In the Xinghai Research Institute, in the dean's office, the familiar video call ringtone rang.
His eyes fell on the Mars exploration data on the table. He picked up his mobile phone from the table and took a look at the caller ID. There was a smile in Xu Chuan's eyes.
With a click of his thumb, he connected to the video.
On the opposite side of the video, a face with a ponytail came into view.
The call was from Xu Xiao, and her delicate little face was filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
"Brother!"
After shouting with excitement, Xu Xiao pretended to be mysterious and asked: "What do you think I called you for?"
Looking at the little face on the other side of the video that couldn't hide his worries, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. In addition to asking me for money, do you have anything else to do when you call me?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiao pursed his lips and said dissatisfied: "Brother!"
Just when she was about to complain, before she could say anything, her little head quickly turned, and then she followed Xu Chuan's words and said coquettishly.
"Brother, you are too smart! Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you!"
"Hehe~."
Xu Chuan glanced at her, but did not expose her, and continued: "You only had to leave 300 million in May, and it's only August, three months, why are you spending money to play?"
"Brother! Research and development optimization experiments cost money." Xu Xiao pouted and pretended to sigh: "You don't know how difficult it is to manage a company if you don't call the shots!"
"Really! Employee salaries, R&D budgets, project control, performance bonuses... Damn it, each of them costs a small amount of money. Three hundred million can last for three months, which is pretty good. I'm really one point now."
The money is gone."
"Brother, help! When our bionic mechanical prosthetic technology is launched, let alone 300 million, even 30 billion will be easily returned!"
On the opposite side of the video, Xu Xiao was counting each one with his fingers while drawing a pie for his brother.
Xu Chuan just watched happily and didn't answer anything.
He knew that Xu Xiao's call to him this time was definitely not about money. This girl had never hidden her thoughts in front of him. She probably wanted money temporarily and wanted to 'blackmail' him a little more.
Although it is true that researching virtual technology and bionic mechanical prostheses is very expensive, and scientific research is indeed a waste of money, but if this girl doesn't have a penny on her body, it is better to believe that she is the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang.
.
We only took 300 million from him in May, and now it's only mid-August. Three and a half months, and this is not how we burned money.
But Xu Chuan could also guess Xu Xiao's purpose for asking for money, including the video call she made to him this time.
As expected, clinical trials on bionic mechanical prostheses should have made progress, and may have even been completed.
After all, counting the time, it has been more than five months since the bionic mechanical prosthetic brain-computer interface chip was approved for final human clinical trials in March this year.
According to the clinical trial standards for general medical equipment, it takes as little as four months and as long as about half a year to complete the inspection of a device.
Although the bionic mechanical prosthetic brain-computer interface chip technology is complex, as long as there is nothing in the clinical trial that leads to the death of the people undergoing the experiment, or a major accident that causes serious damage to the brain, body, nerve damage, etc., there will be nothing if the experiment is passed normally.
Too big a problem.
Although he has a little to do with it, behind the scenes he mainly provides some funds and helps to contact clinical hospitals, patients, etc.
As for clinical trials, he did not intervene in any relevant processes or provide any help.
He even said hello to the director of the Clinical Medical Center of the Hexi Campus of the First Hospital. Everything must be carried out according to normal standards. If there are any unexpected problems or situations during the clinical experiment, he must be notified as soon as possible.
he.
It is not that he is afraid that Xu Xiao will use his connections to mess around with clinical experiments and pass those examinations that should not pass or have problems.
He had watched this girl grow up, so she couldn't do this kind of thing.
He is worried that hospitals and related personnel may provide some 'help' in clinical trials, such as relaxing the review of certain indicators, passing some problematic inspections, etc.
Especially since Xu Xiao is his sister, with his status and reputation in the country, even if he doesn't mention it, many people will take the initiative to 'speculate' his thoughts and then do something to please him.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Xu Xiao or his parents had any difficulties, as soon as the news spread, I believe countless people would rush to help solve the problem.
This kind of thing is not impossible, the network of relationships is dense everywhere.
For these people, even just brushing their faces in front of him is worth it.
Therefore, for clinical medical experiments, the Clinical Medical Center of the Hexi Campus of the First Hospital sends him relevant test reports and data every week.
Although there are still some convenience behaviors that are unavoidable, it doesn't matter as long as the bionic mechanical prostheses and brain nerve interface chips do not cause physical or mental damage to the people undergoing the experiments during clinical trials.
Life safety is his bottom line. As long as this red line is not crossed, other problems are trivial to him.
After watching Xu Xiao's performance quietly for a while, Xu Chuan suddenly smiled and asked: "Have the clinical trials of bionic intelligent prostheses and brain-computer interface chips been completed?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiao, who was on the other side of the video call and was still trying to act coquettishly and cutely to swindle some money from her brother, was stunned.
After being stunned for a while, she finally said: "Brother! Have you arranged an ultimatum for me?"
Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "Is it necessary? With your little abacus, do you still need to think so much?"
Xu Xiao smiled, but soon recovered, with a little excitement on his face, and said: "Brother, I really come to you for help this time!"
Xu Chuan: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiao said quickly: "First of all, let me tell you some good news! The clinical trials of bionic intelligent prostheses and brain-computer interface chips have officially passed the third phase of clinical trials!"
"We conducted comparative clinical tests on fifteen people with disabilities in each city at test centers in five cities: Jinling, Star City, Magic City, Jingcheng, and Sichuan. As for the final results, bro, what can you guess is the passing rate?!"
"How many?"
"One hundred percent!" Xu Xiao said excitedly, "A total of 75 clinical experimenters in five cities have passed the third phase of the experiment!"
"And the functional test standard of the bionic smart prostheses installed on them reached 99.78%, the data transmission stability rate of the brain-computer interface chip was 99.42%, and the stable conversion rate was 99.81%. All patients undergoing clinical trials were tested within four months.
It has shown excellent activity in clinical trials.”
"It is no exaggeration to say that they are almost completely indistinguishable from normal people!"
It must be said that Xu Xiao did not expect that people with disabilities undergoing clinical trials in these five different cities could pass the third phase of the trial with such a high standard and pass rate.
After all, in previous experiments, they also faced the problem of out-of-control conversion of ERP potential signal data in EEG brain wave signals.
In the end, she relied on the mathematical model established by her brother to solve this problem.
I originally thought that after the third phase of clinical trials, they would need to further optimize the mathematical model and related induction conversion signals before it can be promoted.
However, the mathematical model completed by Xu Chuan was far more outstanding than she imagined.
Once again, Xu Xiao felt the "perversion" of his brother!
Hearing that the data was so good, Xu Chuan also smiled and then asked: "Then what do you want from me?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiao chuckled and said: "Propaganda!"
"publicity?"
Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, it's propaganda."
After a slight pause, she continued: "The Phase III clinical trials have met the national standards for medical devices. If this is the case, then we will also prepare to introduce bionic smart prostheses and brain-computer interface chips to society.
"
"Brother~"
Suddenly the end of the sound was very long, and Xu Xiao said in an almost sweet tone: "Help me stand on the stage~, after the product launch conference."
...
After hanging up the call, Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, then called his assistant and asked her to transfer 200 million to the account of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Co., Ltd.
Although bionic smart prosthetics and brain-computer interface chips have passed the third phase of clinical trials, subsequent research and optimization will continue, including promotion, which also requires money.
If it was when Starlight Virtual Technology was established, he wouldn't be able to send money directly like this. After all, Shuimu University had a certain share here at that time, and a series of issues would need to be considered.
But after Xu Xiao graduated, he got these shares back. Now half of the shares of Starlight Technology are in his hands, and the other half is in Xu Xiao's hands. No matter how much he invests, it will not be cheaper for others.
With the value of bionic mechanical prosthetic technology and brain-computer interface chip technology, as long as a product can be officially launched to the market, the product explosion is destined to explode.
And the potential of starlight virtual reality technology must be noticed by everyone.
For bionic mechanical prosthetics technology and brain-computer interface chip technology, the latter is actually more important.
The problem with bionic mechanical prostheses is not actually the mechanical arms. If you want to flexibly control the prostheses, how to sense and coordinate the activities of the human body is the core key node.
Motion bionics and control bionics have always been core issues in prosthetic limb research.
Whether it is a traditional nerve-controlled bionic prosthetic hand or a digital bionic electronic hand, it needs to be integrated with the human body in order to function.
It is said that smoothly matching the movements of the human body is the biggest problem.
The brain-computer interface chip studied by Xu Xiao almost perfectly solves this problem.
Although currently only the limbs can be controlled smoothly, it can be moved to other parts of the human body in the future.
Such as eyes, ears, vocal cords, etc.
Allowing people with disabilities such as deaf-mute blindness to perceive the world again is something we can see in the near future.
More importantly, the biggest use of interface chips that can accurately sense and convert brain wave signals is not in medical devices.
Helping disabled people return to normal lives is just an 'additional' function.
For brain-computer interface chips, its greatest use is to help humans build a ‘second world’!
Computer simulation is used to generate a three-dimensional virtual world, providing users with simulations of vision, hearing, touch and other senses, allowing users to feel an immersive experience and at the same time be able to freely interact with things in the space.
This is the technology commonly seen in science fiction novels and science fiction movies, ‘100% real virtual reality’.
Although this function is most commonly used in various games in science fiction or game online novels and movies, games are only part of its functions.
Various fields such as medical simulation surgery, military aerospace simulation training, industrial simulation, emergency deduction, etc. are all promising fields for its future application.
For example, medical simulation surgery is the simplest example.
In real surgeries, errors by medical students and doctors may result in patient injury or even life-threatening injuries.
It often takes more than ten years for a medical student to grow into an independent doctor.
If it is in some special fields, it may take twenty, thirty or even longer years.
What is also limiting the growth of doctors is the number of cases.
In some special niche disease areas and areas that require "major surgery", the number of patients is often limited, and younger doctors have little opportunity to get started.
Such as heart bypass surgery, heart valve replacement surgery, brain tumor surgery, etc.
These surgeries are highly invasive to the body and carry high risks, and may permanently affect brain function and cause complications.
These major surgeries, even chief doctors and well-known experts, are not 100% sure of their success, and it is impossible for junior doctors to perform them.
By using simulated surgical training equipment, medical students and doctors can gain an operating experience close to real surgery.
In the operating room constructed with virtual reality, they can become familiar with the use of surgical instruments, become familiar with the surgical process, and improve their operating skills, so as to better cope with actual surgical scenarios.
You can also try new techniques and equipment without risk, increase your risk awareness, and improve your ability to handle complex situations.
Whether it is improving the professional level of doctors or ensuring the safety of patients, virtual reality technology has immeasurable value.
As for publicity…
Xu Chuan didn't mind that Xu Xiao pulled him to help stand at the product launch conference.
The sooner bionic mechanical prosthetics are launched on the market and known to everyone, the sooner those with disabilities will return to normal lives.
The pioneering work of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company can also drive other capital to invest in research and development in related fields, further benefiting society.
