Chapter 38 The potential of prosthetics (Friday early morning slot)
Lung problems are a short-term problem that can be solved with money——
This world will breed all kinds of scavengers, That is, the Gaojiao people. The reason lies in the high price of human organs.
Some people may ask, why is there still organ trading in a world with such advanced prosthetic technology?
Because the cyberpunk world is still one step away from true mechanical ascension, the entire world has experienced technological regression and annihilation due to the collapse of the old network.
Therefore, most prosthetics have requirements for the quality of the original implanter, which can basically be divided into three attributes: "body", "reaction" and "intelligence".
These three attributes are usually used by prosthetists to judge the potential of the body and decide whether some special implantable prostheses can be implanted.
Theoretically, only by implanting enough prosthetics can these "potentials" be converted into real values.
But conversely, only if the potential meets the requirements can it be possible for the prosthetic body to achieve the desired effect.
Synthetic lung lobes are a type of synthetic tissue used to increase the surface area of the lungs. By increasing the surface area, the amount of oxygen taken in per unit time is increased, fundamentally improving the body's endurance.
However, if the implanter himself does not meet the requirements, the synthetic tissue will actually reduce the efficiency of the lungs.
Under what circumstances is it called physical failure? For example, if a guy is very weak, his intercostal muscles, abdominal muscles, pectoralis major and diaphragm muscles are not strong enough, and his chest expansion is not large, so the gas entering the lungs cannot reach the processing limit of the lungs.
It is impossible to exert the full functions of the native lungs, and it is useless to add synthetic lung lobes, because there is not enough oxygen for the body to absorb.
On the contrary, ineffective synthetic lung lobes will increase the burden on the lungs and may cause other health problems.
Lille's situation is different - although his muscles are weak, his lungs are even weaker.
Therefore, lung replacement can solve the urgent problem.
Lao Wei first changed Lille's biometric monitoring device, and while changing it back, he explained relevant knowledge points to Lille.
Jack went out to discuss the price of the lizard with the priest at this time, leaving only V - because V also had injuries that needed to be dealt with.
V asked curiously: "Old Wei, I didn't know this before, why didn't I hear you tell me about it?"
Old Wei glanced at V: "You can do it yourself Think about it?”
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that V herself can't listen
Let alone Lao Wei and her lectures, she doesn't even want to read instructions that are more than 100 words.
So V smiled coquettishly and asked: "Then what are these three values of mine to you?"
Lao Wei was inspecting the implant implanted in Lille's body. The biomonitor said: "Your data has not been updated for a long time. My impression is that the physical and reaction potential are above 16."
"What about intelligence?"
"You'd better not know, it's enough anyway."
Old Wei performed the last procedure and completely installed the biological monitoring into Lille's body.
A new line of HUD appeared on Lille's prosthetic eye, and his blood pressure, blood lipids, weight and other basic information were displayed on it.
Lao Wei also thoughtfully added an advanced version of HUD to Lille, which will further display complex information such as white blood cell value, blood sugar concentration, red blood cell number, hemoglobin concentration, etc.
V pursed his lips: "Where is he? I guess his body only has 1."
"Uh, you guessed it right." Lear saw his poor physical value. In fact, even the reaction column was only barely 3.
No wonder I always feel that my body is not so fast and exaggerated after taking Sianwistan.
The physical body determines the overall body strength, and what determines the reaction mainly refers to the coordinated relationship between the central nervous system and neuromuscular.
Microscopically speaking, the response is mainly determined by indicators such as the number of neurons and synapses. This is a detail that implantable prostheses cannot achieve.
3 is the value for ordinary people, and 1 is equivalent to Lille falling down with one push.
"Haha!" V laughed mercilessly, "Weak chicken!"
Liel didn't say anything because he saw that his intelligence column did not display a value.
The high intelligence index here does not mean that he is a figure like Newton Einstein, but it is mainly determined by the surface area of the cerebral cortex and the activity of brain electrical signals.
The higher the value, the easier it is for the implant to use the brain to perform calculations, which is equivalent to the greater the computing memory of the computer.
It can be said that high intelligence does not necessarily lead to someone like Newton, Einstein, or the hacker god Bartmos.
After all, there is no way to accurately quantify creativity and thinking ability, and in addition to talent, education is also an important indicator of a person's achievement.
But the intelligence of these characters must be above 20.
Lao Wei's meaning is already obvious, the test limit is 20, but this is meaningless to Lille.
What's more, in this world, superior talent can sometimes become a curse - it would be great if Lille himself knew.
Understanding what Lao Wei meant, Lille filled in the number 12 himself. While filling it in, he glanced at V:
I'm a weakling and you're mentally retarded.
Ding——
The doorbell of the clinic rang, and there was a commotion in the street outside - it was the arrival of an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle is not large and its appearance is not streamlined. Obviously, it is also an economical and practical type of aerial vehicle and is mainly used for transportation.
The font written on the side door indicates the company it belongs to: Moore Technology.
This is the arrival of the lungs and prosthesis that Lille bought for 300,000 euros.
A man in a suit carrying a black cargo box appeared at the door of the clinic, followed by two heavily armed bodyguards.
“Thank you for choosing Moore Technology this time, Mr. Lear, this is the preferred living organ and the latest synthetic lung tissue you purchased. In order to prevent installation accidents, the most appropriate method has been selected for the synthetic tissue. Installed on this living organ.
In addition, there is an artificial accessory heart and a blood-activating pump that you can purchase, which are made with Moore Technology's exclusive technology to ensure that your heart never stops and the blood flows continuously.
You have chosen other installation methods. In view of the local security situation and your purchase options, our company is not responsible for the safety of the goods after signing.
Please sign for your goods. ”
Living in 2077, online shopping is convenient.
Lille did not expect that Moore Technology would use floating vehicles for transportation - it makes sense when you think about it. In addition to the 300,000 euros, he But it cost an extra 2,000 euros Expedited transportation.
It would be cheaper to transport it by car. Unfortunately, there is a clause in the car transportation terms: for Night City customers, Lille will not be responsible for the goods once they are delivered. Select.
"The scene is really big."
V and Lao Wei also saw this method of transportation for the first time.
After signing for it, Lao Wei opened the goods worth 300,000 euros in a subtle mood.
If it were just an ordinary lung, you could buy it from the scavenger for tens of thousands of dollars, but what Lille wanted was different.
According to the standards just mentioned, the donor of this lung has a physical potential of 18, which makes him the best of the best.
There may be false marks, but they definitely meet the installation standards for synthetic lung lobes.
Of course, it may not be that high when it comes to Lille, and it may continue to decline.
All I can say is, hang on to your life as much as possible.
At the same time, according to Lao Wei's judgment, it is the lungs now, and the next acute failure is likely to be the heart. Lille had better be prepared.
The blood circulation pump will increase the blood flow rate and ensure that the blood circulation capacity can match the strong breathing capacity of the new lungs as much as possible.
The accessory heart is prepared for extreme situations - for Lille, strenuous exercise may cause the organ to turn into acute failure at any time.
If the heart suddenly gives up its job, there is no hope.
The accessory heart can ensure that if his main heart stops beating, this top-notch prosthetic technology product can bring him back from the brink of death.
However, this is not a foolproof strategy, because Lille's body is very weak. If the main heart stops, the accessory heart may only be enough for him to survive for an extra hour or two.
"The next possibility is There will be some." Lao Wei prepared to perform the implantation surgery.
As usual, he should comfort Lille, but he suddenly thought of the scene where he installed Sianwistan for Lille last time.
So he changed the subject and said: "It's boring. I'll give you a copy of Prosthetic Doctor from Beginner to Master. You can watch it to relieve your boredom, and you can also learn from it."
"Okay."
Liel readily agreed.
The implantation of the prosthetic body was completed, and Lille and Lao Wei also determined how to deal with the Sianwei Stan in the spine——
Lear installed a power wall on it, but in fact it cannot be stopped once it is used. If it does this every time it encounters a problem, Lear will be buried next month.
So he decided to ask Lao Wei to fix the software system of this thing - there is no doubt that the driver of this Sian Westan is not the best version.
Of course Lao Wei is not that awesome. He can easily complete the driver development of Sianwistan. The key is to limit the power of the prosthetic body.
This actually made Lao Wei take another high look at Lille, because few people would lower the power of the prosthetic body.
Using a powerful combat prosthetic body is like a mortal stealing the holy fire. Although you are powerful, you must also bear this sin.
For mortals, power is always an irresistible temptation, but Lille chose to temporarily seal this power and only use this thing as an artificial spine.
But hackers still have to be, so Lille decided to install a network access warehouse for himself.
Generally speaking, the Prosthetic Doctor's Manual has this sentence: Si'an Westan and The network access compartment cannot be installed together, for the reasons described above.
But for Lille, he has proven that the risk of losing control does not exist.
Coincidentally, when this idea was put into practice, Lao Wei discovered that this Sri Lankan Westan itself had an interface to plug into the core chip of the network access warehouse——
It was originally designed with an interface for bridging network access to the warehouse!
Only a slight change in the wiring is needed to open the link between the access chamber chip and the cerebral cortex
It completely breaks the design guidelines.
Is it true that this prosthetic body was not originally designed to be a Sian Westan?
How weird.
