There are two main reasons why Lu Xuanyu must wait until Lu Xuanyu has become a mature benchmark before proceeding with the prosthetic test.

One is the acquisition of neural signals.

As time goes by, some proteins will accumulate in neurons. At the same time, as the cell membrane is metabolized, some metal-based proteins will be embedded into the cell membrane composed of phospholipids.

These will gradually change the action potential characteristics of neurons.

Of course, all of this is imperceptible.

According to the existing records, the new benchmark person only feels that with the passage of time, their nerve reflexes will become faster and faster, and their brains will turn faster and faster.

The performance of the human brain will be improved to a certain extent.

This kind of change only occurs at the cellular level and hardly changes the structure of the neuron network. Therefore, it will not have much impact on people's self-awareness.

At least at this stage, there is no evidence that it will have a significant impact on personality.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is like "speeding up" one's brain.

And there is a huge benefit here-the electrical signal will become stronger and easier to be recorded by the instrument.

In addition, because metal-based organisms can use electric fields to maintain their life response, the problem of "electrode stimulation leading to inflammation of nerve tissue" can also be basically avoided.

The difficulty of brain-computer interface signal input disappeared.

The other one is to "reduce the body's rejection of the prosthetic body."

Humans will have an immune response to overwhelming majority "non-self" things. This is a matter of as it should be by rights.

No matter what foreign body enters the body, it will trigger a response from the immune system-not only germs or viruses, but also larger foreign bodies.

Of course, the "prosthetic body" is also included.

This mechanism is likely to be used to deal with larger foreign bodies such as parasites. Without this mechanism, human beings may not be able to evolve smoothly to today.

But today, this rejection of the prosthetic body has become a difficulty that the prosthetic body must face on the road to Dao Transformation.

This difficulty is also divided into many aspects.

For example, mechanical damage. "Inflammatory reaction", that is, local fever, redness and swelling after the body is injured, is often beneficial to the human body. It can control the reproduction of pathogens and allow immune cells to arrive quickly. However, it is not only pathogen infection that can cause inflammation, but any damage to cells can cause inflammation.

Including "foot sprains" or "muscle strains" without infection at all.

The prosthesis and the physical body are not originally integrated, so it is difficult to "seamlessly connect." During exercise, they will produce friction or stress, sustained mechanical damage, and a continuous inflammatory response. Frenzy immune cells will attack all tissues at the junction.

On the other hand, macrophages will also take the initiative to wrap those foreign bodies.

Traditional invasive implants can easily lose their original functions for this reason.

"——Of course, these problems will be resolved or alleviated as your body changes." Florence introduced: "This is the convenience of the benchmark person."

Lu Xuanyu’s wife covered her chest: "I still think it’s weird. It’s so dangerous...the body..."

At this moment, Lu Xuanyu is accustomed to the "scientist's way of speaking." nodded, said: "They just love to talk like this, just get used to it."

Florence continued: "In fact, traditional implants can already avoid this to a certain extent. . For example, biologically compatible materials."

"The human body-here specifically refers to the body of Homo sapiens-has a good affinity for titanium alloys. It is used as a femoral head, skull repair material or implant The packaging shell of the incoming radioactive source particles is not easy to cause inflammatory reactions. However, the performance of titanium alloy is destined to be unable to directly construct a complex system in the body."

"However, it is a benchmark for metal-based organisms. People are different. The biological affinity of overwhelming majority metals to benchmark humans has reached the level of titanium alloys to Homo sapiens. The affinity of metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, antimony, and tungsten is even higher. .Engineers can directly use your cells and electronic components to build machinery in your body-of course, Mr. Voight also has a project to study ways to adjust the human body’s affinity for different metals."

" In addition, the traditional prosthesis needs to contact the human body in a large area, and it is difficult to completely avoid the mechanical damage of the joint to the body during exercise. Therefore, the existing prostheses are generally nested and non-implanted. In the case of implantation, It can only be nailed directly to the bone. But forgive me to speak bluntly, the human skeleton does not need to undertake such additional tasks in the evolution stage, so it does not perform very well in the face of such tasks."

"However, the prosthetic body designed by our company is not the same..."

Florence clicked the button in his hand, and the content on the screen changed, showing that several shapes looked different. Big regular white parts.

"I use my own osteoblasts to culture and induce in vitro, and then 3D print them into implants that fit the human body. This'artificial skeleton' is loose and porous, with signal factors attached to the voids, which can induce the body itself Dense connective tissue is formed-there are even signal molecules that induce the generation of blood vessels. And it will become a "platform"."

In the screen, that part is reversed. Beneath the bony shell is full of mechanical structure.

“There will be metal wires that are compatible with the human body from here, and connect to your central nervous system.”

“In addition, metal-based organisms can maintain cell activity with electric fields. , So the weak current will not trigger the inflammatory response of the nervous system. The input and output system will be integrated on the surface of your brain-but at this stage there will not be much."

"The above is the description of this time For the entire content of the meeting, do you have anything else you don’t understand?"

Lu Xuanyu’s wife raised her hand and said, "This...that...if the'input problem' is solved... Then if a bad guy sends something to the chip implanted in his brain...bad things...that..."

"Your concerns are meaningful, but please don't worry." Foluo Lens said with a slight smile: "First of all, at this stage, we will not install a network card for the brain implant-it cannot directly receive external wireless signals, and will only process the signals of the prosthetic system itself through a wired connection. The security barrier between the body and the brain implant is personally grasped by our Boss. The security system is open to the supervision departments of various countries. Although for security reasons, the relevant departments of those countries will not disclose it to the public. Source code, but you can consult any country that you think is credible."

"In addition, countless'white hats' have participated in the testing of this security system."

"If you are not at ease with us, you can also use a system developed by a third party. As long as we follow the principle of'open to regulatory agencies for inspection', we do not exclude third-party development."
