Chapter 603 Imitation
Atlas Group's second-generation prosthetic technology is already very mature.
Professor Connors and Michael were each conducting the final test in the testing room:
The former has been replaced with a human lizard muscle cell prosthetic arm that is almost the same as the human body, or even better.
For someone like him who only had part of his limb replaced, the arm was almost indistinguishable from his original arm.
"The number of inflammatory markers is normal, the white blood cell count is normal, the range of hormone levels is normal, and the cognitive function is normal."
Connors deliberately grabbed the test report with his newly replaced arm, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
He excitedly raised his head and looked towards the observation room——
When things first started, no one could have imagined that it would be like this.
When things first started, Leal was a poor boy who was terminally ill and about to die suddenly. He woke up from a coma and was crippled. Connors thought he was a child waiting for help like him. In the end, he probably didn't. Way to give Lille any future.
Unexpectedly, this future was not given to Lille by him, but by Lille to him.
Lizard serum has become a raw material for the medical industry, and the result is now in his hands——
The dream became a reality, a second-generation prosthesis that was almost indistinguishable from his original limbs, an arm built with artificial muscles.
This was his last safety check: a physiological status check like all current users of second-generation prosthetics.
Everything was normal. He suppressed his excitement and walked into the observation room——
Everyone is waiting here, waiting for Lear to make final adjustments to the experimental prosthetic skeleton of the third generation of prosthetics.
This prosthetic body, or full-body prosthetic body, will use the most advanced neural implants to imitate the human native nervous system and fully restore and close to the native brain neural functions.
In other words, imitate nature and create a prosthetic body that functions perfectly close to the human body.
The strength of Michael's prosthetic body has been declining since he lost his name as a death warrior, and he has been experimenting with cutting-edge civilian prosthetic technology.
Now he is also very excited:
Here, he truly realized his original idea: to make cool prosthetics, but for civilian use.
And after his body was forcibly replaced with a combat prosthetic body, he now wants to regain all his neurological functions and feel the world again as before.
On the operating table, Michael's second-generation prosthesis was removed bit by bit until only the brain, the skull covering the brain, and a blindfolded native eye remained.
As the body was disconnected and the feedback from the brain-computer interface disappeared little by little, he found that he was still a little scared:
Fear is the feeling of being unable to move even though you are still thinking and conscious.
All the limbs were severed, leaving only the head——
Yes, the head also needs to be disassembled. In fact, only the skull covering the brain is original. This is one of the reasons why he can be compatible with the low-level mechanical combat prosthetics of Cyber Technology Company:
If there is no long-term stimulation, the brain's immune response is actually relatively weak, and neuroinflammation is less likely to occur in the short term, increasing the possibility of developing cyberpsychosis.
Of course, his strong self-control ability is also one aspect: he trusts the prosthetic body.
Now with his prosthetic body removed, he has someone he can trust: Leal.
"Let's get started, boss."
Leal nodded and gave instructions to everyone in the laboratory: "Start the Atlas Group's third-generation prosthesis—experimental prototype prosthesis implantation surgery."
The operation was a near miss. If anything, it was just that people were shocked by the data and plans that Lille pulled out from nowhere.
Coming from the cyberpunk world, decades of high-intensity warfare and human experiments, and even research results on young nerves, he can easily come up with software and hardware designs suitable for civilian use.
Before Leal obtained this data from Fiona, Atlas had already identified several materials that could be used in neural implants——
[Liel: Our best option is nanoscale materials and neural reconstruction, but our process level is not up to it. 】
[Dr. Otto: It is indeed very suitable to realize neural reconstruction at the nanoscale, but it is already our limit now. 】
Nowadays, even if Lear steals a lot of chip process technology from the cyberpunk world and Muramasa, they can only etch chips at the 3 nanometer level.
The three-dimensional stacked chip of the 3-nanometer process is the basis of the neural implant. Referring to the remote prosthesis pulled from the Luxor Villa, Lear designed and manufactured an upgraded version of the brain-computer interface chip.
The chip acts as a mediator and can process more information.
However, the 3-nanometer level is still not enough and precise enough for the electrode tip to imitate neurons.
If it is not precise enough, the only way is to maintain the feeling in a relatively safe area by controlling the current. In this way, the human feeling will be a bit rough compared to the original limb, and it is extremely dependent on the stability and accuracy of the system that controls the current. Spend.
The imitation of the Marvel world is rougher, but it allows Lear to observe the path of technological development. The imitation of the Cyberpunk world is closer to the cutting edge. Combining the experience of the former gives him the opportunity to move to the next level.
[Peter: This accuracy is enough. The human lizard muscle cells themselves are relatively rough, have a stronger ability to withstand voltage, and are safe enough. 】
[Professor Connors: Lear. This structure seems to me.]
[Lille: Yes, it’s the structure of my body. 】
The scalpel tore open Michael's skull, and under Leal's dedicated control, the Sianwestein, which he personally supervised, penetrated Michael's brain.
They don't have nanorobot technology to assist nerve endings and the softness of electrodes, so they can only use the old method——
Directly energize, allowing the electrodes to generate temperature and combine with the brain nerves.
This method was used to implant neural implants before mature nanorobots appeared in the cyberpunk world. It was very barbaric and required the sacrifice of many experimental products to obtain safe operating values.
The stimulation process was tingling, and an operation interface appeared in Michael's field of vision.
[Gwen: The internal environment is normal, and no brain atrophy or degenerative decay has been observed.]
[Lille: The implantation is normal and the prosthesis assembly is completed. 】
The spine penetrated the prosthetic body, and Lille controlled the opening and closing of the internal circuit of the prosthetic body in an extremely precise way, allowing the interfaces to combine one by one under the action of electric current.
One wrong step could cause Michael's brain to malfunction.
A very classic surgical procedure for a prosthetist: So a long time ago, a prosthetist was an extremely high-end profession.
呲——
Michael heard a sound of electricity.
Hearing recovery.
He opened his eyes and his visual system recovered.
He felt himself lying on a slightly gentler operating table—the sense of touch returned.
He smelled a refreshing smell in the air and his sense of smell returned.
All areas of his brain were activated, as if his body was back.
So he watched the scalpel in front of him withdraw, then slowly straightened up and sat up.
Everyone looked at this scene and looked at Michael's eyes with mixed emotions, knowing that they had succeeded.
[Lille: The operation was successful, and we successfully synthesized the human nervous system. 】
"marvelous!"
Cheers enveloped the laboratory, and people hugged each other and sighed about this great day:
International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Atlas Group, successfully produced a prosthetic skeleton with a nervous system that is almost the same as that of a human and successfully implanted it
No, it should be said that a person's brain was successfully implanted into this body!
Leal pulled the link at hand out of the console, watched with relief as Michael staggered off the bed, and then waved to his family——
Now, even if a person's spine is broken, they can save it.
The data body of the little octopus also appeared in Lille's field of vision, lying on the glass watching the joyful scene, and slapped it on Lille's head:
[Little Octopus: Brother, you can also have surgery! 】
[Liel: I’d better prepare a little more. The simulation of the native nervous system is completed, and we will now start the design and production of the enhanced neural implant. 】
[Little Octopus: Isn’t that simple? I can write a program into his spine and it will be done, but this process is indeed not able to support the advanced Sian Westan function. 】
[Little Octopus: I think the technology on the other side can support me to learn higher-level software, but there is no learning goal. If I generate a software out of thin air, the risk is a bit high. 】
[Lear: So let’s find a learning target now and prepare a neural signal collector. 】
[Lear: Gwen, you and Peter stay here for a while. 】
