Chapter 347 Changes from 1990 to 1992, the town of Morro Bay is in trouble
To Xie Yuan's surprise, Johnny became even more of an asshole after experiencing this big change.
Because the hospital installed a prosthetic leg on him, and it was a very cool silver prosthetic leg, after the car accident, he changed his name to "Johnny Silverhand".
As for why the name needs to be changed?
Because he couldn't stand the loneliness of living alone at home, he would go to the major bars in Los Santos every night to drink and have fun.
During the day, he would hide at home and not see anyone; at night, he would go to the nightclub to play music every day and not come back all night long.
Xie Yuan didn't care. Anyway, he would soon know that this kind of life would not change his mental state, but would make him more miserable.
Xie Yuan is also very busy, expanding production capacity and establishing branch factories. Even though implantable prostheses in the military are very popular, there is still a market for bionic prosthetics like Xie Yuan.
Not everyone is willing to try new things as boldly as Johnny. Many people still prefer myoelectric prostheses that can be installed without surgery, or even spend more money to modify them to the most advanced version.
Only among the first batch of disabled veterans who came back, 30%-40% were willing to choose myoelectric prostheses. The production and sales volume in 1990-91 alone reached 600% of that in 1989, and the net profit in 1990 directly doubled.
It tripled in 1989, and the net profit in 1991 also tripled that in 1990!
This time, Maf Consulting received US$1.8 million in two years just from management fees and profit incentives! Moreover, due to its good management of Metal Gear Co., Ltd., it was like advertising, attracting a large number of new customers.
But Xie Yuan also knows that the bionic arm is still not as good as the cyber arm with the current technological explosion. After all, the cyber arm now has a new research direction-artificial muscles and trc biological interface chips.
Artificial muscles were developed at the Stanford Research Center in 1991. As soon as this thing was born, it was sought after by several major domestic medical device companies. Almost all medical device companies have launched new plans to manufacture the next generation of cyber prostheses.
But none of them arrived as quickly as Xie Yuan. The synthesis of artificial biological tissues in the space era is not a new project. Xie Yuan only needs to find one direction of improvement from the universal tools of the past to seize the lead.
And in the 1990s, Xie Yuan used laboratory adjustments to create his own implantable prosthetic limb - a biological tissue culture prosthetic limb, the Leopard Claw.
This kind of prosthetic limb can give humans a level of strength that is almost impossible to achieve with their original physique - muscle strength is four times that of their original physique, and their agility can be three times that of humans.
But this design was soon shelved by Xie Yuan - the data was too good, and the limbs were too developed, which was also a burden on the body. Later, Xie Yuan made adjustments and transformed it into a muscle with twice the original physical strength and agility.
Twice as long as humans, but better able to couple with human flesh and blood.
Named Cat Claw by Xie Yuan.
As soon as the cat's claw came out, it attracted great attention and caused a lot of controversy. Your prosthetic arm is designed to be better than the normal original arm. People who use your prosthetic arm are more powerful in combat than ordinary soldiers. They will
Isn't there a trend of people wanting to cut off their hands and replace their limbs with prosthetics?
However, Xie Yuan still used a large number of trolls to confuse the public. He believed that this so-called "controversy" was caused by hostile companies to disparage their own products.
If you don't like it, just don't buy it. What can it say that will trigger a trend of large-scale cyberization?
But not to mention, the first batch of disabled veteran volunteers equipped with cat claws caught up with the last wave of troops after a "three-month" adaptation period.
Wearing sv-sneaking suits sponsored by Xie Yuan, they killed everyone under the command of their superiors. They were unrivaled. They were completely involved in actual combat without any "show" element.
Judging from the images sent back from the front line, these soldiers equipped with cat claws are like masters of tactics like punishers, agile and powerful, swift and cruel, tearing the enemy into pieces as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Military representatives placed an order for 1,000 sets on the spot!
Cat Claw really stole the show.
But with Xie Yuan's personal development in the past two years, the changes in the general trend of the world from 1990 to 1992 can truly be said to be turbulent, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, and it is unstoppable.
First of all, Xie Yuan finally understood why iaa dared to stage a coup - because he was not the only organization to stage a coup.
Several bureaus such as fib also joined in the fun, and they actually formed a partnership! They secretly took over the government, which was almost like Jin Yiwei came to power, and the American version of the security department took over!
On the Eagle side, the intelligence agency took over, and the alliance replayed the disintegration incident in 1991. But unlike the situation in other planes, the alliance disintegrated but did not fall - they reached reconciliation with the European countries, and Europe was stable.
Lived the existence of the alliance.
This time, it is no longer the so-called Eagle Sauce who is destined to be destined, but also the goddess Europa.
In 1991, the European Space Agency successfully launched the Hermes spacecraft [ne].
In 1992, the European Economic Community was formally established, and a new currency, the euro, began to appear in the world.
At the same time, Yingjiang first established an ecological building thing for people's livelihood, and the military began to intensify its efforts to crack down on drug dealers - a brutal arrest that covered the entire Americas broke out between drug dealers and the DEA.
Drug war.
It is said that DEA developed and spread several artificial plagues around the world with the intention of wiping out a large number of raw material crops for controlled drugs. This incident directly led to the collapse of the governments of Chile and Ecuador.
Because there are more and more big moves between Europe and the United States, Xia Tu's series of moves from 1990 to 1992 are not well-known. For example, the Shanghai Stock Exchange was established in 1990, and the Ludao Bridge was opened to traffic in 1991.
Ah, troops were sent for the first time in 1992 to maintain peace.
None of them have had a huge impact. Only those who pay careful attention will discover a series of great changes - including Xie Yuan himself, who recently made a series of investments in Xia Tu.
However, it cannot be said that the orientation of mainstream media is biased, but that there have been too many eye-catching things in the field of science and technology in the past two or three years.
There are countless artificial muscle fibers, prototype matter projectors, ecological buildings, and high-energy laser lifts, but the most eye-catching one is an invention that can end fossil fuels.
Chooh2, a standard synthetic alcohol fuel, is a synthetic, modified grain alcohol developed by Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The raw material is a high-sugar wheat called mega-suavis.
While the fuel itself is toxic, like some alcohols, chooh2's metabolites can cause poisoning, blindness and even death at higher doses.
But chooh2 is much safer to burn than gasoline and diesel. More importantly, it is produced from crops and has renewable characteristics compared to fossil fuels that may be used up after being buried in the ground for decades.
Biotech is still a smaller company and does not produce enough wheat to make the new fuel profitable, so it licenses the formula to several petrochemical companies, the two largest of which are Petrochemicals and Sov0il.
Of course, there is also the spec group. This order was driven by the new technology that Xie Yuan introduced to Xia Tu by the way when he came into contact with China a long time ago, and attracted his attention through constant communication.
This time, by licensing chooh2 to several petrochemical companies, Xie Yuan earned US$10 million in dividends at the end of the year alone!
It is conceivable how fat Biotechnology is eating this time! But this is what they deserve. Even if they had not discovered through calculation that this Biotechnology project was about to succeed, they would not have put their heart into it. .
You must know that in 1987-88, ten million US dollars was almost half of his country! If he lost money, he would wither.
However, if you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. Xie Yuan is now very proud financially, but in terms of personal safety, he is in trouble.
It's no wonder that Yuan Zheng and Johnny, who looked reluctant, were lying on a high place watching a group of people who were lighting fires, bragging and reveling in carnival.
Some of them have artificial limbs, and some have faces covered with metal and wires, with only three red dots as their eyes.
They don't look like humans, more like bandits, but they smell like blood, which doesn't look good at first glance.
