In the following days, Lu An led his team to continue fighting on the front lines, preparing to finalize the product.
During this process, they encountered some difficulties and challenges, because Lu An wanted to make this product both easy to use and affordable for the general public.
When making the joints for the robotic arm, how to make the joints both flexible and stable, while keeping the cost budget as low as possible, was no small challenge.
The team tried various materials and design structures, undergoing many trials and failures.
But with Lu An's five hundred years of accumulated knowledge, he quickly found a suitable solution. This efficiency was actually quite astonishing; even the big companies in the industry couldn't have solved it so quickly.
For the power system, due to cost and size constraints, Lu An personally developed a miniaturized motor.
After several improvements, it finally met the requirements.
Everyone became increasingly convinced by their boss. Whenever a problem arose, he would quickly solve it, and the longer they worked, the more hopeful they felt.
Unconsciously, two months passed like this.
The entire team was immersed in intense and orderly work, and no one resigned during this period.
The work intensity was indeed very high, but everyone had only one goal: to polish the company's first product.
During working hours, if they were hungry, they would just eat instant noodles to get by.
If they were tired, they would nap on the sofa for a while.
Everyone saw that Lu An's daily work intensity was the same as theirs, or even higher, because he had more things to deal with.
Since the boss led by example, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
Now, three months have passed since the company was founded, and they will see results in at most three more months.
…
Mid-September arrived.
The first Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm was finally successfully manufactured.
Lu An led his team through several months of arduous work, and under limited conditions, they almost entirely handcrafted this advanced Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm.
At this moment, everyone looked at this Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm and felt it was all worth it.
"Boss, I've brought the person over."
Everyone looked over at the sound. He Liang arrived at the factory, accompanied by another unfamiliar man.
The unfamiliar man was a relative of He Liang. The company needed a volunteer, and He Liang's relative happened to be a physically disabled person who had lost an arm.
The man was brought over, and after a brief chat, they got straight to the point.
He Liang's relative sat down as instructed and took off his shirt.
Several employees installed the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs on him, and it was quickly done.
More than twenty employees gathered around to watch. Lu An glanced at the computer screen next to him and then said, "Try to control it."
Upon hearing this, He Liang's relative took a deep breath and tried to move his arm.
At first, the movements were a bit stiff, but as the sensors and control algorithms adaptively adjusted, he gradually got used to it, and the movements of the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs arm became more and more natural.
"I... I can feel it moving with my thoughts!" He Liang's relative immediately became excited, staring intently at the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs.
This scene not only excited him, but the employees present were also greatly invigorated and equally thrilled.
Lu An remained calm. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to He Liang's relative.
The other party understood his intention. He then picked up the mineral water with his left hand, and his right Bionic Prosthetic Limbs slowly lifted.
Under everyone's witness, he slowly unscrewed the bottle cap with the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm, which immediately drew cheers from the employees present, and everyone couldn't help but applaud.
One employee recorded this scene with a video device.
He Liang's relative was extremely excited. Lu An then said, "Try holding it with the prosthetic and taking a sip."
He nodded, suppressing his excitement, and transferred the bottle of mineral water from his left hand to the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs on his right hand. The mechanical arm gripped the mineral water and steadily brought it to his mouth.
Under everyone's witness, he successfully drank a sip of water with the mechanical arm.
"Awesome, awesome! This movement is very smooth. It definitely beats all prosthetic products on the market," He Liang said excitedly on the spot, and his relative was also extremely excited.
Next, Lu An guided the other party to try further.
He saw him try to pick up a wrench with the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs arm and then accurately place it in the toolbox.
One employee found two thin iron rods of equal length to act as chopsticks for him to try. He Liang's relative successfully picked up an object with the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs.
"Incredible, truly incredible! It completely surpasses those prosthetics on the market that cost hundreds of thousands," He Liang's relative observed the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs. The prosthetic also rotated, lifted, extended, and retracted according to his thoughts. He then continued, "I want to buy one of these prosthetics. How much is it? Is it expensive? It must be very expensive, right?"
His words were full of urgency and undisguised desire to buy one immediately, yet he worried the price might be too high.
Lu An smiled and said, "No rush, it still needs some debugging, and it's not expensive. The general public can afford it. We'll reserve one for you when the product is finally finalized, and then He Liang will deliver it to you."
Hearing this, He Liang's relative couldn't help but nod.
But he was still incredibly excited. For him personally, this Bionic Prosthetic Limbs was no less than a new lease on life.
The appearance of this Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm was not as refined as products from large enterprises, because it was not yet a finished product.
But the technological content within it absolutely surpassed all its peers. The core technology was the intelligent control algorithm developed by Lu An, which could quickly and accurately perceive and interpret the user's muscle signals and convert them into corresponding actions.
Normally, each amputee needs a custom-fitted prosthetic, because everyone's nerve signals and muscle signal feedback are different, so custom products are often required. This is also one of the reasons why similar products on the market are very expensive.
The truly black-tech aspect of this product lies in its universality in this regard, eliminating the need for specialized customization.
The flexibility of the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs's joints is extremely high; this alone surpasses its competitors.
It includes a total of 11 degrees of freedom for the shoulder joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, metacarpophalangeal joints, and interphalangeal joints, as well as 20 degrees of freedom for the 5 fingers of the palm, totaling 31 degrees of freedom.
It is precisely because of this that it can even use chopsticks and perform various complex movements.
Moreover, the power is strong; the mechanical arm can lift a weight of 115 jin, fully meeting the daily needs of the user.
…
A few hours later, everyone left the factory and arrived at the company's office.
In the office area, the Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm was placed on a table, and all employees were present.
"For this Bionic Prosthetic Limbs mechanical arm, what do you all think of its market competitiveness?" Lu An said with a smile, looking at the prosthetic.
He Liang immediately answered, "It's 100% superior to all similar competing products. My relative was so excited he wanted to take this mechanical arm home on the spot."
Lu An looked around at everyone and smiled, "Do you still regret following me now? Who can come up with something so advanced in just a few months?"
Zhang Wenjie chuckled, "Guo Wei will definitely cry himself unconscious in the restroom, haha!"
Everyone laughed heartily at this, realizing the immense potential of this product.
Putting everything else aside, just from He Liang's relative's reaction in the factory a few hours ago, they knew this Bionic Prosthetic Limbs was definitely going to be a big seller.
At this moment, the employees present were all glad they hadn't resigned.
Although they had worked like dogs for the past few months, they now had more and more hope.
Especially since their boss had promised earlier that as the initial team, they would have stock option qualifications, which they were now eagerly anticipating.
