434 Eternal Life I

Sending Feng Shuai home, when he got out of the car, Wu Mian instructed, "Go back and talk to your daughter-in-law, don't worry about the child, you just need to send it over." ”

Feng Shuai was relieved, nodded, and waved his hand to see Wu Mian drive away.

"Brother, the probability is too low. Chu Zhixi said.

"Well, congenital heart disease is rarely inherited, and the probability of both mother and daughter having it is indeed very low. Wu Mian knew what Chu Zhixi meant, and then said.

"Being able to live to the age of 8 should not be a rare congenital heart disease. Chu Zhixi said.

"Well, normal treatment is fine, nothing too special. When the child comes, do an echocardiology and take a look. Wu Mian said, "Go home." ”

"My mom misses me. Chu Zhixi said with a smile, "I've been busy lately, I haven't been home for a few days, and my mother calls me every day." ”

"I'm going to go back and see it in the next few days. Wu Mian said, "Compared with CT and MRI just now, I think the surgery is very difficult. ”

When Wu Mian came back, he was going to go to the hospital to pick up Chu Zhixi and go home, but when he saw the CT and MRI images of the head of the vegetative child picked up by Lao Yushan, he felt that there was something wrong and thought about it for a long time.

Brain pacemaker treatment for Parkinson's is not new, and it may not be popular, but it is not too difficult in the eyes of experts of Wu Mian's level. Although it is more difficult to treat children with congenital heart disease, it is the same thing.

But Parkinson's is Parkinson's and a vegetative person is a vegetative person, these are two completely different concepts.

The child who was brought back from Lao Yu Mountain did CT and MRI, and the changes in the cranial nerve bundle were very serious, and Chu Zhixi encountered an extremely difficult challenge. Not only her, but Wu Mian felt quite tricky after seeing the video materials after coming back.

"Brother, why don't you give it a try first?" asked Chu Zhixi.

"Nope. Wu Mian shook his head, "I'm thinking about writing a piece of software first." ”

"Brother, what software?" asked Chu Zhixi.

GE Healthcare claims that the MRI is made of GE Healthcare's unique fiber guide ring structure, which makes the coil "as light as a blanket", which greatly improves the examination experience while achieving a higher image signal-to-noise ratio from the source. ”

"I know, the image is indeed clearer than the previous 3.0 MRI. Chu Zhixi said.

This high-end magnetic resonance also integrates intelligent perception technology, that is, Intelligence MR, based on big data analysis and deep learning algorithms, to realize intelligent control of RF excitation and magnetic field correction in magnetic resonance examination, and further improve image accuracy. Wu Mian's fingers tapped Chu Zhixi's legs, pondering what to do in his mind.

"A French radiologist used this MRI and his own software to create some of the most beautiful MRI images of the brain. ”

"I've seen it, the images are colorful, and they look really great. Chu Zhixi said.

Her specialty is neurosurgery, so she has a super high sensitivity to similar things. Especially in the past, when he was preparing to perform surgery on Wu Mian, he had a wide range of new technologies.

"I think I should be able to make my own software, specifically for the examination and treatment of vegetative patients. Wu Mian said.

"Is it feasible?" asked Chu Zhixi.

"Musk is already working on brain-computer interfaces, and it would be nice if they could work together. Unfortunately, I won't accept my offer to cooperate now. Wu Mian hesitated, he obviously thought more than he said.

Chu Zhixi, who knew him, looked at Wu Mian curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

"Brain-computer interfaces have been in research for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, it's all top-secret research that we don't have access to. Wu Mian sighed.

"How do you know?"

"Since the day the cloned sheep appeared, brain-computer interfaces, thinking, and memory dataization have been studied. Moreover, it is a research that does not cost much more money than the development of new drugs and consumables. ”

"Oh, I remember, you said it was for eternal life. Chu Zhixi's hand was placed on the back of Wu Mian's hand, and he smiled coquettishly, "Brother, itchy." ”

"Hmm. Cloning, as I understand cloning, doesn't really mean much. Wu Mian said, "In a sense, the machine that Owen gave us is actually a cloning device that removes brain activity. It's just that some castrations have been done, and a lot of functions have been removed, leaving only the function of surgical training. ”

"You've got a big brain. ”

"It's a fact, but I don't say it, and Owen doesn't say it, it's a tacit understanding. Everyone is embarrassed to say it, and my relationship with him is not to the point of talking about this kind of technology involving immortality. ”

Eternal life is always one of the pursuits of human beings, and it can even be said that there is no one, which is the eternal pursuit of human beings.

Understandings of eternal life also vary. Some people say that the body is just a stinky skin, and it needs to be freed from bondage in order to gain eternity.

But without a body, can you still be considered a human being?

This is a philosophical question.

On July 5, 1996, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, England, Dolly the cloned sheep researched and "manufactured" by Ian Wilmut and his team has appeared in the world's field of vision.

At that time, the appearance of cloned sheep caused an uproar.

Dolly made its public debut in 1997 and shook the whole world, and the American magazine "Science" rated Dolly's birth as the first of the world's top ten scientific and technological advances that year.

Although Dolly can only be regarded as twins born after 6 years apart, and it is not yet the level of a clone in a science fiction movie, with Dolly's existence, in fact, the biggest technical problem has been solved.

Human cloning is definitely not that kind of problem.

However, how to perfectly "inherit" the consciousness and memory of the ontological clone has become the next problem.

Because of ethical and legal reasons, cloning technology has been kept secret, but Wu Mian knows that research on the human brain has been going on in secret.

Even Wu Mian highly suspected that Owen Rothschild was like the heroine of "Resident Evil", who had cloned countless young and middle-aged selves, but they were all unconscious, and they all survived in organic solutions, waiting for one day to be awakened by injecting memories.

Taken together, the two technologies are equivalent to the day Irving Rothschild's body was rebooted to the day it was cloned, and there are memories of years, decades, and decades to come.

For Owen Rothschild, this is eternal life.

Of course, this kind of technology is secretive and belongs to pure black technology.

The level of scientific research in China is worse than that in foreign countries, and similar projects have not been involved for the time being. And because Wu Mian is a Chinese, he has been excluded by invisible forces early on, and everything can only be speculated by relying on clues.

When it comes to the awakening surgery of vegetative people, Wu Mian thought of the "immortality" technique, and he thought of it for a while.
