People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Old Sam sat on the skateboard, his face expression normal, as if he didn't notice the strange looks from the people around him.

Sugar said, "From now on, you will be able to walk and run on your feet like a normal person."

"I don't care. I've been broken for more than 20 years, so I'm used to it." Old Sam shook his head. "As long as I can contribute to the development of bionic prostheses and help the young people in the association return to normal, I'll be satisfied."

granulated sugar:"……"

At this time, Shen Qin said to her: "Sugar, take the old man back to the alchemy workshop. I'm going to the Knights to do some work."

"Ok."

Half an hour later, Shen Qin came back with a construction team and started renovating several houses opposite.

"Shen Qin...what is this?" Shatang was attracted by the noise and asked in confusion.

"I asked the Knights to help find a vacant house to use as an operating room. After some consideration, I decided to use a semi-implantation method to connect the prosthesis to the body."

"Half-implanted?" Sugar gave him a questioning look.

Shen Qin returned to the alchemy workshop and drew on a blueprint. Old Sam also came over.

"We also implant things into the body, but what is implanted is just a base. The prosthesis is connected to the base through a mechanical structure, so that it is easy to disassemble and repair the prosthesis while ensuring stability. The structure of the base is very simple and only serves to connect the prosthesis, so there is no need to worry about it being damaged."

"This is indeed a good idea!" Sugar's eyes lit up.

Old Sam felt his legs beginning to hurt.

They soon began studying the design of the base and how to fix it once it was implanted.

While making the base, Shatang suddenly asked Shen Qin: "If the bet you mentioned earlier is established, what would you ask me to do?"

"Do you really want to know?" Shen Qin asked her with a smile.

"Well, I don't really want to know, I'm just curious..." Sandu's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head to do her work, but she made mistakes frequently.

She never heard his reply and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Shen Qin said, "Actually, I wanted to trick you into working as an assistant in my alchemy workshop. Sometimes my ideas are very limited. Just like when I'm making the prosthesis now, your participation will make it a lot easier for me, and it will become more perfect."

"But I am now Mr. Albedo's assistant..."

"Take on more work! I only do research occasionally here."

In fact, even if there was no bet, I would still agree to your request, Sandu said silently in her heart.

Because Shen Qin's inventions are so interesting, it is an irresistible temptation for her who is obsessed with alchemy.

By the afternoon of the next day, the operating room had been set up and the two bases had been completed. The entire implantation operation was completed under the guidance of Shatang. Shen Qin never knew that she was also very good at this.

On the third day, the physical structure of Shatang's prosthesis was completed, and she began to discuss the assembly method of the entire prosthesis with Shen Qin. In the end, they decided to hide the nervous system and the power system powered by electrical crystals in the hollow alloy skeleton.

At eleven o'clock in the evening of the fourth day, the two complete prosthetic feet were assembled. Shatang went to rest, and Shen Qin began to write the intelligent control system for them.

On the morning of the fifth day, Sucrose woke up Shen Qin early. Serius, Old Sam, all the Knights and Diluk had gathered in the alchemy workshop.

"Then let's get started and see what the results are." Shen Qin licked his lips, and together with Shatang, installed the two prosthetic feet on the base implanted in Old Sam's legs.

Chapter 35: Yes, yes, yes!

Old Sam was also a famous adventurer when he was young, but during one adventure, he pushed his companion away from a huge rolling stone, but his own legs were severely crushed by the stone.

After being rescued and brought back to Mondstadt, both of his legs were amputated above the knees. Although he saved his life, he lost the opportunity to continue being an adventurer forever.

Seleus, who was not yet the branch president of the Adventurer's Guild at that time, secured a clerical job for him in the association, and he has been working there for more than 20 years. He went from being unwilling and decadent in the beginning to being relieved now, but he is less than 50 years old, but because of the psychological depression in the first few years of his disability, he now looks like a man in his early 60s.

When Serius brought two young men to find him and said that they could help him get back on his feet, he just hoped that he could be a pathfinder for those poor young adventurers in the association.

But when he really felt his legs again, his tears couldn't help but flow.

He clumsily learned the forgotten way of walking, feeling the cold, solid ground with his soles.

"Thank you so much!" Seleus held Shen Qin's hand tightly. He didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Not only Old Sam, there are many more young people with disabled hands and feet in the association whose lives will also be saved.

Qin was rarely distracted as she watched old Sam slowly getting used to his prosthetic foot.

If the invention of the flying skateboard made her realize how powerful Shen Qin was, then the appearance of the bionic prosthesis raised his status in her heart to several levels.

The broken limbs regenerated like a miracle.

"How about we cooperate like last time?" Diluk looked at Shen Qin and Kaeya.

"Of course the Knights have no objection, but I have a small suggestion. Can we increase the Knights' share a little bit?" Kaia made a gesture with his index finger and thumb, "Just a little bit will do."

"No, the Knights don't want any share this time." Qin suddenly spoke, looking at the surprised eyes of Shen Qin and Diluk, and said, "What I mean is that I hope to use the share obtained by the Knights to subsidize every Mondstadt citizen who purchases bionic prostheses, so that they can spend as little money as possible.

Shen Qin said, "My share also needs to be revised. Sugar has made a great contribution to the research and development this time. I only need 4 parts, and the other 2 parts are for sugar."

"No, I don't want it. I just helped with some simple tasks. How can I get a share?" Sugar quickly waved her hand to refuse.

"This is what you deserve. You should be rewarded for your efforts." Shen Qin said to her, and then turned his attention to Diluk. "And regarding the price of this bionic prosthesis, I hope it can be as low as possible. It is different from a flying skateboard. It is more like a public welfare product. The purpose of my research and development is to enable more disabled people to return to normal life. They cannot afford a price that is too high."

"Makes sense." Diluk said without hesitation. "I think this is a good business strategy. The flying skateboard has increased our popularity, and the bionic limbs are used to build word of mouth. Although the short-term profit is not as high as the skateboard, it is beneficial in the long run. New products released later, including the flying skateboard, will all benefit from it."

Kaeya supported his forehead with his hand and sighed, Shen Qin turned his back and smiled secretly, and Qin also looked at Diluk with a smile.

Oh, this double-faced man, seemingly talking about interests all the time, but in fact he is still thinking about the people of Mondstadt.

Looking at their reactions, he was silent for a moment, trying to save face: "Why, was I wrong?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Shen Qin responded.

Diluk glanced at him and felt that he was being sarcastic.

Shen Qin regained his composure and said, "The way bionic prostheses are sold is different from other products. We need to build an operating room and train a group of alchemists who specialize in implant surgery. The implantation of the prosthetic base and the customization of the prosthesis must be performed in our own operating room."

"At the same time, each prosthesis will be bound to the customer's identity, and no one else can use it at all."

"Huh? Why is that? Isn't this very inconvenient?" Klee made a timely comment.

"It's to ensure that prosthetics are used on people who need them," Kaiya explained. "I think Shen Qin's intention is to put all the operating rights of prosthetics in our own hands. This way, we can easily verify whether the customers really need prosthetics. This also prevents them from installing prosthetics for customers and then removing them and selling them to middlemen at high prices."

Never underestimate the temptation of Mora to people. If a person spends half of his savings to install a prosthetic body, but a middleman buys it for twice or even higher price, what choice will this person make?

Should they dismantle the prosthesis and make a fortune, or should they stay the course? Many people will certainly choose to make a fortune, and at worst return to a disabled life, since they have already gotten through all that time.

To go a step further, what if there are evil people who specifically target people with prosthetic bodies, regardless of whether they live or die, and steal their prosthetic bodies to sell?

"Yes, the market for prosthetics must always be under our control. This is not only related to our interests, but also to the interests of disabled people."

Simply put, selling prostheses at low prices is equivalent to doing charity, which can ensure that disabled people can use prostheses at relatively low prices. However, once the market is opened, profit-seeking businessmen will drive up the prices of prostheses, making it impossible for many disabled people to afford them.

After some discussion, they decided to distribute the profits in the ratio of Shen Qin four, Sugar two, Dawn Winery three, and the Knights Order one. At the same time, 10% of the profits of the Knights Order would be used to subsidize the citizens of Mondstadt who purchased prosthetic bodies.

Serius also signed an agreement with Diluk, under which the Adventurer's Association will be supplied with half of the production line of bionic prostheses.

The final price is 100,000 Mora for each prosthetic hand and foot, and 50,000 Mora for each pair of prosthetic eyes and ears. Customers can choose between fully implantable or externally wearable prosthetic eyes and ears.

Shatang is responsible for training alchemists to perform implant surgeries, Shen Qin is responsible for training alchemists to make prosthetics, Chenxi Winery is responsible for equipping the production lines and operating rooms, and the Knights of Favonius are responsible for protecting them.

The money they made this time was actually very little, and the Knights even lost money, but everyone's enthusiasm was very high.

In Shen Qin’s words, we are not making money, we are accomplishing a great cause to benefit the people!

Chicken soup is old fashioned, but it works.

While they were preparing for this work, Seleus took Old Sam around the city to publicize it. They did this work completely voluntarily in order to let more disabled people know that their chance to return to normal life had come.

"It's impossible. How could there really be such a magical alchemy?"

"Really? I saw with my own eyes that old Sam from the Adventurer's Guild, whose legs were broken, stood up with this bionic prosthesis! Now he can run and jump, and his two prosthetic feet are more powerful than his two hands!"

"Don't disbelieve me, the inventor of this prosthesis is the same genius alchemist who invented the flying skateboard. If he can make something as amazing as a flying skateboard, how come he can't make a prosthesis?"

At a bionic prosthesis promotion conference on the other side of Mondstadt, a little boy watched Old Sam showing off his prosthetic foot on the stage, looked down at the flyer in his hand, his face full of excitement, and ran home.

"Grandma! Grandma! Your foot can be cured!"

Chapter 36 Bloom Again Like a Cecilia Flower

"Hey, grandson, run slower, run slower."

Grandma Dorothy sat in a wicker chair and watched her grandson Jay rush into the yard.

"Grandma, your leg can be cured!"

Jay put the flyer in front of his grandmother and pointed at the big words on it: "Look, it says that no matter if your hands or feet are broken, they can connect something called bionic prosthesis to your body, and then they can replace your hands and feet. In other words, as long as grandma connects a pair of legs, she can dance like before!"

"Silly child, there is no such magical thing in the world." Dorothy took the flyer and looked at it over the top of her reading glasses. "My goodness, this is just as good as the truth!"

"Oh, grandma, don't disbelieve me. This is the personal guarantee from President Serius of the Adventurer's Guild. I even saw the lame Grandpa Sam running and jumping on the stage!"

"I don't believe it, they must be trying to cheat you out of your money." Dorothy shook her head and handed the flyer back to him. "You better be careful. Last time I heard someone say that if you drink that bottle of medicine, your grandma's leg will be healed. But it turned out to be a bottle of sugar water, and you drank it all. How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It tastes good!" Jay immediately shook his head as soon as he said that. "Oh! Grandma, don't you want to dance anymore? Let's try it this time! It will be on sale tomorrow, let's go and have a look then!"

"Grandma is old and can't dance anymore. Even if her legs are not broken, she can't dance anymore." Dorothy leaned back in her chair, her eyes flashing with nostalgia.

The next morning, Dorothy was awakened by a loud noise. She opened her eyes and saw Jay leading a stranger in a white coat and a white hat into the room. There was a red cross on the man's pure white coat.

"Grandma, I asked someone to show you your legs?" Jay said excitedly.

"Hello, I am a staff member of the Bionic Prosthetics Project Team of Dawn Winery. This is a certificate issued by the Knights of Favonius, and this is my project team identification document." The man handed her two certificates.

"This..." Dorothy was still sleepy and was a little dazed by the combination of punches. She looked at the certificate and found that it did have the seal of the Knights of Favonius.

"Our bionic prostheses are certified by the Knights of Favonius, and we are also working under the guidance of the Knights of Favonius. You can rest assured about this. Next, let me learn about the condition of your legs?"

"well……"

After checking the condition of Dorothy's legs, the staff immediately took out a document and asked, "Is Roberta Bessie your son? Is Omar Carpenter your daughter-in-law?"

"No, no." Dorothy waved her hands. "Omar is my son, and Roberta is my daughter-in-law."

The staff member smiled and said, "Okay, your situation is true and your identity has been confirmed. According to the regulations of our project team, the family members of the sacrificed Knights of Favonius can enjoy the prosthetic body replacement service free of charge, and all expenses will be borne by the Knights."

"What do you mean?" Dorothy was still a little confused.

"Grandma, you just need to change your prosthetic body without Mora!" Jay, who was standing next to her, thought quickly and said happily.

"Is there such a good thing?" Dorothy became a little alert. "You are not kidding me! What are you trying to trick me with? We don't have anything at home!"

The staff member was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he went out.

"Grandma! Why don't you believe it? You don't believe others, but you don't believe me either? Now everyone in the city is talking about bionic prostheses. Everyone knows that it was invented by a genius alchemist. If it was fake, would they dare to be so blatant?" Jay was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"It's just, it's just...how could such a good thing happen? Even if it did, it would never happen to me." She closed her eyes, thinking of her sacrificed son and daughter-in-law, little Jay who had lost his parents, and her own legs that were broken by illness and could no longer dance. Tears flowed out of her eyes unknowingly.

"Grandma, grandma."

Dorothy opened her eyes and saw a shining little girl sitting beside the bed and calling her.

"You are, you are Miss Barbara!" she said in surprise.

She had seen this idol, who was loved by all Monds, from afar. When Barbara jumped on the stage, she was reminded of herself when she was young.

"Grandma, listen to me, bionic prostheses are real, and it's also true that you don't have to spend any money..." Barbara held her wrinkled hands affectionately.

After Barbara's explanation, she finally put aside her doubts and was carried to a ward on a stretcher by two staff members on flying skateboards. Sharing the room with her were a young woman with a broken right hand and a blind woman, who spent 60,000 and 30,000 Mora respectively to be admitted.

The drama says that this is because they are from Mondstadt and receive subsidies from the Knights Templar, otherwise there would be more Moras to install prosthetic limbs.

On the evening of the day she was admitted to the ward, staff members wearing white coats came to measure some of their body data.

The blind woman was taken for surgery the next day. That afternoon she returned happily with a pair of prosthetic eyes that allowed her to see, and packed up her things to leave.

The young woman with a broken right hand passed away on the third day with her intact right hand, which made Dorothy more eager to have her turn soon.

On the fourth day, a staff member came and took her to the operating room. When she regained consciousness, she found herself lying back in the ward.

With Jay's support, she stood tremblingly on the clean floor of the ward. Although she was still unsteady, she did stand up.

On the fifth day, Dorothy and Jay, who were able to walk normally with their legs, left the ward and prepared to go home.

On the way, they passed a small square where a young girl was singing and dancing, and the onlookers cheered.

Dorothy paused.
