From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

After his careful resection, he finally managed to keep the monkey's brachial plexus intact.

The next step is to install the shoulder-arm connector, which requires the use of bone nails, which are directly inserted into the bone, and then the shoulder-arm connector is installed.

At this step, Lin Xiao directly took out the electric drill.

Probably, if the monkey suddenly woke up now, it would probably regret that it had woken up. Just think about the horror when the doctor took out the hammer and smashed it when the wisdom teeth were pulled out.

And so the operation continued.

until six hours later.

……

After installing the last mechanical leg, Lin Xiao finally wiped the sweat off his brow, and then looked at the monkey in front of him.

The originally hairy right arm and left leg were suddenly replaced with metallic mechanical prosthetics.

Especially for the part of the manipulator, the metal joints are very distinct, full of a strong sense of mechanics and science fiction.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao even suspected that they might not need to consider the silicone layer imitating the skin in the future. Looking at the shape of the robotic arm, who would want to change it?

No wonder the subject of mechanical ascension is very popular.

Even he can not rule out some handsome and desperate people, just remove his arm and replace it with this mechanical arm.

He couldn't help but feel a little amazed by this thing in his heart, then he shook his head and got rid of these guesses.

If there are such crazy people, then he can't help it, after all, he can't stop those who want to die.

He then put the monkey in a cage and waited for it to wake up to see if it could operate two mechanical prosthetic limbs.

Time passed quickly, and after another hour, the effect of the anesthetic began to wear off.

Lin Xiao stared closely at the monkey's body.

First of all, the monkey moved its left finger, and its left hand is good, so it is not a big problem.

But then, Lin Xiao saw that its right finger also moved!

One of the mechanical fingers was shaking just like that!

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

Did you make it? !

At this time, the monkey's right arm also started to move!

Probably because there was an operation there, and after the effect of the anesthesia wore off, the pain made the monkey unbearable, so it shook.

However, this scene has already proved that the mechanical prosthesis created by Lin Xiao has succeeded!

Then, as time passed quickly, more than half of the anesthesia effect faded, and the monkey finally sat up.

At first it clutched its surgical site, trying to relieve the pain, but suddenly found that its familiar arm and leg had changed. It suddenly showed a fearful expression, and began to jump up and down in the cage, but after a while Afterwards, it quieted down again, from fear to doubt and curiosity, and began to touch his new arms and legs.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao also showed a smile on his face.

It worked!

At this moment, his phone rang suddenly.

It was Ma Gaoliang calling.

After connecting the phone, Ma Gaoliang's laughter came from the other side: "Academician Lin, I have some good news for you. Guess what it is?"

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Don't worry about your good news, your good news is definitely not as good as mine, so guess first, what is my news?"

Chapter 365 Warm up for the outside world

Ma Gaoliang, who was still smiling and waiting for Lin Xiao to guess, was taken aback when he heard Lin Xiao's words.

What?

Lin Xiao has better news?

Why did Lin Xiao suddenly have good news again?

and many more……

Ma Gaoliang on the other end of the phone, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Just kidding, Lin Xiao is now saying that he has good news!

This is good news for Academician Lin.

Ma Gaoliang immediately raised his voice, and asked with great anticipation: "Academician Lin, what good news do you think? Just guess, I'm sure I won't be able to guess."

Lin Xiao smiled, and then said, "Let me take a picture of you and send it to you."

Then he took a photo of the unlucky Monkey No. 1 in front of him—oh, it should be called Cyber ​​Monkey No. 1 now. After Lin Xiao took a photo of it, he sent it directly to Ma Gaoliang.

Ma Gaoliang over there was stunned when he saw this photo.

Although he had seen this monkey before, it was when Lin Xiao showed the artificial nerve function, but obviously he still couldn't distinguish between different monkeys, so he didn't recognize this monkey, but the two in the photo A mechanical prosthesis, but Ma Gaoliang was stunned on the spot.

"This...Academician Lin, could it be that the good news you mentioned is this...realistic special effects?"

He asked a little cautiously, trying to keep himself a little more conservative.

Although he had guesses in his heart, he always felt a little unreal.

After all, after Lin Xiao made the artificial nerve before, he asked if it was possible to make a prosthetic limb, but what Lin Xiao said at the time was that this thing is not easy to do?

What do you mean that the meaning expressed by the neural current is not easy to translate, and even if it is produced, it is not stable?

As a result, it suddenly came out again, and he felt that it was outrageous.

Hearing Ma Gaoliang's guess, Lin Xiao suddenly said speechlessly: "Director Ma, be confident, what special effects for movies, I don't have the time to help our domestic movies create new special effects technology."

"Forget it, I'll send you a video directly."

Then he took out his mobile phone, took a video of the monkey, and then sent it to Ma Gaoliang.

Soon, Ma Gaoliang turned on the video and watched it, and the more he watched it, the wider his eyes widened.

Seeing the appearance of the monkey moving the two mechanical prostheses flexibly, and the facts also told him that this is not a sci-fi clip, this is what Lin Xiao filmed for him on the spot.

Metallic reflections appeared on the surface of the prosthesis. Finally, Ma Gaoliang swallowed, and said to the phone again: "Academician Lin, is this really a mechanical prosthesis?"

"Can there be a fake?" Lin Xiao smiled.

"Didn't you say at the beginning that the interpretation of nerve currents is a key issue? It will take a long time to complete? Now it only takes a few months."

Lin Xiao said without blushing and heartbeat: "I accidentally found a way to interpret neural currents. Now, basically, in addition to controlling neural currents to simulate brain thinking and realize artificial consciousness, there is also a way to interpret brain currents. Except for the neural current of thinking, other things can be realized, such as the electronic prosthetic eye, and now I can also realize the interpretation of the visual neural current.”

"What?! Optical nerve current?"

Ma Gaoliang's heart was shocked again, and his expression was moved by it.

The three sensory disabilities of blindness, deafness and dumbness are all very tragic things, but if he is forced to become one of the three kinds of disabled people at this time, he will definitely exclude the blind people first.

Because whether they are deaf or dumb, their ability to act has not disappeared. What is missing is basically the ability to integrate into society, but the ability to integrate into the world is basically still there. After all, at least they can still see the world.

For the blind, the world is pitch black. Although they still have the ability to communicate with others, they have lost the ability to integrate into the world.

When people can't integrate into the world, the pain they finally feel, at least in Ma Gaoliang's view, is more miserable than the other two.

As far as he is concerned, it is completely unacceptable that he cannot see anything.

In addition, there are even worse blind people, that is, congenitally blind people, that is, blind people from birth, because for them, they don't even know what color is, and there is no concept of color in their minds. Not even black.

For such a person, even if they have the ability to speak, how to learn to communicate with others will be full of difficulties.

And even Helen Keller, who wrote "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", has at least seen the world and has a certain basic understanding of the composition and colors of the world.

Therefore, once it is true as Lin Xiao said now, his technology can realize this electronic prosthetic eye technology, which will benefit the entire human society just like artificial nerves!

Of course, he didn't forget that there are other functions of mechanical prosthetics. Adding these points, Lin Xiao's discounting technology, let alone living Hua Tuo, is completely a collection of living Hua Tuo, living Bian Que and so on. up.

The most important thing is that once these technologies appear, it means that Huaguo's status in the world's medical field will be greatly improved again.

Which technology in the world can restore sight to the blind?

Thinking of these things, Ma Gaoliang felt even more excited. Dang even said directly: "Academician Lin, I have already understood this matter, so when can this technology be used?"

Lin Xiao replied: "The electronic prosthetic eye will take a long time, but it will not be too long. The main reason is that the relevant chips need to be specially designed. Of course, it does not need to be very precise. The 90-nanometer process is fine, and it is mainly responsible for calculation and analysis."

The eyes of normal people have hundreds of millions of related cells to process light information, and finally form so many images, and if electronic prosthetic eyes are used to interpret these light information, the requirements for computing power are naturally very high. High, so it is necessary to perform very complicated calculations and interpretations on the obtained images, and finally convert them into nerve current signals and hand them over to the human brain for processing.

So you need a chip to do the calculations.

"And if it's a mechanical prosthesis, I think it can be used now. Except for the artificial nerve that needs to be connected to the human nerve, other operations are basically not too difficult in terms of difficulty. The main thing is to put a few bones together. There is no problem with nailing into human bones and stabilizing the external structure, and since the artificial nerve has been tested for so many months, it has been confirmed that there is no problem, then I think this thing can also be used, after all It's mostly a mechanical structure."

The current technology is of course fully usable, as long as he is given a person with a broken leg or hand, and according to the person's body shape, he can now design a prosthetic, and then start building it. It won't take long at all .

Ma Gaoliang was taken aback, and asked, "So, you also performed the monkey's operation by yourself?"

"correct."

Ma Gaoliang: "..."

This is simply cheating, even better than cheating!

Is it that easy to do surgery?

Not to mention that this is both nerve connection and bone nailing. It sounds very difficult, but in Lin Xiao's mouth, bone nailing has become easier?

It's just outrageous.

However, Lin Xiao didn't quarrel with Ma Gaoliang so much, and immediately said: "Okay, Director Ma, that's basically it, and I'll trouble you to arrange the rest."

Ma Gaoliang came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Okay, no problem."

But just after he finished speaking, he remembered one thing: "Oh right, I haven't told you the good news from my side yet."

Lin Xiao smiled when he heard it, and said, "It should be that the artificial nerve has been approved and can be officially listed?"

"You knew already?"

"Guess." Lin Xiao said casually: "Since it's on the market, it's more convenient for me to use this technology directly."

Ma Gaoliang was helpless, he felt more and more suppressed by Lin Xiao's IQ.

"Okay, that's it. Although the mechanical prosthesis can be used now according to what you said, we definitely need to test it before then, and then I will arrange a few people to test it as soon as possible. "

"OK, no problem."

"Well... that's right! There is one more question." Suddenly, Ma Gaoliang asked in a low voice: "The one of this thing, uh... is the torque of the motor. How big can it be?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then he knew what Ma Gaoliang meant by asking this.

The torque of the motor directly affects the strength of the mechanical arm.

And this also means that if it is made into a prosthetic leg or hand, it will determine whether it is a rehabilitation device or a weapon!

This is the so-called mechanical ascension.

Lin Xiaodang replied directly: "As much torque as the motor can achieve, it can achieve as much torque as possible."

Ma Gaoliang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, I see, thank you Academician Lin."

Lin Xiao reminded again: "Of course, I'm only speaking in theory. After all, this thing is always connected with human bones, and the final force also needs to consider the bearing capacity of the connection, so there are still some restrictions. .”

Ma Gaoliang smiled and said, "I know that."

"Ok."

Lin Xiao said no more and hung up the phone.

Shaking his head, Lin Xiao sighed, "Is this really going to start the rhythm of cyberpunk and mechanical ascension?"

At that time, it will be written in the future history books: "In 2023, Lin Xiao developed the earth's first mechanical prosthesis, laying the groundwork for the future cyberpunk world."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, then stopped thinking about it, and then took another look at the monkey in front of him, and couldn't help but think, if this thing is let out, the outsiders might be surprised. ?

Then he thought about it, maybe it was okay?

Just to warm up the outside world?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

Chapter 366 Can I see it?
