Hope

For Chen Feng, this visit was not about bringing Chen Qingyi a Virtual Reality Helmet. He had come to tell her something—something that could change the rest of her life.

"Younger Female Cousin, you know what my company does. To put it plainly, it's a high-tech company. We've recently been developing a Human Prosthetic Limb, and I'd like to invite you to participate in our trial. What do you think?"

Chen Qingyi's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. She might not have understood what a trial was, but she understood Human Prosthetic Limbs very well.

"Your company developed a Human Prosthetic Limb? For both legs?"

"Yes."

"That's wonderful! I'm willing to take part in your trial. I'll do whatever you need, as long as you can give me back my legs."

To Chen Qingyi, as long as someone could restore her legs, she was willing to do anything.

"Don't worry. As long as you participate in our trial, I'll immediately provide you with a pair of legs free of charge, making you no different from an ordinary person. They may feel a little strange at first, but with our company's strong research capabilities, we can completely make up for that flaw. By then, you'll basically be a normal person."

Even Chen Feng's aunt was dumbstruck by those words. She hurriedly grabbed Chen Feng and asked, "Really? You're not lying to us, are you?"

"Aunt, why would I lie to you? Our company really has developed a Human Prosthetic Limb recently, specifically one for the legs. We can provide Chen Qingyi with legs free of charge, as long as she is willing to cooperate. And these legs are fully ergonomic—in other words, they'll be just like a normal person's legs."

Hearing that, his aunt's eyes immediately filled with tears. As long as someone could restore her daughter's legs, she too was willing to give everything.

"Older Male Cousin, when can the trial begin? I can't wait anymore. I don't want to stay in bed all the time, unable to walk on the ground. Even when I go out, I can only use a wheelchair. It's so frustrating."

Seeing the light return to Chen Qingyi's eyes, Chen Feng felt an enormous weight on his shoulders. The draft for his theoretical design was already complete, but the actual experiment was still about a month away. So he said to Chen Qingyi, "Soon. You'll need to hold on for about another month, so don't be too anxious. The moment we achieve results, we'll contact you immediately. During this time, I'll send you a Virtual Reality Helmet. There are lots of games in it."

Chen Qingyi was a little disappointed when she heard that, but she quickly cheered up again. She happily urged Chen Feng to get the Virtual Reality Helmet to her as soon as possible. Chen Feng made a phone call, and someone soon delivered a helmet.

"Once you put on this Virtual Reality Helmet, I'll tell you how to operate it. Let's connect now. Aunt, do you want to play too?"

"No. I can't handle you young people's things. I'll just watch from the side."

So Chen Feng and Chen Qingyi entered the virtual reality world together. Although his Virtual Reality Helmet was not especially realistic and could not simulate certain sensory stimuli, its visual effects were quite refined. Before long, they had both become immersed in that world.

"Older Male Cousin, save me! There are zombies!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

Chen Feng stayed with Chen Qingyi until evening before leaving. Chen Qingyi was still reluctant to see him go, but she did not force him to stay and keep her company.

After Chen Feng left, she entered the virtual reality world again. Her mother found this rather comforting. Seeing the smile on her daughter's face made her very happy.

She had been afraid that her daughter would sink into despair, but now it seemed that with Chen Feng around, there should not be much of a problem. As for the legs Chen Feng had mentioned, she truly hoped it was real.

After returning to the company, Chen Feng threw himself into research once more. This time, however, he was not researching the design of the Human Prosthetic Limb, but figuring out how to build the factory and Production Line as quickly as possible.

Time passed quickly. A few days later, Singer had designed the small robots. These Micro Robots could assist with production, and by placing them throughout every stage of the manufacturing process, they could turn the factory into a fully automated one.

Put simply, there would only be a Feeding Port and an output port. However, this was different from the Virtual Reality Helmet; it was another form of Bionics technology. Therefore, the output port required a special design and dedicated personnel to manage it.

"Singer, do we need a new Production Line to manufacture these robots? And what would the cost be?"

"A new Production Line is required. Each robot will cost approximately 50,000 yuan to produce."

The cost was not too high. Ten robots would only cost 500,000 yuan, yet they could make his factory semi-automated. With a few more—around fifty robots—the factory could become fully automated.

Fifty robots would cost only 2.5 million yuan, so it was not particularly expensive. As for the Production Line, they could simply build it. The equipment required for the Production Line was relatively simple, because most of the technology used to manufacture these robots involved 3D Printers.

In other words, 3D Printers could print some of the robots' core components, while a Production Line could be set up to manufacture the outer casings.

Chen Feng soon found Liu Qiuya and Cao Deming and asked the two of them to build a new Production Line. When they first heard Chen Feng say that he wanted another Production Line built, they were somewhat confused.

"Just do it according to my requirements."

After hearing Chen Feng's words, they said nothing more and directly invested all the funds according to his requirements. Fortunately, they were continuously making money; otherwise, they would definitely have been unable to cover their expenses. Sales of their Virtual Reality Helmet were still astonishing.

The factory was producing in an orderly fashion, the Micro Robot factory was under construction, and the Human Prosthetic Limb Production Line was also steadily being built. Everything was progressing in a promising direction. Before long, he would likely be able to manufacture the Human Prosthetic Limb.
