Chapter 46 The X-Green Light Project
Ma Jiran looked at the room he was taken to, the room was less than four square meters, everything was white, except for a surveillance head, a bed, and there was nothing. Earlier, a burgeoning nurse came in with a tray of medical equipment and injected him with a tiny needle filled with a small amount of blue liquid. Then, 24 hours later, the energetic nurse came again, smiled seductively at him, and this time drew a large needle of his blood.
"The results are in, there are immune." A few hours later, the energetic nurse reported to a balding doctor in front of her.
The doctor is manipulating complex models on the computer to assemble them. Without raising her head, her fingers tapped on the desktop of her right hand, and the nurse put down the information, turned her head and opened the door and walked out. She shook her round buttocks, which her short skirt could barely hold, and walked down a hallway, where she observed and recorded several people in the same room as Ma Ji.
The doctor finished his work and picked up the materials on his right.
"There are 32 eligible volunteers for physical examination, 2 immunized people, and 10 people under the age of 25." The doctor frowned, the percentage of young people was a bit low. With this implant procedure, young individuals are more likely to succeed. Because their bone marrow, neuromodulation, and hormone secretion are all active, their metabolism is rapid, and they are more likely to eliminate the negative effects of implantation.
However, volunteers are so difficult to find, and those volunteers in the outer ring have more or less certain lesions and deformities in their bodies. Too few of the heart, liver, and kidneys function well. And those inside the outer ring. As soon as I heard about human experiments... No one will come. If you are not cornered, who will sell yourself in exchange for the life of your immediate family?
At this time, the doctor turned his head and pressed the button on the wall behind him, and after a while, another young graduate student came to his room, "Teacher... β
"You're in charge of screening the subjects for this surgery, and we'll do three first. Contact the people at Five Tiger Metalworking and ask them to prepare the materials. β
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Xu Jia was taken away by a low-key black bus. All she remembered was a ring printed on the bus with a fluorescent green X in it. There are already dozens of people in the car. Without exception, they are all residents of somewhere in the Outer Ring. Some of these people have excitement in their eyes, and some have sadness in their eyes. There was a woman with a five-year-old child who was folding her hands and chanting prayers. Xu Jia clutched a note tightly in her hand, which she found when she got up yesterday morning to help her aunt collect her clothes. There are only three words on it: I'm sorry. She recognized it as Ma Ji's words, and she crumpled the note and threw it away. But then she picked up the note again, opened it and looked at the three words again. There was a little panic in her heart, as if these three words were not an apology. It's a farewell.
Along the way, Xu Jia was shocked, since she moved into the Shudu Ring City, she has never left the outer ring. When the unattainable huge steel gate slowly rose under the drive of machinery, it came into Xu Jia's eyes. It is a brightly lit sky. It is neatly lined with high-powered daylight lighting. Under the sky, there is no end to the green. Many 'farmers' dressed in uniform white are busy picking or sowing seeds. In the distance, some farm machinery is harvesting a golden patch. Xu Jia swallowed, since the sky was covered by dark clouds, he had never seen such a dazzling green. On the viaduct across the field, Xu Jia overlooked. Is this the granary of Shudu, the second ring of everyone's food source?
Soon, the viaduct came to an end, and the gate of a tunnel opened, and the black bus slowly drove into it. Looking at the tunnel lights that flashed like flying fireflies, Xu Jia was very puzzled. Where exactly did they take themselves? Her heart doesn't really matter. He was a student of the original Shudu No. 12 Middle School, and when the catastrophe occurred, he had just entered his first year of high school. His mother was beautiful, and just a year before she was born in high school, her mother divorced his father and went away with a large sum of money. His father was devastated and slumped, soaking in the vat all day. Every time he was drunk, he beat up Xu Jia, who looked like his mother, and muttered vaguely "Slut!" Betray me! β
Xu Jia couldn't stand the beating and hid at her aunt's house. The aunt has no children under her knees, and she still takes good care of Xu Jia. The good times didn't last long, the X catastrophe broke out, and seeing the city walls rising day by day, Xu Jia's aunt's house was no longer as comfortable as it used to be. They ran around all day, and even Xu Jia saw his aunt take out the jewelry, and even some red books printed with "land property rights", etc., and sell them.
Then, before the city wall was built, Xu Jia's aunt's family was kicked out of the house. Seeing that their community was razed to the ground on the same day, countless construction machinery drove in and re-built the foundation in the same place. The outer ring can be said to have been built under the witness of countless aborigines.
After buying a house in the outer ring, Xu Jia moved into the iron building in the outer ring with her aunt, and the conditions were very different from before. Since then, Xu Jia has never heard of his alcoholic father, and his alcoholic father has not taken much care of family affairs, it used to be her mother in charge, and later it became Xu Jia to worry about. So how his father is living now, Xu Jia doesn't want to know.
As life in her aunt's family became more and more difficult, Xu Jia was disgusted by her aunt's man's superfluous person... Waste of food. And the aunt, who used to be kind, also remained silent under the pressure of life.
So Xu Jia wandered around the market and helped those gangsters cheat people and steal things. has become a standard little sister in the outer ring Xicheng District. Some of these gangsters are unemployed, and some are troubled teenagers like them. And Ma Ji is one of them, Ma Ji has a fresh face. Coupled with the gloomy light eyebrows, and some actions that are often arrogant... all made her, an adolescent girl, very excited.
He likes to follow Ma Ji, and although Ma Ji always ignores her, he will still share things with her when he steals, and Ma Ji's coolness fascinates her. However, everything changes, and she witnesses the death of Maji's father. This gang of gangsters is under the command of another boss in Xicheng District. The power is so strong that I don't know how much stronger than the outcasts like them, and Ma Ji may not be able to take revenge in his life. He suddenly remembered his alcoholic father, and remembered that in this outer ring, he, like Ma Ji, had no place to stay.
Just when she was immersed in her memories, the staff on the car spoke: "Please keep order, please follow the staff if you get off the bus and your family members who are called by name, please don't walk around if you don't get called, this is a scientific research center." In some places, trespassing can lead to shooting. β
"Liu Jianjia...
"Here, here." A middle-aged woman waved her hand and excitedly led a teenager out of the crowd. An expressionless 'glasses' in a suit came over, "Follow me... β
"Zhang Huajia."
"γγγγγγγ here"
"Chen Honghong's family...
"To γγγγγ"
"Ma Ji Family"
γγγγγ For a full 10 seconds, no one answered, when Xu Jia heard the 'Ma Ji family', he was instantly blindsided, was he here because of Ma Ji's relationship?
"Ma Ji's family... Xu Jia! Have you arrived?? β
"To. . . Arrive... Xu Jia stood up in a daze.
The person holding the booklet gave her a blank look, "Who in your family doesn't know??" Follow him! "Pointing to the side ...
Xu Jia, who settled down in a neat one-bedroom room, vaguely understood what was going on. People on the road told him that if his family was still alive after the experiment, then congratulations on his salary would arrive on time.
If you fail and die, then unfortunately, you can only receive a daily subsistence allowance. That is, the ration of three meals a day. For the rest, you can only figure it out on your own. The passer-by explained to him the precautions for the family members in the scientific research area, left a booklet and a key, turned around and closed the door and left.
Flipping through the booklet, Xu Jia understood the reason why she was here. Volunteer for the X-Green Light Project human trial. Xu Jia raised her head and burst into tears. She owes Ma Ji in this life... I can't pay it off.
Xu Jia sat on the edge of the bed, still holding the crumpled ball of paper in her hand, and she looked out the distant window, the dark clouds. "Ma Ji..."
Ma Ji looked at the white light of the dazzling surgical lamp, and his whole body was fixed on a stainless steel bed. He was surrounded by various instruments, connecting various parts of his body, and a doctor wearing a mask was flicking the needle in his hand, squeezing out the air bubbles inside.
Looking through the glass, Ma Ji looked at the two people who began to tremble on the steel bed in the next room, and his heart was surprisingly calm. If you die, see Dad. He had to kneel before his father and repent of his ignorance and cowardice. Confess your misery in life ... Made a deserter. "Come onγγγγ" Ma Ji's heart shouted!
Five minutes after the potion in the needle was squeezed into the drip next to him, Ma Ji closed his eyes and fell asleep. The rhythmic exhalation ~ inhalation ~ from the mask of the auxiliary respirator, and the regular ticking ~ ticking ~ of the heartbeat detector. The stainless steel bed is erected with a 30 bevel angle, and a herringbone groove in the middle is fixed in the middle, and the next surgery is performed on both the front and back.
The scalpel that flashed with cold light cut into Ma Ji's skin, and Ma Ji, who was naked, didn't realize it.
First of all, the back was incised, the superficial skin near the spine was removed, and then the main nerve bundles of the branch lines were separated with a nerve separation device, and his spine was covered with a metal shell like a keel, and then his chest cavity was opened and supported by a huge bracket, the sternum and ribs were sawn off, and the assistant of the chief surgeon passed the metallic 'ribs' through the costal muscles. Finally, it is fastened to the metal shell of the spine. Finally, the ribs are snapped onto a piece of metal sternum.
After doing this step, the surgeon wiped his sweat and glanced at the heartbeat monitor. The assistant said next to him: "The heartbeat began to drop, 50 beats per minute, steady.
"Go on." The surgeon took a look.
The next step was to punch holes in the shoulder bone of Ma Ji and add a spinal connection lever on the outside. Then there is the surgery of the shoulder joint, in which the entire shoulder joint plus the arm bone is added with two more strengthening levers, and nano peripheral interfaces are implanted on the shoulder, elbow, and dorsal bone of the hand. This is followed by the oblique triangular multi-segment brace for the pelvis and spine, the leg bone, the patella, and then the ankle and the arch of the foot.
During pelvic surgery, "the heartbeat began to plummet, the muscles began to spasm irregularly, and the bleeding increased. The observer reported the data expressionlessly next to him, "Forty-five, forty-two, thirty-nine... β
The chief surgeon immediately ordered his assistant: "5 ml of epinephrine, intramuscular injection... Fast... β
Two days after the operation, Ma Ji was still asleep, crisscrossed with suture wounds, scalp extending to his ankles, the back of his head, shoulders, knees and feet with bare cables and a transparent glass tube. Belts are tied all over the body. He will also be immobilized in a hospital bed for at least a week until the muscles fit the metal to heal.
The doctor looked at Ma Ji through the transparent glass window, and in his hand was a stack of surgical reports.
"Is this the only one who survived?" The doctor's brow furrowed, constantly comparing the clinical response and the test report.
Ma Ji opened his eyes, and his surroundings changed from light to dark... I don't know how long it took. He wanted to get up, and as soon as he moved, a tidal wave of pain hit him, and Ma Ji let out a miserable howl. The pain all over the body is like a severe burn, accompanied by itching. It made him want to faint again. With his howl, two doctors immediately came in outside the door, began to hold his head, injected him with a needle, the effect of the medicine was immediate, and he slowly fell back into a deep sleep... It's just that the muscles all over the body are still twitching slightly, expressing severe pain.
Seven days later, the doctor watched with satisfaction as Ma Ji pushed the drip rack, barely able to move indoors. The metal tissues that had been implanted in his body had fused with him.
"Mr. Ma Ji, first of all, thank you for your dedication, the X-Green Light project has been completed on you. With your reference, we succeeded in 7 of the next 32 surgeries. But you are the most special, your body seems to have received the transplant of the human bionic machine perfectly, and we have found no rejection in you in other volunteers. β
"But I have to tell you a piece of news, Mr. Maji." The doctor said to him solemnly. "The human mimetic device transplant is really just one part of the project, the nano joints of your limbs are driven by a microbial current, which is your nerve current, but the central spine is driven by a different power source. That is, the one on the back of your neck, due to the problem of the machine's own power storage, you can't leave the external power supply for more than 6 hours. Otherwise, the armor plates of your spine will stiffen from the loss of energy. β
Ma Ji listened expressionlessly, and when he turned around, the armor plates on his back that were deeply embedded in his spine were clearly visible, and the skin on his back had been removed, and those armor plates were exposed on his back, like a huge ironclad centipede.
"Then you'll be transferred to another department for other tests. Mr. Ma Ji, you... Ready to get started? β
Someone then brought Ma Ji clothes, helped him get fit, and pulled the plug from the back of his neck. Two men in black suits came over and helped him out of the research institute and took him to a car.
The doctor watched Ma Ji leave, as if he had given up a beloved toy.
Ma Ji, the person who surprised him enough, he originally had the intention to leave it for further study, and from Ma Ji he saw more possibilities in the future. The transplantation of bionic machinery, in his opinion, is only a replacement. Ma Ji's human development is far from the limit, and in the path of the future super soldier, Ma Ji has the most likely qualifications.
The doctor lifted his glasses, retracted his thoughts, picked up another document in his hand, and flipped through the first page, which was impressively printed with a picture of a girl, and the name underneath read: "Chen Honghong." β
