Chapter 1637 - 841: I Have a Plan! (Part 4)

"But, it might not be a good thing."

He paused for a moment, and his originally serious expression suddenly became cheerful: "That guy Long Ge has been showing off in the church for a long time now, making many people want to break his two new legs again.

Indeed, the original crippled look seemed more pleasing to the eye."

"Okay."

Ji Jue nodded resolutely and solemnly promised: "I will instruct someone to do it, and say it's Elder Deng's directive."

Instantly, both of them burst into laughter.

"Is there any further development?" Elder Deng asked, "According to your style, there will definitely be new arrangements in the future, right?"

"Well, to speak of it, indeed."

Ji Jue nodded in response: "The first phase is limited to hands and limbs, during the second phase, we will consider adding artificial eyes, though the initial effect might not be good.

In the technology accumulation phase, there are temporarily no good solutions."

"No need to worry." Elder Deng waved his hand, "If it's a patent issue, the church has considerable influence with the hospital. I'll go back and write an application, and there should be a response by this week."

"Then I'm grateful."

Ji Jue accepted this goodwill without hesitation, then added: "Using the implant devices is not troublesome, if the church is interested, we can offer..."

"No need!"

Elder Deng interrupted him and decisively said: "Please never mention this again, such things handed over to the church to do might not be a good thing."

Even though the church has held similar charity events countless times, this time it can't, this time is different.

Those cheap prosthetics can be gifted, no matter the quantity, the church can pay for it without hesitation. But those are cheap items, cheap to the point of being almost shabby.

Precisely because of this, they won't be taken away or coveted, removing them won't yield any money, therefore, not causing harm to those who have nothing.

But now it can't be done.

Even if Ji Jue's outcome is a bit awkward, a bit troublesome, or even... worse, he might hesitate, but precisely because of this success, he resolutely refuses.

Not only for users' safety, but also internally within the church, it can't provide more than hope to those suffering in distress.

Too many people are in need, but the church can arrange very little, how could it favor some over others? Is anyone else's suffering any less than one's own?

When the right to distribute this is handed over to the church, it's unknown how many waves it will cause. When hope can't reach everyone, how can it withstand the uncontrollable resentment?

"This matter, the church cannot be involved."

Elder Deng sighed with emotion, "You did very well, Mr. Ji, you can do many things we cannot."

Hence, please keep doing it."

He said, "Just continue, that's enough."

"I will."

Ji Jue nodded, resolutely assured.

They stopped speaking, gazing out the window at the smiles and tears, cheers coming from afar.

Even as the sky gradually dimmed.

Everyone seems no longer afraid of the twilight.

With the church's endorsement, Hai Province's officials naturally supported it, and the Coast's first phase charity event was in full swing, exhausting all available slots within a few days.

Meanwhile, from all over Hai Province, applications hoping to participate in the second phase flew in like snowflakes, continually soaring in number, leaving Ji Jue dreaming - if Old Lou had five, six, seven, or eight more partners like this, the accumulation of external modules could be completed in two or three months, updated in a year or two, and in another eight or nine decades, perhaps even lunar exploration could be accomplished.

Unfortunately, Lou Feng threatened with his life, the number was ultimately limited to under two thousand each phase.

Ji Jue repeatedly advised, after all, you are a craftsman, no need to personally attend to everything, you can start hiring apprentices and recruiting cattle now, but ended up being blocked by Lou Feng.

At the same time, the security team at the Coast also gradually became busy, patrolling everywhere daily, tidying up loose ends... there's no choice, this is the Wilderness, and it's a bit too wild!

Even though contracts were signed before installation, repeatedly emphasizing the prohibition of any illegal modifications to the prosthetics, still can't stop everyone's eager and fearless mind.

Some are skilled masters wanting to show their skills!

A couple of days ago, there was an Old Deng who had a broken hand for half his life and directly welded a machine gun to his hand, taking the lead in a settlement conflict, wielding the machine gun, taking on seven attacks, really frightening.

Made the opposing side call the Coast's complaint hotline overnight, someone here doesn't talk about martial ethics!

Just this is manageable, but some like to invent small gadgets.

Hiding a gun nozzle in the palm, stuffing a grenade in the leg, liberating the strength restrictions of the prosthetic limbs, converting electricity to oil, jumping five, six, seven, eight meters high, providing Ji Jue with a wealth of new data and ways to die...

Considering it's better to manage than block, rather than strictly controlling, better to incorporate regulation.

Ji Jue slapped his forehead.

Pointed his hand to the sky.

"Hey, I have an idea!"

He suddenly looked up and said to the already quite dispirited Yu Shu: "Why not we take the lead and organize a sports event!"

[?]

Yu Shu looked around numbly, vision turning dark again.

—Boss, are you okay?
