From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 344 Shi Hao, you are ready to stand up!

Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry when he suddenly got so close to the artificial nerve.

Of course, since the CCD-I still cannot directly contact the human body fluid environment, it still needs to include something on the outside, but this time it is not required that the wrapping be able to conduct electricity, and it has to be similar to the resistance of the nerve. This time only this is required. Just keep things insulated.

And Lin Xiao quickly thought of something, that is PEEK, polyether ether ketone, to put it simply, it is a kind of plastic, and to say it advanced, it is a special polymer material.

This material has very good stability and has been used in aerospace and medical fields. The most important thing is that it perfectly meets Lin Xiao's requirements, especially in orthopedics.

So, this problem was solved so easily.

"Based on this, the only remaining problem is how to make CCD-I into filaments."

Lin Xiao suddenly thought about it.

The problem is not difficult.

Drawing method, spinning method, cutting method, etc. are fine.

He soon determined that chipping was the most convenient and least expensive method.

This is equivalent to scraping it directly with a knife to scrape out filaments, which can be compared to potato shreds.

The method is very simple.

Of course, the cutting method is only limited to shorter fibers, and it is not suitable for longer fibers. However, it is an artificial nerve anyway, and of course it does not need to be high.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately started to make contacts.

"I need medical polyether ether ketone raw materials, just one kilogram, and a monkey—oh, no, the biology laboratory has it."

After finishing the order, Lin Xiao went directly to the superconducting laboratory.

Although CCD-I is now a state top secret technology, there are of course many in his laboratory.

What you need to know is that his requirements for this superconducting laboratory included the ability to conduct research on large-scale applications of high-temperature and room-temperature superconductors.

Now, only his superconducting laboratory in the whole country has this function.

It is precisely because of this that many studies on room temperature superconductors are now carried out in his superconducting laboratory.

So this also led to many more people in their superconducting laboratory.

For example, [-] to [-] percent of those people who seem to be chatting in the corridor and wearing white coats are from Guoan.

When Lin Xiao came over, these Guoan people glanced at him one after another, and when they found out that it was the director, they all respectfully called out to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded to them, and then quickly entered the building, and then went directly to the basement.

Experimental room-temperature superconductors are basically stored in the basement.

Most of the currently produced CCD-I are stored here.

Lin Xiao took out a shorter one from it, and then reported it to the management staff, and then came to a material laboratory, found a knife, and began to scrape the "potato shreds".

With his control ability, he scraped out many filaments easily.

These filaments are the CCD-I fibers he scraped out.

Finally, after selection, he selected ten out.

Next, it's time to wait for PEEK.

Of course, before that, he also booked a monkey in the biology laboratory.

The purpose of life science is for the health of human beings, so the best experimental subjects are obviously human beings. However, it is definitely inhumane to conduct experiments on human beings. It is not ruled out that some countries are secretly doing this kind of thing, but Honestly speaking, no one dares to risk the world's disgrace, and monkeys are the most suitable ones. Who made monkeys and humans close relatives?

Therefore, this is Lin Xiao's purpose. He wants to try the effect of artificial nerves on monkeys first!

However, ordering medical polyetheretherketone takes a certain amount of time, so in the next time, he found a book on the Internet called "Neurosurgery Basics" and "Monkey Nerve Complete Solution".

……

Time passed quickly, and two days later, the PEEK that Lin Xiao wanted arrived.

Combining these polyether ether ketones with the CCD-I fibers he scraped out earlier, they formed extremely thin and rough artificial nerves.

Next, Lin Xiao took these things and went to the biology laboratory.

When they came to the biological laboratory, the people inside were all surprised: "Director Lin, why are you here?"

What is Lin Xiao doing in their biology laboratory?

Could it be that this great god is about to start studying biology?
But Lin Xiao simply nodded at them, and then went directly to his laboratory without stopping any longer.

Others couldn't help talking.

"What is Director Lin going to do?"

"Who knows?"

"Calm down, don't everyone on the Internet say that Director Lin is an all-round academic master, he can be a creature, so what's the surprise."

"Hey, isn't the laboratory that Professor Lin entered into a living animal laboratory? What is he going to do?"

"Damn it, god knows."

These people were all curious, did Lin Xiao go to the live animal laboratory to conduct experiments on animals?
……

Amid the curiosity of everyone outside, Lin Xiao entered the laboratory, because it involved room-temperature superconductors, he couldn't reveal too much.

Likewise, he didn't seek help either. After all, he would never be able to find someone from the superconductivity laboratory. They don't know how to study biology, and they might feel uncomfortable when they see monkeys bleeding.

In this way, he entered the laboratory alone, and locked the door.

Turning his head and looking, there was already a cage inside, and there was a monkey looking around in the cage. When he saw Lin Xiao coming in, he moved to the edge of the cage and stared at Lin Xiao.

This kind of monkey is called cynomolgus monkey. It is a kind of monkey commonly used in experiments. It is relatively docile in character, so it is very suitable for experiments.

Well, it feels a bit like being bullied when you say it this way.

However, after all, it is scientific research, and it is also a helpless move.

Lin Xiao didn't care too much. After changing the equipment, he prepared an anesthetic, then opened the cage, controlled the monkey, and anesthetized its central nervous system.

After waiting for the anesthesia effect to take effect, the monkey collapsed on the ground, and because the central nervous system was anesthetized, it also fell into a deep sleep.

Then, he put the monkey on the experimental table, tied it with a strap, exposed its back, and then shaved all the hair on its spine with a shaving machine.

Then, he picked up the scalpel from the side.

Taking a deep breath, I didn't expect to see a surgery just a few days ago, and I was about to perform one.

Of course, the object of his operation was a monkey.

Recalling the basics of surgery and the monkey's nerves he had seen a few days ago in his mind, he stretched out his hand and began to cut open the spine above the monkey's tailbone.

Now, he wants to cut off the lower half of the monkey's central nervous system, then wrap the CCD-I artificial nerve with polyether ether ketone in his hand, and then connect its nerves to see if the monkey can wake up again. , the lower body still has the ability to move.

As long as it succeeds, it means that his artificial nerve has succeeded!
Red blood flowed out. Lin Xiao recalled the introduction of hemostasis techniques in the basics of surgery, and he immediately used ligation to stop bleeding.

In three or two strokes, he ligated the bleeding point of the monkey's wound.

If Chen Xuan and that little doctor Liu saw this, they would be extremely surprised, because Lin Xiao's hand ligation and hemostasis technique was so precise, his hand was as steady as an ultra-high-precision servo motor.

That is to say, he is still a little behind Chen Xuan in terms of skills, but compared with Xiao Liu, he can completely surpass him.

And if they knew that Lin Xiaochun had achieved this through two days of theoretical study, they would probably be even more demented.

Of course, unfortunately, no one was able to visit the operation.

After the ligation is completed, the next step is to find the central nerve, cut it off and then connect the artificial nerve.

This step is more troublesome. After all, the central nervous system is hidden in the spine, so first a hole needs to be made on the monkey's spine, and then covered, just like a craniotomy.

Normally speaking, such a complicated operation can only be performed by doctors with at least many years of experience, let alone Lin Xiao.

But he insisted on relying on his extremely steady and precise hands, sharp eyes, and head with 9.95% brain development to complete it.

"Huh, it's finally done."

Lin Xiao let out a long breath, and then let out a sigh of emotion: "As expected of neurosurgery, it is difficult!"

"Fortunately, I still studied two days in advance."

Then, an animal-specific surgical suture was applied, which prevents monkeys, animals with arms, from damaging the wound or tearing open the surgical thread.

After finishing everything, Lin Xiao put down his needle and thread and took off his gloves. The next step was to wait for the monkey to wake up. Of course, he still tied the monkey to the experimental table.

As time passed, the monkey's eyes opened, its fingers moved, and most importantly, its feet moved too!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao stood up in surprise.

Succeeded?
After waiting for a while, the monkey's range of activities became larger.

Especially its legs are constantly twitching!

Lin Xiao was even more surprised.

He severed the lower half of the monkey's central nerve, and if the artificial nerve hadn't worked, its lower limbs would have been immobilized.

And now, artificial nerves have obviously played a huge role!
Of course, there is one more critical step, which is to test whether the monkey can move normally!

That is, whether the movements of the lower limbs are coordinated with the upper limbs.

If the artificial nerve cannot accurately convey the nerve signals from the brain, then the movements of the upper and lower limbs cannot be coordinated.

And such artificial nerves obviously cannot be used on the human body.

So, next, it's time to witness the miracle.

He untied the monkey, grabbed it into a cage, and observed its behavior.

The final result proved that this monkey can still control its body perfectly!

Lin Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

It was Shi Hao!

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Professor Lin!"

The voice from the opposite side sounded, still upright and energetic, making it completely unexpected that the other party was actually a paraplegic.

But Lin Xiao controlled his surprise, and said something to Shi Hao that surprised him: "Shi Hao, you can stand up now!"
