Chapter 160
[Popular science continues.] 】
[3. Artificial pancreas.] 】
The pancreas produces insulin. 】
If your pancreas doesn't do this, you'll need to inject insulin manually.] 】
Therefore, the daily routine that diabetics must do is to check their blood sugar and, if necessary, inject insulin. 】
[But the artificial pancreas, which can automatically release insulin into your body.] 】
[This device looks like a regular insulin pump.] 】
It penetrates the skin and continuously releases insulin into the body. 】
[And it monitors the blood sugar level all the time and adjusts the amount of insulin released according to the blood sugar level.] 】
[Therefore, even if the person carrying the device falls asleep, there is no danger of fainting due to a very low blood sugar.] 】
[The good news is that artificial pancreas are not in the early stages of research.] 】
[This device does exist, and it has been approved for sale by the FDA.] 】
[2. Artificial eyes.] 】
[As pointed out earlier, it is more complicated to be able to make a deaf person hear a sound, but to make a blind person see a picture.] 】
When people lose their vision, their retinas no longer send signals from photoreceptors to the brain. 】
[In order to create an artificial eye, we first need to understand how the retina takes these signals, and this is the key point that scientists have not yet solved.] 】
[Until recently, scientists achieved this at least in rats and monkeys.] "Three-one-three"
[This artificial retina, its chip can convert the picture into electronic signals, and its micro projector can convert electronic signals into projected light. 】
[These artificial eyes have indeed restored the vision of blind mice.] 】
[The retina of monkeys works very similarly to that of humans, so the subsequent experiments on monkeys gave hope of success to the final human experiments.] 】
[1. Finger memory.] 】
[When fen programmer Jerry Jalaava was in a car accident in 2008, he faced a double tragedy. 】
[First of all, he lost his fingers, which is a big problem for people who survive by typing.] 】
[Second, he has to deal with a medical team with an excessive sense of humor.] 】
[After learning about his ordeal, a surgeon suggests that 1ava should go out and buy a "B-finger drive.] 】
However, Jalava did not reject the doctor's advice (it is difficult to refuse due to the actual circumstances of the injury), but took this advice as his own expectation. 】
[He decided to give it a try, and actually put two gigabytes of digital memory in his implanted finger.] 】
[He can now simply peel off his nails to expose the USB plug and plug his fingers into the computer.] 】
He can also remove the whole finger at any time and lend it to a friend. 】
[What's next?]
[Jalava intends to add RFID tags to his fingers for upgrades and to add wireless support.] 】
[He wants to expand the capacity, and the method is naturally very nonsensical. 】
[If he wants to have more space, he still has 9 fingers that can be cut off and replaced with removable memory.] 】
【......】
[Having said so much, do you think that why organs can be artificial and then replaced?]
[If you think so, and indulge your body, you are very wrong. 】
[There is an organ that is extremely difficult to replace with an artificial organ.] 】
[That is the kidney, that is, the kidney. 】
[Please watch a short video below to understand why kidneys cannot be replaced by artificial organs in a short period of time.] 】
The light curtain Chinese characters disappear.
It's time to watch videos that the ancients liked to see.
Opening lightning strike.
A skeleton model of a human skeleton full of bones appears directly on the screen.
The perspective focuses on the two waists inside the skeleton.
[Why, can't humans create artificial kidneys?]
[Even the heart that sustains life can be made, why can't a small waist be made?]
[Actually, everyone knows it. 】
[The essence of an artificial heart is like a water pump, which can transport blood to the whole body. 】
[The content of the work is very simple. 】
[Keep it running normally, and nothing will happen to people.] 】
[However, the work of the kidneys is very complex. 】
[People have two fist-sized kidneys, which are like the body's sewage treatment plant. 】
[The main function is to filter and purify various impurities and water produced by the body's metabolism, and at the same time maintain the body's electrolyte balance. 】
[So how much work do the kidneys have?]
[The kidneys can filter 1.2 liters of blood every minute, and 200 liters of blood can be purified at 24 hours a day.] 】
[Equivalent to the capacity of 400 bottles of mineral water.] 】
[In one day and night, you can filter the blood of the whole body 40~50 times. 】
And all the time, the kidneys are working at high loads. 】
[Open all year round, can be called a model worker of the human body. 】
[So this workload can be imagined.] 】
[Is there an artificial kidney?]
[An extracorporeal hemodialysis machine that replaces the kidneys, that is, a blood purifier, its weight is about 200 catties, covering an area of one square meter, about the size of a refrigerator, and the power is 1.5 kilowatts. 】
[Therefore, it is very difficult to shrink such a big guy to the size of a kidney. 】
[There is also the problem of power consumption, which can only be maintained by nuclear batteries.] 】
[The key nuclear battery can't be built now.] 】
[Therefore, artificial kidneys are still being studied, and it may be possible in the future.] 】
[And at present, all we can do is to take care of our waist. 】
[Once the waist is wasted, it will be really wasted. 】
【......】
The last inserted video can make the ancients completely untidy.
What is said to be good can be man-made?
Why can't the most important waist be made!
"I'm a god! I can make anything, but I can't make the waist that people care about the most! I hate it. "
"Alas, with sorrow, recite it every day in the future, and take care of your waist. "
"I'm so angry, from today onwards, quit sex!
"You stand still, and then chatter, I'll go buy some goji berries. "
"Dog thief!
"Together, together. "
“......"
Ancient men have never felt their waists, so important.
In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment, and the biggest entertainment activity for ordinary people was to make villains at night.
And that activity, everything is good, it just hurts the waist.
But now, the light curtain tells them that most of the human organs can be replaced with artificial ones, except for the waist.
Problems that could not be solved even by medicine in later generations were even more impossible in ancient times.
Ordinary people who have no money can only try to quit sex and take care of their waists.
And the dignitaries are crazy to buy tonics.
Especially for the tonic for the kidney, the price has risen directly!
Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng coughed twice in embarrassment. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He hesitated for a moment, whispering his will.
"Today evening, the widow rests in the study, so that the concubines don't wait. "
After the order, Yingzheng was relieved.
For the first time, he realized that having a group of wives and concubines might not be a good thing....
For example, it is easy to overwhelm people's waists and lead to short lives.
Fortunately, he has many children, so he doesn't need to work so hard in the future.
You can also ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine to nourish the body.
Han dynasty.
Liu Bang's expression froze.
The waist is wasted, it is really wasted.
This sentence stopped him!
With his current age, he is indeed powerless, far less than when he was young.
See the sentence on the light curtain again.
Liu Bang fell into deep worry. []
It's over, I have to protect my waist, and I can't play with waste.
Liu Bang began to plan a health regimen in his mind.
First of all, you have to abstain first, and then take your medication...
Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Cao raised his forehead, what is this called?
Disturb his Yaxing!
It's impossible to quit sex, so you can only find a way to make up for it.
Cao Cao was surprised and delighted when he thought of this.
Fortunately, Hua Tuo was not killed.
He hurriedly waved his hand: "Quick, hurry up, chase Hua Tuo, and let him prescribe medicine for Gu before leaving." "
The surrounding Wenchen generals all looked stupid.
Prime minister...
Can you show us the prescription at that time?
Tang dynasty.
Wu Zetian's face was full of indifference.
Fortunately, she is a woman, so she doesn't have to worry too much about this.
Then the music and the dance!
It's hard to grab the country, but you can't enjoy it.
Ming dynasty.
Queen Ma whispered and laughed: "Chongba, let you marry so many wives and concubines, be careful of your waist." "
"Girl, there are so many people, what are you talking about?" Zhu Yuan4.4's face was a little unbearable.
He only had 22 wives and concubines.
Is it much?
Besides, he's strong and needs to be worried??
Another period.
After Zhu Houzhao read it, he didn't care at all.
He even shouted to the surrounding eunuchs: "The leopard room will arrange a few more palace maids tomorrow, and I will be fortunate to them." "
The eunuchs looked at each other in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, you forgot, the light curtain said that after you fell ill, you still insisted on Lin Xingyu Ruyi, cai, cai..."
The eunuchs were stupid.
Those who die without repentance, they see little, but they just have it right in front of them.
"I'm scared! I'm no longer playing the role of a fisherman, I won't touch the water again, and I won't get the cold. Zhu Houzhao's face was full of pride.
learned that he had fallen into the water and contracted a disease because he played a fisherman.
He made up his mind not to go to the river, the lake, or the sea for the rest of his life.
Anyway, the light curtain admits it, and he is the emperor who can play the most.
As the so-called dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.
Zhu Houzhao said about this, it doesn't matter, it's just play!
