Chapter 269 Can Take Care of Others Again
The test of the robotic arm lasted for 6 hours. After dinner time, Chen Li installed the battery for Du Fuguo and removed the EGG monitoring circuit, leaving only the control circuit for the robotic arm. The EGG headgear walked out of the ward, and walked to the cafeteria with the support of his girlfriend.

Along the way, patients passing by kept coming to greet him, and some even jokingly said to him that "Old Du has changed his equipment again", but he was not offended by this, and even the smile on his face became more and more brilliant.

Maybe this is what he really wanted.

Treated like an ordinary person.

At the dinner table, the leaders who came to accompany him also ate their own food, and no one deliberately took care of him.

Du Fuguo clumsily holds the spoon with his new robotic arm, but he often loses the spoon due to unskilled operation. He can already judge whether there is something in his hand skillfully based on the electrical signal feedback. He would fumble for the spoon again.

This kind of action made the mechanical arm full of food oil stains. After wiping it with his left hand, he suddenly asked a little embarrassedly:
"Dr. Chen, do you think this won't work?"

Chen Li looked at his arm, and then explained:

"No, we use alloy materials. You can wash them with dish soap or shower gel when you go back."

"Don't need to take it off? Can I take it with me when I take a shower?"

"It doesn't work now. We haven't done the waterproofing of your battery yet. When it is integrated in the future, you can take a bath with the robotic arm directly."

"how long?"

Du Fuguo asked eagerly.

"A few months, this thing is not difficult to say, simple is not easy, there is still a technical level requirement."

"That's not too late, you should also pay attention to rest, the body is the most important!"

"Don't worry, we will pay attention."

Chen Li replied gently.

The meal was eaten very slowly, and it took more than two hours for everyone to leave. After bidding farewell to Chen Li and his party, Du Fuguo took his girlfriend for a walk in the small square of the hospital. The two walked slowly on the stone road. I am still trying to control my brand new right hand from the factory.

"Do you think I look like RoboCop? The one in that ugly country movie!"

A smug smile appeared on his face, and he already had a somewhat handy posture between flexing and stretching his arms.

"He is a machine all over his body, you only have arms. How about it, is this easy to use?"

"It's easy to use! It's much better than the previous prosthetics, but it's hard to use, really hard to use. Especially the electrodes on the arms, it's too difficult to match them with the fingers. If the brain is not flexible, it's really hard to use." Don't know which is which."

"It would be great if my eyes could see. I heard from Dr. Chen today that if there is visual feedback, the robotic arm will be much smoother to use."

Hearing this, his girlfriend patted his arm lightly and said:

"Didn't Dr. Chen also say that today, they are also doing research in this area, it may take some time. After all, this is the most advanced technology - but he said, like you can see before and then Those who are blind have a much easier time seeing again than those who are born blind."

"You listened carefully, you remember all this."

There was also a smile on the girlfriend's face. She looked at Du Fuguo's face and replied:

"That's right, can I not worry about your affairs?"

Hearing this, Du Fuguo sighed.

"Follow me, let you be wronged."

"How can you not be wronged? Today, that little doctor Zhu said that you are attractive to girls. What's wrong, you didn't listen to that?"

"It's just a courtesy, but you can't take it seriously."

"How is that polite? What he said is sincere, you just don't admit it."

"Damn, I just want to make you like me"

The two talked and laughed all the way, and after walking around the small square, they returned to the small independent apartment arranged for them by the military region.

In the room, his girlfriend helped Du Fuguo remove the mechanical arm according to the operation manual given by Chen Li, and then took the battery to the socket to charge.

"I found that their battery is pretty durable. You've been tossing around for so long, and there's still 98% of the charge—calculated in this way, can it be used for several days after a single charge? The battery of your original prosthesis I can't last a day."

"That's right, I heard that this is also a new achievement. Yoyo, you don't know, we have a lot of new achievements recently, the J-20 aircraft carrier, the H-[-] made its first flight, and then bought a big white goose, what is a big white goose you know?"

"I know, I know, how many times have you said let's go, let's go take a shower, I'll help you wash this robotic arm."

"Okay. Then you remember to dry it, I have to practice later."

"Got it! Go!"

Du Fuguo threw out his sonic blind stick, groped all the way to the closed balcony to take off his clothes, and then walked into the bathroom with the clothes in his arms.

His movements are proficient, except for walking slower, he is almost the same as ordinary people.

Looking at this scene, Yoyo's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of anticipation.

Even if the technology to restore vision that Dr. Chen mentioned does not appear in a short time, it seems that this robotic arm alone will bring great changes to the lives of the two of them, right?

Maybe this day is just around the corner?
Thinking of this, she picked up the not-so-heavy robotic arm and walked into the kitchen, carefully wiping every corner of it with a soft rag under the running water.

This night, Du Fuguo was sitting in the living room practicing his mechanical arm. When he woke up in the middle of the night and walked out of the living room, he was still trying to grab the pen on the table and write on his lap.

Yoyo told him the time and wanted to persuade him to go to bed early, but the other party's answer surprised her.

"Yuyou, it's not that I have to practice at this time, the main thing is that this thing is really fun. To be honest, even if I am a healthy person, if you give me such a mechanical arm, I can play it all night."

"So, leave me alone for the time being, and I will rest when I get tired of playing. Besides, I heard that Dr. Chen and the others are leaving in two days. I have to take advantage of this time to get acquainted with each other and try to get them to leave. I was able to use both robotic arms well before.”

Yoyo glanced at him helplessly, and finally hugged him lightly, then turned and went back to the room.

In the next two days, Du Fuguo practiced his mechanical arm all the time, from the right arm to the left arm at the beginning, from the beginning he could barely control the movement of his fingers, and later he was able to grasp smoothly. His progress was so great that even Chen Li was amazed.

If it continues at this speed, it will probably not take three months, but only one month, and he can make most of the refined operations.

After the last EGG data debugging was completed, Zhu Xuan confirmed that the intelligent system of this robotic arm had been adjusted to the optimum level, so he disconnected the connection with confidence, packed up the extra equipment, and prepared to leave Spring City and return to Yuhang.

Before leaving, Du Fuguo shook hands with the three of them respectively, and Zhu Xuan grinned in pain and said:
"Brother Du! Brother Du! Use less strength! This mechanical arm is designed according to military standards, and the grip strength is no joke!"

Hearing this, Du Fuguo quickly let go of his hand in embarrassment, and then said:

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I was just a little too excited for a while - how do you say this? It's my first handshake? Comrade Xiaoya, didn't the handshake hurt you just now?"

"No, no, you were still very weak when you came here."

Du Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued:
"Dr. Chu, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Zhu, I have been with you for a few days. We have been talking about robotic arms. I have a lot to say, but I haven't found a chance to talk to you."

"You are leaving today, I think, take this opportunity to tell you everything I have to say."

"Of course, we will definitely meet again in the future, but it's better to say some things earlier than later, right?"

After hearing the responses from the three of Chen Li, he continued to speak:
"Three doctors, first of all, I really appreciate you all!"

"Thank you for making such a miraculous thing, so that in my lifetime, I can actually peel a banana for Yoyo by myself—although it is said that the peeling is very ugly."

"It really brought me back a little bit, though."

"When I was in the army, although I was a small soldier, you know, I have always demanded myself according to the leadership's standards."

"I rush to do all kinds of dirty and hard work, not to mention dangerous things."

"It's not because I want to take credit, but mainly because, how should I put it, according to our family's saying, hey, I'm just a bad guy."

"I can't see others suffering, especially when those people are still my best comrades in arms."

"So when I was in Laoshan, whenever there was danger, I rushed to it, and I didn't even let him do it, even the squad leader."

"I still remember one time, we found a booby trap, which was very dangerous. The comrade-in-arms said that the squad leader should come and deal with it. I asked him to call for someone, and then I quietly cleared the mine."

"Do you know what I was thinking at the time? What I was thinking at the time was, hey, as far as the squad leader's skills are concerned, I'm not as good as me, and it's your turn to take care of me?"

"Really, I didn't think about something like 'Leave the danger to me'. What I thought was, I was going to thunder anyway, and there was danger anyway, so why can't I come?"

"That's my idea, it's very simple."

"So, before I had an accident, I was always taking care of others. That's why, after the accident, I couldn't accept being taken care of by others for a long time."

"I want to wash my face, dress myself, take a shower and make my own blanket. But it's really too difficult. It took me two full years to fully learn to do these things."

"Sometimes I even feel very hopeless, thinking that this may be the limit of my life, because in many cases, physical defects are really difficult to break through."

"However, your mechanical arm allowed me to take a big step in three days."

"Actually, I not only peeled bananas for Yoyo yesterday, but at noon today, I went to the store and bought instant noodles in a bucket. I took them home, boiled water, and soaked a bowl of noodles for Yoyo."

"Can you imagine? Before these three days, I really couldn't imagine! I can't even tear open the seasoning packet of instant noodles, there is something wrong with the design of that thing!"

"But now I can."

"I can take care of others again."

"So, I really thank you, thank you scientific researchers, for bringing such a big change to my life and to our people's life."

While speaking, he stood up suddenly, and then leaned his feet together to stand upright.

His left hand was close to his body, and the five fingers of his right mechanical arm were close together. Then, as if he had practiced countless times, he suddenly raised his hand, and saluted Chen Li and the others with a standard military salute.

He lifted his head high and cried out:
"Sergeant Du Fuguo, I salute you!"
