Minke's black technology

Chapter 389 Brain Chip
The "virtual data world" can't be built right away. Besides not doing it blatantly, the three sisters still have a lot of things to do.

They are Li Maoye's assistant angels in name, and they need to help the master deal with all kinds of things in the laboratory. They finally get Xie Linger out of all kinds of tedious affairs. Someone has to make a decision.

As for the data uploaded by the Angels of Paradise, all of them are stored in the underground base server. After the "virtual data world" is built, it can be put into it together with other intelligent machines, and continue to evolve into intelligent life.

This time the Puppet King incident completely destroyed the black market of computer angels. Although many users who had no money to buy angels complained about this, most people think that this approach is commendable. After all, no matter how those second-hand users defend themselves , none of them can profit at the expense of violating the law.

In addition, under the stimulation of the parasitic alien scorpion technology, Meow Xing Lab has made a breakthrough in the technology of artificial organs, and the artificial replacement of human brain cells has achieved phased results!

Prior to this, the Meow Xing Lab had conducted experiments on the combination of carbon nanomachines and brain cells on rhesus monkeys. It had replaced about one-third of the monkey brain with carbon nanobrain cells transformed from the monkey's own stem cells. The experimental results Everything was normal, and the monkey continued to live without any abnormalities.

But when it was the turn of the human experiment, the researchers found that this practice is likely to cause memory loss. When more than one-fifth of the brain of the experimental subject is replaced, it will cause some past memories to be completely forgotten, and may even affect the human body. Loss of proficiency.

For example, a certain experimental subject used to be a gymnast, who was unable to move his whole body due to frostbite, and then accepted the brain repair experiment of Meow Xing Laboratory, and replaced about half of the brain cells with carbon nano-brain cells. It turned out that during the course of the experiment, it was discovered that the memory of the gymnasts malfunctioned.

The person is still the same person, but his memory has faults. After testing, it was found that the subject lost all the memories before the age of 20, and then even the gymnastics he used to do, even if his body fully recovered. , and cannot perform previous actions.

"It seems that brain cell replacement surgery is still very risky!" After learning the results of this experiment, Li Maoye suggested that they consider other methods, which can not only preserve the original memory, but also achieve the renewal of brain cells.

"Our human brain cells cannot be replaced too quickly, there must be a gradual process, so that the memory information of the old cells can be transferred to the new cells!"

So the Meow Star Lab used rhesus monkeys to conduct experiments again. This time, the method was similar to the previous experiments, but the entire experiment time was extended to ten times, and the monkey brains were replaced little by little. When the old and new cells were connected to each other After coming together, an electrical signal is generated between them immediately.

According to the detection of instruments and equipment, the new carbon nanobrain cells did acquire memory from the old brain cells in the process of replacing the old ones.

This discovery shocked the researchers. Although they could not understand the principle of the process, it would undoubtedly make a big step forward in human understanding of the brain.

More importantly, once this technology is put into practical use, the lifespan of human beings will definitely break through the biological limit, which will have a very large impact on the social structure, and may even affect the family structure that constitutes the basic unit of society.

"Just imagine, if the human lifespan breaks through two or three hundred years, I'm afraid everyone won't get married and have children? Otherwise, how many families and children will a person have in his life? For the new generation who advocates hedonism, getting married is simply impossible. It's fixed-term imprisonment!" Zhou Lin said in private.

I'm afraid he is very worried that the bald man will come up with this technology without saying a word. Let alone the family, I am afraid that even the state of the country will have to change for this.

Will the Celestial Dragons show up?

Will there be a longevity class in human beings?
All of these are unknowns, and the unknown is scary. Even if Zhou Lin thinks he is very courageous, he is afraid of the emergence of black technology that can subvert the existing world.

Because the impact of brain carbon nanotechnology is so great, another technology that is also very important has been neglected, which is brain chip technology!
So far, the technology of implanting carbon nanochips in the brain has been very mature, and the experimental chip has solved the problem of chip energy and the problem of seamless connection between the chip and the brain.

After these two major problems are solved, it can basically be said that human beings have gone further and further on the cyborg road, and even a person with gradual freezing was cured by this technology.

This gradually frozen man is a citizen of the Bald Eagle. He is only 22 years old this year. He was originally a player in the NFL professional league, and he is also a famous quarterback star player.

It's a pity that he, who is as strong as a cow, unfortunately suffered from gradual frostbite. When he discovered the problem, it was already very serious, so that in just one year, he changed from a player who ran all over the field to a vegetable with hemiplegia.

When Meow Star researchers were conducting brain chip experiments, they found that this technology may have a good effect on ALS. Although these researchers did not understand the pathogenesis of ALS, they observed Under the stimulation of the brain chip, the brain cells and nerve cells of the gradually frozen person showed signs of improvement, and even the brain chip could replace part of the brain's functions.

In this case, the researchers wanted to find a person with ALS to conduct the test. As a result, the quarterback star named Brady not only successfully signed up to participate in the test, but also jumped in line to other people through the relationship of the Western Medicine Consortium. Come ahead and be one of the first to perform experimental surgery.

Brady is not the kind of foolhardy person. Before signing up for the test, he had already consulted relevant experts and learned that the Meow Star Laboratory had at least three ways to cure his ALS.

The first is of course cyborgization. As long as the body is replaced with an artificial mechanical body, the problems caused by frostbite will naturally be solved, and it will also have a longer lifespan and a stronger body than ordinary people.

But in this way, he is naturally no longer a football star, no one wants to see an unfair game, and there is no cyborgized human game yet.

The second method is to replace the brain with a carbon nano-brain. This method is likely to lose part of the memory. Even if the experiment is fine on monkeys, it is still a relatively high-risk brain surgery for humans.

The third type is somewhat similar to the second type, but it’s just implanting a chip in the brain. Relatively speaking, the risk is naturally much lower, and now the NFL league has no relevant regulations on whether players can be implanted with a brain chip, which belongs to a gray area. Things, maybe he can not only heal his body, but also return to the court and continue to be a big star.

After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, Brady decided to adopt the third treatment option, because the brain chip technology is quite mature, and even if it cannot treat ALS, it will not make the physical condition worse.

After confirming his choice, Brady immediately used his personal connections to find the boss of the pharmaceutical consortium, and through this boss, he got the opportunity to participate in human experiments in the Meow Star Laboratory.

On the day of the experiment, Brady came to the laboratory of New York Central Hospital, where the brain chip implantation operation was carried out. Because the operation had entered the stage of clinical trials, the degree of confidentiality was not as high as when it was developed, so many clinical trials The principle of proximity is basically adopted.

Brady was pushed into the operating room by the medical staff in a wheelchair. There was only a surgical recliner in it, which allowed the patient to half-ly lie on it to receive the transplant operation, so that it looked a bit like a dentist's operating room.

"Don't you need an anesthetic injection?" Brady smiled palely.

The medical staff did not answer this question, but the doctor standing beside the surgical couch replied: "The operation itself can block the pain, so yes, there is no need for it!"

Brady nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he looked around and found that there was only a reclining chair in the operating room, without any surgical instruments and tools, but he didn't know how the doctors and nurses planned to perform the brain chip implantation operation.

Then he felt that besides the doctors and nurses in this room, there were other people staring at him, but no camera was found in the room, maybe it was deliberately hidden, and it was even possible that the wall facing him was One way glass.

Just as Brady was distracted by his thoughts, suddenly the nurse lifted him into the recliner, and then fixed his body with straps.

Is this about to start surgery?

Brady suddenly became short of breath, and his mood became much more tense, for fear that the doctor would suddenly pull out a laser scalpel, cut open his skull, and insert a chip into it.

In fact, before he even noticed, the operation had already begun.

After Brady lay down, the surgeon started the transplant procedure. A long probe popped out from the surgical couch. The needle was as thick as a toothpick. It pierced Brady's jaw very precisely under the control of the procedure.

Because the probe is relatively thin, Brady only felt pain when it pierced the skin a few millimeters deep, but it was like being bitten by a mosquito, and it quickly became numb.

At this time, Brady was surprised to find that even if he wanted to turn his head or speak, he couldn't do it, because at the moment when the probe pierced his body, the carbon nanomachine still blocked his nervous system, so that he could only watch helplessly. Watching the probe stretch out longer and longer, directly into the depths of the brain, but I don't feel it at all...
