One month later.
In the ICU ward on the first floor of Life Sciences City Central Hospital.
An old man with a pale face and so thin that he was out of shape was slowly pushed out of the ICU ward and toward the operating room.
Next to the operating room, in addition to three nurses, there were four family members with different expressions following them. The leader was an old man in his sixties, and next to him seemed to be the old man's family members.
These people watched with serious expressions as the three nurses pushed the patient away, and they followed step by step until they arrived at a sterile operating room.
"You can't go in."
After arriving here, one of the nurses stopped everyone, "The environment inside is sterile. If you enter, the patient will be infected."
"But my grandpa is in there."
A man in his thirties with comb hair, wearing jeans and a nose ring spread his hands. He turned his head and suddenly saw a door next to the operating room. One of the nurses walked in and exposed the door. There was actually an observation window that could see the operating room, and he suddenly shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"What's wrong Bruno?"
The old man turned to the man and asked.
"Father, they have an observation room next to the operating room, and I saw a nurse walk in!"
The man with the nose ring shouted loudly, and at the same time he wanted to push the door of the observation room, but was stopped by two stiff-looking security guards at the door.
"Hey, man, it's my grandpa who's doing the surgery. Why don't you let me in?"
The man with the nose ring asked while pushing the other person's hands away.
However, the two men dressed as security guards did not offer any explanation.
"Is that so?"
The old man immediately looked at the nurse who blocked him, "Can we go in to observe my father Watson's surgery?"
"this… "
The nurse hesitated for a moment, then wondered, "Mr. Qian is here to observe the operation today, forget it... I'll go ask for instructions."
Then she also walked in.
Half a minute later, the nurse came out again. She nodded to the three of them and said, "Mr. Qian allows everyone to enter. Please keep quiet."
"What bullshit Mr. Qian..."
The nose-ringed man named Bruno muttered in a low voice, but was immediately stopped by the old man on the side, "Bruno, this is not your third-rate Chicago speedster gang. You should be more careful what you say."
With that said, several people entered the observation room at the invitation of the nurse.
After the old man walked in, the first thing he saw was a smooth and bright floor-to-ceiling window on his left side. On the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window was the operating room. Under the appearance of the floor-to-ceiling window, everything in the entire operating room was reflected without any obstruction. caught the attention of everyone in the observation room.
In the observation room, there are two long sofas and a coffee table. At this time, three people are sitting on the sofa, seemingly talking about something.
When the old man saw clearly one of the white men, who was about forty years old, his eyes suddenly widened with shock, "Uncle Felix... is that you?"
The white man in his forties raised his head when he heard this, and immediately smiled knowingly when he saw the white-haired old man in front of him, "It turns out to be little Watson. We haven't seen each other in nearly twenty years, right?"
"It's really you..."
The old man's face was full of excitement. He quickly pulled Bruno who was beside him and walked forward, "Thank you for taking care of me. If it weren't for you, my father would not come to Life Sciences City for treatment. The medical expenses here are too high... This It’s my son Bruno.”
"I remember the last time I saw Bruno, he was still a teenager. He has grown so big in the blink of an eye."
Felix nodded with a kind look on his face.
Suddenly, such a strange scene appeared in the observation room - a white-haired old man was extremely respectful to a middle-aged man in his forties, as if he were a junior, and no one on the side looked surprised at all. It seemed that This is how it should be.
This is a major change in human civilization after the "aging reversal treatment" project was born. Appearance is no longer the first factor in judging age.
"Mr. Felix..."
At this time, Bruno finally became cautious. Although he was an unlearned gangster, he had heard of the name of the Munster family. It was obviously just a new family, but its strength was comparable to those of the old consortiums. I heard that even the most powerful motorcycle gang in Chicago is inextricably linked to this family.
"Hello, Bruno."
Felix nodded, as if he had thought of something. He was about to introduce a young man sitting next to him, but the other person just waved his hand.
So, Felix had no choice but to introduce the person opposite him, "This is the person in charge of Life Sciences City and the African CEO of Blackwatch Company, Mr. Qian Wenhuanqian."
"I've admired you for a long time, I've seen you on TV."
The old man showed a surprised look and took the initiative to shake hands with Qian Wenhuan. He didn't mind that the other person was a young man under thirty years old, but he inadvertently glanced at the young man sitting next to Felix. people.
Although the young man seemed to be the youngest among the three, the experienced old man could tell at a glance that the young man had the highest status among the three.
"Could it be that this person is..."
A thought flashed through his mind, and the old man was shocked. However, since the other party stopped Felix's introduction, he did not reveal the other party's identity. He just nodded at the young man in good faith after shaking hands with Qian Wenhuan. nodded.
The young man also smiled slightly in response.
Next, Felix enthusiastically asked everyone to sit down on the sofa and began to chat casually. It was not until the preparations for the operating room next door were completely completed that everyone looked behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the operating room, more than a dozen medical staff arrived. At the same time, they connected James Watson, who had been in a coma for a month, to life-support equipment such as an electrocardiogram and BIS machine, and then injected James Watson with an anesthetic. , causing James Watson to completely fall into a deep sleep.
Then, one of the nurses came forward with a razor. This nurse was very skilled in razor skills. Within a few minutes, James Watson had just grown a little hair, and his scarred head was shaved into a bald head again. , and then another disinfection.
After shaving his head, several other nurses came forward and operated the operating table under James Watson. After a while, the operating table turned into a semi-reclining chair, and James Watson It also changed from a lying position to a sitting position.
Then, two more nurses brought a surgical frame, set it up on top of James Watson's head, and covered his head, only exposing the Tianling Cap area with several surgical wounds, and then put it on the operating tablecloth.
At this point, James Watson's Tianling Cap was no longer exposed to the doctor and everyone in the observation room next door.
The previous wound was sutured when dealing with brain trauma. Strictly speaking, this was the second craniotomy. The doctor cut open the scalp bit by bit along the previous suture position, and then a doctor used electrocoagulation. After the forceps stop bleeding, lift the scalp and pull it down to the face.
Suddenly, a horrifying scene appeared. James Watson's entire face was blocked by his opened scalp, only the top piece with several cracks, multiple fractures and signs of repair showing. Bloodshot skull…
"Prepare for craniotomy, hemostats and norepinephrine!"
"Keep an eye on the BIS machine to prevent the subject from becoming conscious and showing signs of awakening..."
Hearing the order from the attending doctor coming from the loudspeaker of the operating room, everyone in the observation room stopped talking in unison. Among them, Qian Wenhuan and Felix even stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if they didn't want to miss everything.
After James Watson exposed the skull layer under his skin, the doctor began to use a drill to unscrew the connector that had been previously nailed, and peeled off most of the skull like building blocks.
Under the skull was a layer of white dura mater. As the doctor cut open the slowly squirming meninges again, the injured brain was completely exposed to everyone.
After seeing the scarred brain, not only James Watson's family members, but also Qian Wenhuan and Felix couldn't help but gasp.
Although it had been processed long ago, at this time, the brain was still missing several areas as if it had been gnawed by a dog, showing an irregular shape.
These missing areas were damaged by bullets and could only be removed during previous surgeries, making James Watson's brain like a piece of tofu in a tofu cart that likes to drift, completely losing its original round shape.
It's so fatal to look like this and not die yet...
This is the true inner thought of everyone at this time.
However, this group of doctors was not surprised at all. Apparently, they had known about James Watson's condition at this time when doing CT and other imaging. "The brain structure has been confirmed, no signs of infection or deterioration have been found, and implantation surgery can be performed... NSR Implant preparation!"
Following the order from the surgeon, the hood-like device that was originally placed in the corner was pushed over.
After the equipment was pushed over, the hood was placed directly on James Watson's head under the doctor's control. Then a row of lasers quickly swept across James Watson's brain inside and out. once, then extinguished instantly.
What is this, laser mapping
Many people looked at Qian Wenhuan in confusion, but Qian Wenhuan was also confused. This was the first time he had seen this instrument. However, it was obvious that his boss had used the top engineers in the entire industrial park to do this. It's this device, this device called the "NSR Implanter"...
But before everyone could appreciate all this, something like a sewing machine slowly descended from the top of the hood, getting closer to James Watson's brain.
If you have better eyesight, you can still see a chip the size of a fingernail at the port of the sewing machine.
Next, just like mending clothes, this sewing machine-like device continued to move up and down James Watson's brain at an extremely fast frequency, and the amplitude of the swing was extremely small. If he was not careful, Look, you can't even see this instrument bobbing up and down.
"What is this doing?"
Bruce looked at his father with some confusion.
"Obviously, this is fixing James Watson's brain."
Felix spread his hands, and then he looked at the young man from Zhongzhou who was also standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "Am I right, Your Excellency Chen Chen?"
The Central Continent young man who had been silent was Chen Chen. At this time, he nodded in the face of everyone's doubts, "Yes, this is a technology that uses special AI chips to replace missing parts of the brain, and connects the parts of the brain through nanoscale electrodes. Nerves allow the chip to completely become a part of the brain, which helps repair damaged brain functions."
"Amazing skills!"
Watson's son, the old man, was shocked when he heard this. Like his father, he is a biological researcher. Although he is not as successful as his father in this field, he is not far behind.
Therefore, among the people present, he is the only one who understands what this technology means...
This is a technology that is enough to subvert neurology!
"Okay, this scene will last for more than ten hours."
Chen Chen turned and walked towards the door, "If I were you, I would wait outside until all these chips are implanted into Watson's brain."
"Why does it take so long?"
Bruce asked subconsciously, but Chen Chen did not answer, but left the observation room directly.
"Bruce, Your Excellency Chen Chen has made it very clear."
The old man immediately frowned and looked at his unlearned son to prevent his ignorant son from causing trouble. He had to explain, "Do you know how many neurons there are in the brain? Millions is not enough to describe. Mr. Chen Chen mentioned nanoelectrodes before, which means that there may be tens of thousands of nanoscale electrodes on a chip the size of a fingernail."
"Every time this device swings, it is equivalent to inserting an electrode into the brain and connecting a neuron. This is a very delicate job. Even if it swings ten times per second, it can only insert ten electrodes, so Do you understand why it takes more than ten hours?"
Bruce wanted to say something else, but was stared back by his father's stern eyes.
Felix smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, let's wait outside and see if the Life Sciences City can surprise James Watson and us in a dozen hours."
"Sir Felix, please come this way, and the others please come with me. I will arrange a rest room for you."
After hearing Felix's words, Qian Wenhuan naturally knew what to do. He made a gesture of invitation and welcomed everyone out of the observation room.
In the operating room, all the nurses and doctors had also withdrawn, leaving only two nurses to guard them in case anything went wrong.
As most people left, the lights in the operating room dimmed with a snap. The originally bright operating room without any shadow was completely plunged into darkness. Only the instruments above James Watson's head were still working tirelessly. Operating…
