report then. When I need you to go on stage, you can come up and tell everyone about your feelings. Don't think too much, just tell the truth."

"Yes!!!" The little patient nodded vigorously.

She was still a little weak, but the earth-shaking changes during this period made her unconsciously excited.

Able to walk, and eat in a few days!
These things that are easily available to ordinary people seem so far away to Ye Hong that they require a lot of effort to reach them.

But when all this was about to become a reality, Ye Hong did not realize what the miracle that happened to him meant.

She didn't need to know either.

Luo Hao watched the little patient wearing the exoskeleton system turn around and leave, and turned back to greet him.

When she smiled, the surgical scars on her shoulders and neck moved as well, but Luo Hao didn't think it was ugly. He just felt that even the surgical scars carried an inexplicable rhythm.

"Professor Luo, I saw the previous film. Her esophageal atresia was very thick, all caused by adhesion hyperplasia." Fang Xiao asked, "How did it become unblocked?"

"Nothing, it's very simple." Luo Hao replied, "Once the liquid metal puncture is successful, it will compress and expand it little by little. It will take several months to be completely successful, but now a barium radiography of the upper gastrointestinal tract can prove the success of the operation."

"Liquid metal?"

"Oh, no hurry." Luo Hao smiled, "I'm still working on the PPT. You'll know when we have the meeting in the next few days."

Fang Xiao knew that Professor Luo was too lazy to explain, so he didn't ask any more questions to annoy others.

When there was nothing else to do, Fang Xiao approached Luo Hao and asked, "Professor Luo, can I buy that mecha?"

"what?"

"Exoskeleton."

"Oh, what's so good about that thing? It's just made to fool children." Luo Hao laughed, "There will be low-flying mechas soon. Don't you want one?"

"!!!"

"I'm not kidding. Director Fang, you've seen it, it's just a simple electric car. If we turn an electric car into an electric plane, I estimate it will be ready in a few years."

Fang Xiao felt his mind was a little confused.

"Well, to put it bluntly, it's all about application scenarios. Our production capacity has already overflowed, production capacity is not a problem, and it's not difficult to explore more application scenarios."

"But who knows? Twenty years ago, who would have thought that a mobile phone could take you all over the country, right?"
