Mechanical Doctor

…

Late at night, Manolin’s workshop.

As usual, the workshop with few people was unusually “lively”.

The sounds of various levers, gears, pistons and other mechanical parts when in operation seemed to play a hymn together.

In addition, there was the faint wailing of the experimental materials as accompaniment.

“Teacher, this is today’s experimental log.”

“Well, you’ve worked hard, go back and rest.”

Manolin stopped the work at hand, picked up Aqir’s experimental log, and began to read it carefully.

Aqir’s main job every day is to observe the three guys who conducted soul experiments.

These two days, Condlet, the former president of the Mechanical Enthusiasts Association, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and the situation was a little bad, which forced Manolin to speed up the research on the complete mechanical body.

Speaking of which, Manolin is also a miracle doctor in terms of medical skills.

Not to mention those minor problems that can be seen in daily life, even some difficult and complicated diseases, Manolin can also treat one or two with conventional methods.

If he uses unconventional methods (replacing the part that has a problem), he can cure most diseases.

But he can't do anything about brain diseases.

For example, Manolin has no way to cure Alzheimer's disease and George's mental illness.

There is no way. The human brain is already quite complicated, and what makes matters worse is that the brain in this world is also related to the soul.

If the brain is just a simple material organ, Manolin can also use mechanical simulation to make a mechanical brain to replace part of the patient's brain tissue - if you make a mechanical hard drive with a human brain, then Manolin can repair this mechanical hard drive by replacing parts such as the magnetic head and motor.

Of course, this is the last choice after being forced, because simply replacing brain tissue in this way can easily cause damage to the soul.

For example, those servitors and main brains who have undergone frontal lobotomy surgery will become soul-depleted after removing part of their brain tissue.

Therefore, Manolin placed his hope of curing these brain diseases on soul experiments.

If this experiment succeeds, then from now on, as long as it is not related to the soul, Manolin can pat his chest and guarantee that he can cure any disease.

[Memory test - passed. ]

[Intelligence test - passed. ]

[Emotion test - passed. ]

[……]

After reading the experimental log, Manolin, who was worried, went to the cell where the three of them were imprisoned to observe them carefully.

At this time, the three people looked the same as the servitors.

The difference between them and the servitors is that the servitors have a living human brain in their heads, while these people have only extremely complex mechanical brains in their heads.

Manolin said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, it seems that the next stage of the experiment can be carried out."

"Come on, scumbags, I keep my word. As long as you can survive the experiment, your death sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment."

Hearing this, the eyes of the three experimental materials who have become completely mechanical bodies light up slightly.

"Ha!"

After a light chuckle, Manolin turned around and left the prison where the experimental materials were imprisoned.

In fact, Manolin did not tell the three experimental materials that if the experiment went well, the three of them might be immortal.

Life imprisonment + immortality, the two conditions added together, it's terrifying to think about it.

...

Sitting back at the table, Manolin began to plan the next stage of the experiment.

"In the next stage, the pain caused by the injection of the mysterious liquid should be reduced, at least to a level that ordinary people can accept. In addition, this mysterious liquid needs to be analyzed and strive to be able to be artificially synthesized..."

He paused when he wrote this.

Manolin was somewhat troubled by these subsequent plans.

As for how to reduce the pain caused by the mysterious liquid, Manolin has several methods.

For example, use anesthetics to make the patient unconscious, or directly temporarily cut off the patient's pain nerves, or give the patient some magic painkiller potion...

There are many different methods. As for which one is more effective and has fewer sequelae, it still needs to be tested to get the result.

Anyway, he had captured so many void pirates a few days ago, so he still had enough experimental materials.

What really troubled him was the problem related to this special liquid.

All Manolin knew now was that this special liquid would make the soul separate from the body after being injected into the body of a creature, and make the soul still exist for a certain period of time after being separated from the protection of the body.

As for this special liquidHow this was done, Manolin had no idea at all.

To him, this liquid was like a black box, full of unknowns.

Just like the empirical medicine of ancient countries in the past.

People learned through experience that eating certain animals or plants or performing certain behaviors could cure some diseases.

But people had no way of understanding how this disease was cured.

In this case, the ancients generally used "I think" to explain everything.

For example, the theoretical basis of "bloodletting therapy" in ancient Greek medicine - the theory of humors.

Ancient Greeks: "I think that human life depends on four liquids (blood, mucus, black bile and yellow bile), so people get sick because of the imbalance of these four liquids in the body."

Manolin naturally couldn't just "I think" like the ancients.

After all, he still wanted to not rely on the giant toad, and artificially create this special liquid - the giant toad is a living thing after all. If the giant toad suddenly died or ran away one day, wouldn't this liquid be continuously supplied?

In order to prepare for a rainy day, Manolin decided to invite some professionals to study this liquid.

…

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

Just when Manolin was about to continue the follow-up experiment, his communicator suddenly rang.

[Mr. Manolin, the people you are waiting for have arrived. ]

"Finally, I will go to greet them later."

The call was from the officer of the security regiment responsible for guarding the [Phase Transmission Device].

The officer was a little evasive when he spoke, which made Manolin feel a little funny.

Although his guests had a special identity, they didn't need to be so sneaky and make it look like a secret agent meeting.
