Chapter 549 The third-generation prosthetic technology of leap propulsion
The person with the highest degree of prostheticization in Lille is the former engineer of Cyber Technology Company, Michael, also known as the Death Warrior.
The prosthetic body used by this man is indeed lagging behind the second-generation prosthetic body that uses artificial muscles, but its gold content is not low at all. They are all matched with high-power motors and high-strength metals, and the manufacturing cost alone Just over one million U.S. dollars, not counting the ammunition carried.
However, lagging behind is lagging behind, and the shortcoming of the death warriors is that they are stupid: this is a successful demonstration of the application of brain-computer interface, but it is not a successful demonstration of prosthetic bodies.
The designer brutally removed Michael’s skull, detached the head and eyes, and placed it on a humanoid robot. There was no design related to neural simulation and bionics, not even the brain-machine Signal demodulation uses very primitive and inefficient binary.
Rather than saying that a person is equipped with a prosthetic body, it is better to say that a wetware computer is placed on the prosthetic body, and the efficiency is almost undeveloped.
The impact of comprehensive prosthetics is subtle: Michael has now removed those heavy combat prostheses and replaced them with artificial muscles from International Gene Cooperation, which is the company's most cutting-edge prosthesis. The data provider is also a prosthetic developer. The full-body prosthetic "Ronin" designed by Leal for the Whirlpool Gang and Tiger Claw Gang is integrated with his design.
As soon as he heard that Lille wanted to be fully prosthetic, he immediately spoke:
[Michael: Boss, I can give you a plan now. 】
[Michael: And, boss, I know you are a bit crazy, and I strongly recommend that you adopt the experimental technology of the third generation prosthetic body. 】
He knows best which parts can be fully prosthetized. In fact, he has been thinking about it for a long time.
Because he was passively used as an experimental subject, he has lost the qualification to go back to the past. The prosthetic body is very cool, but after living for such a long time, he sometimes misses the feeling of the breeze and the warm sun. .
But this kind of sophisticated feedback requires even higher equipment, which is part of the third-generation prosthesis in the development plan—precise neuroreceptors.
Lille took a quick look and found that Michael’s full-body prosthetic plan for him was indeed stuck at the limit of safety:
First of all, the limbs must be completely replaced, which is the easiest to replace. For parts, carbon fiber and alloy are used to replace bones, and artificial muscles are used to drive. There are no parts that cannot be replaced, and the strength and durability can be improved.
Next is the trunk, which contains important large muscle groups such as abdominal muscles and chest muscles, and there are many important organs that can be replaced in the cavity, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, stomach, and intestinal system.< br>
All are redesigned and replaced based on the functional tissues of their respective organs. Only some glands that can produce complex biological enzymes and immune cells are retained, and the degree of prostheticization is close to 90%.
Everything above the neck except the eyes and the nervous system close to the brain has been replaced, and the degree of integration is close to 70%.
The overall degree of prostheticization exceeds 80%, which is a safety plan.
The radical solution is to completely dismantle the spinal cord nervous system, use new artificial nerve fiber cells to reshape the spinal cord peripheral nervous system, and at the same time reconstruct the peripheral nervous system, including the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
If successful, it will actually be a great enhancement to Lille's condition: because all his nervous systems, including his brain, have been in abnormal working conditions for a long time, even if the lizard serum is used, tumors will produce tumors that will compress these nervous systems. Reduce the computing power of a wetware computer.
Without the little octopus and the magical Sianwistan that can carry dangerous critical bodies, without these two combining to mobilize computing power to make up for functional deficiencies and compensate for computing power, his performance would have been poor. Significant decline in physical movement ability, thinking ability and calculation power during combat.
If it is completely reconstructed, it means that only the irreplaceable brain in the nervous system may develop brain cancer——
Although it is still serious, at least there will be no problems elsewhere. .
The problem now is that the reason why radical plans are called radical is that people don’t know the consequences of doing so.
There are dozens of research options for reconstructing the nervous system, involving hundreds of materials, and the possible combinations are ever-changing.
Carbon nanotubes, graphene nanosheets, flexible electrodes, microelectrode arrays, biocompatible conductive polymers, biomimetic collagen fibers, gold nanoparticles
So many solutions, so many The materials and animal experiments have not yet been completed, and the data are pitiful.
[Connors: This is too risky. 】
[Michael: Yes, but this is the best option. It’s done in one step. The more prosthetics we have, the better the life-sustaining effect will be. Maybe we can make a new breakthrough in a week or two. . 】
[Otto: Or other side effects due to the radical plan]
[Adrian: This is indeed risky, but it is also a treatment plan. 】But these are not reliable solutions, because the life-extending effect is estimated to be only a few weeks in the end.
In the meeting, Peter and his assistant Gwen, as the two youngest researchers, watched Lille face this choice, and it was very likely that no matter what choice he made, he would still have little effect. They were so uncomfortable that they didn't know what to say.
But the selection of artificial nerve fiber materials, high-precision and high-standard third-generation prosthetic technology, and a large amount of data——
These things are exactly what Lear is about to come into contact with. There will definitely be such things in Dog Town. Although everyone, including Bryce and Ryan, seems to say that there must be technology that can save his life, but he Don't like to be hung by other things.
He wants to walk into the next target location with a plan, and now he has a plan.
[Lille: Prepare for the surgery, but I want to design the surgery myself - Michael, you did a great job, but I want to decide for myself. 】
[Michael: I understand you, boss, all of us are listening. 】
【Lille: The operation may last for a while, I will provide prosthetic design plans according to the stages, as for the others】
[Lille: Everything else is as usual. I have a piece of industrial data that will be uploaded to the Internet later. If you have time, you can take a look. There are also some documents on controllable nuclear fusion. 】
[Otto: Speaking of this, Lear, are you serious? 】
[Lille: I never tell lies. Yes, I believe we will have a breakthrough soon. 】
[Lille: Secondly, there are some changes in the agreement between President-elect Barnes and me, and the recent business strategy needs to be adjusted. 】
Chrysler and General Motors are about to merge into a new vehicle division. They just did not foresee the financial crisis, but the ability to operate the company is sufficient. This part allows them and Hammond Collaborate together.
The design data brought by Pepper can benefit many engineers. For example, some of the high-performance thruster designs may give Adrian some new ideas to completely improve the floating car engine.
The last thing is this so-called business strategy——
Lear wants to decipher Stark Industries’ corporate network. Considering that Jarvis may have become a dangerous critical body, Skye also There is no way to fight against AI alone, so he'd better keep an eye on the work here.
Finally.
The last thing is to settle my mother.
Lille restarted the artificial heart, regained some energy, got up from the medical bed and left the ward, ready to talk to his mother about placement.
To be honest, telling the truth about his physical condition to his mother made Lille a little uneasy. After all, reporting good news but not bad news was a habit he had developed over a long time, and it was difficult to break it all at once.
But Maya is stronger than he thought -
Watching her son being disembowelled, looking at the various artificial implants on his body, looking at his weakness He was lying on the bed and was sentenced to death.
Maya just wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, did not cry loudly, and sat quietly on the sofa waiting for Lear to speak.
Just as she once said: she will not interfere with Lille's decision, and will control herself not to affect Lille.
Her love for her son is a continuation of her union with her husband, but she will never let this feeling please her respect for Lille as a person.
Parents' love sometimes needs to be restrained, and she understands this.
It just makes Lille feel a little guilty, not only because he wants to make his mother fall into this kind of worry and entanglement, into this kind of fear that seems to fall into the abyss again, but also because
Grandpa’s hard work He risked his life to send his mother out of Latvia, but he might have to send her back.
