Chapter 267: Chapter 87: Thief_2

Luckily, Su Xiaocai isn’t part of their track and won’t be serving as a judge; otherwise, with her bluntness in openly criticizing what she dislikes, she’d surely offend people.

…

On Sunday, ten people from the Patent Bureau will come over to review Su Xiaocai’s patents, conduct on-site questioning, and expedite the review process.

The principal was in a hurry, not because of the Patent Bureau’s people.

The real reason is that they are bringing along some extra interests.

Admiral Bai, who is on vacation, will also be present.

As soon as the frontline is slightly reorganized, Admiral Bai comes, so the principal can’t help but follow up.

They have seen people from the Patent Bureau many times; each time a sample is sent over, there are numerous issues, sometimes requiring a personal visit.

It’s nothing unusual anymore.

Admiral Bai is different; the principal will definitely strive to get him to give a lecture at the school.

The principal granted Su Xiaocai access to the school’s workshop, which is well-equipped and spacious, usually used by senior students and professors as a laboratory.

Students need to apply and spend a hundred points for a day, just as expensive as entering and leaving the school gates.

This workshop was just recently used, with a smell of fresh paint lingering inside.

It looks like the previous user didn’t finish long ago.

Su Xiaocai quickly maneuvered the safety cabin and a mechanical limb as tall as a normal person.

Beside her feet lay a pile of components, plus a Rubik’s cube.

A new style vest was also added; such small items may not show much technology on the surface, but the synthesized material is top-notch. Used on Mechas, it can withstand high heat lava without issue.

In terms of patents, Wei Laiwen has more exposure.

That’s why the principal invited Wei Laiwen.

They plan to have him teach Su Xiaocai how to deal with those from the Patent Bureau.

As soon as Wei Laiwen came over, he completely forgot about guiding because he was captivated by the mechanical limb.

Carefully navigating the pile of components, he approached the mechanical arm.

Taking out a magnifying glass, he dared not touch it, observing every detail closely from all angles. The more he looked, the more intrigued he became, wanting to try it out.

His curious hand reached out multiple times, only to pull back.

Samples couldn’t be touched lightly; breaking them would be troublesome.

Wei Laiwen suppressed his urge to explore and watched intently with the principal as Su Xiaocai patiently handled everything.

The pile of components was quickly moved and assembled into its designated place.

Su Xiaocai casually addressed the principal and Wei Laiwen, “Teachers, feel free to take a closer look; I have more than one backup.”

Wei Laiwen nodded emphatically, “Alright, alright, I won’t damage anything.” He would never ruin a student’s hard work.

Both he and the principal focused on the mechanical limbs.

At the school, few people study equipment for the disabled; this kind of thing simply isn’t very profitable.

After development, it would be officially restricted to sell within a certain price range.

After all, most of the disabled community have fewer savings than their passwords.

So, funding needs to be allocated annually for someone to be willing to study.

The appearance mimics real skin but feels hard to the touch.

A transparent green band runs throughout the mechanical arm, exuding a strong sense of technology.

Wei Laiwen weighed it and found it slightly lighter than a normal arm. Though he had seen lightweight mechanical arms before, overall practicality was lacking compared to heavier ones.

Since the arm is replaced with a mechanical one.

Missing the agility of human fingers requires additional functionalities to compensate for the drawbacks.

Since Su Xiaocai dared to challenge the imitation arms, surely there must be merits.

“May I try it?”

Su Xiaocai did not say much more, turning to unlock the arm and attaching the sensor wristband to Wei Laiwen’s arm.

The principal also donned one; Wei Laiwen wore it on his right arm, and he wore it on his left.

This is for those with intact limbs to feel the arm, but when it comes to mechanical limbs specifically for the disabled, there won’t be sensor wristbands.

Wei Laiwen clenched his fist, the mechanical hand did so too, then he relaxed. His arm stayed still, only signaling in his mind to clench, and the mechanical arm immediately responded.

Almost in sync with thought speed.

Wei Laiwen directed the mechanical arm through various motions, and it kept up; even rotating the arm mirrored human movement, without any sense of delay.

After playing for a while, he began to read the manual.

It mentioned that the arm could transform to perform tasks that ordinary arms couldn’t.

Transformation…

Wei Laiwen curiously tried the first mode, where the palm transformed into a tool suitable for climbing. Then, with another change, the alloy extended and thinned, forming a magnetic field to enhance signal strength.

Altogether over ten modes—transforming from an ordinary person into a superhero.

Faced with such a powerful mechanical arm, Wei Laiwen suddenly felt tempted to modify himself.
