As time goes by, the weather gradually turns cooler.
As the experimental dog of the Brain-Computer Center successfully took its first step on the ground, clinical experiments in the medical school also officially kicked off.
On the day of the clinical operation, Ye Ming and Mo Gu were also fully armed and entered the operating room of the affiliated hospital.
Of course, Mo Gu can't do the surgery, she can only observe from the side - although she is skilled in knife skills, it is limited to mice. To operate a knife on a human body, it requires not only "craftsmanship", but also a heart.
A strong heart.
As for Ye Ming, it was more because these doctors had no confidence. If they wanted him to be present, they had to have more confidence - even if anyone could do the job he did.
The operation lasted five hours.
When the paralyzed volunteer who was pronounced "death" woke up from anesthesia, the first thing he felt was "pain".
Ye Ming hadn't realized anything yet, but Mo Gu beside him became excited instantly.
Patients with general paralysis generally cannot feel pain. Feeling pain means that the nerves are no longer numb.
When the patient moved his index finger, fierce applause resounded throughout the hospital.

Massachusetts, Boston.
Harvard Medical School.
As the number one medical school in the world no matter how it is ranked, Harvard Medical School has the most impressive medical conditions and advances in cutting-edge technology.
Especially brain science.
They have the largest brain research team, covering all fields of brain science.
There is a joke that the human brain is no longer enough to satisfy their curiosity, so they turn their attention to zebrafish.
Of course, the essence of this joke is that the human brain is too complex, so scientists have settled for the next best thing, starting with a variety of organisms and hoping to eventually achieve the same goal through different paths.
But this is enough to illustrate the authority of Harvard Medical School in the field of brain science.
However, today, they were stuck in a somewhat risky operation.
As we all know, macaques are very good primate experimental animals, especially in the neurological field. As long as it can be successful in monkeys, it will not be far from success in humans.
In the operating room, Professor Michael was extremely upset when he looked at the pile of circuits on the monkey's back - although he didn't understand circuits, he understood nerves!
With such a mess of wires, there will definitely be problems!
"professor."
"Stop the operation. It seems that the more important the operation, the higher the demand for materials and circuits."
Professor Michael put down the scalpel, looked at the macaque with some regret, turned around and walked out of the operating room.
In the lounge, Professor Horn, who was hiding his excitement with his eyes closed, stood up instantly.
"The operation was successful?"
"Successful as hell."
Professor Michael looked at his old friend, took a sip of his long-cooled coffee and said, "I suspect it's a circuit interference problem."
Horn then looked at the other party strangely: "Are you questioning me?"
"Why can't I question you? I have done no less than twenty experiments on GTRGD materials, and each time the material lines generated will go wrong once they reach a certain critical point - is this a circuit problem or something else?"
"And there are such a huge pile of lines..." Professor Michael shook his head: "Aren't you engaged in integration?"
"It's not us, it's Silicon Valley." Professor Horn corrected: "Once this is chip-based, it will be an epoch-making industry."
"So, how long will it take?" Professor Michael stared at his old friend: "If the problem of integration is not solved, then even if it is connected to the nerves, it will face problems such as material breakage and interference with body tissue. As for extending to the brain-computer field, that is even more
It is impossible."
"Who says it can't be extended to the field of brain-computer? Tesla's team claims to have completed the true integration of brain-computer and consciousness."
When Michael heard his old friend talking about Tesla, he was startled for a moment and then sneered: "Didn't their team already fully decipher the brain-computer signals? Didn't they say they had already uploaded their consciousness to the Internet? Will they do it again?"
Professor Horn also laughed.
In terms of exaggeration, no one can compare with the richest man.
It has been a year since the GTRGD material appeared. If there is anyone who attracts more attention besides the inventor of the material... then it is probably Mr. Richest Man.
In the past year, Musk's brain-computer team has been making rapid progress, repeatedly announcing that they have completed a number of tests based on GTRGD chip materials, and also announced that it will invest one billion US dollars to create a new chip industry.
Just listen to these words...
If you really want to play with chips, you have to look at old players like Intel, AMD, and ARM.
For example, Intel has acquired a company specializing in electrode production at the speed of light in the first half of the year, and is now developing hybrid chips.
As the only IDM semiconductor company (vertically integrated manufacturing, from design to packaging), Intel is currently the most promising company to complete this epoch-making technology.
During the conversation between the two, the assistant had already taken out the circuit of the chip.
Of course, this is not a purely hand-made circuit - it is just because the driving part and the electrode part cannot be integrated, and the convenience of surgery must be taken into account, so a wiring harness is used as a last resort.
"There may be something wrong with the wiring harness. I'll look into it again." Seeing that Michael was trying to drive him away, Professor Horn laughed: "Dude, don't worry, I can guarantee that we are the fastest."
"Have you paid attention to your counterparts in the East?"
"How could you not pay attention? But on their side, except for the motor nerve anastomosis completed a few months ago, there has been no results in the past few months." Professor Horn paused and said, "The operation is so
It's so simple, then they must be stuck in the circuit."
"Simple operation? I'll give you another chance!"
"Well……"
Professor Horn saw the other party's unkind expression and immediately stood up: "Okay, wait for my news."
"I might as well wait for your news..."
At this moment, a Chinese female graduate student suddenly burst into the lounge holding a mobile phone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Professor!"
The two professors looked at the female graduate student at the same time.
"Province... they... completed the spinal nerve anastomosis in the human body!"
The two professors were startled at the same time. After looking at each other, their eyes were full of surprise.
This is a bit bold...actually going directly to the vertebral nerve of the human body?
But immediately, Professor Michael realized that this was not a matter of courage, but that someone had completed it - which meant that there was no problem with the circuit!
"How was it done? Is there a detailed report?"
"No, but their press release said that... an integrated hybrid chip and a new material are used to complete the surgery."
"What?!"
The two professors were shocked at the same time, and then grabbed their phones together.
The mobile phone report is in Chinese.
Then there are only three accompanying pictures.
The first picture shows a surgical scene, which is a mosaic wound and a piece of translucent material.
Although the specific site of the surgery was not exposed, Professor Michael knew that it should be the spine as soon as he saw the location.
The second picture is a piece of translucent colloid.
The third picture is an integrated chip.
Michael took a few deep breaths, looked at the Chinese characters that were like a coded heavenly book, cursed angrily and then looked at the girl: "Translate, translate!"
"Okay professor!"
The female graduate student immigrated here after her sophomore year of high school. When she has nothing to do, she would also browse the domestic Weibo and share her study and living conditions here.
By accident, it made the headlines on Weibo.
"Good news, the Joint Brain Science Center of Provincial Communications and Provincial University Medical College recently completed an epoch-making surgery to repair spinal nerve connections in the human body."
"This surgery uses a hybrid chip designed by Jizhi Technology to generate and drive GTRGD materials, and also uses T-JncPVA insulating hydrogel provided by Jizhi Materials to complete the fixation of the chip and circuit and resist rejection."
"These two new materials are independently developed and produced by my country and have all patents."
"Currently, the patient who underwent surgery is in the recovery observation period. According to the early performance, the patient's nerve channel has been successfully restored."
"The patient is now able to move his limbs."
"Dean Qi from the Provincial University Medical College said..."
Listening to the slightly vibrato translation of the female graduate student, the two professors looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
