"What?! Artificial nerve? Are you telling the truth?"
"Professor Lin, I don't study as much as you do, don't lie to me!"
In Lin Xiao's office, Ma Gaoliang, who was called over by him on the phone, looked at him in shock and said.
More than four months ago, Lin Xiao said that he would develop artificial nerves for Shi Hao, but it has only been so long, and now they have been created?
Especially when Lin Xiaozhong also studied a room-temperature superconductor?
Ma Gaoliang feels outrageous.
Faced with such a surprised Ma Gaoliang, Lin Xiao didn't waste any time, directly picked up an artificial nerve and waved it in front of Ma Gaoliang.
Ma Gaoliang's eyes also started to sway along with Lin Xiao's movements.
Lin Xiao found it interesting and shook it a few more times, and the amplitude became larger, and Ma Gaoliang's head also turned.
However, after turning 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 won't talk nonsense to you. I have already conducted experiments on monkeys before, cutting off the monkey's central nervous system, and cutting off this thing.
Connected together, the reaction of the experimental monkey after surgery proved that its behavior was basically unimpaired."
After hearing what Lin Xiao said, Ma Gaoliang asked: "So, can the experiments on monkeys be successfully used on humans?"
Lin Xiao said: "Whether it is humans or monkeys, nerves are transmitted through electrical signals and chemical signals, which are different from those drugs used in the human body."
"After all, drugs are absorbed, but artificial nerves are not used."
Ma Gaodian nodded and then asked: "Then what kind of material is this? Is it harmful to the human body?"
Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The inside is CCD-I, and the outside is wrapped with materials commonly used in the medical field, polyetheretherketone, which is insulated and resistant to high temperatures and has good toughness. It is very suitable for use."
Ma Gaoliang was stunned: "Normal temperature superconductor?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
Ma Gaoliang immediately asked: "Do the people who did the experiments on the monkeys 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, right?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, is there a possibility that I did this surgery?"
Ma Gaoliang was stunned again and shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Professor Lin, I have never heard that you can do this skill before. It can't be that you just learned it, right?"
Lin Xiao spread his hands, unable to directly say that he had just read the book for two days, so he simply said: "But it was indeed me who did it, so you don't have to worry about others finding out."
Looking at Lin Xiao's expression, it didn't seem to be fake. Ma Gaoliang suddenly opened his mouth: "Did you really do it?"
Lin Xiao smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, Director Ma, there is no need to say more 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 to do it as soon as possible, because I have already told Shi Hao so that he can prepare to stand up."
Ma Gaodian nodded: "I understand, I will report it to my superiors immediately."
"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded.
"Professor Lin, please rest assured that as long as it can be used, this artificial nerve will definitely be supported by the above. If it can make Shi Hao stand up, it will definitely be able to make other people with paraplegia of the lower limbs stand up as well. This
It is quite meaningful to many people around the world.”
Lin Xiao said: "Yes, I know."
Ma Gaoliang nodded, but suddenly asked: "By the way, for people with missing limbs, can we use artificial nerves to connect them, and then connect the artificial nerves to a metal prosthesis that can be driven by a motor, and then
At once……"
He looked at Lin Xiao and didn't say anything further, but just showed a look that every man could understand.
Just kidding, mechanical prosthetics are a man’s dream, okay?
Lin Xiao was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "It can be done, but it requires the translation of nerve electrical signals. After all, we don't know what the current sent by artificial nerves means.
"
"That's it."
Ma Gaodian nodded: "I understand."
"Um."
Lin Xiao said no more, and Ma Gaoliang also did not stay here. After all, he still had to help Lin Xiao apply for future clinical trials. In addition, clinical trials also had to find relevant paraplegic patients, and there were also requirements for the identity of the patients.
Maybe we can ask Shi Hao to come directly?
After all, Shi Hao is still a member of Guoan. Although he is a paraplegic, Guoan still pays him monthly wages as usual.
So Shi Hao's identity is very suitable.
In addition to these things, it is also necessary to choose who to perform the surgery. This is 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 left here quickly without stopping.
Lin Xiao looked at Ma Gaoliang leaving, remembered his proposal just now, and had other thoughts in his mind.
If mechanical prostheses can be realized, can mechanical prosthetic eyes also be realized?
For those who are blind, won't it be possible to restore vision after using artificial nerves to connect to a prosthetic eye?
In addition, there are many other functions.
But the problem remains, technically there is no way to know what electrical signal corresponds to what reaction.
So this still takes a long time.
Lin Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking about it. The next time he spent was waiting for news from Ma Gaoliang6.
…
A week passed quickly.
Unlike previous expectations that it would take a long time to launch clinical trials, this clinical trial is about to begin in just one week.
Because when the superiors learned that the thing to be tested this time was a room-temperature superconductor, they immediately showed great importance.
Just kidding, just the fact that it can help 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 family, it is even more devastating to the family.
In addition, there are many cases of paralyzed persons being separated from their families, which obviously damages the harmony of society and lowers the moral level of society as a whole.
And if these paralyzed people can be allowed to stand up again, then obviously these things will not happen, which will have a great effect on the harmony and stability of society.
Therefore, the above-mentioned officials certainly attach great importance to this matter.
As a result, the clinical laboratory was arranged, the surgery was arranged, and the patients receiving treatment were also arranged.
The patient is Shi Hao.
"Shi Hao, believe me, you will be able to stand up soon."
"Well, Professor Lin, I was already prepared after you called me that day."
Shi Hao, who was lying on the bed, smiled and nodded at Lin Xiao.
For Shi Hao, today is a day full of expectations.
As long as he goes in, he can stand up again. How can he not look forward to this?
He lay in bed for more than two months, unable to get out of bed. If his body's recovery ability was not strong enough, and he took very effective medicine every day, he was finally able to move a little in the third month.
Now, I can sit up.
However, the immobility of his lower body still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
But finally, in the fourth month, Lin Xiao called him and told him to get ready to stand up.
The two people nodded to each other, and then Shi Hao was pushed in.
Ma Gaoliang was also beside him, and said to Lin Xiao with a smile: "It seems that protecting you is quite good. If there is an accident, current medical technology has no solution, and then you can come up with a solution."
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "I'm not a god. If a person dies, I can't make someone live again, right?"
Ma Gaoliang smiled: "Maybe?"
He shook his head, and then said: "By the way, a large CCD-I production plant has been built, with a monthly output of 10,000 kilometers. According to the plan, superconducting cables are now being built in industrial centers across the country.
At that time, it might be able to stimulate the industry again.”
Lin Xiao nodded: "I understand."
"Well, in addition, the military research institute has recently developed something, a superconducting electromagnetic gun."
Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "How is the effect?"
"Ahem, it can probably extinguish a forest fire with a radius of fifty meters. Well, the range... bah, the maximum fire extinguishing distance is about one hundred kilometers."
Hearing this number, Lin Xiao was immediately surprised: "Okay."
Ma Gaoliang smiled, "The main reason is that CCD-I can greatly save space. In addition, the magnetic fluid thruster of nuclear submarines has also achieved results."
"Anyway, room-temperature superconductors are more useful than we imagined."
Ma Gaoliang sighed with emotion.
Lin Xiao also laughed.
Otherwise, how could he create artificial nerves?
He looked back at the door of the operating room, already looking forward to the final result.
In this way, the two of them chatted and several hours passed.
The door of the operating room suddenly opened and a doctor came out.
The doctor's face was full of disbelief.
Lin Xiao and Ma Gaoliang quickly walked up and asked, "How is the situation?"
The doctor looked at Lin Xiao, the shock on his face still not dissipated: "It was successful, it was really successful!"
He continued: "I didn't expect that artificial nerves could actually be created! It's really incredible!"
Listening to the doctor's shocked words, Lin Xiao and Ma Gaoliang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Look, this is the power of artificial nerves, which directly made the doctor so surprised.
At this time, another doctor came out and just called "Director Ma". Suddenly he saw Lin Xiao and said in surprise: "Professor Lin?"
Lin Xiao was stunned, "Professor Chen?"
This doctor is clearly the same Chen Xuan from before.
Lin Xiao had never known who the doctors were for this operation, but to her surprise, Chen Xuan was inside.
When Chen Xuan saw Lin Xiao, he was even more excited. He rushed up and asked, "Professor Lin, did you develop that artificial nerve?"
Lin Xiao touched her nose and said with a smile: "If nothing else happens, it will be me."
"really!"
Chen Xuan showed a surprised expression.
Lin Xiao had talked about this matter with him last week, and now he saw that it was actually Lin Xiao who had done it.
Chen Xuan had sincere admiration for Lin Xiao.
Artificial nerves, for neurologists like him, are completely magical!
"Okay, Professor Chen, tell me, Shi Hao, can he stand up?"
At this time, Lin Xiao interrupted Chen Xuan's thinking and asked.
Chen Xuan came to his senses, then nodded with a smile: "Of course!"
