What the hell is this?
Liu Shun was stunned when he saw that he had woken up the child. He stood there with his two robotic arms stretched out, motionless, not knowing what to do next.
Because it is a household assistance robot, not a childcare robot.
Childcare robots require higher levels of mechanical intelligence and cannot be handled by simple household robots.
Simply put, Liushun crashed because the external affairs that needed to be handled exceeded the load that a robot like Liushun could handle.
Then, Wu Fu slowly stretched out his little hand and curiously poked Liu Shun's metal head, which looked like an upside-down half ball.
Beep...beep...beep...
Liushun immediately sounded a low alarm, but the sound was not loud and did not reach beyond the bedroom.
Then, a red light flashed in its electronic eyes, and the extended robotic arm retracted.
Wu Fu thought he was in trouble, so he quickly retracted his hand and hid his entire little head under the quilt.
Liu Shun stood quietly for five minutes, and then there was a clicking sound in the mechanical head, and it restarted.
She walked around the bedroom, packing up the clothes that needed to be washed, and then she also cleaned up Xia Chujian's room.
When it left with the laundry basket, it considerately closed the bedroom door.
…
In the restaurant, Xia Yuanfang put out the prepared breakfast and chatted with Quan Yuxun while eating.
Quan Yuxun greeted, "What does Aunt Xia do for a living?"
Xia Yuanfang said: "I used to be a senior researcher at Li's Pharmaceuticals, but then I got sick and lost my job."
Quan Yuxun looked thoughtful and said, "You mean you were fired by Li's Pharmaceuticals because you were sick? That's illegal. If you need it, I can provide you with legal assistance and sue Li's Pharmaceuticals to compensate you for your losses."
Xia Yuanfang said, "I know what they do is dishonest, and I don't want to continue working for them. But I thank Chief Quan for his kindness."
"polite."
When Quan Yuxun had eaten half of his meal and started drinking the unicorn milk, Xia Yuanfang said, "But Chief Quan, I do have some legal matters I'd like to consult you on. Of course, it's not a formal legal matter, I'm just curious about the laws of the Beichen Empire."
"As you said, I'm just chatting with you and sharing my views. It's not a formal legal consultation, so we can speak freely." Quan Yuxun also spoke without making any mistakes.
Xia Yuanfang didn't need formal legal advice. She just wanted to get a deeper understanding of certain legal provisions from the empire's highest law-making body.
Xia Yuanfang said, "Well, I plan to open a reproductive assistance studio after the Chinese New Year."
Quan Yuxun said, "Oh," and became interested. "Assisted reproduction? Is it IVF? In this regard, both the Imperial Hospital and Li's Hospital have very mature technology."
Xia Yuanfang smiled.
She knew that the Beichen Empire's understanding of "reproductive assistance" was limited to "test-tube babies."
But otherwise, imperial law completely prohibited research.
Xia Yuanfang said, "I know that if I only do IVF, there will be no business. The Imperial Hospital's official services are of high quality and low price, while the Li's Private Hospital is high-end and sophisticated. What else can my small workshop do? What I want to do is to help those humans and humanoids who have difficulty conceiving, so that they can use their own functions to give birth to healthy offspring."
Quan Yuxun pondered, "You mean, instead of using in vitro fertilization, you're allowing the human body or a humanoid to repair its own defects so that a healthy baby can be conceived."
He is indeed worthy of being the chief legal adviser of the Senate.
As soon as he heard it, he knew what Xia Yuanfang wanted to do.
If we really do "assistance" in this area, it is inevitable that it will have something to do with genes.
Quan Yuxun now truly understood why Xia Yuanfang specifically came to him for advice.
This is a test of where the legal red line lies in imperial law prohibiting genetic research.
There are always gray areas in the law.
The gray area is also divided into several different levels: dark gray, light gray and gray-like.
Only the legal level that appears gray can be barely considered legal, while the rest of the dark gray and light gray cannot withstand legal scrutiny.
Quan Yuxun thought for a moment and said, "The Empire doesn't have any clear laws on this matter. It only stipulates that individuals can conduct research on reproductive technologies, utilizing all available natural means. Therefore, these methods certainly don't include anything related to genetic research."
Xia Yuanfang nodded. "I'm just thinking about this. Regarding excluding anything related to genetic research, are there any provisions in imperial law, or are there any precedents? Let me see."
"I'm a scientific researcher. The essence of scientific research is the exploration of the unknown. So when we're doing research, it's hard to know whether a certain direction is related to genetic research or not. So if Chief Quan could provide some specific cases, I think I'd understand it more thoroughly."
Quan Yuxun still had a smile on his face as warm as the spring breeze in April.
He said, "To be honest, among all the cases involving genetic research in the Empire, none of them are actually related to genetic research. The vast majority of cases are treated as serious crimes because someone said something, such as saying that genetic research should be liberalized, or saying that humanoids are the same as humans, just evolving in different directions of genetics."
