Chapter 378 Time flies
Unknowingly.
Another half year has passed.
The time came to January 2031.
Deep in the scientific research base of Jiesheng Town of Shanmei.
Jiang Miao visited here again.
Those who came with him included Wang Lifeng and others.
"Old Wang, I think you can hand in your results this time."
"Thank you for your good wishes, Academician Jiang." There was also a hint of excitement in Wang Lifeng's one eye.
The two came to the underground testing ground in the north of the base.
Under the guidance of relevant staff, they saw twenty sets of black helmets packed in specific storage boxes.
enter password.
Ding! The lid of the storage box pops open automatically.
Jiang Miao did not touch it, but looked at Ruan Xianming, the researcher who was responsible for introducing the product to them.
Ruan Xianming was a little nervous and could only introduce the product's functions to everyone in a methodical manner. He was also a little overwhelmed because the chief researcher of the base who was originally scheduled to give the lecture today suddenly fell ill, and several other important scientific researchers were also traveling out of town for the holiday.
Ruan Xianming was forced into doing this.
Fortunately, Jiang Miao was not the kind of person who cared too much about appearances. He smiled and comforted her, "This is an emergency today. Don't be too nervous. Just explain the actual situation of the product to us."
Wang Lifeng also noticed that the researcher was tense. He knew that the researcher was probably a nerd who was not good at dealing with the ways of the world, so he also joked:
"I am here to be a student today. You, as a teacher, must have confidence and speak boldly. Anyway, it won't be a big problem to report to the product."
"Thank you, Boss and Director Wang, for your understanding. I will start..." After calming down his fluttering heart, Ruan Xianming took another deep breath and started introducing the product report:
"Everyone knows the name of this product, so I won't say much. Now I will directly talk about the development process, product functions and future prospects of this product."
Jiang Miao nodded slightly, but did not speak, waiting for the next step.
The same goes for Wang Lifeng and others.
When talking about the content of the product, Ruan Xianming seemed like a different person. He used all kinds of professional terms at will, which was a bit of a test of the listeners' level of biological knowledge.
Fortunately, Jiang Miao did not rely entirely on him, but from time to time he provided "colloquial translation" to Wang Lifeng and others, turning those obscure professional terms into more understandable popular language.
After about twenty minutes, Ruan Xianming's explanation finally came to an end.
Jiang Miao turned his head and looked at Wang Lifeng: "Old Wang, how about giving it a try?"
"Okay! After all, we'll know whether it's a mule or a horse after we take it out for a walk." Wang Lifeng agreed to the proposal directly.
According to the instructions in the product report, insert a special temporary binding identity card into the card reader slot of the storage box.
drop!
A line of text immediately appeared on the small screen on the surface of the storage box:
[Please prepare to wear the equipment...]
According to the instructions, Wang Lifeng had to clear away all foreign objects from his head, unless they were nanodevices implanted in the head, which could remain on the head.
Things like glasses, hair accessories, earrings, headphones and the like cannot be left on the head, and hair cannot be longer than 5 cm.
Wang Lifeng naturally didn't have these things, and his hair was also relatively short, so he didn't need any other preparation.
Picking up the black full-cover helmet, he put it directly on his head.
Press an adaptive switch and the foam inside the helmet will automatically expand, allowing the inside of the helmet to fit tightly against the sides, top, back of the head, back of the neck, and part of the chin and neck.
Then, his mouth and nose were also pressed down by a special adjustable mask. This was a special breathing mask, which was also designed to prevent the mist produced by breathing from accumulating inside the helmet and then adhering to the glass lens.
The glasses part of the helmet is different on both sides.
One side is a traditional acrylic lens, but with a bulletproof coating.
On the other side are adjustable biological glasses, which can be adjusted left and right, mainly considering usage habits and excessive eye use.
Wang Lifeng pressed another button.
Suddenly, the color-changing cell film mirror inside the corresponding biological glasses of that visible eye showed special changes.
“Is this the infrared mode?”
The other people in front of me have spots of different colors on their bodies, mainly red, crimson, orange, black, blue and white.
These colors make up the "heat layer".
Clear human figures appeared before Wang Lifeng's eyes.
Then he pressed another button, and after a few seconds, the infrared eyes switched to magnetic field eyes.
Of course, what the magnetic field eye sees is not a world composed of magnetic field lines in the true sense, but it is transformed into a special blue, purple, white and black scene after adjusting the input mode.
The reason for this adjustment is mainly to allow users to adapt and use it quickly.
Although the magnetic field eye can see the magnetic field, if it is not specially processed, the data will be like a mess, and the ordinary person's brain will not be able to process this level of information.
The scene in front of Wang Lifeng at this moment was very strange.
Because he saw the material world composed of different colors.
The four colors mainly represent four types of substances. For example, metals are generally black, solid compounds are generally blue-purple, and gaseous substances are generally white.
In addition, when electrical appliances are used nearby, black ripples will appear in the field of view of the magnetic field eye.
Wang Lifeng's voice came from the helmet: "How do you use mind control?"
"Press the red button."
As he pressed the red button.
Several miniature nano-needle brain signal readers inside the helmet quickly popped out nano-needles and pierced into Wang Lifeng's brain neurons.
Wang Lifeng only felt a sudden itch on his head, but there was no tingling sensation. Apparently, this was because the nanoneedle tubes were too small, making it impossible for the body's pain nerves to respond.
He tried to concentrate.
'The system switches to telescopic eye mode.'
Three seconds later, a very clear normal eye vision appears on the color-changing cell film of the biological glasses.
'Use the 5x telephoto.'
The field of vision changed rapidly, and the patterns and words on some test targets in the distance of the test site became much clearer. Wang Lifeng tried to switch between various modes.
I found that there was a buffer of about three seconds for each operation, and it was impossible to switch as quickly as normal eyes.
Of course, he knew that the reason for this situation was mainly because he had not undergone surgery to implant a brain control unit.
The so-called brain control unit is actually a supporting technology derived from the development of biological assisted helmets.
This brain control unit is also an artificial organ. Its main function is to output the brain's brain wave signals to the outside, allowing people to control external biological equipment very easily and quickly.
The brain control mode used by Wang Lifeng at this time uses nano sensors and electronic devices to make changes. There must be a buffer time between the two.
Why do these two control modes appear?
Mainly, both have their pros and cons.
The advantages of brain-controlled organ units are that they have almost no delay, are independent of chip computing power, have no possibility of being hacked, and do not require a separate power supply system.
The downside is that this brain control unit is an invasive implant that requires a small craniotomy.
The advantage of electronic brain control devices is that they are almost non-invasive, easy to remove, and can be continuously updated and iterated as technology improves.
But its disadvantages are also very obvious. Since it is an electronic device, there is a possibility of interference and invasion. At the same time, this thing also needs to rely on an external power supply. Once the power is lost, the entire system will be paralyzed directly, and finally there will be the problem of delayed response.
Judging from the current test results, Wang Lifeng is inclined to use the brain-controlled organ unit, because the biological equipment based on the biological assisted helmet is an independent system specially developed to bypass existing electronic equipment.
If we still keep electronic brain control devices, wouldn't that be like taking off your pants to fart?
As for the negative effects of craniotomy.
In fact, today's surgical procedures have improved greatly compared to the late golden age.
The gradual application of various new drugs and new technologies has made craniotomy safer and more efficient.
For example, there is now a medical auxiliary device called "nano-stapler".
This nano-suture device, once attached to the scar of a wound, can instantly fix the wound so that the wound does not need to be sutured. When the time is up, simply tear off the nano-suture device tape without removing the stitches.
Although there were absorbable sutures in the past, they will eventually leave obvious suture marks.
In addition, this nano-suturer can not only suture the skin surface, but also the deep dermis, muscles, and bones inside.
As long as the patient does not engage in strenuous exercise after applying the nano-suture tape and waits for the wound to heal naturally, there will be no serious sequelae.
There is also a medical product called muscle glue.
This thing can temporarily glue the cut muscle tissue together. The side effect is that during the effective period of the muscle glue, the muscle tissue in this area will become hard, which will last for more than a month.
But there are also many benefits.
For example, many patients still like to move around after surgery or injury, or accidentally press or pull the wound while sleeping, causing the internal wound to rupture again, unknowingly increasing the healing time.
After using muscle glue, I couldn't move at all, and the muscles in that area were almost fixed.
This special auxiliary treatment product is most commonly used in leg injuries and is better than plaster.
After the injection, the whole leg becomes stiff, and even if the patient makes some large movements, it will not affect the injured part.
In surgery, two other important new inventions are also very important for the development of modern surgery. They are a pair of brother technologies: artificial vascular stapler and artificial neural dendrite stapler.
You know, after a limb is broken, even if it is sutured again, it is difficult to restore its function 100%.
Large blood vessels are easy to connect, but capillaries are basically impossible to reconnect.
But when the nervous system is broken, the body can only recover on its own.
It is different now. Artificial vascular anastomosis devices and artificial neural dendrite anastomosis devices can ensure that the capillaries and nervous systems are restored to normal connection.
The principles of these two products are very special.
For example, an artificial vascular anastomosis device is essentially an absorbable micro-blood vessel cluster that is directly inserted into the broken wound and then the wound is sutured.
After the wound is completely healed, the blood vessels on both sides can be closed and opened through the nanosensors in the micro-blood vessel clusters.
This selection process is a process of continuous testing. Some useless artificial blood vessels will be discarded, and those that are retained will be injected with a vascular reconstruction agent using a nano-syringe to allow new blood vessels to be generated inside these artificial blood vessels.
After about half a year, the artificial vascular anastomosis devices remaining in the body will be naturally absorbed by the human body.
The artificial dendritic stapler works on a similar principle.
The original part is first replaced with an artificial one, and then drugs are used to allow the body to regenerate new blood vessels and nerve dendrites along the artificial part.
It is precisely because of the emergence of this new technology that even broken limbs can be restored to normal through treatment.
These treatments are not only applicable to newly occurring disabilities, but also to limbs that have been sutured but whose functions cannot be restored. They can also be reoperated on and then restored to normal through rehabilitation training.
Some of the technology is managed well in Seris.
However, in hospitals in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places, the management is relatively relaxed.
Especially in Europe and the United States, many wealthy people will secretly come here for limb enlargement surgery for some special needs.
In the past, rich people would basically not undergo this type of surgery because the risks are very high. After the operation, the enlarged limb will no longer have nerve dendrites and will have no feeling to natural elements.
But now we have artificial vascular anastomosis devices and artificial neural dendrite anastomosis devices, and after limb augmentation surgery, the enlarged cloned part will have the same somatosensory sensation as the original organ.
The emergence of new technologies has significantly reduced the risks of many surgical knives.
Wang Lifeng believed that the risk of craniotomy was not great, and he planned to take the lead. After this test, he would perform the brain control unit implantation surgery in Hailufeng Hospital.
After all, only by using a biological brain control unit can the function of a biologically assisted helmet be fully utilized.
Otherwise, once a command is issued, the biologically assisted helmet will take three seconds to react, which greatly increases the risk.
After all, no one can guarantee that the usage scenario is a safe zone where slow operations can be performed.
If used in a battlefield behind enemy lines or in an infiltration operation, the biological equipment will be delayed by three seconds for each command, which will increase risks and uncertainties.
Electronic brain-control devices and biological assistance devices are, after all, two different systems. Forcibly putting them together not only limits the performance of the devices, but also adds many weaknesses.
Not only Jiang Miao was unwilling to do so, Wang Lifeng also didn't want to play with this weird stitching device.
Wang Lifeng continued testing for more than half an hour.
Then several other members of the inspection team also took turns to experience the various functions of the biological assisted helmet.
While others were trying it out, Wang Lifeng whispered to Jiang Miao, "Generally speaking, this set of equipment meets our initial idea. I plan to order 1000 sets first and distribute them to several specialized institutions to let them try it out for a while so that I can collect usage information."
Jiang Miao had no objection to this: "No problem, Lao Wang, you can make arrangements based on the situation when the time comes!"
