401 - Craniotomy

A month later.

In the ICU ward on the first floor of the Central Hospital of Life Science City.

An old man with a dead complexion and a thin appearance was slowly pushed out of the ICU ward and towards the operating room.

Next to the operating room, in addition to the three nurses, there were four family members with different expressions following him, the leader of which was an old man in his sixties, and next to him seemed to be the family members of the old man.

These men watched with serious expressions as the three nurses pushed the patient away, and they followed until they reached a sterile operating room.

"You can't go in."

After following this, one of the nurses stopped the crowd, "The environment inside is sterile, and if you enter, you will infect the patient." ”

"But my grandfather is in there."

A man in his thirties, with a cockscomb head, a denim suit and a nose ring, spread his hands, he turned his head, and suddenly saw a door next to the operating room, and one of the nurses walked in, revealing that there was an observation window in the door that could see the operating room, and suddenly said loudly, "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" ”

"What's the matter, Bruno?"

The old man turned to the man and asked.

"Father, they have an observation room next to the operating room, and I saw a nurse walk in!"

The man with the nose ring screamed loudly, and at the same time tried to push the door of the observation room, but was stopped by two stiff-looking security guards at the door.

"Hey, man, it's my grandfather who did the surgery, why didn't you let me in?"

The nose ring man asked as he pushed away the other's hands.

However, the two men dressed as security guards did not provide any explanation.

"Is that so?"

The old man immediately looked at the nurse who was blocking him, "My father Watson's operation, can we go in and observe?" ”

"This ......"

The nurse hesitated for a moment, and then was puzzled, "Mr. Qian is observing the operation inside today, forget it...... I'll go ask for instructions. ”

Then she walked in.

Half a minute later, the nurse walked out again, and she nodded to the three of them, "Mr. Qian allows you to enter, please keep quiet." ”

"What bullshit Mr. Money......"

The man with the nose ring known as Bruno muttered in a low voice, but was then stopped by the old man on the side, "Bruno, this is not your Chicago third-rate biker gang, you should pay more attention to your words." ”

With that, several people entered the observation room at the invitation of the nurse.

After the old man walked in, the first thing he saw was a bright and bright floor-to-ceiling window on his left, and on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window was the operating room.

In the observation room, there are two long sofas and a coffee table, and three people are sitting on the sofas, as if they are talking about something.

When the old man saw one of the white men in his forties, his eyes suddenly widened and he showed a look of astonishment, "Uncle Felix...... Is that you? ”

The white man in his forties raised his head when he heard this, and when he saw the gray-haired old man in front of him, he immediately smiled, "It turned out to be little Watson, we haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, right?" ”

"It's really your ......"

The old man's face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly pulled Bruno on the side to step forward, "Thank you for taking care of me, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have come to Life Science City for treatment, the medical expenses here are too high...... This is my son Bruno. ”

"I remember the last time I saw Bruno, he was a teenager and he was so old in the blink of an eye."

Felix nodded, a kind expression.

Suddenly, there was such a strange scene in the observation room - a gray-haired old man was extremely respectful to a middle-aged man in his forties, acting as a junior, and everyone on the side did not have the slightest look of surprise, as if all this should have been so.

This is a major change in human civilization after the birth of the "Aging Reversal Treatment" project, and appearance is no longer the first factor in judging age.

"Mr. Felix......"

At this time, Bruno finally became cautious, although he was an uneducated gangster, but the name of the Munster family had been heard, obviously it was just a new family, but its strength was comparable to those old conglomerates, and I heard that even Chicago's strongest biker party was inextricably linked to this family.

"Hello, Bruno."

Felix nodded, as if thinking of something, and was about to introduce a young man sitting next to him, but the other party just waved his hand.

So, Felix had to introduce the person opposite him, "This is the head of Life Science City, and he is also the CEO of Blackwatch in Africa, Mr. Qian Wenhuan Qian." ”

"I've seen you on TV."

The old man showed a look of surprise, and took the initiative to step forward and shake Qian Wenhuan's hand, not minding that the other party was a young man under thirty years old, but he inadvertently swept over the young man sitting next to Felix.

Although the young man seemed to be the youngest of the three, the veteran old man could see at a glance that the young man was the one with the highest status among the three.

"Could it be that this person is ......?"

A thought flashed in his heart, and the old man's heart froze, but since the other party stopped Felix's introduction, he didn't reveal the identity of the other party, but after shaking hands with Qian Wenhuan, he nodded kindly to the young man.

The young man also smiled slightly, counting as a response.

Next, Felix enthusiastically asked everyone to sit down on the sofa and began to greet casually, until the preparation of the operating room next door was completely completed, and everyone looked behind the floor-to-ceiling windows. 16 reading

At the same time, they connected James Watson, who had been in a coma for a month, to life-sustaining instruments such as electrocardiogram and BIS machine, and then injected James Watson with anesthetics, which made James Watson fall into a deep sleep.

Then one of the nurses came forward with a razor, and the nurse was very skilled at the knife, but in a few minutes, James Watson had just grown a little hair, and his scarred head was shaved again, and then sterilized.

After shaving his head, several other nurses stepped forward and operated the operating table under James Watson for a while, and after a while, the operating table turned into a semi-recumbent chair, and James Watson also changed from lying flat to sitting.

Then, two more nurses brought the operating frame, set it on top of James Watson's head, clamped his head, and exposed only the Tianling cover with several surgical wounds, and then put on the operating table cloth.

At this point, James Watson's Heavenly Spirit Cover was once again exposed to the doctor and everyone in the observation room next door.

Strictly speaking, this is the second craniotomy, and the doctor directly cut the scalp little by little along the previous suture position, and then a doctor lifted the scalp and pulled the scalp to the face after stopping the bleeding with electrocoagulation forceps.

Suddenly, a terrifying scene appeared, James Watson's entire face was blocked by his own scalp, revealing only the bloodshot skull on the top with several cracks, multiple fractures and signs of repair......

"Prepare for craniotomy, hemostats, norepinephrine ready!"

"Be optimistic about the BIS machine to prevent the patient from consciously showing signs of awakening......"

Hearing the order of the attending doctor from the loudspeaker in the operating room, everyone in the observation room invariably stopped talking, among which Qian Wenhuan and Felix even stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, as if they didn't want to miss all this.

As James Watson exposed the layer of skull under the skin, the doctor began to use a drill to unscrew the adapter that had been nailed before, and removed most of the skull like a building block.

Under the skull, there was a white dural layer, and as the doctor cut open the slowly wriggling meningeal layer again, the already injured brain was completely exposed to everyone.

After seeing the scarred brain, not only James Watson's family, but even Qian Wenhuan and Felix couldn't help but gasp.

Although it had been processed before, the brain was still missing several areas as if it had been gnawed by a dog, showing an irregular shape.

These missing areas were destroyed by bullets and had to be removed during previous surgeries, leaving James Watson's brain like a piece of tofu in a drifting tofu cart, completely devoid of its original rounded shape.

This kind of appearance is not dead, it is really fatal......

This is the true inner thoughts of all people at this time.

However, the group of doctors did not have the slightest surprise, apparently they had already known James Watson's state at this time when they did CT and other images before, "The brain structure has been confirmed, no signs of infection or deterioration have been found, and implantation surgery can be performed...... NSR Implant Ready! ”

With the order of the chief surgeon, the equipment that had been placed in the corner, like a hood, was pushed over.

After the device was pushed, the hood in it was directly placed on top of James Watson's head with the doctor's control, and then a row of lasers quickly swept through, scanning James Watson's brain inside and out, and then extinguished in an instant.

What is this for, laser mapping?

Many people looked at Qian Wenhuan suspiciously, but they didn't know that Qian Wenhuan was also confused, and he had seen this instrument for the first time, but it was obvious that his boss had used the top engineers in the entire industrial park for the sake of this equipment, this equipment called "NSR implanter......

But before everyone could savor it, something like a sewing machine slowly descended above the hood, approaching James Watson's brain.

If you have better eyesight, you can still see that at the port of the sewing machine, there is a chip the size of a fingernail.

Next, as if mending a coat and hat, this sewing machine-like device continued to go up and down James Watson's brain at an extremely fast frequency, and the amplitude of the swing was so small that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even see that the instrument was constantly swinging up and down.

"What is this doing?"

Bruce looked at his father with some confusion.

"Obviously, it's fixing James Watson's brain."

Felix spread his hands, and then he looked at the young man from Zhongzhou who was also standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "Am I right, Your Excellency Chen Chen?" ”

The young man from Zhongzhou who had been silent was none other than Chen Chen, and at this time he nodded in the face of everyone's doubts, "Yes, this is a technology that uses a special AI chip to replace the missing brain part, connecting part of the nerves of the brain through nano-level electrodes, so that the chip completely becomes a part of the brain, which helps to repair the damaged functions of the brain." ”

"Miraculous!"

Watson's son, the old man, was shocked when he heard this, he was a biological researcher like his father, although he was not as good as his father's achievements in this area, but he was not far behind.

Therefore, among those present, he is the only one who understands what this technique means......

It's a technology that can revolutionize neuroscience!

"Well, this will last more than ten hours."

Chen Chen turned around and walked towards the door, "If I were you, I'd wait outside until all these chips are implanted in Watson's brain." ”

"Why does it take so long?"

Bruce asked subconsciously, but Chen Chen did not answer, but left the observation room directly.

"Bruce, what Your Excellency Chen Chen said is already very clear."

The old man immediately frowned and looked at his unlearned son, to prevent his unlearned son from causing trouble, so he had to explain, "Do you know how many neurons there are in the brain? Millions are not enough to describe, and before His Excellency Chen Chen mentioned nanoelectrodes, that is, there may be tens of thousands of nanoscale electrodes on a chip the size of a fingernail. ”

"And every time this device swings, it is equivalent to inserting an electrode into the brain and connecting a neuron, which is a very delicate work, even if it swings ten times a second, it can only insert ten electrodes, so you understand why it takes more than ten hours, right?"

Bruce wanted to say something, but was glared back by his father's stern eyes.

Felix smiled, "Okay, in that case, let's go outside and wait, and see if Life Science City can surprise James Watson and us in a dozen hours." ”

"Your Excellency Felix, please come here, and the rest of you please come with me, and I will arrange a rest room for you."

Hearing Felix's words, Qian Wenhuan naturally knew what to do, he made a gesture of invitation and welcomed everyone out of the observation room.

In the operating room, the original nurses and doctors also withdrew from here, leaving only two nurses to watch over them, in case anything went wrong.

As most of the people left, the lights in the operating room also dimmed, and the operating room, which was bright and could not see any shadow, completely fell into darkness, leaving only the equipment above James Watson's head still working tirelessly......
