Chapter 165: The Scenery of the Left Bank (Part I)

Time passes slowly, and the hard times are always so long. Finally, the huge machine in the corner of the room beeped and the new internal organs were made, and Dr. Taucher walked over to observe the pink organs soaked in the tissue fluid, and nodded, "It's finally over." This machine is the latest from Black Olive Branch, which has not been recognized by the International Committee on Medical Ethics, but it is perfect for this occasion. Surgery begins after an hour, these organs have a relatively short shelf life, and blood vessels and nerves must be connected as soon as possible. โ€

"You have to have a big enough 3D printer that you can use a cell as a base to print a whole person, isn't it?"

"It's not that simple, Miss Panthiel. "Although each cell carries complete genetic information, according to the working principle of 3D printing, the appropriate basic material must be made in the cartridge, that is, the specific cells that make up the various parts of the organ. It is not practical to reproduce the process of cell differentiation from a single cell and create a variety of specific cells unless the original cells of various parts of the human body are directly obtained. In other words, with Mr. Gu Tie's organs as a reference, we can create his new organs. It is not possible to create a human being from a single cell, but to replicate a human being...... It's not that hard. โ€

The Flower of the Rainforest said, "Isn't this the ultimate medicine in medicine? Any disease can be cured by a brain transplant, unless it is a brain disease." If your body is broken, you throw it away, oh my God, it's a scene from a science fiction novel......"

Dr. Tao Xie said with a wry smile: "Let's not mention the sky-high cost of 3D cell printing, taking cancer patients as an example, replacing the body can cure cancer, but human cancer is a dual effect of genetic defects and external triggers. โ€

"However, cancer can be treated by removing the lesion in surgery. Aziwei said.

That is not a cure, but only a delay in death, and in today's advanced human medicine, only cancer cannot be completely cured, and from a theological point of view, this disease is God's punishment in the blood of the descendants of Adam and Eve who fled the Garden of Eden. "Then again, brain transplantation is the most difficult hurdle to overcome in this way of thinking, and so far there have been no successful whole brain transplants in the medical community, only some experiments done by Soviet scientists on monkeys in the last century, and the macaque monkey with a new brain transplant died a week later." It was once thought that the brain center was a special area of immunity and would not produce severe rejection, but the test results proved that this conjecture was wrong, and the rejection reaction appeared in another form, and the brain glial cells could not grow normally and connect with the neurons of the receptors correctly, even if the blood vessels proliferated, the neurological function of the brain could not be restored. โ€

"I didn't understand ......," Aziwei said confusedly.

"To put it simply, it's the brain that rejects the body and doesn't want to work, the brain is a very capricious thing, and no one dares to say that they really understand it. The Black Olive Branch believes that even transplanting a brain into a new bodyโ€”a body that is exactly the same as its own cellsโ€”will not succeed, and the brain will close the door to the senses and kill one's own ......," Dr. Taucher said, shrugging his shoulders helplessly: "But it is possible for the brain to exist independently and think in a limited way, but it is easier to feel without a body?"

This is the end of the conversation, and the surgery begins. Azivi waited quietly outside, and after two hours, Dr. Taucher pushed the door open: "It's going even better than I thought, he's fine." As long as he rests for two weeks and allows the bonds of blood vessels, muscles, fascia and nerves to grow firmly, Mr. Gu Tie can be as alive and lively as before. โ€

โ€œ...... Thank you, doctor. The Flower of the Rainforest was silent for a long time and whispered.

"It's my pleasure. The doctor replied, "Also, if you notice any abnormalities in your body in the future, you should contact Black Olive Branch immediately, and I will answer all questions." โ€

Azivi looked at him puzzled, and Dr. Taucher smiled meaninglessly.

Twenty-eight hours later, Gu Tie woke up. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the viscous and uncomfortable part of his eyeballs was sticky, and he wanted to say something, but the oxygen tube in his mouth pressed his tongue again. He realized that he was soaked in a pale pink liquid, covered with catheters, and not a single muscle could move.

"Stupid, you're alright. Aqiwei's voice sounded, and Gu Tie rolled his eyes in surprise, not seeing where the rainforest flower was. "Listen to me, you've just had a major surgery, and it's a critical period of initial healing, and the doctor has used some muscle relaxants to prevent you from moving around and causing your blood vessels to rupture. You can come out after two days of rest, don't move, don't talk. โ€

Gu Tie made his eyes look hard, and he turned up and down, left and right. "I can't read it, and I'm not going to find you a sight-catching mouse. "Lie down." It's not painful now, is it? You're in perfect health right now. โ€

The pain did disappear, and now I felt tingling and itching, a sign that the capillaries and nerve endings were healing. But what Gu Tie wanted to say was not this, the sentence he wanted to ask was "Where are Eva and her ghost team?" He always felt a little sorry for the blonde little Lori and the partners of the Polish branch, the ghost team was born and died for him, but he couldn't protect them, this sense of powerlessness made Gu Tie feel extremely uncomfortable.

Since he can't think about it, he can only close his eyes and recuperate, this time there is no signal from the quantum network, he can't land in the "world", and he can't return to the Pure Land. Life...... With a sigh, Gu Tie closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

Forty-four hours later, the lid of the survival pod finally opened, and the naked man sat up, eager to remove the catheter from his body. "Don't move! you'll hurt the wall of your esophagus!" the male nurse shouted, pounced on him and held him down, and slowly pulled out the diversion tube, Gu Tie couldn't help retching, covered his heart and shouted, "Aqiwei!"

"I'm here, don't worry, move slowly!

Rainforest Flower said. She was standing right next to the life support pod, dressed in a black turtleneck bodysuit, dark blue jeans, a red beret on her head, silver hair hanging down from her ears, and her fair cheeks flushed with excitement. Gu Tie grabbed her hand, for fear that she would slip out of his palm, and held it tightly, "Are you okay? You're not hurt? It's great......"

"Of course I'm fine, but you have had six heart failures and have been hovering on the line of life and death for three days, stupid!" The woman was very unaccustomed to wanting to withdraw her hand, but as soon as Gu Tie's fingers were forced, she gave up resistance, "The doctor said that from today onwards, you can move freely, but you can't use too much force no matter what you do, do you hear?"

"I know, I know!" the Chinese pouted, turned his head to look, and smiled: "It's Tao Xie! I haven't seen you for a long time, you saved me?"

Doctor Tao Xie bowed and said, "Where, Mr. Gu Tie, this is far from enough to repay you for your help to the Black Olive Branch. โ€

"I would talk about the scene, and I never knew to give me a discount when I bought technical information. Gu Tie smiled, "This is the legendary cell-level 3D printing technology." He looked at the large machinery in the corner.

The doctor replied, "Yes, the surgery went very smoothly and of course there was no rejection." The incision has been closed with a protein zipper, and it will not crack as long as it is not strenuous exercise, and there may be dizziness, reflex vomiting, etc., which are the sequelae of neurosurgery, which will slowly disappear. โ€

Gu Tieyi jumped out of the life-support cabin with all his strength, moving his body, "Well, it's really good, there is a feeling of rebirth." โ€

"Iron. Aziwei reminded.

"Huh?" the Chinese smiled as he turned to her.

"That...... Clothes ......" the Flower of the Rainforest pointed to his lower body.

Chinese grimace smiled and said, "The patient should be naked, Doctor Tao Xie, don't you say? Anyway, who hasn't seen anyone...... When we were in Central Africa, peeping into your bath was the only thing we enjoyed...... By the way, Tao Xie, my implant chip here is fine, if it interferes with the input and output of nerve signals in the medulla oblongata, it will be troublesome. โ€

"Of course, I noticed that you made some changes to the chip, but it was well preserved and unharmed. You entered the 'world' for dozens of hours while in a coma, don't you remember?" said Dr. Tauche.

"Really?" Gu Tie was stunned for a moment, "It's a little vague, I thought it was an illusion caused by pain, so that's ......"

Aziwei threw a suit of clothes at his head and shouted, "Put on your clothes before you talk, you exhibitionist!"

That evening, a small banquet was held in the living room on the third floor of the shipping office, with dishes based on Italian-style olive oil lettuce salad, roasted tomatoes, garlic bread, red sausage, squid ink pasta and Neapolitan pizza, and a modest male nurse prepared a sumptuous table of white wines from northern Italy.

"I don't like the taste of Pinot Noir. Looking at the wine label, Gu Tie complained.

"Your drink is this. Azivi pushed a large glass of the nutrient mixture in front of him, the yellow-green mixture mixed with solid lumps always made people vomit, but it couldn't be better for recovery.

Gu Tie sniffed the cup with a bitter face, "Okay, then I want to make a toast first." โ€

He stood up and raised his glass: "For the sake of sacrificing their comrades on the battlefield, the loyal ghost squad, the blondes from faraway Poland, the stubborn George, the trusty Both, the bitter old Guise, and the clown Terry who resembles me, may their souls be immortalized in heaven." โ€

"How do you know ......" Aziwei was stunned.

"You've been avoiding me since I woke up, and you must have not had time to bring them out. Gu Tie's eyes flashed, "I will bear this guilt and live better for them." Cheers!"
