Chapter 70 Monster Surgery
"The last time I held a scalpel was when I was young, doing dissections in a lab in Free Citizen City."
In the cleared warehouse, the bearded Rogge touched his medical gown with the gentleness typical of an old man and a look of nostalgia.
He took another look at the toolbox beside him, took out a willow-leaf scalpel that was shining with a cold light, and looked at it in front of his eyes.
“That was several years ago.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as the skills are still there."
Jiang Xia comforted him and said:
"There's not much difference between opening a person's head with a gun and opening it with a scalpel. Besides, you're a biologist and a seasoned soldier.
If you round it up, you'll be a trained doctor, how great is that."
"I feel like there's something else behind your words, as if you're mocking me."
Roger glanced at him, shrugged, and said:
“But it is true.”
He looked back and saw a multi-axis machine tool used for precision machinery manufacturing and assembly, with three nano-level precision robotic arms, being pushed into the warehouse by several wasteland warriors.
This is the "bed" that will be used for the upcoming surgery.
Su, who had replaced his temporary prosthesis, was squatting on a machine tool with a smart computer at hand, installing synchronized cutting devices on three robotic arms.
Farther away, Lao Si and Niu Hanhan were squatting near the unconscious wolf demon, like old farmers eating melons, watching Julie, who was dressed coolly, removing the broken saw blade from the unconscious wolf demon's head.
This monster's head is too hard.
This is also the reason why surgery is performed using machine tools.
The polymer alloy saws found in the warehouse of the Eternal Life Society could only barely cut through its tough scalp, and sparks flew when they touched the skull.
"With that kind of bone hardness, I think even a plasma laser cutter would be suspended."
Roger was a little nervous at this moment, and he was feeling for cigarettes all over his body.
Finally, Jiang Xia played one for him. The employee benefits of the Eternal Life Society seemed to be quite good. The soldiers had just found this kind of enjoyment in the warehouse of the base.
There are quite a few of them.
“If you want to create a brain hole that can remove the blood clot, after making a small incision, you will probably have to use the directional blasting of nanorobots.
It’s exciting just to think about it.”
The wasteland biologist blew out a smoke ring comfortably and said to Jiang Xia:
"I have to inject it with an anesthetic at least ten times higher than the human body's tolerance limit, to prevent it from suddenly jumping up and clawing me, according to Pomegranate.
This is a demon general, his physique is so tough.
This makes me wonder what the flesh and blood of the demon kings and big demons would be like?
Shattering stars with bare hands?
To be honest, I think this creature called a monster is completely challenging my common sense of biology. "
"You'll have to ask Pomegranate about that."
Jiang Xia glanced around and found Shi Liu was looking at a tablet computer intently.
I leaned over to take a look and found that someone had picked a movie for Shi Liu to watch. It looked like it was made with CG, with exciting scenes and a magical realism theme.
There happens to be an army of gargoyles that look very similar to Pomegranate, which makes Pomegranate feel extremely involved.
The spirit had a keen sense and it immediately sensed Jiang Xia's gaze, so it turned its head and continued as Jiang Xia said:
"The demon king can break mountains with his strength, and his flesh and blood alone are as tough as magic weapons. The guns and cannons you used to injure the demon general will be like tickling the demon king.
The big monsters are even more powerful.
The mountain guardian grandma said that the flesh and blood of the big monster had been tempered to the extreme, and it also had honed and matured its innate magical powers. With the use of the Dharma technique, it would be no problem for it to swallow the sky and eat the earth.
As for the Demon Saint...
I told you before that the wolf demon Saint Xiaofeng of the demon clan had gone mad, do you remember? Do you know why the Immortal Alliance locked him up in the Demon Suppression Tower instead of killing him?"
Jiang Xia and Roger shook their heads at the same time.
Pomegranate chuckled twice, stretched out its claws, made a downward chopping motion, and said:
“Because he can’t be killed.
Unless you, the human race's Taoist Ancestor Fushi, or I, the spirit holy spirit, Niang Xixin, take action, there are no weapons or spells in the Ku Mu Realm that can kill the Demon Saint's immortal body.
It is said that when a monster cultivates to that level, as long as the fire in its heart is not extinguished, it will be immortal. "
The happiness that Pomegranate talked about was just bragging and chatting to pass the time.
Jiang Xia listened with great interest and used the recording function of the chip to record all he saw and heard so that he could study it slowly later. Rogge did not participate in this conversation.
He still has surgery to do.
After the synchronous cutter on the top of the robotic arm on the machine tool was installed and adjusted, the unconscious wolf demon was carried by Niu Hanhan and Su and fixed on the machine tool.
Five thick cables were clipped onto the wolf demon's limbs and neck to prevent it from hurting people once it woke up. Once that happened, there would be a megaampere-level instantaneous electric shock to teach it a lesson...
Uh, no, be a demon.
There were also handcuffs made of high-strength alloy, which fixed the wolf monster's limbs in a "big" shape and fixed them to the machine tool. It was not until this moment that Jiang Xia noticed that there were two heavy objects on the monster's chest.
There were also familiar feminine features between her legs.
Tsk tsk.
This is still a female monster.
It’s just that she is quite different from the seductive “female monster” in Lao Jiang’s memory.
It was said that a craniotomy was to be performed to remove the unknown substance that was pressing on the nerves and brain stem in the monster's brain, but in fact, the first step was not for Rogge to use a scalpel to cut a hole in its brain.
The wolf monster's bones are incredibly hard, even harder than alloys.
Only three plasma synchronized cutters could be used, through precise mechanical control, to create a triangular "brain hole" at the wound to facilitate Rogge's next cleaning operation.
This process is controlled by the machine tool's intelligent program.
Following Rogge's order, Su in the distance turned on the switch, and the three multi-joint robotic arms on the left and right of the machine tool started to move rapidly, which was both flexible and intelligent.
It looks like a three-clawed mechanical octopus, baring its fangs and trying to swallow something.
This made the fourth brother who was watching nearby feel scared, and Niu Hanhan, who was very brave in facing the monster, also showed a trace of fear on his face.
This is the vigilance and fear that comes from the unknown.
The robotic arm quickly locked its position, and as the flexible probes kept changing their positions, a relatively constant triangular array was formed, and the three probes began to rotate at the same time.
It was just like Su and Jasmine cutting the spirit stone.
Three reddish plasma beams shot down at the same time. These highly penetrating rays maintained an extremely high frequency under the constraints of the magnetic field.
The moment of contact, it cut open the flesh on the wolf demon's forehead and pressed against the skull, making a hissing cutting sound and even bursts of high-temperature smoke.
This doesn't look like surgery at all.
It's clearly industrial cutting.
Complaints aside, the commotion was indeed a bit loud, but the process was smooth.
After more than twenty seconds of cutting, the flexible robotic arm retracted.
A triangular hole finally opened up on the wolf demon's smoking skull.
It's Rogge's turn next.
He wore a pair of rimless glasses, which were connected to a medical lens device found in the base through a chip, projecting the image inside the wolf demon's skull onto the lenses.
Holding an automatic medical forceps in each hand, he took a deep breath and took a step forward.
Fortunately, the mentality and skills acquired through years of training were not lost. After trying once , he was able to accurately capture the shadow block in the wolf monster's brain the second time.
He pulled lightly.
The thing moved a bit, but it still stood firmly in it, and there was a slight vibration.
Rogge's expression changed immediately.
The situation was moving towards his worst guess. The shadow in the CT image was not a blood clot. Judging from the stability of the foreign object that had penetrated the brain, it should have been artificially implanted into the wolf demon's brain.
Perhaps, it is some kind of magical weapon?
"Su! Get the life support device! And Jiang, come and help!"
Rogge called out in the chip, and Jiang Xia immediately stepped forward. Rogge handed the two medical forceps in his hand to Jiang Xia, and Su also rushed over pushing a life support device.
Insert two life-support tubes into the wolf demon's long nostrils.
"After I implant the chip, you guys pull it out with force!"
Roger held a chip injection tube waiting to be implanted in his hand. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said something to the two of them.
"It's so rough, almost like slaughter. Won't it die?"
Sue asked.
Roger shook his head and did not answer.
Jiang Xia glanced at the healed wounds on the wolf demon's body and said:
"Judging from its physical condition, its brain shouldn't be that fragile.
Even if it died unfortunately, it was just unlucky. We had enough reasons to kill it, but now we spared its life.
We have done our best to this extent.
Young man, don’t think too much.”
Five minutes later, as Rogge implanted the chip into the other side of the wolf demon's brain, Jiang Xia and Su grabbed two medical forceps, looked at each other, and then exerted force at the same time.
Really trying my best.
Su's side was smoother. With a "pop" sound, liquid burst out and he took two steps back. There was a needle-like object on the medical forceps in his hand.
But Jiang Xia encountered some trouble.
He tried his best but couldn't pull out the thing that was fixed in there.
It was as if that thing had taken root in the wolf demon's brain. He could only step on the edge of the machine tool with his left foot, leaning his body back, like playing tug-of-war, gritting his teeth, and exerting all his strength.
"puff"
The same liquid burst out.
Jiang Xia fell backwards, his body swayed a few times, and he took several steps back before he stood firm. In the medical forceps in his hand, there was a needle-like object covered in blood.
“Ouch!”
The pain coming from his mind stimulated the exhausted wolf demon to open his eyes wide from the anesthesia. His eyes were full of bloodshot and blood was gushing out of the cut hole in his brain.
It raised its head, struggled and roared, and the heavy machine tools were shaken and creaked.
The alloy handcuffs were directly broken.
But the violent electric shock that followed turned its roar into a whimpering sound like a puppy.
It was indeed a serious injury.
After this incident, the werewolf-like guy's brain went crooked and he fell into coma again.
Rogge hurried forward, took the repair fluid, and injected it into the wolf demon's bleeding brain. The life-support machine next to it was beeping and operating at full capacity.
The vital signs line above jumps as excitingly as a roller coaster.
But Jiang Xia's attention was now completely attracted by the thing in his hand.
He pulled the thing out of the wolf demon's brain, wiped the blood stains off it, and placed it in front of his eyes. Under the light in the warehouse, the thing reflected scattered and fragmented light.
A long needle, like a hairpin used by women.
Made of jade, with traces of hand-polishing.
At the end of the needle, there is a three-claw buckle shape that looks like an insect's claw.
On Sue's side, there's another shorter one.
But the two are obviously matching.
"Is this a magical weapon?"
Jiang Xia stroked the thing in his hand and could feel the uneven marks on its surface like runes. He then glanced at the unconscious wolf demon with blood gushing from his head.
A trace of thought flashed in his eyes. Shi Liu came over to take a look. When he saw the long needle shape, he widened his eyes in shock, his heart went cold, and then he screamed indignantly:
"Who is so vicious?"
"They tortured the monsters like this. If the Immortal Alliance knew, they would definitely not let them go!"
