Chapter 1041 The Animal Experiment Was a Great Success
The biochip has been successfully developed and successfully miniaturized to the extent that it can be applied. The problem is that this technology cannot be directly applied to human beings, and has to go through experiments with other organisms.
Rats are the most traditional experimental subjects and have natural advantages.
From an evolutionary point of view, it is a mammal with a high level of evolution. 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 made the first cut, everyone was very nervous. The biochip was already small, but the nerves and blood vessels of the mice were also very small.
The experimenters carefully operated, first opened a small opening in the blood vessels of the brain, and then inserted the biochip obliquely.
At this time, the biochip is in a compact form. After touching 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 blood clotting factors, which can speed up the recovery of wounds.
Then the opening of the blood vessel is carefully sutured with precision instruments.
It was not difficult at all, and it was much easier than removing necrotic nerves, but the doctor who performed the surgery was sweating profusely from nervousness. After all, this was the first time this type of experiment was conducted, which was both glory and pressure.
After the operation, mice were soaked in "amniotic fluid" to recover. This technique is becoming more and more common. This 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 finished the treatment and officially entered the experimental stage.
The computer was turned on in advance, the specific number of the biochip was entered, and then the biochip was activated.
Unknowingly, all the brain activities of the mice were captured by the device and presented in a specific form.
The visual visualization function that everyone is most concerned about has also been verified. No matter what the mouse sees, it will be reflected in the brain, and the display will be synchronized.
The mouse is like an active camera, looking around without any delay.
"Let's experiment with the command signal and simulate a flood scene for it!"
Then, the image of the flood was guided into the brain of the little white mouse. The "eyes" of the little white mouse saw the roaring flood, and it was so frightened that it immediately ran towards a high place, screaming crazily while running.
The mice that were also in the experimental site were all frightened and ran to a high place together, and then the scene became embarrassing.
The other mice didn't see the flood, they quickly looked at each other, extremely humane, they looked at the trembling experimental subject, chirping, as if to say: "Dude, are you alright?"
The experimental subject was still trembling, there was no way, the brain gave it instructions, and then it turned into a specific picture, its visual system really "seeed" the flood.
"Release!"
The signal of the simulated scene was interrupted, and the subject returned to normal immediately. It didn't quite believe it. It took a few steps forward tentatively, and then went down to the high ground with confidence.
The success of this experiment gave the team members great confidence.
"The next set of instructions, issue!"
Then a memory suddenly appeared in the subject's mind. It clearly remembered that there was delicious food in the north corner of the big cage, so it went to eat it without even thinking about it.
But it suddenly realized that it was the leader here and could not be alone, 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 specialized in social research, these mice will soon be used as experimental subjects, and they will not stay for too long.
But for this experiment, this group of mice was allowed to stay for a long time, forming a relatively fixed group, and then a leader was produced. Unfortunately, it was not an experimental subject.
However, even though it remembered that it didn't seem to be the leader, and that it seemed a little afraid of the strong male mouse, it still bite the bullet and gathered everyone. No way, it is the leader subconsciously, but it can't figure out why it feels guilty.
Under the powerful action of the command, it told the mice that there was food, and the leader didn't complain about it, who would be troubled by the food.
As a result, after taking everyone there, the empty corner made the mice dumbfounded.
"Squeak!" The leader expressed dissatisfaction, issued a warning, and then left, and the other mice followed.
Adult mice have high IQs, basically equivalent to four or even six-year-old humans. They have emotions and memories.
The experimental subject was very puzzled, and it couldn't figure out why this happened.
After resting for a few hours, the order came again, so it gathered everyone together to find food, and naturally returned without success.
After going through this three or four times, the male leader couldn't bear it anymore and beat up the experimental subject violently.
It's okay for this guy to treat himself as the leader, and he still plays everyone every time.
It's okay to play! It's too much to just find a place to take them and treat everyone as mentally retarded!
At the end of the experiment that day, the handsome guy fed in the laboratory added a few more pieces of meat to the experimental subject, and muttered: "You were beaten for the sake of human beings, and I will not treat you badly."
On the second day, the experiment was escalated, this time to face a deeper instinctive fear.
The cardboard box that was originally in the experimental site was defined as a cat by the order.
Give an order, and the little white mouse will immediately run away.
Then a set of instructions was issued, telling it that cats are not scary at all, and just like that, the little white mouse bravely fought back while trembling.
The underlying genes are scared, but the brain keeps it from being scared.
Facing the gigantic cat, it didn't back down at all, and rushed forward to bite it. It didn't understand why its body was shaking so badly, and its breathing was almost stagnant, but it still dared to fight.
In this way, the experiment was canceled for ten minutes.
When the brain told it that the cat was a natural enemy, it ran away in fright and obeyed its instinct.
Such obvious changes have given everyone more prospects.
The laboratory can completely train mice with specific skills to go to dangerous areas that humans cannot go to.
For example, in some places, some people have trained African giant rats to search for landmines, and the effect is very good. Changtian's instructions are obviously more direct, and there is no need to spend a lot of time on training.
The problem with traditional training is that animals and humans don’t speak the same language, and it takes a lot of time to give repetitive language instructions, making them perform a lot of repetitive actions, and there are a lot of “bribery behaviors” in the middle, that is, giving food Positive stimulation will do. Moreover, the quality of the trained animals 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 are the trainers?
Now, biochips use the command mode, which can be directly understood by animals without intermediate communication. After the biochip is rooted in the brain, it will capture specific signals, analyze the brain, and then synchronize relevant information so that humans can directly order.
This experimental subject was quickly sent to the elderly, because it was crazy, too many counter-instinct experiments were carried out these days, and its insanity began to go berserk. And that makes a good subject for another experiment.
Six small white mice became the experimental subjects one after another, and all achieved similar results.
The next step is to conduct higher-level biological experiments.
Some people think it's unnecessary. Such a lowly creature can succeed. Wouldn't it be easier for a higher creature to understand instructions? Really not, the higher the level, it is indeed better to understand the instructions directly issued by humans, but these are instructions transplanted into the brain and issued from within.
The brain is complex, and whether biochips can handle such complex brain operations is an unknown problem.
The next step was to get some rhesus monkeys for experiments, but the price of this thing is not available, and the sales are monopolized by a few specific breeding factories. They communicate with each other and exchange genes. They are all offspring. If you buy them casually, you will buy offspring of inbreeding. It is difficult to guarantee the experimental results.
At this time, the laboratory encountered an unexpected thing.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and save people, no, save the dog!" On this day, Xiao Yang, who was feeding the animals, ran into the laboratory holding the little milk dog that had been covered in blood.
"I picked it up outside. It was in a car accident." Xiao Yang was preparing for treatment while talking. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to improve one's treatment level, and ordinary low-level researchers still can't get such an opportunity.
The situation of the little milk dog is not optimistic. The lower body is basically useless. The bones and internal organs are all smashed. They immediately went to the cell totipotent treatment room. After several hours of rescue, they finally continued to breathe.
"It's been rescued, how about we treat it as a test subject for a biochip?" A colleague was worried that he didn't have a test subject, so the puppy delivered to his door was just right.
"No! You're going too far!" Xiao Yang objected immediately, he didn't save it to make it a test subject.
The colleague thought about it, and persuaded him from another angle: "Let me ask you, it has no mother, who taught it survival skills? Who taught it traffic rules? Don't say this is not what a dog should know. If it gets involved earlier This project might avoid the car!"
Xiao Yang was stunned by the question, which seemed to make sense, but he immediately thought of something wrong: "We drove the little white mice crazy, I don't want the puppy to go this way."
"This time we will not conduct that kind of anti-instinct experiment, because dogs are important members of human life, we will give them social training, what do you think? If possible, I will make a report. It is trained as a guide dog, which is also for the benefit of the public. If you think it is dangerous in terms of EOD, we will not propose it..."
"Don't consider EOD, not every dog has this sense of smell!"
"OK!"
Qu Ping soon received the experiment suggestion, and she immediately became interested.
EOD, search and rescue, anti-drug and other professions all require dogs with a high sense of smell, while guide dogs need absolute obedience and high IQ. If guide dogs can be directly trained in this way, then blind people will have enough My guide dog works!
Xiaguo is very large, and there are many people with visual disabilities (the intensive care center can’t finish the operation), but the training of guide dogs is very difficult, it takes a long time, and the cost is high. It is said that less than 100 dogs enter the market a year. It is really unfortunate for the blind.
Before the cellular totipotent replaces the problematic "parts" for these disabled people, guide dogs are needed, at least it is another decisive way.
Just imagine that biochips can be transplanted to 10,000 dogs a year, then there will be enough guide dogs, guard dogs, and even specific working dogs.
"Pass!" Qu Ping immediately approved.
The little milk dog lay on the ground for seven or eight days, and the bones of the lower body had returned to normal. He ran around the laboratory and sniffed people when he saw him. He was very cute. Looking at it, Xiao Yang felt somewhat guilty.
In this way, the little milk dog was transplanted with a biochip, and then began the command experiment.
Even though it is small, it grows very fast. It looks the same every day. After two weeks, it grows quite big. It receives a lot of instructions, but it can remember every one of them, and it becomes a part of its instinct.
If you want to defecate, you go to the toilet in the bathroom and squat down. Even if it belongs to a male, it has changed its habit of lifting its feet to pee. And then press down on the toilet to flush.
It was also the bag of feed that he dragged over to Xiao Yang. When you get thirsty, go to your own specific water dispenser and press the button. When I was hungry, I took the rice bowl in my mouth and queued up with everyone, without ever cutting the queue.
When doing hygiene, they will bring brooms, mops, and rags. 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 has 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 was dying of laughter, saying that Xiao Yang's son was really filial.
Laughing, but the experiment was carried out without compromise. As a dog less than two months old, the puppy has already learned a lot of blind-guiding skills.
For example, when crossing the road, squat down to hold the owner, and when turning, use the body to block the corner and push away the blind person. This is like a three-year-old child performing calculus problem-solving ideas.
Then there is the puppy counting session that everyone loves to see. It can easily memorize the addition and subtraction of two digits, and can combine the numbers into the correct answer through visual recognition. Compared with those who have been trained for several years, they can only calculate ten. Dogs who add and subtract within are much better. Those dogs are all trained and don't understand at all, but Xiao Yang's little milk dog really understands the principle.
"The experiment was very successful. The biochip can even be used as a backup brain to guide the behavior of the creature. That is to say, even a mentally retarded person can make many correct actions.
However, if you are born with a low IQ, it is tantamount to the biochip calling the shots, and it is not recommended to extend this model to humans. "
