Minke's black technology

Chapter 245 Travel and Surgery

Mindy is 19 years old and she is an actress in California.

Unlike other actors, her right arm was amputated below the elbow, and she has been living with artificial prosthetics for a long time, but she has never minded to show her handicap to people. Works as a special effects actor, played a variety of casualties.

Minty firmly believes that showing one's "differentness" can be a positive motivator in other people's lives.

However, when she used the mechanical prosthesis launched by the Meow Star Group, she suddenly found that as a complete ordinary person, her daily life would become easier and freer.

Not long ago, Meow Star Group announced that the mechanical prosthetics have been updated. After using carbon nano-robot technology, the mechanical prosthetics not only look exactly the same as the real human body, but also perfectly realize the seamless integration of man and machine.

Knowing this situation, Minty immediately went to the hospital to replace with the latest mechanical prosthesis, but was told that her medical insurance could not provide help.

"This is how the same thing?"

Minty hurriedly called the insurance company to inquire, and wanted the other party to help correct this mistake. You must know that her insurance amount is quite high, and there is no possibility that there will be a problem of not being able to pay!
Counting from birth, Mindy's family has purchased expensive insurance funds for everyone, but now they are told that they cannot use the insurance money to pay for medical expenses. This is impossible.

"Exceeding the limit? And only the first payment?"

Soon the insurance company gave a clear answer. As early as half a year ago, Mindy had already used the insurance once to purchase the products and services of Meow Star Group, and the amount used had reached millions of dollars at that time.

Now the replacement of prosthetics is not covered by the insurance, and the total cost has exceeded the insurance limit, and the insurance company will not pay the second cost.

If it is not paid by insurance, Minty will have to spend at least a million dollars to buy the latest carbon nanomechanical prosthetics, but it is already beyond Minty's income, unless she uses her family fund, otherwise she can't afford that much money .

When Minty hesitated, her family extended a helping hand and quickly helped raise $120 million for surgery and travel expenses.

"Since you have to pay for the surgery yourself, why don't you just go to the Flower Planter!"

Mindy's father, a senior real estate businessman, said to his daughter: "Spend the same amount of money, and you can also take care of traveling abroad!"

In fact, the money used to buy prosthetics is not much different. Meow Star Group sells them at the same price around the world, but the hospital service fee on Bald Eagle's side is much higher, so it is still worth going to a flower planter to do it. Surgery is cheaper.

This is not because the Meow Star Group violated the original agreement, but because the medical systems of Western countries are too deceitful. If you can’t use medical insurance to pay, even a cold and fever can make people feel heartache.

It is said that a fierce general was shot more than ten times on the street, but because of money problems, he did not dare to call an ambulance.

You know, an ambulance dispatch costs thousands of dollars. If there is not enough medical insurance to cover the cost, calling an ambulance a few more times can bankrupt ordinary people.

When Minty had the money, she went to prepare a passport as soon as she had the money. When she went to the flower planter's embassy abroad to go through the visa procedures, she found a lot of people gathered outside. It looked like a demonstration, but it didn't feel like it.

Because these people were too quiet, as if they were waiting for someone to appear, and they didn't see any placards they were holding, and they didn't hear them shouting slogans. Everyone gathered together as if there was no organization among them.

At the same time, Minty found that these people were all Asians with black eyes and black hair, and there were no people of other races in them.

After completing the formalities, Minty asked the staff on the opposite side, "Who are these people? What are they doing?"

"These are immigrant rabbits, they are protesting a certain welfare policy of the flower growers!"

The staff's answer was very simple and did not explain further.

Such an answer makes Minty wonder why the immigrant rabbit is no longer a flower grower, so why should he oppose the welfare policy of other countries.

However, she didn't delve into the problems here. She got her visa and went home quickly to go abroad for surgery.

In addition to the necessary travel documents, Minty also put on the translation headset necessary for travel, and soon flew to Pengcheng in the economy class of the flight.

It is said that this is the city where the headquarters of the Meow Star Group is located. At the same time, there is also a surgery hospital with the most advanced carbon nanomechanical prosthetics, which can provide the best prosthetic surgery services and products for the disabled.

According to the information found on the Internet, Minty came to a large hospital, which was full of queues for seeing doctors. The prosthetic surgery was in another building. It seemed that there were quite a few people here, but the atmosphere seemed to be much better than in other buildings. up.

After her observation, she found that most of the people who walked in were disabled. Even with prosthetic limbs, they could be clearly distinguished, but those who came out were basically normal people with sound limbs. Out of shape.

Minty came to the information desk and asked the staff in English: "I want to have carbon nano-prosthetic surgery at my own expense, where do I need to go through the formalities?"

The staff member was also wearing a translation headset, and there was no problem with the communication between the two. They each spoke their own mother tongue, which was very convenient for communication.

After he asked about Minty's surgical needs and basic personal information, he explained: "Foreign guests need to use a specific channel to make an appointment for surgery. If the hospital can't arrange it, they may have to wait for a few days."

The reason why the arrangements cannot be made is that the hospital must first protect the rights and interests of its own people, and then it is the turn to perform operations on people from other countries. If it does not do this, it will violate the "rabbit first" principle of the Meow Star Group. Once it is reported It will disqualify the hospital from performing prosthetic surgery on people.

Under the guidance of the staff, Minty came to a window to line up. Here, she found that many Westerners, like herself, also performed operations by visiting flower growers.

After paying tens of thousands of dollars as a deposit to make an appointment, Minty downloaded an APP software according to the instructions, entered her personal information on it to log in, and obtained the qualification to register for a queue, then left the hospital and went outside to find a hotel Checking in, I plan to reverse the jet lag first and then go shopping to see the scenery.

As for the scheduled surgery notice, it is said that it will be reminded through the mobile APP, and you can also check your queue status on it.

"Currently, I'm just outside the top [-]. I don't know how long I'll have to wait!" Mindy thought to herself, she really didn't expect so many Westerners to fly over for surgery.

If she had known earlier, she would have asked her family to accompany her. Everyone had fun here for a few days, and then waited for the hospital's operation arrangements.

Now it seems that she is the only one traveling alone.

Early the next morning, she put on her prosthesis and carried her luggage on her back, and went to the hotel to go through the formalities.

Minty planned to look around for a new hotel while looking around, so that she would feel like traveling. She had visited a florist before, but that was a few years ago.

She came to the street and walked casually, and she found many new changes. She even saw many computer angels following their owners out shopping, but those were all old version 2.0 angels. There is a big difference.

The easiest thing to see the difference is the anime angels that otaku like. The difference from real people can be seen at a glance from the clothing, but even so, this style is still very popular.

This kind of computer angel with the image of anime characters has greatly impacted the coser industry!
After all, real people can’t compete with anime angels no matter how disguised they are, and everyone prefers to watch beautiful computer angels, so now there are fewer and fewer real-life cosplayers, almost disappearing on the Internet.

Nowadays, the application of carbon nano-bionic skin technology has made computer angels updated. The latest version 3.0 basically uses carbon nano-bionic skin. Judging from the skin alone, neither visual nor tactile can tell the true from the false, but This new version of the product is expensive, and it cannot be bought without a few million yuan.

It is said that version 3.0 of Computer Angel has released a star series. Many stars have made a lot of money by authorizing their own images. There are male stars and female stars. All of them are handsome men and beautiful women.

In order to distinguish between real people and computer angels, the manufacturer drew forehead lines on the real series of computer angels, a very obvious sign, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not the star himself.

But even so, there have been many troubles in this real series of computer angels. For example, a small video of a certain female star suddenly broke out on the Internet, so she quickly issued a statement that the person in the video was not herself. The city was full of ups and downs, and the topic of gossip continued.

In the end, everyone knew that the video was indeed a computer angel. It was covered by the owner's decorative logo on the forehead, and then pulled to shoot a video.

Even if the national legislation prohibits this, there are still many people who do it secretly at home, and no one else can control it.

After this kind of thing happened many times, everyone gradually developed immunity to similar news, which made many celebrities simply use this as an excuse to muddle through.

Unfortunately, those bad-looking stars don't have corresponding Angel series at all, and if a scandal breaks out, no one will believe them even if they want to use this excuse.

On the Bald Eagle side, there are also many celebrities who have authorized their images, most of them are outdated celebrities. After all, they have left the entertainment circle, and if they don't sell it, they will have no chance.

After the manufacturer obtains the authorization, the corresponding star series of computer angels will soon be sold on the market. Not only fans will buy them back for use, but even some companies will customize them for various purposes.

In Silicon Valley, there are technology companies that buy computer angels and put them at the front desk of the company to welcome guests. There are even IT companies that buy a batch and use them as programmer encouragers. The effect seems to be quite good, but the frequency of maintenance is relatively high. higher.

The biggest impact is still in entertainment. The film companies in the San Fernando Valley are so ingenious that they even used the new computer angel as the heroine for filming.
