Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 28 Hope for a Cure

The 'neural synaptic cocooning syndrome' that Luca mentioned in his question is the same illness that his mother Gina is currently suffering from.

Now that he had acquired Baymax, a robot with more advanced medical data, he naturally wanted to find a way to cure it.

This is not only to save the company, but also for their own future development and other interests.

It was also for the sake of the mother who had loved, cared for, and looked after the original owner since childhood.

Even in the face of crisis, just before she fell into a coma, Gina was still thinking about and protecting this 'stranger'.

Luca looked at the giant white figure in front of him with a complicated expression.

Fortunately.

After quickly searching the database in the chip, DaBai immediately provided an answer.

"Neural synapse simplification syndrome is caused by (see Chapter 14) patients experiencing nerves being encased in cocoon-like mutant proteins depending on the intensity of the energy pulses they receive."

"We recommend using magnetically driven nanorobots for targeted removal surgery, which can quickly remove the damaged cocoon protein layer and restore the patient's nerve signals."

Luca, who had only listened to the first half of the speech and whose brows had just relaxed, immediately frowned again after Da Bai stopped speaking.

"Magnetic-driven nanorobots? Baymax, do you possess this kind of treatment?"

(●—●)

"With the availability of a nanotherapy chamber, or nanorobot drugs combined with a targeted magnetic navigation device, I possess the corresponding operational skills."

Upon hearing this, Luca's face immediately darkened.

Without a doubt, this thing is a medical device that only exists in the world that Baymax lives in.

The world he's in now is probably only remotely related to the 'Cradle of Regeneration' that will create Vision in the future.

However, that thing also seems to prefer repairing external injuries using nanotechnology, and whether it can achieve the effect that Da Bai mentioned is still unknown.

Still somewhat unwilling to give up, Luca continued to ask.

Do you have the manufacturing data for these two instruments in your database?

"Aside from the manufacturing process of Big White itself, no information related to the manufacture of medical instruments was found in the database."

Luca shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

However, the fact that Big White has its own production process within its database is good news.

At least Luca might actually be able to replicate a similar product using this information.

However, the current basic version of Baymax is actually quite inferior in terms of technical capabilities compared to the upgraded combat version of Baymax developed by Hiroshi Hamada.

The combat version of the Great White's unscientific flight control system, jet propulsion device, scanning enhancement device, and other equipment can be described as cutting-edge technology.

The standard version of Baymax features a high-energy-storage lithium battery, a powerful and flexible mechanical exoskeleton, a wide-range precision scanner, an evolving AI with an emotional module, and over 10,000 advanced medical records.
'Um, even the regular Baymax seems ridiculous enough!'

While Luca's thoughts were wandering...

Perhaps sensing his disappointment, Da Bai tilted its head and spoke again.

“In the absence of treatment equipment, targeted protein phagocytosis drugs can be used as an adjunct therapy. Continuous use can slowly clear cocooned proteins, and the recovery time depends on the patient’s condition.”

Upon hearing this, Luca was initially delighted, but after considering Da Bai's previous answer, his expression immediately changed, and he asked again with some uncertainty.

"Can you make this kind of targeted drug?"

(●—●)

"Relevant targeted drugs can be purchased at designated pharmacies."

As he spoke, the projection screen on Big White's chest lit up again, quickly listing a long list of names and addresses of major pharmacies.

However, when Luca saw that the top few pharmacies all started with "Jiujingshan", his initial excitement immediately vanished.

"Can you say something useful?" To everyone's surprise, the screen changed again as soon as he said that.

The product displayed prominently featured the name 'Targeted Drug for Neurosynaptic Cocooning Syndrome,' followed by a long list of chemical bonds and the proportions of several other chemical components.

"That works too!!"

"Is there a preparation process for this drug?!" Luca asked.

"No preparation process was found in the database."

Hearing this answer, Luca was somewhat disappointed, but he was not discouraged.

With the chemical structure and formulation of the drug known, at least we can see a glimmer of hope.

With the cooperation of laboratories in the relevant field, there is still a high probability that this drug can be produced.

In fact, with current technology, it is not impossible to make similar drugs.

However, firstly, this disease was already very rare before, and without sufficient demand, established large laboratories would not have taken the initiative to research this specific drug.

Now that we have a clear direction, both the difficulty and the production process will be greatly simplified. As long as we invest enough funds, it is not too complicated to successfully produce it.

After all, what Luca wanted was not to mass-produce this drug industrially and make a profit from its sale.

If it's just about laboratory preparation, it's simply a matter of cost.

"Thanks, Big White!"

Luca, whose emotions had been repeatedly stirred up by this chubby white creature, relaxed and went forward to hug its soft body without any hesitation.

'Hmm, it really does look like a marshmallow.'

Seeing himself being embraced, Big White instinctively wrapped his arms around Luca, completely enveloping him in his supple body.

"We detected that your neurotransmitter levels are steadily rising and hormone secretion is stabilizing. This indicates that your anxiety symptoms are being relieved."

Luca was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice announcement from Big White.

Then I remembered that Big White had indeed 'diagnosed' me with mild anxiety symptoms.

However, Luca simply smiled nonchalantly.

Even though he himself believed that his mindset and resilience were slightly better than the average person.

But with time travel, battles, the Orange Company, and his own personal crisis, all sorts of troubles piled up, resulting in only mild anxiety.

After giving Big White another tight hug, Luca gently pulled away and gave Big White a smile.

"At times like this, let's not talk about such discouraging things as the diagnosis results."

"This has been recorded in the care matrix, confirming the completion of treatment. To allow me to enter dormant mode, you need to say 'I am satisfied with your service.'"

Looking at the big guy's serious and methodical appearance, Luca smiled helplessly and shook his head.

'It seems I need to practice more on the dialogue and emotion modules.'

With these thoughts in mind, Luca decided not to utter the 'dormant word' and instead let Big White remain powered on and stay with him.

"I will always be by your side."

The big white dog, following the command, stood motionless in place, seemingly believing that this was enough to keep the other company.

'Sure enough, their behavior pattern is still a bit rigid.'

'Hmm, the start and stop commands also need a slight adjustment.'

'However, we still need to see just how complex DaBai's core program really is; if it's too difficult, it won't be easy to modify.'

Here's a question: If Baymax killed someone, would everyone feel bad about it?
