Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 243

[Chapter 46 Surgery]

Chapter 46 Operation

Digital Totem The entire community next to the factory area was bought, and a high-standard and well-decorated community was used as the digital totem’s staff dormitory.

Technicians who are obsessed with research in kenenm like it here, they can also have a good living environment here, and they are close to the laboratory, so they don’t have to waste time commuting to and from work.

Many of the researchers have quirks, especially when they go to bed at night, they often suddenly want to understand something, grab the employee ID card in their pajamas and run towards the laboratory.

Therefore, the group specially built a fiberglass channel between the factory and the community. Energy-saving ventilation was used in the channel to keep it warm at all times, and both ends of the channel were similar to the battery cars used in golf courses, with employee cards. can be used.

And since the passage was built, there have been more and more researchers running the lab in the middle of the night.

Due to the tension in the recent period of time, the digital totem factory and research areas have entered a state of alert, and even the entire residential community has entered a state of alert.

Since all of a sudden the entire area was filled with familiar people, there were also more “unruly” youths who blatantly wore pajamas to work and put on lab clothes to go to work.

The ease of these people really diluted the dignified atmosphere of the entire guarded area.

In the entire factory area, the established anti-aircraft missile and anti-aircraft artillery positions, and the opening of the spider series equipment, contrasted with these people.

The new research center is one of the few places that maintains a high workload at all times.

People who work here usually rest directly in the lounge in the building, and many people even put on a blanket on the sand in the office or laboratory and fall asleep.

Especially these days.

The tension here can make some newbies who have not experienced similar scenes vomit blood.

The chief surgeon, Ji Rong, has verified the preparations over and over again in the past few days. Although she is now the number one person in microsurgery and brain surgery in the world, she has never performed such an operation.

Even more than 90% of the surgical instruments were never used by her.

In addition, the external pressure is unprecedented.

Due to the intelligence mining work of Zheng Shiwen and the Security Bureau in various aspects, after discussion and research, everyone felt that with the strength of the United States, the degree of lag behind the digital totem in the field of artificial intelligence is much smaller than what they originally expected, and it may be about a year behind them.

year.

For digital totems that have reached a very high level, it is absolutely difficult to go further.

It’s a very stressful number.

The time and effort put into the work by the core of these gathered cores is further increased.

For Ji Rong, who has been working relatively loosely in the hospital, she has never worked in such an atmosphere.

The whole life is like a war.

For the observation group of this unprecedented operation, the lineup is also unprecedented.

The observation group will probably include two or three members of the Central Standing Committee, as well as a number of people from the military and core researchers of national laboratories.

As for the inside of the research center, this operation, which marks the cutting-edge achievements of the digital totem core research team, will undoubtedly attract the attention of all.

Basically the day of the surgery.

Except for the necessary on-duty personnel assigned to each laboratory, others will watch Ji Rong’s surgery on the spot or through simultaneous broadcast.

However,

Ji Rong was not defeated by the pressure.

At any rate, she is also a unique technique that she has practiced all the way. Except for her, I am afraid that no one dares to undergo this operation. She is still very confident in this point.

Another reason was that when she was looking for someone to sign the surgical order, she found a group of people playing tricks.

The top leader of the project, Lu Zhenyu, looked at the surgical drape.

He said in a puzzled tone: “Surgery, the immediate family will sign it. You bring it to Marianne. Her relationship with Little Mary couldn’t be closer.” The

surgical order was passed to Marianne.

Marianne widened her eyes and said, “It seems that she almost died in my hands. Besides, what kind of relatives are I and her? This… can’t be defined, right?” Marianne also refused.

Although this operation will definitely go on without anyone’s signature, Ji Rong is really depressed.

You don’t have to take any responsibility, why is it so weird?

Or Ji Rong’s husband.

Zhai Jiaxiong gave her a doctrine.

Zhai Jiaxiong took Ji Rong directly to Lu Xuan and left the surgical sheet on Lu Xuan’s desk.

Lu Xuan was a little puzzled: “What’s the matter?”

Zhai Jiaxiong sneered and said, “You woman, don’t you care?”

“Humph!” Linden made a loud noise behind Lu Xuan’s back.

Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed: “Don’t talk nonsense, what do you mean by my woman?”

“She left her father and home, and came to you after a long distance. When she followed you to the North Atlantic to play, she only had $212 in her credit card. I didn’t want to leave, and I didn’t complain. This kind of love is rare in this era.” Zhai Jiaxiong didn’t mind that there were many irrelevant people in Lu Xuan’s office at this time, they were all research centers. administrative and logistical staff.

Most of these jobs are held by young girls.

Compared to researchers, these people are more leisurely.

Relative to anyone, this bunch of people gossip.

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly and had no choice but to take the surgical drape and write her name in the signature box.

Lu Xuan can only do this.

Otherwise, Zhai Jiaxiong would describe the affairs between him and little Mary as a classic tragic story enough to write a TV series.

Even so, Lu Xuan also knew that gossip in the research center was indispensable.

After such a tossing, the pressure in Ji Rong’s heart disappeared.

What Ji Rong is about to operate is the world’s first microsurgery console that uses virtual reality technology.

Since the operation site is in the more sensitive area of the back of the brain, it is no longer possible to perform direct operations with human technology, and the complexity of the operation does not allow the use of fully automatic procedures. There are the best doctors to make on-the-spot judgment.

So, the madmen of digital totem came up with this thing.

The patient part of the operating table is a framed platform on which little Mary has been lying face down.

The head is supported by a flexible and rigid fixed frame, and the body is filled with various life-sustaining tubes and electrodes used to monitor various data of the human body.

Around the head, a series of observation instruments are carefully arranged, light, full electrical scans, etc., and all observation data are collected.

Generate a detailed 3D simulation of the surgical area and surrounding area with very high accuracy.

Ji Rong’s operations are carried out in an almost fully enclosed globe-shaped cockpit.

On her hands, she wears operating gloves with high-precision dynamic sensing elements, and she wears a holographic helmet on her head.

All her operations are performed with her own hands, holding virtual surgical tools against the 3D simulation map, and all her movements will be faithfully transmitted to a dedicated, high-precision manipulator hanging from the top of the room. Operate on little Mary with a movement that is completely free of ineffective vibrations.

The positioning accuracy of the whole set of things can reach one thousandth of a millimeter, and it can complete all the registered surgical projects in the world.

When the patient is not placed.

Physicians can also perform simulation training in countless surgeries in the operating room.

The only disadvantage is that the requirements for the operator are very high. This operation cannot be equipped with an assistant. In addition to always paying attention to the situation in the surgical area, other data must be inquired by yourself at any time, although the digital totem has perfect voice control. The technology is still quite demanding for the operator.

In order to make the operator more relaxed, the sealed operating room also has excellent sound quality monitoring headphones.

Let the operator choose their favorite music to relax the nerves.

If there is another disadvantage, it is that the price of this set is too expensive, and the cost of the whole set will not be less than 700 million US dollars.

Ji Rong silently recalled that he had simulated countless surgical procedures, stepped into the operation cabin, and put on his helmet.

Insert her favorite piano song into the d slot on one side. When the music played, she pressed the start switch, and the whole operation began.

The operation is divided into 3 parts. The first is to organize the tissue, to further repair and organize the tissue of the injured part of the back of the little Mary’s brain, and try to flow out the space for the second step operation without damaging the tissue.

Then a prefabricated silicon chip was placed in Mary’s brain and connected to the surrounding nervous system.

Since little Mary’s brain was severely damaged, she could not achieve perfect results by simply organizing it, and the development of digital computing theory seemed to be unable to solve all the problems.

It can only rely on digital computing theory combined with implanted chips to do the best work.

Because digital totem has a very solid research foundation for chip design and human thinking mechanism.

The two implanted chips will not have major side effects and can work in the brain for at least five to several years.

This is followed by a laser scan of a part of the brain.

This piece of brain tissue, which belongs to the unopened area in any ordinary human, is arranged and assembled into a powerful biochip.

and connect with related brain regions.

At the same time, this part of the organization also has certain overlapping functions with the silicon chip, which can ensure that even if there is a problem with the silicon chip, it is cursed to maintain the operation of Little Mary’s brain.

Finally, it is further organization and finishing, stitching work.

The entire operation is expected to last up to 48 hours.

Such an operation condenses the incalculable efforts of the best technical team of the entire digital totem.

As for the money invested before and after, it is a small matter.

Lu Zhenyu has already announced that funding is not an issue that needs to be considered in this research. Anyway, once China and India start the business, there is no need to worry about no orders and no profits.

While this remark was extremely depressing for those in the military and intelligence services, it was the most wonderful thing for all researchers.

It is precisely because of everyone’s devotion, regardless of the cost, that little Mary can have such an opportunity to undergo this unprecedented operation.

More than 5 hours after the operation, Ji Rong, whose energy consumption had already been exhausted, ordered her students to put glucose on her and prepare espresso coffee. She had no time to rest until the first stage was completed.

For most of the people in the lab, they had participated in at least part of the research, holding the instructions of the experiment in their hands, looking at the three-dimensional images on the computer screen and Ji Rong’s operations, they understood somewhat.

For those who joined in the fun to watch the operation, it was unclear.

For some, seeing surgery can be a torment.

Marianne walked away from the observation room shortly after the operation began.

At this time, the entire building seemed eerily quiet.

Marianne quietly ran into a windowless lounge in the corner, as cramped as a single cell. She didn’t turn on the light. She just draped the gray-black blanket over her body and sat on the bed with her knees curled up, as if only the In this way, it can resist the cold from all directions.

There is an inexplicable fear in her heart. It can be said that little Mary on the operating table has come to today’s situation because of her, life and death.

In today’s surgery, no one has mentioned the success rate, there is no precedent for reference, and everyone knows that the risk is high.

While blaming herself, Marianne pitied little Mary on the operating table, but she couldn’t help but associate herself with the situation of little Mary. Little Mary and her were originally one and two, two and one, she It has always been the life of little Mary.

Marianne sat for a few hours, and then a figure appeared at the door of the room, opened the door, walked in, and sat beside Marianne.

That was Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan also couldn’t bear to see someone she knew lying on the operating table, and the end of the operation seemed to be a long way off.

He was equally worried about Marianne.

Lu Xuan put her arms around Marianne’s shoulders and tightened it a little. This was the most secure move he could think of. He said softly, “In any case, after the operation, you should have your own life. .”

Marianne didn’t feel offended or anything.

All along, Lu Xuan treated her very peacefully. Although he complained at the beginning, it gradually turned into sympathy and concern for her.

When little Mary, the one who brought them together, lay on the operating table, they were all people in need of comfort.

Marianne cuddled in Lu Xuan’s arms, as if the cold on her body was gradually fading.

She didn’t speak, and she didn’t control the wild thoughts in her mind in the slightest, and soon after, she fell asleep in the company of her mixed thoughts.

During the lengthy operation, Marianne woke up once.

She found herself lying on the bed with her shoes removed and neatly placed beside the bed.

On the bedside table sits a warm box with snacks and coffee.

She looked at the food in disgust.

The surroundings were still frighteningly silent.

Marianne wrapped the blanket around her and sat against the wall, waiting slowly.

She herself didn’t know what to wait for, perhaps it was the result of the operation, or another warm embrace.

After an unknown amount of time, when Marianne was about to fall asleep again, the door was pushed open with a bang.

The bright lights in the aisle made her accustomed to the darkness unable to open her eyes.

Lu Xuan rushed up, shook her shoulders vigorously, and said excitedly, “The operation was successful! The operation was successful!” Then she hugged Marianne forcibly in her arms.

Before Marianne had decided whether she should be happy or any other reaction, Lu Xuan had already let go of her, and rushed out of the room with some delusional tone.

The whole building was still quiet, so quiet that every shriek of cheers from far and near in the building could be heard.
