Chapter 181: Awakening
Outside this super-first-class hospital, surrounded by a bustling crowd, various media outlets heard the wind and sent a large number of reporters to find out the specific situation.
With such a large number of casualties, it is impossible to completely conceal it, and there is no need for the new government to conceal it.
"Mr. Li, do you know the specific casualties?"
"Mr. Li, why did such an accident happen?"
"Is it the material that is not qualified? Or is it the negligence of the staff? In the face of reporters who were frantically trying to break into the hospital, some soldiers with loaded guns quickly blocked the door, followed by an expert in a suit who was interviewed in person.
"As far as I know, it was during the testing of the planetary-class electromagnetic railgun, because of an operation error, there was an engineering accident...... The detailed results are still under investigation. ”
"About 19 people were injured and are out of danger. One person is still out of danger and is still in emergency rescue...... Don't worry, everyone, the whole thing has not yet been determined! ”
This hospital is not only an ordinary hospital, but also a research center in brain neuroscience! Except for the family members of the patients, no one is allowed to enter, including this group of journalists.
In the emergency room, more than 100 experts responsible for siliconization surgery are also gathered. Time waits for no one, people are about to hang up, they don't have much effort to conduct targeted research, they can only discuss a few words casually, and then according to the usual research data, they bite the head.
……
"There's no way, this body must not be used, all organs are in a state of internal bleeding, and many parts have died of lack of oxygen. We can only transplant the most important brain ......"
"For such a serious damage, we first had to use stem cells to repair it, and then try to install a secondary brain ...... Well, the auxiliary brain, you know, this is the latest technology. ”
"Then, after the brain is repaired, a biochemical clone is installed, which is a mechanized human body...... I don't want all of the old ones. The surface of the clone is made of cellular components, which are exactly the same to the touch, and will not differ from the original in any way. ”
Several women have long cried into tears, and what kind of transplanted brains, clones, etc., sounds a little appalling. So much so that the expert in charge of explaining the face turned slightly pale.
He spit out a series of proper nouns from his mouth, which made the other party cry even more. Obviously, this was the first time this had happened to the young specialist, and he did not know how to comfort the patient's family.
The women were just crying vigorously, in a state of six gods and no master, and they didn't know what to do. One of them may be the patient's wife, another is supposed to be the mother, and the other is a more immature-looking ...... It should be a daughter.
There is an age gap between the three of them, but they look almost young, and they can't tell the age at all.
Noah has had zero mortality for so many years, why did the disaster suddenly come to her family?! How is it possible not to cry!
And because of the confidentiality agreement, this group of ordinary civilians has no idea that there have been many successful examples of auxiliary brains, and they don't believe in this kind of fantasy technology.
In the end, Yu Yifeng arrived in a hurry, he looked at the chaos outside and inside, frowned and said, "You also know what the situation is." The head was flattened, and he would have died long before he was replaced! ”
"This is the last way, and it's hard to say whether people can be saved...... But if you don't have surgery right away, you're going to die! ”
Under the credibility of the leader, the patient's wife signed her name on the operation sheet in a daze.
Well, even if you don't sign it, the operation has already been underway. This is both a necessary process and a little psychological comfort for them.
The severe damage to the brain has brought a high degree of repair complexity, but fortunately, over the years, people have gradually figured out the function of the brain. A special agent reactivates stem cells, allowing adults to regrow neurons just like babies.
Of course, in this, nano-worm transformation technology is also used, and part of the position is siliconized, and man and machine will be organically combined.
The entire operation took a total of 36 hours, and then the group of experts came out exhausted......
……
A few days later.
Zhang Ruien suddenly opened his eyes, and his head was in a state of mush......
"Zhang Ruien" is the specific name of this critically ill patient, and he is also a scientific and technological worker in the field of electromagnetic weapons.
His eyes were staring straight at the ceiling, twitching from time to time, as if rolling his eyes. This state seems to be just a brain that has awakened, but it has not come back to life, except for a few occasional blinks of his eyes, he has no stress response and no self-awareness.
The response speed of the medical robot is very fast, and the awakening report is automatically submitted as soon as possible.
Soon, a group of medical workers walked into the room lightly, and they were not particularly surprised to see Zhang Ruien's awakening.
They operated the surrounding instruments at the first time and started various tests.
This patient, named "Zhang Ruien", is now quite terrifying, with only a sleek head, soaked in some kind of light blue "nutrient solution", various catheters inserted into the skull, and some mechanical parts faintly exposed under the neck.
Under the head...... There is no body.
In this skull, except for some original brain cells, the rest of the skull is completely artificial.
Because of this, even Zhang Ruien's family members are not allowed to enter this intensive sterile ward. After all, most of the ordinary people are appearance associations, and they will probably be scared half to death when they see a lonely head with various tubes inserted.
This kind of inspection lasted for a total of half an hour, and Zhang Ruien was still staring at the ceiling stupidly, rolling his eyes, like a fool robot.
There was no movement other than an instinctive wink......
He doesn't have lungs at all, he can't even breathe. However, according to the computer equipment, his "brain stem" is always active, and it seems that he wants to complete the respiratory response.
Quietly in the room, more than a dozen experts were busy in an orderly manner, column after column of data, analyzing and comparing.
At this time, Yu Yifeng also heard about this and quietly walked in. He was wearing a sterile isolation suit, lightly.
Yu Yifeng stared at this head for a long time, and frowned slightly when he saw him rolling his eyes. This kind of "human head" has been seen a lot over the years, and there is nothing strange about it.
"How? Was the experiment successful? Why do you look so dumbfounded? Didn't the other experiments wake up early? ”
"It's hard to say...... Temporarily in the memory recovery stage. The answer was by biologist Professor Nakamura.
He pointed to the big screen and said, "In previous experiments, the brain was at least complete, but this time it's different." This experiment, for the sake of conservatism, did not use the most advanced technology, but was a relatively safe solution. ”
Yu Yifeng took a closer look, and the distinction was the functional standard pattern of each brain domain. According to his current knowledge, he can barely understand it.
"You see, the simple physiological function is the artificial brain stem is responsible for this part, I just packed the ticket, there must be no problem, the brain stem is responsible for breathing, digestion, heartbeat and other functions. Tested and fully compliant with standards. ”
"Actually, I don't think there is much need for these functions, since you want to use an artificial body, what heartbeat reflexes, etc., you can completely remove them and use an artificial water pump...... Wouldn't it be better? ”
Professor Nakatamura is an advocate of the bionic school in the full sense of the word, advocating the transformation of all useless things in the human body, including the digestive system, circulatory system, and so on.
With the advancement of science and technology, this school of bionic has also become popular in recent years, and they believe that things such as the stomach and small intestine that are not fully evolved can be replaced by an incinerator. The epithelial cells of the small intestine are replaced every 3-6 days, and it is troublesome to die, and it is very easy to get sick, but the incinerator does not have this problem.
You can also use nutrient solution, nanoworms instead of blood, ventilators instead of lungs, and so on......
Well, what the bionic school advocates involves a series of ethical issues, which have not yet been passed by law. The mechanical bionic body in this experiment still clones a large number of human tissues, not purely mechanized.
When Professor Nakatamura saw Yu Yifeng, he explained in great detail: "Our current auxiliary brain only has a simple physiological system, and does not have a complete dominant logic system, which can assist people in thinking, but cannot lead people's thinking. After all, we have not yet figured out the boundaries of human logic, and blindly designing one will only limit people's creative ability. ”
"The logic side has to rely on the primitive brain to execute the ......"
"In addition, we have installed an electronic eye and a mechanical nose for him, so he will be more sensitive to perception. However, all of these features can be turned off. ”
"Okay, you say, can people wake up at all?" Yu Yifeng asked directly. He saw that the head was still so stupid, and he thought of the scene of the group of family members crying and shouting, and his heart was slightly anxious.
This incident, under the coverage of the media, has even aroused heated discussions among the broad masses of the people. If such a serious injury can be recovered, there is no doubt that the encouragement to the people is very great. But if it fails, it's not a small blow.
The original security check procedures are being fully investigated. It's not terrible to have bugs in the system, as long as you find out and then prescribe the right medicine, that's it.
Professor Nakatamura shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, the patient's hippocampus has suffered a series of damage, and after the brain is repaired, the memory is lost. Now it depends on whether the patient's memory can form an effective self-logic. Otherwise, you have to clear your memory and learn again like a child, isn't this a different person......"
"Clear your memory? What happens if you don't form your own logic and clear your memory? Yu Yifeng asked with a frown.
Nakatamura spread his hands: "Will become a fool." If you think about it, you have a bunch of useless stuff stuffed in your head, and you can't connect them in series, what is the difference between it and garbage. If there is no human self-logic, one can only be like an animal, only instinct...... Maybe not even instinct. ”
"In this way, it is better to clear your memory and learn again."
"Okay...... I'm still not sure. ”
Yu Yifeng nodded, and after understanding the specific situation, he could only turn around and walk out of the intensive care room.
After meeting with the patient's family, he selectively relayed some of this information. Anyway, right now, the operation didn't succeed, but it didn't fail either, and people can only do the best they can......
Time passed day by day.
In Zhang Ruien's mind, various memory fragments jumped around randomly.
One moment it was the form of a child playing, the next it was the scene of the explosion of the earth, and the next it was the mining of the Nyx Star. Anyway, there are all kinds of memories from childhood to adulthood, many of which are blurred, and some of which are relatively clear.
These memories must be connected by a logical thread, otherwise they are just mere fragments and cannot form a real personality.
Maybe it's because of the tenacity of life instincts, or maybe it's because of the skill of the new human experts, or maybe it's because of the role of the auxiliary brain...... I don't know how long it took, but this part of the memory fragment was finally slowly sorted out.
Zhang Ruien's brain activity is getting stronger and stronger, and the brain waves are becoming clearer and clearer.
"I ......"
"Dead?"
He remembered!
He remembered the last second before the explosion!
A series of brainwave data went from flat to violently shaking. The moment he regained consciousness, a large group of scientists rushed like rabbits to the intensive care unit.
At the head of the list are the two professors Roman and Nakatamura, who are simply beaming, smoking, and can't be more joyful!
A few even trembled with excitement...... What does this mean?
"More than just a human ......"
"Or ...... The crossing of weak barriers?! ”
This technology has been successfully rolled out to new humans. How could they not be excited, not joyful!
Soon someone called Yu Yifeng and reported the incident. "What?" Yu Yifeng immediately put down his work in the office and hurried to the hospital.
Of course, the final result remains to be verified, whether Zhang Ruien has become smart and normal, remains to be investigated.
"I ......" When he saw such a large wave of people, Zhang Ruien wanted to speak, but found that he was soaked in a light blue liquid, and he was just opening his mouth at all.
This is because he only has one head, and he doesn't even have a trachea, so he can't make a sound.
"Don't panic, we've got your brain repaired, but you haven't installed your body yet. What you want to say in your head can be fed back directly on the computer screen. A young professor said in a gentle voice.
