Dream Guide

Petru put the female body down and lay on the ground with her back to the balance as requested by Aoki.

Aoki pinched the female corpse's cervical spine, and the bulge became more obvious.

"Give me the knife." He stretched out a hand, but his eyes did not leave the female corpse's cervical spine.

Su Huilan also saw the bulge. At first glance, it looked a bit like a patient with severe cervical spondylosis, but if you look carefully, it was still different from the dislocation of the vertebrae.

Generally, cervical spondylosis is caused by long-term strain, resulting in intervertebral disc prolapse and even serious displacement of vertebrae. There will be obvious bulges in the cervical vertebrae. But the bump on the female corpse didn't look like a bone bulge, but more like a sarcoma.

Even though Su Huilan was curious, she didn't ask any more questions. When she saw Qingmu reaching for the knife, she knew what he was going to do. When he completed the dissection, everything would become clear.

Petru pulled out a military dagger and handed it to Aoki.

Aoki used a knife to gently cut open the skin on the back of the female corpse. He cut very carefully, starting from the skin tissue around the raised bag, like a surgeon.

All the peripheral skin and flesh were cut away, and the epidermis on the sarcoma was lifted, revealing a small, square, hard, creamy yellow piece the size of a fingernail.

Although military daggers are sharp, they are not scalpels after all. Aoki could only slowly use the tip of the knife to peel away the fat on the cube. Although the person is dead, blood is still seeping out. He tore off a bit of cloth from the woman's clothes and drained the blood while operating.

Su Huilan and Petru couldn't help but lowered their heads to take a look.

After cleaning up the fat and muscle tissue on the surface, it was discovered that the milky yellow square piece was actually transparent, with small bumpy dots and seven vertical and eight horizontal lines faintly visible inside.

"chip?!"

The dots and lines inside the transparent square are clearly circuit diagrams. Not to mention the professor-level Su Huilan, even Petru can see it.

Aoki nodded silently and continued to concentrate on removing the impurities attached to the chip. After the surface of the chip was clean and all the peripheral muscles and connective tissue were cut away, he inserted the tip of the knife into the bottom of the chip, cut a circle around the edge, and gently tilted it up. The chip tilted up, and you could see that there were Several rows of extremely thin membrane bands are connected and penetrate deep into the cervical vertebrae bones.

Su Huilan exclaimed: "Let's not talk about the functions of the chip. This exquisite neurosurgery alone is amazing! The 31 pairs of spinal nerves in the human body are pulled out from the spinal canal space and connected to the chip. They not only protect the nerves, but also The surrounding muscles and connective tissue must be naturally attached to form a natural protective layer. After that, the chip becomes an integral part of the body, which is simply a medical miracle!”

She suddenly turned to Aoki and asked, "How did you know?"

Aoki said: "Professor Mei has a chip there."

"I know that it played a key role in the development of the space box." Su Huilan looked puzzled, "Could it be..."

"Do you know where that chip came from?"

"I heard it was obtained from Guoan in Wuzhong."

"Guoan took it from my client's neck."

Aoki did not lie, Liu Huaian was indeed his client. When thinking of Crazy Liu, Aoki felt a little guilty. If he had spent more energy and learned more about Crazy Liu's real world of consciousness, the ending might not have been so tragic, although death might be the best destination for Crazy Liu.

"Have you ever heard of Laboratory 19?" he asked.

Su Huilan was stunned for a moment and said: "Are you talking about the Secret Laboratory No. 19 of the Lawrence Berkeley National Experimental Center? I have heard that it was famous in the early years, but there has been no news about this laboratory for a long time."

Qingmu originally thought that Su Huilan and Mei Yiqiu were in the same group. Otherwise, how could she have appeared in Professor Mei's laboratory when the space box had just been developed and was still an experimental product? Moreover, the two professors seemed to be sympathetic to each other and cooperated happily.

But he now realizes that this may have been a misunderstanding on his part. Su Huilan just said in the cave that she didn't trust Mei Yiqiu, and Professor Mei did not tell Su Huilan about Laboratory 19 and Xia Xiaoxiao.

What's going on? Aoki was not sure whether he should tell Su Huilan some things.

"Do you understand Internet consciousness?" he asked tentatively.

Su Huilan nodded and said: "It is a guess made by artificial intelligence, which is currently difficult to prove."

Aoki thought about it and was right. He could talk to ghosts on the local area network, but it was indeed difficult to find the "big brother" behind the ghosts - the Internet. Theoretically speaking, that huge guy will never sleep or dream. If he is conscious, it will be difficult for you to find his main body and you can only talk to countless clones of him.

But Aoki doesn't think it is a type of artificial intelligence. The "Cronos" invented by Bian Ziyuan is an artificial intelligence, while the "Ghost" is a life form with self-awareness. In Aoki's eyes, these two things are completely different. He can face the ghost's consciousness through certain methods, but Cronus will always be a program unless it also has autonomous consciousness one day.

Aoki briefly talked about Liu Huaian and Laboratory 19, and kept some things about Ghost and Xia Xiaoxiao. This was not only a matter of trusting Su Huilan, but more importantly, he had promised to treat these things. Things are kept confidential.

After he finished speaking, he made a few gestures with the knife, looking a little helpless:

"There are still many tissues involved. Without a scalpel, it cannot be cleaned. If it is removed by force, the nerve connections may be destroyed."

"Why do we need to keep the neural connection points?" Su Huilan said, "A chip is enough."

Aoki said: "Last time, the chip was completely cleaned by the National Security Bureau. Professor Mei's team has been studying for a long time but has not been able to restore the connection status between the chip and the nervous system."

Su Huilan said decisively: "Then cut it off in one piece."

"What?" Aoki was stunned for a moment.

"I'll do it." Seeing his hesitation, Su Huilan snatched the knife from his hand and made a circle the size of a bowl bottom on the back of the body's neck. After cutting out the whole piece of meat, she pressed her hand again and used the knife. It was inserted from the cervical spine and two vertebrae were gouged out.

Not to mention Aoki, even the murderous Petru felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach when he saw her using the clothes of the deceased to clean the bloody bones and flesh she had just dug up, and thought to himself that this woman is really cruel!

He swallowed twice and asked, "Are you going to make a specimen? I don't have formalin there."

Su Huilan said: "Formalin will corrode the chip, so it is best to soak it in alcohol."

Petlu said: "There is no alcohol, but there are a few bottles of Polish distilled vodka. I don't know if it is pure enough."

"Are you willing to give up such a good wine?" Su Huilan joked and studied the chip under the light, "The material of this chip does not look like silicon, it should be carbon."

"Carbon?" This is the first time Aoki heard that carbon can also be used to make chips.

"Graphene." Su Huilan said, "But Andre isolated graphene in Manchester in 2004, and it has been 10 years since he won the Nobel Prize. This technology is completely immature so far. There is still a long way to go before a chip can be used in computers and replace the traditional silicon core. What about making such a sophisticated human biochip? It has only been a few years since the explosion of graphene technology? Even if Laboratory No. 19 With advanced technical strength, the research and development time cannot be short, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the source of technology in this laboratory does not come from the earth at all!"
