Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Medically, neurology has been an area of considerable difficulty, especially with regard to the spinal nerve sector, which can be particularly complicated.

The end of the spinal nerve is damaged and the entire lower body is paralyzed. If this happens, the general doctor will tell the patient that it is basically impossible to get back on your feet.

The same is true of Li Gaoliang, whose central nerve cells cannot be regenerated once damaged, and even the bullish doctor cannot say that attaching the broken vertebrae can put the paralyzed person back on his feet.

However, what the Ark intends to use is not a conventional treatment.

A neural signal modem is implanted at both ends of the spinal nerve damaged segment, while the damaged nerve is covered by an imitation neural sensing device made of molybdenum titanium alloy.

It is equivalent to building a bridge over damaged spinal nerves, replacing complex signaling between neuronal cells with electrical signals, and translating electrical and neural signals with "translators" at both ends, controlling the titanium alloy skeleton built into the electric drive to achieve the effect of restoring leg movement to the patient.

At the same time, in order to maximize the ability of the surgeon to exercise and to extend the shelf-life of this neural access prosthesis, the titanium alloy skeleton used in both legs was designed jointly by the Institute of Computational Materials of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.

If the cost is calculable, the average unit price per gram is over $2,000, and one kilogram is at least $2 million.

Taking into account the value of the neural access device itself, this whole equipment is about to catch up with a main battle tank...

However, there is no problem with this metaphor. After this transformation, almost half of his entire lower body has been replaced with machinery. Although it is certainly not as exaggerated as the terminator in the movie, after he is able to fully adapt to this transformation, his ability to exercise and react will not be a problem for ordinary people.

In the O.R.

The anesthesiologist is ready for anesthesia and ready to start medication.

The main knife doctor, who had put on gloves, took out the surgical tools, looked at Li Gao Liang before the surgery began, and asked seriously.

“Are you ready? ”

Lee Gao Liang, lying on the operating table, calmed his chin.

“Ready, get started. ”

All preparations are in place and surgery will begin soon.

Standing outside the O.R. door, Wang Peng touched a cigarette light from his pocket, but soon threw the cigarette out again into the trash can.

After two steps back and forth, he couldn't help but look at the ark in the bench and ask.

“Do you think this surgery will work? ”

Shaking his head, the ark simply said: "Without 100% certainty, I can only say that we have done our utmost to minimize the risk. ”

To make sure the surgery is safe, Startech brought in the most experienced knife physician from Shanghai, and practiced countless times using a 1: 1 model model before the surgery began.

Even so, however, there is no guarantee that the surgery will not be accidental.

Wang Peng nodded and said nothing. He just stared silently at the door of the operating room, squeezed his fist and prayed silently in his heart for the peace of his old comrades.

The procedure took a long time.

The plan ended at 6: 00 p.m. and ended at 3: 00 a.m.

Sitting in the bench at the door of the operating room, he fell asleep, suddenly awake by the sound of the operating room door pushing open, watching the main knife doctor coming out of the operating room, the ark did not speak, stood up and asked.

“How's it going? How's the surgery going? ”

Removing the mask worn on his face, the main knife doctor looked tirelessly at the ship and nodded his head.

“Surgery is basically a success… as to whether or not it works, we have to wait for the patient to wake up. ”

Hearing the main knife doctor, the ark finally relieved itself and a suspended heart let go.

Standing next to Wang Peng, he finally loosened his clenched fist and looked at the doctor with gratitude.

“Thanks!”

“You don't have to thank me, mainly the patient's own physical fitness has passed, honestly, this is the first time I've had such a messy surgery... build bridges for spinal nerve traction, I've never heard before. ”

When he said that, the Master Knife doctor also had an emotional expression on his face.

Although for someone outside the operating room, the outcome of the surgery is only a simple word of success or failure, for him as the main knife physician, every minute of the dozen hours has been incredibly risky.

Paused for a moment, the main knife doctor said.

“Generally speaking, if a spinal cord injury leads to the loss of its nerve fibers, it cannot regenerate, so the paralysis caused by the trauma in this area is essentially permanent… If he can really get back on his feet, it could be a miracle in medical history. ”

“Wish we could do a miracle," the ark nodded to the main knife doctor, "and you should get some rest. ”

The main knife doctor grinned.

“If you don't tell me, I'm losing it. ”

Over a dozen consecutive hours of concentration on the operating table, his spirit was already at its limit.

……

After the surgery.

Sleeping until the next morning, Li Gaoliang, lying on the bed, finally woke up from the coma.

Although the physician in charge of the anesthesia is experienced and perfectly controlled on the dose, this surgery with a knife near the central nerve also takes a lot of time to eliminate the anesthesia after surgery, so much so that he can just open his eyes now, let alone speak, that the whole person is there like a wooden man.

Upon learning of his awakening news, he was on an ark at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies and immediately drove over.

When he arrived in the ward, Li Gaoling was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.

Now he could only move his eyeballs and some of the muscles on his face. After hearing the movement at the door of the ward, the eyeballs slightly moved and looked past in the direction of the ark.

“How do you feel? ”

Li Gaoliang's facial muscles twitched, but his mouth still didn't open.

“... sorry, I forgot you can't talk right now.” The ark shook its head with a smile and paused for a moment to continue, "The surgery was a success, according to the doctor, and you could get out of bed in a week if it wasn't unexpected. As for being able to adapt to your new body, it depends on how well you recover after surgery, but I'm sure you survived the surgery itself, and this little problem shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Black pupils swayed slightly, Li Gaoling did not speak, but looked at the ark without turning a blind eye.

The colour of gratitude was read from that gaze, and the ark laughed less carelessly and continued.

“Anyway, it's great that you're okay. ”

“Rest well these days, I won't bother your recovery, I'll come back to see you when you can get out of bed. ”

“I…”

The muscles on his face twitched, Li Gao Liang barely opened his mouth and made a difficult sound from his throat.

“… thanks, thanks. ”

“You're welcome. ”

The ark nodded at him with a smile.

Go ahead, turn around and walk away.
