Start with a blacksmith shop

When the plane was transferred away, he was in his workshop, tinkering with materials that could be used later.

Since he started high-level materials, his life has become busy again, but it has not disrupted his life.

While he was getting the materials, he was also thinking about things in his own life. He and Li Yun had received their marriage certificates for a long time, but they had never gone to the wedding.

Suddenly I felt as if I owed her something. Although the marriage certificate was more convincing than anything else, without going through the ceremony, I always felt like there was something missing.

Just as he was thinking about it, the computer in front of him made a beeping alarm sound. Then he came back to his senses and hurriedly clicked on the computer a few times. The reactor next to him stopped heating.

When he came to the slowly cooling reactor, he made up his mind on the way there. When he finished the prosthetic limb project, he would give Li Yun an explanation.

The flexible composite alloy material was prepared by him in the laboratory. There was not much material in this furnace, and the amount was just enough for his early experiments.

At this stage, it is enough for him to conduct experiments. This flexible material is the last one before he starts work. As long as this material is ready, the follow-up work can already begin.

The first thing he has to do now is to find an animal with missing arms and legs, and then conduct sufficient experiments on the animal. Only after he has achieved success on the animal will he apply for human experiments.

Although he had used his own body as a guinea pig in the virtual laboratory, no one knew about it in reality.

Moreover, experiments on human bodies can be regarded as clinical trials. This requires surgery on the patient before the prosthetic limb can be installed on the human body.

The process in between is very cumbersome, and it doesn't mean that you just start when you want to. Even if it is experimented on animals, there are regulations.

Animal experiments also require ethical approval. Without such approval, it is also illegal to conduct animal experimental research without permission.

You must know that Professor He has just been released not long ago. Although Li Zhenhua is only working on human prostheses and cannot keep up with Professor He's gene-edited babies, we still need to be cautious.

Some things are bottom lines and red lines that cannot be broken through. The serious consequences of such breakthroughs will endanger the stability of the entire society.

Fortunately, what he is currently conducting is only animal experiments, and the project he is doing is to replace missing human tissue, so there is not much of an ethical problem.

With the endorsement of the Nine Provinces mythical beasts, he quickly approved the animal experiments, and now what he is looking for are disabled animals missing arms and legs.

For this kind of animal, there are several requirements. First, in terms of size, it must be as large as possible, and it should be as close to the human body as possible.

The second is that in terms of structure, it must be close to the human body structure, so that it can be transformed into human experiments in the later stage.

The third is the requirement for missing limbs, preferably those with a heavy proportion, which is also beneficial to the later testing of prosthetics.

He sent these requirements to Liu Xiaodong and asked him to search for animals missing arms and legs according to these conditions.

Liu Xiaodong has been living a very comfortable life recently, because his good brother and big boss has been very honest recently and has not made any big moves.

He also took advantage of Li Zhenhua's downtime to take a good rest, but before he could enjoy the tranquility of the test drive, he suddenly received a message from him.

He looked at the messages received on his phone with some confusion, and scratched his head in confusion. He felt that he was about to have a hard time again.

‘This is nothing! There are as many animals with missing arms and legs, preferably mammals. This is because the company is quitting and planning to open an animal rescue center! ’

Liu Xiaodong secretly complained to Li Zhenhua, but he had no choice but to ask someone to be the big boss?

Moreover, the company's development to this point can be said to be entirely dependent on its products and its R\u0026D capabilities, so if you are asked to look for it, then look for it.

Li Zhenhua continued to study the theoretical aspects of prosthetics in the workshop, while Liu Xiaodong took action and began to search for disabled animals throughout the county.

When it comes to which animals are the most common these days, they have to be cats and dogs. This is entirely due to the pet factor of these two animals.

They are all pets, how can they still have disabilities? This is about abandoned pets, so it is very simple to find abandoned stray pet cats and dogs in the city.

Liu Xiaodong first went to the law enforcement brigade. This department is responsible for the problem of stray cats and dogs in the first place, so it is important to find the right professional counterpart.

Sure enough, after he raised the need for such cats and dogs, the law enforcement brigade immediately became enthusiastic, entirely because they did not have a good way to deal with stray dogs and cats.

In particular, some cats and dogs are still carrying diseases, and even stray cats and dogs may fight for territory and get injured in fights. If they are not treated in time, they may die at any time or place.

Soon the law enforcement brigade took action, and the dog-catching car immediately drove onto the street. A search was started throughout the county, and soon all the disabled cats and dogs wandering around the city were gathered at the law enforcement brigade.

The number has gradually exceeded fifty. There are all kinds of dogs and cats, large and small, exotic and local.

When the law enforcement brigade sent all the cats and dogs, the scene made Li Zhenhua, who was concentrating on the study, a little dumbfounded. The sound of cats meowing and dogs barking filled his mind.

He didn't expect that he just sent the request to Liu Xiaodong, and the other party was able to get him so many animals. His initial idea was that he only needed about five or six animals for experiments.

He never thought that there would be so many disabled animals, and in his eyes, these animals were only functional, and the most qualified ones should be human beings' close relatives - chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees are the most ideal animals for this experiment, followed by pigs, and then pigs, because chimpanzees are hard to find after all, so the most similar genetically to humans, besides chimpanzees, is pigs.

Chimpanzees are 99% genetically similar to humans, followed by pigs at 97%.

Although pigs are artiodactyls and are different from humans, they can still be used to a certain extent.

Looking at the fifty cats and dogs gathered in front of him, he suddenly felt a headache. There were really too many of them, and he had no choice but to pull aside the proud Liu Xiaodong.

"I said, Fatty, what you did this time was really neat, but the only shortcoming is that you were too quick.

The amount you got me is really too much, but I still have to thank you.

Also, don’t stop the follow-up work, but I don’t need dogs and cats anymore. You can find a way to get me a chimpanzee, which is a human animal anyway.

Oh, by the way, it has to be disabled, preferably missing an arm. "

Liu Xiaodong was originally very happy to bring over the disabled cats and dogs, but as he finished speaking, he knew that he seemed to have something to do again.

And we also got a message from his words, that is, the number of these cats and dogs seemed to be too many.

In fact, Liu Xiaodong's big fat head is also very confused now. He doesn't know or understand what he wants to do, and why he has to have disabled cats and dogs, and he also emphasizes disability.

While looking at him with some doubts, there was also curiosity on his face. Looking at Liu Xiaodong who was giving him such a look, he knew that he should explain it clearly to Liu Xiaodong, otherwise Liu Xiaodong wouldn't know where to exert force.

"Fat man, please wait a moment. Let's go to the office to talk. Now go and send the people from the law enforcement brigade away. Also, we've had enough of these disabled cats and dogs. Don't let the law enforcement brigade send them away anymore.

If another batch is sent, our company will not be closed, and we will really have to switch to an animal rescue center! "

Liu Xiaodong nodded to him, and then came to the law enforcement brigade to chat.

Soon the law enforcement brigade was sent away by Liu Xiaodong, and they both returned to the office. Before Liu Xiaodong could sit down, he couldn't wait to ask Li Zhenhua.

"Brother, what are you doing? Can you please tell me something? This is really suffocating me.

If this thing involves any secrets, then just pretend I didn’t say anything! "

Seeing Liu Xiaodong's anxious and puzzled expression, he didn't hesitate and explained the reason directly to him.

"That's the thing. I was wondering whether powered exoskeletons could be developed in the civilian market.

So after thinking about it, I really found a development direction, which is advanced bionic prosthetics, a project specially developed to solve the problem of disabled people.

And I feel that this project will definitely have great development prospects in the future.

So what will be carried out at this stage is experiments on animals. That's why I need these animals with missing arms and legs. They are actually used as experimental materials.

And it will eventually be applied to the human body, so you are asked to find human animals, and only in the end will you apply for clinical trials. "

Liu Xiaodong looked at him in disbelief. He really didn't expect that it would be like this. And through Li Zhenhua's narration, he couldn't help but think of a movie called Mechanical Enemy.

One of the arms of the character played by Will Smith in the movie is a bionic robotic arm, and it looks no different from a real human arm.

"Is the project you are talking about the same as the one on Mechanical Enemy? The final effect makes it impossible to tell that it is a mechanical arm!"

After listening to the fat man's words, he really didn't realize that the fat man's head was quite flexible, and he even thought of the mechanical arm on the Mechanical Enemy!

“Yes, it’s a robotic arm with that kind of effect. Although we certainly can’t achieve that level of appearance now, we can still achieve it by making the robotic arm act like an arm.

Therefore, the prospects of this project are very good, and it can also be said to be good news for some disabled people. That’s why I asked you to search for such disabled animals and conduct prosthetic limb experiments. "

After listening to his explanation, Liu Xiaodong's face also became full of smile. If it can be successfully developed, it will be really good news for the disabled people who are missing arms and legs around the world.

Although the cost of building the robotic arm must be high at the beginning, who can say clearly about the subsequent development?

In short, in Liu Xiaodong's view, this project is of great value to Yuanda, both in terms of prospects and financial prospects.

Of course, he also received his own task from Li Zhenhua, which can be regarded as a contribution to this project, although it is the job of finding experimental subjects for the project.

After chatting with Liu Xiaodong, he built a large kennel and cat nest complex using color steel and other new materials outside the original workshop.

The fifty disabled cats and dogs sent by the law enforcement brigade also found a home with the Jiuzhou mythical beasts. However, if these fifty animals are brought together, it will be a big problem in terms of feeding, not to mention that these animals are all disabled. .

But it was a coincidence that one of Ning Wei and the others happened to have raised military dogs before when he was in the army, so his six bodyguards had another job on weekdays.

The prosthetic limb project continued according to normal procedures with the arrival of cats and dogs. Since Li Zhenhua had fifty test subjects, subsequent animal experiments also began.

First of all, among the fifty cats and dogs, a dog was selected that was in the best physical condition, but had the most missing limbs and was larger in size. The breed was not a precious breed, but a relatively famous thin dog in Dongshan.

Dongshan thin dog is a unique dog breed in Shuicheng and Liangshan areas. It has a history of more than 2,000 years and is an excellent hunting dog. However, the one selected by Li Zhenhua is not particularly pure. It is similar to the Chinese pastoral dog. Miscellaneous strings.

This dog can be said to be quite strong. Its front leg has been crushed and fractured, and there is no possibility of recovery. The way this dog usually moves is to lift the injured front leg and use the other three Legs to move.

After he selected the dog as his primary target, he immediately used an X-ray machine to conduct a comprehensive examination, which could be said to be more detailed than a human physical examination.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Who makes him extremely unclear about the structure of dogs now?

If he was asked to directly get a prosthetic limb for a person now, it would certainly not be difficult for him, but if the object was a dog, he would still have to understand its internal structure from scratch, and fortunately, it would not deviate from its origins.

While he was studying the structure of the injured front leg of the current dog, Liu Xiaodong left Summer Town and began to wander around major zoos and circuses across the country.

Its targets are only injured and disabled hominids, including but not limited to chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.

And when he visited various zoos, he also took Wang Mei with him, so he could have both work and fun.

Speaking of these zoos, they are actually not much different. They are all the same model and routine. The difference is only a matter of size.

Liu Xiaodong and Wang Mei were particularly interested in going to the zoo at first, but as they went more often, they got a little bored.

In the following time, the two of them no longer had the intention to see various animals. They only wanted to find the right animal and go back to do business.
