From all-round academic master to chief scientist

The artificial nerve was suddenly so close, making Lin Xiao feel dumbfounded.

Of course, since CCD-I still cannot directly contact the human body fluid environment, it still needs to include something on the outside, but this time it is not required that the wrapper can conduct electricity, and it must be similar to the resistance of nerves. This time only this is needed Just insulate things.

Lin Xiao quickly thought of something, that is, PEEK, polyetheretherketone. To put it simply, it is a kind of plastic. To put it more advanced, it is a special polymer material.

This material has very good stability and has been used in aerospace and medical fields. The most important thing is that it perfectly meets Lin Xiao's requirements, especially in orthopedics. It has many uses.

Therefore, this problem is solved so easily.

"If you think about it this way, the only remaining problem is how to make CCD-I into fiber."

Lin Xiao suddenly started thinking.

This question is not difficult.

Drawing method, spinning method, cutting method, etc. are all suitable.

Soon, he determined that the cutting method was the most convenient and cheapest.

This is equivalent to scraping it directly with a knife and scraping out thin strands, which can be compared to potato shreds.

The method is very simple.

Of course, the cutting method is only limited to shorter fiber filaments and is not suitable for longer fiber filaments. However, since it is an artificial nerve anyway, there is no need to be very high.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately started contacting people.

"I need medical polyetheretherketone raw materials, just one kilogram, a monkey - oh, no, the biology laboratory has it."

After finishing the instructions, Lin Xiao went directly to the superconducting laboratory.

Although CCD-I is now a top-secret national technology, there are certainly many in his laboratory.

What you need to know is that his original requirements for this superconducting laboratory included the ability to conduct research on large-scale applications of high-temperature and room-temperature superconductors.

And now his superconducting laboratory is the only one in the country that has this function.

For this reason, many studies on room-temperature superconductors are now conducted in his superconducting laboratory.

So this also resulted in many more people in their superconducting laboratory.

For example, 70 to 80 percent of the people who appear to be chatting in the corridor and wearing white coats are from the National Security Bureau.

When Lin Xiao came over, these people from the National Security Bureau glanced at him one after another. When they found out that he was the director, they all called Lin Xiao respectfully.

Lin Xiao nodded to them, then quickly entered the building, and then went directly to the basement.

Room-temperature superconductors used in experiments are basically stored in basements.

Most of the CCD-Is currently produced are stored here.

Lin Xiao took out a shorter one and reported it to the management. Then he went to a materials laboratory, found a knife and started scraping the "potato shreds".

With his control ability, he easily scraped out many filaments.

These filaments are the CCD-I fibers he scraped out.

After final selection, he selected ten.

Next, it’s time to wait for polyetheretherketone.

Of course, before that, he also booked monkeys in the biology laboratory.

The purpose of life science is for human health, so the best experimental subject is obviously human beings. However, it is definitely inhumane to conduct experiments on human bodies. It cannot be ruled out that some countries are doing this kind of thing secretly. However, Frankly speaking, no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world, and monkeys are the most suitable ones, because monkeys and humans are close relatives.

Therefore, this is Lin Xiao's purpose. He wants to try the effect of artificial nerves on monkeys first!

However, it would take some time to order medical polyetheretherketone, so in the next moment, he found a book online called "Basics of Neurosurgery" and "Comprehensive Solution to Monkey Nerves".

…

Time passed quickly, and two days later, the polyether ether ketone that Lin Xiao wanted arrived.

Combining these polyetheretherketones with the CCD-I fibers he scraped out before, extremely thin crude artificial nerves were formed.

Next, Lin Xiao took these things and went to the biology laboratory.

Arriving at the biology laboratory, everyone inside was surprised: "Director Lin, why are you here?"

Why did Lin Xiao come to their biology laboratory?

Could it be that this great master is going to start studying biology?

Lin Xiao simply nodded to them, and then went directly to his laboratory without staying any longer.

Others couldn't help but start talking.

"What is Director Lin doing?"

"Who knows?"

"Calm down, calm down, isn't it said on the Internet that Director Lin is an all-round academic master? It's not surprising that he knows a living thing."

"Hey, isn't the laboratory that Professor Lin entered a live animal laboratory? What is he going to do?"

"Holy shit, the devil knows."

These people were all curious. Could it be that Lin Xiao went to the live animal laboratory to conduct experiments on animals?

…

Amid the curiosity of everyone outside, Lin Xiao entered the laboratory. Because it involved room-temperature superconductors, he could not leak too much.

Similarly, he didn't find help. After all, he couldn't find anyone from the superconducting laboratory. They didn't know how to study biology, and they might feel uncomfortable seeing the monkey bleeding.

In this way, he entered the laboratory alone and locked the door.

Turning around, he saw a cage inside. There was a monkey looking around. After seeing Lin Xiao come in, he moved to the edge of the cage and stared at Lin Xiao.

This kind of monkey is called a cynomolgus monkey, which is a commonly used experimental monkey. It has a relatively docile personality, so it is very suitable for experiments.

Well, it feels a bit like Hou Shan is being bullied.

However, this is scientific research after all, and it is also a helpless move.

Lin Xiao didn't pay too much attention. After changing his equipment, he prepared an anesthetic, then opened the cage, controlled the monkey, and anesthetized its central nervous system.

After waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, the monkey collapsed on the ground. Because its central nervous system was anesthetized, it also fell into a deep sleep.

Then, he put the monkey on the experimental table, tied it with a strap, exposed its back, and then used a shaving machine to shave all the hair on its spine.

Then, he picked up the scalpel from the side.

Taking a deep breath, I didn't expect that I had just seen an operation a few days ago and that I was about to undergo an operation.

Of course, the object of his surgery was just a monkey.

After recalling the basics of the surgery and the monkey's nerves that he had seen a few days ago, he reached out and began to cut open the spine above the monkey's tail vertebra.

Now, he will cut off the lower half of the monkey's central nervous system, then wrap the CCD-I artificial nerve with the polyether ether ketone on his hand, and then connect its nerve to see if the monkey can regain consciousness. , the lower body still has the ability to move.

As long as it succeeds, it means that his artificial nerves have succeeded!

Red blood flowed out. Lin Xiao recalled the introduction of hemostasis techniques in the basics of surgery, and he immediately used ligation to stop bleeding.

In a few strokes, he tied up the bleeding point of the monkey's wound.

If Chen Xuan and Dr. Liu saw this, they would be extremely surprised, because Lin Xiao's hand ligation and hemostasis technique was so precise, and his hands were as steady as ultra-high-precision servo motors.

That is to say, in terms of skill, he is still a little behind Chen Xuan, but compared with Xiao Liu, he can definitely surpass him.

And if they knew that Lin Xiaochun had achieved this with just two days of theoretical study, they would probably be even more demented.

Of course, unfortunately, no one could visit the operation.

After the ligation is completed, the next step is to find the central nerve, cut it off, and then connect the artificial nerve.

This step is more troublesome. After all, the central nervous system is hidden in the spine, so you first need to make a hole in the monkey's spine and then cover it, just like a craniotomy.

Normally, such a complicated operation could only be performed by a doctor with at least many years of experience, let alone Lin Xiao.

But he just relied on his extremely steady and precise hands, sharp eyes, and head with a brain development level of 9.95% to complete it.

"Phew, finally done."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and then sighed: "It's a neurological surgery, but it's difficult!"

"Fortunately, I still studied for two days in advance."

An animal-specific surgical suture was then performed, which prevents animals with hands like monkeys from damaging the wound or breaking away from the surgical sutures.

After finishing everything, Lin Xiao put down his needle and thread and took off his gloves. Next, he waited for the monkey to wake up. Of course, he still tied the monkey to the experimental table.

As time passed slowly, the monkey's eyes opened, its fingers moved, and most importantly, its feet moved!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up in surprise.

Success?

After waiting for a while, the monkey's range of activities became larger.

Especially its legs are twitching constantly!

Lin Xiao was even more surprised.

He cut off the lower half of the monkey's central nervous system. If the artificial nerves did not work, the lower limbs would definitely be unable to move.

And now, artificial nerves have obviously played a huge role!

Of course, there is another most critical step, which is to test whether the monkey can move normally!

That is, whether the movements of the lower limbs are coordinated with those of the upper limbs.

If artificial nerves cannot accurately transmit nerve signals from the brain, then the movements of the upper and lower limbs will obviously not be coordinated.

And such artificial nerves obviously cannot be used on the human body.

So, next, it’s time to witness the miracle.

He untied the monkey, captured it in a cage, and observed its behavior.

The final result proved that this monkey was still able to control its body perfectly!

Lin Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

It's Shi Hao!

Soon, the call came through.

"Professor Lin!"

The voice from the opposite side sounded, still upright and energetic, making people completely unaware that the other person was actually a paraplegic.

Lin Xiao controlled his surprise and said something to Shi Hao that surprised him: "Shi Hao, you can stand up!"
