Two hours later, an encrypted message popped up on the safe house computer screen.
Old Eagle's fingers flew across the keyboard. The decryption program ran, and lines of text appeared on the screen.
He skimmed through them quickly, then turned the laptop toward Tianyi.
"The surgical plan provided by the expert team back home."
Tianyi lowered his head to look. The screen was filled with dense text accompanied by several high-precision 3D diagrams—the reconstructed neck CT model of the Rabbit Nation agent who had previously died in action, showing the same situation as Professor Gao.
The grain-of-rice-sized XT-7 bomb beside the seventh cervical vertebra was marked in red. The surrounding carotid artery, spinal cord, and nerve plexus were labeled in different colors, as clear as an anatomical atlas.
The plan was divided into four parts.
Preoperative preparation and magnetic barrier construction.
Three layers of magnetic field shields would be arranged around Professor Gao's neck—the first layer would neutralize the XT-7's internal electromagnetic induction circuitry, preventing unauthorized operations from triggering an explosion.
The second layer would precisely locate the boundaries between the bomb and the surrounding tissue, keeping the margin of error within 0.1 millimeters.
The third layer would serve as an emergency braking layer. If abnormal capacitor discharge inside the bomb was detected, it would immediately use magnetism to lock down the bomb's core and delay detonation by at least three seconds. Three seconds would be enough for Tianyi to remove the bomb.
Next came Medical Ninjutsu: Cell Activation.
Before the operation, Tianyi would inject Professor Gao's neck with the refined chakra of the Mystical Palm Technique, temporarily suppressing the activity of the cells around the bomb. This would temporarily deprive the tissue of pain sensation while reducing blood vessel fragility to prevent massive bleeding during separation.
The chakra would
