Chapter 447 The high price of prosthetic limbs

Hu Lai frowned.

After watching the video of the little boy with broken arms, his first reaction was to install a prosthetic limb on the boy's disabled left hand.

But reminded by thousands of comments from netizens, he realized that this was not just about installing a prosthetic.

really.

Now Phoenix Group's bionic robots have qualitatively improved their flexibility and precision.

If it is indeed possible to apply mechanical control technology on bionic robots to prosthetic limbs as netizens said, it can really bring new technological experiences to people with disabilities and bring huge life changes.

After having this idea, Hu Lai quickly came to Phoenix Group's bionic robot department in person.

At this time, the bionic robot department experienced the design of a variety of bionic robots with different uses, such as "home version of nanny robots", combat robots and accompanying robots, and the department scale was no longer the same as before.

The entire department is full of people and everyone is full of vitality. It is worthy of being the hottest popular department within Phoenix Group.

soon.

Hu Lai came to the office of Du Ming, the head of the bionic robot department and also a senior engineer.

"Old Du, I came here specially today, and there is something I want to trouble you."

"You can check this video to see if we can now apply the robotic arm technology of the 'bionic robot' to people with disabilities."

Du Ming was surprised and happy with Hu Lai's arrival. He didn't dare to neglect after hearing Hu Lai's words. He quickly took the phone and checked it carefully.

After carefully watching the little boy's one-armed video, Du Ming pushed the glasses frame and said:

"Boss, although I'm not a specialist in prosthetic research, like the little boy in the video, he may not need our 'bionic robotic arm' technology."

"The prosthetic limbs sold on the market now can fully meet the requirements of the little boy's daily life."

Um?

Hu Lai was stunned at once, with a look on his face quite surprised.

Du Ming means that the prosthetic limbs in the market are now very advanced and can meet his life requirements?

He was a little surprised, but he really didn't know much about the prosthetic market.

Du Ming also saw Hu Lai's surprise and explained:

"Boss, in fact, the prosthetic technology is now very advanced."

"Let me introduce it to you. The first type is the 'decorative' prosthesis that we are familiar with in the traditional sense. This 'decorative' prosthesis has no function and is designed to make up for the appearance of the limbs."

"And the second type is also the one that has been promoted more frequently in recent years - the 'myoelectric' prosthesis."

"This prosthesis not only has the same realistic appearance as the 'decorative' prosthesis, but also can obtain the 'myoelectric signal' from the residual muscles after wearing the prosthesis. Finally, the prosthesis motor is controlled through the 'myoelectric signal', so that the prosthesis can be done by using the 'myoelectric signal'.

Take different corresponding actions.”

"Of course, this 'myoelectric' prosthesis is similar to the bionic robotic arm of our 'bionic robot'. The more sensitive the joints, the higher the degree of freedom, the higher the price."

"And like the little boy in the video you just mentioned, his use of this 'myoelectric' prosthesis can basically meet his daily life requirements."

After Du Ming explained, Hu Lai already had a rough understanding of it.

In general, the prosthetic market is not as backward as originally expected. Although the technological level is not as advanced as Phoenix Group's "bionic robot", it can also be regarded as entering the "bionic control" stage.

After making a big mistake, Hu Lai returned to the office from the bionic robot department.

but.

After this incident, Hu Lai still had a knot in his heart, and he kept reading the sunny little boy in the video with one arm taking care of the sick family.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai finally decided to learn about the little boy's situation and prepare to give the little boy the best prosthetic limbs.

Then Hu Lai took out his cell phone and found Chen Hai's phone number himself. He needed to find the little boy's address first.

"Director Chen, please trouble you with something. I need to find someone."

Chen Hai was a little surprised and suddenly became nervous.

"Mr. Hu, you said, who do you need to find?"

"If it is domestic, as long as you provide relevant information, I can guarantee that you can find this person within two days at the latest; if it is abroad..."

Hu Lai hurriedly smiled:

"Director Chen, it's not that serious... he is just an eight or nine-year-old child, and his family has posted videos on TikTok in recent days."

Hu Lai quickly explained the causes and consequences.

After Hu finished speaking, Chen Hai praised Hu Lai for being very caring, and agreed on the phone.

"This is a small matter and a good thing. Mr. Hu, please wait a moment, and I will arrange someone to inquire immediately."

"good!"

After saying this, Hu Lai hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, he received a text message from Chen Hai.

It turns out that the little boy with broken arms is Bei Haoyu. He is nine years old this year and lives in a fourth-tier city in northern Hunan. When he was six years old, he completely lost his left small arm due to an accident.

His family conditions can only be considered an ordinary family, and he has a five-year-old sister in his family.

After mastering this information, Hu Lai didn't talk much, and then arranged a flight the next day to prepare to fly to Xiangbei with Director Zhang to see the nine-year-old child in person.

The next morning, it was also the weekend, and Hu Lai and Director Zhang came to Bei Haoyu's home under the leadership of the local Phoenix Group store.

He did not bring a reporter on this trip, nor did he even disturb the community. When Bei Haoyu's door opened, he showed Bei Haoyu's parents' slightly vigilant and uneasy eyes.

"Hello, we are employees of Phoenix Group. This time we saw the friends posting a video on shaking voice. We specifically want to come and see the children of Bei Haoyu."

Hu Lai sincerely confessed his intentions.

Bei Haoyu's parents looked about 36 or 37 years old. After hearing that Hu Lai and others were from Phoenix Group, although the two were less hostile, they still kept looking at the three of them, obviously very guarded.

Hu Lai expected this scene. When he was about to explain further to the two adults, he saw Bei Haoyu standing behind the two adults.

At this time, Bei Haoyu was looking at Hu Lai and Director Zhang curiously. His clear eyes were still as sunny and warm as in the video.

Hu Lai couldn't help but nod and smiled at him.

Just then.

Hu Lai suddenly saw Bei Haoyu walking out from behind the two adults, and then walked towards the door with a little shyness to look at him.

Just when Hu Lai was a little surprised, Bei Haoyu suddenly said:

"Hello uncle, are you general manager Hu Laihu of Phoenix Group?"

Hu Lai was shocked and said:

"Do you know me?"

Bei Haoyu nodded and said:

"Well, I know you."

After saying this, he looked at Director Zhang.

"I also know this uncle, who should be Manager Zhang of Phoenix Group."

Now it was Director Zhang's turn to have a big mouth.

He and Hu Lai looked at each other, and no one expected that a child like Bei Haoyu, eight or nine years old, would know them.

Hu Lai suddenly became curious and said with a smile:

"Children, how did you know us?"

Bei Haoyu seemed a little shy, pulled the sweater on his left arm, and then whispered:

"Uncle Hu, Uncle Zhang, I am a fan of Phoenix Group."

"We have used the products produced by your Phoenix Group again. Your various top technologies and the ‘accompaniment robots’ you produce have brought unimaginable help to mankind. You are the light of human technology!"

"Our classmates are all saying that Phoenix Group is the best technology company in the world!"

"Not only me, many of our classmates are your fans!"

Hearing this, Hu Lai felt a sense of comfort and pride from the bottom of his heart.

He wanted to say a few words, but when he spoke, he could only nod and smile at Bei Haoyu.

They just did a little bit of what they should have done, a little bit of meager.

At this time, Bei Haoyu's parents also reacted.

Of course they also knew about Phoenix Group, but they didn't expect that a Douyin video would actually attract the legendary Phoenix Group's big names to come.

Both of them seemed at a loss, and invited Hu Lai and the other two to come in quickly with apology and enthusiasm on their faces.

"Sorry, Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, please come inside."

Naturally, Hu Lai, Director Zhang and others would not care.

The three of them walked into the room with a smile, and Hu Lai realized that the family's income might be even more ordinary than he thought.
