Minke's black technology

Chapter 334 Limb Regeneration
Zhou Lin is now inundated with various application letters.

E-mails and letters and parcels in the office are piled up with requests from the world's medical associations, and electronic eyeballs have brought angelic gospel to the vast number of blind people all over the world.

Carbon nanoartificial eyeballs only account for a very small part of human cyborgization operations, but they still have a large market, and the Meow Star Group has no secrets, and everyone who should know will soon know.

This also means a lot of money. In terms of its cost, the small size of the electronic eyeball is not high, but the depreciation cost of the high-precision surgical machines required for the operation is relatively high. However, there are alternatives to this surgical robot, which is really not possible. Simply let someone do this kind of precision surgery, if you are not afraid of a decrease in the success rate of the operation.

Only counting the carbon nanomachines and other surgical equipment consumed, this cost is much cheaper than other artificial organs, but its importance is not low at all. I believe that many people would rather use the original five internal organs with defects than Willingness to lose normal vision.

Li Maoye, as one of the insiders, knows that the cost of this set of surgery is at most 5 yuan. After all, the cost of a single electronic eyeball is only a little over 3 yuan, and the cost of the operation is only more than [-] yuan. All costs are taken into consideration.

However, the final market price may be several times higher. The relevant departments suggest that the price of transplanting an eyeball should not be lower than 20 yuan, because the price is too low and it will easily lead to waste.

"90.00% of the normal surgery fee will be reimbursed. If it is for those who have nothing to do with digging out their eyes for fun, they have to pay for it themselves!" A person from the relevant department explained.

This kind of consideration is reasonable. After all, with the improvement of cloning technology, it will definitely be possible to exchange artificial eyeballs and cloned eyeballs in the future. If everyone thinks that the cost of eye replacement is too low, maybe they will use artificial eyeballs today and tomorrow. Use cloned eyeballs.

Human social behaviorists also believe that there is such a possibility, and even if it cannot be exchanged for cloned eyeballs, someone will definitely try to do so.

In addition to the normal vision function, the artificial eyeball also has night vision, VR display and long-distance focusing functions, etc. It is much more convenient to use than the real eyeball, and there will be no fatigue caused by excessive use of the eyes.

After evaluation, experts believe that there are probably many technological trendsetters who will find ways to install an artificial eyeball, regardless of whether they have vision problems or not.

Of course, the Meow Star Group has no objection to this, and they have a cooperation agreement with the Western Medicine Consortium. If domestic artificial organs are sold too cheaply, the Meow Star Group will have to bear the pressure from foreign people. After all, if the food is too ugly , you have to cover it up a little bit.

"Those unscrupulous guys must dare to ask for 50 US dollars for one..." Li Maoye estimated that the current depreciation of the US dollar has made the rabbit's products much more expensive.

For matters that involve the vital interests of the people, the relevant departments are not slow to move. When they learned that the Meow Star Laboratory needed people who were born blind to do human experiments, they immediately rushed to the volunteers from the Western Medicine Consortium and screened them out. Ten blind individuals were selected for the laboratory.

In the end, Qin Hua chose a blind person who was born without vision, and his eyeballs were extremely incomplete, and he was born blind with extreme deformities.

According to the test results, the visual nerve of this born blind man is almost non-existent. If the artificial eyeball surgery can bring him light, then other blind people will certainly be no problem.

The combination of carbon nanomachines and stem cells, which can grow into nerve cells and connect with brain nerves, is still being gradually explored. Stimulating the growth and differentiation of stem cells is no longer a problem. Experiments have proved that stem cells can become various organs of the human body Tissue cells, but whether the nerve cells can function after being connected is not sure.

However, the final result of the operation was very good. According to the news obtained by Li Maoye, the man who was born blind was able to see the outside world immediately after the artificial eye transplant operation. Although this was the first time he experienced the vision of the bright world, his brain It is not therefore unrecognizable.

The blind man was crying, his expression was extremely agitated, and the newly repaired eye glands shed tears that he had never seen in his life. Because of the difficulty in calming down, the tears kept flowing.

In the end, even the experts began to worry a little, for fear that this guy would not be able to bear it physically, and thought he would cry until he had a myocardial infarction, so he transplanted a second artificial heart to prevent the happy event from turning into a sad one.

This operation proves that the brains of people who are born blind also have the cognitive function of color. Maybe they have never been exposed to the outside world, but as long as there is no problem with the hardware conditions, the software functions in the brain can also work normally, just like the graphics card driver in the computer. The program is already installed as well.

The content of various data analysis is very large, enough for experts to write a series of papers on nerve cells and brain function, and it might be another Nobel Prize.

It’s just that the scientific research circle of flower growers has put aside the nostalgia of the Nobel Prize. With the precedent of rejecting the award by the most powerful technology leader in China, other researchers will not be complacent because of winning the Nobel Prize. Instead, they feel that they are a bit out of group. So even other scientific researchers began to declare that they would not accept the award.

As a result, the gold content of the National Highest Science and Technology Award, the National Natural Science Award, and the National Science and Technology Progress Award have risen sharply. It seems that the Rabbit Ping Pong National Championship Award is more difficult to win than the World Champion Award. I will no longer look up to various foreign awards.

The success of the artificial eyeball experiment has given countless blind people the hope of seeing the light. Unless the brain is damaged and the visual function is lost, there will be no more blind people in this world, provided they have money for transplantation.

Rabbit domestic basically includes this surgery in the scope of medical insurance, together with carbon nano-organs, it is a special medical insurance reimbursement, up to 90% of the cost can be reimbursed, as long as it can be proved that it is not because of self-defeating that the eyes were damaged. If it is a work-related injury, Then there is almost no need for patients to pay for it themselves, and the remaining 10% must be paid by companies or business units.

From the perspective of the ruler, a good medical system is conducive to improving the physical fitness of the people, thereby enabling the people to create more production value, and is conducive to increasing taxation and so on.

Moreover, the artificial eyeball is the cheapest carbon nanoartificial organ, and the operation cost is not too expensive, and the precision surgical robot has a new design, which is enough to reduce the manufacturing cost to the point that every hospital can use it, so This operation is really not expensive in the rabbit country.

Even if the final package price is set at 20 RMB per eyeball, but including the benefits of the national medical insurance policy, it only takes more than 4 RMB to replace both eyeballs. Such a low cost has surprised many blind people, making the family Those who were burdened returned to the workforce.

But it is different in foreign countries. Although the Meow Star Group has not exported surgical robots and electronic eyeballs, those medical consortiums have basically revealed their words through newspapers.

It was higher than Li Maoye expected. The price they offered exceeded 60 US dollars, and after the insurance company covered the operation, the annual cost would be much higher. Even if there was insurance, the insurance company had to follow In the end, the hospital had to pay more than [-] US dollars out of its own pocket.

However, they knew that not many people could afford such a method, so they simply provided a surgery and transplant loan package, which can drain every drop of oil from patients.

Seeing people so skillfully harvesting the people, but being unable to tell the slightest mistake, it is simply amazing. After many people discovered the welfare policy in the rabbit’s country, there was another wave of massive protests, and they were finally dragged Can't get enough of it.

After all, there is nothing illegal about the medical consortium. Even if you make a fuss in front of the judge, you can't find fault. They have the freedom to set prices, and you also have the freedom not to use them. You can't force the hospital just because some people can't afford to pay. Surgical services will be provided after the price is reduced.

A breakthrough has been made in the technology research and development of carbon nanomachines to treat the liver. Originally, liver cells are a type of human organ with a very strong regenerative ability. Therefore, after the combination of stem cells and carbon nanomachines, the diseased liver cells can be cleaned up spontaneously, and new liver cells can be completed at the same time. Cell regeneration.

Therefore, not only problems such as cirrhosis of the liver are solved, but even the liver can be regenerated after the entire liver is removed. It only needs to inject a large amount of carbon nanomachines and stem cell synthesis liquid into it, and then grow into a new liver in a very short time organ.

If there is a second set of liver that is responsible for detoxification of the body during this period, it does not even need treatment, as long as it can solve the bleeding in the body, it will be fine, and you can wait for it to grow out on its own.

"In other words, human liver injury is not a big problem!" Li Maoye concluded.

Of course, the biggest goal of the Meow Star Laboratory is the regeneration of human cells and tissues, or limb regeneration technology, etc. The liver problem is only solved smoothly, just as it will happen when it happens.

If one day it is possible to regenerate hands, feet or other organs, just like gecko docked tails, then the path of genetic immortality is not much worse than mechanical immortality.

According to the current development trend, these technologies have already begun to see the light of day. However, Meow Star Lab does not plan to announce such related research, but makes a decision after evaluation according to the requirements of relevant departments.

Obviously, limb regeneration technology is of great use in the military, so the requirements of the relevant departments are not excessive.
