Chapter 35: The End of the Operation
Mr. Hamki received a communication. It was his boss, the armed cadre Fei Sha, who came.
"According to the detection of meteorological satellites, after three hours, there will be a relatively thin window period for sandstorms?" Mr. Hamki asked.
"Yes, visibility will be relatively high and there will be stable communication between the system and the individual soldiers." Lord Fraser said: "If the calculation does not deviate too much, this window period will last fifty minutes. And after that, there will be another heavy cloud of sand and dust. This is the last wave. In a few hours, the sandstorm will cease completely. ”
Hamki asked: "Are we going to wait for this sandstorm to pass completely before we carry out a massive bombardment?" ”
Most of those knights do not have access to weather satellite data. Even if they did infiltrate the satellite through the back door and gain permission, they wouldn't be able to connect to it in the wilderness. They don't have a stable base station.
This is not the case for asylum seekers. They don't need to hide themselves, so high-power base stations can be used. Even if a sandstorm mixed with a tiehua would cut off communications, they could even use large drones to transport storage devices with large amounts of information.
The Protectors knew the news of the weather changes, but the Knights knew nothing about it.
Asylum seekers can easily strategize based on this.
"Why do you think I'm talking to you about that fifty-minute or so window period?" The cadre asked rhetorically.
"Although the sand and dust will be thin in the corners, there is still ...... communication interference"
"That fifty-minute window will remind those knights that the sandstorm is coming to an end. Then, they will inevitably try to escape in the last thick sandstorm. Fraser said: "Their individual combat ability is indeed far stronger than ours. That's for sure. Judging from the melt marks and radiation residues on the disintegrated wreckage of the spaceship, Tao Enhai's stellarroder is still intact. They snatched at least sixteen more isotope batteries. The last group of knights to break through are definitely masters. ”
"If these knights gather in the sandstorm and make a quick assault, it is indeed possible to break through the defense line."
"Understood." Hamki bowed slightly: "You are right. ”
After saying that, a series of instructions were given.

When Xiang Shan temporarily lowered his hand from the protective cabin, Lu Xiu spoke: "Senior, now those brothers outside are asking, how long will it be." ”
As an assistant, you can't interfere with the chief surgeon under any circumstances. In most cases, Luciu could not speak. He can only relay the news from the outside to him when he is sure that Xiang Shan is "resting for a while".
Otherwise, Xiangshan is prone to operational errors.
The strong vitality of the baseline person, as well as the prosthetic technique, ensure that even if Xiang Shan misses, Tao Enhai may not die in the biological sense. However, under this kind of operation, a trembling surgeon may cause damage to Tao Enhai's memory, consciousness and even personality.
And Xiang Shan's ultimate goal is to completely retain this old friend's consciousness and martial arts.
Xiang Shan pressed his forehead and said after a while, "Four hours? Three hours? I'm not sure. ”
"I see." Lu Xiu said, "I'll go tell them. But they also want me to tell you that the wind speed is starting to become less stable and the density of the sand and dust is decreasing......"
Xiang Shan stood there for a few more seconds.
This should be a situation that Tao Enhai did not expect.
Now Xiang Shan is a "disabled person" at the spiritual level. He lost his memory. Almost all specific memories of the event are gone, leaving only subjective, ambiguous, and hazy emotional feelings.
Under normal circumstances, the human brain uses the elements that can be used in memory to fill in the forgotten gaps. Sometimes memory is like that. A person recalls something from the past many years later, and then turns through his diary and finds that the memory and the record are a little bit mismatched.
But Xiang Shan's brain doesn't have any material that can be used to "fill". He only remembered the science and technology that were rationally constructed, and the emotions that were completely unsupported by "facts".
His brain, his mental instinct, thirsted for wholeness.
And the memories that Tao Enhai gave him caused a series of storms in his mind. Xiang Shan could barely stop the process.
- I would like to make a supplementary note. Dr. Tao, our company's business scope includes gene therapy, cognitive science, and prosthetics. Our ultimate goal is to allow those who cannot stand to run, those who cannot see to see, and those who cannot live ...... We need to defeat disease and old age. If it were possible, I would even like to defeat death!
- Isn't that the greatest form of medicine?
Recall.
This is Tao Enhai's most cherished memory.
This is the most important piece of the puzzle in Xiang Shan's missing memory.
Xiang Shan pressed his head: "Don't think about this...... Don't ...... just yet. These are not needed for the time being...... Technology...... Technology...... Technology...... Surgery! The anatomy of the brain! ”
Xiang Shan roared to himself.
Xiangshan can't leave even a single Ivolu cell. Full coverage in the rate of cyber people is not infected by the vast majority of pathogens. But if any pathogen does break through the defenses built by this enzyme system, their lack of non-specific immunity will not be enough to eliminate it.
Now the surgery has reached the final step. The vast majority of the aberrant tissue made up of Ivolu cells has been cut off.
The surgery has also approached the neocortex of Tao Enhai.
Here, thoughts, memories, morals, and even personality are presented in the form of material formations. In this field, "ideas" are really presented in the form of matter between nerves.
Knives can really carve personalities here. But neither Rodin nor Michelangelo could carve anything beautiful here. Human technology has not yet fully dissolved the relationship between the material structure of the brain and the software of the mind.
It's the equivalent of covering a piece of stone with a cloth and then having a sculptor with almost unconscious hands to carve it.
Sometimes, of course, a sculptor can still sculpt something avant-garde in such a situation, and the probability is certainly greater than that of a monkey typing Shakespeare's Complete Works on a typewriter.
But no one would actually do such a thing.
Care must be taken......
Be careful......
- Boss, I have to say, you are really too rough with monkeys. Indeed, they are laboratory animals, and their fate is to undergo gene therapy experiments that kill them all their lives. Dissecting your brain is just a maximization of resources. But even then, you're acting too rudely. Did you know? A primate brain, if given to a medical student, can greatly improve his cognitive level......
Like pulling out a turnip and bringing out the mud, more memories swept over.
Be careful......
- Doctor...... We did it! We saved this man! He's alive! We saved him! We did it! Now, we have started the future of humanity!
Be careful......
- Everyone in the medical team can get 0.1% of the dividend!
Be careful......
-- The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard...... Dr. Tao, as long as you don't give up, it's still too late......
Another small patch of hideous Ivolu cells was isolated
The artificial glue fills another area.
Xiang Shan was suddenly overwhelmed by some emotion.
His consciousness had been stripped from his actions. In this operation, he is closer to a "plug-in" - he is a plug-in of Tao Enhai's memory.
Tao Enhai's technology is through his brain to save Tao Enhai's brain.
What this technology removes is Yagmow's cells.
These cells were donated in the name of humans for scientific and medical research.
Xiang Shan attached several pieces of medical electronic components to the inside of Tao Enhai's brain, carefully connecting the nerves to the data structure.
In 1966, psychologist George Hohmann interviewed 25 veterans, all of whom had suffered from a broken spine two years earlier or earlier. Homan asked them to describe the fear, anger, sexual urges, and sadness they experienced before and since the injury. They said that in addition to grief, they had a change in mood after the injury; The emotions are not as strong as before, and the feelings for themselves are silent, or they look at each other coldly. The bottom line is that the more severe the injury, the greater the change.
Non-central nervous system can also have an impact on mood. This is true for the nerves of the viscera and the nerves of the muscles.
A high paraplegic with a neck injury described his experience of lying in bed again, dropping a cigarette butt and reaching it. The cigarette butt most likely lit a carpet or a bed sheet and burned him to death. His reason was clear about this, but it could not produce the slightest fear. But even if there was no fear or panic, he still tried his best to extinguish the cigarette butt.
Physiological sensations are closely related to emotions. Just by losing the physical body, the prosthetic person will feel that something is wrong, and in the long run, it will cause psychological diseases. And in the 21st century, Xiang Shan's solution is to use electronic devices to input false sensory signals to make the brain think that the body is still there.
Just by losing those endings of the body system, the brain will feel abnormal, not to mention that Tao Enhai has lost the vast majority of his brain.
These lost functions cannot even be transferred from the compensatory mechanism to other parts for a short period of time.
One cannot sustain thinking in such a state of brain cripple. This has the potential to leave a terrible after-effects. It's like blindfolding a person for years. If you remove the cloth again, you will naturally lose your eyesight.
On the one hand, Lu Xiu wanted to use an anesthetic to suppress Tao Enhai's brain activity.
On the other hand, Xiangshan also needs to implant these electronic devices. They can act as a support in the first place, avoiding the deformation of the brain. On the other hand, they can also trick the rest of the brain into saying "you are still whole".
