Chapter 31

The freighter drove all the way southeast into the mining area of bobei oilfield, anchored underground and approached one of the drilling platforms.

This is a semi submersible operation platform. The huge steel frame structure is divided into five layers. Due to special transformation, the top layer is the house and helicopter platform, with hoisting arms in three directions. The operators skillfully lift the containers placed on the cargo ship, slowly move them to the platform and put them firmly.

At this time, Lin Tao had gone up to the deck with others from the elevator, commanded his men to lift the container containing Wang Yanke's body into the simple construction elevator and ascended all the way to the top.

On the top of the oil well platform, there is a house with reinforced structure. The wall is made of plastic like materials. It is very thin and strong. There is a small opposite door in the middle. Lin Tao arranges guards for patrol posts and takes Hao Zhi and them in.

Hao Zhi and song Xiaojia looked nervously at the armed guards all over the oil well operation platform. There were four or five hundred soldiers up and down the small oil well, all armed to the teeth. The atmosphere was quite depressed. They didn't feel the air relaxed until they entered the door.

It is also a wide hall. Although it is not as big as the karst cave laboratory under the underground palace, it is more compact and exquisite. There are countless lines and cables on the ground. In the middle of the room, there are five or six independent worktables and countless computer screens, large and small. Many complex pictures and data are synchronously projected on the huge screen on the north wall, Data summation is being carried out.

A group of people went down the iron stairs from the entrance platform to the interior of the laboratory. Many scientists wearing white masks were busy.

A beam of light shone from top to bottom on the display platform in the middle. The medical staff hurriedly pushed a flat car. Wang Yanke's naked body was covered with white cloth and lay quietly on it

"Are you sure you want to revive her?" Lin Tao confirmed to Hao Zhi again.

"Nonsense! What else am I doing here?"

"Well, as a scandal, the myosin I developed is just nerve activation and can't establish new energy exchange." Lin Tao looked at Hao Zhi calmly. "The final result may not satisfy you."

"I don't quite understand..." Hao Zhi frowned and looked at Lin Tao.

Lin Tao went to the big screen: "to understand this, you must first understand, what is life? What is the difference between a grass and a stone?

Why do we call grass life, but stone is not life?

It is also composed of atoms, part of the material world. What is the fundamental difference between living and non living bodies? "

Lin Tao nodded to the scientist on the side. The man operated on the computer. Many complex chemical symbols appeared on the huge display screen, as well as some photos of animals and plants.

With the vivid animation demonstration, Lin Tao continued: "in the eyes of biologists, life is a unique phenomenon of organisms composed of high molecular nucleic acid protein bodies and other substances. The biggest difference from non organisms is that organisms can use external substances to form their own bodies and reproduce offspring, and have the ability to respond to stress to the surrounding environment."

"Can you make it simpler?" Hao Zhi asked blankly, showing his learning slag temperament.

Lin Tao sighed and tried to be simple again: "in other words, organisms are open systems!

Organisms are constantly exchanging materials and energy with the surrounding environment at any time. Living things can absorb new materials and discharge waste.

The things that die don't take others' and don't give others anything. "

"What does this have to do with the resurrection of Wang Yanke?" Hao Zhi looked at Wang Yanke lying there.

"Her life is over, that is to say, now she is an inanimate body and no longer exchanges energy with the outside world. Even if I revive her nerves with my own myosin, I can only revive her existing cells, but can't re-establish her metabolism. She can only be a living dead person!"

"What?" Hao Zhi grabbed Lin Tao's collar. "Isn't that the same as the zombies in the underground palace? How did you promise me?"

The mercenaries around became nervous. Lin Tao didn't care. He made a calm gesture to them: "it's different. She didn't die long enough, and the existing cells were enough to last for a period of time. Those zombies could only be active for a while, but they would be finished in half a day."

"What does it mean to hold on for a while?"

"Do you think your body won't die if you live?

Every part of your body is dying at any time, but normal people can produce new cells to replace the old ones. The new cells are more than the old cells that die and fall off. You will grow tall and grow up, otherwise you will grow old and wither. Until you are too old to be renewed, you will die as a whole and become an inanimate body.

And she herself is dead, which no one can change!

Modern science is not theological magic. We can't make life yet.

Therefore, even if she is resurrected, she can't exchange energy with the outside world. She can't eat, go to the bathroom, sweat and breathe. I can only resurrect her original body ability and let her live with her existing body like a puppet.

For example, the skin cells are renewed every 2 to 4 weeks. If the old ones die and the new ones are not produced, her skin will age, shrink and even rot rapidly within a month

The most deadly is the intestinal villi. Its renewal period is only 2 to 3 days. Maybe in the first two or three days, she can eat and drink like normal people, but gradually she can't absorb nutrition. After 3 days, she can no longer exchange energy with the outside world. The intestinal villi fall off and necrosis, and she will only keep losing weight and eat nothing... "

"Is there any use in your so-called resurrection?" Hao Zhi roared angrily.

"Useful... You can buy some time!" Lin Tao said expressionless. "Let me ask you a question. Cut off one of your fingers. Are you still Hao Zhi?"

"Nonsense, of course..."

"What about cutting off your legs?" Lin Tao continued.

"It's still me!"

"If we continue to cut according to this logic, assuming that you will not die, what is the maximum cut, you or you?"

Hao Zhi looked up and thought. He had never thought about such a philosophical problem before. Finally, he smiled helplessly: "if only the head is left, maybe I'm still me?"

"This also includes your moral cognition," Lin Tao said with a smile. "In fact, facial features are not important. The reason why a person is himself is to keep his brain!"

"The body is gone, and it's impossible to keep a brain to eat and update yourself?" Hao Zhi retorted impatiently, not knowing what nonsense he was talking about.

"No, no, no, the human brain is different from other body organs. It has been fixed since we were born. At birth, the number of brain cells is fixed, 100 billion cells. After a long life, it will only decrease and will not increase.

So you see, in recent decades, the material life of human society is extremely rich, and the average life expectancy of human beings around the world is increasing. But one thing, the highest record of human life expectancy remains unchanged. It is precisely because no matter how long human life is, it is limited by the characteristics of the brain. Even if the body life is very long, the brain will slowly shrink and become Alzheimer's disease, and life will be reduced Lost the value of existence.

We resurrected her briefly to keep her brain. It's not a matter of other body necrosis, even if we can only rely on artificial blood circulation to maintain the survival of the brain.

Then, we find a living body to replace her and transplant her brain into it. Wang Yanke can be resurrected and stand in front of you!

You know, if you don't revive her, her brain will rot into a pile of minced meat immediately. It's useless for you to think of any way at that time! "

Song Xiaojia was interested when she heard this: "change brain surgery? Can you change her body into a less beautiful body?"

Hao Zhi glared at her, the jealous girl!

"Brain replacement surgery is still impossible in current human medicine, because there is a strong rejection between different human bodies, but what they can't do, I have a way!" Lin Tao smiled proudly, "boy, if you can come to me, it means you're not too stupid!"

"Let's start! Hurry up!" Hao Zhiyi gritted his teeth. "Take one step at a time. It's already here. It's up to fate!"

Lin Tao nodded and the medical staff under his opponent gave an order: "first install an artificial heart on the dead body, then activate muscle tissue with microbial current, and finally inject myosin to reconstruct a complete nerve reflex arc!"

The scientists wearing white masks nodded, and then connected Wang Yanke's body with various external instruments, masks to help restore breathing and many electrodes to stimulate muscle response

The robotic arm of the surgical robot flew up and down silently, installed a brand-new electronic heart into Wang Yanke's chest, perfectly glued the broken blood vessels with biological glue, and quickly sutured the traumatic wound. Every detail of the operation was projected on the large screen. Various recovery data of Wang Yanke's body were displayed on many computer screens under the stage, 78% 80%……

After more than two hours, the last process is completed, and the body repair has reached 100%!

"Inject myosin!" Lin Tao ordered with a grim expression.

The robot arm injected a tube of fluorescent blue liquid into Wang Yanke's chest. Slowly, her face began to become ruddy, and the frost covered on the whole body began to melt and become crystal droplets

Lin Tao ordered: "to start the mechanical heart, we have to help myosin circulate in the blood vessels and transport it to all parts of the body!"

All the people were silent at that moment. At the most critical moment, everyone's eyes were nervously staring at Wang Yanke on the huge screen. Every eyelash could be seen clearly. Suddenly, the first beating sound of the electronic heart came from the speaker of the laboratory, buzzing, plopping

Hao Zhi's heart almost jumped with the sound and was about to rise to his throat. Everyone was shocked by the small sound and their nerves were highly nervous.

Then, the second sound came again, plop, plop... The frequency was faster and faster!

On the screen, Wang Yanke's eyelashes seem to move slightly. The lens advances and gradually scans every part of her body. Suddenly, Hao Zhi sees the tip of her right finger and a fist clenching action!
