Chapter 335 Brave New World (Part 2)
"Training?"
Chen Yanxiu suddenly turned his head and took a closer look, and found a familiar figure: "Jingcai? Are you Jingcai? Long time no see!"
The man looked a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said excitedly: "We haven't seen each other for 4 years. I didn't expect to meet here. It's really fate!"
After the two sat down, Chen Yanxiu pointed at his wife and introduced her: "This is my wife Liu Meizhu. Meizhu, this is my college classmate Zhao Jingcai."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Liu Meizhu also smiled and nodded: "Hello."
Chen Yanxiu asked in surprise: "Jingcai, don't you work at General Electric? Why are you here?"
"Don't mention it. General Electric closed several factories in North America last year, and I was laid off at that time." Zhao Jingcai replied very sadly.
Chen Yanxiu was still puzzled by this, because Zhao Jingcai was engaged in the design of in-vehicle computers. Logically speaking, even if he was laid off by General Electric, he should not have left North America.
“What happened to you in North America?”
Zhao Jingcai sighed: "Eyes, after being laid off, I had a sudden car accident, and my cornea was damaged in the car accident. I spent all my savings in the hospital over the years, and I almost went bankrupt in the end."
"What about your eyes now?" Chen Yanxiu stared into his eyes.
Zhao Jingcai explained: "I just had surgery a few days ago and had an artificial cornea implanted. Now I work in the Kampung Car ."
"In terms of eye treatment, the company's technology is indeed the best in the world." Chen Yanxiu also sympathized with Zhao Jingcai very much. After all, in North America, it would be very difficult to find a job if there was a problem with the eyes.
Zhao Jingcai was also still in fear: "I had no choice but to give it a try. I bought plane tickets with my family and came directly to Sing Tao. If I continued to stay in North America, I might become a homeless person one day."
"Your choice is correct." Chen Yanxiu deeply agrees.
Although he has not settled in North America for a long time, his four years of studying abroad and two years of working at Texas Instruments have given him a deeper understanding of North America.
How should I put it? America's wage level is indeed very high and the price level is very low, which is an undeniable advantage.
But on the other hand, America is also a world of capital, where profit is paramount. Once you go bankrupt and lose your fixed residence, the consequence is that you will become a homeless person, and the kind of homeless person who will never be able to turn over a new leaf.
A more important and serious problem is that after losing the ability to work, it will be difficult to survive without purchasing commercial insurance or sufficient savings.
Obviously, Zhao Jingcai was in such a situation. The cost of his eye treatment was very high, and his vision could not be restored. There was no hospital run by Sapiens in North America. As a result, after more than a year of treatment, he had spent all the compensation paid by the insurance company and also exhausted his savings.
Fortunately, Zhao Jingcai was smart. After calculating his wife's salary, he found that it was too difficult to support himself, two elderly people and three children.
A while ago, after careful consideration, he and his family sold their house and car in North America and came directly to Sing Tao.
Zhao Jingcai and Chen Yanxiu talked about their experiences in the past few days.
"In terms of humanity, the company is definitely the best in the world." After surviving the disaster, Zhao Jingcai's sense of identification with the Zhiren Company has also increased to an extremely high level.
Liu Meizhu, who had been teasing her little daughter, suddenly said, "That's not necessarily true. It seems that the subways and airports here don't have barrier-free passages or blind paths."
Hearing this question, Zhao Jingcai smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that the company doesn't have barrier-free passages and blind paths because there is no need."
"Why is it not necessary?" Liu Meizhu was puzzled.
Chen Yanxiu had an idea: "Will the company provide treatment for all disabled people? Is there something wrong with this? Not all diseases can be treated, right?"
"This is the greatness of the company. The company advocates that everyone should live with dignity. Therefore, building special barrier-free passages and exclusive seats is not what the company wants, because it will create a phenomenon of being labeled."
Zhao Jingcai, who was transformed into a wise man, continued to explain eloquently:
"So the company is committed to enabling all disabled people to live a normal life, and obviously the company has done it."
"I don't have too many questions about eye treatment, but what about other diseases?" Chen Yanxiu still found it a little unbelievable.
"You haven't understood the company's true medical level. Qingye Medical has solved most diseases except brain diseases."
"Really? Has the company's medical level reached this level?"
Zhao Jingcai nodded: "Even for patients with Alzheimer's disease, the company now uses chip technology to ensure that they will not get lost and can move freely in the city."
Just as Zhao Jingcai said, Sapiens has indeed solved many diseases. Even if it cannot cure them, it can ensure that patients can live a long-term, pain-free life with dignity.
For example, mechanical prostheses made of various optoelectronic chips and precision components, exoskeletons to assist the elderly in life, and nanny-type intelligent multi-legged robots.
There are also various implantable artificial organs, including artificial corneas, artificial eyeballs, artificial cochleas, artificial teeth, and artificial speech aids.
As well as rapid hemostatic sprays, hemostatic patches, and undisclosed symbionts.
These products address issues of paralysis, movement disorders, limb loss, eyesight, deafness, Alzheimer's disease, hemophilia, and physical deterioration in the elderly.
In other words, except for a few brain diseases such as mental illness, Sapiens has conquered the vast majority of diseases.
Even for cancer, Sapiens can currently treat it through customized targeted drugs. This technology is actually the civilian version of the gene bomb technology invented by Li Qingye.
In this case, there is no need to build barrier-free facilities, blind paths, special seats, etc. within the Homo sapiens community, because the vast majority of disabled people can live a normal life.
A small number of patients with mental illness and intellectual disabilities also do not need to use barrier-free facilities because they live in special nursing homes and do not appear in normal society.
After listening to Zhao Jingcai's explanation, Chen Yanxiu and his wife finally understood why Zhiren Company did not need to build barrier-free facilities.
Liu Meizhu held her little daughter in her arms: "The company's benefits are so good, there should be many disabled people who want to join, right?"
Zhao Jingcai nodded: "Indeed, but most disabled patients are actually also a labor force. As long as they don't have a brain disease, they can work and live normally after treatment."
The Sapiens company did not turn away the disabled people who came to seek refuge, but was very welcoming.
After all, this special group is a typical marginalized group in society. There are about 350 million disabled people in the world, and most of them live at the bottom of society.
As long as they are redeemed by the Homo Sapiens Company, these people will have very high loyalty and can easily be transformed into new humans.
For example, Zhao Jingcai is now a somewhat fanatical supporter of Homo sapiens.
Only those who have experienced endless darkness will cherish the sun before their eyes.
