It was indeed a dream machine for the medical field.
Although it has not been actually used yet and only has a code name in the eyes of the public, if it can be actually used, the help it will bring to the medical field will undoubtedly be quite huge.
Of course, when it was first proposed, it still faced many problems.
After all, not to mention the , which has several safety measures for safety and can only block the senses to a very slight extent. It is impossible to relieve severe pain in the body. Even if is more pure than , the nerves in the body still have feelings, so the spinal cord should still have reflexes, so it cannot be used for anesthesia. The same applies to other aspects. The output power of the electromagnetic pulse wave is too low, and the CPU is also power-saving, so there will be some problems in terms of processing speed.
If you want to dive into the VR world, the specifications should be sufficient.
However, its performance is still insufficient when paired with lenses to present the real-life environment in real time, that is, when it comes to achieving augmented reality.
However, this problem can still be solved.
As long as the output power of the fully submerged machine is enhanced, the density of pulse wave generating components is increased several times, the processing speed is increased, and then it is integrated with a bed that can cover the entire brain and spinal cord, then as long as this instrument can be mass-produced and deployed In most hospitals, the entire medical environment will be revolutionized.
Almost all surgeries do not require anesthesia, and it is also possible to communicate with patients diagnosed with locked-in syndrome. Even if the thinking part of the brain is normal, the part that controls the body is impaired, so that the patient cannot express himself through the machine. Connected to the depths of the patient's brain, even if the body cannot move, the VR world can still be used to return to normal society.
Therefore, after mobilizing the power and resources of the country for emergency development, what was born was the world's first complete stealth machine for medical use - .
However, its birth was definitely not smooth sailing.
Due to the death game incident caused by , there was a huge commotion and public opinion that the complete stealth technology should be sealed several times, even though the experimental unit No. 1, which was continuously researched and developed by the country and some manufacturers, had been completed at that time , and moved the machine into the hospital for clinical experiments, but if the prototype machine was the terrifying NERvGear, no one would be willing to use it, and no one knew that the long-term increase in the density of electronic pulse waves by several times would affect the brain. What impact did it have on the body? In the end, because the conditions were too dangerous, it was difficult to find patients willing to assist in the experiment, and the machine was never put into practical use.
The so-called "Medicuboid" is not a follow-up to "AmuSphere", but an extension of "NERvGear". This alone is enough to scare many people away.
However...
"Three years ago, volunteers were found at Yokohama Kohoku General Hospital, the only hospital used to experiment with , which is where we are going now."
After Yui said this, she stopped talking.
But Asuna seemed to realize something, and her face began to turn pale.
"Could it be..."
Asuna's lips trembled slightly.
"Relax."
As if Asuna had anticipated this reaction, Luo Zhen reached out and patted the back of Asuna's hand.
"You look like this, even if you see Yuuki, she won't be happy, right?"
Luo Zhen's words made Asuna bite her lip.
Asuna held Luo Zhen's hand with her backhand, and the strength was very strong, as if she was trying to suppress the screams in her heart, and she was about to cry.
Seeing Asuna like this, Luo Zhen said nothing.
Asuna would have to go through this level sooner or later.
"Drive faster."
Luo Zhen just said this coldly to Kikuoka Seijiro, who was the driver, making Kikuoka Seijiro smile bitterly.
"It's already very fast."
Saying this, Kikuoka Seijiro stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed.
The vehicles shuttled on the road at extremely fast speeds and drove into the distance.
... ... ... ...
Yokohama City.
This is an important city belonging to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas. It is located in the southern part of the Kanto region of Japan, bordering Tokyo Bay to the east, adjacent to cities such as Yokosuka to the south, and Kawasaki City to the north. It is an international port in the eastern part of Kanagawa Prefecture. The city is also the seat of the prefectural office (administrative center) of Kanagawa Prefecture and is designated as one of the cities designated by government decree.
The city has the largest population in the country after Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and is also the most populous municipal administrative area. The city has Yokohama Port located on the west coast of Tokyo Bay, which is often regarded as Tokyo's outer port. There are a large number of ports along the coast. With its port facilities and associated industrial and warehousing industries, it is an important city for exchanges between the East and the West in Japan.
The hospital is located in the Tsuzuki District of Yokohama City, surrounded by green hills. Although it is not that tall overall, as long as people see its fairly broad wings and the surrounding gentle hills, people will have a feeling. A feeling far away from the city.
The building still looks quite new, with the brown tiled walls shining brightly under the low-temperature sunlight in winter.
After passing through the cleanly wiped double glass automatic doors and stepping into the well-lit entrance, the nostalgic smell of disinfectant will appear.
In the lobby, mothers holding children and old people in electric wheelchairs were walking around. Only the counter across the wide space was quieter.
Luo Zhen, Asuna and Kikuoka Seijiro entered here directly and came to the counter.
"Hello."
Kikuoka Seijiro stepped forward directly and spoke to the nurse at the counter.
"I have made an appointment with Dr. Kurahashi of the Second Department of Internal Medicine. Can you please inform me?"
With that said, Kikuoka Seijiro also handed a certificate to the nurse at the counter.
The nurse at the counter took the certificate and glanced at it. Her expression immediately changed slightly. Then she quickly stood up and notified the head nurse, asking the head nurse to inform the person mentioned by Kikuoka Seijiro over the phone.
After a while, a man in white clothes walked over quickly.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
The person who said this and came closer was a short and fat male doctor.
He was probably in his early thirties, with three-quarter-length hair on top of his bright and broad forehead, and thick-framed glasses on his face. He looked like he had been working in this hospital for a long time.
"I am Cangqiao, the attending physician of the Second Department of Internal Medicine."
The man named Cangqiao glanced at everyone one after another and said so.
"At the same time, I am also the attending physician of Konno Kapokji."
Hearing this, Asuna was the first to speak out.
"Kono Kapok Ji...?"
Asuna murmured.
At this, Kurahashi smiled.
"That's the Yuuki you call me."
