Chapter 2 Skeletal Muscle Construction

In fact, at the beginning of the operation, the artificial muscle fiber printer and artificial muscle fiber weaving machine have been on the side to carry out muscle reconstruction work, which is the most special point of Linde and Tony's plan for this operation. Normally, artificial muscle fibers are only used for local muscle injury repair, and the construction of the entire muscle structure in clinical practice has not been done in the more than 20 years since the medical system was launched. This is not because of the underlying principles of the law or the system, but when the whole set of skeletal muscle structure is completed, it is almost useless, because the muscle needs the complete combination of capillaries and nervous system to work, and it also needs a very complex musculoskeletal link system, so usually, the muscle repair program is to extract the patient's stem cell DNA and RNA, and then graft it onto the RNA of the bacteria, and obtain the localization culture, so as to obtain almost the same muscle nerve components as the affected area. This component is attached to the affected area. Today's situation is too urgent to wait for the replication of bacteria, and the wound area is too large to perform joint surgery.

Therefore, before entering the fourth step, the artificial muscle fiber knitting machine must complete all the weaving and combination work of muscle building. Thankfully, everything worked together so well when Tony shouted "Yes!" At the same time, the muscle building is just done.

Delin opened his eyes, looked at Tony for a moment, and smiled wryly. Tony also reclined down in his working recliner and closed his eyes. In less than 1 hour, both of them had to rebuild all the nerves and capillaries that are densely packed between the muscle fibers. This can no longer be done manually. They knew before the operation that it would be impossible for them to complete this task, so they reluctantly authorized this part of the work directly to the system.

Speaking of which, the plan is almost crazy. They extract stem cells from the patient's body, and then scan the DNA to simulate the patient's capillary distribution and peripheral nerve distribution. This distribution data is fed into the system, and the system reshapes the skeletal muscle with artificial tissue based on these distributions. And what Delin and Tony need to do, and the system as a whole, must require the doctor to require the least requirement in the operation, is the confirmation of each instruction, just like Delin did in the first three steps. It's just that this time there are so many instructions that need to be confirmed that it is outrageous, which is really what they ignored when formulating the surgical plan.

They were overwhelmed by the limitations of this system, as this part of the work had to be done within an hour, or the artificial muscle fibers exposed to the air would dry out and crack and lose their elasticity. Although they knew that such a confirmation could not be completed in an hour, they really couldn't wait any longer, so they went into the procedure. Both of them lay down in their seats, closed their eyes, and began to confirm each command without a moment's delay. And in order to be accurate, Delin still gives 50 instructions in advance, while Tony can only confirm them one by one.

Once both people are in the program, it seems that all control can only be carried out with the progress of the system. However, when about ten minutes had passed, Delin was almost about to collapse, and in order to rush for time, he quickly confirmed the information, which was close to the limit of human intelligence. So, sweat was already soaking his entire forehead and running down his temples to his back. At the same time, Tony still confirms the correctness of each instruction at his own pace. It's just that he didn't follow the order of instructions arranged by the system to confirm it, but manually looked for data with the same offset for batch confirmation, although the progress of this work was very slow, but fortunately, Delin did not let the equipment idle. To be honest, Delin's confirmation speed is close to the human limit, but it is less than 1% of the design speed for a device.

After another ten minutes, Delin's previously closed brow gradually expanded, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Tony's eyebrows were tighter than they had been ten minutes earlier. At the same time, the device moves nearly 5 times faster than before, but this speed is not stable, sometimes fast, sometimes sluggish.

Tony no longer needs to look for instructions with the same offset parameters, as the system is already able to automatically categorize and automatically send batches to Delin for confirmation. Tony, on the other hand, was manually looking for instructions that could be described as an equal change in parameters. This time, the system adapted faster, and after only 5 minutes, the instructions that could be classified in this way were searched out, and according to the variables of the parameters, they were divided into more than 300 batches and sent to Delin for confirmation at one time. Of course, for Delin, such an order of magnitude confirmation is handy. So constantly, Tony looked for a new batch classification method, Delin did the work of batch confirmation with a sharp heart, and the time passed without mercy Another 20 minutes, and the remaining time was less than ten minutes, all the classification methods that Tony could find were used, and the system also sent the instructions that could be corresponding to similar classification methods to Delin.

However, there are now nearly 150,000 orders waiting to be confirmed. Delin and Tony were almost desperate. However, the system is still sending a steady stream of commands to confirm the two of them, but the instructions are no longer in simple batches, but are described as extremely complex progressions. It took twenty or thirty seconds for Delin and Tony to confirm each message, but their expressions were extremely relaxed until the last second. All the instructions were confirmed, and they were executed by the device.

However, this is only the beginning of the complexity, as this skeletal muscle needs to be combined into the patient's bones to replace the original skeletal muscles that have become blurred in flesh and blood. It's not just a matter of connecting the muscles through the collagen fiber bundles, but also the original blood vessels and nerves. It's almost another process of pushing the limits. It's challenging, but right now, there's no room for Delin and Tony to take a break.

It seems that it is a good choice to leave the neural and vascular structures simulated by stem cells to the system, but in fact, the growth of the human body will not be so ideally set up by genes, such as some diseases, some trauma will cause local growth variations, even if only the intake of nutrients is different, it will also cause actual differences. So when a set of muscles designed by theoretical values is to be combined with the actual growth of bones, this difference is the biggest challenge in the implementation of the operation, and it is also the most risky part of the whole surgical plan, but it is also the limit of medical treatment, at least Delin and Tony think.

Medicine is about healing a being, not creating a person.

Therefore, in the fifth step of bone-bone integration surgery, Linde and Tony need to confirm the specific implementation location of the union to ensure that each combination can achieve the function of pulling the bone and transmitting nerve signals. Although they haven't figured out how to confirm a large number of instruction parameters in half an hour, with the experience just now, they can't care so much about it, so they will confirm it first.

Obviously, this time the system had the command parameters confirmed by Delin and Tony categorized from the start. However, this classification is completely different from the way just now, the classification of muscle capillaries and peripheral nerves is based on the data, even if it is fitted into a series form, it is also the classification of the data itself, and this confirmation is a picture, and it is marked in the picture is the difference in the position of the binding point reserved by the muscle structure and the binding point of the collagen fiber bundle native to the bone, and it is calculated by vector. For Delin, if those differences are within the acceptable range, then these differences need to be confirmed and operated by the equipment; If these differences are too large, manual adjustments will need to be made; If these differences are complex, then manual procedures are required, but these manual procedures are only magnified virtual operations outside the body, and the device is actually implemented on the patient based on these virtual operations.

Delin apparently received a large number of simple instructions for the same position difference at first, and most of them were within the acceptable range, so the whole joint operation, just after the first second, the device went into high-speed mode. At this time, what Tony was doing was to find similar and difficult surgical procedures from the historical surgical records stored in the system, and send them as a reference to Delin for final confirmation. Soon Delin confirmed all the instruction parameters that did not need to be adjusted and only needed to adjust the offset, and began to confirm the surgical plan in batches that could be referred to by historical cases. This process is relatively slow, but after all, there are a complete set of successful cases, and in the past 8 years of data review, Delin knows these cases well, so it only takes about 10 minutes to confirm that 85% of the instructions and parameters of the whole set of joint surgery have been completed.

The remaining 15% is the hardest part. If the speed of Delin's surgery was followed, even with the help of augmented reality technology, it would have taken 5 hours. However, if this happens, the operation is declared a failure. The system didn't give any more prompts, just blindly asking to confirm the surgical plan, Delin and Tony opened their eyes and looked at each other, and they seemed to notice that each other's beards had grown a lot......
