From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"Hey, isn't the laboratory that Professor Lin entered into a living animal laboratory? What is he going to do?"

"Damn it, god knows."

These people were all curious, did Lin Xiao go to the live animal laboratory to conduct experiments on animals?

……

Amid the curiosity of everyone outside, Lin Xiao entered the laboratory, because it involved room-temperature superconductors, he couldn't reveal too much.

Likewise, he didn't seek help either. After all, he would never be able to find someone from the superconductivity laboratory. They don't know how to study biology, and they might feel uncomfortable when they see monkeys bleeding.

In this way, he entered the laboratory alone, and locked the door.

Turning his head and looking, there was already a cage inside, and there was a monkey looking around in the cage. When he saw Lin Xiao coming in, he moved to the edge of the cage and stared at Lin Xiao.

This kind of monkey is called cynomolgus monkey. It is a kind of monkey commonly used in experiments. It is relatively docile in character, so it is very suitable for experiments.

Well, it feels a bit like being bullied when you say it this way.

However, after all, it is scientific research, and it is also a helpless move.

Lin Xiao didn't care too much. After changing the equipment, he prepared an anesthetic, then opened the cage, controlled the monkey, and anesthetized its central nervous system.

After waiting for the anesthesia effect to take effect, the monkey collapsed on the ground, and because the central nervous system was anesthetized, it also fell into a deep sleep.

Then, he put the monkey on the experimental table, tied it with a strap, exposed its back, and then shaved all the hair on its spine with a shaving machine.

Then, he picked up the scalpel from the side.

Taking a deep breath, I didn't expect to see a surgery just a few days ago, and I was about to perform one.

Of course, the object of his operation was a monkey.

Recalling the basics of surgery and the monkey's nerves he had seen a few days ago in his mind, he stretched out his hand and began to cut open the spine above the monkey's tailbone.

Now, he wants to cut off the lower part of the monkey's central nervous system, and then wrap the CCD-I artificial nerve with polyether ether ketone in his hand, and then connect its nerves to see if the monkey can wake up again. , the lower body still has the ability to move.

As long as it succeeds, it means that his artificial nerve has succeeded!

Red blood flowed out. Lin Xiao recalled the introduction of hemostasis techniques in the basics of surgery, and he immediately used ligation to stop bleeding.

In three or two strokes, he ligated the bleeding point of the monkey's wound.

If Chen Xuan and that little doctor Liu saw this, they would be extremely surprised, because Lin Xiao's hand ligation and hemostasis technique was so precise, his hand was as steady as an ultra-high-precision servo motor.

That is to say, he is still a little behind Chen Xuan in terms of skills, but compared with Xiao Liu, he can completely surpass him.

And if they knew that Lin Xiaochun had achieved this through two days of theoretical study, they would probably be even more demented.

Of course, unfortunately, no one was able to visit the operation.

After the ligation is completed, the next step is to find the central nerve, cut it off and then connect the artificial nerve.

This step is more troublesome. After all, the central nervous system is hidden in the spine, so first a hole needs to be made on the monkey's spine, and then covered, just like a craniotomy.

Normally speaking, such a complicated operation can only be performed by doctors with at least many years of experience, let alone Lin Xiao.

But he insisted on relying on his extremely steady and precise hands, sharp eyes, and head with a brain development rate of 9.95%, to complete it.

"Huh, it's finally done."

Lin Xiao let out a long breath, and then let out a sigh of emotion: "As expected of neurosurgery, it is difficult!"

"Fortunately, I still studied two days in advance."

Then, an animal-specific surgical suture was applied, which prevents monkeys, animals with arms, from damaging the wound or tearing open the surgical thread.

After finishing everything, Lin Xiao put down his needle and thread and took off his gloves. The next step was to wait for the monkey to wake up. Of course, he still tied the monkey to the experimental table.

As time passed, the monkey's eyes opened, its fingers moved, and most importantly, its feet moved too!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao stood up in surprise.

Succeeded?

After waiting for a while, the monkey's range of activities became larger.

Especially its legs are constantly twitching!

Lin Xiao was even more surprised.

He severed the lower half of the monkey's central nerve, and if the artificial nerve hadn't worked, its lower limbs would have been immobilized.

And now, artificial nerves have obviously played a huge role!

Of course, there is one more critical step, which is to test whether the monkey can move normally!

That is, whether the movements of the lower limbs are coordinated with the upper limbs.

If the artificial nerve cannot accurately convey the nerve signals from the brain, then the movements of the upper and lower limbs cannot be coordinated.

And such artificial nerves obviously cannot be used on the human body.

So, next, it's time to witness the miracle.

He untied the monkey, grabbed it into a cage, and observed its behavior.

The final result proved that this monkey can still control its body perfectly!

Lin Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

It was Shi Hao!

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Professor Lin!"

The voice from the opposite side sounded, still upright and energetic, making it completely unexpected that the other party was actually a paraplegic.

But Lin Xiao controlled his surprise, and said something to Shi Hao that surprised him: "Shi Hao, you can stand up now!"

Chapter 344 Shi Hao, Can Stand Up Now!

"What?! Artificial nerves? Are you telling the truth?"

"Professor Lin, I don't study as much as you, so don't lie to me!"

In Lin Xiao's office, Ma Gaoliang, who was called by him on the phone, looked at him in shock and said.

More than four months ago, Lin Xiao said that he would develop an artificial nerve for Shi Hao, but it has only been so long, so it was created?

Especially Lin Xiao also researched a room temperature superconductor by the way?

Ma Gaoliang felt outrageous.

Facing Ma Gaoliang who was so surprised, Lin Xiao didn't talk nonsense, directly picked up an artificial nerve, and dangled it in front of Ma Gaoliang.

And Ma Gaoliang's eyes also swayed with Lin Xiao's swaying.

Lin Xiao thought it was interesting, so he shook it a few more times, and the amplitude became larger, and Ma Gaoliang's head turned accordingly.

But after turning around twice, Ma Gaoliang came to his senses, and said helplessly, "Professor Lin, stop shaking."

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly but politely, and then said: "Director Ma, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I have already conducted experiments on monkeys, cut off the monkey's central nervous system, and cut off this thing. Taken together, the post-surgery monkeys' responses demonstrated essentially no impairment in behavior."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Ma Gaoliang asked: "Then, can the experiments on monkeys be successfully applied to humans?"

Lin Xiao said: "Whether it is a human or a monkey, nerves are transmitted through electrical and chemical signals, which is different from those drugs used in the human body."

"Drugs are absorbed after all, and artificial nerves don't."

Ma Gaoliang nodded, and then asked: "Then what kind of material is this? Is it harmful to the human body?"

Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, no, the inside is CCD-I, and the outside is wrapped with a material commonly used in the medical field, polyether ether ketone, insulation and high temperature resistance, good toughness, very suitable for use."

Ma Gaoliang was taken aback: "A room temperature superconductor?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

Ma Gaoliang immediately asked: "Does the person who did the experiment on the monkey know that this is a room temperature superconductor? I remember that among the current insiders, there seems to be no one who can perform surgery?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, is there a possibility that I performed this operation?"

Ma Gaoliang was taken aback again, and shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Professor Lin, I've never heard that you can do this before. It can't be that you just learned it?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands, he couldn't directly say that he just read the book for two days, so he simply said: "But I did it, so you don't have to worry about being known by others."

Looking at Lin Xiao's expression, it didn't seem to be a fake, Ma Gaoliang suddenly opened his mouth: "You really did it?"

Lin Xiao smiled, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, Director Ma, there is no need to talk about this matter. I need to apply for a clinical trial now, but since it involves CCD-I, it still depends on how you arrange it." .”

"I need it as soon as possible, because I have told Shi Hao so that he can prepare to stand up."

Ma Gaoliang nodded: "I see, I will report to my superior immediately."

"En." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Professor Lin, please rest assured that as long as it can be used, this artificial nerve will definitely be able to get support from above. If it can make Shi Hao stand up, it will definitely be able to make other people with the same lower limb paraplegia stand up too. It's quite meaningful to a lot of people around the world."

Lin Xiao said, "Well, I know."

Ma Gao nodded, but suddenly asked: "By the way, if it is the kind of people with handicap, can we also use artificial nerves to connect them, and then the artificial nerves are connected to a metal prosthetic limb that can be driven by a motor, and then At once……"

He looked at Lin Xiao and didn't go any further, but just showed a look that a man could understand.

Just kidding, mechanical prosthetics, a man's dream, okay?

Lin Xiao was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "It can be done, but it needs to realize the translation of nerve electrical signals, after all, we can't know what the current from artificial nerves represents. "

"That's it."

Ma Gao nodded: "I see."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao didn't say any more, and Ma Gaoliang also didn't stay here. After all, he still has to help Lin Xiao apply for a clinical trial later. In addition, the clinical trial has to find relevant paraplegic patients, and there are also requirements for the identity of the patients. Maybe Shi Hao can come directly?

After all, Shi Hao is still a member of Guoan. Although he is paraplegic, Guoan still pays him a monthly salary as usual.

So Shi Hao's identity is very suitable.

In addition to these things, it is also necessary to choose who to find for this operation, or because of the room temperature superconductor. Of course, it is not necessary to declare that the artificial nerve is a room temperature superconductor.

Thinking of so many things, Ma Gaoliang naturally didn't stop and left here quickly.

But Lin Xiao looked at Ma Gaoliang who was leaving, and remembered his proposal just now, and other thoughts came to his mind.

If mechanical prosthetic limbs can be realized, can mechanical prosthetic eyes also be realized?

For those who are blind, wouldn't it be possible to restore vision after using an artificial nerve to connect a prosthetic eye?

In addition, there are many other functions.

But there is still the same problem. It is technically impossible to know what kind of electrical signal corresponds to what kind of response.

So it's still going to take a long time.

Lin Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking about it. The rest of the time was just waiting for news from Ma Gaoliang.

……

A week passed quickly.

Unlike the previous expectation that it may take a lot of time to start the clinical trial, this clinical trial is about to start in just one week.

Because when the higher-ups learned that the thing to be tested this time was a room-temperature superconductor, they immediately showed great importance.

Just kidding, the fact that it can make paralyzed patients stand up again is enough to attract attention.

A paralyzed person is a burden to any family. If the paralyzed person is the mainstay of the original family, it will be even more devastating to a family.

In addition, there are not a few cases of the family wives of the paralyzed people being separated. For the whole society, this obviously brings damage to the harmony of the society and lowers the moral level of the society.

And if these paralyzed people can stand up again, then obviously these things will not happen, which will have a great effect on the harmony and stability of society.

So, of course, the higher authorities attach great importance to this matter.

So, the clinical laboratory was arranged, the operation was also arranged, and the patients who received treatment were also arranged.

The patient is Shi Hao.

"Shi Hao, believe me, you will be able to stand up soon."

"Well, Professor Lin, after you called me that day, I was ready."
