Chapter 1021 Competition Process

The extremely weight-reducing prosthesis is actually an important... probably very important project proposed by Xiangshan.

The simplification of the internal structure comes from an experiment.

Once again, when Lu Xuanyu submitted the experimental report, he mentioned the touch of the foot prosthesis. And this report certainly attracted great attention. Chen Feng, Tao Enhai and other relevant field leaders met to study this issue.

Because the foot prosthesis actually has no "touch".

The subsequent inspection found that it was not the intern who made the mistake. The monitoring showed that when Lu Xuanyu felt the touch, he was indeed replaced with the experimental prosthesis without a varistor.

In order to alleviate the problem of "phantom limb pain", the early prosthesis control system of Superman Enterprise had the function of "sending false feelings to the brain". This feeling is not a specific touch, but a vague mental signal, similar to a "no abnormality" report.

Sometimes, when a limb loses feeling, what a person feels is not really "no feeling", but "numbness", "woodenness" and "pain". After losing the "regular report", the brain alarms in this way.

Superman Enterprise will falsify this report.

Many people feel that even a non-tactile prosthesis will give them the illusion of "a limb wearing thick clothes", which is because of this.

However, that day, Lu Xuanyu clearly stated in the report that he had a sense of touch and a good sense of touch.

He felt the touch very accurately on a prosthesis without a piezoresistor, and even felt a touch similar to "muscle".

With a series of subsequent studies, the researchers of Superman Enterprise finally understood. Most people use imagination to improve the "details" of touch, and the analog signal used for "disguising regular reports", combined with visual information and Lu Xuanyu's own experience, created such a strange result.

Most people easily feel as if a bug is crawling because of "inexplicable itch on the body". In primitive times, this "imagination supplement" was a very important survival strategy. This supplement actually exists in all aspects of human senses.

The mission of the senses is not to "truly reflect the environment", but to "keep people alive", and "magnifying potential threats" is a survival strategy that is not costly.

In Lu Xuanyu's case, this "imagination complement" has strengthened his adaptability to the prosthesis.

People do not actually control their muscles directly with consciousness.

In the natural state, the conscious use of muscles by humans is very inefficient. Just like a centipede does not know which foot it should take first, everything is written in instinct. Then, some people among humans began to explore "how to use consciousness to call this power."

So "martial arts" and "sports" were born.

At this step, humans usually practice a lot. Every action has a standard. Educators will tell them tirelessly which muscle they should focus their consciousness on, which muscle to use to exert force, and how to exert force - whether it is general sports, unarmed combat, or armed or even shooting, there is such a process.

But after this stage, the function of "exerting force" will be separated from consciousness. Consciousness only needs to imagine "how to move", and then this instruction will be input into the movement-related neural network, decomposed into many instructions, and act on specific muscles separately.

The previous "standard movements" were just to make the practitioners realize that "you can use strength here".

The force on the human body is not the same as the metaphysical "strength" that people intuitively abstract.

With this result, Xiangshan naturally thought of a new idea. By reconstructing the mapping between "neural signals" and "electronic signals", Lu Xuanyu can use his martial arts experience to control the prosthetic limbs whose internal structure is actually very different from human limbs. Even most of the techniques of exerting strength can be retained.

The only limitation is Lu Xuanyu himself.

If he saw the prosthetic limb installed on his body, which was too different from the flesh in structure, Lu Xuanyu's "imagination" would not be able to fill in the details. He would also be at a loss.

The solution is also very simple, that is, first give him a pair of prosthetic legs with a very different internal structure from the human body, and then let him move. After he is completely accustomed to the movement of this leg, remove the shell.

In this way, Lu Xuanyu also took a long time to barely get used to it.

And on this basis, the design of the prosthesis can be unrestrained.

For example, the body is specialized for the rules.

Every fighting rule has a "no-hitting" area. For example, kicking is prohibited in boxing matches. In cross-boxing exhibition matches, many boxers are defeated because they are kicked in the lower body.

Of course, this does not mean that "kicking his legs" is the only way for ordinary people to defeat professional boxers. This so-called "flaw" can only be captured by martial artists of the same level with similar physical conditions. When professionals fight amateurs, it is first the crushing of training volume and physical fitness, and then the pros and cons of technology.

In the match with boxers, there is naturally no need to worry about your lower body being attacked.

Then, the lower body part naturally does not need a shell.

In Lu Xuanyu's imagination, these simple spring sheets are like tendons and muscles... Although these spring sheets can't actually give him feedback, the motors at both ends of the spring sheets can make fine adjustments.

Even in non-powered prostheses, there are excellent designs such as J-shaped blade prostheses that have slightly better athletic ability than innate limbs. The complexity and technological content of the calf used by Lu Xuanyu in the boxing match are several times higher.

And its weight is very light.

Superman Enterprise even has the time to add counterweights to keep Lu Xuanyu's weight close to that of his opponent.

In fact, Lu Xuanyu has several sets of such "prostheses for specific rules".

In the parts protected by the rules, the prosthesis can directly remove the outer armor and completely expose the inside.

This is very visually impactful.

Facing Xiangshan's inquiry, Lu Xuanyu nodded and said, "Very good. You have almost beaten all the boxing champions in the past few days, right? I always feel like you have beaten several..."

"There are so many organizations that are qualified to award the title of boxing champion. And each weight class has its own boxing champion." Xiangshan shrugged, "It's still early. In the schedule, there will be a "Boxing Day" in a few days, which is a continuous high-intensity battle of standardized prostheses. The most popular boxers are scheduled on that day. Tsk... I hope they won't be scared these days and don't need to submit an application to modify the rules."

On the first day of the competition, after the famous jiu-jitsu master was unreasonably ravaged by Lu Xuanyu, many fighters ran to the organizers of the conference and applied to change the rules they proposed.

Since it is a cross-boxing and cross-rule competition, the world's first martial arts conference allows players to specify rules-this not only includes "specifying existing rules", but also can be based on a set of mature rules. Delete, use the rules to magnify the advantages of your own skills.

The young man from the Gracie family actually added several rules that are beneficial to jiu-jitsu under the regular rules of MMA.

Fortunately, Xiangshan had anticipated this. Those guys who didn't know their own abilities and didn't understand the history of technological development were basically arranged in the back, and it was still in time to adjust the arrangement.

Lu Xuanyu was a little impatient: "When is the next match scheduled?"

Xiangshan pointed at the AR glasses on his nose: "I think you should make good use of this smart device, Lao Lu. Yours is exactly the same as mine, and it still has the basic note-taking function, and the schedule is fully public, so you can check it out with just a word - the next one is a Japanese judo genius who will compete in wrestling. I have to say he is quite courageous, and he dares to compete after seeing what happened to Gracie."

Kawen...
