Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 473 Immortal Fate
The human brain is extremely complex and precise, and even Li Ang had to explore it step by step.
Fortunately, the mycelium of the plant was attached to the swamp divine power, which had its own healing function.
Combined with the special effects of the biological mother version, it could automatically anesthetize, stop bleeding, and lower body temperature, and would not cause particularly violent rejection reactions in the human body. It could be called an all-purpose surgical tool.
"The mycelium surgical tool has penetrated the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle. The iCp intracranial pressure is slightly higher than 40mmhg. Rapid intravenous infusion of hypertonic drugs to reduce intracranial pressure..."
Li Ang controlled the mycelium to move forward slowly, carefully releasing divine power, like an MRI magnetic resonance imaging, carefully observing the brain structures such as the uncus, parahippocampal gyrus, diencephalon, brainstem, and cerebellar tonsils.
"Strange..."
Li Ang frowned, "The brain structure is normal, and no significant lesions have been found."
"Uh,"
Miss Chai poked her head out and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Li Ang shook his head, his fingers still holding onto Ma Bangde's face, "This Magistrate Ma's mind is very normal. If he is not deliberately lying, or has been hit by an illusion,
Then the dream he is talking about is very likely to be caused by extraordinary factors."
"You mean that old Daoist?"
Miss Chai glanced at Ma Bangde, who looked unremarkable and even a bit wretched, and hesitated, "The old Daoist in his dream doesn't really want to transform him into an immortal, does he?
Just like the legends of Lü Dongbin and Zhongli Quan transforming Han Xiangzi."
"Who knows."
Li Ang rubbed his chin with his other hand, "In ancient Eastern mythology and legends, there are still many stories of mortals encountering immortals.
Especially those mortals with the background of great power reincarnation or immortal rebirth to start a business, are very likely to encounter unrestrained and crazy immortals.
Not to mention the Bodhisattvas in the Zen Buddhism, who say 'this person is destined for the West' from time to time.
Although this Magistrate Ma Bangde looks a bit vulgar, and marries wives and concubines quite diligently, it is not impossible for him to be favored by gods and Buddhas."
Miss Chai's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Then you are still preparing to treat him? Aren't you afraid of destroying his immortal destiny, angering the immortals in the sky,
And having the immortals come down to hunt you down."
"I'm just saying it's possible, not necessarily."
Li Ang said casually, "According to my guess, this ancient Eastern world where demons are rampant is indeed large and complex enough, not inferior to ordinary script worlds,
But its power ceiling should not have the level of 'immortals'."
"Eh?"
Miss Chai was stunned when she heard this, "Why?"
"Because the Sheng Nan Wang isn't high enough."
Li Ang said naturally, "Among all the extraordinary beings I have seen, the mysteriousness of Hanba, Shenlong, and the Prison of Demons is undoubtedly the highest.
The feeling that the Sheng Nan Wang gives me is much worse than these three, only a few levels higher than the current incomplete biological mother version.
Of course, it is impossible to give birth to 'immortals' exceeding the level of Hanba and Shenlong."
"Oh, oh."
Chai Chai nodded cutely, and also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
After Li Ang finished checking Ma Bangde's brain, the next step was to start the modification.
"Physiologically, Ma Bangde's brain is completely healthy, and no lesions have occurred, so there is nothing to treat.
Considering the particularity of his dream, there are roughly three solutions.
One is to prevent him from dreaming physiologically,
The second is to interrupt him when he has a clear and reliable dream.
The third is to prevent him from having clear and reliable dreams again."
Miss Chai was stunned for a moment, "Is there any difference between these three?"
"Of course there is."
Li Ang said casually, "Dreaming, in physiological terms, is actually the process by which animals, including humans, automatically convert temporary memories into long-term memories during sleep.
And human sleep is mainly divided into two types, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep. The former processes and combines the two to create clear dreams.
In some medical cases, patients with damage to the brainstem, parietal lobe, or other parts of the brain will not dream.
To put it simply, as long as you directly destroy a part of his brain, you can prevent him from having dreams."
"Ah?"
Miss Chai was stunned when she heard this, "Wouldn't it directly kill or make him stupid?"
"There is a small chance that it may lower his IQ slightly, but with the biological mother version, it can definitely save his life."
Li Ang explained, "In fact, the human brain is quite strong. I saw a case in The Lancet before.
A patient's ventricles were filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and the normal brain tissue was excessively squeezed by the cerebrospinal fluid, as thin as a piece of paper.
Most of the brain tissue was lost and damaged.
However, even so, this patient's IQ was still similar to that of Forrest Gump in the movie. He normally worked and lived as an official civil servant in France, got married and had children in his daily life.
In addition, medicine also uses a cerebral hemispherectomy, cutting off half of the brain and the corpus callosum at one time, and filling the cranial cavity with cerebrospinal fluid, as a last resort to treat diseases such as epilepsy—
Some patients can still have an IQ of 90 or even higher after being cut in half of their brain, which is within the normal range."
Miss Chai swallowed subconsciously when she heard his words.
Li Ang in the state of a biological transformation madman was a bit too terrifying.
When talking about cutting people's brains, he didn't even blink his eyelids,
And he looked like "you have to believe me, I'm a professional".
"Of course, I wouldn't often do things like cutting patients' brains casually. Especially before communicating with conscious patients."
Li Ang changed the subject and said, "This kind of behavior is unethical. Da Huang would definitely scold me if he knew about it."
You know that too! By the way, what exactly is Da Huang!
Miss Chai resisted the urge to complain and continued to ask, "Then what about the second method of interrupting him when he is dreaming?"
"This is much simpler."
Li Ang said with a smile, "I can install a gland in the back of his neck. When it detects that he has entered NREM sleep, the gland will secrete a small amount of substance, causing a slight tingling sensation that will not completely wake him up,
Waking him up from NREM sleep, turning into REM sleep,
That is, interrupting him from the source when he is just starting to have clear and reliable dreams.
If I have to describe it, it's almost similar to the effect of 'being woken up by the urge to pee whenever you dream'."
"That's too painful and cruel..."
Miss Chai complained with a face she couldn't bear to look at, "Wouldn't that mean you can never sleep comfortably?"
Chai Chai knows very well how painful it is to not sleep comfortably.
When she first became a Chimei, she was always in a state similar to being exhausted after staying up too late, and her brain was extremely clear.
Her mind was almost crazy.
It was only after being a Chimei for a long time that she slowly got used to this painful feeling and relied on modern entertainment to numb herself, so she could barely forget the pain of not sleeping comfortably.
"It's a bit uncomfortable not being able to sleep comfortably."
Li Ang nodded with great approval. People who understand the pain of staying up late understand.
"In fact, there is another medical method, which is to let him dream, but he can't remember it at all after waking up.
However, this method has no theoretical basis and is difficult to implement.
The most reliable and realistic is the third method, to prevent him from having clear and reliable dreams again."
Miss Chai frowned and said, "This is very similar to the first method."
"Not the same."
Li Ang shook his head and said, "The first method is to simply and rudely destroy brain tissue, while the third method is much more high-end and complex."
As he said this, he controlled the mycelium to continue to deepen, and began to carry out in-depth transformation of Ma Bangde's brain.
