Frowning, Cheng Qingsong still thought of his favorite eldest grandson. Although Alzheimer's disease will affect almost all of his memories, some memories from many years ago will be deepened, especially those that the patient cherishes most.
Many patients do not know their sons and daughters, but they can remember the time when their children were about to finish school in elementary school and their favorite food at that time.
"Grandson, are you here?"
Looking at Cheng Qingsong's dazed look, Cheng Yu knew that the old man's condition was getting more serious. If this ultimate secret-level medical skill didn't work, it was estimated that the old man might not be able to survive another year and a half.
"Where's fishing?" Cheng Yu stretched out his hand with a smile and grabbed the old man's wrist. It seemed casual, but he had already used the pulse diagnosis method of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Did you eat something secretly just now?" After checking the pulse, Cheng Yu already had a deep understanding of Cheng Qingsong's condition.
Cheng Qingsong looked confused, shook his head and said: "No, I almost fell asleep just now. I didn't eat, I didn't eat..."
Cheng Yu put on a serious face and said, "Then open your mouth and let me see..."
Cheng Qingsong listened to his words and opened his mouth when he heard the words. Cheng Yu asked him to stick out his tongue and he did so.
Then Cheng Yu quickly opened the old man's eyelids and took a look, then patted the old man's arm and said, "I'll get you some delicious food. You can continue fishing."
Cheng Qingsong laughed, with a childlike feeling: "Then you have to hurry up."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile, stood up, and walked quickly towards the building where Cheng Qingsong lived.
Cheng Qingsong's full-time nurse was helping him prepare the medicine he would take soon. Seeing Cheng Yu push the door open and come in, she hurriedly said: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng is fishing in the backyard. I am helping him prepare the medicine he will take later."
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "I'm not here to accuse you. I think grandpa's condition seems to be getting worse."
The nurse nodded worriedly and said, "It's a little bit. I don't know people anymore lately, but he keeps talking about you."
"When was the last time grandpa went to the hospital for a check-up?"
"About a week ago, it wasn't so serious at that time. Then Mr. Cheng's condition suddenly became serious. I told my wife, and she invited Dr. Li to have a look at the old man. Dr. Li said it wouldn't be a big deal if he checked again.
Meaning, the treatment plan won’t be significantly adjusted, so I didn’t take the old man to the hospital.”
Cheng Yu pondered slightly and said, "Give me all the reports about grandpa's visit to the hospital last week. I'll find an expert to take another look at it and see if I should take grandpa to the hospital again."
The little nurse hurriedly rummaged in a cabinet, took out a large kraft paper envelope, and handed it to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu said thank you, turned around and left. When he got downstairs, he walked into the study, took out the inspection reports and studied them one by one.
Symptoms like this gradually increase in severity. Although it didn't seem so serious a week ago, the sudden worsening in the past two days is a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. According to the report a week ago, and Cheng Yu's symptoms just now, it seemed simple
Through careful observation and consultation, Cheng Yu has basically mastered all of Cheng Qingsong's condition.
Based on the miraculous medical skills he now masters, Cheng Yu also knows that there is basically no chance of curing Cheng Qingsong. He can only use as many methods as possible to restore the old man to a period of time where he can still have some normal memory.
To put it bluntly, it is to treat Cheng Qingsong to the state he was in one or two years ago. Although he will occasionally lose almost all his memory suddenly, the duration will not be too long, and the frequency of attacks will not be too fast.
In fact, based on Cheng Yu's current judgment, he can make Cheng Qingsong, who originally had less than a year left to live, live at least three to five years. And until Cheng Qingsong dies, his condition should not get better.
worsened.
This requires an operation.
Of course, it's not the kind of disembowelment or craniotomy, but just a seemingly simple operation.
How simple is it? It's probably like the process of sewing a stitch.
During this period, Cheng Yu would need about twenty minutes.
Faced with the treatment plan that appeared in his mind, Cheng Yu finally understood what the ultimate secret-level medical skills meant.
Basically, by giving Cheng Yu a platform, almost all the diseases that can be solved without relying on drugs and mainly relying on surgery can be easily solved.
Moreover, it is not a treatment or surgery in the ordinary sense, but a surgical method that is close to a permanent solution.
This is a surgical method that changes the patient at the genetic level. After one operation, the chance of getting sick in this area is close to zero.
The reason why it is said to be close to zero is due to scientific rigor. At least in Cheng Yu's current knowledge system in this area, he has yet to find a pathological case of recurrence.
"Is it originally a method at the genetic level? No wonder it is said to be at the ultimate level. This is equivalent to directly applying the genetic research results of the planet where the God's System was born, or the era when the God's System was born.
Moreover, this kind of application can be so simple that it can be solved with just one needle. Writing genes is really treating the human body as a program. After a bug occurs, you only need to make additional writing to make it possible.
The program that had problems in the section can return to the normal track. Genetic coding technology is simply miraculous."
Cheng Yu whispered to himself softly.
"It's a pity. If I had gotten the God Digging System earlier, or if I had upgraded to the highest level of the system earlier, my grandfather's illness could have been almost cured. But now, I can only go back a little bit, and those things are completely damaged.
The genetic chain is beyond repair."
This is a bit like a hard drive. After it encounters physical damage, the data recorded on the hard drive can still be recovered through some means.
The degree of recovery depends on the degree of damage to the read and write tracks on the hard disk. Of course, completely damaged sectors cannot be recovered, but sectors that appear to be broken but are not actually completely damaged can still be recovered.
The data above is read.
This also means that Cheng Qingsong's body is still the same body, but after genetic coding, he can reconnect the broken but not yet necrotic gene chains to a large extent and restore them to the maximum extent. Moreover,
After being restored, these gene chains will no longer be damaged, because the data read from the good sectors will be transferred to other intact hard disks.
Of course, this metaphor is not completely accurate, but it is the expression closest to the truth.
There is also a problem, that is, the needle must be thin enough, which cannot be done with a long quilt-making needle.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu now owns a research institute for new materials. As far as Cheng Yu knows, the toughness of a new material currently owned by the institute can meet the material requirements for surgical needles in his brain.
Cheng Yu immediately called Li Dali.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered it, but that's not surprising. Li Dali, a technological madman, wouldn't even bother to carry a mobile phone with him if it wasn't necessary for communication. When he was working, he would just throw the phone away.
Outside the laboratory, it's either absolutely silent.
Cheng Yu transferred the phone to the director Chen Jiang and told him that no matter what Li Dali was doing now, he must answer the call immediately. Chen Jiang of course agreed without any principle.
Although Li Dali was unkind after entering work mode, he was an exception for Cheng Yu. When Chen Jiang said that Cheng Yu asked him to answer the phone immediately, he temporarily stopped the experiment in hand and handed it over to his deputy and others.
The researcher continued, walked out of the laboratory, and took the mobile phone from Chen Jiang's hand.
"Mr. Cheng, I am conducting a very important experiment. What can I do for you?" Li Dali's voice was still so steady, with almost no emotion, but he still put his demands first. This sentence
The hidden meaning of the words is, if you have nothing else to do, don't disturb my technical research.
Cheng Yu didn't mind Li Dali's attitude. He had long been used to it. He said directly: "I remember that we have a new type of material that can create filaments with a diameter of less than ten microns, right?"
Li Dali was stunned for a moment and said, "This is the material I am experimenting with now."
"I still remember that if the diameter of this kind of material is less than ten microns, it can't be longer than fifteen centimeters before, right?"
"This has exceeded. The experiment I am doing now is to stretch this material to more than one meter with a diameter of ten microns, and to completely weave it without adding any other materials.
down, making it one millimeter thick and over one square meter in area."
Cheng Yu was overjoyed after hearing this, but at the same time he was doubtful. This was simply the best news, but why did this technology appear so coincidentally? It was as if it came into being to match Cheng Yu's medical skills.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Cheng Yu said directly: "I need a filament that is twenty centimeters long and ten microns in diameter. Can you send me a sample immediately?"
Li Dali did not hesitate and answered directly: "I will arrange it immediately. You can tell Chen the rest."
This guy directly returned the phone to Chen Jiang. He didn't even ask why Cheng Yu wanted this filament, and turned back to the laboratory.
Seeing that the phone hadn't been hung up yet, Chen Jiang said, "Mr. Cheng, what do you want?"
"Guild Li will arrange to give you a sample. Find someone to deliver it to my home... I will send you the address right away."
Chen Jiang didn't want to ask any more questions and just agreed.
After receiving the address from Cheng Yu, Li Dali also asked one of his researchers to hand over a glass tube nearly thirty centimeters long and as thick as a straw to Chen Jiang.
"Gong Li said this is what Mr. Cheng wants. There is an outer packaging in Laboratory No. 12. Please go there yourself, Mr. Chen. In addition, there are specially matched tweezers in Laboratory No. 12, number NH20073.
Please Chen Suo, please take it all and give them to Mr. Cheng, Li Gong said he should need them."
Chen Jiang found the slender test tube, carefully walked to Laboratory No. 12, found the outer packaging and the tweezers numbered NH20073, and asked his driver to deliver it to the address specified by Cheng Yu.
After waiting for about forty minutes, Cheng Yu received a call from Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu told him that someone came to deliver something to him, and Cheng Yu asked Uncle Wu to let him go.
Coming out of the study, Cheng Yu saw Chen Jiang's driver and the small box he was carrying.
"Mr. Cheng, this is what Chen Suo asked me to bring to you."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, isn't this my job?"
"Okay, I still have things to deal with. You can go back and help me thank Chen Suo."
"Okay." The driver didn't hesitate, got back in the car and drove away from Cheng's house.
Taking the "surgical needle" with him, Cheng Yu went to the backyard and took a look. Cheng Qingsong was still sitting by the lake and drowsy, but the little nurse was already standing at the door of the backyard, staring at the old man.
"Has grandpa taken any medicine?"
"I've eaten." the little nurse replied.
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "I just showed grandpa's report to an expert, because the expert is in the United States and he wants to have a video call with grandpa to see his current condition. You go and take grandpa with him.
Come back."
The little nurse agreed and went to bring Cheng Qingsong back.
When Cheng Qingsong saw Cheng Yu, he complained unhappily: "You also said you would bring me some delicious food, but I haven't seen anyone for so long. Where is the delicious food?"
Cheng Yu smiled, supported Cheng Qingsong, led him to the bedroom, and said, "I put it in the room for you. Let's go over and eat right away, okay?"
"That's pretty much it." Cheng Qingsong was satisfied, but there was still no smile on his face.
"Okay, you can go and have a rest. I'll just keep an eye on grandpa. Don't let anyone disturb us until grandpa and I come out. The expert may need to give grandpa some instructions on the video call. These instructions are in
During the execution, no one can disturb you.”
The little nurse didn't think much about it and went to the dining room. She usually stayed there when she needed to drink water and rest.
Taking Cheng Qingsong into the bedroom, Cheng Yu handed Cheng Qingsong the fried chicken wings he had just prepared while waiting. Of course, the old man would not know that there was an oral tranquilizer hidden in the chicken wings.
Cheng Qingsong was so happy when he saw the chicken wings that he ate them all.
The sedative also worked. Although the old man was not satisfied and wanted another chicken wing, the effect of the sedative still kept him quiet enough.
Helping Cheng Qingsong lie down on the bed, Cheng Yu looked like he was massaging Cheng Qingsong's brain, but in fact, this was a special medical technique that could make the patient fall into a deep sleep by stimulating acupoints.
state.
Soon, Cheng Qingsong fell asleep under Cheng Yu's "massage".
Although in principle it is impossible to perform surgical operations in this so-called sleeping state, and he will basically wake up at any time, Cheng Yu is not worried about this at all, because as long as he inserts the thin needle with a diameter of only ten microns into Cheng Qingsong's
After removing the brain, the brain can be directly stimulated to a level comparable to that of anesthesia. It is absolutely impossible for Cheng Qingsong to wake up until Cheng Yu's operation is completed.
Cheng Yu took out the test tube from the packaging box sent by Chen Jiang, and saw a pair of tweezers placed in the box.
Although he could barely manipulate the thin needle with his bare hands, having tweezers obviously made it easier to do so.
