112: Chapter 112 Star Technology: Ushering in a New Era of Human Body Modification!

The gazes of hundreds of people in the venue converged on the young man in the center of the stage.

In the live broadcast, hundreds of millions of viewers watched that black background board, looking at that line of white text.

【Redefining the Body】

Chen Xu's words echoed over the plaza.

"Today, we eliminate disability."

The words fell.

Chen Xu did not continue speaking.

He raised his right hand and waved it gently toward the side of the stage.

A square lifting platform rose from below.

The lifting platform stopped.

An independent display stand appeared before everyone's eyes.

On the display stand, a prosthetic limb stood quietly.

It was silver-white throughout.

The texture of metal, the sleek lines, were full of a sense of power.

Chen Xu walked to the side of the display stand.

"A titanium alloy skeleton, aerospace-grade carbon fiber shell."

"But these are not important."

The image on the black background board behind him switched.

An enlarged image occupied the entire screen.

It was a chip.

"This is 'Lingxi'."

Chen Xu pointed his finger at the screen.

"A bio-electronic chip."

Chen Xu turned around to face the audience.

"It connects to the nerves."

"It is the extension of your brain."

As soon as the words fell.

A person in the third row of the audience suddenly stood up.

He looked at Chen Xu on the stage, then looked at the chip structure diagram on the screen.

Connecting to nerves.

This is not science.

This is fantasy.

"Impossible!"

A voice came from the media section in the back.

"This is pseudoscience! Your data is falsified!"

Sounds of questioning arose.

More people began to whisper to each other.

The atmosphere at the venue began to change.

Chen Xu stood on stage without refuting.

He looked toward the side curtain of the stage.

"Xiao Yu, come up."

A young man wearing black trousers and a white T-shirt walked out from the side curtain.

He walked toward the center of the stage with a steady gait.

He walked to Chen Xu's side.

The audience below looked at him.

Everyone was very confused.

This was a normal person.

A healthy young man.

"Do a few movements," Chen Xu said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded.

He spread his legs shoulder-width apart.

He began to squat.

His body descended steadily until his thighs were parallel to the ground.

Then, he stood up.

Throughout the process, his upper body remained straight.

He performed a second movement.

High knees.

His legs lifted alternately, knees touching his chest.

The frequency of the movements was fast, but the rhythm was stable.

Finally, he brought his feet together.

He jumped in place.

His body went vertically upward, and when he landed, his knees bent to cushion the force.

The movements were fluid.

The people below were even more confused.

What is the meaning of having a normal person come up to perform?

The barrage on the live streaming platform began to scroll.

【Is this guy Xiao Yu?】

【His physical fitness is not bad.】

【So what? Is the content of the press conference just national fitness?】

Xiao Yu stopped his movements, stood in the center of the stage, and bent down.

His hand grabbed the pant leg of his left leg.

Then he rolled it up.

A silver-white metallic luster was exposed.

The lights shone on the metal surface, reflecting blinding light.

In that moment, all sound in the venue disappeared.

The sound of breathing, the discussions, everything stopped.

One second.

Two seconds.

"Click! Click, click, click, click, click!"

Countless flashes in the media section lit up, aimed at Xiao Yu's left leg.

The expert who had stood up swayed slightly and sat back down in his chair.

The reporter who had shouted about falsified data opened his mouth, and the camera in his hand almost fell to the ground.

In the front row, those sitting in wheelchairs and leaning on crutches leaned forward in unison.

They stretched their necks, wanting to see more clearly.

Xiao Yu straightened up.

He did not let down his rolled-up pant leg.

That silver-white mechanical leg was just like that, displayed in everyone's sight.

"This is just the beginning," Chen Xu's voice sounded again.

In the audience.

That neurosurgeon held his head with both hands.

He buried his face in his palms.

Tactile feedback.

This is a difficult point in the fields of neurology and medical devices.

Today, it was realized by a mobile phone company.

The Q&A session began.

The reporters below raised their arms like a forest.

A blonde, blue-eyed man was the first to grab the microphone handed over by a staff member.

He was a special correspondent for CNN.

He stood up and looked at Chen Xu on the stage.

"Mr. Chen, on behalf of hundreds of millions of disabled people around the world, I would like to express my respect to you and Star Technology."

Then, the question became sharp.

"Such a great technology belongs to all of humanity. May I ask, will Star Technology prioritize providing this product to developed Western countries with stronger medical payment capabilities?"

After the question was asked.

The domestic reporters at the scene all looked at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu looked at that reporter.

"You have made a mistake about one thing."

He spoke.

"Star Technology is a Chinese enterprise."

The smile on the CNN reporter's face disappeared.

Chen Xu continued.

"Before all domestic needs are met."

His voice, through the speakers, was resolute.

"The 'Walker' series will not be exported."

"No licensing."

"No transferring."

The scene was quiet for a second.

Applause erupted in the domestic media section.

That applause spread rapidly from one point to the entire venue.

Countless domestic viewers stood up and applauded.

The area of the foreign reporters was livid.

Online live streaming room.

The barrage at this moment completely covered the screen.

【Tough!】

【This is what a Chinese enterprise should look like!】

【Teary-eyed, why am I applauding.】

【From today on, I am a lifelong fan of Xingchen!】

Chen Xu ignored the reaction below the stage.

He waited for the applause to stop.

The demonstration ended.

Everyone knew that there was one last, and most critical, question remaining.

Price.

Such cutting-edge technology.

Such a disruptive product.

Its selling price would inevitably be an astronomical figure.

500,000?

1,000,000?

Or even higher?

The light on the faces of those special audience members in the front row dimmed.

The longing in their eyes turned into a pipe dream.

The image on the black background board behind Chen Xu switched again.

White numbers began to jump rapidly on the screen.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, following those jumping numbers.

Finally, the numbers stopped.

It froze.
