Chapter 781: "Electronic man"

In fact, the so-called electronic man, that is, the combination of man and machine, is not a concept of science fiction.
As early as 2002, more than a decade ago, the famous British cyberneticist Kevin Warwick used bold experiments to implant the chip into the body and became "the world's first electronic man."
With simple mind control, he can control some simple networked devices like a band's commander, a prosthetic hand in the laboratory, and everything else that makes people who do n’t know the truth incredible.
As for the principle of this device, it is similar to the neural access technology used by Lu Zhou, except that he does not collect neural signals on the spinal nerve, but directly collects neural action potential signals from the cerebral cortex ... When a person This signal is generated when I just want to move my limb, but I don't actually move it.
Therefore, what Xingkong Technology does is not the first experiment on "electronic man" in the world.
With regard to collecting neural signals and processing them through a computer chip, the electrical signals after modulation and demodulation are directly fed back to the electrically driven mechanical parts. This model has always been a classic problem in the field of cybernetics.
Kevin Warwick even made predictions that if cybernetics develops further, it will use infrared radar to help blind people "see" things, deaf people to "hear" sound through ultrasound, and simple electric drive Machines allow people with disabilities to get up from wheelchairs ... and eventually, humans will get rid of the plight of flesh and blood, complete the combination with machines, and become a higher existence than primates.
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 a hundred electrodes.
For the time being, this does not seem to have brought any side effects to his life, but what will happen in the future remains to be seen.
However, the operation on Li Gaoliang was undoubtedly successful.
In the second week after the operation, Li Gaoliang finally got out of bed with a small movement with the help of the nurse.
Not only that, the peeing that could not be performed freely due to paralysis of the lower limbs, with the assistance of electric drive machinery, can now also help itself ...
In short, the rehabilitation process went quite smoothly.
In the third week after the operation, Lu Zhou visited the General Hospital of Jinling Military Region again. In the rehabilitation room, he saw Li Gaoliang who was helping two parallel bars to try to walk alone.
Walking to the rehabilitation equipment, Lu Zhou looked at him standing upright and said with concern.
"How are you feeling now? How is your body recovering?"
"It's okay, except for a bit of inconsistency, basically no problem," Li Gaoliang's tone can't help but feel a bit of emotion, "To be honest, when I saw the medical certificate, I The first thought in my heart is that this life is over. I didn't expect to have a chance to stand up ... I don't know how to thank you. "
"Don't thank me, if you have to thank me, thank me for the advancement in medical technology," Lu Zhou joked.
Li Gaoliang was embarrassed and smiled.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked.
"By the way, I want to ask you something. I don't know if it's inconvenient."
Lu Zhou: "You say it."
"I am standing here and can walk now, does that mean ... what clinical trials have this surgery passed, and other paralyzed people will have a chance to stand up again in the future?"
When he said this, Li Gaoliang's tone shook slightly with excitement.
He thought of his comrades paralyzed in bed.
If this technology is so powerful, it can make him even stand up with his spinal nerve damaged, then ...
Looking at the excited expression on his face, Lu Zhou probably guessed what he was thinking, and said for a while.
"If you are just injured, you can try it, but I must remind you that in your case, the success rate of the operation is less than 10%, and even the doctor who performed the operation couldn't help it. Admiration, it's a miracle to be so successful. "
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "Moreover, don't be too happy. It remains to be seen whether this technology will be stable. If problems are found, I'm afraid you still have to suffer."
Lu Zhou's words were like pouring a cold water on Li Gaoliang's head, calming him down.
After recognizing the reality, Li Gaoliang said a little lonely.
"... I will cooperate with your tests."
Lu Zhou did not continue on this topic, saying in a modest tone: "The experiment is set aside, it is important for you to become familiar with the equipment on your body as soon as possible."
"I understand ..." Li Gaoliang nodded his head, suddenly an inexplicable thought came to his head, and said suddenly, "Yes, you said, can you change other parts of the body to the electric drive?" Titanium mechanical skeleton? "
Lu Zhou: "It is theoretically possible, but I don't recommend you to do this. With the current technical conditions, there is a great risk in each experiment. It is already a miracle to fit you with these two titanium alloy legs. Expect a miracle to happen once, so cherish this thing on your lap, don't break it. "
There is also the most crucial point that Lu Zhou did not say.
Each person's physical condition is different, and this neural access device is difficult to achieve standardized production and can only be customized individually for each person.
On the surface, it only took one operation to get it done. In fact, before the surgery started, the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research had 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 Industry Bureau is willing to bear part of the funding for this technology, it is impossible to equip each soldier with such expensive equipment.
Li Gaoliang said seriously: "... I will pay attention."
Lu Zhou nodded: "Well, then do a good rehabilitation exercise, I will almost go back to the Academy to deal with some things, I will not see you here."
Having said that, Lu Zhou turned to leave.
Just then, Li Gaoliang's voice suddenly came from behind, stopping him.
"Please wait--"
Lu Zhou stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Gaoliang was silent for a while and said, "... when should I go through the veteran formalities?"
Although his heart was full of perseverance, in his current condition, he could no longer stay in the 4th Battalion.
However, Lu Zhou glanced at him inexplicably.
"Veteran? Why did you retire?"
The moment he heard this sentence, Li Gaoliang's expression froze.
Soon, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and an incredible surprise.
Swallowing and smearing, he said with a trembling voice.
"Do you mean ... I'm like this and still have a chance to return to the army?"
"Don't you want revenge?"
Looking at Li Gaoliang with his pupils slightly contracted, Lu Zhou smiled slightly and reached out and patted his shoulder.
"There will be a chance."
...
Time passed day by day, and soon it was June.
During the period, Lu Zhou approached Wang Peng to learn about the investigation of the attack, but heard that the progress of the investigation did not seem to be particularly smooth.
At present, it can only be determined that the other organization is located in the San Regime zone on the border of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. However, it is in a war-torn area. Armed organizations and mercenaries are so numerous that it is difficult to lock the true identity of the attackers.
And most importantly, it appears that no organization intends to declare the attack complex.
As for the "tattoo" or "burning in" of the deceased, the fact that they recognize the organization behind them can only happen in movies. If they do not intend to prove their identities, it is naturally impossible to leave any evidence on their bodies that can trace their identities, and even the weapons are produced by dark workshops of unknown origin.
So far, there is only one thing that the intelligence department can be sure of, and that is the black hands behind the attack.
After all, from the Middle East to the Gurban Tungut Desert, it spans almost the entire Central Asia region.
And being able to allow twelve well-trained and heavily armed militants to cross so many borders and reach the borders of China is a very difficult task in itself.
If we can do this, looking at the entire international community, there are probably only two countries ...
The Tinder Plan is set aside for the time being.
With the passage of time into hot June ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering have announced the results of the primary election of academicians on the official website.
As expected, Lu Zhou's name appeared on the primaries of both houses without any doubt.
After the news was released, it caused a lot of sensation. The voice of the discussion even swept the screen in the BBS of major universities, and the topic became hot.
However, it is interesting to note that even if someone with just the lemon soured a few words in the post, few people questioned the result.
After all, the weight of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Prize, plus the achievements of controlled fusion and electric propulsion systems, let alone academicians of the two academies, even if they are included in the Hall of Fame that affects the world's outstanding people, No problem at all.
If it wasn't for the last co-selection just in time to catch up with the "Pangudui" controllable fusion project is going to the most critical stage, Lu Zhou, the chief designer, has no intention of participating.
Otherwise, there is no need for election this year. He is already an academician ...
