"3D measurement mechanism for both eyes?" Guo Tailai was confused. What was this? But it was obvious that there was no explanation.

Thinking about the benefits he had received before, Guo Tailai hesitated for just a second before immediately agreeing.

"..." Nothing happened, and Guo Tailai was once again puzzled. What exactly was this 3D measurement mechanism for both eyes?

However, Guo Tailai didn't forget to check what the nanobots were doing. As soon as he checked, he immediately understood why there was no reaction.

A thousand nanobots were moving along the blood vessels toward the eyes. It would take at least several dozen seconds to arrive, no wonder there was no reaction.

This also made Guo Tailai feel an even greater urgency for titanium powder. He needed to get the titanium powder as soon as possible to increase the number of nanobots; otherwise, everything would be very inefficient!

"Activate the 3D measurement mechanism for both eyes." A prompt appeared, and Guo Tailai immediately felt some changes in his eyes.

It was very itchy. Closing his eyes, Guo Tailai rubbed them hard. When he opened them again, he found his vision was a bit blurry, and there was a constant distortion, which was very uncomfortable.

"Lens focal length misalignment, do you want to repair it?" A question immediately appeared in his mind.

Lens focal length misalignment? Isn't that just nearsightedness? Stated so elegantly. Would Guo Tailai refuse? Who would be willing to constantly adjust thick glasses when sweating?

"Take full control of the left eye's ciliary muscle 1%, 2%..."

...

"Take full control of the left eye's ciliary muscle completed."

What is the root cause of nearsightedness? Isn't it because the ciliary muscle cannot properly adjust the lens, making it thicker, so that external objects cannot form an image on the retina? Therefore, the root of everything is the ciliary muscle.

The nanobots immediately began adjusting the ciliary muscle, making Guo Tailai both surprised and delighted. If he could take off the glasses he had worn for over a decade, that would be a great thing.

"Ciliary muscle control simulation adjustment 1%..."

Guo Tailai's vision began to change constantly, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. In this state, Guo Tailai couldn't work and could only sit and rest.

Fortunately, it was almost time to finish work. Soon, Guo Jianjun finished work and took Guo Tailai home. For Guo Jianjun, he was very satisfied that Guo Tailai had persisted through the day, sweating profusely. He didn't expect Guo Tailai to lose weight immediately, but at least he had the idea and the action.

On the way, Guo Tailai casually brought up the topic of titanium alloy from processing materials like stainless steel and cast iron, saying he was very curious and asking if he could get a piece of titanium alloy to play with.

"Titanium alloy? There's none of that in the factory." Guo Jianjun, who was very interested in processing materials, immediately blocked off any hope Guo Tailai had of getting it from the factory: "It's said that the country only produces one or two thousand tons a year, and various research institutes and special material factories can't get enough. How could our small factory have it?"

Guo Tailai gave up. He would have to wait until September when school started to see if the key national laboratory in his department had any! For the holiday, he could only spend it "losing weight."

Today was too tiring, mainly because his eyes were uncomfortable. After eating, Guo Tailai washed up early and lay down.

...

"Ciliary muscle control simulation adjustment 100%, ciliary muscle control simulation adjustment completed." A sudden message made Guo Tailai's mood quickly improve. The simulation was complete, so would the next step be the actual adjustment?

"Stop controlling the ciliary muscle."

"Re-establish biological reflex 1%..."

...

While re-establishing the biological reflex, Guo Tailai fell asleep, snoring loudly.

"Re-establish biological reflex 100%, left eye ciliary muscle adjustment completed."

"Take full control of the right eye's ciliary muscle 100%, take full control of the right eye's ciliary muscle completed."

"Ciliary muscle control simulation adjustment 100%, ciliary muscle control simulation adjustment completed."

"Stop controlling the ciliary muscle."

"Re-establish biological reflex 100%, left eye ciliary muscle adjustment completed."

"Activate 3D measurement mechanism for both eyes successfully."

When Guo Tailai woke up, before he even opened his eyes, he saw a series of prompts in his mind.

Nanobots were truly great and diligent. Even while Guo Tailai was sleeping, they were still working diligently.

His vision in both eyes had been adjusted, and the 3D measurement mechanism for both eyes had been activated. Guo Tailai opened his eyes with a bit of surprise.

Swish, an incredibly clear field of vision appeared before Guo Tailai. He could swear that this was the clearest world he had ever seen in his life.

In the past, Guo Tailai didn't understand what "every detail is visible" meant. Now, he understood. It meant that he could see the cotton fibers on the cotton T-shirt his mother had placed by his bed clearly.

About a dozen of the finest fibers were twisted into a thicker fiber, which was then woven into the fabric of the T-shirt. Each of the finest cotton fibers had an average diameter of 30 micrometers.

"Hmm, this one has a diameter of 30.2 micrometers." When Guo Tailai muttered this to himself, he suddenly froze. When did his eyes become capable of seeing fibers at the micrometer level, and even measuring their diameter accurately?

Looking up, he looked around the room.

"Door frame height, millimeters."

"Door frame width, millimeters."

"Table height, millimeters."

"Table width, millimeters."

"Table width, millimeters."

As his gaze swept over the other things in the room, the dimensions of each item naturally appeared in his mind, making Guo Tailai pause. He immediately understood that this must be the 3D measurement mechanism for both eyes.

It turned out to be such a wonderful gadget. He could get precise measurements just by estimating, without using any measuring tools, and could measure to the micrometer level, even estimating to 0.1 micrometers. It was simply amazing!

In just a few moments, Guo Tailai figured out its use. As long as he wanted to know the dimensions, he could see them. If he didn't want to know, he could completely block them out. This measurement mechanism was under his active control.

Such a magical function, when used in manufacturing, was simply a divine tool! He wondered if it could be even more precise.

"To improve measurement accuracy, please use more precise measuring tools for calibration." As soon as this thought crossed Guo Tailai's mind, he immediately received a response.

It turned out it was due to the measuring tools. In the factory, Guo Tailai only used a micrometer, which was accurate to the micrometer level, so he could only measure to that precision. Once he returned to school and used the precise measuring tools in the laboratory for calibration, he could achieve even higher precision.

Even at the micrometer level, Guo Tailai realized that he had seemingly become a high-precision human measuring tool. With just a glance, he could accurately measure the distance between any two points he wanted to know, which was simply amazing.

With every detail visible, Guo Tailai's life seemed to be becoming increasingly interesting.
