From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 365 Mechanical Ascension?

"Well... basically it should look like this."

Looking at the design drawing on the computer, Lin Xiao showed a look of thinking.

As for prosthetics for monkeys, it is natural to design them first.

He has already followed that unlucky monkey No. 1—well, Lin Xiao has now named that monkey No. 1 unlucky monkey.

This is also to prepare for the possible appearance of No. 2 and No. 3 in the future.

He has designed the model based on the ratio of the right arm and left leg of Unlucky Monkey 1.

Then there is the question of internal structure.

The legs are very simple, there are not many joints, and there is no need to move the toe joints. It is easy to make, but the arms are very troublesome, and many motors need to be installed inside. How to accommodate these motors perfectly requires some careful work. design.

There is another point, that is the sense of touch.

Feet do not need tactile sense, but hands must need tactile sense. The tactile sense in the hands is very important for human beings. For example, a novel author basically needs to be able to type without looking at the keyboard when coding, but how to do it without looking at the keyboard? Typing on the keyboard requires tactile feedback. Otherwise, the fingers will always touch by mistake, which is obviously a big problem for typing.

How to solve the tactile problem is relatively simple. For the human hand, the most important tactile points are the fingertips and palms. When the time comes, add pressure sensors directly to these key parts. will be able to achieve.

In addition to these issues, there is one last issue, which is energy.

That is the battery!
Lin Xiao thought of today's battery technology, lithium-ion batteries still occupy the main market, and in terms of energy density, lithium-ion batteries are not enough in today's era, especially for prosthetics, of course, For this problem, it is only necessary to use a removable battery structure. If two batteries are used in a day, the battery life can be basically maintained.

In addition, the safety of lithium-ion batteries is relatively low. Considering various fires and even explosions, in order to avoid danger for people using these mechanical prostheses, it is also necessary to consider a fast Disassembled structures, even devices that fall off automatically.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao shook his head, feeling a little helpless, but it doesn't make any sense to think about it now.

At least the current lithium-ion batteries are still relatively safe. Lithium-ion batteries from major manufacturers have rarely had such dangerous accidents, and they will conduct more careful screening when selecting batteries. can avoid this kind of problem.

All in all, these are the things that need to be noticed in the process of manufacturing this mechanical prosthesis.

"Forget it, let's ignore these nonsense, let's make something first."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao no longer struggled.

Then he went to the workshop in the research institute, which was mainly used to develop machinery.

There are machine tools, electric arc furnaces, and other equipment in this studio, such as polishing machines. It is very complete and belongs to the dream workshop of any man who loves machinery.

And now he has all the materials ready, and now only the final work of building is left.

"Then let's start!"

After putting on various protective gear, Lin Xiao started working.

The first is to burn the aluminum alloy red, aluminum alloy is relatively light, more suitable as the main structure of the prosthesis, the most important thing is that it is also good in flexibility, and then cover it with a layer of silicone to simulate the skin, it will be very good Perfect.

After the aluminum alloy burned red, Lin Xiao picked up the hammer and started beating.

If outsiders saw that Lin Xiao, a top mathematician and physicist, actually did such a job of forging iron, they would probably be surprised.

But for Lin Xiao, men always have the urge to make machines by themselves.

In this way, he quickly built all the casings according to the design drawings, and relying on the precision of his movements, the size difference between these casings and the size he designed completely reached the level of 10 microns.

After finishing the shell, he prepared various wires and the PCB board he had designed before. This PCB board will be connected to the artificial nerve, and then transmit current to the artificial nerve and receive current from the artificial nerve.

In this step, the connection between the external circuit and the internal circuit of the human body is the most critical part, and according to the neural current interpretation book rewarded by the system, the biological and non-biological currents will also achieve a perfect intersection!

……

Time passes quickly.

It took another ten days, and Lin Xiao finally finished all the work.

A thick leg and a slightly thick arm are relatively large compared to the legs and arms of Unlucky Monkey 1, but the size is also to accommodate more batteries.

Of course, in addition to the legs and arms, there are two things that connect the prosthesis to the human body, just like the part where the Winter Soldier's mechanical arm in the Marvel movie is removed, but it is still connected to his shoulder.

These two parts can facilitate the disassembly of the robotic arm later, such as maintenance.

"Huh, it's finally done."

Picking up the arm, Lin Xiao sized it up, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Well, even if the Winter Soldier lost his robotic arm and came to him, he would be able to build one of the same.

"Well, it's time for Unlucky Monkey 1 to experience how it feels to be a cyberpunk monkey."

The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up, and then he took out his mobile phone, and asked someone to arrange a living animal laboratory over there, and also transport his monkey there.

Then, he took his things and went to the laboratory.

……

It was the same laboratory that made the artificial nerve last time.

After entering, Lin Xiao saw a monkey sitting in a familiar cage.

When the monkey saw him, it screamed "Zhi Zhi Zhi", with a frightened expression on its face, as if calling "Don't come here".

Obviously, it hasn't forgotten the devil after giving it a knife.

And Lin Xiao smiled, stepped forward, and said, "Hey, don't be afraid, I'm not a devil."

"This time, I want you to experience mechanical ascension. This is something that many of us humans want to experience."

"Don't you know what's good or bad."

And the monkey is still chirping, joking, what does it know about mechanical ascension?
If it was a human being, Lin Xiao's current expression would undoubtedly look like those evil scientists who are going to conduct human experiments.

Seeing the monkey's "uncooperative" appearance, Lin Xiao spread his hands, "Don't say it? Then it seems that there is nothing to say?"

So without talking nonsense, he stepped forward, took out the anesthetic syringe, and then controlled the monkey to give it an injection.

After that, the monkey showed a look of lovelessness, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Xiao stopped talking nonsense, put it on the test bench, and then recalled what he had learned for so long about amputation and artificial limb surgery, and then started to move his hands.

First choice

This is not just a one-shot operation, since it is a neurosurgery, he naturally needs to find a way to protect the internal nerves.

So he picked up a scalpel and slowly began to cut.

After his careful resection, he finally managed to keep the monkey's brachial plexus intact.

The next step is to install the shoulder-arm connector, which requires the use of bone nails, which are directly inserted into the bone, and then the shoulder-arm connector is installed.

At this step, Lin Xiao directly took out the electric drill.

Probably, if the monkey suddenly woke up now, it would probably regret that it had woken up. Just think about the horror when the doctor took out the hammer and smashed it when the wisdom teeth were pulled out.

And so the operation continued.

until six hours later.

……

After installing the last mechanical leg, Lin Xiao finally wiped the sweat off his brow, and then looked at the monkey in front of him.

The originally hairy right arm and left leg were suddenly replaced with metallic mechanical prosthetics.

Especially for the part of the manipulator, the metal joints are very distinct, full of a strong sense of mechanics and science fiction.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao even suspected that they might not need to consider the silicone layer imitating the skin in the future. Looking at the shape of the robotic arm, who would want to change it?

No wonder the subject of mechanical ascension is very popular.

Even he can not rule out some handsome and desperate people, just remove his arm and replace it with this mechanical arm.

He couldn't help but feel a little amazed by this thing in his heart, then he shook his head and got rid of these guesses.

If there are such crazy people, then he can't help it, after all, he can't stop those who want to die.

He then put the monkey in a cage and waited for it to wake up to see if it could operate two mechanical prosthetic limbs.

Time passed quickly, and after another hour, the effect of the anesthetic began to wear off.

Lin Xiao stared closely at the monkey's body.

First of all, the monkey moved its left finger, and its left hand is good, so it is not a big problem.

But then, Lin Xiao saw that its right finger also moved!
One of the mechanical fingers was shaking just like that!

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

Did you make it? !
At this time, the monkey's right arm also started to move!
Probably because there was an operation there, and after the effect of the anesthesia wore off, the pain made the monkey unbearable, so it shook.

However, this scene has already proved that the mechanical prosthesis created by Lin Xiao has succeeded!

Then, as time passed quickly, more than half of the anesthesia effect faded, and the monkey finally sat up.

At first it clutched its surgical site, trying to relieve the pain, but suddenly found that its familiar arm and leg had changed. It suddenly showed a fearful expression, and began to jump up and down in the cage, but after a while Afterwards, it quieted down again, from fear to doubt and curiosity, and began to touch his new arms and legs.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao also showed a smile on his face.

It worked!
At this moment, his phone rang suddenly.

It was Ma Gaoliang calling.

After connecting the phone, Ma Gaoliang's laughter came from the other side: "Academician Lin, I have some good news for you. Guess what it is?"

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Don't worry about your good news, your good news is definitely not as good as mine, so guess first, what is my news?"

　I will take a leave of absence tomorrow, and this chapter is for today.
