Chapter 525 Go On Stage To Receive The Award!
In the auditorium, cell phones suddenly started ringing intensively.
All kinds of mobile phone notification tones erupted in just ten seconds. The mobile phones in everyone's pockets seemed to come alive, making calls for friends.
Everyone took out their mobile phones to read the news. It was a pop-up window from the news media:
"Artificial Vision Technology Announced!" Many blind monkeys have been restored to sight! 》
"Heavyweight!" Technology to restore sight to the blind! 》
"King Blast!" Chenghuang Company and Neuron Company launch artificial vision! 》
"Earthquake in ophthalmology, will blindness become history?" 》
The popularity rose rapidly, and the number of people in the live broadcast room jumped up, breaking through the 10 million mark in just a few minutes!
Wei Liqun held up the microphone and continued to introduce:
"In addition to these three, Neuron Company has also successively produced 18 sight-recovery monkeys!"
On the big screen, photos flashed one by one, including eyeballs soaked in culture fluid, monkeys being placed in the operating room for surgery, and monkeys having their gauze removed for a vision test. Finally, all the monkeys gathered together. Everyone’s eyes are moving!
“So far, all blind monkeys have successfully regained their sight, and none of them failed!”
"We are optimizing and improving artificial vision technology and working hard to improve vision after surgery! The current postoperative vision of monkeys is about 35% of normal! If we use the human eye as an analogy, it is equivalent to severe astigmatism and high myopia, and we can barely see. thing, but it’s hard to see clearly!”
"Next month, we will start recruiting blind volunteers to perform surgeries. At present, we have sufficient technical reserves and are confident enough to allow blind people to see again!"
"Currently, there are more than 10 million blind people in our country and about 50 million blind people in the world. Artificial vision technology will give these blind people a new life. Although they cannot achieve very clear vision for the time being, it will at least allow the blind people to see the world. Colors!”
Deafening applause broke out, and everyone at the press conference and the school auditorium applauded almost simultaneously!
In the first half of the press conference, some people still questioned where the so-called "disruptive technology" was. Until now, no one can question it!
If the restoration of sight to the blind is not subversive, what else can be brought to the table?
Xie Yuanxun swore violently, "This technology is so fucking awesome! Brother Song, you have entered the annals of history! Your name will definitely be left in the history of medicine!"
"It's not just my fault!" Song He said with a smile, "Many people were busy before and after to come up with the prototype of the technology!"
"Compared to you, many medical scholars should be chopped into pieces and fed to dogs!" Xie Yuanxun marveled, "This is fucking medical technology!"
Song He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xie Yuanxun was also a straight man and his speaking style was quite rough.
At the press conference, the endless applause lasted for several minutes before stopping. The audience was completely excited and their faces were all red. After all, tonight was a witness to history!
"Finally, the key factor is price!" Wei Liqun said.
"The entire process of artificial vision technology is very complicated. There are many constraints such as the status detection of the blind optic nerve and visual center, the manufacturing of related materials, difficult surgery, and post-operative recovery."
"Therefore, we can only choose qualified hospitals to establish designated sight restoration centers for the blind."
"After preliminary screening, 46 hospitals have signed letters of intent with us."
A national map appeared on the big screen, with different provinces and cities marked with blue dots and the names of hospitals attached.
"Due to different regions, different equipment, different surgeons, and different conditions of blind people, the price of the entire sight restoration process will vary slightly. It is subject to actual conditions. I can only provide an average value here."
Wei Liqun pressed the remote control, and an eye-catching line of words appeared on the big screen:
[Reference price: 224,700 yuan-389,500 yuan]
"The price is relatively expensive because artificial vision technology is indeed very expensive. We have compressed profits to a very low level. It is considered a semi-commercial and semi-philanthropic project."
"We have established a dedicated R&D team to continue to develop artificial vision technology and strive to lower the price to hundreds of thousands in the next five years to ensure that more blind people can afford it!"
"In order to reduce the pressure on blind patients, vision restoration treatment can be paid in installments, with a down payment of 100,000, and the remaining part can be repaid monthly within 5 years!"
“Our Chenghuang Company is a socially responsible company, so blind people who become blind on the job, such as soldiers, firefighters, policemen, brave volunteers, etc., can enjoy free treatment, and the cost is borne by Chenghuang Company and our friend Neuron The company will share the responsibility and it will be effective forever!”
Netizens in the live broadcast room were excited, and a real-hearted brother immediately started the generous reward mode. Carnivals jumped out one after another, and the scene was spectacular!
"Okay, tonight's new product launch conference, the official content is over, just a few last words." Wei Liqun smiled slightly tiredly.
"First help our cooperative units advertise!"
"Frontier University of Science and Technology opened its first enrollment after the college entrance examination this year. This school is very different and unique in the world. It does not have any general courses. Its only goal is to do scientific research. Soon after undergraduates enter the school, they will Entering the laboratory to participate in the battle, and attending classes in normal times are just to lay the foundation for scientific research!"
"Our artificial vision technology was originally born in the laboratory of the School of Brain Science at Frontier University of Science and Technology!"
"The college entrance examination is coming soon. Students who are interested in doing high-tech research and development can consider enrolling in cutting-edge science and technology universities. After graduation, we will give priority to admissions from Huanghui!"
"Chenghuang Company's ideal is to double and double human lifespan. We attack all diseases and we will continue to improve the quality of human life. Thank you all for accompanying us tonight. See you at the next new product launch conference!"
Wei Liqun bowed, and cheers and applause surged onto the stage from all directions, like a huge tide!
The peak number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 13 million, and the popularity was explosive!
Three of the top ten positions on the hot search list have been occupied by Chenghuang, among which artificial vision technology ranks first!
When the live broadcast ended, the principal tapped the microphone to wake up all the teachers and students who were immersed in the live broadcast.
"Artificial vision technology, Song He has made outstanding contributions! Countless blind people will benefit from it!" The principal continued from the previous article with an impassioned tone.
"To sum up, the school has decided to award Xie Yuanxun and Song He as outstanding students at the school level this year! In recognition of the two students' contributions in their respective fields!"
"Please thank Yuan Xun and classmate Song He for coming on stage to receive the award!"
The surging music blasted in the auditorium, and amid the wild applause of the teachers and students of the school, Song He and Xie Yuanxun straightened their chests, proudly stepped onto the stage, and took the trophy from the principal in turn.
The shape of the trophy is simple, a crystal-like pillar, but the material is pure gold. Song He was shocked by the weight when he took it in his hand, and his expression was hesitant to speak.
Xie Yuanxun was more direct and asked the principal on the spot, "It's so heavy! Is it pure gold?"
"Gold wrapped in silver!" the principal smiled slyly.
Two outstanding students at the school level stood on the stage and were photographed by photographer Kaka. The photos will be displayed in the school history museum and passed down from generation to generation.
As soon as the photographer put away the camera, Song He and Xie Yuanxun moved in unison, turned around and were about to leave the stage.
"Stay!" the principal suddenly shouted, "It's not over yet!"
