From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Of course, if it is on the hot search abroad, it is obviously also on the hot search in China.

However, there were many hot searches, and he was used to it, so naturally he didn't care too much.

The problem of EDA software is solved, and there are not many problems facing him at present, and he naturally puts his mind into the things he is planning to study.

That is artificial nerves.

This thing involves neurology, and his knowledge in this area is not enough, after all, his biology is only level 1.

Now that he has officially entered biology, it can be regarded as a completely different world from the past for him.

Although chemistry belongs to the foundation of biology, it should be known that biology is also called life science, and the research is life after all.

The miracle of life does not lie in simple chemical reactions.

Especially neurology, which he now wants to touch on.

Neuroscience is on the list of the most difficult subjects in the world, and it was even ranked No.1.

Because in this subject, there are too many unknowns, and the foundation is also very complicated and cumbersome. There are many things that are simply difficult to study clearly, such as why people sleep.

As a behavior of the advanced nervous system, sleep still has many hidden mysteries in the whole process, which is also a problem that neuroscientists have always wanted to solve.

In addition to these problems, what neuroscience ultimately wants to explain is why consciousness exists.

This is something that neuroscientists dream of.

If only the electrical signals between nerves and the release of chemical substances between nerve synapses create "I think, therefore I am", this is obviously something that scientists do not want to believe.

But the final result still requires scientists to continue to explore the mystery.

However, Lin Xiao's goal is not to solve this ultimate problem, he just wants to simply create an artificial nerve.

"It's just, why did it come back to the issue of materials science?"

Looking at some papers on artificial nerves, Lin Xiao expressed emotion.

Probably, all practical application problems in the world will eventually fall on materials science, right?

Shaking his head, he recalled his need for materials.

Now that there is a room-temperature superconductor, what is lacking now is a material that can wrap the room-temperature superconductor and connect it directly to nerves.

First of all, this material must adapt to the conditions in the human body and will not cause health hazards to the human body; second, this material is small enough to be compatible with nerves; finally, this material must be able to conduct electricity.

"This is a bit difficult."

Lin Xiao thought in his heart.

Of course, although it is difficult, it does not mean that it cannot be solved.

What you need to know is that his current brain development rate has reached 9.95%, which is infinitely approaching 10%.

Because of the software function of intelligent detection of fake attacks, he gained 900 points of mathematics experience and 1000 points of informatics experience, and the informatics was upgraded from level 2 to level 3, in addition to 50 truth points.

Learning information to level 3 brought him 0.4% brain development, so his brain development reached the current value.

Although I don't know what it will be like when the brain development rate reaches 10%, but the current level makes him feel like a fish in water even if he comes into contact with neuroscience for the first time. He can understand it very easily. Various theories in neuroscience today.

"Well, let's go to the neural laboratory first."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao went directly to Dingguang Research Institute.

After the incident in January, when Shi Hao broke his spine, he asked to build a neural laboratory.

It is now May, and the neural laboratory has naturally been built, including various experimental instruments.

Along with that, five researchers in neurology were recruited, as well as more than 20 associate researchers, assistant researchers, intern researchers, etc.

When Lin Xiao came here, he met a researcher.

"Professor Chen." Lin Xiao looked at the professor and said with a smile.

Professor Chen's name is Chen Xuan, and he mainly studies neurology.

Neurology is not the study of mental illness, but a clinical medical discipline that studies the central nervous system.

In other words, those who study this are generally doctors.

So this Chen Xuan is also a doctor, and also the Chief Physician of the Department of Neurology of Union Medical College Hospital. A professor at the Medical University, who has done a lot of research on neurology. He has published four papers in two top journals in biology and medicine, Cell and The Lancet. He is a top-notch expert in China , even in the world.

As for why Lin Xiao was able to recruit such a big guy, it was mainly because of luck.

Because the laboratory instruments here are the most advanced in the country, and there is also the most advanced neuroclinical laboratory in the country. For Chen Xuan, who is mainly engaged in clinical operations, this luxurious laboratory is of great importance to some of his research. Very helpful.

When Chen Xuan saw Lin Xiao, he smiled and nodded to him, and said, "Director Lin."

Lin Xiao looked at the direction Chen Xuan was going, and asked, "Is there something urgent?"

"Well, there is indeed something urgent." Chen Xuan said: "There was an operation at two o'clock in the afternoon. The patient's spine was broken in a car accident and the nerve was injured. The hospital asked me to see if I can recover."

Although Chen Xuan became a researcher at the Dingguang Research Institute, he is still the attending neurologist of Union Medical College Hospital. It is not so easy for a doctor like him to resign.

After Lin Xiao heard Chen Xuan's words, his eyes flashed.

Car accident, spine?

Isn't this the same as Shi Hao?

He immediately said: "Professor Chen, I have an unfeeling request. Can I visit this operation?"

Chen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Of course, I can just tell the hospital. With your name, it is still very convenient."

But then he said: "But you have to know that our surgery is relatively bloody. People who see it for the first time may not accept it. Can you bear it?"

Lin Xiao said, "Of course it's no problem."

Not being able to stand the bloody scene was ultimately just a nervous reaction, and his brain was strong enough to suppress this discomfort.

Seeing what Lin Xiao said, Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's have lunch and get ready to go to the hospital."

Anyway, Lin Xiao was just looking at the surgery, not performing the surgery, so it wasn't a big problem.

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking and went to eat first. For Chen Xuan, surgery was an energy-consuming thing, so naturally he had to eat his fill first.

……

Soon, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xiao wanted to observe the operation, and Union Hospital quickly agreed.

Then Lin Xiao appeared in the operating room. Of course, he also put on special clothes for the operating room, a mask and a hat, and even slippers on his feet.

His appearance did not attract the attention of other people in the operating room. Except for Chen Xuan who was about to undergo surgery, no one else knew that he was Lin Xiao.

In order to prevent him from distracting other doctors and nurses, the hospital didn't tell them. It just said that Lin Xiao was here to observe the operation. This is very common in hospitals.

Just like that, Lin Xiao stood by and watched the operation begin.

He hopes that through this operation, he will have a more intuitive understanding of the spinal nerves.

Chapter 342 So close to the artificial nerve?

At the beginning of the operation, the anesthesiologist anesthetized first, and after waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, Chen Xuan picked up the scalpel from the tray next to him and started to operate on the patient's spine.

The blood flowed out in an instant, but Chen Xuan was naturally prepared for the method of stopping the bleeding, and immediately stopped the bleeding from the wound.

In neurosurgery, the surgical field of view is very important. After all, the nerves are so thin, if blood blocks the field of view, even the most powerful doctor will be helpless.

Of course, for a powerful doctor, the means to stop the bleeding are naturally not a problem, otherwise they would not be called a powerful doctor.

Obviously, Chen Xuan was also in this list.

Soon, the blood was sucked away, and the red flesh and white spine were already visible.

As Lin Xiao entered the operating room for the first time, seeing such a scene, he still felt uncomfortable.

However, he quickly used his powerful brain to divert his attention from the discomfort to the patient's surgical wound.

At this moment, he could already see the damaged spine inside, which was broken into two pieces.

And among the two severed vertebrae, there are many thin wires, which are connected by broken wires.

There are blood vessels and nerves!

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes to make his sight more focused.

Now his brain allows him to see these extremely tiny things with ease.

In addition, his computer-like brain also allowed him to quickly distinguish which two disconnected nerves or blood vessels were the same.

At the same time, Chen Xuan said, "A magnifying glass."

Then, a nurse next to him put a head-mounted thing on Chen Xuan. This is a head-mounted magnifying glass for surgery, which is very suitable for this type of surgery.

After Chen Xuan put on the things, he had a serious face and started the neurosurgery.

However, Lin Xiao showed a strange expression.

In that case, he also has the ability to become a top neurologist?

After all, his eyes can now distinguish things as small as 10 microns. In addition, his hands can even achieve a positioning accuracy of less than 10 microns. This ability is completely god-level for a doctor talent.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his heart. After all, to be a doctor still needs to be verified, and he is not interested in doing such a thing.

Without thinking too much, he began to think about what the artificial nerve should look like based on his past understanding of neuroscience and the real nerve in front of him.

"Perhaps, fiber materials would be a good direction? After all, they are nerve fibers..."

He rubbed his chin in thought.

In this way, time passed quickly.

During the first two hours of the operation, no one chatted. Of course, the main reason was that Chen Xuan didn't chat, and the others naturally didn't dare to chat.

But after two hours passed, Chen Xuan took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Liu, how was the operation on your calf nerve last time?"

A doctor next to him was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's not bad, the patient recovered quite well after the operation, and I heard that he can already walk on the ground."

"That's good. Anyway, during my operation, you should take a good look at it and study hard. I'm still waiting for you to help us share it in the future."

That doctor Liu said: "Haha, I will work hard and strive to achieve it."

"Ah."

Chen Xuan nodded.

And as Chen Xuan spoke, the dull atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became lighter.

As the saying goes, in the operating room, if you don't say a word all the time, it means that the operation is in trouble and it's not easy to do, especially when the surgeon is silent, and if you chat and talk, it means that everything is under control Among them, if it is a local anesthesia operation and the patient's consciousness is still a little clear, maybe the doctor will say some funny jokes to make the patient feel more stable.

And next to Lin Xiao was a nurse, who also said to Lin Xiao: "Director Chen is really amazing, it was done so quickly."

Lin Xiao recovered from his thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes."

Looking at Chen Xuan's movements, he was almost done, and he was connecting the last broken nerve. He was very skilled, and he was worthy of being the chief physician of Xiehe Hospital.

Nerves have a dendritic structure. The central nervous system is the main trunk, and it will branch out into many branches. What Chen Xuan needs to do is to find these disconnected nerves and connect them all. If one is not connected, it may cause sequelae. In addition, these nerves are very small, so this kind of operation is more difficult.

Basically, though, the problem is gone.

At this time, the nurse looked at the eyes under Lin Xiao's mask and surgical cap again, and felt a little familiar. Before the operation, she didn't tell them who the person who came to visit the operation was or what his name was, so she asked Said: "By the way, which hospital are you from? Are you a doctor from 301 Hospital?"

She had stayed in 301 Hospital before, so she thought she had met Lin Xiao there.

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

The nurse was even more puzzled, so why did she feel that Lin Xiao was familiar?

But at this time, Chen Xuan called out again. It turned out that the last nerve had been connected, and it was time to prepare for finishing work. Let the nurse prepare.

The nurse immediately responded and went to her work.

After this operation, Lin Xiao also gained a lot.

He knows how to choose materials.

With a slight smile on his face, a confident face appeared on his face again.

At this time, the finishing work also began, mainly to fix the spine and then suture.

Next, whether the patient can successfully restore mobility depends on whether the recovery can be completed by the ability of nerve cells in the future, and drugs need to be taken during this period.

Lin Xiao estimated that today's surgery observation would be over, and this experience was also the first time for him.

However, when he turned his eyes to the patient's wound again, he was taken aback for a moment. He clearly saw that when the spine was fixed, there was a broken bone in the depth of the gap less than 0.1 micron between the broken spines. The nerves are not connected!
