darkest personality

Chapter 207 207. Heart of the Machine
Shuguang District, at the entrance of a city hospital.

Qin Yang was leaning on his classic car, wearing the black trench coat from last time, with a thin figure, and his decadent Japanese-style long hair was pulled back and tied into a ponytail.

He was playing with a few silk threads with his hands again, flexibly knotting them and then unraveling them, repeating over and over again.

Seeing Bai Ye get out of the taxi, Qin Yang put the silk thread into the pocket of the windbreaker, showed a big smile, and greeted him, "Yoo! Bai Zhenxiang."

After getting into Qin Yang's classic car, Bai Ye wondered and asked, "I came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

"Are you busy? I can't ask you out to play if I have nothing to do?" Qin Yang lit a cigarette for himself. Hearing this, he raised one eye and looked at Bai Ye. "By the way, how is your Internet-breaking game? Is it over?"

He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if getting the number one in the full server was no different from going to the street to buy a cabbage.

"It's okay, the top ten should be no problem."

Bai Ye touched the tip of his nose and answered modestly.

Qin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cigarette in his mouth, he turned the steering wheel in one hand, took out two badges from the inner pocket of the windbreaker with the other, threw one of them to Bai Ye and said, "The hospital organizes a visit to 'Second Life' to study. , I think you should be interested, so I applied for a spot for you."

"Second Life" is a world-renowned medical technology research and development company, and its main research achievement is the "mechanical heart" that claims to be able to cure all diseases and endow the human body with new life.

Although this technology has been oriented to the society since the end of last year, the purchase cost of up to 1 million Huaxia coins is not affordable by ordinary people.

Moreover, the 'Second Life' company is also relatively low-key, and rarely conducts technical exchange meetings with the outside world. Limited to the fact that it may be able to cure its own 'strange disease'.

Qin Yang is a cardiac surgeon at a hospital in the city. It is reasonable and logical for the hospital to send him to Second Life, a very authoritative company in heart research, to exchange and study.

……

The company headquarters of "Second Life" is located in the seaside area of ​​Huanhai City. Adhering to the company's mysterious and low-key style, the construction of the company building is also simple but not simple. The "Phantom World Engine" of the online game "Pale Dawn" - the kind of landmark building full of sci-fi feeling is completely incomparable.

After the car got off the Huanhai Elevated Highway, it came to a building with a silver-gray appearance that looked like the letter 'H'.

In front of the company is a small square, and in the middle of the square stands only an abstract heart sculpture made of alloy.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot of the building, Bai Ye and Qin Yang took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor of the 'Second Life' company.

As mentioned earlier, the "Second Life" company building is simple but not simple. It looks ordinary from the outside, but when entering the building, Bai Ye found that the sense of technology inside is very strong.

Although the lobby area on the first floor is not small, most of the 'staff' working in it are simulation machines, and efficient and silent drones shuttle back and forth overhead.

In the center of the foyer, a giant bust of a man in his fifties has been created using virtual projection technology, wearing a white study suit with the company logo of "Second Life" and his black hair combed back. He put his hands on his chin in a thoughtful state, and looked forward with his eyes full of depth and firmness.

"Professor Zhou Yucheng, he is the one who developed the 'Mechanical Heart' technology." Qin Yang seemed to have done his homework before coming here, and introduced from the side: "He is my senior alumnus, and he also graduated from Huanhai Medical College before. It is said that he also worked in a city hospital for a while when he was young..."

Bai Ye stared at the projection of the bust of Professor Zhou Yucheng for a while, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked more and more familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Today's study tour, do we have a chance to meet Professor Zhou?"

He didn't doubt his feelings, thinking that when the two met face to face, maybe he could recall where he had seen him.

"Just kidding, Professor Zhou is very busy, how could he have time to visit the company with us?" Qin Yang shouted exaggeratedly, and then reminded Bai Ye: "Taking advantage of today's opportunity, don't forget to report to the company Ask the staff about purchasing a mechanical heart."

While talking, some of Qin Yang's colleagues who got the opportunity to visit also came from the direction of the elevator, and Qin Yang went over to say hello to them.

When the people arrived, a female bionic person with the name 'Kara' on her chest politely led the doctors from the city's first hospital to visit the company building.

……

In a large laboratory on the second floor, Bai Ye and others finally saw the magical 'mechanical heart'.

This is an artificial heart with a metallic silver-gray luster, beating rhythmically and non-stop.

It seems that the whole body is made of some kind of special nano-material. With every beat, the surface will look like a sea of ​​grass blown by the wind, with countless fine metal particles appearing, rhythmic like waves.

"The mechanical heart technology is not a simple heart replacement surgery." Carla smiled and introduced to the few people present in a soft and soothing voice: "It will replace a complete set of circulatory system in the human body."

This whole set of circulatory system will cover all the organs and blood vessels that are directly and indirectly related to the heart, almost completely replacing the inside of the human body.

"If this is the case, what is the difference between changing a living person into a mechanically transformed person?"

Qin Yang spoke out at this time and asked a question that puzzled everyone.

It is illegal to mechanically transform people in China. Both the reformer and the transformed person will be punished by law once they are discovered.

Qin Yang's questioning voice was not small, and the female bionic Kara immediately turned her head to look at her, and answered with a smile: "That's not the case, we only replace the heart for patients, and other replacement treatments will be carried out by the mechanical heart. "She pointed to the rhythmic nano-metal particles on the surface of the mechanical heart, "There are hundreds of millions of nano-scale robots on the surface of the mechanical heart. After activation, they will automatically disperse into various organs and blood vessels of the human body for repair and protection. Work."

"We are currently only using this technology for patients with cardiovascular diseases. It is only for medical heart modification that does not violate the "Regulations on Human Body Modification" promulgated by China." Kara patiently explained the science to everyone. "Heart" content, "In addition to being used for treatment, our mechanical heart technology also has the effect of prolonging life. According to research, the average annual life span of human beings who replace the mechanical heart can be extended by about 30-50 years... ..."

After saying these words, the students present all made exclamations of surprise, and began to whisper among each other.

Although the level of science and technology in 2065 is already very advanced and developed, except for the wider range of diseases that can be solved in medical treatment, there has not been any technology that can directly extend human life.

If this mechanical heart is really as magical as Kara said, then its significance to human beings can already be described as epoch-making.
