"Mrs. Lu, have I told you about the anti-hypoxia experiment of metal-based organisms?" Xiang Shan asked Lu Xuanyu's wife.

Lu Xuanyu's wife is worried, but she still shook the head.

"We did this experiment." Xiang Shan both hands crossed near chest: "The most commonly used mouse in our company is C57Th, and this inbred mouse is called after metallization. As C57ThGO...Oh, if you don’t know what an “inbred line” is, then understand it as a stable group after continuous inbreeding. The mice in this group are almost clones, and there is no rejection reaction between each other. , You can transplant organs at will."

"C57Th and C57ThGO mice, only the part of the genetic information that is artificially transferred is different. They share all the genetic information native to Earth."

"If you put these two mice in an oxygen-deficient environment at the same time, guess what will happen?"

Lu Xuanyu's wife frowned: "Then... the metal-based organisms persist longer? "

Xiang Shan until now is all preaching the superiority of the benchmark, so she guessed that way.

"On the contrary." Xiang Shan shrugged: "When the carbon-based mouse was still anxiously hitting the cage, the metal-based mouse was already motionless. Higher body temperature requires more More energy to maintain, naturally needs more oxygen."

Lu Xuanyu's wife frowned: "Huh?"

"But the metal-based mouse just entered The hypoxia-inducing factor in its body is re-encoded, and the process of its action is not exactly the same as that of protists, and it will cause less damage to the nervous system. The metal-based biological cell level is resistant to damage. Ability is stronger."

"Ah, speaking of which is the'hypoxia-inducible factor' or the result of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine? The normal function of hypoxia-inducible factor is in hypoxic environment It promotes cells to reduce consumption. But in specialized cells like nerve cells, it seems to cause damage."

"This is actually well understood. Metal-based organisms retain aerobic respiration At the same time, it also has a mechanism of'directly extracting electric field energy.' This metal-based organism may face situations where there is no oxygen and it can sustain life entirely on electric fields."

"Just like yeast can Just as freely switching between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration, metal-based organisms may also have the function of switching between "aerobic respiration chemical energy" and "electricity"."

"Hey, I seem to I digress again. All in all, the benchmark person has many anti-mechanical abilities such as'resistance to mechanical damage' and'immediate death in hypoxia'. The craniotomy is not as dangerous as the current Lao Lu."

Lu Xuanyu's wife frowned: "I know...I just can't help but worry."

"There is nothing to worry about." Xiang Shan moved his eyes and checked the time displayed on his smart glasses: "You can see him soon."

At this moment, the warning light on the operating room went out.

Lu Xuanyu's wife ran over, but when the door opened, a wave of heat rolled in. She couldn't help but backed up two steps, reclosed the zipper of the "air conditioning suit", and pulled it near her nose.

After a while, Lu Xuanyu was retreated from inside. Tao Enhai came out following behind. There were slight changes in his skin color and pupil color, and he stayed in the hot operating room without protection.

Obviously he is also a benchmark person.

Tao Enhai just changed his surgical gown. He laughed to Lu Xuanyu's wife and said: "The operation was very successful."

Lu Xuanyu's wife just patted her chest. Although Mr. Xiang told her a lot of complicated principles just now, nothing is more reassuring than this sentence.

Xiang Shan followed Lu Xuanyu’s bed with his hands on his back, and said hello: "Old Lu, how do you feel?"

"Weird." Lu Xuanyu said. .

Lu Xuanyu’s wife was taken aback, and hurried to catch up, and said: "Did you not take anesthetics?"

"It was hit, but the strength seemed to last for a while... …" Lu Xuanyu said: "They still chat with me and show me videos."

Lu Xuanyu's wife looked at Xiang Shan in surprise. Xiang Shan grinned: "Everyone who performs the operation knows that the doctors and nurses on the operating table are talking and laughing, indicating that the disease is very common and the operation is very simple. If the doctor is serious, then it is a major event. This is only on the surface of the brain. The small operation of sticking electrodes without cutting the nerve is really easy."

"It doesn't hurt?" Lu Xuanyu's wife stared at the top of Lu Xuanyu's gauze-wrapped head.

"Fortunately...the anesthetic at first is very powerful...It is probably the short time that I opened my head..."

Xiang Shan explained: "You didn't sleep. This time does not involve general anesthesia. Later, while chatting with you and performing the surgery, it is also to confirm that the electrodes will not compress your brain and produce adverse reactions."

Lu Xuanyu's expression is strange: "I didn't I went to sleep... but my skull was opened..."

"Modern anesthesia technology is like this. You only had a small part of your brain at the time." Xiang Shan smiled and said: "Remember to put it at night Today’s cognitive test was done. Tomorrow we will talk about your next project."

Listening to Xiang Shan’s words, Lu Xuanyu fell asleep again.

After waking up at night, Lu Xuanyu just ate something casually, and the top of his head still hurt. After finishing the cognitive test, he fell asleep again.

On the 2nd day, Xiang Shan came again with a person.

"Yo Old Lu, how are you resting?" Xiang Shan patted the shoulder of the person next to him: "I will introduce you a new friend. Chen Feng, Senior Brother Chen, Old Chen...how It's all right. My alma mater is next to the university."

"Your alma mater is next to...Ah."

People in the Republic basically know which university Xiang Shan is from. Xiang Shan himself is a world-class scientist and the most successful businessman in China. He is a rich generation from scratch. The "only myth" with today's academia is his best friend. He has achieved both the "academic" and the secular "wealth". Peak, very legendary color.

Of course, Tsinghua University doesn’t mind the ramblings when enrolling students.

As for Tsinghua’s next door, it can only be the university alongside it.

Lu Xuanyu muttered in his heart: Isn’t it Peking University? Why go around such a big circle.

"Old Chen started his career as a researcher on visual cognition. Now he is researching in the company the "changes in high level thinking activities when performing complex procedural actions". He is indispensable for the ability of the prosthetic body to move. ."

"Of course, Old Chen has another identity-he is a member of the Peking University Wushu Association and a martial artist! You must have a common language."

Chen Feng held Lu Xuanyu's hand with a flash of light in his eyes: "Mr. Lu, I have been admiring the name for a long time."
