Chapter 216: Human Trials of Biological Cornea (Part 1)

Xinghai Technology is the second company in the world to actually build a data center on the seabed, so the domestic news media have reported on it.

The Anling Municipal Government also took this opportunity to show its face, and used it as a business card to attract investment.

In addition, there is a lot of discussion in the IDC circle.

According to the data released by Xinghai Technology, under the same conditions, the speed of Xinghai data storage is 2s~3s faster than that of the top data service providers in China.

This is already very powerful.

Technology has reached a point where even a second faster is a huge improvement.

The other is the price advantage.

Because of the saving of heat dissipation, the later maintenance cost is 30% lower than that of land construction, so the use price is much lower.

In addition, Xinghai Technology publicized that it is building a renewable energy power generation equipment group at the same time, and the cost will be reduced by 15%~20% on the original basis.

If all this is realized, the data center usage fee of Xinghai Technology will be the cheapest in the world in the future.

IDC companies that have a lot of ideas have begun to consider technical cooperation.

Minxi District Industrial Park, Xinghai Institute of Life Sciences.

After 20 days of non-stop experiments, at 7 a.m. on the 21st, the optimal bioink debugging ratio was finally found.

Subsequently, bioinks began to be produced in large quantities.

Alginate and collagen have been hoarded a lot when doing experiments, and the preparation industry and equipment are readily available.

It took two days to produce 500 grams of bioink.

This cost is very expensive, about 1,000 yuan per gram.

However, after making corneas, a pair is sold for at least 5,000 yuan, which is the domestic price. For foreign countries, it is calculated in US dollars or euros and pounds.

The cornea is very light and thin, lighter than contact lenses, and it is estimated that one gram of bioink can make ten pairs.

After the bioink was made, Chen Xu came over.

Under the command of Chen Xu, two young female researchers loaded the bioink into a 3D bioprinter, and then began to print the shape of the cornea according to the corneal samples entered in advance.

3D bioprinters work like stacks, pushing the print layer by layer.

Just five minutes later, the biological corneal embryo was printed, and another female experimenter loaded the embryo into a petri dish and began to culture.

Chen Xu waited with his hands folded beside him.

After 10 minutes, the cornea was successfully cultured.

At the request of Chen Xu, the experimenter used sterile forceps to forceps out the bionic biological cornea from the Petri dish.

Chen Xu took a closer look, it was about the size of a fingernail on his little thumb, and unlike the clear contact lens lens he imagined, the biological cornea looked a little cloudy, and there was something like white mist at the edges.

I measured it with an instrument, and the data was perfect.

The next step is to start animal experimentation.

The 100,000-word experiment is skipped here.

The animal experiments were completed smoothly.

After the National Day, they began to apply to the relevant departments for human experiments.

Because there is no need to use a knife, there is no need to inject and take medicine, and the bionic cornea can be removed when the receptor feels uncomfortable or there is rejection.

So the application was quickly approved.

The next step is to recruit volunteers for human experimentation.

The recruitment process of volunteers did not go smoothly at first, because the eyes are the most important organ in the human body, and even if the recruitment brochure says that the sky is over, ordinary people do not dare to do experiments easily!

If you are blind, even if you have 10 million or 100 million, you will not be able to compensate.

Later, after Marven was approved by Chen Xu, he asked Xinghai Science and Technology News to help write a special article and report it.

Xinghai Science and Technology News is now the most authoritative science and technology newspaper in China, and some of the latest scientific research achievements in China have also begun to be published on it.

It is conceivable that when Xinghai Science and Technology News reported that Xinghai Technology will soon overcome the world-class problem of myopia, what a huge sensation it will cause?

According to incomplete statistics, China's myopic population exceeds 450 million, and 9 percent of college students are myopia.

In winter, when you enter a warm room from outside, your glasses are immediately covered with a layer of fog;

In summer, when you go from the cool indoor to the hot outside, your glasses are immediately covered with a layer of fog;

The steaming heat of the meal during the meal immediately clouded the glasses with a layer of fog;

When running, the frame sways up and down, and I am always worried about running away;

Even kissing your boyfriend and girlfriend makes the glasses a big nuisance.

Xinghai Science and Technology News and the first news network, which was authorized to reprint for the first time, saw a surge in traffic.

Countless netizens have left messages.

"When will it come out, I will buy it if I sell my kidney!"

Ibid. I don't want to wear glasses, but not wearing glasses is really torture, it's worse than being blind, come and save me!"

"Yes, yes, myopia is so painful!"

"Only people who are nearsighted understand our pain. ”

"I want to have femtosecond surgery, but I'm afraid of the sequelae. ”

"Seven hundred in the left eye, eight hundred + 200 degrees astigmatism in the right eye, but I still can't help staying up all night playing with my mobile phone, and I'm afraid of being blind. ”

“……”

Xinghai Science and Technology News then posted an announcement on the official website APP that the Institute of Life Sciences was recruiting volunteers, and also said that the risk factor was less than 1% of femtosecond surgery.

Xinghai Science and Technology News is much more authoritative than the unknown Xinghai Research Institute, and on the day the news was announced, more than 10,000 volunteers signed up, and this number is still rising rapidly.

……

Tang Yao is a patient with deep myopia, with 1000 degrees in his left eye and 1100 degrees in his right eye plus astigmatism.

If you take off your glasses, you're blind.

The thick bottom of the beer bottle is propped up on the bridge of her nose, which is not good-looking, and she has the nickname of "four-eyed girl", which makes her very inferior.

But I couldn't muster up the courage to go for femtosecond surgery.

Because she has not been very lucky since she was a child, she has never even won five yuan to buy a lottery ticket, she is afraid that if there is an accident, she really can't afford to toss.

Ugly is ugly.

Today, Tang Yao saw the news announced by Xinghai Science and Technology News for the first time.

She is a technology fan and an iron fan of Xinghai Technology, and she thinks that the company's technology is very cool, so she has been a fan early.

Then after seeing the report, she didn't hesitate to click on the link, enter the volunteer recruitment platform, and fill in the information.

Tang Yao didn't expect to be selected at all.

Two days later, on the afternoon of Friday, October 16, Tang Yao, who was in class, suddenly received a phone call informing her that her registration had been successful.

Tang Yao was both surprised and surprised, with a hint of apprehension.

After a night of consideration, Tang Yao stepped on the plane to Zhonghai with nervousness early the next morning. The institute reimburses the cost of round-trip transportation as well as room and board.

Tang Yao arrived at the designated hotel in Zhonghai Minxi District at half past ten o'clock in the afternoon, and a special staff member received her and explained the content of the experiment to her.

This made Tang Yao, who had been nervous all the way, relaxed.

When she arrived at the room, she realized that there were 100 volunteers who were as lucky as her.

More people means safer experiments.

Otherwise, something will happen, and the institute will be unlucky.

The next morning, I went to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.

All passed.

At 8 a.m. on Monday the 19th, human trials officially began.

Everyone lined up in two lines to enter the laboratory in turn, from inside to out, for a maximum of five minutes.

Everyone went in with a nervous mood, and when they came out, they were all smiling, and many of the corners of their mouths were almost cracked behind their ears.

Tang Yao ranked relatively low, 92.

It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock that it was her turn.

Tang Yao walked in with apprehension.

At the request of the experimenter in the white coat, Tang Yao lay on the hydraulic sofa dedicated to eye examination, and the two hands subconsciously grabbed the sofa.

"Don't be nervous, little girl, there may be a slight burning sensation at first, this is because the biological cornea is attaching to the eyeball, which is normal and will not affect your eye in any way. ”

"Well, I see~"

The dazzling light hit Tang Yao's eyes, and then she felt something cold and cold put on her right eyeball.

Then another stream of water washed down.

Then there was a faint burning sensation in her eyes, giving her a feeling of swelling and pain, as if she was about to stretch her eyelids open.

However, the sensation lasted less than twenty seconds and quickly disappeared.

Then there's the left eye.

After all the whole process, a nurse in a white coat wiped her eyes with a white sterile towel and smiled: "Okay~ Look, how do you feel?"

Tang Yao habitually went to take the glasses placed on the bracket, and suddenly, the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

She looked at the scene in disbelief.

It's a whole new world.

There is no hazy, foggy ghosting of flowers, refreshing, clean, this is the real world!
