Son of the Stars

Chapter 63 Anger
One brain, a badly damaged brain with almost complete loss of the cerebellum and medulla of the brainstem, was floating alone in the saline tank.Various complex artificial blood vessels are connected to the remaining cerebral blood vessels, and the centrifugal pump pumps blood rich in oxygen and glucose into the artificial blood vessels.

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 matter and even inorganic matter mixed in it.The composition of artificial blood prepared solely by blood products is bound to be very different from that of complex human blood.

Yang Weimin must have thought of this too, so he left a note on purpose to remind him, [When Watanabe's physical condition stabilizes, try to let his original circulatory system support the brain's operation.The replacement heart has already been produced in the induction differentiation machine, which takes about ten to fifteen hours.In a short period of time, it is not a big problem to artificially prepare blood, but in the long run, it is better to use real blood.Prioritizing the restoration of certain senses may benefit his mental health. 】

Lu Chen suppressed the [-] questions in his heart. Now there is an acquaintance who is waiting for him to reach out to save his life. Rather than answering the doubts in his heart, it is better to read the medical records first and complete the handover.

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 whole process of AI inquiry-Yang Weimin gave the doctor's order and authorized the treatment, Yang Weimin's longest thought took 1.7 seconds-this consumption was due to Yang Weimin's decision to stop cooling Watanabe's brain and replace it with total brain resection and transfusion. Inject artificially modulated blood.

The average time for issuing all other medical orders is less than 0.7 seconds.You know, Yang Weimin usually has to think about three to five minutes before giving a patient a glucocorticoid, and it takes half an hour to adjust the multi-immunosuppressive regimen.The average response was only 5 seconds, which only shows that in the process of giving the doctor's order, Yang Weimin, who was always hesitant and over-considered, gave the answer almost without thinking.

How does an internal medicine clinician who specializes in rheumatology and immunity have such abilities that are difficult for specialists in departments such as surgery, neurosurgery, and ICU?

To be honest, just looking at the treatment records, Lu Chen had the idea of ​​"press Brother Yang for detailed interrogation".There is nothing wrong with a physician authorizing an AI to perform surgery in an emergency.But a physician, who has to completely abandon the clinical rules and violate all the principles of conventional medical education, can give such precise surgical orders so quickly and decisively...

There must be something wrong with that.

Lu Chen first ruled out the possibility that Yang Weimin was pretending to be an alien, and then fell into hesitation—he really didn't know what secrets his mentor was hiding.

Watanabe's death was sad...but not unacceptable.People are mortal, so the so-called "whatever the cost" treatment itself is a false proposition.

In modern society, with stem cell-directed induction proliferation equipment, in theory, almost all medical diseases can be directly transformed into surgical operations.If it goes a little further, it can even directly induce a body.Then the severed brain is transplanted directly into the skull of the new body - stem cell gel can be used to connect the nerves, as long as the blood supply can be maintained, this kind of operation is not without possibility of success.

Thinking about it this way, Brother Yang still has a bottom line, at least he hasn't completely turned Watanabe from a human into an "illegal person".

"Doctor Lu, what do we need to do next?" Bian Que seemed a little annoyed as he waited aside, and he reminded politely, "Mr. ’ In. About 15 seconds ago, the blood sugar level in Mr. Watanabe’s brain began to rise.”

The brain needs glucose to support the complex and high-intensity neural firing activity.The existence of consciousness itself needs to consume about 60 milliliters of oxygen and 100 milligrams of glucose per minute to maintain.

But now, Watanabe's brain seemed to be slowing down—not a good sign.

"Um, what should I do?" Lu Chen was a little caught off guard by this sudden situation. He clumsily checked Watanabe's "brain vital signs" with only one brain left, but it was difficult to give clear instructions. .

"Mr. Watanabe's current brain temperature is 35 degrees Celsius. This temperature may be too low for the brain." As the AI ​​assistant, Bian Que quickly gave several suggestions, "You can also stimulate the brain by applying a small amount of current. Brain nerve activity. Or increase the pressure of blood flow and increase the level of oxygen supply."

Lu Chen frowned and thought for a while, then put himself in the shoes and thought about it, if he were Watanabe, what would be the situation now?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen quickly felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.

There is no doubt that Watanabe's consciousness was still clear at the moment of being shot.When he fell to the ground, all basic reflexes and autonomic functions in his body disappeared.It feels like the body suddenly disappears and only the head remains.

Within a few minutes of lying on the ground, the blood flow in Watanabe's body stopped completely.Because of the damage to the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, although he can feel suffocation, he can't do anything.The desperate pain of suffocation continued until his consciousness began to blur.

He was then transferred to the medical room.Under the treatment of Yang Jianmin and Bian Que, Watanabe's consciousness basically hovered between laxity and existence.Half awake, half alive, half dead, Watanabe's brain was directly removed—and then stuffed into cryogenic saline.

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 a certain degree of operation at this time.

However, he has lost all senses at this time.There is no darkness and light, no heat and cold, nothing but consciousness.

Because of the working principle of the centrifugal pump, Watanabe will not even feel the beating of the cerebral blood vessels.

That is true nothingness.Floating or falling in the endless void.Not only can't feel his own body, he can't even confirm his own existence.If the brain in a vat is an interesting illusion, then Watanabe floating in saline is receiving the cruelest punishment in human history.

"Cut off his original eyeballs—connect them back to the hypothalamus." After clarifying the order, Lu Chen made a decision. Reconnecting to vision should be able to help Watanabe's personality and consciousness to stabilize again.If not, give his brain a shock of stimulation.

While reconnecting the vision, it can also monitor the myoelectricity to assist in the positioning of the sight-this will also allow Watanabe to restore some ability to communicate with the outside world.

Bian Que faithfully carried out Lu Chen's doctor's order. Two eyeballs with optic nerves were linked to the outside of Watanabe's hypothalamus, and four electrodes were pasted around Watanabe's hypothalamus.

[You can speak through sight. ] Bian Que dangled a small board in front of Watanabe's "eyes" for a while, then began to wait and recorded Watanabe's nerve signals.

"How is it? Did Watanabe speak?" Lu Chen asked curiously, "Without tissue wrapping, can the optic nerve effectively transmit visual signals?"

"You... see for yourself." Bian Que called out a "screen" that was floating out of thin air, and after bringing the screen close to Lu Chen, it stopped making a sound.

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 took another look. It was indeed written on it.

Then appeared the second line of words, the third line of words... more and more words appeared on the screen faster and faster.

[I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you]
