Chapter 107 The Timid Him (19) I'm Proud to Have My Motherland by My Side…
Before we knew it, it was getting dark.
Song Ce realized it was time to leave, so he stood up and politely said goodbye to Wei's mother and Wei Yunqing, "Auntie, it's getting late, I should go back now. I'm so sorry to have bothered you today."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei looked reluctant and quickly tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Little Song, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you stay at Auntie's house for a simple meal before you go? Auntie bought a lot of good food today!"
Song Ce smiled and politely declined, saying, "Auntie, really, there's no need. I'll visit you again next time I have the chance."
Wei Yunqing also stood up and followed Song Ce to the door, saying softly, "Thank you for taking my mother home today. I hope to see you again in the future."
Upon hearing this, Song Ce slightly turned his head, his gaze meeting Wei Yunqing's clear eyes. A slight thought crossed his mind, and he gently asked, "In the future, I may need a highly skilled English translator for my work. If you'd like, could I consult you in the future?"
“Yes, of course.” Wei Yunqing readily agreed. She turned around, picked up a pen and paper from the bookshelf next to her, wrote down her contact information, and handed it to Song Ce.
Song Ce took the slip of paper, carefully tore off the blank paper at the bottom, took out a pen from his pocket, wrote down his number, and handed it to Wei Yunqing.
Their fingertips touched unintentionally, and a subtle ripple seemed to spread through the air.
After leaving Wei Yunqing's house, Liu Junzhou looked at Song Ce's seemingly calm face, suppressing a laugh. Only after leaving Nanyuan Residential Area did Liu Junzhou finally manage to tease him, "Comrade Song Ce, what a wonderful coincidence that you and Auntie had today!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Song Ce's face as he coughed lightly. "I just saw that Auntie was having a lot of trouble getting around by herself, so I was just helping her out."
Liu Junzhou smiled and shook his head, saying knowingly, "I understand, I understand." After saying that, he didn't say anything more.
Along the way, Liu Junzhou keenly noticed that Comrade Song Ce seemed to be in a much more relaxed and cheerful mood than before.
After the group entered the Armed Forces Research Department, Song Ce went straight to his research lab. At that moment, Elder He had just finished the performance testing of the second-generation Yi Ying. He had just stepped into the research institute when he caught sight of the familiar, tall figure at the door.
"Comrade Song!" Old He greeted him warmly with a smile.
"Mr. He, is this the new second-generation Yi Ying? It looks much lighter than before. What new features did you add?" Song Ce leaned down slightly, looked down at the brand-new second-generation Yi Ying, and asked with a curious expression.
"That's right! We've added gesture interaction and facial recognition to the second-generation Yi Ying! The new second-generation Yi Ying is 30% lighter overall, 15% smaller in size than the first-generation Yi Ying, and has 120 degrees of freedom in its limbs!" Mr. He said happily.
"In this way, the second-generation Yi Ying's athletic ability and precision of movement will inevitably be even more outstanding," Song Ce exclaimed sincerely.
"Yes!" Old He exclaimed, then suddenly slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory! Comrade Song, didn't the organization give you a month's leave? Why are you back in the research lab so soon?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ce replied earnestly, "I've had a good rest these past few days. I happened to have some new inspiration while I was out today, so I thought I'd go back to the lab first to test out my basic ideas."
"Alright, alright. Then I won't bother you any longer, Comrade Song. You should go back and do your research!" Old He said excitedly.
After Song Ce walked away, a researcher with disheveled hair emerged from the nearby research lab. Old He smiled at him and asked with a kind expression, "Little Lu, still working overtime?"
“Yes, Professor He, there are still five data points that need to be retested,” the researcher named Lu Wenbin replied.
"Alright, no rush. The worst thing for us researchers is to be impatient. If we're anxious, our thoughts will easily get confused, and if our minds are in a mess, our research is likely to go wrong," Professor He advised.
"yes……"
As Lu Wenbin watched Professor He walk into the research room, he couldn't help but turn back to look in the direction Song Ce had left. He thought to himself, "Can someone really gain research inspiration just by going out for a walk? I wonder when I'll be able to have such high personal value as Comrade Song Ce?"
Sitting in the research lab, Song Ce's mind was filled with the image of Wei's mother groping her way forward with her white cane. He couldn't help but mentally call out to 702: "System, how many uses are left of the Dream Disc, the reward from the last world's mission?"
702: "Host, one round left. Should I repeat the details of the soul energy rewards from the last world for you?"
Song Ce nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
702: Ding! The details of the "Prodigal Brother" world quest are as follows: Protect your mother and sister's happiness for life. Quest completion rate 100%, gain 1500 Soul Energy; trigger title: Peerless Hero, reward 500 Soul Energy. Due to quest requirements, staying in the world until the quest target's death will not deduct additional Soul Energy. Total Soul Energy gained from this quest: 2000, current total Soul Energy: 3840. This world reward items randomly drop x2: [Dream Disc x1], item description: limited use item, can materialize thoughts for research, can be used three times; [Mist King Water x1], item description: disposable item, can instantly dissolve all matter in this world, total 500ml.
After 702 finished broadcasting, Song Ce looked up at the moon in the night sky and murmured, "Since there is still one chance, I have figured out how to use it."
...
Before he knew it, Zhao Mingjun had graduated from the Materials Science and Engineering program at Beijing University of Science and Technology.
On the eve of graduation, he received an offer from the Armed Forces Research Department, inviting him to join the department as a research assistant for his internship.
Zhao Mingjun stared at the email on the computer in disbelief, looking at it over and over again, hardly able to believe his eyes.
Logically speaking, he ranked only thirty-second among the outstanding graduates of Beijing University of Science and Technology, a spot that should never have been his. But the moment he met Song Ce in the Armed Forces Research Department, he immediately understood the reason for this arrangement.
It's all thanks to Brother Ce! What's that old saying again? When Brother Ce attains enlightenment, Zhao Mingjun ascends to heaven with him!
When Zhang Ruiyu, who was far away in Shanghai, learned that Zhao Mingjun had actually been admitted to the Armed Forces Research Department, he was overjoyed. He immediately took out a large sum of money from his own pocket and donated it without hesitation to some reputable charities, as a way of doing his part.
Since it's inconvenient to hold a large banquet, surely no one will stop him from doing some good deeds!
Some well-established and influential companies naturally learned immediately that Zhang Ruiyu's nephew, the president of Yaohua Group, had joined the Armed Forces Research and Development Department. Coupled with Yaohua Group's already good reputation and high-quality products, the number of people visiting Zhang Ruiyu to discuss cooperation increased significantly.
Three years later.
The successful development of Song Ce's "bionic" series of ideas was like a bombshell, once again shocking the entire Armed Forces Research Department.
Initially, the "bionic prosthetic eye" was just a new type of assistive living device that Song Ce had previously developed. Through surgical implantation, the necrotic eyeballs of blind people could be removed and replaced with the new bionic prosthetic eye, which could help many blind people in China who were trapped in darkness to regain their sight.
The first patient to receive a bionic prosthetic eye was Wei Yunqing's mother.
Wei's mother's blindness was caused by an accident. She thought she would spend the rest of her life in darkness, but she never expected that the young man she met by chance on the overpass would be such a remarkable person.
Three days after she underwent the implantation of the bionic prosthetic eye, still somewhat dazed, the gauze covering her eyes was slowly removed. Beside her bed were not only her husband and daughter, but also a handsome young man with a gentle demeanor.
She almost immediately recognized the person in front of her as the kind-hearted young man. "You are... Xiao Song?"
“Auntie, it’s me. Can you see me?” the young man asked with concern.
"It's possible, it's possible!" Wei's mother felt a sudden stinging in her eyes. She raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye, and sure enough, her fingertips were wet.
"Mom! You can see again!" Wei Yunqing's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with excitement. She rushed forward and hugged her mother tightly, choking back tears, "That's wonderful! Mom! That's wonderful!"
The family hugged and talked for a long time in the ward. Seeing this, Song Ce smiled, considerately closed the ward door, and left the three of them alone.
Three months after the successful development of the bionic prosthetic eye, the bionic prosthetic limb was also unveiled.
After three years of testing, China solemnly announced Song Ce's "bionic" series to the world.
When Chinese people learned that blind people and people with disabilities who are blind or blind due to birth or later can regain their health by implanting bionic prosthetic eyes or limbs, a heated discussion instantly broke out on the Internet.
"A bionic prosthetic eye? Is what Mom said true or false?"
"I don't think it's very reliable. We're in the 21st century, not the 210th. If something that powerful really existed, ordinary people like us couldn't afford to have it implanted!"
"Hey upstairs, you probably haven't seen Mom's latest announcement, have you? It's being reported by official news outlets, how could it be fake?"
"I checked the prices of the bionic series, and they're not even that expensive! Plus, there are no usage restrictions! It's suitable for both adults and children! Apart from regular maintenance, the bionic prosthetic eye has a lifespan of about 20 years! The bionic prosthetic limb can last up to 30 years!"
"Great! Does this mean my brother can stand up and walk again? I need to go buy one and try it out!"
"I'm going too! My daughter was born blind, and no matter how expensive this bionic prosthetic eye is, I'm going to buy one for her!"
Anyone with a sound mind could foresee the explosive popularity of the bionic series. It's like a technological revolution, completely changing the lives of countless people. Upon learning that Song Ce was only twenty-one years old, online clamor for the founder of the bionic series grew even stronger.
Song Ce's existence seems to have shown people all over the world the infinite possibilities of China's future scientific research.
The fact that China has produced such an outstanding research talent has elicited varying reactions from different countries.
Countries that have friendly relations with China immediately sent congratulatory telegrams and inquired whether they could import the bionic products. They were willing to pay high prices to purchase them, hoping to benefit disabled people in their countries.
For these friendly nations, China was naturally generous, selling them the bionic prosthetics at a price only a few times higher than the original price. This act demonstrated China's responsibility as a major power while also upholding the value of its technological achievements. However, for those countries with whom China had only a moderate relationship, things were different; they had to pay exorbitant prices, as these were not simply technological advancements, but the culmination of the hard work and wisdom of a great Eastern power!
At this time, the Western superpower S country jumped out and claimed that it would pay a huge sum of money to buy China's entire series of biomimetic research and development technologies, which was naturally rejected by China. S country gritted its teeth and invested a lot of resources to build a top-notch research team. They worked hard in the laboratory for ten years, but still had no clue.
Left with no other choice, Country S had to grit its teeth and continue to buy from China at high prices, feeling resentful but helpless.
With the continuous updates and iterations of the bionic series, China has gained many unexpected and substantial benefits from bionic technology in various countries. Later, the organization decisively sold the research and development technology of the first-generation bionic series to Country S for an astonishingly high price.
Country S was overjoyed after acquiring the research and development technology for the first-generation bionic series. They immediately distributed all the classified information to top research teams, hoping to develop the latest generation of bionic series and seize this huge "cake" from China. However, they underestimated the difficulty of developing bionic technology and also underestimated the wisdom of Chinese researchers.
Finally, after eight years of research, Country S developed the bionic PR series, based on the bionic series.
In May of the same year, S country confidently held a global press conference for its bionic PR series. They invited media from all over the world, attempting to take this opportunity to showcase their scientific research achievements to countries around the world and loudly proclaim S country's rise in the field of bionics.
However, what Country S didn't expect was that at the same time, China, through its annual live broadcast, unveiled its robotic dog concept to the world for the first time. The robotic dog's debut fully demonstrated China's outstanding strength in the field of artificial intelligence.
China's move instantly attracted worldwide attention and sparked heated discussions among people around the globe. Ultimately, Country S's bionic PR series could only end in failure and was abandoned.
In this technological contest, China once again demonstrated its formidable strength in scientific research to the world. And Song Ce is undoubtedly the brightest star in China's scientific and technological field.

Author's Note: Made some simple revisions, I'm so busy I'm spinning like a top [crying emoji]
I sincerely hope that one day a bionic series will actually appear on the market! [Sprinkling flowers]
