Chapter 778 Liu Wei and Xiao Li Who Get in the Way Between Rong Leng and Rong Su
In fact, Liu Wei was engaged in prosthetic research in Qujiang Prefecture.
It was because a policeman in the government office encountered a very skilled thief while patrolling the streets at night. The policeman rushed forward regardless of his own safety, but unexpectedly the thief also had an accomplice. A group of people stabbed him twice and killed him. of a leg.
After this incident, Fu Zichen was furious and ordered all government officials to go all out to find the murderer.
Although in the end all the thieves were caught, some died and some were imprisoned, the legs that the policeman lost could never be replaced.
Being a detective is just a job. Losing your job is equivalent to losing your ability to work.
Even if Fu Zichen decides to give his family a lot of subsidies, it is not a long-term solution after all.
It was this incident that made Liu Wei start studying prosthetics.
Liu Wei majored in surgery and had a full understanding of human organs and limbs, but prosthetics required more than just these.
In the end, Liu Wei tried his best to give the catcher a leg, but there were many flaws.
Now that Liu Wei heard Xiao Li say that there was an old man who looked like a normal person even though he was wearing a prosthetic limb, it was impossible for Liu Wei not to be surprised.
But Liu Wei couldn't help but start thinking, is there really such advanced medical technology here?
Liu Wei was thinking.
And Rong Su, who hadn't understood a word since just now, said again: "Then the old man just gave you a white jade ring? What did he say?"
Rong Su asked Xiao Li.
Xiao Li thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't say anything else."
The hall was quiet for a moment.
Xiao Li saw that everyone was silent, so he walked up to his mother and asked quietly: "Dad, why does that old man's prosthetic leg look so real?"
Liu Wei touched his son's head and said absentmindedly: "Perhaps, although the spaces they are in are different, some history actually goes in the same direction?"
Xiao Li was stunned and did not understand her mother's strange words.
Liu Wei just shook his head and did not explain in detail.
As a medical student, Liu Wei naturally knows the most about medicine, and he is certainly no stranger to the history of medicine.
As early as the 11th century, humans invented prosthetics. What is the concept of the 11th century in the West? It was roughly the Northern Song Dynasty in China.
Since someone has brought up the concept of prosthetics a long time ago, it means that research on prosthetics has continued.
In Liu Wei's world, the development of prosthetics stagnated for a long time after the 11th century. That is, no one really studied it or delved into it. However, the real development of prosthetic limbs was due to war. , World War I, World War II, there were too many injured soldiers.
How to return a large number of war-wounded amputees to society has become a problem that European countries are eager to solve. Therefore, after that, the research and development of prosthetics has advanced by leaps and bounds. Later, it has been possible to easily return most people with a limb that at least seems to be intact. body.
According to Liu Wei's understanding, in today's Qingyun Dynasty, those who are so-called researching prosthetics still have their thoughts on wooden prostheses. A piece of wood can support a person, but its stiffness is almost 100%.
Liu Wei added the axis law to the prosthetic limb made by the policeman, which made it bendable and more flexible, but only a little.
Liu Wei once thought about continuing to conduct in-depth research, but due to limited materials, he was unable to achieve too obvious progress.
But now, after hearing what Xiao Li said, Liu Wei became curious. Is there such a lifelike prosthetic limb here?
"Dad?" Seeing that her mother didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Li called out again.
Liu Wei came back to his senses, looked at his son, and ordered: "Go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Xiao Li didn't know what her mother was going to do, but she still went to get it.
When he got it back, Liu Wei laid out the rice paper, wrote, and asked directly: "Appearance."
Xiao Li realized that her mother was asking her about the appearance of her grandfather, so she recalled: "Grey hair, silver beard on the face, regular facial features, by the way..." Xiao Li thought of something and reached out to gesture to the end of his left eyebrow. position, and said: "There is a break here on Grandpa's eyebrow, which seems to be caused by a scar, but it is not obvious."
Xiao Li knew that his mother wanted to draw a portrait, but it was still a bit reluctant for him to describe a person's facial features in words, so he could only capture the characteristics and mark them.
Liu Wei listened and did not rush to write. He drew a pair of eyes and a pair of eyebrows on another piece of rice paper and asked, "Is that so?"
Xiao Li turned his head to look at it and shook his head: "The upper eyelids need to be lower, but the eyes are energetic, and the eyebrows are not so high, they should be shorter."
Liu Wei followed his son's instructions and drew it again.
This time Xiao Li was a little satisfied, but still said: "The eye sockets are not so small, they need to be bigger, and the eyebrows are not completely black, half of them are already white.
Liu Wei was not impatient, changed a piece of paper and continued painting.
After adjusting, testing, and arranging it many times, it took half an hour. Finally, Liu Wei finally finished a painting that satisfied Xiao Li.
Looking at the gray-haired but kind-hearted elder on the rice paper, Liu Wei was sure that this was not Emperor Qian Ling, and at the same time, he was not anyone he recognized.
However, this person could easily take out tribute-level objects and give them to children. He was impartial and found Xiao Li directly. Liu Wei did not dare to take any chances, so the identity of this person must be found out.
Liu Wei picked up the rice paper and looked at it for a while, then turned the portrait over, handed it to Rong Su, and asked, "Do you recognize it?"
Rong Su took a look and narrowed his eyes.
Liu Wei asked: "Recognize it?"
Rong Su didn't speak, but his expression became much more serious.
Liu Wei was suspicious and handed the portrait to Rong Leng again. Liu Wei said nothing, but was observing Rong Leng's expression.
Rong Leng's expression was very calm. To be precise, he almost didn't move his eyelids.
But Liu Wei knew Rong Leng very well. The more calm he remained, the more Liu Wei knew that Rong Leng must recognize the old man in the painting.
Under normal circumstances, when a person sees an unfamiliar portrait, his first attitude should be curiosity. Even if he is not curious, he will always look at it a few more times.
Liu Wei was a little surprised by Rong Leng's behavior. At the same time, Liu Wei also became curious, who could this old man be?
The atmosphere in the hall dropped to its lowest point again.
Rong Leng and Rong Su both said nothing, but looked at each other from time to time, as if they had something to discuss, but there was someone else beside them.
Liu Wei's eyes swayed from side to side, looking at this, then that, and finally asked considerately: "But you want me to go out first?"
Both men were silent again.
But at this time, silence is equivalent to acquiescence.
