Chapter 276 Deep Virtual Reality 103
"I remember your punching power test last time was 415 pounds?"
"Yes, the left-hand punching force is 207 pounds, and the right-hand punching force is 415 pounds. In terms of actual damage, it is even higher." After all, the right hand is equipped with a prosthetic limb, and it has been modified.
This shows how hard the fish's brain is.
While the two were still on their way to the infirmary, one of Zhan Lin's team members ran over. Xie Ning recognized him as the security guard who had raised his gun but was stopped by Professor Lillian.
"Captain, Professor Lillian said we should catch some more fish from the sea for experiments." As long as we take proper precautions, no matter how powerful the fish is, it's still just a fish.
Zhan Lin nodded slightly, "You guys prepare the tools first, I'll be there after I'm done."
"Although work is important, my own safety is also important," Xie Ning said, watching the security guard's departing figure.
Zhan Lin understood Xie Ning's implication, but her expression remained indifferent. "This kind of thing is normal. Our lives are inherently inferior to others. If our death can bring us something of greater value in their eyes, then it is worthwhile."
Although it is often said that all lives are equal, this is difficult to achieve in reality.
However, I will still try my best to protect myself. After all, everyone wants to live, and I am confident that I can choose the option that is more beneficial to me without endangering my life.
They were just ordinary people, nothing more than bodyguards. In movies and TV shows, they were insignificant characters. Once they died, they were gone. No one ever cared whether they wanted to live or what their reasons were for choosing to die.
Seeing Xie Ning's dazed expression, Zhan Lin comforted her, "Although security guards don't earn particularly high salaries, the compensation we receive if we are injured or killed is very high, enough to support our families for at least ten years."
Moreover, since these are private tasks, not official business, the pay is much higher.
Although they were following orders, weren't they also after the generous reward? Since they accepted the assignment, they should have anticipated the consequences, and complaining was really unnecessary.
"It's good that you're able to take it easy." Xie Ning opened the metal door. Inside the medical room, cries and screams of pain could be heard continuously. Outside, several crew members who had brought people in were sitting.
Instead of sympathy, their faces showed a hint of envy.
"Although Lang Yuan was injured this time, he was very lucky. The higher-ups not only agreed to replace his limb with a prosthetic, but also gave him a reward of 30,000 yuan."
Losing an arm is nothing; you can just get a prosthetic. Some prosthetics are even better than the original arm.
"Yes, I guess you could say this is a blessing in disguise."
Whether it was truly a blessing or not, Xie Ning didn't know, but she knew that a prosthetic limb would never be better than a person's original arm, except for those who had to wear prosthetics due to congenital or accidental disabilities.
Humans are born with the Qi of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. The changes of Yin and Yang are endless. Losing what we were born with and grafting on what we acquired, whether it is a prosthetic limb or a bionic organ, will cause the Qi in our body to become unbalanced.
This is from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine. To put it simply, it's like the human immune system, which can be the body's best "doctor" or "protector." It can consciously identify, attack, and eliminate various bacteria and viruses from the outside world, as well as various lesions and cancerous cells within the body.
However, it is also the biggest obstacle for transplant patients, namely the two-way transplant rejection reaction, in which the body's immune cells attack the foreign organ, and the foreign organ also rejects the body.
However, for real human organs, the rejection reaction of biological human organs, purely mechanical devices, electronic bionic devices, and prosthetics is smaller, but it still exists.
Although there are specific anti-rejection drugs, they are not absolutely effective.
Therefore, the original is still better. Of course, you should make different choices depending on the situation. The boatman who lost his arm in the accident was able to get a free prosthetic limb and a decent compensation, which is some consolation.
