In medicine, neurology had always been a particularly challenging field, especially when spinal nerves were involved, where matters became especially complicated.
When the ends of the spinal nerves were damaged and the entire lower body was paralyzed, doctors would generally tell the patient that standing again was basically impossible.
Li Gaoliang's situation was the same. Once central nervous cells were damaged, they could not regenerate. No matter how brilliant the doctor, they could not simply reconnect a severed spine and make a paralyzed person stand again.
However, the treatment Lu Zhou intended to use was anything but conventional.
Neural signal data units would be implanted at both ends of the damaged spinal nerve segment, while biomimetic neural sensors made from molybdenum-titanium alloy would cover the damaged nerves.
It was equivalent to building a bridge over the damaged spinal nerves, replacing the complex transmission of signals between neurons with electrical signals. The "translators" at either end would convert electrical signals into neural signals and vice versa, controlling a titanium alloy skeletal structure fitted with electric drive devices, thereby restoring the patient's ability to move his legs.
At the same time, in order to restore the patient's mobility as much as possible and extend the service life of this neurally connected prosthetic system, the titanium alloy skeleton used for his legs had been jointly designed by the Computational Materials Research Institute and the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
If the cost were calculated, the average price per gram exceeded two thousand dollars, meaning one kilogram cost at least two million dollars.
Including the value of the neural interface equipment itself, the cost of installing this entire system was almost comparable to that of a main battle tank...
Still, that comparison was not really wrong. After this
