The human cervical spine is composed of 33 vertebrae, including cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal vertebrae.
Inside the spine is a substance called the spinal cord, which is composed of countless neurons.
One end of the spinal cord is connected to the brain, and the other end is connected to the limbs, forming a smooth bridge for human nerve conduction.
Therefore, once there is a problem with the spine, it often represents a spinal cord injury. The commands sent by the brain cannot reach the corresponding trunk, thus leading to paralysis.
According to conventional medical methods so far, nerve damage is still irreversible in clinical practice, and only various stem cell treatments still in the laboratory have occasionally yielded good results.
The STEM chip does not essentially cure paralysis, but uses itself as a medium to connect the two ends of the disconnected nerves, so that the signals transmitted by the brain can be transmitted across the break.
Therefore, according to the function of the STEM chip, it can only be most effective when implanted in the cervical spine.
The reason why cervical spine implantation is needed is actually that, as shown in the movie, the chip can intercept the nerve signals from the host's brain at the cervical spine, thereby controlling the host's body.
Of course, it is also possible to place the chip in the host's lumbar spine, but in that case it will probably only be able to control the host's lower body.
At this time, in an operating room of the institute, Samuel was lying in front of the exploration window with some anxiety, staring blankly at the people on the operating table through the cold glass.
It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face full of freckles and soft, bright blond hair.
At this time, she was lying on the operating table, seemingly in a deep sleep, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised in her sleep, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.
The girl was wearing a blue surgical gown, with only a small piece of her smooth back exposed, and her skin glowed like ivory under the shadowless lamp.
Anyone who sees such a girl will feel that she should be walking on the green grass instead of sitting in a cold wheelchair.
At this time, the girl's body was connected to blood pressure monitors, heart rate monitors, BIS machines and other instruments, and there was an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. She seemed to have entered a state of deep anesthesia.
Looking at this scene, Samuel showed a complicated expression.
Just three days ago, the boss from the mysterious East had gone crazy and retrieved his own national files and asked him to sign an agreement in exchange for curing Annie's injury.
At that time, Samuel's first reaction was to refuse.
Although the other party is his boss and is very talented and charming, he himself is an industry insider and of course he understands the situation of his daughter's injury.
If that kind of injury could be easily cured, I wouldn't have waited ten years.
However, when he saw the confidence and undoubt in the other person's eyes, Samuel's heart couldn't help but waver...
Of course ordinary people can't do it, but if it's this magical young man in front of me, maybe it's not impossible
It seemed that he understood the doubts, so the other party proposed to cure Anne's disability first. If it was effective, he would have to sign an agreement.
So, for the sake of her daughter's future, she finally agreed.
Recalling the situation at that time again, the corners of Samuel's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
That was a very strange agreement.
The content of the agreement is roughly an invitation letter - inviting yourself to join an organization called "God's Forbidden Zone".
According to the agreement, this organization is a secret organization lurking deep in the world, even older and more mysterious than Freemasonry.
The name "God's Forbidden Zone" reminded Samuel of a saying once circulated in folk science:
[The brain cells of the human brain are usually only used 10%, and even those geniuses in the scientific and technological field such as Einstein only use 20%, and more than 70% of the brain cells are in a dormant state.]
[As for the reason for dormancy, some people speculate that it is because God is afraid that humans will be too smart and break the taboos of heaven, so he specifically banned most of the functions of the human brain.]
Of course, civil science and religion cannot be trusted, and there is no need for nature to evolve an organ structure that consumes a lot of energy but is useless. More energy expenditure means a reduction in survival chances, and the same is true for the human brain. .
In the end, it was found out that the so-called "God's forbidden area" actually originated from a marketing advertisement for health care products.
However, although the organization in the agreement is also called "God's Forbidden Zone", it is not the above explanation, but the literal meaning -
"This is the holy land of science, the forbidden area of God!"
According to the agreement, this organization was jointly founded by a group of people dedicated to the development of biotechnology. They tried to break the limits of human Haiflik, obtain a longer life, and even attempted to steal the rights only possessed by gods—
eternal life.
It's obvious that these are a bunch of lunatics.
The agreement also said: If you join the organization, you must abide by the confidentiality regulations and must not reveal the existence of the organization to any third party, nor may you do anything detrimental to the organization. You may even be subject to personal restrictions and be implanted with a device called " God” chip.
God is the name of "God" in English.
However, the organization known as God's Forbidden Zone named the chip it controls God. Is it because of arrogance of theology or a provocation to religion
Of course, these are no longer important.
The consequences of betrayal have been spelled out in the agreement: once you join God's Forbidden Zone, you must be implanted with a God chip. From then on, your every word and deed will be monitored by the chip.
In the chip, there is an artificial intelligence God who monitors the host at all times. Once the host has the idea of leaking secrets, God will detect and warn the host.
If the first warning is ineffective, God will deprive the host of control of the body and contact the organization's headquarters, waiting for the organization to send arbitration personnel to deal with it.
And if the host's personal freedom is restricted and the chip is violently dismantled, God will activate the self-destruction program and kill the host at the same time.
Although it was quite shocking that the technological strength of Chen Chen and the organization behind Chen Chen, "God's Forbidden Zone", could actually create such a terrifying chip, the conditions proposed by the other party left Samuel with no choice.
He still remembered the warning in the other party's eyes after the other party put forward the condition of "curing his daughter first and then joining the organization."
If he suddenly changes his mind after his daughter is cured, the consequences may be something he cannot bear...
However, nothing is more important than Anne getting back on her feet. God has deprived her of ten years of youth. Even if it is a sin, she has already paid it off.
Even if she still has it, let her father repay it for her!
Thinking of this, Samuel looked towards the operating room with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
At this moment, in the preparation room on the other side of the operating room, Chen Chen walked in, also wearing surgical clothes.
He first nodded towards Samuel who was outside the observation window, then started to put on his gloves and took out the necessary surgical instruments one by one -
The operation is about to begin...
