Chapter 270: You Can Take Care of Others Again
The test of the robot arm lasted for 6 hours. After dinner time, Chen Li installed a battery for Du Fuguo, removed the egg monitoring circuit, and only retained the control circuit for the robot arm. So Du Fuguo walked out of the ward with the funny egg headband and walked all the way to the canteen with his girlfriend's support.
Along the way, patients passing by came to greet him, and some even joked to him, "Old Du has changed his equipment again", but not only did he not offend him, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
Maybe, this is what he really wants.
Being treated like an ordinary person.
At the dining table, the leaders who came to accompany him also had their own food and no one deliberately took care of him.
Du Fuguo clumsyly used his new mechanical arm to hold the spoon, but often caused the spoon to take off his hands due to unskilled operation. He could already skillfully judge whether there was anything in his hand based on the feedback of the electrical signal. After each time he took off his hands, he would fumble again to get the spoon back.
This action made the robot arm full of food stains. After wiping it with his left hand, he suddenly asked with a little embarrassed look:
"Dr. Chen, you see, this is going to happen... won't fail, right?"
Chen Li looked at his arm and then explained:
"No, we use alloy materials. When you go back, you can wash it with dishwashing liquid, and the shower gel is fine."
"Don't take it off? Can you bring it with you when taking a shower?"
"It's not possible yet. We haven't made the waterproofing of your battery yet. When it is integrated in the future, you can take a bath with your robot arm."
"How long will it take?"
Du Fuguo asked eagerly.
"A few months later, this thing is difficult or not, it is not easy to say. It still has technical requirements."
"That's not slow, you should also pay attention to rest. The body is the most important thing!"
"Don't worry, we'll pay attention."
Chen Li replied gently.
The meal was very slow, and it took more than two hours to leave. After saying goodbye to Chen Li and his party, Du Fuguo took his girlfriend to the small square of the hospital for a walk. The two of them slowly walked on the stone road, and he was still trying to control his brand new right hand.
"Do you think I look like a Robocop? Just that one in that ugly movie!"
A smug smile appeared on his face, and his arms were already flexed and stretched, and he had a somewhat handy posture.
"They are all mechanical, but you only have arms. How about it, is this easy to use?"
"It's easy to use! It's much stronger than the previous prosthetics, but it's very difficult to use, and it's really hard to use. Especially for the electrodes on the arm, it's too difficult to match them with your fingers. If your brain is not flexible, you really don't know which one is."
"It would be great if my eyes could see. Today I heard from Dr. Chen that if there was visual feedback, the robotic arm would be much smoother to use."
Hearing this, my girlfriend patted his arm and said:
"Didn't Dr. Chen say that today, they are also doing research on this area, and it probably takes some time. After all, this is the most advanced technology--but he said that if you can see it before and then blind, it will be much easier to see it again in the future than those that you can't see it all the time after birth."
"You listened carefully, you remember it."
A smile appeared on her girlfriend's face. She looked at Du Fuguo's face and replied:
"That's not, how can I not worry about your affairs?"
Hearing this, Du Fuguo sighed.
"Follow me, you're wronged."
"How can you be wronged or not? Today, Dr. Zhu said that you are liked by girls. Why? You didn't listen to this?"
"I'm just polite, so I can't take it seriously."
"Why is that polite? He said it sincerely, you just don't admit it."
"I'm just asking you to like it..."
The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and after walking around the small square for a while, they returned to the independent small apartment arranged for them by the military region.
In the room, my girlfriend helped Du Fuguo remove the robotic arm according to the operating manual given by Chen Li, and then took the battery to the socket to charge it.
"I found that their battery is quite durable. You have been struggling for so long, and there is still 98% of the electricity - this way, can you use it for several days after charging it once? It turns out that the electricity from that prosthetic limb can't hold on for even one day."
"That's right, I heard that this is also a new achievement. Youyou, you don't know, we have many new achievements recently. The J-20 has entered the aircraft carrier, the H-20 has flew for the first time, and then I bought a big white goose. Do you know what the big white goose is?"
"I know, I know, how many times have you said... Let's go, go and take a shower, I'll help you wash this robotic arm."
"Okay... Then you remember to dry it, I'll practice later."
"I know! Go quickly!"
Du Fuguo threw out his sound wave blind stick, groped all the way to the enclosed balcony and took off his clothes, then walked into the bathroom with his clothes in his arms.
His movements are proficient, and except for walking slower, they are almost no different from ordinary people.
Looking at this scene, a hint of expectation suddenly appeared in Youyou's eyes.
Even if the technology of restoring vision that Dr. Chen mentioned does not appear in a short period of time, it seems that this robotic arm alone will bring great changes to their lives, right?
Maybe this day is right in front of you?
Thinking of this, she picked up the not-so-heavy robotic arm and walked into the kitchen, and began to carefully wipe every corner of it with a soft rag under the water.
That night, Du Fuguo sat in the living room practicing his mechanical arms. When he woke up in the middle of the night and walked out of the living room, he was still trying to grab the pen on the table and write on his thighs.
Youyou told him the time and wanted to persuade him to rest early, but the other party's answer surprised her.
"Youyou, it's not that I have to practice at this time, mainly because this thing is really fun... To be honest, even if I'm a healthy person, if you give me a robotic arm like this, I can play it all night."
"So, don't worry about me for the time being. I will rest when I get tired of playing. Besides, I heard that Dr. Chen and the others will leave in two days. I have to take advantage of this time to get familiar with each other and try to use both robotic arms before they leave."
Youyou glanced at him helplessly, and finally hugged him gently, then turned around and returned to the room.
.........
In the next two days, Du Fuguo practiced his robotic arm every moment, from the first right arm to the left arm, from the beginning, he could barely control his finger movements, and later he could perform the gripping movements smoothly. His progress was so great that Chen Li was amazed.
If it continues at this speed, it is likely that it will not take three months, but only one month, and he can do most of the refined operations.
After the last egg data debugging was completed, Zhu Xuan determined that the intelligent system of the robot arm had been debugged to the optimal level, so he disconnected with confidence, packed up the excess equipment, and prepared to leave Chuncheng and return to Yuhang.
Before leaving, Du Fuguo shook hands with the three of them respectively, and Zhu Xuan grinned in pain:
"Brother Du! Brother Du! You have a little less strength! This robotic arm is designed according to military standards, and the grip strength is not a joke!"
Hearing this, Du Fuguo quickly let go of his hand awkwardly and said:
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just a little too excited for a moment----How to say this? It's my first handshake? Comrade Xiaoya, didn't you hurt your handshake just now?"
"No, you are still very weak when you get to me."
Du Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Dr. Chu, Dr. Chen, Dr. Zhu, we have been talking about robotic arms for a few days. I have a lot of words in my mind, but I haven't found the opportunity to tell you."
"You are leaving today. I think, take this opportunity to tell you everything I want to say."
"Of course, we will definitely meet again in the future, but it's better to say some things earlier than to say later, right?"
After hearing the responses of Chen Li and the other two, he continued to speak:
"Three doctors, first of all, I really thank you very much!"
"Thank you for making such a magical thing that allows me to peel a banana for Youyou in my lifetime--although it is said that it is very unsatisfactory."
"However, this really made me feel a little bit like before."
"When I was in the army, although I was a soldier, do you know that I always demanded myself according to the standards of the leader."
"I rush to do all kinds of dirty, tiring and hard work, let alone dangerous things."
"It's not because I want to win the credit, mainly, how to say it, according to our family's words, hey, I'm just a bad guy."
"I don't think others will suffer, especially those who are still my best comrades."
"So when I was in Laoshan, I would rush to get on as soon as there was danger, and I didn't even let him take action on the squad leader."
"I still remember one time when we found a thunderbolt, which was very dangerous. The comrade-in-arms said that we wanted to let the squad leader come over to deal with it. I asked him to call someone, and then I quietly detached the thunder."
"Do you know what I was thinking at that time? What I was thinking at that time was, hey, the skill of the squad leader is not as good as mine, and it's your turn to take care of me?"
"Really, I didn't think about anything like 'Disaster should be left for me'. All I thought was that I was rushing to thunder anyway, and there were dangers anyway, so why can't I come here?"
"That's what I think, it's very simple."
"So, before something happened to me, I was always taking care of others. It was because of this that after something happened, I couldn't accept being taken care of by others for a long time."
"I want to wash my face, wear my own clothes, take a shower and fold my quilt...but it's really hard. It took me two years to learn how to do these things."
