The charming voice gradually approached along with the sound of high heels, and a smiling face came into view, but there was a hint of complaint in the smile.
"Of course it's you, Sister Leyao."
Xia Xu joked casually with a smile.
"It's just a nice word. If you really care about me, you won't be unaware of such a big thing."
Chen Leyao rolled her eyes angrily.
"That's not nice to say."
Xia Xu said with a smile: "It's hard to find someone as beautiful and talented as Sister Leyao. Those who have both are unparalleled in the world. If I didn't already have a girlfriend, I would definitely marry you back, Sister Leyao."
A good housewife."
"Oh, man."
Chen Leyao stretched out her index finger charmingly and made a pushing motion, but in the end she just tapped Xia Xu's forehead and said angrily: "Are you looking for a wife? Are you looking for a secretary?"
"secretary?"
Xia Xu was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
As the saying goes, the secretary has something to do and nothing to do...
Car, car, car, car, so fast.
Despite her naturally charming appearance, Sister Le Yao is actually very dignified and upright, and even acts like a cold and aloof CEO in front of outsiders. Unexpectedly, she also drives a car.
"I mean helping you with your work."
Chen Leyao was actually more relaxed because of being too familiar with it, so she blurted it out inadvertently. At this moment, she realized it and immediately stated it seriously. She lied without even blinking an eyelid, and there was no flaw.
But Xia Xu couldn't help laughing: "Sister Leyao, I would have believed you if you hadn't said this."
"Don't change the subject."
Chen Leyao looked stern, sat sideways on the edge of the hospital bed, and said angrily: "You are also the boss of the group, how can you act as the experimental subject yourself? And if you don't discuss such a big matter with me, at least as the president of the group, I always have
Right to know, right?”
Xia Xu made the decision yesterday and went directly to the operating table today without even notifying Tang Youxin, let alone Chen Leyao.
She only found out about this matter through group channels today, and rushed over in a hurry without caring about the unfinished matters at hand.
"I'm not afraid that Sister Leyao will worry you."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "With Dr. Cui here, there is basically no risk in the operation. I simply don't want to make you worry in vain."
"I……"
Chen Leyao hesitated to speak, her lips pursed, and finally she did not continue speaking. She only stayed for a moment and left in a hurry on the grounds that she had to deal with group affairs.
After meeting Zou Jin, Guo Feilong and others, as well as some of the middle and senior management of the group who came to visit one after another, Xia Xu finally calmed down, leaving only Cui Xinghua and Gu Haiming staying nearby, firstly to take precautions, and secondly to test the experimental conditions.
.
The second heart is called a heart, but it is actually much smaller than a normal heart. According to Cui Xinghua's surgical plan, it was implanted on the right side of the chest, opposite to the normal heart.
This implant is connected to the human blood circulation system in a semi-independent state. It is controlled by the heart valve. When it is closed, the blood circulates normally. When it is opened, the blood will first pass through the chamber of the second heart and then go to the main heart.
It can also bypass the main heart and proceed directly to the next cycle, thus playing a role in replacement and maintenance when the main heart is damaged.
In addition, the second heart modulated by Gu Haiming's genes is actually somewhat different from the normal heart.
First of all, it has weak consciousness, and the heart valves can also be controlled by artificial intervention.
Similar to controlling the lungs and diaphragm to breathe, it is very simple and intuitive, but since it is not an original organ after all, it requires a little concentration to actively control it.
By controlling the heart valve, the opening and closing of each chamber of the second heart can be controlled, thereby controlling the path of blood inflow and outflow.
Of course, these are just details. The core of the second heart is the filtration and interception of K protein in the blood.
When it is normally open, the second heart will filter out all the K protein from the incoming blood and store it in a specific chamber.
When the human body senses that the K protein concentration in the blood is lower than the conventional standard line, it will resume replenishment, and it will be repeatedly trapped by the second heart, thus continuously increasing reserves.
These stored K proteins can be selectively released slowly or explosively.
Slow release allows the concentration of K protein in the body to continue to be higher than the standard line, causing the body to spontaneously strengthen, similar to exercise.
Explosive release is similar to the 'crazy' state he had in the past two days. The body will absorb these K proteins to produce a temporary explosive enhancement.
For this reason, the Second Heart Project is also known as [Rageous Heart] within Xinghai Biology. The two release modes and the daily filtering and interception mode are also intuitively called strengthening mode, madness mode, and reserve mode.
In addition, there is actually an 'emergency mode', which essentially releases the stored K protein completely, but at the same time, the second heart secretes small peptide components similar to bee venom and bullet ant toxin, which can cause intense pain almost instantly.
and spread throughout the body.
This extremely painful state is similar to the one two days ago. The pain and associated fear and pressure are used to stimulate the body's stress response, and the explosive secretion of K protein enhances physical fitness.
Just after the operation, of course, you cannot try the crazy mode and emergency mode. For normal heart surgery, even with professional care, it will take at least a month to be discharged. At this time, the internal bleeding and wound collapse will be properly treated.
However, you can still try the reserve mode and the enhanced mode. If you concentrate a little and control the opening of the valve, you can clearly feel a warm current flowing into the right side of the chest, and traces of things are absorbed by the internal tissue, and finally converge at a certain point.
a chamber.
After filtering out a small amount of K protein, Xia Xu also tried the strengthening mode, but the amount was too small, and body strengthening is a long-term slow process, so it didn't feel much.
But Gu Haiming has already verified the strengthening effect, and he will feel it sooner or later, so there is no need to be too anxious about this.
"Speaking of which, does this count as the internal strength in martial arts novels? And I still have the automatic practice function turned on."
Realizing his own feelings, Xia Xu suddenly and inexplicably thought of that martial arts idiot Zhou Mingjie.
The strengthening mode of your second heart can slowly enhance your physical fitness, and it is achieved by refining and applying certain substances in the body. Isn't this the same as the internal strength in martial arts novels, and it is also a fully automated practice.
I don’t know how Zhou Mingjie will feel when he finds out.
The state of internal strength that I dreamed of, similar to that in martial arts novels, was easily achieved through a human body modification surgery. Is this worth feeling sad or happy?
"What the hell, at worst it's just cyberpunk martial arts. In reality, there's no such thing as internal strength."
Xia Xu was amused for a while, then laughed and shook his head.
