Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 922 New Perspective

To be honest, Liu Xiang's eloquence is not very good and it took him a long time to talk about one thing.

Or it could be said that few athletes are particularly eloquent, as most of them spend the most critical period of youth character formation in isolation and training.

However, Zhou Rui still roughly understood the purpose of the few people's visit and said, "I understand. The electrode acupuncture rehabilitation technology was indeed invented by me. It is a weakened version of a higher-level technology."

Zhan Shangwen immediately grasped the key point: "Weakened version? Such a powerful thing?"

"Yes. Whether it's the intensity of stimulation, the duration of a single session, or even the restrictions on the body parts, they are all designed specifically for the 'Rehabilitation Department'. After all, most of the patients there are in very poor condition, so you have to be careful. The effect is probably less than one-fifth of the original."

one fifth?

Several people looked at each other.

How exaggerated would the complete version be? Could it be able to directly defeat Captain America?
This thing cannot be quantified, and they have no idea about it. They only know that it took Liu Xiang just over two months to recover from his injuries to his athlete's level.

Zhan Shangwen said, "Academician Zhou, does this technology have any side effects? Its effect is so good that we feel it is unreal after several discussions."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "You can think of it as a kind of acupuncture. There are no side effects. At most, the digestive system will be more active. As long as there is no specific underlying disease, such as heart disease, there will be no problem."

“Why not heart disease?”

Zhou Rui thought about it and found a photo of the Xionggui Road Fire Station. There were about thirty muscular men standing in a row. It was a group photo when they won the national championship in the Firefighting Skills Competition. He sent a copy to Zhou Rui.

"Because long-term use will lead to heart disease and some underlying diseases, which cannot support such a large body size."

Zhan Shangwen's eyes popped out.
All we can say is that information has a "wall". In fact, the "Overlord Project" has already started its second round of spread in the fire protection system, with 20 brigades involved in the first phase of the pilot program nationwide.

This is also a subsidiary business of Lingshu Bio. Of course, the main focus is still on Compound No. 1 and hibernation virus.

Zhou Rui did not deliberately hide the information, but no one, including Zhongshan Hospital, the military, and the fire department, took the initiative to publicize it. Some did so out of medical caution, while others felt that there was no need to make it public.

People like Zhan Shangwen who are involved in sports are relatively isolated from the news. There are not many things related to them in society, and most of their energy is focused on the sports world.

After Zhan Shangwen confirmed again and again that these burly men who looked like they could beat Captain America to the point of singing "Conquer" were once just firefighters of normal build, he was somewhat speechless.

"This kind of technology, Academician Zhou, why don't you think of combining it with sports?"

Zhou Rui told the truth: "Oh, because I don't have time."

Zhan Shangwen opened his mouth:
It seems to make sense.

------

Zhou Rui spent his first day of vacation at work again. He left the Wanhu base in the morning and was still in the smart building when it was almost dark.

The "Ba Wang Plan" was not promoted to the sports world in the early days. In addition to the truth that "there is no time" as Zhou Rui said, there are some other reasons. That is, sports, like the military, do not blindly pursue "big muscles".

Even excessively improved physical fitness will in turn hinder skills and experience.

Can you imagine Ma Long playing table tennis with arms that are thicker than his legs?

Even for strength-based events, few require full-body strengthening.

But now, with the separated "electrode acupuncture rehabilitation technology", it is much easier to operate.

At the very least, it is also an efficient means of recovery.

The "Ba Wang Project" was not top secret, especially the "Electrode Acupuncture Rehabilitation Technology" which was a semi-public business. Zhou Rui did not play tricks and provided a relatively rough document to the State Sports Administration.

Zhan Shangwen and the rehabilitation experts he brought were about to start a discussion on the spot. Zhou Rui gave them a tea room on the side, and he went to discuss other work with Gan Yuan.

An hour later, when I came out of the lounge, I saw the "Asian Flying Man" standing at the door in a daze.

Zhou Rui went over and said hello: "Why did you come out?"

Liu Xiang wiped his face and said tiredly, "I feel dizzy after talking so much. I came out to take a breath."

He didn't dare to walk around this huge office which took up almost an entire floor, so he just stood there stupidly at the door.

Zhou Rui pointed to a place not far away and said, "There is a cigar room over there. Let's go sit over there."

Liu Xiang subconsciously said: "I don't smoke."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "I don't smoke either, I just want to sit for a while."

In the cigar room, Zhou Rui poured a glass of water for Liu Xiang.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious about you. I've often heard news about you since I was in middle school or elementary school. At that time, the school even organized a competition for us to watch."

Talking about these things, Zhou Rui also fell into memories. For a reborn person, those were extremely distant things.

Fifteen years passed from junior high school to his rebirth, and another seven years passed after his rebirth. These were the memories of more than twenty years ago.

"I remember that our school didn't have hurdles at all. Not long after you won the championship in Athens, the school bought some and let the sports students practice. But it didn't last long. It's a small county school."

By analogy, the national sensation caused by Liu Xiang's victory in 04 was no less than any of Zhou Rui's achievements. On the streets and alleys, from the elderly to young children, everyone knew who "Liu Xiang" was.

Zhou Rui vaguely remembered that he seemed to have shouted shameful words such as "I am Liu Xiang!" when he was running home after school.

Well, there is no way he would mention this in front of me.

That was a special event that bore the mark of the times. What Liu Xiang carried on his shoulders was not just the Olympic gold medal, it was much heavier than that.

Talking about the honors he received back then, Liu Xiang was not very happy, but rather a little bitter: "It's a bit too much for me. I'm just an ordinary athlete."

Zhou Rui: "I heard that you have cured many injuries through 'electrode acupuncture rehabilitation technology'. Are you planning to return to the court?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiang answered decisively: "No, I reported it just to help more athletes. I have actually retired. Even if I have recovered from the disease, I have not participated in any training or competition for more than a year. I am already 33."

After saying this, Liu Xiang shook his head, seemingly mocking himself, and said, "Besides, no one would want to see me on the field again, or I would be scolded again."

Zhou Rui recalled the turmoil surrounding the "Asian Flying Man" back then.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, you know, we were relatively innocent in those years. I mean the people of the whole country."

Liu Xiang didn't know what Master Zhou meant.

Zhou Rui spread his hands and said, "If it were in this era, do you know what my first reaction would be?"

"What?" "Someone is setting the pace."

Liu Xiang opened his mouth
"Believe me, I am very familiar with this. When I recall many bad social events in the early years, especially those that were criticized harshly and whose impact was inexplicably magnified, I always feel that they are similar. It's just that no one had this concept back then."

"Whoever is a hero should be scolded. Whoever is scolded should be made to look like a hero. That's basically how it works."

Liu Xiang pursed his lips and had to say that what Master Zhou said was indeed a completely new perspective.

After being cyberbullied for so many years, he has actually reconciled with himself and used his own way
Reconciliation means no longer obsessing or actively thinking.

I have accepted it as an inseparable part of my life.

"I'm not a hero, I'm just an athlete. It's true that I've disappointed everyone."

Just as he was about to say something else, the lounge where Zhan Shangwen was in the distance was pushed open. It seemed that the few people had already discussed the result.

The brief exchange between Zhou Rui and Liu Xiang also ended here.

After that, the two sides communicated for a long time. Thanks to Zhan Shangwen's high level, many things could be decided on the spot.

This is also the reason why the director in charge of national competitive sports made the trip in person.

The Rio Olympics will begin in two months. For the Sports Bureau, it has even entered the final preparation stage. If it wants to make reasonable use of "electrode acupuncture technology", it must make a quick decision.

Zhou Rui is not particularly interested in supporting China's sports industry, but he is definitely not opposed to it. He naturally would not send it when he couldn't get in touch with them, but since they have been contacted, it would be nice to help out.

Zhou Rui said that dozens of sets of "electrode acupuncture equipment" could be provided to help Olympic athletes "maintain their condition and treat injuries."

Forget about the money, just consider it as a show of support. This thing is not for sale and there is no way to put a price on it.

Don’t underestimate the role of these eight words “maintain condition, treat injuries”. Even if “electrode acupuncture” does not enhance physical fitness in the slightest, it is enough to significantly improve the level of the entire delegation.

Who among those who do sports doesn’t have old injuries?
In competitive sports, it all depends on that 0.01 second. Whoever is in the best condition will win.

The best part is that the "electrode acupuncture technology" is not afraid of various inspections. Just like cupping and massage, no one can say anything and the urine test can be passed easily.

No matter what other countries' "asthma dream teams" do, China has always been extremely strict in this regard.

As for the complete version of technology like that of firefighters, out of caution, Zhan Shangwen did not dare to ask for it.

If he had four full years to prepare, he would really like to give it a try, but there are only two months, so he shouldn't take a big step.

Zhou Rui will also send some Lingshu Bio employees who are familiar with "electrode acupuncture technology" to assist, so he doesn't have to worry about the details.

Zhan Shangwen returned the favor and said that the Olympic delegation could give Kaiming Smart sponsor treatment and try to expose it as much as possible without affecting existing sponsors.

Zhou Rui didn't pay much attention to such a trivial matter.

When he left, Zhan Shangwen was full of ambition, as Chinese sports were already in the top tier in the world!

Isn't this going to sweep the world? What a sight it would be to be number one on the gold medal list.

If Zhou Rui knew he was thinking this way, he would advise him not to force it.

If you are first on the gold medal list, others will be ranked on the silver medal list.

The silver medal list is not dominant, they will be ranked on the medal list.

--------

It was already eight or nine o'clock when the Sports Bureau team left the Smart Building.

The Master Zhou declined the invitation to have dinner together, saying that he had an appointment to play cards with someone in the evening and was already late.

However, for them, the results of this trip were still extremely gratifying.

"You know what, this Academician Zhou is really extraordinary. He is so young and so powerful."

"Otherwise why call him Master Zhou?"

In the car driving out of the Smart Building, everyone else was having a heated discussion, only Liu Xiang was sitting in the back seat, looking out the window in silence.

Suddenly, a nimble figure ran past the roadside and flew over the green belt in one stride.

His movements actually have some shadows of professional hurdles.

The face was unfamiliar, and he was wearing a baseball cap, but his figure was a bit like the Master Zhou from before. Hmm, I must be dazzled.

The other party must be doing something very urgent, Liu Xiang thought.

Liu Xiang's thoughts gradually drifted away, and a noisy sound seemed to appear in his ears.
"Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang!"

"I want to let the world know that yellow people are no worse than white people or black people, and can also become track and field champions!"

"I want to thank my country, my coach and the countless people who support me. They gave me strength."

The thunderous cheers seemed to merge with the sound of the car engine; the car was accelerating.

"Swindler! You really bring shame to the Chinese people!"

"What an embarrassing performance! He limped and played the victim, bringing shame to the Olympics!"

"If you're injured, why do you have to play? You just can't bear to spend the advertising money!"

"Once in Beijing and once in London, damn!"

“Athletes trained by the country are like this?”

"I don't want to see this face again. When will he die?"

Until a sudden brake interrupted Liu Xiang's thoughts.

I turned around and looked forward. It was just an ordinary red light and I didn't know why the car stopped so awkwardly.

The driver smiled awkwardly:

“I tried to give it a try, but failed.”
