Chapter 235 Come on, let's walk a few steps!

"Neural Induction Prosthetics?!"

A wave of irrepressible gasps and uproar erupted from the audience, and almost everyone immediately wore an expression of disbelief.

"Did I hear that right? Neural induction? Is it what I think it means?"

"Isn't Xingchen Technology into biological beauty products? How did they suddenly cross over into medical devices, and in such a high-tech field at that?"

"This concept has been hyped for so many years without any real breakthroughs. Have they really achieved it?"

"Could it just be a gimmick? It sounds too sci-fi."

"Let's wait and see, let's wait and see. Things created by Jiang Jing cannot be judged by common sense..."

Whispers and hushed conversations broke out in every corner.

People's curiosity was completely ignited, but there was more skepticism and a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, the concept of "Neural Induction" has been mentioned in the field of Prosthetic limb for many years, yet it has always been difficult to truly achieve civilian and practical use, as its technical barriers are extremely high.

However, the eyes of Staff Officer Zhang, Deputy Director Liu, Elder Qin, and others sitting in the first row instantly became incredibly sharp and focused.

They knew better than anyone what it would mean if this technology became a reality.

Their bodies leaned forward involuntarily, staring intently at the stage, afraid of missing any detail.

Jiang Yan took in the reactions of everyone in the audience; she had long expected this.

She kept a confident smile on her face and raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

"I know that everyone must be full of questions and curiosity. No matter how good a concept sounds, it is not as real as witnessing it with your own eyes."

Her gaze turned to the front row of the audience. "Next, we will invite a special participant to the stage. He is not a professional model, nor is he our employee; he is just an ordinary disabled veteran—Mr. Li Jian."

The spotlight immediately hit Li Jian, who had just been guided to the side of the stage by staff.

Suddenly focused on by countless eyes and cameras, Li Jian's heart rate accelerated, but he took a deep breath and straightened his back.

As a soldier who had once undergone rigorous training, this kind of scene was not enough to make him stage-frightened.

He walked to the center of the stage, leaning on his crutches.

Jiang Yan walked to his side, her tone filled with respect: "Mr. Li Jian was once an excellent soldier who lost his left lower leg in an accident. Today, he will personally demonstrate the efficacy of the Prosthetic limb for us."

As she spoke, Jiang Yan waved her hand, and two staff members carefully pushed a platform covered with a red cloth onto the stage.

The red cloth was lifted, revealing a mechanical Prosthetic limb with an incredibly precise structure and a sense of futuristic technology to everyone.

Its lines were smooth and graceful, and the joint design was masterfully crafted. Although it was not yet covered with bionic skin, the cold metallic texture added a sense of powerful beauty.

A collective gasp of air sounded instantly from the audience; the appearance alone was far beyond their understanding of traditional Prosthetic limb.

Jiang Yan began to introduce it in detail: "The core of the Prosthetic limb lies in the neural signal analysis and feedback system uniquely created by our CEO Jiang."

"It can capture the weak electrical signals emitted by the user's nerve endings in real-time, instantly decode them through a built-in ultra-high-performance chip, and convert them into precise movement commands to drive the Prosthetic limb to perform corresponding actions."

"Even more miraculously, through pressure and tactile sensors, it can feed external information back in real-time, simulating a near-real sense of touch, truly achieving 'what you think is what you move, what you touch is what you feel'!"

This introduction left the audience confused yet deeply shocked!

"Now, let us invite Mr. Li Jian to experience it on the spot." Jiang Yan nodded at Li Jian.

Li Jian looked at the mechanical leg in front of him that seemed to have come from the future, his breathing becoming rapid.

Under the guidance of Jiang Yan and the staff, he sat on the chair nearby, carefully rolled up the empty pant leg of his left leg, and revealed the amputation site.

Many people in the audience subconsciously held their breath, and some women even turned their heads away, unable to bear it.

The staff skillfully helped Li Jian connect, fix, and lock the socket of the Prosthetic limb to his residual limb.

The whole process was fast and professional.

"Okay, now try to stand up, adjust the height slowly, and let it fully adapt to your gait." Jiang Yan instructed softly.

Li Jian took a deep breath, supported himself with his hands on the chair, and stood up slowly.

Following the instructions, he gently pressed a hidden adjustment knob on the ankle of the Prosthetic limb a few times.

The next second, his eyes widened sharply, and his face instantly erupted with an expression of extreme shock and ecstasy.

"I can feel it! I can feel it!" His voice was slightly off-key with excitement, and he looked down at the cold mechanical leg in disbelief, as if looking at some miracle.

"It feels like it's my own leg! I can feel it stepping on the ground! I can even feel the hardness of the ground! This... this is too amazing! CEO Jiang! This is too amazing!"

His heartfelt, almost uncontrolled excited reaction spread throughout the venue via the microphone and was transmitted to everyone watching the live broadcast through the camera lenses!

The audience was instantly silent!

Everyone was stunned by Li Jian's ecstatic reaction, which didn't seem fake at all!

"Is it real? Is it acting?"

"This reaction... it's too real..."

"Could it be a plant? But looking at his leg..."

"Let's wait and see, let's wait and see!"

Voices of skepticism still existed, but they were now mixed with more shock and uncertainty.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said to Li Jian: "Mr. Li Jian, now, just like controlling your own leg, take two steps."

Li Jian could hardly wait.

He first carefully took a step forward—steady, very steady, without the slightest lack of coordination.

He grew bolder and started to walk faster, even trying a light jog.

The movements were smooth and natural, and there was almost no sign of a limp.

Then, in the astonished eyes of the crowd, he made an even more astonishing move—he jumped lightly in place twice, then performed a standard deep squat.

Furthermore, following Jiang Yan's prompt, he even tried to move the "ankle" and "toes"!

The ankle of the mechanical Prosthetic limb could be seen turning flexibly from side to side, and the mechanical toes at the front could even perform a gripping motion!

All of this was as easy and natural as controlling his own original limb.

There was not the slightest delay, obstruction, or mechanical feel.

"Oh my god!!!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

"This isn't special effects, right?!"

"Even the most advanced smart Prosthetic limb currently available can't reach this level. This smoothness... this flexibility..."

The audience completely exploded!

Exclamations, questions, and exclamations of admiration rose one after another!

All the reporters were frantically pressing their shutters, and the camera lenses were locked onto Li Jian and his incredible mechanical leg.

If it weren't for the ultra-high-definition lenses clearly capturing Li Jian's amputated leg, everyone would have thought this was some kind of advanced sleight of hand or movie special effect!
