steel horn

When Shao Jun rushed to the school hospital of Shannan School, Ke Xia was lying in the treatment cabin and fell asleep. His skin was pale in the light green treatment liquid, his light golden hair was floating, and his eyes were peaceful, like a person who was asleep. beauty.

Dr. Kerr, the attending doctor, spoke quite straightforwardly: "Mer's disease, this is a genetic disease, he should have had limb paralysis and occasional inability to move his legs and feet for a while, but he still insisted on participating in training. A’s training was too intense, which exacerbated his illness, and he passed out today. His teammates sent him here, but he refused to inform his family. We only asked us to tell him the truth about what was wrong with him, but told him the symptoms. And after giving him the best treatment plan, the patient couldn't accept it and was very emotional. We had to inject him with tranquilizers to calm him down, and asked the Academic Affairs Department to check the contact information of the emergency contact before we got in touch with you. "

Shao Jun raised his heart, and before he could find out what is called Merger's gene disease, Dr. Kerr had already introduced: "One of the evil results caused by the marriage of close relatives who pursue high spiritual power, most of them are the nobles on the side of the empire. The hair color and pupil color will become lighter and lighter, the patient will gradually freeze, the motor nerve cells will gradually die, and the muscles will gradually lose sensation, until the whole body is paralyzed, the breathing is weak and the patient dies. During this period, the patient's mental It is still normal, conscious, and sensitive like ordinary people, so if left alone, the patient will be in more pain, and will be soberly watching his powerless death."

"This disease is rare nowadays. After all, modern technology is advanced, and most of them can be avoided through prenatal examination and genetic screening. Only on the side of the empire, because of the long-term marriage of the aristocratic blood who had to maintain the so-called high spirits in the past, there will still be cases. Occasionally, it is also very rare. If you know that you are carrying the gene after screening, it can be controlled with long-term medication. Even if the disease occurs, it can be cured, but the course of treatment is relatively long. Also, the genetic medicine for treatment is more expensive, and the treatment period is also more painful. , after entering the course of treatment, it will accelerate the symptoms of paralysis, and then slowly rebuild and grow new cells to restore function, and then it will take a long time for rehabilitation. It is estimated that it will take three to five years to fully return to normal. During this period The medicine can’t be broken, you have to get a drip every day, and use a recovery EUE medicine, which can only be imported from the empire, which is very expensive... Therefore, most people in the alliance are reluctant to take this kind of treatment, and most patients will choose to have their limbs amputated , replace it with a biomechanical prosthesis, and install a ventilator in the body to help breathing, such a treatment plan is relatively cheap...It can be replaced gradually, so that patients are easier to accept and get used to it.”

Amputation!

Shao Jun looked at Dr. Kerr in shock, and Dr. Kerr shrugged: "As you can see, the patient couldn't accept this kind of treatment, so he was emotional. He said that he would rather die than use a biomechanical body. In fact, although the alliance prohibits Manufacture of artificial robots, but prosthetics can completely imitate his body to make highly simulated biological prosthetics, connect nerves, replace them, it will not affect daily life, but amputation and installation of prosthetics are irreversible, so once made With this decision, it is impossible to use genetic medicine anymore, but if the cost of genetic medicine cannot keep up, there is no way to cure it later, when the nerves of the limbs are all necrotic, and it is too late to replace the prosthesis."

Shao Jun asked: "After installing the high-fidelity prosthesis, can he still drive the mecha?"

Dr. Kerr patiently and gently said: "Being able to live and work like an ordinary person is already rare--it is recommended that he turn to a clerical job. Even if the money is abundant and the gene drug treatment is used, after such a long course of treatment and recovery, most people will not be able to recover." The method is to operate the mecha, the mecha operation requires very high physical fitness, and the supersonic mecha movement will cause a great burden on the body."

Shao Jun looked at Ke Xia, who was unconscious in the emerald-like healing liquid, and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen his mecha fight?"

Dr. Kerr sighed, among the talented and star students of Shannan Middle School who became famous in the first battle, who hasn't seen that amazing talent match?As soon as he fainted, Miss Ruth, the daughter of Marshal Bruce, sent the patient over in person. All the school doctors came for consultation and came to the conclusion of Mo's genetic disease. This almost meant that this mech genius fell from now on, and it was impossible again. Pilot a mech.Miss Ruth still couldn't believe it, and invited experts from the Union High Military Hospital to consult again, and still came to the same conclusion, so she was desperate.It is said that she was so heartbroken that she cried until she fainted, and was taken back to the Marshal's Mansion by several adjutants, saying that she was going to ask for leave to rest for a while... The angel broke his wings, even Dr. It's hard to feel like a rock, it's such a pity.

Another voice came from behind: "It's not necessarily a bad thing for him."

Shao Jun turned his head and saw an old man with white hair and white beard and sharp eyes. Behind him was a big red-haired man who was walking behind him. It was the day when Ke Xia entered school, and Professor Rose stopped him from competing with others.I heard from Ke Xia that after he enrolled in school, he received many instructions on martial arts from Professor Ross, and he didn't hide his secrets.

Professor Ross looked at him and said: "You are his family, you should know that his mental power is too violent and his personality is extreme. It is not a good thing to go on like this. Although he has lost his body and limbs, he can live a mediocre and stable life until his old age. , might not be a good thing.”

At this time, Shao Jun suddenly felt angry, and said coldly: "It is better to let the genius die than let him die."

Ross let out a long sigh. Although his back was still straight, his face was a little depressed. He took a deep look at Ke Xia who was lying in the healing solution, turned and left.

Shao Jun turned his head and asked Dr. Kerr: "Excuse me, doctor, do you have a channel to buy the gene drug? If you need treatment without amputation, please provide me with the treatment plan and the channel to buy the drug."

Dr. Kerr sighed: "Think about it, don't be impulsive, maybe the patient just can't accept it for a while, and when the condition gets worse and he is in pain, it's too late to regret at that time, take advantage of all the nerves now. Everything is fine, amputation and connection of normal nerves is the best medical solution. Now that technology is very advanced, prosthetics look like ordinary people from the outside, and they can move freely. It can be said that it does not affect life, and—— Marshal Bruce Let the adjutant transfer a sum of money, willing to provide student Xia Ke with the best bionic prosthesis at present... If you want to choose the gene drug treatment plan, this money is still a drop in the bucket, you may not understand how expensive this drug is."

Shao Jun said lightly, "It can't be the same."

Dr. Kerr has not yet recovered from the entanglement: "Huh?"

Shao Jun said: "The prosthetic cannot be exactly the same as the human body. It uses data to tell you that the grass is soft and the flower is very fragrant, but you will never be able to feel the feeling of that grass or that flower again."

Dr. Kerr looked at the calm black-eyed man in front of him, he didn't look like a man who would be angry at all: "But, think again, he is still young, and he doesn't know how long the suffering of the disease will be. In addition, the Marshal's The money is only for prosthetic installation..."

Shao Jun said flatly: "I will respect his own wishes, and he probably would not choose this plan. Please return the money and thank the marshal. I also want to ask, if Ke Xia treats his illness, his student status will How? Can I keep it?"

Dr. Kerr said: "You can suspend school, keep your student status, and return to school after recovery..."

Shao Jun calmly asked: "Where can I do it? And his current situation..." He pointed to Ke Xia in the treatment cabin and asked: "How long will it take for the treatment before I can go home?"

Dr. Kerr was completely overwhelmed by the aura of the quiet man in front of him, and he just replied passively: "The suspension of school can be done at the Academic Affairs Office, and it doesn't need to be done today. I have already notified the Academic Affairs Office that he needs to rest for half a month. As long as you come back to school within half a month and go through the suspension procedures. This treatment cabin is just to relax and replenish nutrients for his whole body muscles. The intense mecha training has caused him to lose too much nutrition, and his body cannot withstand any intense exercise now. , has been treated for [-] stars, and can come out at any time. Considering that the patient is emotionally intense and resistant to treatment, you can take the patient home first, stabilize the mood, and ask for his own opinion. Then keep rest and ensure nutrition. If you want to use The treatment plan of genetic medicine, in addition to the expensive medicine itself, the patient’s condition may get worse every day, psychological treatment must keep up, I can provide free follow-up and plan advice during the whole treatment process... as long as You agree that I use his data for research, and I can promise not to publish the patient**... No, no, I will never release it to the public without the consent of the patient and his family. This case is too rare... Please Your understanding..."

Shao Jun nodded: "Thank you, Dr. Kerr."

He did not refuse Dr. Kerr's research request, after all, they needed Kerr's professional treatment.

The door of the medical cabin opened, and the healing liquid slowly flowed down. Ke Xia was still asleep, his hair was wet against the glass. Shao Jun took the big bath towel handed over by the nurse, wrapped him up and carried him out, and put him on the bed next to him. , and change into loose clothing after drying off.

Dr. Kerr sent them a car, and reminded him: "After returning, his body will deteriorate rapidly. The high-intensity mecha training has accelerated his condition, and if he is injected with the gene therapy solution, he will immediately face neurological problems." You have to be mentally prepared for the paralysis that you must go through before rebuilding—pay attention to his psychological changes.”

Shao Jun nodded, carried Ke Xia into the car, and embarked on the return journey. Ke Xia's pale face was covered by his wet light blond hair. Shao Jun hugged him, listening to his slight snort in his arms, Suddenly felt very sad, he has no body, but at this moment, the unbearable grief that belongs to the soul seems to pierce through his non-existent heart, making him almost unable to control, the malice of fate, why can't let this go Where are the children?
