Petru put the female corpse down and lay on the ground with his back to the scales as Aoki had requested.

Aoki pinched the female corpse's cervical vertebrae, and the bulge became more obvious.

"Give me the knife." He stretched out a hand, but his eyes did not leave the female corpse's cervical vertebrae.

Su Huilan also saw the bulging bag, which looked a bit like a severe cervical spondylosis patient at first glance, but if you distinguish it carefully, it is still different from the phenomenon of vertebrae misalignment.

The general cervical spondylosis is caused by long-term strain, resulting in intervertebral disc prolapse, and even severe displacement of vertebrae, and there will be obvious bone protrusion in the cervical spine. But the bag of the female corpse does not look like a bulge of bones, but more like a sarcoma.

Even though Su Huilan was curious, she didn't ask too much, and when she saw Aoki stretching out her hand to ask for a knife, she knew what he was going to do, and when he finished dissecting, everything would naturally be clear.

Petro pulled out his military dagger and handed it to Aoki.

Aoki used a knife to gently cut the skin behind the female corpse. He cut very carefully, starting from the skin tissue around the bulging bag, like a surgeon.

The outer flesh was cut off, and the epidermis on the sarcoma was lifted, revealing a small creamy yellow square hard piece the size of a fingernail.

A military dagger, although sharp, is not a scalpel after all. Aoki could only slowly peel off the fat from the cubes with the tip of his knife little by little. Even though the person is dead, there is still blood oozing out. He tore a bit of cloth from the woman's clothes and sucked the blood dry as he operated on it.

Su Huilan and Petru couldn't help but be curious, and lowered their heads to look.

After the fat and muscle tissue on the surface were cleaned up, it was found that the milky yellow square was actually transparent, and small dots and lines could be vaguely seen inside.

"Chips?!"

The dots and lines in the transparent square are clearly circuit diagrams, not to mention Su Huilan, who is at the professor-level level, even Petru can see it.

Aoki nodded silently and continued to concentrate on removing the impurities attached to the chip. When the surface of the chip was clean, and all the peripheral muscles and connective tissues were cut off, he inserted the tip of the knife into the bottom of the chip, cut a circle around the edge, and gently cocked up, and the chip was warped, and it could be seen that there were several rows of extremely thin membrane bands connected under the chip, which penetrated deep into the cervical bones.

Su Huilan exclaimed: "Let's not talk about the function of the chip, just this exquisite nerve surgery is already breathtaking!" Pull out the 31 pairs of spinal nerves in the human body from the spinal canal space and connect them to the chip, and make the nerve protection sleeve at the same time, so that the surrounding muscles and connective tissues are naturally attached to form a natural protective layer. After that, the chip became an integral part of the body, which is a medical miracle! ”

She suddenly turned to Aoki and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Aoki said, "Professor Mei has a chip there. ”

"I know that I played a key role in the development of the space box." Su Huilan's face was full of doubts, "Could it be ......?"

"Do you know where that chip came from?"

"I heard that I got it from Wuzhong's Guoan."

"Guoan was taken from my client's neck."

Aoki wasn't lying, Liu Huai'an was indeed his client. When he thought of Madman Liu, Aoki blamed himself a little. If he had put more effort into learning more about the real world of consciousness of Madman Liu, the ending might not have been so tragic, although death might be the best destination for Madman Liu.

"Ever heard of Lab 19?" He asked.

Su Huilan was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you mean the secret laboratory No. 19 of the Lawrence Berkeley National Experimental Center?" I've heard about it, it was famous in the early years, but it's been a long time since there has been any news about the lab. ”

Aoki originally thought that Su Huilan and Mei Yiqiu should be together, otherwise how could she appear in Professor Mei's laboratory when the space box was just developed and was still an experiment? And the two professors also seem to cherish each other and cooperate happily.

But he now discovers that this may have been his misunderstanding. Su Huilan had just said in the cave that she didn't trust Mei Yiqiu, and Professor Mei really didn't tell Su Huilan about Laboratory 19 and Xia Xiaoxiao.

What's going on? Aoki wasn't sure if there were some things he should tell Su Huilan.

"Understanding Internet Awareness?" He asked tentatively.

Su Huilan nodded and said: "A guess of artificial intelligence, it is difficult to prove at present. ”

Aoki was right to think about it, he could talk to the ghost on the LAN, but it was really difficult to find the "big brother" behind the ghost - the Internet. Theoretically, that giant creature never sleeps, doesn't dream, and if he is conscious, it will be difficult for you to find his subject, and you can only talk to countless of his doppelgangers.

But Aoki doesn't think it's a type of artificial intelligence. The "Kronos" invented by Bian Ziyuan is an artificial intelligence, while the "ghost" is a self-aware living being. In Aoki's eyes, these two things are completely different. He can come face-to-face with the ghost's consciousness in a certain way, but Kronos can only be a program forever, unless it also has autonomous consciousness one day.

Aoki briefly talked about Liu Huai'an and Lab 19, and kept some things about the ghost and Xia Xiaoxiao, which was not only a matter of trusting Su Huilan, but more importantly, he had promised to keep these things secret.

After finishing speaking, he took the knife and gestured a few times, looking a little helpless:

"There are still a lot of tissues involved, and if you don't have a scalpel, you can't clean it, and if you take it off, I'm afraid that the nerve junction will be destroyed."

"Why keep the nexus points?" Su Huilan said, "It's enough to have chips. ”

Aoki said: "The last time the chip was cleaned by the national security, Professor Mei's team has been studying for a long time but has not been able to restore the connection between the chip and the nervous system. ”

Su Huilan said decisively: "Then cut it off whole." ”

"What?" Aoki was stunned for a moment.

"I'll come." Su Huilan saw him hesitate, snatched the knife from his hand, drew a circle the size of the bottom of a bowl on the back of the corpse's neck, and after cutting out the whole piece of meat, she used her hand again, and the knife was inserted from the cervical vertebrae, and two vertebrae were cut out.

Not to mention Aoki, even Petru, who kills people without blinking, watched her use the deceased's clothes to wash the bloody whole flesh and bone that had just been dug up, and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, and said in her heart that this woman is really ruthless!

He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and asked, "Are you going to make a specimen?" I don't have formalin. ”

"Formalin will corrode the chips, so it's best to soak them in alcohol," Su said. ”

"There was no alcohol, but there were a few bottles of Polish distilled vodka, and I don't know if the purity was enough," Petru said. ”

"Are you willing to make such a good wine?" Su Huilan teased and studied the chip under the light, "The material of this chip is not like silicon, it should be carbon." ”

"Carbon?" For the first time, Aoki heard that carbon can also be used to make chips.

"Graphene." Su Huilan said, "But Andre isolated graphene in Manchester in 04, and it has been 10 years since he won the Nobel Prize. The technology is completely immature so far, and there is still a long way to go to make a chip that can be used by computers and replace traditional silicon cores, let alone such a sophisticated human biochip. It's only been a few years since the explosion of graphene technology? Even if Laboratory 19 had advanced technical strength, the development time could not be short, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the source of the technology in this lab is not from Earth at all!"
