A brain, a severely damaged brain with almost complete loss of the cerebellum and brainstem and medulla oblongata, floating alone in a jar of physiological saline. Various complex artificial blood vessels are connected to the remaining cerebral blood vessels, and are pumped into the artificial blood vessels by centrifugal pumps.
Pumps blood rich in oxygen and glucose.
Human blood is a very complex multi-component liquid. In addition to the most important plasma and red blood cells, there are also various nutrients, hormones, immune substances, organic substances and even inorganic substances mixed in it. Artificial blood prepared solely by relying on blood products,
The composition is bound to be hugely different from complex human blood.
Yang Weimin must have thought of this, so he left a note to remind him, "After Watanabe's physical condition stabilizes, try to let his original circulatory system support brain operation. The replacement heart is already inducing
Production begins in the differentiation machine, which takes about ten to fifteen hours. In the short term, artificial blood preparation is not a big problem, but in the long term, it is better to use real blood. Prioritize the restoration of certain senses, which may be beneficial to his health.
Good for mental health.】
Lu Chen suppressed the ten thousand and one questions in his mind. Now there was an acquaintance waiting for him to lend a helping hand to save his life. Rather than answering the doubts in his heart, it was better to read the medical records and complete the handover. p>
According to Bian Que's records, Yang Weimin made a lot of preparations for this unprecedented separation operation, the most important of which was the arrangement of the medical plan.
During the entire process of AI inquiry - Yang Weimin issued medical orders and authorized treatment, Yang Weimin's longest thinking time took 1.7 seconds - this consumption was due to Yang Weimin's decision to stop cooling Watanabe's brain and instead perform a total brain resection and infusion.
Inject artificially prepared blood.
The average time it takes for all other medical orders to be issued is less than 0.7 seconds. You know, Yang Weimin usually has to think about it for three to five minutes before giving a patient a glucocorticoid, and the time it takes to adjust the multi-linked immunosuppression regimen starts at half an hour and has no upper limit.
The average response is only 0.7 seconds, which only shows that in the process of issuing medical orders, Yang Weimin, who is always hesitant and considers again and again, gives the answer with almost no thought.
How does an internal medicine clinician who specializes in rheumatology and immunology possess such abilities that are difficult for specialists in surgery, neurosurgery, ICU and other departments to achieve?
To be honest, just looking at the treatment records, Lu Chen had the idea of "holding down Brother Yang and interrogating him in detail". There is nothing wrong with a physician authorizing an AI to perform surgical treatment in an emergency. But a physician,
When clinical codes must be completely abandoned and all conventional medical education principles are violated, such precise surgical instructions can be given so quickly and decisively...
There must be something wrong with that.
Lu Chen first ruled out the possibility that Yang Weimin was an alien impersonator, and then fell into hesitation - he really didn't know what secrets his mentor was hiding.
Although Watanabe's death is sad...but it is not unacceptable. Everyone is mortal, and the so-called "treatment at any cost" itself is a false proposition.
After modern society has equipment for directional induction and proliferation of stem cells, in theory, it can even directly transform almost all medical diseases into surgical operations. If it goes a little further, it can even directly induce a body. And then use the cut brain
Transplanted directly into the skull of the new body - stem cell gel can be used for nerve connections. As long as the blood supply can be maintained, this operation is not without possibility of success.
Thinking about it this way, Brother Yang still has a certain bottom line. At least he did not completely turn Watanabe from a human being into an "illegal person".
"Doctor Lu, what do we need to do next?" Bian Que seemed a little tired of waiting. He reminded politely, "Mr. Watanabe's brain is still alive, and it is now in an almost completely unconscious darkness.
'ri. Fifteen seconds ago, the blood sugar level in the blood flowing out of Mr. Watanabe's brain began to rise."
The brain needs glucose to support complex and high-intensity nerve discharge activities. The existence of consciousness itself requires approximately 60 ml of oxygen per minute and 100 mg of glucose to maintain.
But now, Watanabe's brain seems to be slowing down - this is not a good sign.
"Um, what should I do?" Lu Chen was caught off guard by this unexpected situation. He clumsily checked the "brain vital signs" of Watanabe, who had only one brain left, but it was difficult to give clear instructions.
.
"Mr. Watanabe's current brain temperature is 35.2 degrees Celsius, which may be too low for the brain." Bian Que, as the AI assistant, quickly gave a few suggestions, "You can also apply a small amount of current.
, stimulate brain nerve activity. Or increase blood flow pressure and increase oxygen supply level."
Lu Chen frowned and thought for a while, putting himself in Watanabe's shoes, what would the situation be like now?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen quickly felt a layer of sweat break out on his back.
There is no doubt that Watanabe's consciousness was still clear at the moment he was shot. When he fell to the ground, all basic reflexes and autonomic nerve functions in his body disappeared. It felt like his body suddenly disappeared, leaving only his head.
General.
For several minutes while lying on the ground, the blood flow in Watanabe's body completely stopped. Due to the damage to the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, although he could feel suffocation, he could not do anything. The desperate pain of suffocation continued until he
until the consciousness begins to blur.
Subsequently, he was transferred to the medical room. Under the treatment of Yang Jianmin and Bian Que, Watanabe's consciousness basically hovered between dispersion and existence. Half asleep, half alive, half dead, Watanabe's brain was directly removed - and then stuffed
Entered into low-temperature saline solution.
A large amount of artificial blood rich in oxygen and nutrients poured into Watanabe's brain, and the nerve cells that were on the verge of death due to lack of oxygen became active again - Watanabe's brain may have resumed operation to a certain extent at this time. However, he has lost all his senses at this time. There is no darkness and light, no cold, heat, pain and itching, and nothing except consciousness.
Because of the working principle of the centrifugal pump, Watanabe will not even feel the beating of cerebral blood vessels.
That is true nothingness. Floating or falling in the endless void. Not only can't you feel your own body, you can't even confirm your own existence. If the brain in the tank is an interesting illusion, then the brain floating in physiological saline
You are accepting the most cruel punishment in human history.
"Remove his original eyeball - connect it back to the hypothalamus." Lu Chen clarified the sequence and made a decision. Reconnecting to vision should help Watanabe's personality and consciousness to stabilize again. If not, then
Just give his brain an electric shock to stimulate it.
While regaining his vision, he can also monitor myoelectricity to assist in positioning his gaze - this will also allow Watanabe to regain some of his ability to communicate with the outside world.
Bian Que faithfully carried out Lu Chen's doctor's orders. Two eyeballs with optic nerves were connected to the outside of Watanabe's hypothalamus, and four electrode pads were attached around Watanabe's hypothalamus.
[You can speak through your sight.] Bian Que held a small board in front of Watanabe's "eyes" for a while, then began to wait and record Watanabe's nerve signals.
"How's it going? Did Watanabe speak?" Lu Chen leaned aside curiously and asked, "Without tissue wrapping, can the optic nerve effectively conduct visual signals?"
"You...see it for yourself." Bian Que called up a "screen" floating out of thin air, and when he put the screen in front of Lu Chen, it became silent again.
A white I flashed on the screen a few times, and then a line of words slowly appeared.
【I fuck your mother】
Lu Chen rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked at it again. That was indeed what it said.
Then the second line of words and the third line of words appeared... more and more words appeared on the screen faster and faster.
[I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother]
