The transformation of the 2nd stage of human benchmarking surgery is a long process.

In this first stage, the 1st Step is the most troublesome.

The nervous system is the slowest changing part of the human body. But at the same time, it is the most vulnerable part.

If it starts the benchmark Hua at the same time as other parts, then its transformation progress will definitely be left behind by other parts of the body.

The fragile nature of the neural network makes it too vulnerable to injury.

Actually, even the "immune cells" in the brain-the microglia as the neuron "Imperial Guard", the inflammatory response triggered by them is often regarded as a "long-term view" To be more destructive".

When human beings die, the central nervous system is the first to collapse.

Therefore, after the other parts of the body are benchmarked and the body temperature rises, the brain will not be able to stand it.

It is necessary to prioritize the transformation of the nerve system.

However, the transformation of neurons is very slow. In the biology laboratory, some viruses used to infect the brains of mice to complete various experiments can take up to a whole week to infect a small part of the brain tissue.

Yoggmov's modified rabies is indeed much faster, but it still needs a long wait.

Lu Xuanyu simply regarded this waiting as a kind of "cultivation." He began to find a way to entertain himself.

For example, deliberately staring at a glass of water, and then trying to find the "feeling of wanting to drink water."

On the fifth day after the operation, his wife finally applied for the opportunity to enter the ward.

Lu Xuanyu's immune system has already been shut down because of medicine. The pathogens carried by a normal person can easily kill him. He and his wife could only communicate with each other through chat tools, but there were not many opportunities to face each other.

Behind the heavy protective clothing, tears flashed in his wife's eyes: "You are really thin."

"It's normal." Lu Xuanyu laughed, "I still have to worry about it." There are a lot of viruses in my body. They help me reshape my body, and I provide them with food. It’s fair."

Lu Xuanyu’s wife patted her chest, her tone has several points of complaining: "Really...if it’s not Yoggmov I can’t believe it developed by my husband. I really have to use that many dangerous virus...really..."

"May not be used in the future." Lu Xuanyu said, "The transformation is complete. , These viruses are not a problem."

When the visiting time came, his wife said to him: "Listen to the doctors and nurses carefully... Eat more food..."

" OK, OK, don't worry. Experts tell me to worry less."

"Tsk."

"Okay, OK, let's go." Lu Xuanyu waved his hand.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the reason why people in the medical center arranged to meet on this day was because after today, his mental state is not suitable for face-to-face communication.

Florence, Yoggmov, and another doctor named Tao Enhai all told him about this.

A virus knocked into the cell's genome will rewrite the life activities at the bottom of his body. The modified cells will continue to produce thermostable enzymes that did not exist before.

These high-temperature enzymes are difficult to react at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius.

They will accumulate in the cell.

At this time, two effects appeared at the same time.

These new, non-working enzymes have diluted the enzymes that originally supported the declared reaction, resulting in low efficiency of the chemical reaction in the cell.

On the other hand, new instructions will require mitochondria to produce more energy to create an environment for new reactions.

Some cells may stop temporarily and enter a dormant state.

Some cells will "heat" themselves to a temperature that allows the new enzyme system to react.

Of course, technicians hope that "heating" will happen later.

Because, the neurons that have completed the transformation will not suffer much damage if they are dormant because of the low temperature. And the neurons that have not completed the transformation will die directly if they face the high temperature.

For many creatures, it is easier to "endure low temperatures below their own suitable temperature" than "endure high temperatures above their own suitable temperature".

Because of the low temperature, the metabolism of the cells that have been transformed first in his body will gradually decrease until they enter a state similar to "hibernation", which only maintains operation at a very low efficiency.

Because he first transformed the central nervous system, this effect will intuitively reflect on his consciousness.

His mood will become a little weird, and his spirit will get worse and worse.

Even in order to ensure that his transformed nervous system does not create too much heat, he ignites the metabolic fire belonging to the benchmark person in advance, and the nursing team will deliberately lower the temperature in his skull.

At the end of this stage, he must rely on the ventilator and even the external life support system to maintain life and operation.

At this stage, people undergoing remodeling operations are essentially entering a state of artificial "hyperthermia".

However, in a closely monitored environment, this "special hypothermia" will not lead to death.

Of course, before entering this state, he will be injected with new viruses.

Those viruses will transform his cardiomyocytes and skeleton muscle cells.

Next, he will spend time in a coma.

This process is carried out on a "month" basis.

When his heart beats slower and slower, other reforms can be carried out.

First of all, muscles and some internal organs.

Then the liver and other tissues that recover quickly.

The skin and mucous membranes are next.

The re-growth immune system will also undergo transformation during this period.

A week later, Lu Xuanyu found that he was beginning to pant a little.

The nursing team also began to gradually increase the oxygen content of the air in his room.

This relieved the symptoms a bit, but it didn't take a few days.

After another week, he became groggy.

Before the nursing team put him on the ventilator, he had a last word with his wife.

Ms. Florence will visit him every day. Even at this step, she did not forget to ask Lu Xuanyu to do the set of cognitive test questions.

The number of answers seems to have been reduced.

Lu Xuanyu's spirit is still passing day by day. He often falls asleep...

Well, in a sense, this should be "coma".

But Lu Xuanyu didn't really want to call this state "coma". His stalled brain cells still had a weak reaction. When he fell asleep, there were still dreams in his mind.

Perhaps because the brain cannot function completely, Lu Xuanyu's dreams are vague and ambiguous.

But he was sure that it was a dream full of hope.

In the end, he entered a long dream.

The people from Superman Enterprise no longer wake him up to ask about his intentions. By this step, Lu Xuanyu has no way to withdraw from the project. If he insists on stopping the transformation, only death awaits him.

Martial Artist had a long dream without being disturbed.

In his dream, he saw the strange roar that lingered in his childhood.
