Strange Advent: I Became a Doctor

Chapter 57: External Neuron System

Gu Dong wondered: "Motor neuron cells? Are you referring to the nerve cells that control the body's motor function?"

Meng Lizhi nodded: "This is a very tricky human cell that has no regenerative ability. If there is any damage, it will be permanently disabled.

If it is completely lost, it means that the person cannot control any muscle in the body while the brain is still awake. This type of patient is more difficult to take care of than cerebral palsy or a vegetative state. "

"Hiss," Gu Dong gasped.

According to Meng Lizhi, Gu Dong couldn't create such a complicated nervous system in the human body alone.

Suddenly, Gu Dong thought of the operation he performed on Zhou Yujun, who was completely transformed into a beast. His brain was directly exposed to the outside world, and the nerves on it were used to control the animal's shell.

"Doctor Meng, if we bypass the original motor nervous system and reshape him with an external nervous system starting from the brain, will he be able to regain control of his body?"

"External nervous system?"

Meng Lizhi fell into deep thought, imagining how this system would parasitize in the human body.

"If so, how will this nervous system be supported and embedded in the human body?"

"Doctor Meng, have you ever seen a person with abilities that completely transformed into a beast?"

Meng Lizhi nodded.

"A fully animalized ability user, in fact, the connection is the tentacles of the shell animal body extending into the brain. The tentacles are covered with various nerve connection points, which directly receive the instructions from the brain."

"You want to imitate this tentacle and build an external nervous system?" Meng Lizhi's eyes widened, "How is this possible!! Do you know how complicated the nerves of the human body are?
Do you know how many layers of nerve cells need to be transferred for each transmission of this nerve?
How difficult is it to achieve a unified instruction at the same time when these nerve cells are needed! ! ! "

Meng Lizhi asked three questions in a row, which was like a doctor's soul torture, which extinguished a lot of Gu Dong's excitement.

But he still didn't give up, how would he know he couldn't do it if he didn't try.

Gu Dong stood up suddenly, "I'll go to the second floor."

Leaving Meng Lizhi and the family members of the patients staring wide-eyed.

Meng Lizhi thought: Could it be that I have said too much?Gu Dong is angry?Are you going to finish it yourself?

Thinking about Gu Dong's reshaping of Akai's skeleton, it seems very complicated, and it is not impossible to reshape the nervous system.

Meng Lizhi still doesn't know that Gudong people can make it, but that situation is not controlled by his own consciousness, but a strange ability.

The screen came to the second floor.

Zhou Yujun has basically recovered, and is reading books leisurely.

Noticing that Gu Dong came up at this time, he asked doubtfully, "Doctor Gu? Is there something wrong?"

"Borrow something from you."

Gu Dong didn't talk nonsense, pointing to the picture of beasts on his bedside cabinet, the meaning was clear that Zhou Yujun couldn't refuse.

The corner of Zhou Yujun's mouth twitched, and he clearly felt the picture of beasts trembling and calling for help.

But he still smiled and handed over the picture of beasts.

"Thank you, I will pay you back in the afternoon."

After Gu Dong thanked him, he left directly.

Behind Zhou Yujun, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he felt emotional in his heart, "You are becoming more and more human, and you know how to say thank you."

Then he pulled out the communicator and passed on the information.

Go back to the first floor.

Gu Dong directly handed the picture of the beasts to the patient and said, "Change it for me."

Patient Chi Shen rolled his only flexible eye, "???"

Family members: "???"

Meng Lizhi: "???"

Picture of Hundred Beasts: "."

Gu Dong didn't notice this, and continued: "Small animal body, don't kill people."

The picture of a hundred beasts felt the tiny energy in Chi Shen's body, so a random beast shape can suck people dry.

A concubine can't do it.

"What, you don't want to?"

Gu Dong thought it wanted to resist, and his tone became more and more hostile.

The picture of beasts that kept howling in their hearts had no choice but to bite the bullet and upload it.

It melted quickly, and then wrapped Chishen, who was paralyzed on the flat car, all over his body.

The wrapped layer of membrane carefully swelled, thickened, and shaped, and finally turned into a two-meter-tall, skinny rat.

"Jiji??"

The big mouse opened his hands curiously, then clenched them into fists again, and then screamed excitedly, "chirp, chirp".

Gu Dong stepped forward and said, "Stand up and move about."

The big mouse stepped off the flat car and walked cautiously.

"Check again to see if your breathing is smooth and if you feel as helpless as before."

The big mouse gasped and shook its head at Gu Dong.

Meng Lizhi on the side was confused, "Doctor Gu, what is this?"

"Oh, this is complete animalization," Gu Dong explained while fiddling with the patient, "Now he is trying to control the body of this mouse."

"Is it still possible?"

Meng Lizhi was once again amazed by Gu Dong's unconstrained style.

"Run and see. OK, you can stop." Gu Dong saw that he was out of breath after running for a few steps, and he knew that the energy of this animal body was not enough. If he continued to move like this, he might be forced to exit the animal state immediately.

He turned to Shen Hong and ordered: "Go to the old man and get some food, just the piece of A-grade beast meat that he has hidden privately."

Hearing the A-grade animal meat, everyone expressed disbelief.

When Shen Hong brought up the piece of meat, everyone's eyes were glued to it, unable to move away for a long time.

This is A-grade animal meat, the size of this piece is worth at least tens of millions.

Just like that, Gu Dong casually threw it in front of the big mouse, "Eat it, otherwise the animal state will not be maintained."

Chi Shen didn't hesitate, he swallowed hundreds of catties of animal meat in a few mouthfuls.

Within a few seconds, the thin body of the mouse began to swell, and it didn't stop until it turned into a big, strong mouse.

"Chichi," thank you.

Gu Dong nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, we can start the experiment, Dr. Meng, do you want to come together?"

Meng Lizhi nodded.

Then the two dragged the dazed-looking big mouse straight to the operating room, leaving behind a bunch of confused family members.

Chi Shen asked anxiously: "Chichi, Chichi?" What are you going to do?
"You'll know later, lie down." Gu Dong pointed to the operating table emitting a cold light, and said.

"grumble?"

Can I say no?
Chi took a few steps back in fear.

Gu Dong was impatient: "Trouble, Zhou Congming."

"coming."

Zhou Congming, who walked in behind, waved his hand, and Chi Shen lost consciousness.

The operation begins.

"Doctor Meng, let's see if we can peel off the mouse's motor nervous system and embed it on its original body."

Meng Lizhi: Well, do you want to be so violent?

But he still nodded seriously.

With the knife in his hand, he first took out Chi Shen's body from the mouse's body. Gu Dong didn't move the tentacle attached to the back of Chi Shen's head.

Instead, he followed the tentacles and began to study all the motor nerve cells that spread across the rat.

three hours later.

"Now start cutting off the extra peripheral nerve cells."

Another three hours passed.

"The rest are central neurons, and you can try to link the peripheral neurons that the human body responds to."

"Doctor Gu, for this step, I suggest finding the connection point directly within the spinal cord."

"Okay, the neuronal link of the respiratory system in the field."

after an hour.

"Here's still his original spinal cord, which seems to interfere with the transmission of nerve cells, failing."

See where the nerve bundle is linked directly.

Another hour.

"It still failed. Without the support, the activity of these cells began to lose, and the experiment came to an end."

Gu Dong touched the sweat on his head and planned to peel off the tentacles from Chi Shen's head. Suddenly he found that the tentacles were still active.

Tentacles closer to the skull are more active.

"This is? It actually formed a mutual support relationship??"

Gu Dong had an idea.

"We bury this neuron system into the patient's body first to see if the activity can be restored."

After finishing speaking, the two cut open the skin on Chi Shen's back, and buried the tentacles and neuron system into the skin one by one.

Gu Dong took the initiative to pull the blood vessels over and connected them to the tentacles and the external neuron system.

"Sure enough, the main problem is that the support was not done in time." Gu Dong looked at the external neuron system that was constantly recovering, and continued: "The operation can continue."

Meng Lizhi couldn't see whether these foreign structures were active, so he could only seriously cooperate with Gu Dong's movements and offer some suggestions of his own from time to time.

Meng Lizhi said: "Since the area around the spinal cord is where the nerve cells are most dense, it is better to directly embed this outer neuron system outside the spinal cord, and then we will first connect some nodes and see the effect."

Gu Dong thinks it makes sense. It has been more than eight hours since the operation between the two, and the patient's body is probably about to fail.

"A quick solution, first solve the nerve nodes of the respiratory system."
