Chapter 1153: 1152 Find Someone to Try
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’s not entirely because of him, but it’s because of his death that I decided to speed up the creation of the nursing robot. He was very lonely when he was alive, and he was even more lonely when he died. This is really too tragic for a person.”
Tan Rou had a serious look on her face as she spoke.
Zhuang Liu nodded slightly. “Because Zhang Feng gave us those herbs, we were able to successfully make the medicine to extend grandfather’s life. Therefore, he is our benefactor. His death is a pity to us.”
“There are many old people like Zhang Feng in this world. Some of them don’t have children by their side, while others don’t have children at all. I didn’t make this robot for money. I just want to use my own abilities to contribute to the world.”
Zhuang Liu liked Tan Rou’s intelligence and also her kindness. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“This is a new attempt, and the target of service is also the elderly, so I think it’s better to be careful. The first batch of ten robots have been produced. I plan to distribute these robots to the elderly for free to recruit volunteers. Then, based on the effect of their use, they will improve the robot and finally decide whether to produce this type of robot.”
“Have you found all the volunteers?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou only found two volunteers. “My grandmother and Lu Qing’s grandfather are both willing to be volunteers. My grandfather’s health isn’t very good, and the performance of the robot isn’t stable enough. I don’t dare to let him accept the experiment. When the robot is improved in the future, we’ll arrange another one for him.”
Zhuang Liu also felt that this was more appropriate. “Let me help you find the rest of the test subjects. My network is wider than yours, so it’s easier to find volunteers.”
“I wanted to ask my old friends for help, but they’re too busy. Besides, they have people to take care of them. They don’t need my robot at all. My clients should be the elderly who have no children or partners to accompany them.”
“The two experimental subjects you found didn’t meet the requirements either?” Zhuang Liu thought for a moment.
“With Grandma and Old Master Lu’s status, it’s impossible for them to lack someone to take care of them, right?”
Tan Rou smiled. “Of course, we can’t just find the same person for the experiment. I’m looking for Grandma and Grandpa Lu to collect experimental data. Their suggestions are also very important. After all, the people who take care of them can’t stay by their side all the time. What will they do if someone leaves one day?”
Everyone had special circ.u.mstances, such as going to the toilet or eating. At this time, it was definitely impossible for the servant to stay by the employer’s side. However, robots were different. They did not need to eat or go to the toilet. They only needed to be fully charged.
Moreover, the robots designed by Tan Rou were more advanced. They did not need others to charge them. When they ran out of battery, they would naturally return to the charging station to charge. After the battery was charged, they would consciously return to their owners.
“Okay, I’ll find you a volunteer as soon as possible. I hope your experiment will be successful,” Zhuang Liu agreed. “I hope this nursing robot can be put on the market as soon as possible.”
Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about her plan again. “I plan to start launching robots in the city after the experiment is successful. I’ll mainly launch them in nursing homes first. There are more lonely elderly people there. If robots can replace humans to take care of the elderly, there should be very few cases of elder abuse in the future.”
Some people were more vicious. They bullied the elderly who could not take care of themselves. The elderly did not dare to refute them. Once they refuted them, the elderly would suffer even more torture.
Robots would not have evil thoughts. They would only follow the procedures designed by humans, so there would naturally be no incidents of abuse of the elderly.
Zhuang Liu found all the volunteers within a day. Those volunteers came from all walks of life and were all lonely old people. They were all older and had a very difficult life. They were the ones who needed help.
Tan Rou set off with her robot. She had to go to those people’s houses to install the robot. There was still a lot of work to do, and she would only get busier.
