Chapter 1025: Surgery at the Nano-Level
I have to say that seeing a puff of smoke-like things, drilling into Zhang Chenglong's nostrils, it is easy to remind people of some more mysterious things, for example, the methods of evil demons.
But in this way, Han Ya felt that there was nothing to look at, after all, this situation that drilled into people's minds, there was no equipment to monitor, how could it be possible to feel it as if it was there?
As soon as Han Ya said this, Lin Xiao nodded and responded, "Don't worry, the model is being built now, and you can see the specific situation inside in a while." ”
That is, when he was speaking, the large LCD screen on the side wall suddenly lit up, but it clearly displayed the situation inside the entire brain.
"How is this possible?" Han Ya couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it.
"What's impossible?" Lin Xiao smiled when he heard this, "You underestimate the ability of mimic metal, after this thing is programmed, there are many things that can be done, including real-time monitoring and modeling, sending wireless signals to the outside world, etc., the graphics we see now are the specific structure inside Zhang Chenglin's brain, and now those cloud-like mimic metals have become nano clouds, deep into the inside of his brain cells, and they are very evenly distributed, if not, we can't see so clearly." ”
"It's unheard of." When Han Ya heard this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Following Lin Xiao, he really has a lot of great insight.
It's just that Han Ya also noticed that it seems that the image on this LCD screen is not clear, and some ghosting appears, which is a fly in the ointment.
"Ha, how could such a low-level mistake happen?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately laughed, and he handed a pair of glasses to Han Ya, "With these eyes, the image we see should be a 3D stereoscopic image, so it will be more convenient for us to make a judgment later." ”
"It's convincing you." Han Ya said this before putting on her eyes.
At this time, the figure seen through the eyes is indeed a two-meter-square brain model, and it is also a 3D stereoscopic image, the translucent kind, through this thing, the observer can clearly see the internal structure of the entire brain, vividly, clearly.
What's even more strange is that the tumor tissues in Zhang Chenglin's brain are also clearly marked one by one at this time.
"How did you do this?" Han Ya asked with some surprise.
"Well, this is also simple, as long as it is tumor tissue, there is a difference between the temperature and normal tissue, so it is easy to be able to judge, which is also an easy thing for mimic metals." Lin Xiao explained, "Now we just mark all the tumor tissues in it, and then remove it, and then we have done this, and then we have to get these things out, and then, we are waiting for recovery." ”
"Speaking of which, in fact, the principle is quite simple, but it is too difficult to implement, and it seems that this mimic metal is really useful, just like the envisioned nanorobot." Han Ya said with some emotion.
In fact, the nanobots in scientists' minds are just that.
It may not be long before nanobots, which are only the size of molecules, will continue to enter the daily life of human beings.
They will make diamonds, ships, shoes, steaks, and more robots for humanity, and all they need to do is activate a pre-set program if they stop working.
On the surface, the idea is almost inconceivable: a single technology could cure diseases, slow aging, clean up toxic waste, expand the world's food supply, build roads, build cars, and build buildings in the early stages of application, but these are not fantastical and may be possible by the middle of this century.
Research projects around the world are looking for ways to turn these ideas into reality, and the United States has announced the creation of a national nanoresearch institute to provide more than $5 billion to try to do so.
In fact, the term nanotechnology has been around for a long time.
Richard Feynman, the most controversial and greatest theoretical physicist after Einstein, proposed in a lecture entitled "There is a Lot of Space at the Bottom of Matter" in 1959: In the future, it is possible for human beings to build a miniature device of molecular size, which can use molecules or even individual atoms as building blocks to construct matter in a very small space, which means that human beings can make anything in the lowest space, and it is the goal of chemists and biologists to change and organize molecules from molecules and atoms. This will make the production process very simple, you can simply recombine the large number of molecules you have obtained to form useful objects.
In fact, every cell is a living example of nanotechnology applications that not only convert fuel into energy, but also build and activate proteins and enzymes based on the information stored in DNA, and by recombining the DNA of different species, genetic engineers have learned to build new such nanotools, such as using bacterial cells to produce medical hormones.
According to the principle of molecular pathology, scientists can develop a variety of nanorobots that can enter the microscopic world of the human body and walk, which is expected to be used to remove harmful substances, repair damaged genes, activate cellular energy, maintain human health and prolong human life.
At present, medical nanorobots are still in the experimental stage, ranging from millimeters in length to microns in diameter, but it is certain that nanorobots will enter human life in the next year, which is undoubtedly a thing.
In particular, medical nanorobots have unlimited potential, such as treating atherosclerosis, anti-cancer, removing blood clots, cleaning wounds, helping blood clotting, removing parasites, treating gout, crushing kidney stones, artificial insemination and activating cellular energy, so that people can not only stay healthy, but also prolong their lives.
"It sounds really good, and we're kind of early into the nano era." Han Ya looked at the graphics on the big screen and said to Lin Xiao with a smile, "By the way, what are you going to do next?" ”
"The next thing will take some time, after all, it will take some time for the mimic metal to kill these tumor cells, but this is all a programme, and now that the scope is delineated, we just need to sit next to it and have a cup of coffee and wait for them to complete the task." Lin Xiao glanced at the graphics displayed on the big screen and said to Han Ya.
The working procedures of mimic metals have been programmed at the beginning, they will distinguish tumor cells, and then delineate strict boundaries, first cut off the connection between normal tissues and tumor tissues to ensure that there is no danger of spreading, and then use heating to kill tumor cells, and then find a way to remove these waste products from the body through special means through blood output.
Once this process is over, it means that the whole surgical process is over, and all that remains is to see how well the patient can recover on his own.
However, in order to ensure that Zhang Chenglin did not have problems, Lin Xiao not only monitored his brain, but also separated a part of the mimic metal and entered his heart to see if there was any problem.
Lin Xiao and Han Ya stayed here for more than two hours, and finally the lesion area marked on the big screen was getting smaller and smaller, and finally it was completed.
“ok! Now it's all left to drain the problematic organization! Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then took a tube and connected it to one of Zhang Chenglin's nostrils, and found a plastic bucket at the other end to spare.
After finishing here, I saw that there was a mixture of dark black blood, which flowed out of Zhang Chenglin's nostrils and flowed into the plastic bucket along the tube, the process was relatively slow, and it took more than half an hour before it was completely cleaned.
At this time, Lin Xiao checked Zhang Chenglin's brain state again, and found that the tumor tissue had completely disappeared, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, "It's really good, this thing has a great effect, it's convenient!" ”
Han Ya was even more eye-opening on the side, she was now imagining that if nanobots could really be applied in the future, most of the diseases and health problems that plagued the human body would no longer be a problem, and the arrival of this day did not seem to be invisible.
Perhaps, as the previous scientists envisioned, this application will be possible by the middle of this century.
At that time, the life expectancy of human beings will be extended to 150 or even 200 years old, which should not be a big problem, especially the quality of human life, which will be significantly improved, and the problems of birth, old age, sickness and death will be solved at least half.
Of course, this is still a bit far from the way of life of the Clox people Niya who can abandon their bodies and survive only by relying on their spiritual bodies, and it will take a long, long time and a lot of effort for humans to get to that point.
After all this was dealt with, Lin Xiao began to contact Zhang Chenglin's hypnotic state and eliminated the effect of acupuncture anesthesia, so that after a few minutes, Zhang Chenglin finally came to his senses.
"Hey, why did I fall asleep before I knew it?" Zhang Chenglin felt a little inexplicable, and found that he was lying on the operating table, completely different from the appearance of being stripped naked and put on a surgical gown as he had expected, and there didn't seem to be any life support system around, not even an electrocardiograph, let alone any knives, scissors and hemostats.
It's just an operating room, nothing else is seen.
"Congratulations Zhang Ji, your surgery has been completed, how do you feel different now?" At this time, Lin Xiao next to him asked with a smile.
"What, the surgery has already been done?!" Zhang Chenglin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
