In fact, the so-called electronic man, that is, the combination of man and machine, is not a science fiction concept.

As early as a decade ago in 2002, Kevin Warwick, a famous British cybernetic expert, became the "first electronic man in the world" by implanting chips into the body through bold experiments.

Through simple thought control, he can control some simple networking devices, like the commander of the band, as well as a fake hand in the laboratory, and so on, which makes people who don't know the truth strange.

As for the principle of this device, it is similar to the neural access technology adopted by the land boat, except that what he collects is not the neural signal on the spinal nerve, but directly the neural action potential signal sent out by the cerebral cortex This signal is generated when a person just wants to move a limb, but does not actually move it.

Therefore, what starry technology does is not the first experiment about "electronic man" in the world.

It is a classic problem in the field of cybernetics to collect neural signals and process them by computer chip, and feed the modulated and demodulated electrical signals back to the mechanical parts driven by electricity.

Kevin Warwick has even predicted that if cybernetics develops further, it will use infrared radar to help blind people "see" things, use ultrasound to make deaf people "hear" sound, and use simple electric driven machinery to make disabled people stand up from wheelchairs In the end, human beings will get rid of the difficulties of flesh and blood, complete the combination with machinery, and become a higher existence than primates.

At present, Professor Kevin Warwick's research is continuing. He has donated his body to his own research, implanted a silicon-based chip into his nervous system, and more than 100 electrodes.

At present, it doesn't seem to bring any side effects to his life, but what will happen in the future remains to be further observed.

However, in any case, the operation on Li Gaoliang is undoubtedly successful.

The second week after the operation, with the help of the nurse, Li Gaoliang was able to get out of bed and move a little.

It's not only that, the defecation that can't be carried out freely because of paralysis of lower limbs can also be supported by the electric drive machine

All in all, the rehabilitation work went on quite well.

In the third week after the operation, Lu Zhou visited the General Hospital of Jinling military region again and saw Li Gaoliang, who was trying to walk alone on two parallel bars, in the rehabilitation room.

Walking to the side of the rehabilitation equipment, Lu Zhou looked at him standing straight and said with concern.

"How do you feel now? How is your recovery? "

"OK, except for a little incongruity, basically there is no problem," said Li Gaoliang, his tone also can not help but bring a trace of emotion, "to be honest, when I saw the diagnosis, my first thought at that time was that my life was over, and I didn't expect that there was still a chance to stand up I don't know how to thank you. "

"If you don't have to thank me for anything, thank you for the progress of medical technology," Lu said jokingly.

Li Gaoliang is embarrassed to smile.

After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly asked.

"By the way, I'd like to ask you something. I don't know if it's convenient."

Lu Zhou: "tell me."

"I can walk here now, doesn't it mean What kind of clinical trial has this operation passed, and other paralyzed people will have a chance to stand up again later? "

When he said this, Li Gaoliang's voice was a little excited and trembling.

He thought of his comrades who were paralyzed in bed.

If this technology is so powerful that he can stand up again even if his spinal nerve is damaged, then

Looking at the excited expression on his face, Lu Zhou probably guessed what he was thinking and said in silence for a while.

"If you are just injured, you can try it, but I have to remind you that in your case, the success rate of the operation is less than 10%. Even the doctor who operated on you can't help admiring it. It's a miracle to get to this level."

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "besides, don't be too happy too early. It remains to be seen whether this technology can be stable. If you find a problem, I'm afraid you'll still have to suffer. "

Lu Zhou's words are like a basin of cold water pouring on Li Gao Liang's head, which calms him down.

After recognizing the reality, Li said a little lonely.

“…… I will cooperate with your test. "

Instead of continuing on this topic, Lu Zhou said in a relaxed voice, "let's put the experiment aside. Now it's important for you to get familiar with this set of equipment as soon as possible."

"I understand..." Li Gaoliang nodded his head, and suddenly an inexplicable thought came out of his head. He said, "by the way, do you think you can replace other parts of the body with the titanium alloy mechanical skeleton of the electric drive?"Lu Zhou: "theoretically, but I don't recommend it. With the current technical conditions, there is a great risk in every experiment. It's a miracle to be able to install these two titanium alloy legs for you. Instead of expecting a miracle to happen, it's better to cherish this thing on your legs and don't damage it. "

There is also the most critical point that the land boat did not say.

Each person's body condition is different, this kind of neural access device is difficult to achieve standardized production, and can only be customized for each individual.

On the surface, it's only one operation. In fact, before the operation, Jinling Institute of higher learning has held several special meetings to discuss the technical details of the device.

At the cost of a complete set of equipment, even if the science and Technology Bureau is willing to bear part of the cost of this technology, it is impossible to equip every soldier with such expensive equipment.

Li Gaoliang said earnestly: "it is I'll pay attention. "

Lu Zhou nodded: "well, then do a good rehabilitation exercise. I'm almost going back to the research institute to deal with some things. I won't be here to see you."

With that, the boat turned to leave.

Just then, Li Guangliang's voice suddenly came from behind and stopped him.

"Please wait a moment --"

the boat stops and turns around and asks, "what's the matter?"

Li Gaoliang was silent for a while and said: "well When shall I go through the formalities of discharge? "

Although the heart is full of reluctant, but with his current situation, there is no way to continue to stay in camp 4.

However, Lu Zhou looked at him inexplicably.

"Discharged? Why do you want to retire? "

At the moment of hearing this sentence, Li Gaoliang's expression froze.

Soon there was a flash of surprise and an incredible surprise in his eyes.

He swallowed and daubed it, he said in a trembling voice.

"You mean I'm like this, and I have a chance to go back to the army? "

"Don't you want revenge?"

Looking at Li Gaoliang, whose pupil slightly shrinks, Lu Zhou smiles and pats him on the shoulder.

"There will be a chance."

……

Time passed by day by day, and soon came to June.

During that time, Lu Zhou asked Wang Peng for information about the investigation of the attack, but it seems that the progress of the investigation was not particularly smooth.

At present, it can only be determined that the other party's organization is located in the three regardless areas of Turkey, Syria and Iraq. However, there are many armed organizations and mercenaries, so it is difficult to identify the real identity of the attacker.

And most crucially, there seems to be no organization that intends to claim the complexity of the attack.

As for the recognition of the organization behind the "tattoo" or "brand" on the dead, it can only happen in the movies. If they don't intend to show their identity, it's impossible for them to keep any evidence that can trace their identity. Even weapons are produced by black workshops of unknown origin.

So far, the only thing that the intelligence community can be sure of is that the black hand behind the attack is not small.

After all, from the Middle East to the Gurbantunggut Desert, almost across the entire Central Asia region.

It is very difficult to allow 12 well-trained and fully armed armed armed militants to cross so many borders and reach the border of China.

There are only two countries in the international community that can do this

Let's put aside the fire plan.

As time gradually entered the hot June, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering published the results of the primary election of academicians on the official website.

As expected, Lu Zhou's name was put on the primary list of the two chambers without any suspense.

After the news was released, it caused quite a stir. The voice of discussion even brushed the screen in the BBS of major universities, and the topic became hot for a while.

Interestingly, though, even if someone with the right lemon had a few sour sentences in the post, few people questioned the result.

After all, with the weight of the Nobel Prize and the fields prize, plus the achievements of controllable fusion and electric propulsion system, let alone the academicians of the two academies, even if they are included in the hall of fame that affects the world's outstanding people, there is no problem at all.

If not for the fact that the last election happened to coincide with the most critical stage of the controllable fusion project of Pangu reactor, Lu Zhou, as the chief designer, would not have participated in the election.

Otherwise, he won't be elected this year. He's already an academician
