In the Yinhui Hospital in the west of Aixing city center, Hao Wu sat on a stool outside the emergency room, staring blankly at the blood on his hands that had dried up. I was supposed to be there in person, that was the only thing he was thinking.

At this moment, the lights in the operating room dimmed. Hao Wu quickly stood up, only to see the doctor in charge of the surgeon come out.

"I'm sorry, we've done our best." The doctor took off his mask and said euphemistically.

After Hao Wu heard this, he sat back in his seat with a slump of his ass, not knowing what to say. "He Zhi, she. . . Before he could finish speaking, the doctor suddenly answered: "I, in fact, have an offer, I don't know if you can accept it." ”

"What proposal?" Hao Wu looked at the doctor with a gloomy face.

"Although Ms. Xu's heart has stopped now, her brain waves are still normal, and if you can accept it, you can consider a memory transplant."

"Memory transplant surgery?"

"Although this surgery has been in place for a long time, it has not been recognized by many people, and so far only two such surgeries have been initiated." The surgeon explained.

After hearing this, Hao Wu suddenly stood up excitedly, "As long as it is a way to save He Zhi, I can accept it!" He said, clasping the doctor's hand.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to my explanation. This operation is actually to copy the memory of the human cerebral cortex into the electronic brain of the existing robot through a special mechanical copy, to put it bluntly, it is to transmit the human memory to the robot's brain, so as to prolong the human . At this point, the doctor paused, "Prolong the time that man exists in this world." ”

Hao Wu was still a little confused after hearing this, "Then won't He Zhi become a robot after the operation?" ”

"It's essentially a robot, but we can make her look like a real human through artificial skin, hair, and other technologies, but so far there are so few people who have undergone this kind of surgery, so we can't say for sure." After speaking, the doctor added: "Another point, so far, the retention of memories is also time-limited, about 30 years, after which these memories will be gradually lost, that is, the life span after surgery is only more than 30 years." ”

Hao Wu hesitated for a while, stood in place and pondered for a while, and finally nodded to the doctor.

"Then I'm going to go to the doctor who specializes in this area, and this operation should be done as soon as possible, because we have to perform the operation as soon as possible within a few hours of the person's death, so if even the brain dies after this time, it will be too late." After speaking, he instructed a few assistant doctors who were still in the rescue room to say a few words. Before going to prepare for the operation, after the doctor whispered a few words in Hao Wu's ear, he was stunned. Because the cost is prohibitively high.

. . . . . .

At about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, the members of the first team of the criminal police team arrived at Yinhui Hospital, and the hospital was already empty.

Hao Wu was sitting in the emergency hall waiting for them at this time.

When the team members saw Hao Wu, they hugged him vigorously and immediately asked about Xu Hezhi's condition.

Hao Wu didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he explained it far-fetchedly: "He Zhishe, there is no big problem, she... Doctors are performing a memory transplant on her. We probably won't see her for a while. He explained vaguely. At this time, He Zhi had been transferred to another operating room, and the doctor in charge told Hao Wu that for the sake of both parties, they could not meet for a month after the operation, but the specific reason was that the doctor was reluctant to say more.

After hearing the news, the vast majority of the members were shocked, they didn't understand what kind of operation Captain Hao Wu was talking about. And only Lu Jian and Zhang Linlin covered their mouths in surprise after hearing this.

"Could it be that Sister Xu, she. . " Lu Jian stopped, and he didn't continue. Zhang Linlin, who was on the side, suddenly fell to his knees and cried.

"Captain, why did you put her on this surgery?" Zhang Linlin asked crying.

Hao Wu didn't understand the intention of Lin Lin's words, and replied, "Because the doctor said that this is the only way to keep her alive." After Zhang Linlin heard this, he didn't say anything more, but just cried vigorously.

The uncle was a little impatient, "So what the hell is going on?" What is memory transplant surgery? The rest of the team also anxiously awaited answers.

Lu Jian pushed the frame of his glasses and said: "Memory transplant surgery is to input human memories into the brains of robots, and the purpose of the surgery is to prolong the time of those who can no longer save their lives. ”

Li Zhe was stunned after hearing this, and lowered his head. Sister Xu, she died? So what exactly is this surgery? All of this was caused by Sister Xu in order to save herself, and the guilt in his heart at this time felt like he was about to crush him.

At this moment, a pair of hands were heavily placed on his shoulders, and Li Zhe hurriedly raised his head, only to find that it was Captain Hao Wu.

"There's no need for you to rush to blame yourself, if you have been unable to let go, then when you and Sister Xu meet again, you can say it to her in person." Captain Hao turned his head and glanced at everyone, "Then I'll go first, let's go home and rest early." You are responsible for driving the car back to headquarters. After saying that, Hao Wu disappeared into the dark night.

At this time, everyone also knows in their hearts that the captain is the most uncomfortable one in their hearts.

. . . . . .

Time comes back to the present.

Zhang Linlin was lying on the desk, probably because she had just finished lunch, which made her feel a little sleepy.

She recalled the day when she and Xu Hezhi had just graduated from the police academy, and they had made an appointment to have dinner together that day. While eating, Zhang Linlin told Xu Hezhi about an article he saw on the Internet not long ago.

"Memory transplant surgery?" Xu Hezhi looked at the article and asked.

"yes, this surgery is really a bit unbelievable, I never thought that humans could live without their own bodies." After Zhang Linlin finished speaking, he took a bite of the pasta on the plate, "He Zhi, if you were about to die, would you be willing to accept this operation?" ”

He Zhi propped his hand on the table, while his hand supported his chin, and thought thoughtfully for a while, "I don't know, but I think at that time, will it be myself in that robot's body?" ”

"Maybe, but it's scary to think about." And just like that, they ended the topic hastily.

And just as Zhang Linlin was thinking about the past, the office door suddenly opened, and they should have come back from eating. But the figure that came in startled her.

"He Zhi, is it you, why are you here?" Zhang Linlin stood up and asked in surprise. Because when He Zhi was discharged from the hospital, Captain Hao Wu went to pick her up alone and did not let the rest go, so Zhang Linlin hadn't seen his former friend for a long time.

When He Zhi saw his friend, he smiled: "Long time no see, Lin Lin, I'm worried about you." ”

Suddenly met, Zhang Linlin may have been a little overjoyed, and rushed up directly to hug He Zhi.

"Is it really you?" After she let go of He Zhi, Zhang Linlin began to look at her, "Why did you become short-haired?" ”

He Zhi replied: "The doctor said that short hair is more suitable for me who is now a robot body, because it is artificial hair, so my hair will not grow in the future." ”

In addition to his hair, Zhang Linlin also found that He Zhi was unexpectedly wearing a pair of gloves today, so he inquired curiously. He Zhi told her that except for the temperature of her head that is close to that of a human body, the rest of her body is only about 20 degrees, which is very cold. In order to prevent direct physical contact with others, I went out with gloves for the time being.

After chatting with his friends for a while, Zhang Linlin's suppressed mood finally improved a lot. Although his appearance has changed, he feels that He Zhi is still his old friend, except for his overly calm performance now. Because in her impression, He Zhi has always been cute and cute, and occasionally does stupid things, but now he looks extremely mature.

At this time, the door was pushed open again, and it turned out that the team members had returned. When everyone saw Xu Hezhi, they were all a little surprised, and they flocked up to ask this and that. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became lively, and everyone teased each other as if they had gone back to before.

The uncle suddenly proposed: "Call a big dinner tonight, let's celebrate!" Everyone readily agreed to this proposal, but Xu Hezhi was silent after hearing it, because eating was not a very important thing for her, although she could eat, too much food would damage her bodily functions. But in order not to discourage everyone's interest, she reluctantly agreed in the end.

When everyone was immersed in joy, Li Zhe looked a little sullen. Seeing Sister He Zhi with a robot body, he couldn't help but feel some self-blame. But at this moment, he didn't have the courage to face her and say sorry to her, he was a little angry at his cowardice.

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open for the third time, and it was conceivable that it was Hao Wu who came in.

After seeing He Zhi for the first time, he seemed to be vaguely aware of something, but his subconscious still made him involuntarily ask, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, everyone reacted, and no one asked why He Zhi came here today.

He Zhi took out her smartphone, and after a few strokes on the screen, she read: "Police officer Xu Hezhi, please report to the mechanical room of the headquarters this afternoon." That's what the notice says. ”
