Chapter 88 The Outsider Baki has made a contribution
Peter's heart was full of surprises, and he never thought about why Leo suddenly agreed to help now when he rejected him just now.
In Peter's subconscious mind, Leo is now a very mysterious and powerful person.
Even Peter already admired Leo a little.
No one can blame Peter for admiring Leo so easily.
After all, Peter had never figured out why he suddenly gained such amazing superpowers after being bitten by a spider.
Peter firmly believed that there must be other people like him in the world.
Peter himself was bitten by a spider and could climb walls.
So, will there be people bitten by flies who can fly? People who have been bitten by snakes can burrow into the ground? People who have been bitten by chameleons can change color?
When Peter first gained his ability, he was still very young. At that time, he often thought like this.
Although he has never seen anyone like this over the years, he still firmly believes in it because he is a living example.
Peter felt that he had now met a possible similar Leo!
He even felt that Leo must have been bitten by some very powerful and intelligent creature, which is why he mutated to such an excellent level.
Of course, Leo didn't know what Peter was thinking, let alone that he had gained a little fanboy.
"Peter, I'll start with my ugly words. I funded your research and development of mechanical prosthetics for the purpose of making money.
Therefore, during the research and development process, we must pay attention to trade-offs. It is impossible to do everything perfectly, and we may even end up failing in the end.
You must be mentally prepared for this."
Seeing that Peter was so happy and excited, Leo poured cold water on him first and gave him a vaccination.
Peter nodded quickly and agreed. As long as Leo was willing to fund this project, he would be happy.
Suddenly something like this happened, and Leo, who was about to leave Otto's laboratory, was unable to leave for a while.
He wanted to stay and carefully discuss the details of the investment with Peter and Otto.
Moreover, the "neural arm" project must have failed. It was impossible to create a mechanical prosthesis that met Peter and Leo's requirements. It had to be abandoned and new methods were found.
Leo needs to think carefully about how to quickly and perfectly create a mechanical prosthesis that meets the mission requirements.
Because this is related to the evaluation when the task is completed, and task rewards with low evaluation are often garbage. Only task rewards with high evaluation will be extremely useful to Leo.
Seeing Leo sitting back on the chair and chatting with Peter and Otto, Bucky, the outsider, felt particularly bored.
He sat next to Leo and had nothing to do, washing the playing cards in his hand over and over again, making a soft clatter.
Although Leo was chatting with Peter and Otto at this time, his mental strength was relatively strong and he could do two things at once, while thinking about how to complete the task with a high evaluation.
The man's sixth sense told Leo that completing this task was actually not as difficult as imagined.
Leo felt that he must have forgotten something, so he couldn't think of a way to break the situation.
This feeling of having something very important but not being able to remember it was very uncomfortable, and Leo felt a little irritable.
At this time, the soft sound of Bucky shuffling the cards seemed a bit harsh.
Moreover, Leo's hearing is much better than that of ordinary people. To him, the sound of Bucky's shuffling is no different from a loud noise.
Therefore, Leo subconsciously looked at Bucky's hands, preparing to stop Bucky's boring behavior.
Bucky's gloved hands were now spinning the playing cards flexibly with his ten fingers.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Leo's mind, and he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
Bucky, isn't he a disabled person? He doesn't have a left hand!
But look at him, does he look a little bit disabled now?!
Bucky's robotic arm, or "muscle sensing technology," is the key to making flexible mechanical prosthetics.
The problem was solved instantly, the high-rated task was expected to be completed, and a smile immediately appeared on Leo's face.
Peter keenly noticed the change in Leo's expression and asked quickly:
"Mr. Erwin, what makes you so happy?"
"Peter, I just suddenly thought of a very mature technology that has no side effects."
Leo said happily,
"We are expected to use this technology to create mechanical prostheses that are not inferior to the flexibility of the 'neural arm'."
"Really?!"
Before Peter could react, Otto suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly,
"Is there really such a technology? Mr. Erwin, please tell me and listen."
Leo, Peter and Bucky were all startled by Otto's sudden excitement.
Otto also realized his gaffe and quickly apologized to everyone with a smile:
"Sorry, I just heard that the goal I have worked hard for many years suddenly has the possibility of being realized. I am so excited. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Why is this Otto so neurotic?! Is it possible that he is hopeless under the influence of the "nervous arm" debuff?
Otherwise, why would he speak and act in such a sudden and unexpected manner, which is not polite at all.
But Leo was not angry because of Otto's impoliteness. After all, Otto already looked very pitiful, so it would be okay to be more tolerant to him.
Therefore, Leo explained the general concept and framework of "muscle sensing technology" to Peter and Otto.
"It's great, this technology is so amazing!"
After listening to Leo's introduction, Peter couldn't help but marvel,
"Dr. Octavius, with the support of this technology, I believe we will soon be able to develop suitable mechanical prostheses."
But Otto did not respond enthusiastically to Peter. Instead, he frowned and remained silent, no longer as excited as before.
I don't know why, but after listening to Leo's introduction, Otto seemed a little disappointed and depressed.
"Dr. Octavius, Dr. Octavius..."
Only after Peter's repeated reminders did Otto come back to his senses.
"Peter, you are right. With this technology, you can indeed fulfill your best wishes."
Peter had a vision of a better future in his mind, so he didn't notice that Otto used the word "you" instead of "us".
"Mr. Erwin, this muscle sensing technology can basically perfectly replace nerve sensing technology.
In this way, we only need to solve the portable energy problem to successfully create the desired mechanical prosthetic limb."
Peter seemed very excited, full of energy and energy.
At this time, Leo dropped another piece of good news.
"Peter, I also have a technology here that can meet the energy needs of mechanical prosthetics."
Next, Leo briefly introduced the "micro high-compression battery" technology to Peter and Otto.
Mechanical prosthetics do not need to be as powerful as Bucky's robotic arms. The purpose of their use is to allow users to take a walk every day and carry something, which naturally consumes much less energy.
Leo estimates that a fully charged micro high-compression battery can support the movement of a mechanical prosthesis for about a full day.
In fact, as long as the energy source can last through the day and allow users of mechanical prosthetics to replace or recharge the energy source at night, it is considered a success.
Micro high-compression batteries are not large in size, and three to five can be installed on a mechanical prosthetic limb. In this way, the mechanical prosthetic limb does not need to worry about energy issues at all.
In addition, the manufacturing cost of micro high-compression batteries is not expensive, and they can be recharged and reused, making them relatively cheap.
It can be said that micro high-compression batteries can perfectly meet the energy requirements of mechanical prostheses.
If that's the case, then when Leo was looking for the shortcomings of the "Spiritual Arm", why did he say that he couldn't think of any cheap high-capacity energy source that could replace the micro nuclear reactor?
That’s of course because it’s too late to do anything without profit!
Besides, Leo was refusing to invest in the "Shen Jing Arm" project at that time. Naturally, the more shortcomings of the project, the better.
