Chapter 608: Cooperation of the Disabled Persons’ Federation(1/2)
The figure of the takeaway boy who was physically disabled and strong but still running like the wind moved many netizens.
Suddenly, he became an Internet celebrity, and the media rushed to report on his deeds and published news articles one after another.
At the same time, people also discovered that more disabled delivery workers appeared on the Internet.
"I ordered a takeout today. When it was delivered, I opened the door and saw that the takeaway boy had two metal arms. I was stunned for a moment. At that time, I only had one question in my mind. Is Iron Man here to deliver my takeout?"
After the netizen finished speaking, he uploaded two pictures.
On the screen, a delivery boy wearing two metal bionic hands looked at the camera with a smile and made a heart sign with his hands.
"Haha, me too. But I met another Iron Man. I live on the 7th floor. The elevator is broken and has not been repaired. I am used to waiting, but today the takeout was delivered very quickly. When I opened the door, I saw
The delivery boy had two prosthetic legs, and I was shocked at the time."
"The delivery boy said that this prosthetic leg is very good. It can climb stairs very fast and does not fall down when going downstairs. He also demonstrated to me on the spot a reversal run. There is a video with the truth."
This netizen uploaded a video of a guy wearing yellow delivery clothes, with both lower legs equipped with silver-gray prosthetics.
But this is not the common prosthetic leg made of a steel rod, but a pair of full and slender calves. Ignoring the color of the metal, the lines of the entire leg are very smooth, and they look inexplicably harmonious.
The young man smiled and waved in front of the camera, looking very happy. Then he turned around, sprinted forward, and ran seven or eight meters away in the corridor. At the end, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and ran back quickly.
The two metal prosthetic legs crossed and moved forward at an incredible speed, creating the feeling of a black whirlwind.
Every sudden stop and turn was so natural and smooth, without any feeling of lag, as if those two legs naturally grew on my body.
Seeing such a picture, netizens in front of the screen took a breath of air.
"Awesome! I seemed to see a gust of wind."
"Oh my god, am I dazzled? I actually saw an afterimage."
"You should check for presbyopia upstairs. This guy is very fast, but not that fast."
"Even this is very impressive. It should be the limit of running for ordinary people, but this was actually done by a disabled person."
"My physical fitness is very good, but what's even better is the two prosthetic legs, which are much better than ordinary prostheses."
"Yes, my uncle is a disabled person. He is missing a leg. After wearing the prosthesis, it is very difficult to go up and down the stairs. Especially when going down the stairs, he has to walk sideways step by step. It is definitely not so natural."
"It looks like a foreign bionic prosthetic leg, but that thing is very expensive. Two legs require at least one apartment in a third-tier city. How can a delivery boy afford it?"
"If you can afford it, you won't come here to deliver food. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home? It must be sponsored. I seriously suspect that this video is a soft advertisement for a prosthetic company."
"Is your brain broken upstairs? Do you know how poor the disabled are? They can't find a job at all, and they can hardly live anymore. How can you still have money to buy hundreds of thousands of prosthetics? Companies are losing money and making money, right?"
"Yes, if you want to sponsor, you should also look for athletes from the Paralympic Games. Delivery workers are all low-level workers, so the target group is wrong. Isn't it crazy to advertise with them?"
"Perhaps it is to show the adaptability of prosthetic limbs in complex urban environments."
"No matter how complex the urban environment is, rich people who can afford hundreds of thousands of prosthetics will never experience it."
"Fart, after spending so much money, I naturally want the strongest performance. I don't have to experience it, but you can't live without it."
After netizens posted the video, they saw the quarrel in the comments and quickly posted another video to explain.
"Family members, I didn't make it clear just now. In fact, this delivery boy participated in the company's trial and was able to experience such high-tech bionic legs for free."
"As for this company, I also asked about it. It is the famous Sanqing Group."
"Last year, Sanqing launched a brain-computer interface product, which became popular in the e-sports circle and benefited many high-level paraplegic patients. It shows that Sanqing has strong technical strength. Now it has further developed bionic prosthetics, which is really normal."
"If you have any questions, you can ask Sanqing for confirmation. Please don't leave ginseng cock in the comment area. Thank you!"
As soon as these words came out, netizens instantly became excited.
"Sanqing, it is indeed Sanqing. Why am I not surprised at all?"
"Some people say that only foreign countries can have bionic legs with this technology. Now you are dumbfounded, wl."
"When you say it's Sanqing, it makes sense."
"If we must find a company that can develop bionic prosthetics, it is undoubtedly Sanqing."
"After watching the video, I feel a little envious for no reason. My real legs can't run so fast."
"I just want to ask, has Sanqing ever considered producing a prosthetic limb for normal people?"
"Upstairs, is this prosthetic leg you're talking about serious?"
"Are there any unreasonable prosthetic limbs? I'm sorry upstairs."
"Is there anything serious or not? The person upstairs is probably a shemale who wants to have fun and needs an indescribable prosthetic leg."
"Damn, you guys are still having fun. Why don't I have such a rich imagination?"
"I often feel out of place because I'm not perverted enough."
As netizens talked about it, the painting style changed suddenly and skewed in a strange direction.
However, there are also normal netizens, most of whom have disabled people at home. After learning the news, they immediately called Sanqing’s customer service number and asked about the prosthetic limbs.
Not long after, Sanqing officials officially announced the news of bionic limbs online, and even disclosed the price.
A bionic hand with a neural machine interface costs between 60,000 and 100,000, depending on the missing limb.
Bionic legs with the same functions cost RMB 30,000 to RMB 60,000 for basic models, and there are also high-end models. For additional money, you can customize a variety of functions in depth.
Payment can be made in installments, ranging from 3 to 5 years, up to ten years.
At the same time, a test video was also released, fully demonstrating the various functions of the bionic prosthetic limb.
Wearing prosthetic limbs, disabled people can go up mountains and rivers, climb mountains and rocks, run, long jump, swim and surf. They can do almost anything and are almost indistinguishable from normal human bodies.
This video made all netizens dazzled and yearned for it.
Some imaginative netizens have begun to discuss whether some magical functions can be added to prosthetics.
"It's so cool. If I wear Sanqing's bionic hand, I will definitely install a light, a built-in electronic watch, and a charging function to wirelessly charge my mobile phone."
"Your imagination only goes so far. If it were me, I would equip the bionic arm with a small drone. Imagine stretching out your hand, a cover on the arm slowly opens, and then a drone flies.
When it comes out, this scene is pretty cool."
"Why don't you say add a rocket launcher to your arm?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I have to carry it abroad. I can't even imagine how many weapons a bionic hand and a bionic leg can carry."
"Have you ever thought about it, if this is the case, the weight will be overwhelming, and will you still be able to walk?"
"I estimated that the drone plus the pistol and bullets, plus the weight of the arm itself, would be at least 5 kilograms. If it weren't for Schwarzenegger, you might as well give up on this idea."
"Damn it, I don't believe that I am 1.8 meters tall and have a body of tendons, but I can't carry a 10-pound bionic hand."
"I'm different from you. I just want to modify it and make an Iron Man-themed prosthetic limb. The function may or may not be strong, but it must not be cool."
"I thought it would be more practical. I could put my phone in it, so I no longer have to worry about losing it, and I don't have to take it out of my trouser pocket. I can just put it in when I'm working, and take it out when I want to use it."
"This is possible. You can put the screen on the back of your hand and the camera on your finger. The arm can also be made into a retractable mode and used as a selfie stick, and then the other hand can be operated. It will definitely be very convenient."
"The idea is great. Maybe you can ask Sanqing to authorize you to modify the arm. It might be a way to make money."
"Although amputation is an extremely painful thing, the addition of high-tech elements seems to make the wearer's life easier. Perhaps this is the ultimate meaning of technological development."
"It also has something to do with the current social climate. People are becoming more and more tolerant of some personal things. This may be because we are lucky to live in this era."

Sioux City, Disabled Persons' Federation Rehabilitation Center.
A prosthetic fitting event for disabled people with the theme of "Love is No Barrier" is being held here.
The event hall is very spacious, nearly two hundred square meters.
On the other side of the window is a place for disabled people to practice walking and undergo rehabilitation training.
On the green track, a disabled man with a skeletal prosthetic leg was holding on to the stainless steel railings on both sides, trying to walk with difficulty.
There was a staff member standing next to him, patiently guiding the disabled person’s movements and gait.
The whole picture is joyful and harmonious.
At the other end is a small conference room, where fifty or sixty disabled people are sitting in wheelchairs or on plastic chairs. They all hold their breath and listen intently to the people on the stage.
Liang Kai was the person in charge of this activity of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation. He stood on the podium and introduced the content of the activity impassionedly.
"I have gathered everyone together this time, mainly to tell everyone good news."
"The Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation has reached a cooperation with Sanqing, which will provide brand-new intelligent bionic prosthetics for the disabled population."
"As we all know, Sanqing Group is a leading company in the medical industry with strong capabilities. It not only has bionic legs but also bionic hands, which can help every disabled person in need stand up, move, better integrate into society, and improve their lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, a video of the test of Sanqing's prosthetics began to play on the screen.
It instantly caused a sensation in the audience.
The disabled people showed shocked expressions on their faces, and began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
"So powerful?"
“Looks like it works great!”
"Then I can stand up and find a job?"
