Son of the Stars

Chapter 69 Ingenuity
The operatives of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau have already surrounded the forest.

It is no exaggeration to say that any creature that wants to leave the encirclement of the operators has to be shot with at least one 5.56mm caliber bullet.

It is inconvenient to use bullets for small insects such as flies or mosquitoes, so laser irradiation is required.

This is not a rhetoric, but a siege strategy actually implemented by the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau—they deployed twelve long-endurance large drones in the sky outside the encirclement, with high-power Laser Cannon.

Consciousness cannot exist independently of matter, so as long as all suspicious matter is eliminated, the possibility of the target of action escaping must be completely eliminated.

Turning the arrest operation into a tough battle shows how desperate and frantic the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau is-the target is only one person.
-
The North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau is conducting an unprecedented "arrest operation", but there is a small situation on Lu Chen's side: Director Li Xiaohui has to leave the institute temporarily and go to Rotsville to take charge of the containment and psychological counseling work.

The North American region was hit hard in the era of the Great Crash, which has a very direct relationship with the region's psychotropic drugs, narcotics and drug abuse.As a result of the heavy damage, the population in North America, which is not very dense, has been greatly reduced, and there are even fewer professionals in various fields.

After receiving the report of a sudden increase in the incidence rate in Rotsville, the National Mental Health Center dispatched a backbone team to assist in the containment according to the corresponding mechanism.This backbone team consists of two psychiatrists, a senior nurse and a professional logistics support staff.

Of course, a team of four is not enough to accommodate double-digit or even triple-digit patients.The backbone team is not directly used to fill holes in the front line of fire - the role of these four people is to bring local medical staff from North America into the town of Rotsville, and let these inexperienced medical staff, Able to grow into a professional in a short period of time.

But the problem is that the manpower in North America is really not enough.After the team of four arrived in Rotsville, the support staff from the North American region was unable to arrive for a long time.It was difficult to carry out the training activities effectively. It was originally expected to add 40 people to the team, but only 18 people were added in the end.

The specialists supported by the National Mental Health Center began to carry out the task with a shortage of manpower, which was a difficult challenge for everyone.

The reason Director Li Xiaohui had to leave the base to help was an unfortunate accident.

A psychiatrist who came to support accidentally fell and injured himself on the way back to the dormitory after a hard day's work.After a medical examination, it was discovered that the doctor had broken his tailbone and also broken his left humerus.

Although not life-threatening, such an injury did make it impossible for him to continue to work.The North American region can't even deploy ordinary medical workers, let alone immediately transfer an expert doctor with the same rich experience.

The National Mental Health Center also understands the difficulties of colleagues in the North American region, and they put forward the proposal of "re-deploying staff from the health center" very empathetically.

But this is an emergency after all, and manpower deployment also takes time.Director Li Xiaohui became the closest and highest-ranked psychiatrist to Rotsville.

Her mission was to go to the town of Rotsville to meet with colleagues at the shelter and then cover for the day.Wait until the next day, when colleagues from the National Mental Health Center are in place, and then leave Rotsville by yourself.

It sounds easy.

Out of humanitarian considerations, but also out of respect for a doctor's lofty vocation.Schmidt, the chief officer of the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau who is in charge of security, agreed to Director Li Xiaohui's request to go to support, but he also put forward his own request-five senior officers and twelve security robots will conduct an investigation on Director Li Xiaohui. Close protection.She must fully obey the safety instructions of these five senior operators when she goes out to perform her duties.

Director Li Xiaohui commented on this arrangement, "The most popular star of the girl group did not receive this kind of treatment from us." I am not dissatisfied with this arrangement at all - after all, safety is the most important thing.

Director Li Xiaohui was escorted out of the North American Institute.The bulletproof car that drove her away happened to pass by the SUV that sent Yang Weimin.

When Lao Yang came back, he looked very relaxed.It was as if he had just been away on vacation.

But this relaxed state can basically only be maintained until he sees Watanabe's brain.

[I'll fuck your mother, I'll fuck your mother, I'll fuck your mother] As soon as he saw Yang Weimin, Watanabe greeted Yang Weimin very warmly.The greetings were too warm and intensive, and Yang Weimin even felt a little guilty at first—it was either Lu Chen expressing his opinion to himself, or Watanabe's treatment progressed slowly these days, and he couldn't wait any longer.

However... even a clay figurine has to be angry.After being scolded by the four-character scripture for half an hour, Yang Weimin finally couldn't bear it anymore.He slapped the table violently, pointed at Watanabe who was soaking in the normal saline tank, and cursed, "If you scold me again, I won't be polite!"

Lu Chen reminded very "kindly" from the side, "The auditory system has not been connected yet, and Watanabe only has vision now."

Yang Weimin glanced at Lu Chen, angrily found a piece of A4 paper, and wrote a huge "FUCK YOU" on it with an oil-based pen to protest.

Then got no response.

Lu Chen felt that Watanabe probably died.Still, his brain's brainwave activity was at a somewhat subtle level—smoother than that of sleep, but more active than a piece of bacon.Such a level of brain wave activity made it difficult for Lu Chen to make a clinical diagnosis of "brain death".

You say that he shows no sign of being alive at all, but there is indeed brain wave activity.But if you want to say that he is still alive, this kind of brain wave that is more vegetative than a vegetative is really hard to know.

Lu Chen pondered all night, and then prepared several plans.

A more peaceful plan is to use citicoline to improve Watanabe's brain metabolic cycle, and at the same time give the brain some caffeine in an attempt to stimulate Watanabe's brain activity.

A more violent solution is to increase the temperature—increase the temperature of the artificial blood infused into the brain from 36.5 degrees Celsius to 37.5 degrees Celsius, and increase the temperature of normal saline appropriately to dilate blood vessels and improve circulation in the brain.

The most dangerous option is electric shock - many neurons in Watanabe's brain are currently in a dormant state.A well-timed shock might get them back to work.

"What are you doing so much trouble for? Shock him." Yang Weimin, who was scolded impatiently, made a quick decision, as if he wanted to burn Watanabe's brain directly with an electric shock. "Pay attention to the intensity of the electric shock, and start with a relatively low intensity."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, reduced the electric shock energy by [-]%, and then pressed the button suddenly.

[I'll fuck you, I'll fuck you, I'll fuck you...] Watanabe's "swearing" went from fast to slow under the control of electric shocks, and finally stopped on the letter "C" on the virtual keyboard.

[Fuck me, fuck me] For the first time since reconnecting the optic nerve, Watanabe's "speech mode" has changed.However, neither Lu Chen nor Yang Weimin could figure out whether this change was good or bad.

"Would you like to come again?" Lu Chen suggested, "The brain wave waveform may look a little better than before, and the electric shock seems to be effective."

"Let's talk later." Yang Weimin said with a frown, "Let's stimulate Watanabe with other things first... What can make people excited just by looking at it?"

Lu Chen looked at Yang Weimin, opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Yang Weimin noticed Lu Chen's change keenly, he slapped his thigh suddenly, "You have a good idea!"

Lu Chen widened his eyes and pointed at his own face, meaning "I haven't said anything yet".But Yang Weimin had already turned around and turned over his computer.

"What type do you think this old boy Watanabe likes?" Yang Weimin said to Lu Chen while looking for it, "Pure love, black silk, ex-wife, moron, or retro VR?"

A doctor once summed up his work content in this way, "If watching porn can really relieve the patient's condition, I can help him find the resource area." But this kind of statement is more often a kind of " metaphor".

Really use this kind of thing to activate the brain?Lu Chen took a deep breath. In the future, pornography will also be considered as a prescription drug, and you must have a doctor's prescription to watch it...?
