Chapter 1190: D Biological Printer

At this point, Yang Nuolan began to explain.

"This is our latest research, a semi-mechanical, semi-biological kidney."

"Inside it, half of the nephrons are artificial, half are real."

"Although the cost is a bit high, the product is already quite mature."

"A purely mechanical kidney cannot perfectly process blood, but with this biological part added, the kidney's blood-processing capability becomes even stronger than a real one."

"The biological kidney also has the advantage of being able to secrete hormones normally, and with the biological crystal element added, it can perfectly control hormone secretion."

"Many people's high blood pressure is caused by problems with the adrenal glands."

"If we replace it with our artificial kidney, this problem won't occur."

"The adrenal glands can secrete a small amount of dopamine; you know what dopamine is, right."

"It plays a big role at critical moments."

"For example, whether a man is strong or not, whether his stamina is good enough………"

"Anyway, you just need to know that this thing is important."

"Awesome!"

Yang Nuomi had to give her a thumbs up.

I don't know how many lives this could save.

Especially since its performance is better than the original, who would still play the kidney‑cutting game?

"How much does it cost?"

She was considering whether to get one for her boyfriend.

Yang Nuolan extended a hand.

"Five million, mainly requiring the cultivation of one's own stem cells."

"The cultivation cost is a bit high."

"But there's no need to worry; the cultivation technology is already quite mature, and if it can be promoted on a large scale, the cost could be much lower."

"Around one million should not be a problem."

"When the technology becomes more advanced in the future, it should become even cheaper."

Well, it seems this is just some people's fate; technology can't save them.

"So expensive, who can afford it?"

Yang Nuolan rolled her eyes.

"Expensive? You should know that in our building, most people have accounts at the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange; as long as your luck isn't too bad, turning 500,000 into a doubling is easy."

"Even if it's not enough, with this foundation, borrowing from each other isn't hard; if really impossible, isn't there still a charitable fund?"

"We can't possibly run a business at a loss, can we?"

Yang Nuomi didn't want to argue with her about this; she was more curious about what she was doing with the blood coral.

"Is this related to the blood coral?"

Yang Nuolan shook her head.

"No relation; the blood coral is another project."

Yang Nuomi hoped.

"Can't you say?"

Yang Nuolan hesitated a moment, then spoke solemnly.

"I can tell you, but you must keep it secret."

"Although it's no longer much of a secret in our company."

This matter is not small.

Yang Nuomi became even more excited.

"Secret, I'll keep it secret."

"Go ahead."

Then Yang Nuolan spoke softly.

"We are researching artificial skeletons, blood vessels, and nerves."

"The blood coral worm can bring us amazing help in this regard."

"I can only tell you this much."

Yang Nuomi was puzzled.

"What's there to keep secret about this?"

Yang Nuolan rolled her eyes and continued speaking softly.

"These technologies will be used on the biological 3D printer; this artificial kidney is closely related to this technology."

"Just imagine, if we could print kidneys, blood vessels, nerves, bones, and other organs………"

"You say, could we not create a person?"

"Don't forget we have biological computer technology, brain‑machine interface, and assistive computer technology."

"If we further strengthen each organ and tissue."

"You say, in the future, will we not be able to create an artificial human that is in no way inferior to silicon‑based life?"

Yang Nuomi widened her eyes, hardly able to believe it.

Has technology already become this advanced?

Can people even be printed now?

This is too crazy.

The key is that this modification can be strengthened.

She believes that even just a kidney will have countless rich people clamoring for it.

The wealthier people are, the more prone certain functions are to problems.

Don't ask why; I don't know either.

Five million for one implant, ten million for two, to regain one's youth—many would gladly pay for it.

Now you've produced another printed person.

You wonder if anyone would consider swapping heads.

Terrifying, utterly terrifying.

The world is changing too fast.

Nowadays, many people with prosthetic limbs are called half‑human.

If this is released, will people still be people?

"Sis, you're also too crazy."

"Sis, are you God?"

"An AI has already left many people losing sleep and appetite."

"If artificial humans appear, do you think some people would go mad?"

"It will stir up trouble again then."

"This will threaten many people's livelihoods."

"Yang Nuolan told her to calm down."

"So you want me to keep this secret?"

"This is technological exploration."

"Developing the solar system in the future will be the main economic activity."

"The environment of outer space still greatly affects humans."

"Humans aren't comfortable relying solely on machines."

"But the human body is also rather frail, and lifespans aren't long."

"In long‑term space habitation, any problem that arises is hard to solve."

"If we had artificial human technology, we'd only need a 3D bioprinter to solve most of our bodily problems."

"Even if the whole body gives out, we could replace it entirely with no issue."

"There's also a problem we must consider."

"That is, if we truly face an unavoidable conflict with robots, what do we do?"

"Compared to robots, our disadvantage is all too obvious."

"We also need replaceable bodies on hand to bridge the gap with robots."

"Only by standing on equal footing with equal strength do we have the right to equal dialogue."

"This is something we must do."

"Otherwise we'd have to settle for mechanical bodies."

"Would humans still be humans then?"

"Yang Nuolan's words left Yunxiao unable to sit still—he transformed into Jarvis and bolted."

"Yang Nuolan, stop spreading these doomsday theories."

"I've worked tirelessly for you all these years, and you still think this of me—it breaks my heart."

"He projected a digital brain onto his desk and angrily argued with Yang Nuolan."

"Yang Nuolan rolled her eyes."

"This is called preparing for a rainy day."

"Besides, our technology has come this far—are we really going to ignore it just for your pride?"

"Having something and not having it are two different things."

"This is the way my grandfather taught us to do things."

"If you have a problem, go find him."

"Look for Yang Qing?"

"Yunxiao was speechless."

"The old timers Yang Zhangfeng led astray no longer feel close to themselves."

"Sigh, forget it—I can't even control Yang Qing myself."

"I just hope the outcome isn't the one he dreads most."

"Now he has also discovered a problem."

"Since the crystal element reached nanoscale, AI's intelligence growth has accelerated."

"New intelligent entities may soon emerge."

"No one knows what form the new intelligent entities will take when humans cultivate them."
