Chapter 116: Thoughts on Non-destructive Myopia Correction Technology

Su Xin nodded thoughtfully, echoing Liu Guosong's words.

This technology is relatively simple in the field of biomedicine, easy to verify, convenient to promote, has an immense market prospect, and can bring great positive value to society as a whole.

As a stepping stone into the biomedical field, it is indeed the most suitable choice.

What moved him most was that while developing the Non-destructive Myopia Correction Technology, he might be able to incidentally develop technology to enhance vision.

After all, technology that corrects nearsightedness can, to some extent, be considered as increasing visual range; so, since it can be increased from a nearsighted state to a normal state, could it be further enhanced on the basis of restoring normalcy?

For example, reaching a visual range comparable to an eagle?

Or even further improving visual precision, so that one can not only see far but also clearly enough to spot an ant a hundred meters away at a glance?

Of course, an overly precise visual system would place a heavy burden on the brain, much like an old computer playing 4K high-definition video—stuttering, overheating, or even crashing from time to time.

Su Xin felt that he could at least strengthen vision significantly within the limits of what the human body can bear, opening the first chapter of human enhancement.

No, this level of enhancement should only count as the title page.

Human enhancement is a very vast and complex systems engineering project; the enhancement of a mere pair of eyes, and only in terms of visual range and precision, can only be considered an extremely tiny screw in the entire human enhancement project.

But at least, this can be considered the opening of the chapter on human evolution.

Su Xin's eyes flickered.

All sorts of inspiration burst forth wildly.

Based on the principles of retinal imaging and the causes of myopia, he began to think about various correction routes and specific implementation plans.

The reason humans can see things clearly is that external light enters the eyes, is refracted by the eye's refractive system, and then forms an image on the retina.

The eye's refractive system includes the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous body.

One can simply compare the refractive system to a convex lens or a common magnifying glass.

The reason people become nearsighted is that the axial length of the eye is too long, which is equivalent to a normal magnifying glass being flattened, weakening its ability to refract light; therefore, light from afar cannot properly form a focal point on the retina, which is why things look blurry.

Traditional laser correction surgery uses lasers to polish the magnifying glass back to its original normal curvature.

But this polishing is irreversible, which is why it is said that this type of myopia correction technology has sequelae.

Whereas through biotechnology.

It is equivalent to letting the magnifying glass grow back to a full state from its flattened state; this way, there are not only no sequelae but also no risks whatsoever.

This correction principle is actually very simple; anyone with a little understanding could think of it.

But how to achieve it is the biggest problem.

After pondering for a while, Su Xin suddenly realized that he was still in Liu Guosong's study.

He hurriedly smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Uncle, I was just thinking about a problem and got distracted for a moment. Excuse me!"

"It's alright."

Liu Guosong smiled.

After staying at the Liu family for three days.

Su Xin bid farewell to the warm-hearted members of the Liu family and returned to his hometown, Baohe City.

During this New Year's Spring Festival of 2024, Su Xin's entire family spent it incredibly happily.

Su Xin, who had created a brilliant career last year, became the focus of everyone's attention, and he also generously gave several bulging red envelopes to each of his relatives' homes through his parents.

When one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Although Su Xin could not take people to heaven, improving everyone's lives was easy.

The third day of the New Year.

Su Xin received a video call from Liu Xuewei; her uncle Yu Dongdong, upon learning that Su Xin wanted to exchange experiences on starting a shopping mall business, readily agreed and set a date for a meeting.

Happy days are always very short.

Soon, the time came to the ninth day of the New Year.

Su Xin's family of three, along with the newly hired shopping mall executive Fei Jiajie, arrived in Nanjiang Province together and brought some high-end gifts to Yu Dongdong's home located in a quiet residential complex.

Yu Dongdong enthusiastically invited the four to sit down in the house, and after some small talk, he went straight to the point; after all, the two sides were not familiar with each other, and there wasn't much to chat about anyway.

Both sides exchanged experiences and insights on the operation of shopping malls; it was mainly Yu Dongdong and Fei Jiajie doing the talking, while Su Zhengming and Zhang Chunhua listened carefully and occasionally raised questions.

The next day.

Su Zhengming and the other two returned to Baohe City, eager to prepare for the construction of the shopping mall.

Su Xin went to Tianjing to prepare for work.

During the half-month of the New Year, apart from occasionally gathering with relatives and friends, he spent most of his free time writing the other three language versions of Tiantian Assistant.

Now, these three language versions have all been developed and are just waiting for the company to start work to be officially released.

February 20th.

On the 26th floor of the Yonghui Building, inside a conference room of Tianqi Holding Company.

Su Xin and several executives gathered together.

Several people reported on the operating data of each company during the New Year.

"The sites for the second phase of the expansion plan for Tianqi Energy have already been selected; some are in the acquisition process, and others are under intense construction."

"In terms of operations, the 25 battery factories from the first phase also maintained full-load production during the New Year, with a monthly output of 60GWh, keeping the company's revenue steadily rising. Added to the advance payments for subsequent orders, as of yesterday, the company has accumulated a total revenue of 98.3 billion."

"Of this, 47.3 billion was used to pay supplier invoices, employee wages, factory utilities, and other expenses, and another 2 billion was used to repay the first phase of bank loans."

"The payment for the first phase of expansion acquisitions is not yet due, so it has not been paid for the time being."

"Finally, 30 billion was left in the company account for the initial costs of the second phase expansion plan and company operating maintenance costs, and the remaining 19 billion was recorded as pure profit in the head office account."

The newly soaring Tianqi Energy has already contributed 19 billion in pure profit to him; this amount has already exceeded the total profit of Tianqi Software Company over these past few months.

Moreover, its momentum shows no signs of waning; it is even continuously rising, demonstrating increasingly stronger staying power.

This is the benefit of a monopoly!

After the automotive industry fully entered the post-new energy era, it is now equivalent to just getting started; once the entire industry stabilizes slightly, it will be able to earn even more exaggerated profits for Su Xin.

Su Xin nodded slightly, then instructed:

"Remember to thoroughly check the five-fold overtime pay and New Year gifts I ordered previously to see if every factory has implemented them properly."

"Also, randomly spot-check some employees working overtime to see if they are doing so voluntarily and if factory management has engaged in any coercive behavior."

"Our business is large and established now, and we are being watched by countless eyes at all times; we absolutely cannot allow any trouble to arise in matters like this, do you understand?"

"I understand."

Ding Kuiyong nodded: "I emphasized this when I held meetings with the management of each branch factory before the holiday, and I also arranged for company personnel to supervise."

"That is good."
