"Now reporters may ask questions."
The staff randomly picked a reporter from a major domestic media outlet.
When will the robotic prosthetic limbs and powered skeletons be officially available for sale?
"Given the special nature of mechanical prostheses, we are now accepting reservations on the National Medical Products Administration's Weibo account. Currently, we are only accepting reservations from people with disabilities. Those who make reservations must bring a disability certificate or a certificate issued by a hospital and a photo of themselves."
"After making an appointment, those who need a mechanical prosthesis can go to a private hospital near their home for surgery."
"If you need a power skeleton, just buy it directly from the official store."
"How much do powered skeletons and robotic limbs cost?"
"The powered skeleton comes in half-body and full-body sizes. The half-body version costs 80,000 yuan, while the full-body version costs 120,000 yuan."
"As for robotic prosthetics, the prices are not that high. The robotic arm costs 20,000 yuan, the robotic leg costs 30,000 yuan, and the robotic eyes and ears each cost 50,000 yuan."
At this moment, a blonde, blue-eyed American reporter stood up and pointedly asked, "I just tried to make an appointment on Weibo, but I couldn't. Is this a scam in China?"
The staff member smiled and replied, "Sorry, due to production shortage, we are not selling it to the public at the moment, so you can't make an appointment."
The reporter from the United States was so angry that his face was distorted, and he screamed: "You are discriminating against us people!"
Western journalists present at the event accused China of racial discrimination, asking why it did not sell mechanical prosthetic limbs to foreign countries.
The staff member cursed these shameless people in their hearts, then said with a sullen face, "We're not considering overseas issues right now because we don't have enough production capacity. We need to consider domestic issues first."
"Please don't turn this issue into one of discrimination. We in China do not discriminate against anyone."
"If you continue to make trouble, please leave the press conference."
These reporters are not stupid. Such big news will definitely be the headlines tomorrow, so they can only sit down obediently.
Next, we will continue with the question-and-answer session with reporters.
"When will China consider exporting prosthetic limbs?"
"Based on current production capacity, we won't be considering exports this year."
"What powers robotic prosthetics and powered skeletons? Batteries or charging?"
"The power source for the robotic prostheses and powered skeletons is the most advanced hydrogen metal battery. A single battery can essentially guarantee their lifetime use."
"If the battery is completely depleted, we can replace it for free."
"Excuse me………"
………
There was nothing interesting to say afterwards, so Tang Qingxi and his companions quietly left the press conference.
After I came out and opened my phone, I found that some quick media outlets had already reported the news about powered skeletons and mechanical prosthetic limbs.
Someone also released the video of the scene, and in just a short time, the video had hundreds of thousands of comments.
The first few entries on Weibo are all about mechanical prostheses.
"Surprise! my country develops a robotic prosthetic limb that's ahead of its time"
"Bang! There may be no disabled people in the future."
"Powered bones allow paralyzed people to stand up again"
"Hurry up and go to the Food and Drug Administration's Weibo to make an appointment for a mechanical prosthesis!"
Countless people with disabilities and those who have disabled relatives and friends have made appointments for mechanical prostheses under the guidance of the State Food and Drug Administration's Weibo.
Soon, the millions of mechanical prosthetic limbs in stock were booked out, and countless netizens were told that the mechanical prosthetic limbs were sold out as soon as they posted on Weibo.
Weibo is full of comments begging the country to speed up production.
At this time, the Food and Drug Administration angrily issued a scarf,
Healthy people please don't come here to book a mechanical prosthesis! Don't come here to book a powered skeleton! Leave the opportunity to those who need it!!!
The exclamation mark in this scarf is enough to show the anger of the censor.
People who didn't know the situation kept asking what happened in the comments section of Weibo.
