Chapter 55: The Miracle of Life
How to repair the human body has always been a difficult problem that the medical community is committed to solving, and in the past few hundred years, scientists have come to many conclusions, such as if a human child breaks off a finger, there is a way to grow it back; Human stem cells divide indefinitely, thus transforming into tissues, organs, and organs of any part of the body...
However, the problem of repairing the body itself is still a blank field that no one can solve.
Therefore, after amputation, people have to choose to install prosthetics, the most advanced prosthetic technology uses excellent biophase materials, as well as nerve conduction technology, there are ways for humans to re-swing limbs, and even play a simple walking, running, grasping function.
And the organs are similar, human beings make hearts, eyeballs to solve the patient's problems, and there is another way to carry out organ transplantation, after solving the problem of rejection, the prospect of organ transplantation is broad.
And Cao Chuan definitely doesn't want his employees to choose the above methods to face their future lives, after all, he can see the future development of technology, repairing the body is no longer so far away for human beings, and why should he choose the technology that will be eliminated?
There are two paths in front of him to repair the body, one is to clone the organs, find a way to use the samples at hand, make two new thighs in the culture tank, and then take them back.
Another path is to stimulate cells, so that humans have the self-healing ability of geckos and starfish, and through slow growth, combined with nutrition, employees can also be intact.
"In any case, if you do a scale simulation first, even if it fails, because there are a lot of techniques involved in body repair, solving a few at random will will be helpful for solving cloning problems, brain transplantation problems, and cell directed differentiation techniques..."
The rule simulation took 2 days and 15 hours, and then Cao Chuan mastered the technical solutions of the two roads, and mastered the advantages and disadvantages between the two.
For example, in the case of cloning solutions, there is severe pain during surgery, and after the repair is completed, there will be hidden dangers left in the limb that is surgically joined.
The problem with cell stimulation is that it will lead to an increase in metabolism and a decrease in the upper limit of cell divisions, in other words, since the upper limit of cell divisions in the human body is 50 generations, this will lead to a shortening of one's own lifespan.
After mastering the above two technologies, he is not far from human cloning, gene repair, life extension and other technologies, as long as it takes a little more time, he can solve it with one bone and brain, and then produce a chain reaction.
For example, he can clone humans in batches, but unfortunately the manpower gap in Moon City is not big for the time being, and coupled with potential ethical issues, he can only go deeper and put it aside.
Then there is genetic repair, because there is no genetic disease that has to be solved, unless the cost of repair is extremely low, even if the technology comes out, it will always be the power of a few.
It's a good thing to extend the lifespan, find a way to make the cell divide more than 50 generations, and he will easily have a lifespan of 200 or 300 years, but unfortunately, it has not been used in recent years.
Cao Chuan planned to get Nana a body, although she also expressed a strong interest, if she was allowed to stay in the body of an ordinary woman, it was unacceptable for her. And if you want Nana to have the perfect body she set for herself, according to the current technology, she has to push back at least 200 years, and then go through a few stages of rule simulation to have a chance to achieve.
The rules simulation came to an end for the time being, and he went to the bed of the injured employee named Ruhl, who had woken up these days, and from time to time an employee he knew sent flowers, and Dr. Charles took great care of him, but his legs were still lost and could not be recovered.
He looked a little depressed, and sat quietly for a long time.
In the face of the darkest days of life, it is normal for normal people to have this kind of performance, but on the contrary, there is no master of psychology within the East Galaxy Company for the time being, even if it is the psychology studied by Cao Chuan, it is not for the treatment service, fortunately today he brought something more special. "Pick one." Coming to Ruhr, Cao Chuan demonstrated the two techniques, and Dr. Charles stood next to him, watching intently, wanting to see what Mr. Consultant had to demonstrate.
Slowly, Dr. Charles' face grew more serious, and he saw a technology that could change the world.
"Body Repair Techniques... And it's almost perfect! Dr. Charles watched Mr. Consultant's presentation, and the explanations of the specific theories were rather sketchy, and as a doctor, he could tell the truth from the false.
Ruhl hesitated, and then he thought that Mr. Advisor had a way to give him a chance to be born again, could it be that the East Galaxy Company was really a blessing for them?
"Ruhl, hurry up and choose, you want to recover quickly!" Charles encouraged from the sidelines.
Ruhl had a struggling expression on his face, his mind was constantly fighting, after thinking about it, he still chose the second option, he was still young, and if he dragged his two hidden legs, he would say goodbye to the exploration department completely in this life.
"Since you choose the second option, I will use a special cell stimulation therapy to awaken the cellular vitality of your leg tissues."
After Cao Chuan solemnly explained all the precautions, he started his own work.
"Mr. Advisor, may I ask if I will be able to learn this technique?" Dr. Charles showed a strong interest, and in fact, he was a general pediatrician on Earth and was quite experienced in dealing with his own affairs, but he was a little overstretched by the fact that he was a general pediatrician on Earth, and even involved a large number of cutting-edge biological theories.
"Yes, but you have to go through the learning device for further study, as for the technology, I think you should understand that it is still only a preliminary solution to the difficulties of body repair, and there is a considerable distance from popularization, but if you are interested, you can first experiment and explore within the East Galaxy Company."
This is Cao Chuan's philosophy, they are not so strong now, and they will not do anything for all mankind nobly, but there is no problem in serving the East Galaxy Company, because this is what they can do, and at the same time, it is what they need.
The course of treatment begins, the process lasts at least 3 months, the first is stimulation, and when the amputated site produces numbness and itching, and the cell activity reaches about 10 times the normal, you have to sit in a large nutrient tank, otherwise, the substances and energy obtained by food intake alone are not enough to meet the consumption of body repair.
Later, two kinds of drugs must be injected into the nutrient tank at all times, one is an inhibitor to inhibit the messing of scarred cells, and the other is a nutrient, which contains rich calcium, iron, protein, etc. for the consumption of cell division.
At first, the legs will be extremely ugly with two balls of flesh, but as the number of cells accumulates and differentiates more obviously, the balls of flesh will lengthen and become a "limb" half a meter long and only the thickness of a human arm.
Unlike a fully developed limb, the limb of a newborn baby will continue to grow longer and thicker, and through the continuous self-metabolic renewal of cells, it will have hard bones and muscles.
When the cells receive the command of the brain, the limbs have grown completely, and there will be no further proliferation, at this moment, the process of body repair is completely completed, and after about a month of recuperation, you can almost be discharged from the hospital.
However, when the injured patient had just grown two legs, the busy Cao Chuan threw his hands and left, leaving Dr. Charles to take care of and study until Ruhl fully recovered.
