When the commander was carried to the hospital bed, Xie Yuan stood aside, ready at any time.
The situation is as serious as what Dr. Teigen, the surgeon in charge, said at the moment: "Be careful! We may have to deal with atrophy that has been there for more than ten years!"
"I really wish we had more time." Shen Lili said melancholy while helping the commander install the life-support equipment tube.
"I agree!" Dr. Tegan stabilized the commander and wiped the fog from his mask to check his condition. "But if we don't start the separation operation immediately, we may lose this patient soon."
The only reason why Xie Yuan and the old Dr. Shen who are also staying here are not the surgeons is because the chip in the commander's brain can only be removed by Dr. Tegan. He is the expert in this field. Refined.
Looking at old Dr. Shen, whose hands were shaking uncontrollably but pretending to be calm, and Dr. Faleng, who also asked for a video connection to observe together, Xie Yuan was also very surprised. What ability did this guy have to be so popular?
But as soon as everything was ready, John rushed over and started the removal operation.
Xie Yuan watched as John affectionately recalled his past with the commander, and the latter underwent a drastic mental change - seemingly flashing back past memories.
But this is good news. Dr. Teigen also confirmed: "The cerebral cortex is responding, great! Get ready to invade the brain!"
After that, he gave the commander the new invasive scalpel that he had brought with him since the mutants came to power.
Xie Yuan could also feel the fear in the commander's senses when he couldn't move... It seemed that he was experiencing something similar subconsciously?
This is also Tegan's greatest authority here. There is only one branch of the mid-brain chip implantation surgery for mutants.
Even Xie Yuan's years of practical experience in battlefield surgery cannot make up for his lack of experience in brain surgery and neurosurgery.
And neither did Dr. Falen, so Dr. Tegan deserved to become the head of the R&D department of New Generation X.
Not to mention, his very calm and steady personality is enough to put Dr. Shen and John at ease.
"I've identified the connection," Tegan confirmed and reminded everyone after making the first cut of the surgical invasive device, "and ready for the final cut."
But Shen Lili, who has been monitoring the chart data, questioned: "The readings are now extremely confusing."
"Of course it will be messy!" Tegan glanced at Lily with a matter-of-fact expression and went to the tool table to change tools. At the same time, he explained, "These implants were never designed to be removed. We are taking risks. .”
Shen Lili wanted to argue, but John, who quickly noticed the differences, immediately interrupted in advance: "There is no way out! Everyone, let's do it!"
Shen Lili glanced at Lao Shen calmly, and after receiving a slight nod from the latter, she joined the operation.
Xie Yuan also had to admire the courage and determination of old Dr. Shen, but at this moment he was using a multi-purpose tool to scan the "Commander" on the hospital bed - the confidentiality of the scanner really helped a lot.
At the same time, Xie Yuan was still distractedly sensing his fluctuations. There was one thing that Xie Yuan was very concerned about now, which made him faintly unbelievable.
Because for some reason, Xie Yuan felt that the commander lying on the bed seemed to have a stronger mental ability than him!
Could it be that the "commander" lying on the bed at this moment turned out to be an enlightened person, a virtuous monk, or a powerful reincarnation? !
Otherwise, how could he possess spiritual abilities that exceeded what he had after many years of practice?
But... is this possible?
Because he couldn't see through this "commander" with amazing mental power, Xie Yuan could no longer explore any non-technological telepathy.
What people with strong mental abilities hate the most is being scanned by others using their mental abilities. This is equivalent to physically stripping people of their clothes and looking at their private parts - unless it is an extremely private relationship, and they don't care about such things.
Xie Yuan felt that the strength of the opponent's mental ability was 6:4 compared to his own - any intrusive temptation against him would only be self-defeating.
But fortunately, if Xie Yuan still sticks to himself as he did in the past, the commander will not be able to do any harm to him.
Although his mental power is relatively strong, he really can't completely suppress himself and suppress it with absolute force.
But it can be seen from the results on the scanner... This is a normal warrior who has suffered from atrophy for more than ten years. Only the brain area is very active, hundreds of times more active than ordinary people - no wonder he can coordinate the entire mutant soul. Can network and become a nerve center station.
While Xie Yuan was completing a series of contact tests and understanding of the commander, Tegan had already completed the operation and used a probe to suck out a huge chip - good guy, luckily there was no pain in this head, otherwise it would have been placed and taken out. It all hurts to death!
"...The pupil reaction is normal." Tegan shined a flashlight into the commander's eyes and reported. At the same time, he glanced at the display screen, "Vital signs are normal."
Then he watched John and the commander make the final confirmation: "The operation is completed."
Soon Tegan left, leaving space for John. Dr. Shen hurried up, and the camera in his hand - it was Dr. Faleng on the other end, handed over to Lao Shen by Xie Yuan.
After all, this is a great unity of the older generation of X people, and this is also their alone time.
Xie Yuan, Shen Lili, and Dr. Tegan and others retreated first. After all, they would take care of the commander who had just escaped from danger.
"I'm wondering if the commander will allow me to continue to be the director of the engineering department..."
Teigen had already returned to the laboratory to study the chip, so Lily Shen and Xie Yuan were left together. This was when Shen Lily was worrying about gains and losses.
"I think you're fine as a supervisor!" Xie Yuan encouraged, "At least you have some stumbling blocks, and your skills are 60% worse than your dad's, and you often go out privately, just for the sake of a damaged card. The pilot's seat..."
"Shhh!!" Shen Lili immediately made a silencing gesture to Xie Yuan, "That is John's favorite seat! If he knows that I ruined it, he will scold me to death."
After saying that, the eager face turned into frustration: "So even you think it's time for me to abdicate and give way to someone better? I think..."
"But you also have to consider that your dad is 74 years old this year, and he has long been unable to bear the high-intensity work."
Xie Yuan immediately interrupted Xiao Shen's worries, and then comforted him: "It is true that you are far inferior to your father in wheel skills. Your father can create the blueprint for the MEC series of robots that are now used by mutants. SPARK, you can only create at most one elf.
But at this stage, those who are better than you are also working for mutants, and you can be ranked first in the team in terms of ability.
In terms of years of experience, you have spent ten years on the Avenger working on spacecraft maintenance with your father. No one your age is as familiar as you, and the senior ones are lower than you. "
Arriving at the entrance of the work department, Xie Yuan finally concluded: "Coupled with Dr. Shen's initial recognition of you, you are indeed the most suitable candidate to be the director of the engineering department at this stage."
"Pfft... Hahaha, I hate it, you!" Lili Shen, who was so angry that she was so angry, finally made herself laugh. She hit Xie Yuan angrily, but the expression on her face finally improved.
It seems that he has discovered that he will not be resigned in the short term - what a loving father and filial daughter.
The old Shen family all have some gratitude to Xie Yuan. In fact, many people are also grateful to him - if Xie Yuan hadn't dug out the Gray Man hibernating in the spaceship, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Although some people also treated it as a trivial matter, this did not include old Dr. Shen, and his attitude was also inherited by Xiao Shen.
After bidding farewell to Lily Shen, who is back at work and is trying to establish a good impression in front of her new boss, Xie Yuan also dialed the teammate platform.
"The rescue operation was successful and the commander was rescued." Xie Yuan communicated to Ada.
Ada's voice was full of pity: "I thought you could give him an accident and replace him."
"If I'm going to do this, I guess you'll have to be wary of me first," Xie Yuan said angrily in the channel, "And that's not how a hero's tactics are used. Being more generous and being consistent with the outside world is the right way."
"Should I call you stupid? Or should I call you stupid? You have to know that most of X is now benefited from you, so it is not difficult to replace him."
But what was different from the previous temptation was that now she was just feeling regretful.
