Chapter 224 Mechanical Exoskeleton Modification Completed
Time flies by.
Jiang Chengcheng spent several days in the laboratory at Qingdao University and finally managed to convert the drone into a mechanical exoskeleton. Considering that this thing required a disabled person to work in the laboratory, Jiang Chengcheng did not tell Zhong Lisheng directly that the mechanical exoskeleton was completed. Instead, she called him and invited him to Beijing.
A coffee shop in Beijing.
When Jiang Chengcheng arrived at the agreed location, Zhong Lisheng had been waiting for a long time.
"Hello, miss, is there anything I can help you with?" As Jiang Chengcheng walked in, the staff member quickly stepped forward to ask if she would like a drink.
"Wait a minute, let me find someone to thank you." Jiang Chengcheng waved her hand quickly as she looked at the service staff walking towards her, indicating that she did not need any service.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, the waiter bowed slightly and then slowly retreated.
Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the seats inside the door and quickly located Zhong Lisheng's seat. She saw that he was sitting near the window, looking at her with a hesitant expression, as if he was not quite sure about her identity.
"Hello, I am the developer of the mechanical exoskeleton." Jiang Chengcheng took a few steps and slowly walked towards Zhong Lisheng. Finally, she bowed slightly and extended her right hand to him with a smile.
"You! Hello! I am Zhong Lisheng!" When he learned that Jiang Chengcheng in front of him was the person he was looking for, Zhong Lisheng's eyes seemed to light up. He then stared at Jiang Chengcheng intently, as if afraid that she would run away.
"Um... Hello, I'm Jiang Chengcheng. Let's sit down and talk." Even though Jiang Chengcheng knew that Zhong Lisheng wasn't a bad person, she still felt a chill down her spine when she saw his bright and eerie eyes. However, after thinking about Zhong Lisheng's sister's current situation, Jiang Chengcheng felt relieved.
To ease the tension, Jiang Chengcheng gave an awkward smile and changed the subject.
"How much do you know about mechanical exoskeletons?" Jiang Chengcheng asked directly, stating the purpose of their trip.
"...To be honest, my sister was seriously injured before, and I was too anxious, so I only learned about the relevant knowledge of mechanics and the concept of mechanical exoskeletons." Zhong Lisheng scratched his head and said with some guilt.
Because he was anxious about his younger sister, Zhong Lisheng was only thinking about attracting investment to appease her. But now that he thinks about it, his approach was indeed a bit inappropriate, since other people's money doesn't come from thin air.
"...You're quite bold to say that." Hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng was speechless. For a moment, she didn't know whether to admire Zhong Lisheng's cunning in making empty promises or to praise his courage in sacrificing his reputation to save his sister.
After all, if Zhong Lisheng succeeds in securing investment but fails to develop a mechanical exoskeleton, his reputation and career will be over, and he might even face legal trouble.
Zhong Lisheng, who was standing to the side, didn't think these words were a compliment, so he said awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I was so worried about my sister's serious illness. I won't do it again."
Zhong Lisheng's words sounded like a military order, and his gaze towards Jiang Chengcheng was filled with determination.
"Let's not talk about that for now. I've actually roughly figured out the mechanical exoskeleton, but because I lack experimental results, I can't guarantee it's safe," Jiang Chengcheng said truthfully.
Although products from the system are guaranteed to be of high quality, it's always good to take precautions to avoid future problems.
"I...can I take a look at this mechanical exoskeleton?" As a fellow researcher, Zhong Lisheng naturally knew that experimental research results were not as simple as one plus one equals two. Everything had to undergo phased testing in order for the results to be more rigorous and closer to the real data.
“Okay.” Jiang Chengcheng brought the mechanical exoskeleton specifically to give Zhong Lisheng a heads-up.
Zhong Lisheng watched as Jiang Chengcheng took out several small parts from her bag. After assembling them, several black mechanical parts resembling joints came into his view.
The tiny black sphere was smaller than a fist, which was quite different from the mechanical exoskeleton that Zhong Lisheng had imagined.
In his imagination, the mechanical exoskeleton should enclose his sister's joints, and then use mechanical power to propel her to walk. But he really couldn't figure out how these few small spheres would work.
“This…” Zhong Lisheng carefully picked up the black sphere and examined its structure closely, his eyes practically straining to see through the mechanical exoskeleton!
"This thing requires surgical implantation; it's like an artificial joint," Jiang Chengcheng explained, noticing the confusion in Zhong Lisheng's eyes.
During their previous conversation, Jiang Chengcheng had learned that Zhong Lisheng's sister had suffered a comminuted fracture, so her disability was mostly due to her bones and joints.
"So that's how it is." Hearing Jiang Chengcheng's explanation, Zhong Lisheng suddenly understood, but he was still a little worried and resistant. Putting aside whether the black sphere would work or not, Zhong Lisheng was uneasy just thinking about his younger sister having surgery and having this thing implanted in her.
a long time.
Zhong Lisheng stared at the two small black spheres and slowly spoke.
"Miss Jiang, are you busy today? If not, could you please come to the hospital with me? After all, Qiaoqiao is the one who really needs to make a decision... I..."
Zhong Lisheng's gaze toward Jiang Chengcheng was filled with pleading, making it impossible for anyone to refuse him.
"this is necessary."
Jiang Chengcheng and Zhong Lisheng both live in Beijing. The reason they didn't go to the hospital first was simply to communicate clearly and avoid causing further harm to Zhong Lisheng and his sister.
Jiang Chengcheng was brought here by a driver, but since it would be more convenient for her to go to the hospital alone, she decided to let the driver go back first and pick her up later when he was done with his work at the hospital.
Zhong Lisheng's home is not in Beijing, but because of the accident, apart from him and his mother who were relatively unharmed due to minor injuries, his sister and father were both sent to Beijing Central Hospital due to their serious injuries.
Jiang Chengcheng followed Zhong Lisheng through the hospital corridors. There was a lingering smell of disinfectant, people sleeping soundly on makeshift beds in the corridors, and patients' family members with desperate eyes, running around asking about the medical staff.
Jiang Chengcheng has rarely been to the hospital since her rebirth, except for the time she took care of Sirius.
Of course, to be more precise, she hadn't been there much in her previous life either. After being diagnosed with cancer, Jiang Chengcheng simply refused chemotherapy because she didn't have the money to be hospitalized.
Ironically, even though she refused chemotherapy, because the pain from cancer was unbearable, she still had to take expensive painkillers and pain relievers, and then... kept walking to work, preparing to face death.
Seeing the strangers rushing around in front of her, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but start recalling her past, while at the same time worrying about whether she really had a future.
