Biochips have been successfully developed and miniaturized to the point where they can be used. The problem is that this technology cannot be directly applied to humans and must undergo experiments on other organisms.
Mice are the most traditional experimental subjects and have natural advantages.
From an evolutionary perspective, it is a mammal with a very high evolutionary level. Many experiments applied to humans can be applied to mice first.
From the perspective of reproductive ability, it is particularly fertile and easy to obtain.
When the anesthesia was over and the team performed the first incision, everyone was very nervous. The biochip was already very small, but the nerves and blood vessels of the mouse were also very small.
The experimenter worked carefully, first making a small opening in the blood vessel of the brain, and then inserted the biochip diagonally.
The biochip at this time is in the form of a compact mass. After contacting the blood, it will automatically expand and open the blood vessels, just like the principle of a heart stent. The difference is that the biochip carries some coagulation factors, which can speed up wound recovery.
The opening of the blood vessel is then carefully sewn shut using precision instruments.
It was not difficult at all and was much simpler than removing necrotic nerves. However, the surgeon was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. After all, this was the first time this type of experiment had been conducted. It was both an honor and a pressure.
After the operation, the mice were soaked in "amniotic fluid" to recover. This technology is becoming more and more common. It is the fastest way to recover. After all, it is comparable to the development of a fertilized egg into a complete newborn.
In less than two days, the mice ended the treatment and officially entered the experimental phase.
The computer was turned on in advance, the specific number of the biochip was entered, and the biochip was activated.
Unconsciously, all the brain activities of the mice were captured by the device and presented in a concrete form.
The visual representation function that everyone is most concerned about has also been verified. Whatever the mice see will be reflected in the brain and the display will be synchronized.
The mouse is like an active camera, looking here and there without any delay.
"Let's conduct an experiment on the command signal and simulate a flood scene for it!"
Then, the picture of the raging flood was guided into the brain of the mouse. The mouse saw the roaring flood "before its eyes". It was so frightened that it immediately ran towards higher places, screaming crazily as it ran.
The mice who were also in the experimental site were so frightened that they ran to high places together, and then the situation became awkward.
The other mice didn't see the flood. They quickly looked at each other, extremely humane. They looked at the shivering experimental subject and chirped, as if to say: "Brother, are you okay?"
The experimental subject was still trembling. There was no other way. The brain gave it instructions, and then it turned into a specific picture. Its visual system really "saw" the flood.
"Release!"
The simulated scene signal was interrupted, and the experimental subject returned to normal immediately. It was a little unconvinced, and took a few tentative steps forward, and then descended to the high ground with confidence.
The success of this experiment gave the team members great confidence.
"Next set of instructions, issue!"
Then a memory suddenly appeared in the subject's mind. He clearly remembered that there was delicious food in the north corner of the big cage, so he went there to eat it without even thinking about it.
But it suddenly realized that it was the leader here and could not monopolize it, so it went to tell many companions about it.
It is impossible for the mice in the laboratory to form a real social group, unless they are specifically doing social research, these mice will soon be used as experimental subjects, and they will not stay for too long at all.
But for this experiment, this group of white mice was left to stay for a long time, forming a relatively fixed group, and then produced a leader, who unfortunately was not an experimental subject.
However, even though he remembered that he was not the leader and seemed a little afraid of the strong male white mouse, he still went to gather everyone. There is no way, subconsciously it is the leader, but it can't figure out why it feels guilty.
Under the powerful influence of the command, it told the mice that there was food. The leader had no complaints about this. Who would have trouble with the food?
As a result, after taking everyone there, the mice were dumbfounded by the empty corner.
"Squeak!" The leader expressed his dissatisfaction, issued a warning, and then left, and the other mice followed suit.
The IQ of adult mice is very high, basically equivalent to that of four-year-old or even six-year-old humans. They have emotions and memories.
The experimental subject was very puzzled and couldn't figure out why this happened.
After it rested for a few hours, the order came again, so it gathered everyone together to find food, but naturally returned without success.
After experiencing this three or four times, the alpha male couldn't bear it anymore and beat the experimental subject violently.
This guy just thinks of himself as the leader and plays tricks on everyone every time.
Forget it! It's really too much to just find one place to take the horse and treat everyone as mentally retarded!
At the end of the day's experiment, the handsome man who fed the subjects in the laboratory added a few more pieces of meat to the subjects and said, "You were beaten for the sake of humans, and I won't treat you badly."
On the second day, the experiment escalated, and this time I had to face deeper instinctive fears.
The cardboard box that was originally in the experimental site was defined by the order as a cat.
After giving the instruction, the mouse's legs immediately became weak and wanted to run away.
Then a set of instructions were given, telling it that cats are not scary at all. Just like that, the white mouse bravely fought back while trembling.
The underlying gene is fearful, but the brain makes it less fearful.
Facing the huge cat, it didn't even back down, but pounced on it and bit it. It didn't understand why its body was shaking so hard and its breathing almost stopped, but it still dared to fight.
In this way, the experiment lasted ten minutes before being canceled.
When the brain told it that the cat was a natural enemy, it was frightened and ran away immediately, obeying its instinct.
Such obvious changes give everyone more prospects.
The laboratory can train mice with specific skills to go to dangerous areas that humans cannot go.
For example, in some places, some people train African giant rats to search for landmines, and the results are very good. Changtian's instructions are obviously more direct and do not need to spend a lot of time on training.
The problem with traditional training is that animals and humans do not understand each other's languages. It takes a lot of time to give repetitive language instructions and make them perform a lot of repetitive actions. There is also a lot of "bribery behavior" in the middle, that is, giving food. Positive stimulation will do. Moreover, the quality of the trained animals themselves is also uneven, some are smart and some are stupid. If it takes a long time to find out that this animal is also mentally retarded in its own race, how tired will the trainers be?
Now, the biochip uses a command mode, which can be directly understood by animals without the need for intermediate communication. After the biochip is implanted in the brain, it will capture specific signals, analyze the brain, and then synchronize the relevant information so that humans can directly command.
This experimental subject was quickly sent to a retirement home because it was crazy. It had conducted too many anti-instinct experiments these days, and its mind began to go crazy. And this has become a better experimental subject for another kind of experiment.
Six mice became experimental subjects one after another, and achieved similar results.
The next step is to conduct higher-level biological experiments.
Some people may think it is unnecessary. Even such low-level creatures can succeed. Isn’t it easier for higher-level creatures to understand instructions? It's really not the case. With a higher level, it is indeed better to understand the instructions directly issued by humans, but these are instructions transplanted into the brain and given from within.
The brain is complex, and it is an unknown problem whether biochips can handle such complex brain operations.
The next step was to get some rhesus monkeys for experiments, but this thing has a price but no market, and sales are monopolized by a few specific breeding plants. They exchange supplies and genes with each other, and rhesus monkeys from other places They are all offspring. If you buy them casually, you will buy the offspring of inbreeding. It is difficult to guarantee the experimental results.
At this time, the laboratory encountered an unexpected thing.
"Hurry up! Hurry up to save people, no, save dogs!" On this day, Xiao Yang, who feeds animals, ran into the laboratory holding the little milk dog that was always covered in blood.
"I picked this up outside. It was in a car accident." Xiao Yang was talking and preparing for treatment. The other colleagues didn't say much and also started to prepare. After all, it was a dog picked up by a colleague, so what if it was rescued? Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to improve one's own treatment level. Ordinary low-level researchers do not have such an opportunity.
The little puppy's condition was not optimistic. His lower body was basically useless, and his bones and internal organs were all shattered. They immediately went to a cell-based all-purpose treatment room. After several hours of rescue, they finally managed to resume breathing.
"It's been rescued. How about we use it as an experimental subject for a biochip?" A colleague was worried about having no experimental subjects, and the puppy that was delivered to his door was just right.
"No! You're going too far!" Xiao Yang immediately objected. He didn't save it just to make it an experimental subject.
The colleague thought for a while and persuaded him from another angle: "Let me ask you, it has lost its mother, who taught it survival skills? Who taught it traffic rules? Don't say that this is not what a dog should know. If it had participated earlier, This project might just avoid the car!”
Xiao Yang was stunned by the question. It seemed to make sense, but he immediately thought of what was wrong: "We drove the white mice crazy, and I don't want the puppies to go this way."
"This time we will not conduct that kind of counter-instinct experiment, because dogs are important members of human life, and we will give them social training. What do you think? If possible, I will report it. If It is trained as a guide dog, which also benefits the public. If you think it is dangerous for EOD, we will not propose it..."
"Ignore EOD. Not every dog has this sense of smell!"
"OK!"
Qu Ping quickly received the experimental suggestion, and she was immediately interested.
Explosive disposal, search and rescue, anti-narcotics and other professions all require dogs to have a high sense of smell, while guide dogs require absolute obedience and high IQ. If guide dogs can be directly trained in this way, then there will be enough for blind people. The guide dog can be used!
The country of Xia is very large, and there are many people with eye disabilities (the critical care center can’t finish all the surgeries). However, the training of guide dogs is very difficult, takes a long time, and is costly. It is said that less than a hundred of them enter the market a year. It's really unfortunate for blind people.
Before the Cell Almighty can replace problematic "parts" for these disabled people, guide dogs are needed, at least as another decisive way.
Just imagine that biochips can be transplanted into 10,000 dogs a year. Then there will be enough guide dogs, guard dogs, and even specific working dogs. Just think about it and you will feel that it is a big deal!
"Passed!" Qu Ping immediately approved.
The little puppy lay down for seven or eight days before getting off the ground. The bones in its lower body have returned to normal. It runs around the laboratory and sniffs people when it sees it. It is very cute. Xiao Yang looked at it and felt somewhat guilty.
In this way, the little puppy was transplanted with a biochip, and then the command experiment began.
Although it may be small, it grows very fast. It looks the same almost every day, and it is quite big after two weeks. It has received many instructions, but it can remember every one of them and has become a part of its instinct.
When you want to urinate, you go to the bathroom and squat down. Even though it is a male, it has changed its habit of raising its feet to urinate. Then the toilet will be pressed down to flush.
It also dragged packages of feed to Xiao Yang. When you are thirsty, go to your specific water dispenser and press the button. When I was hungry, I would hold my rice bowl in my mouth and queue up with everyone else. I never jumped in line.
When cleaning, they will also hold brooms, mops, and rags in their mouths. The funniest thing is that every time Xiao Yang goes to the toilet, he runs over with a box of toilet paper in his mouth, even if Xiao Yang says he wants to go to the small toilet. He even knows to leave a bone for Xiao Yang every time he eats, maybe this is his way of expressing his gratitude.
Everyone almost died laughing, saying that Xiao Yang’s adopted son was really filial.
It’s a laugh, but the experiment was carried out to the letter. As a dog less than two months old, the puppy has already learned many skills of guiding the blind.
For example, when crossing the road, it squats down to hold the owner, and when turning, it uses its body to block the corner and push the blind person away. It's like a three-year-old child demonstrating calculus problem-solving ideas.
Then there is the arithmetic part of the puppy that everyone loves to see. It easily remembers the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, and can combine the numbers into the correct answer through visual recognition. Compared with those who have been trained for several years and can only count ten Dogs who can add and subtract within are much better. Those dogs were trained and didn't understand it at all, but Xiao Yang's little puppy really understood the principle.
"The experiment was very successful. The biochip can even be used as a backup brain to guide the behavior of living things. In other words, even a mentally retarded person can still make many correct actions.
However, if you are born with a low IQ, it is equivalent to the biochip making the decision. It is not recommended that this model be extended to humans. "
