Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1401 - 1056: Taking the Field Personally

After visiting Liquan Hospital, Yang Ping returned to Sanbo Hospital, of course, accompanied by many guards.

Since the last attack on Yang Ping, security has been significantly heightened. Whether inside the Hospital or when going out, he is accompanied by guards, although they are well hidden, making it seem as if he isn’t accompanied by anyone.

For a genius like him, the higher-ups have placed great importance on him. While granting him ample freedom, they also go out of their way to protect him.

He may look just like a doctor, but the power he holds can shake the interests of major capitalists at any time. Some people want to win him over, but if they fail, they may harbor thoughts of destruction. Hence, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility is true, but so is the increased risk.

Ruixing Company, Liquan Hospital, and Tang Shun-managed Laboratories can be said to be models of technological commercialization. With their help, Yang Ping has achieved financial freedom and can do as he pleases, like his current research on treating tumors with the K virus. If he needs money, he gets money; if he needs software assistance tools, someone will immediately develop it; if he needs equipment, he can buy it at any time. If it’s not available on the market, it has to be developed.

And then there’s the Research Fund in place, so now, Yang Ping hardly has any worries about research funding.

A few days later, the second experiment on Sisi could begin. There was no high fever after the second viral injection, as if she’d been injected with saline, very stable, with no excessive reaction. Even Yang Ping doubted whether the virus had all died before injection.

The stability is there, but after various examinations, no tumor cells were found to be successfully infected by the virus, let alone triggering the apoptosis program.

This experiment failed uneventfully. This time, the K factor was planted in the middle of the virus instead of one end like the first time. It seems that in any scientific research, trial and error is inevitable. Some things cannot be predicted by existing theories and can only be found through trial and error, constantly summarizing within those errors and forming new theories or revising old ones spiraling upwards - that is the normal trajectory of scientific development.

At that time, the biggest help the system actually gave to himself was the countless opportunities to trial and error and the huge time advantage. Previously, all trials and errors were placed in the System Space, but now without the system’s help, all trials and errors are experienced in reality. Although computers can take over some of the trial and error, models can reduce detours, but even the most mature simulation models have gaps with reality and cannot be wholly substituted. Models are just simplified simulations of the real thing.

Without the system, Yang Ping did not give up. He continues his research and implanted the K factor into another end of the virus, but this time a high fever occurred, and the reaction was even more severe than the first time.

During the high fever, Sisi experienced sudden cardiac arrest, but was timely rescued. However, after being rescued, she could only rely on ECMO for life support and is unable to come off the machine.

However, the third time revealed tumor cells infected by the virus and cells undergoing apoptosis. From the three trials and errors, Yang Ping found that to be effective, the K factor needs to be placed at both ends, but this inevitably causes severe immune opposition. To avoid the severe immune reaction, the K factor must be placed in the middle, but then the K virus loses its ability to attack tumor cells. It is a contradiction.

Yang Ping decided to try different positions of the K factor on both ends, but Sisi is currently still on ECMO and obviously cannot continue participating in the experiments.

"Should we recruit some volunteers for the experiment?" Song Zimo reminded Yang Ping.

Yang Ping shook his head: "I’ve considered it. Using it on Sisi is a last resort for us, an act of desperation. Recruiting volunteers is different; it’s illegal and against the principles of scientific research ethics. If the experiment succeeds, it’s fine, but if it fails, we would be in great trouble."

In fact, Yang Ping is clearly aware that his direction is correct; the remaining issue is finding a balance between efficacy and safety. The question is which configuration is effective and the safest.

Looking at Sisi lying in the isolation area, depending on ECMO for life support, Yang Ping felt very guilty. However, he knew that feeling guilty was useless; only by finding a way to make the experiment successful could Sisi have hope of being saved. He must race against Death, as Sisi’s condition, if she can’t come off the machine for a long time, will inevitably lead to a tragic ending.

Director’s Office.

Yang Ping was pondering what to do next. To find a healthy person to experiment with, after testing the virus on a healthy person and ensuring its safety before using it on Sisi, the final result, effective or not, would at least not harm Sisi again. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But where to find a healthy person? As long as money is offered, there will definitely be people willing to participate in the experiment. However, this is clearly unethical, and Yang Ping doesn’t want to proceed in this manner. As for experimenting on Sisi, the situation is different; for Sisi, this is the only chance of survival.

While pondering, Yang Ping tried to enter the System Space, but was unable to do so. The gray panel signaled: "The system is in a dormant state."

Yang Ping couldn’t help feeling disappointed. How great it would be if the system could be used now; Sisi would definitely have a chance. But unfortunately, at this crucial moment, the system has gone on strike.
