American Evil God, starting with the American rebel leader raising poisonous insects.

Chapter 118 Resurrection? At least physiologically.

Cullen Alexander waited three seconds.

The silence in the conference room continued, like a transparent film pressing on everyone's hearts.

The professors remained leaning forward, their eyes fixed on the array of organs on the screen, which had been disassembled and were now individually viable.

Then he spoke, his voice steady: "Everyone, this isn't over yet."

He turned to the screen: "Messal, resurrect him."

"One drop"

The notification sound is crisp.

Inside the glass enclosure, the previously stationary robotic arms were reactivated.

But this time the movement is in the opposite direction; instead of separating outwards, it is converging inwards.

Start from the core.

The power furnace was the first to be moved.

Four robotic arms worked simultaneously to detach it from the extracorporeal circulation pump and place it back in the center of the chest cavity.

Meanwhile, the other three arms will reconnect the severed costal cartilage.

The alignment angle of each rib is calculated in real time to ensure that the thoracic cavity volume is fully restored.

Then there are organs.

The liver, kidneys, stomach, and intestines—they are removed from their respective perfusion systems and returned to their original anatomical positions.

The robotic arm's movements exhibit a dynamic precision.

When the liver is placed, the three arms simultaneously handle the connections of the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct;

The moment the kidney is inserted, the ureter is already connected to the bladder;

When the intestines return to their original position, the mesenteric vascular network reconnects like a jigsaw puzzle.

The entire process was uninterrupted.

Blood is reinjected. This is not a simple perfusion, but a simulation of the circulatory system reconstruction process.

First, establish the main vascular access, then restore the branches step by step, and finally the capillary network.

The robotic arm simultaneously performs hemostasis and anastomosis reinforcement.

Muscle layer recovery.

Pectoralis major, rectus abdominis, latissimus dorsi — each muscle is removed from the solution and returned to its original attachment point.

The robotic arm uses absorbable sutures to reconstruct tendon connections, with the tension of the sutures adjusted in real time to ensure that the muscles do not tear when they regain their contractile function.

Cain held his breath.

He saw the robotic arm handling a detail: as the rectus abdominis muscle was repositioned, the AI ​​simultaneously processed the suture of the suture linea alba, maintaining a uniform stitch spacing of 2.3 millimeters, which is the average fiber spacing of the human body's own connective tissue.

Next is the soft exoskeleton.

The completely peeled-off "skin" was then re-covered.

The robotic arm uses tweezers to grip the edge and pulls it back to the body surface as if laying out a bed sheet.

During the fitting process, the subcutaneous tissue of all eight arms is simultaneously aligned and sutured to ensure that the vascular network of the dermis and the underlying muscles is reconnected.

The most difficult part is the brain.

All four culture tanks were opened simultaneously.

Frontal lobe, topical lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum, brainstem —

These isolated brain regions were retrieved by a robotic arm in a specific order.

First, the brainstem is placed back at the base of the skull to reconnect with the spinal cord; then the cerebellum; and finally, the lobes of the cerebral cortex.

The neural connection has begun.

Under a 40x magnifying lens, the microneedle array at the end of the robotic arm can be seen.

Each needle is aimed at a specific nerve bundle or fiber bundle, which is then bonded together with bioelectric glue while simultaneously injecting neurotrophic factors.

The connection between the hippocampus and the title lobe, the left and right hemisphere pathways of the corpus callosum, and the projection fibers between the thalamus and the cortex —

Millions of connections were completed within five minutes.

The skull was put back on and sealed with a biological fixative.

The final step.

The robotic arm applies a layer of transparent gel to the body surface, rich in stem cell-like cells and growth factors.

The gel penetrates rapidly, promoting wound healing and epidermal regeneration.

Then, electrodes were extended from both arms and placed on the Gundam's temples.

Current flows.

"ah-!"

A short, sharp cry escaped from Gundam's throat.

The chest rises and falls once.

All vital signs monitoring curves are normal.

However, the EEG stalled.

The robotic arm stopped moving and retracted into its base.

The tablet in Cullen's hand emitted a sweet, electronic female voice, using Hatsune Miku's voice pack: "Report: Correction needed."

"Because there is a lack of sufficient neural network mapping information during the brain's regional reintegration process, conscious activity and higher neural functions have failed to be restored."

"The current result cannot be defined as resurrection, but only as a biological state of survival, which is estimated to last for four to six hours until the cell-level apoptosis process is initiated."

The room was so quiet you couldn't even hear breathing.

More than forty professors stood frozen in place, like a group of sculptures suddenly frozen in time.

The only sound in the air was the faint hum of the air conditioning system.

Clang.

A pen slipped from a professor's hand and fell onto the carpet with a dull thud.

Then the conference room exploded.

"What is this?!"

The first person to stand up was Professor Watson from the Department of Neuroscience. He was over sixty years old and usually needed a cane to walk, but at that moment he almost sprang up from his chair.

"Resurrection? No—this is organizational restructuring! But how could it be?"

What are the mechanisms by which the immune rejection response is avoided during extracellular matrix remodeling?

Professor Chen, a pathologist, pushed back his chair and rushed to the front of the stage, his face almost pressed against the glass dome. "After being outside the body for more than forty minutes, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the tissue should have already triggered the apoptosis pathway!"

"There's also ischemia-reperfusion injury!"

Another voice cried out, "How do you solve the problems of calcium overload and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse during reperfusion? How can those organs maintain their ATP synthesis rate while in a state of isolation?!"

"The plasticity and remodeling of neural synapses!"

Professor Watson's voice trembled. "Even if the physical connection is restored, the signal transduction protein complexes of the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes need to be reassembled, which takes time and requires the gradient guidance of neurotransmitters."

What about the blood-brain barrier?

Another person squeezed in, "After the brain is reassembled by separating and separating its regions, the tight junction proteins of the blood-brain barrier will break. How do you rebuild the ZO-1 and occludin protein network in six minutes?"

Problems came crashing down like cannonballs.

All the professors left their seats and rushed to the front of the stage.

The area in front of the glass enclosure was crowded with people, with people in white coats and suits pushing and shoving each other, and no one seemed to care when someone stepped on another's foot.

Everyone wants to see things more clearly, to find the flaw that can explain everything.

Kain Heinrich was also in the crowd.

He squeezed to the left, pressed his face against the glass, and his eyes were less than thirty centimeters away from the towering figure inside.

He was looking at the details.

Sutures.

Muscle attachment point.

Vascular anastomosis.

Healing gel for the skin edges.

From his professional perspective, the assembly process was not perfect.

There is a 0.5 mm misalignment between the left third rib and the costal cartilage.

A small blood vessel at the lower edge of the right lobe of the liver was not fully reconstructed and was compensated for by collateral circulation.

At the junction of the brainstem and medulla oblongata, the suture spacing of the dura mater is uneven.

But these flaws are all unimportant.

No, it's not that it's unimportant, it's that it falls within an acceptable range of error under current technological conditions.

The important thing is that the power furnace is beating.

The lungs expand and contract with the assistance of a ventilator.

The kidneys are producing urine, which flows out through the newly connected catheter.

There are peristaltic waves in the gastrointestinal tract.

All major functions are working.

Besides the brain.

Cain's gaze shifted to Gundam's head.

The skull was closed, and the inside could not be seen, but the monitoring screen showed that the brain waves were an almost flat line with only occasional low-frequency delta waves, which are the waveforms of patients in a deep coma or brain death.

AI is right.

This is not a resurrection.

This involves disassembling a precision instrument and then reassembling it so that each part can still function.

But the instruction manual was burned, so the instrument doesn't know what to do.

"Is this a miracle?"

Cain heard himself mutter to himself.

The voice was very soft, but amidst the noise, the people around him heard it.

Cullen Alexander's voice came from the side: "Yes, Professor. This is a miracle of the Lord descending through Noah Technology Corporation."

He walked up to Cain at some point, still holding the tablet in his hand.

"certainly,"

He added, speaking in a tone reminiscent of a technical report, "The main reason is that Johns Hopkins University provided sufficient and comprehensive medical data and clinical examples to support it."

"Otherwise, even for a subsystem of Noah AI, it would be quite difficult for Messier to iterate to this extent."

At this moment, the dean walked onto the stage.

He tapped the microphone, but no one answered. He raised his voice: "Professors! Please calm down!"

The crowd quieted down a little, but their eyes remained fixed on the glass enclosure.

"This is a strategic partnership between Johns Hopkins University and Noah Technologies."

The dean announced, his voice echoing through the room via speakers, "From today onward, all key laboratories in the medical school will be connected to the Messier AI-assisted research system. It will help us handle complex surgical simulations, drug development modeling, and—"

"As you just saw, this is research on bio-tissue engineering under extreme conditions."

He paused for a moment and scanned the entire room.

The professors' expressions varied, ranging from fervor to fear to a complex mix of doubt.

"This is a revolution."

The dean said, "In the field of human medicine, for the first time we have a near-universal assistive intelligence. Thank you to Noah Company, and thank you to everyone present for your years of research and accumulation."

He said polite words, but inwardly he was astonished.

Noah AI's performance far exceeded expectations.

When the project was launched, the other party promised "an AI system that can assist in the planning of complex surgeries".

But what is being shown now is the disassembly and reassembly of a living organism. Although it has not been truly "resurrected," its survival in a biological sense is already quite astonishing.

The dean recalled a statement made by Noah's chief technology officer during a closed-door meeting last week: "Our goal is not to imitate doctors, but to understand life itself."

At the time, he thought it was an exaggerated advertising slogan.

Now he's uncertain.

A thought flashed through the dean's mind.

Noah Corporation—could it be that they really obtained "that"?

As the dean of the medical school, which originated from the seminary, he knew the history of Johns Hopkins better than anyone else.

The founders of the school were theologians.

They believe that the human body is God's most ingenious creation, and that medicine is a way to approach the Creator by understanding the creation itself.

And the electorate has indeed emerged, as has the one who creates divine punishment.

He also dreamed of becoming one of the Lord's chosen people.

Now, looking at that Gundam inside the glass case, disassembled and reassembled, still breathing—

The dean suppressed his thoughts.

He needs to take control of the current situation first.

"Everyone,"

He spoke again, "The demonstration is over."

"Specific technical details and access procedures will be sent to your campus email addresses later. Now, please return to your respective labs in an orderly manner."

The crowd began to slowly disperse.

But many professors left reluctantly, turning back every few steps, their eyes still glued to the glass dome.
