Earth Destruction Plan

Chapter 31: Threshold of life

The freighter headed southeast all the way into the mining area of Bobei Oilfield, anchored underground and approached one of the drilling platforms.

This is a semi-submersible work platform. The huge steel frame structure is divided into five floors. Due to the special transformation, the uppermost floor is the house and the helicopter platform. There are three-directional hoisting arms on it. The operator will be skilled in placing The container on the freighter was hoisted up, moved slowly to the platform, and stabilized.

Lin Tao was already up to the deck from the elevator with the others at this time, and commanded him to lift the cargo box containing Wang Yanke’s corpse into the simple construction elevator, all the way to the top.

There is a house built on the top oil well platform with a steel bar structure. The wall is made of plastic-like materials. It is very thin and strong. There is a small side door in the middle. Lin Tao arranged guards to patrol and take Hao Zhi and the others. Went in.

Hao Zhi and Song Xiaojia nervously watched the guards with guns scattered all over the oil well operating platform. There were four to five hundred soldiers on this small oil well. The atmosphere was quite depressing, and they didn’t feel relieved until they entered the door.

It turned out to be a wide hall. Although it was not as big as the cave laboratory under the underground palace, it was more compact and delicate. The ground plate was mixed with countless wires and cables. There were five or six independent workbenches scattered in the middle of the room. With countless large and small computer screens, many complex pictures and data are simultaneously projected on the huge screen on the north wall, and the data is summed up.

A group of people walked down the iron stairs from the high platform to the inside of the laboratory. Many scientists wearing white masks were busy with their heads. A beam of light shone from top to bottom on the display platform in the middle, and the medical staff hurriedly pushed over. A flat car, Wang Yanke’s body was covered with white cloth, lying quietly on it…

“Are you sure you want to resurrect her?” Lin Tao confirmed to Hao Zhi again.

“Nonsense! Otherwise, what shall I do?”

The ugly thing is that the myoactivin I have developed is only nerve-raising and cannot establish new energy exchanges.

I don’t quite understand… Hao Zhi frowned and looked at Lin Tao.

To understand this, you must first understand, what is life? What is the difference between a grass and a stone?

Why do we call grass life, while stone is not life?

is also composed of atoms, a part of the material world, what is the fundamental difference between living and non-living forms?

Lin Tao nodded to the scientist next to him. The man operated on the computer. Many complex chemical symbols appeared on the huge display screen, as well as some photos of animals and plants. Lin Tao continued with an animated demonstration of the image. Said: “In the eyes of biologists, life is a unique phenomenon of organisms composed of polymer nucleic acid protein bodies and other substances. The biggest difference from non-biological organisms is that organisms can use external substances to form their own The body and reproductive offspring have the ability to respond to stress in the surrounding environment.”

“Can you make it simpler?” Hao Zhi still showed his academic temperament and asked blankly.

Lin Tao sighed and tried his best to keep things simple again: “In other words-living organisms are open systems, and living organisms are constantly exchanging materials and energy flow with the surrounding environment. Living things can absorb new materials. Exhaust waste, and dead things, don’t take other people’s things, and don’t give them anything.”

What does this have to do with the resurrection of Wang Yanke? Hao Zhi looked at Wang Yanke who was lying there.

“Her life is over. In other words, she is now a non-living body and no longer exchanges energy with the outside world. Even if I use the myoactivin I developed to revive her nerves, it can only show her. Some cells are resurrected, but they cannot re-establish their metabolism. She can only be a living dead!”

What? Hao Zhi grabbed Lin Tao by the collar, isn’t that the same as the zombies in the underground palace?

The mercenaries around suddenly became nervous, Lin Tao didn’t care, and made a calm gesture at them: “It’s not the same. She hasn’t died for a long time, and the existing cells are still enough to last for a while. Those zombies , It can only be active for a while, and it will be over if it lasts for a long time.”

“What does it mean to last for a while?”

Do you think that if you live, your body will not die?

Every part of your body is dying at any time, but a normal person can produce new cells to replace the old. There are more new cells than old cells that die and fall off. You will grow taller, otherwise you will age and wither until It is too old to be renewed before it will die as a whole and become a non-living body.

And she herself is dead, and no one can change this. Therefore, she will not renew and resurrect her body ability, so she can only use her existing body to live like a puppet.

For example, skin cells are renewed every 2 to 4 weeks. If the old one is dead and the new one is not produced, then her skin will age rapidly and even decay… The most deadly thing is the intestinal villi. Its renewal period is only For 2 to 3 days, in other words, for the first two or three days, she can eat and drink and absorb nutrients like a normal person. After 3 days, she can no longer exchange energy with the outside world. The intestinal villi will fall off and die, and she will only lose weight. Going down, it’s no use eating anything…

Then what do you call the resurrection still have a P use?

Hao Zhi let go of Lin Tao’s collar dejectedly, and his hand dropped weakly.

“It’s useful, you can buy some time! You must know that the human brain has the same life span as our own. It has a fixed number of 100 billion cells since we were born. It is the only human body that does not need to be supplemented with fresh cells. So, we resurrected her briefly to preserve her brain. As long as the brain can survive by artificial blood circulation before the other body is necrotic, it will be considered successful. Then, we will find a living body to replace her. You know, if you don’t resurrect her, then her brain will immediately rot into a pile of meat, and then it will be useless for you to think of anything!”

Song Xiaojia was intrigued when he heard this: “Brain exchange surgery? Can you give her a less beautiful body?”

Hao Zhi glared at her, this jealous girl!

“Brain replacement surgery is still impossible in current human medicine, because different human bodies have strong repulsive reactions. However, if they can’t do it, I have a way!” Lin Tao smiled triumphantly.

Then let’s start! hurry up! Hao Zhi gritted his teeth, one step is one step, it’s already here www.readwn.com It’s a matter of fate!

Lin Tao nodded, and the medical staff under his hand issued an order: “First install an artificial heart on the dead body, then activate the muscle tissue with a microbial current, and finally inject myoactive to rebuild a complete neural reflex arc!”

The scientists wearing white masks nodded, and then connected Wang Yanke’s body with various external instruments, masks to help breathing recovery, and many electrodes that stimulate muscle response…

The robotic arm of the surgical robot flew up and down silently, fitted an electronic heart into Wang Yanke’s chest, perfectly glued the broken blood vessels with bio-glue, and quickly sutured the traumatic wounds. The large screen Every detail of the operation is projected on the screen, and many computer screens below the stage display various recovery data of Wang Yanke’s body, 78%, 80%…

The last process is completed and the body’s repair has reached 100%. The robotic arm injects a tube of fluorescent blue liquid into Wang Yanke’s chest. Lin Tao ordered the mechanical heart to be activated to help myoactivin circulate in the blood vessels and transport it. To all parts of the body!

Everyone fell silent at that moment. At the most critical moment, everyone’s eyes were staring nervously at Wang Yanke on the huge screen. Every eyelash could be seen clearly, suddenly in the laboratory speakers. There was the first beating sound of the electronic heart, thumping…

Hao Zhi’s heart almost came to his throat with the beating, and everyone was very nervous by the small sound.

Then, the second sound came again, thumping, thumping…the frequency is getting faster and faster!

On the screen, Wang Yanke’s eyelashes seemed to move slightly, the camera advanced, and gradually scanned every part of her body. Suddenly, Hao Zhi saw the tip of her right finger and made a fist!
