The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 165: Scenery on the Left Bank (Part 1)
Time flows slowly. The difficult times are always so long. Finally, the huge machine placed in the corner of the room buzzed and the new internal organs were made. Dr. Tao Xie came over. Observing the pink organs soaked in the tissue fluid, he nodded: "It's finally over. This machine is the latest product of the black olive branch. It has not been approved by the International Medical Ethics Committee, but it is suitable for this occasion. , Surgery will begin in one hour. The shelf life of these organs is relatively short, and blood vessels and nerves must be connected as soon as possible."
"You must have a large enough 3D printer. You can use a cell as a basis to print out a complete person, right." Aqiwei couldn't help asking,
"It's not that simple, Miss Panthill." Dr. Tao Xie replied, "Although each cell carries complete genetic information, according to the working principle of 3D printing, a suitable The basic material, that is, the specific cells that make up each part of the organ, it is unrealistic to reproduce the cell differentiation process from one cell and create a variety of specific cells, unless the original cell of each part of the human body is directly obtained, that is, With Mr. Gu Tie’s organs as a reference, we can create his new organs. It’s impossible to create a person from a cell. If you copy a person...it’s not that difficult."
Rainforest’s Flower Road: “Then this is not the ultimate method of medicine. Any disease can be cured by brain transplantation. Unless the brain disease, the body breaks down and throws it away. OMG, this is a scene in a science fiction novel. ……"
Dr. Tao Xie said with a wry smile: "Let’s not mention the sky-high cost of 3D cell printing. Let’s take cancer patients as an example. Changing the body can cure cancer, but cancer in humans is the dual effect of genetic defects and external inducements. No body can change these two basic factors, and the disease will happen again."
"But surgery can treat cancer by cutting off the lesion." Aqiwei said,
"It is not a cure, but a delay of death. Today, with such advanced human medicine, cancer cannot be completely cured. From a theological point of view, this disease is planted by God in the blood of Adam and Eve who fled the Garden of Eden. Punishment.” The doctor sighed softly. “By the way, brain transplantation is the most difficult hurdle in this line of thinking. So far, there have been no successful cases of whole brain transplantation in the medical field. Only the former Soviet scientists in the last century Some experiments on monkeys showed that the macaques with new brains transplanted died a week later. People once thought that the brain center was an immune exception area and would not produce serious rejection reactions, but the test results proved that this conjecture was wrong and rejection. In another form, the brain's glial cells can't grow normally at all, and connect correctly with the receptor's neurons. Even if the blood vessels proliferate, the brain's nerve function cannot be restored."
"I didn't understand..." Aqiwei said in confusion,
"To put it simply, it’s the brain that rejects this body and doesn’t want to work. The brain is a very willful thing. No one dares to really understand it. The body is made up of exactly the same cells, and it is difficult to transplant the brain successfully. The brain will close the door of the senses and kill itself..." Dr. Tao Xie said, shrugging helplessly: "But the brain exists independently and limited thinking is feasible. , Will it feel more relaxed without a body."
The conversation is over and the operation has begun. Aqiwei waited quietly outside the house. Two hours later, Dr. Tao Xie pushed open the door: "It’s smoother than I thought. He’s all right. Just rest. In two weeks, let the adhesion of blood vessels, muscles, fascia and nerves grow firmly, and Mr. Gu Tie can be alive and kicking as before."
"...Thank you, doctor." Rainforest Flower was silent for a while, and whispered,
"It is my honor." The doctor replied, "In addition, if you find any abnormalities in your body in the future, you must contact Black Olive Branch immediately, and I will answer all questions."
Aqiwei looked at him puzzledly, and Dr. Tao Xie gave an unexplained smile,
Twenty-eight hours later, Gu Tie woke up. He opened his eyes and felt that the eyeballs were sticky and uncomfortable. When he wanted to say something, the oxygen tube in his mouth pressed his tongue again, and he immediately realized that he was right. Soaked in a pale pink liquid, with catheters all over the body, no muscle can move,
"Idiot, you're all right." Aqiwei's voice sounded, and Gu Tie rolled his eyes in surprise, not seeing where the rainforest flower was, "Listen to me, you just finished a major operation, and it's preliminary now. During the critical period of healing, the doctor used some muscle relaxants to prevent your blood vessels from rupturing when you move around. You can come out after two days of rest. Don’t move, don’t talk."
Gu Tie winked vigorously, and turned around, "I can't understand, and I won't find you a sight-catching mouse." Aqiwei said, "Lie down honestly. It hurts, your body is very healthy now."
The pain has indeed disappeared. Now the body is full of numb and itchy sensations. It is a sign that the capillaries and nerve endings are healing, but this is not what Gu Tie wants to say. The one sentence he wants to ask is "Love baby and Where is her ghost team." He always apologizes to the blond little Lolita and the friends in the Polish branch. The ghost team was born and died for him, but he could not protect them. This sense of powerlessness made Gu Tie's heart. Very uncomfortable,
Since I can’t think of it, I can only close my eyes and rest my mind. This time there is no signal from the quantum network. He can’t log in to the "world" nor return to the Pure Land. Life... sigh, Gu Tie shut Close your eyes and fall asleep again,
Forty-four hours later, the lid of the life-sustaining capsule was finally opened, and the **** man sat up and couldn't wait to pull out the catheter from his body, "Don't move, you will hurt the esophagus wall." The male nurse Yelled, rushed to hold him down, and slowly pulled out the diversion tube. Gu Tie couldn't help but retching, covering his heart and shouting: "Aqiwei, Aqiwei."
"I'm here, don't worry, move slowly, stupid."
Rainforest Flower said, she was standing next to the survival cabin, wearing a black high-necked tights, dark blue jeans, a red beret on her head, silver hair hanging from her ears, and her white cheeks rising. Blushing with excitement, Gu Tie grabbed her hand, for fear that she would slip away from her palm and hold it tightly, "Are you okay, you are not injured, great..."
"Of course I'm fine, but you have six heart failures, and you have been on the line of life and death for three days, idiot." The woman was unaccustomed to pulling out her hand, but as soon as Gu Tie's fingers were hard, she gave up In order to resist, "The doctor said that you can move freely from today, but no matter what you do, you can’t use too much force. I heard no."
"I know, I know." The Chinese curled his lips and turned his head to look and smiled: "It's Tao Xie, long time no see, you saved me."
Doctor Tao Xie bowed: "Where, Mr. Gu Tie, this is far from enough to repay your help to the black olive branch."
"I can talk about the scene, I never knew I would get a discount when I bought technical materials." Gu Tie smiled, "This is the legendary cell-level 3D printing technology." He looked at the large wall corner. Machinery,
The doctor replied: "Yes, the operation is very smooth, and of course there will be no rejection. The incision has been closed with a protein zipper. As long as you don’t exercise vigorously, it will not crack. You may experience dizziness and reflex in the past few days. Phenomenon such as vomiting, which is a sequelae of neurosurgery, will gradually disappear."
Gu Tieyi forcefully jumped out of the life-sustaining capsule, moving his body, "Well, it's really good, there is a feeling of rebirth."
"Iron." Aqiwei reminded,
"Hmm." The Chinese turned to her and smiled,
"That...clothes..." Rainforest Flower pointed to his lower body,
The Chinese smiled sullenly and said: "The patient should be naked, Dr. Tao Xie, don't you? Anyway, who has never seen anyone naked... In Central Africa, peeping at you in the bath was the only one of us. Enjoy... By the way, Tao Xie, my implanted chip is okay, if it interferes with the nerve signal input and output of the medulla oblongata, it will be troublesome."
"Of course, I found that you made some changes to the chip, but it was well preserved and no damage was received. You entered the'world' and stayed for dozens of hours during the coma. Don't you have any impression." Tao Xie The doctor said,
"Really." Gu Tie was stunned for a moment. "It's a bit vague. I thought it was an illusion caused by pain. It turned out to be like this..."
Aqiwei threw a set of clothes on his head and shouted: "Wear your clothes before you speak, you exhibitionist."
In the evening, a small-scale banquet was held in the living room on the third floor of the shipping office. The dishes consisted of Italian-style olive oil lettuce salad, roasted tomatoes, garlic bread, red sausage, pasta with cuttlefish sauce and Napoli pizza is the main ingredient, and an unremarkable male nurse arranged a table of sumptuous dishes and selected a few white wines produced in northern Italy.
"I don't like the taste of Pinot Noir." Looking at the wine label, Gu Tie complained,
"This is your drink." Azwei pushed a large cup of mixed nutrient solution in front of him. This yellow-green mixture with solid lumps always makes people vomit, but it is good for body recovery. It couldn't be better,
Gu Tie sniffed the cup with a bitter face, "Well, then I want to make a toast first."
He stood up and raised his glass: "In order to sacrifice his companions on the battlefield, the loyal ghost squad, the blonde from far away Poland, the stubborn George, the reliable Bot, the hard-fought old Guice, and how much is it with me? Like Terry the clown, may their souls be immortal in heaven."
"How do you know..." Aqiwei was stunned,
"You have been avoiding me since I woke up. You must have not had time to take them out." Gu Tie's eyes flickered, "I will bear this guilt, and for them, to live better, cheers. "
