As A Vampire, I Am No Longer A Human Being.

"Index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, thumb, hold, loose, two, one, three, five, rock, scissors..."

As Lu Yan spoke, he thought in his mind and made corresponding movements with his left hand at the same time.

There was also a prosthetic limb on the table next to it. Several data cables extended from the shoulder of the prosthetic limb. The other end of the data cable was connected to a ring-shaped device, which was placed on Lu Yan's shoulder.

Following Lu Yan's movements, the prosthetic limb made corresponding movements at the same time. Both the amplitude and strength were consistent. After measurement by professional instruments, the error was less than one millimeter.

However, as the first generation of human prostheses, there are still shortcomings due to immature technology.

When holding and grabbing things, problems are likely to occur. Here is a simple example.

Normal people don't use much force when grabbing a grape. This is because the touch on the arm is transmitted back to the brain. The brain knows that the grape will break if you apply more force, so it subconsciously reduces the force.

But the prosthesis doesn't work. It will only follow the instructions of the brain, but because there is no feedback, the brain will not know whether the force is appropriate, so in many cases, it will crush the grape.

The action of the prosthesis is more closely related to vision. The size seen by the eyes is fed back to the brain, and the brain controls the prosthesis to reach the desired position.

However, at this position, you may use too much force and damage the object; you may also use too little force and fail to pick it up, which is uncontrollable.

If it is too heavy, the brain may not be able to respond in time. If it is too light, the brain will subconsciously issue commands, resulting in excessive force.

There is no way to completely solve this problem yet, so they can only find another way to limit the upper limit of the strength of the prosthesis.

In this way, you can grab most items with confidence, and there will be no major problems if you pay attention to it in daily life. This is better than being a disabled person.

"Okay, there's no big problem. How are you finding volunteers?"

Reach over to undo the retaining ring and remove it.

When the ring is unfolded, you can clearly see that there are countless tiny needles densely arranged on its inner surface. These needles will penetrate the skin surface, connect to the nervous system on the arm, and copy nerve information, which is an indispensable and important component.

The key is that, except for the slight pain when it pierces the skin, it does not affect normal activities.

"We found ten volunteers. Five are missing hands and five are missing feet. According to your request, they are all missing one limb."

Xi Yu, the personal secretary assigned to Lu Yan by Haisheng Group, can be said to be the liaison between both parties.

Haisheng Group is the leading research and production company of prosthetic and orthotic equipment in China.

"Yeah." Lu Yan nodded.

Over the past month or so, he has realized the importance of a secretary. A secretary can help you do many things that are not important and do not need to be done personally.

Just like these ten disabled people, it is easy to find disabled people, but to find those who are willing to cooperate, you need to select only one of the best.

After all, it is only theoretically feasible at the moment and has only been tested on Lu Yan, but Lu Yan himself knows that his experimental data cannot be treated as normal people and are useless.

No one knows whether the machine will cause problems when used on normal people. There may be dangers during the process, and only a few people are willing to take risks.

"It's better to choose the right date than to hit it. If you want to test, it's better to test it early. If there are problems, we can make timely adjustments and try to confirm the final product in the next few days."

Time waits for no one. The prosthesis is just a preliminary task. After success, there will be mechanical armor waiting for him.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come to the lab now."

Xi Yu did not object but directly called ten people to come to the laboratory.

It is worth mentioning that the laboratory Lu Yan is currently using is not the school's laboratory, but a laboratory arranged by Haisheng Group outside the school.

The facilities here are much more comprehensive than the laboratories on campus.

After just waiting quietly for an hour, ten people, seven men and three women, came to the laboratory.

After entering the laboratory, everyone looked at Xi Yu with excitement and expectation.

Especially when I see the prosthetic limbs that have not been put away on the experimental table, my eyes light up.

"Secretary Xi, did you want to start the experiment when you came to us?"

One of the middle-aged men, whose left foot was amputated at the knee, walked out of the crowd and came to Xi Yu trembling with excitement.

Obviously he is the representative of these ten people.

Xi Yu also acted very cleanly and neatly, nodding directly in recognition without making any detours.

After receiving a positive answer, the man became even more excited.

Lu Yan, who was observing the conditions of the ten people at the side, had a strange look on his face. He didn't know what Xi Yu told them, that each of them was so confident about this experiment.

"Although I have told you before, I still want to tell you again."

Xi Yu walked up to the ten people with a straight face, and his serious tone quickly cooled the atmosphere in the room. After a while, there was silence, and they all stood obediently, like primary school students who were listening carefully.

"The technology has been theoretically successful so far, and there are no problems in experiments, but it has not been tested on humans yet." After speaking, Xi Yu paused and glanced at Lu Yan.

When Lu Yan was experimenting, she was watching from the side. Although she didn't know why she told herself that he was not experimenting on humans, she was just a secretary and didn't ask any questions.

"So unexpected situations are likely to occur during the experiment. Theoretically, your lives will not be endangered, but everything has accidents, and we cannot be 100% sure.

But don’t worry, medical staff and ambulances are already waiting outside. If any accident occurs during the experiment, we will do our best to rescue and ensure safety. "

Having said this, Xi Yu paused again for a few minutes to give everyone time to digest.

"If you want to give up, you can raise it now. If you have no problem, you can come to me and collect two contracts. One is a confidentiality agreement. Before the product is released, you cannot disclose any information. The other is a voluntary agreement. .”

Xi Yu took out the contract that had been prepared long ago from the drawer and placed it on the table, waiting for the ten people to make the final choice.

Ding ding ding.

Just when a few people were still hesitating, there was a knock on the laboratory door.

The door opened and a little head poked out from behind the door.

Seeing Lu Yan in the laboratory, the visitor's eyes lit up, he opened the door and walked into the laboratory.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Seeing Xu Yangyang walking in, Lu Yan smiled slightly: "It's okay, we haven't started yet, you came at the perfect time."

When Xu Yangyang came to her side, the two exchanged a few words. Lu Yan spoke to the ten people for the first time after they entered the door.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Yan. I am the operator of your experiment and the manufacturer of the latest human prostheses. The person next to me is the medical staff we arranged. His name is Xu Yangyang. You can completely put your own life on the line. Leave safety to her."

Xu Yangyang stood next to Lu Yan and heard him introduce herself. She greeted the ten people generously and looked at them curiously.

It was not that she had never seen disabled people before, but it was rare for ten of them to gather together at one time.
