[TN: Hey guys sorry for missing yesterday's chapter so here are two chapters to make it up, now I'm not gonna name any names but please don't put advances chapters in my comment please, while I don't mind you guys translating your own chapter and reading ahead please don't post them in my comment, that just rude and disrespectful as I'm doing this for free and unlike many translators I don't lock my content under a Patreon which is fine for them but not just for me i already delete it but please don't do it again thank you] California Governor Arnold Newsom was exceptionally lucky. It was said that his car was hit by an out-of-control van. Fortunately, it wasn't a dump truck; otherwise, even a miracle wouldn't have saved him. However, the current situation wasn't much better. "Five ribs fractured, including the third to seventh ribs, with emergency treatment already administered. The current issue is that the lungs have been punctured by the broken ribs." "The spleen has a minor contusion, with increasing blood loss, but this is a minor issue. Blood cloning is underway and will soon be resolved." "Spinal injury is quite severe, possibly leading to limited mobility and nerve pain." "The most troublesome issues are a concussion and intracranial hemorrhage." While rib fractures are serious, they are not typically fatal. The massive bleeding from organ damage can be directly managed with blood cloning technology, using the patient's own blood, thus avoiding any immune reaction. As for the wounds, suturing could utilize bio-stitching materials replicated from the cyberpunk world— Of course, this still required highly precise operations. So, when everyone saw Leo controlling the mechanical arm to perform nano-level surgery, they were astounded. "Incredible," Dr. Otto exclaimed, looking shocked. "You've perfected the octopus arms?" "Pretty much." More accurately, the mini octopus had optimized its own driver program, becoming increasingly intelligent. Compared to the cyberpunk world's mechanical arms, Dr. Otto's octopus arms were astonishingly flexible, though they lacked a powerful drive to match their intricate bionic structure. Dr. Otto's original idea was to use an artificial neural network AI to automatically optimize, but that proved too dangerous. According to the original script, the octopus arms would continuously operate, fit, and become increasingly sensitive and intelligent until they ignited Dr. Otto's latent ambition and brutality, ultimately merging with him. However, now, all these processes had been completed with Leo, without any behavioral decline. The modified octopus arm drew a suture needle from the window and waved it in front of Otto— Although it was a completely different entity, it knew its source code originated from Dr. Otto. Otto gazed at the octopus arm, his initial shock giving way to a contented smile. "Is it greeting me?" "Yes," Leo replied, giving the octopus arm a pat as it began autonomously switching its tools. "If you want to try, once the chip is ready, we can install one on you too." "Every scientist should have such an assistant—that was my original intention in creating it. I'll definitely try it if I get the chance." Otto nodded contentedly. Professor Connors, closely watching the monitor, remarked, "No, Governor Newsom still shows no signs of waking. The nerve damage might be more severe than we anticipated." The troublesome issue was still at hand. Unexplained brain injuries are always the hardest to treat; persistent comas could signal impending death. Leo made a swift decision: "Prepare for brain-computer interface implantation surgery." "What are you planning to do?" "Use the brain-computer interface to read neural data, monitor and regulate brainwave signals, and precisely adjust and repair abnormal areas." "But..." Connors hesitated. Considering the chip functions Leo had just introduced, it seemed possible to conduct meticulous monitoring. However, medicine requires extensive experimentation and data accumulation. Even if the chip and its supporting devices could monitor detailed brainwave data, how would Leo determine what was normal and abnormal? How much data and how many cases would be needed to develop a mature medical solution? Connors thought of what he had seen in Leo. That artificial spine. He nodded complexly: "Alright, prepare for brain-computer interface surgery." Dr. Otto, having overheard the entire conversation, interrupted the two: "Wait—why did we suddenly decide to proceed with brain-computer interface surgery? Even if the chip could facilitate this medical process, we don't have the chip yet!" This issue also crossed Connors' mind. However, he had no intention of asking and instead silently observed Leo—or more precisely, Leo's pocket. This time, though, he was looking in the wrong direction. The octopus arm was hiding behind Leo and discreetly pulled out a chip from a nearby hanging coat. [Cross-Dimensional Material Transfer: BioRhythm 8Z Sexual Doll Chip] [Tech Points -600] When the chip reached Leo's hand, Connors silently cursed, realizing he'd been tricked! "Actually, we do have it. I crafted it using the octopus arm and have already conducted some experiments," Leo explained. Dr. Otto was speechless, pointing at Leo and then glancing at Connors, who was silently shaking his head. "Alright, I'll go prepare the materials," Otto conceded. "I'll inform the family," Connors added, walking out of the room, shaking his head as though he had failed. In the Marvel universe, this would be a groundbreaking surgery. After brief contemplation, Leo decided to make the detailed process of this surgery public— He hoped this surgery would establish the brain-computer interface standard for the Marvel universe. The surgery began. Due to the lack of a complete set of technical standards, the equipment used was somewhat makeshift. First, sensors and electrodes were implanted, with the devices being modified versions of technology previously used by Dr. Otto. Leo had a clear method for the surgical procedure. After placing the devices in the appropriate brain regions, signals would transmit along the circuitry to the signal processing unit. The core of this signal processing unit was the Sexual Doll Chip, connected to numerous modulation and demodulation devices, eventually visualizing various signals on a display screen— This screen replaced the early cyberpunk prosthetic eye, enabling human-computer interaction with the developers in the room. Once the signal pathways were opened, the next step involved programming, processing the collected signals into comprehensible natural language, and converting the natural language back into corresponding brainwave signals to stimulate the central nervous system. Since this surgery was about establishing technical standards, Leo meticulously explained the process and design philosophy, while also deepening his understanding of brain-computer interface technology through feedback from these Marvel tech experts. The entire process was recorded by Peter, who would later collaborate with Professor Connors to compile the information into a manual, standardizing prosthetic surgeries. Subsequently, all utilized equipment would be unified and integrated, leading to a standardized brain-computer interface. In the cyberpunk world, Leo could complete this surgery in less than an hour, but here it took him eight hours, from afternoon to evening. The display screen now showed clear and understandable data, highlighting areas of nerve damage and distinguishing abnormal readings from normal ones. "...These anomalies typically indicate nerve damage, which can stem from various causes. Doctors need to assess the situation accordingly. In this case, we know the concussion resulted from an impact. In areas without physical damage, appropriate electrical stimulation can aid recovery. However, in areas with significant physical damage, we need to perform ventricular drainage surgery." With multiple life-monitoring methods and precise neural potential monitoring, theoretically, every bleeding point and abnormal location could be accurately identified. "...This is truly a revolutionary medical breakthrough," Connors noted, filling his notebook with observations. "It will play a crucial role in treating numerous neurological diseases." "Exactly," Leo nodded. Understanding a disease is the foundation for treating it. Such comprehensive monitoring will enhance the medical community's understanding of the pathogenesis of neurological diseases like Parkinson's, epilepsy, migraines, and chronic pain. It will further promote the development of technologies like deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation, enabling humanity to better combat these ailments. "Moreover," Otto mused, glancing at Connors' empty sleeve, "we can explore another method to assist people with limb loss. This approach poses far less risk than directly attaching prosthetic limbs." As the treatment progressed, Governor Newsom's head was already adorned with various tubes, and two rounds of electrotherapy had been completed. Beep. Beep. The buzzer sounded, and a new alert appeared on the display screen. Governor Newsom was about to wake up.
