Son of the Stars

Chapter 60 Rescue
Although Yang Weimin is only 36 years old this year, in many places, he feels like a person who is 63 or even older.The most obvious aspect of Yang Weimin's "aging" traits is probably the importance he attaches to life.

Ordinary doctors also value life very much, and so does Lu Chen.But they are more often performing their job duties than desperately trying to save something.

This is a very subtle difference. In fact, Yang Weimin himself feels that... the treatment for fulfilling his job duties is better.People always have to keep working, and if they pay too much attention to the content of their work, it is easy to cause problems.

Every time I am exhausted and even exhausted, how can I have the energy to meet the next patient?

But this habit...Yang Weimin really can't change it.

Lu Chen took the AI ​​robot to block the passage of the central laboratory - it is not difficult to judge from the mask patterns on the faces of those people, the AI ​​robot cannot recognize these intruders.Xiao Mu said that the program she set only adjusted the magnetic field strength and change speed, and the magnetic accelerator would continue to operate within the limits allowed by the circuit equipment.

This "permissible limit" is shown in the specific operation time of the magnetic accelerator, which is segmented operation - the power system and corresponding heat dissipation system of the central laboratory can allow 180 seconds, but it can also run at 7T for 300 seconds.

或者14T150秒，转入7T运行500秒，再转入3T1500秒。

The strong magnetic control with a duration of at least 35 minutes can allow Lu Chen to relatively safely command the AI ​​robot to complete the task of blocking the passage.At the same time it was enough for a call for help to reach the nearest town, and wait until Bureau of Investigation agents and armed forces arrived on the scene.

Yang Weimin is not worried at all now, Xiao Lu is an adult and a doctor with rich social experience.Instead of worrying about him, why not see if Watanabe lying in front of him can be saved.

Watanabe... If this state is in the hospital, then you don't need to look any further - just call the family members to declare the death.The entire back of the head and the medulla oblongata were smashed—the vital signs were all gone on the spot, which saved a hammer.

It's not that the doctors in the hospital don't want to save people, but that they don't have the means.There is a high probability that the family members will not have the money to save them.

But in the North American research institute, the equipment and technology are available - and there is no need to spend money.

Yang Weimin named his assistant AI Bian Que, and Bian Que immediately gave his advice, "Xiao Yang, this person is hopeless."

"The cerebellum and medulla are damaged, but the brain should be fine." Yang Weimin directed the AI ​​to throw Watanabe onto the operating table. "It's hopeless anyway, and there's no harm in rescuing it... Cool down immediately, first connect the arteries and veins, and establish extracorporeal circulation for the brain."

From when Watanabe fell to the ground to now entering the operating room, there was not much time before and after—Yang Weimin estimated that it was actually more than three minutes.

Four to six minutes after the heart stops beating, irreversible damage to the brain begins.And more than 6 minutes, there will be brain death.

With the current level of technology, brain death is definitely irreversible.But beyond that, at least in the field of research, the arsenal of doctors has actually expanded a lot.

Such as smarter surgical robots.

Physicians are of course unable to perform surgery, but it is not difficult at all to let the surgical robot open the knife and clamp the blood vessels according to the needs.

"You can't even measure your blood type. Isn't it a little reckless to do this?" Bian Que chatted with Yang Weimin in the tone of an old surgical director, but the operation was not slow at all, "Oh...he is really unlucky."

From the ceiling, a stainless steel hose hung down, and then tied directly to Watanabe's common carotid arteries on both sides.The protein solution at only three degrees Celsius was pressurized and injected into Watanabe's body along the common carotid artery.

The pressurized protein solution is then sprayed from the wound.

"Look, it's become a fountain." Bian Que continued to mutter and chat, while quickly starting to explore the operation, "If you're lucky, what do you plan to do after the brain is saved?"

"Preserving the brain is the basis of all treatments." Yang Weimin looked at various vital signs beside him, "Let's see the situation later... The most ideal condition is of course to rebuild the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, and then connect the brain back."

"You should have said it earlier." The scalpel and the external tube quickly extended downward, and Bian Que quickly built an external circulatory system on Watanabe's body. "His short-term myocardial ischemia is quite long, and the prognosis is probably not very good."

Yang Weimin didn't care about this: "Targeted cultivation is fine, if it's really not possible, first get a whole desensitized pig heart and use it."

"It's a good idea, but it's more expensive..." Bian Que's movements suddenly stopped, and its voice echoed in the operating room, "Oh, this is not very good. Xiao Yang, didn't you notice that there are also two holes in his heart?"

"I'm not in the emergency department. If I ask you to have an operation, I have to fool you first." Yang Weimin rolled his eyes, "Are you too busy, old thing? If there are two holes that can be repaired, they can be repaired. If they can't be repaired, they can be replaced by the outer loop."

Bian Que's operation is fast and smooth, and his response is natural, "Although I am very professional in performing surgery, I am only an AI after all. The medical procedures I perform must be authorized by the doctor - this is the content stipulated in the "Interim Measures of the Coalition Government on High-Performance AI Medical Behavior Regulations."

After a few seconds, Bian Que, who got no response, asked, "It's a good tradition to tell jokes during surgery, Xiao Yang, you should get used to it."

"How much has the temperature dropped?" Yang Weimin didn't want to chat with Bian Que, he asked directly, "Time is running out, if you drag it on, your brain will go bad!"

"It's 36 degrees two now, so it's not good to pressurize again—Watanabe's brain has a narrow mind, and if it's pressurized like this, it might explode." Bian Que's voice was helpless, "The perfusion can't keep up."

"No, there is no time..." Yang Weimin sighed, and then made a decision, "Remove the brain and soak it in ice saline—stop infusion of frozen protein solution, and infuse oxygen-rich plasma with arterial pressure."

"You really want to play with the brain in a vat?" Bian Que asked in horror, and began to dissect without hesitation, "Even if he saved his brain...it would be an extremely terrifying torture for him, isn't it good?"

Yes, even an AI can figure it out. Whether the process of "cutting the brain to save life" is feasible or not is put aside for the time being-the whole process itself is a complete nightmare for the person receiving treatment.

A relatively complete brain, soaked in ice-cold saline, will inevitably slow down the activity of the internal brain nerves.

Watanabe's thinking will become more and more sluggish, but he himself will not notice this - he will only feel that every second is as long as the previous days, or even months and years.

Without the sensory organs, Watanabe's consciousness will not be able to access any "feedback".He would not feel any "deprivation of five senses and six senses", and Watanabe could not even feel "deprivation".

Nothingness, complete nothingness will repeatedly and continuously attack Watanabe's consciousness and even personality.

Yang Weimin couldn't even let Watanabe fall into a state of continuous coma - no one knew how to simply anesthetize a brain.How much anesthesia should be used depends on whether the precursor-postbody effect caused by organ metabolism needs to be considered.

The safest situation is to let Watanabe's brain float like this in the cold salt water.

"Okay, the cooling is complete." Bian Que held a stainless steel sink, carefully put it aside and asked, "Does the body still need to be maintained?"

"Maintaining the body is always faster than inducing a copy from scratch." Yang Weimin said without hesitation, "Let the induction room prepare the neural stem cell gel... You should act faster and replace all the organs that need to be replaced."

"Poor Mr. Watanabe." Bian Que obviously didn't agree with Yang Weimin's solution, "I don't know if he can wake up—and I don't know if the person who wakes up is still Watanabe."

Yang Weimin sighed, "The living have the right to worry about these things, the dead...then it's over when they're dead. I just can't bear it, so I just have the guts to give it a try."

Bian Que’s voice was like that of a cross talk actor, and it said in a rhythmic voice, “You can try to save the damage to the cerebellum and medulla, and the treatment plan is quite complete. If Mr. Watanabe can really wake up, the Academy of Sciences will definitely give you an academician this year.”
