"Auntie, is Chen Qingyi okay? What did the doctor say?"

Seeing his auntie's haggard appearance, Chen Feng felt a pang of sadness.

"My daughter's life is temporarily out of danger, but the doctor said..."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said my daughter might lose her legs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's father and grandfather were struck as if by lightning.

"How could this happen? She's only around 20 years old, why does she have to go through something like this?"

"What about that damned drunk driver? Have they caught him?"

"What good would catching him do? My daughter's legs are gone."

Chen Feng listened silently as they discussed everything. Natural disasters and man-made misfortunes were unpredictable. A young girl around 20 years old had lost her legs just like that. What a blow this would be to her life?

"Auntie, how much will the treatment cost?"

"You don't need to worry about the treatment costs. I know what you're thinking, but we should bear these expenses ourselves."

Hearing this, Chen Feng's father immediately pulled his auntie aside and spoke to her earnestly.

"Don't try to be strong. We'll help you solve it."

After saying this, Chen Feng was pulled by his father to pay the fees. After paying all of his auntie's expenses, he returned to her side. His auntie was in great distress at the moment, but there was nothing she could do except watch Chen Qingyi's frail appearance from outside the ward.

"I wonder when she'll recover."

"It shouldn't take too long. The doctor said her life is not in danger, it's just that her legs need to be amputated. Everything else is fine. It's better to die well than live poorly, I've seen through it."

After Chen Feng and the others chatted with his auntie for a while, the topic shifted to Chen Feng. For them, Chen Feng's achievements made them very proud.

However, for Chen Feng, despite having done so much, it was still not enough. He had to quickly research and develop the Human Prosthetic Limb. Only by producing the Human Prosthetic Limb could he help Chen Qingyi regain a new life.

One should know that his Human Prosthetic Limb was ergonomically designed and would even be more beautiful than Chen Qingyi's previous legs.

He was very confident about this. Although they wouldn't be as agile as real legs, they were better than nothing, and they would definitely look completely natural.

"Alright, Auntie, relax. We'll be going now. I'll come visit you again tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to his auntie, Chen Feng returned to his factory. During this period, he had to work overtime on these things.

Back at the factory, Chen Feng was not as lazy as usual. He immediately took out his production line blueprints and constantly pondered how to create a Human Prosthetic Limb that was exactly the same as ordinary legs.

Liu Qiuya saw Chen Feng working so hard at this time and became curious. So she walked up to Chen Feng and asked.

"Boss. What happened? Why did you come back like this after going home? Did your grandfather scold you?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said to Liu Qiuya while drawing.

"It's like this, one of my Younger Female Cousins was in a car accident, so I have to quickly make my Human Prosthetic Limb."

"Was she in a car accident? Did she have an amputation?"

"Yes."

"That's really sad, but please accept my condolences. Once you get this thing done, she'll be able to have a new life, right? I believe in you, Boss."

Liu Qiuya didn't believe in others, she only believed in Chen Feng. Chen Feng was truly a person with great ability, whether it was his own ability or the ability of the team behind him, Chen Feng just had a unique magic.

Time passed day by day, and the Rising Star plan was continuously being laid out. In addition, their production lines were also being expanded.

Recently, Professor Zhang brought some people to inspect their factory and praised it highly, and also praised Chen Feng. According to them.

"This young man's future is absolutely limitless. Huaxia needs talent like you."

This was truly the highest praise, but for Chen Feng, it was still far from enough. If they knew that Chen Feng was researching new technology, they would be very shocked.

Half a month later, Chen Feng's Younger Female Cousin, Chen Qingyi, had fully recovered. He planned to visit Chen Qingyi recently to try and comfort her.

One day, he found Liu Qiuya and told her something.

"Expand the production line by a few more lines. The production capacity of our factory's Virtual Helmet equipment has reached its limit, so there's no need to continue expanding the production line. If we continue to expand the production line, there might be overcapacity."

"Don't worry, Boss. I've already stopped building production lines. Our next task now is to sell all the goods in stock. Our capital has now accumulated to 1 billion."

1 billion was still not enough for them. One should know that the new production line Chen Feng was investing in alone would cost at least 800 million.

The production of Human Prosthetic Limbs was much more complex than Chen Feng had imagined. In addition to purchasing some special alloys, he also needed to purchase some industrial raw materials. Furthermore, the cost of some equipment was also quite expensive.

The most important thing was the mechanical equipment, which was a headache for him. Many mechanical devices could only be purchased from abroad.

There were some in the country, but the coverage was not that comprehensive. Although they were top-notch in certain fields, some were still not as good as those from abroad and needed to be imported.

"Take 800 million out of this 1 billion for investment. I've already told you, start production now. We need to establish a production line as soon as possible so that we can make our product available to the public. You should know that this product can truly benefit humanity."

He had fantasized more than once about the world in Cyberpunk. Imagine, after his Human Prosthetic Limb comes out, those with disabilities would be able to use his Human Prosthetic Limb. If they were willing, they could even expose this metal exoskeleton, which would truly have a bit of a Cyberpunk style.

However, such people were a minority. This thing of his was not actively modifying the human body, so most people would still choose biomimicry to avoid strange looks.
