Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1418 - 1064: Digital Camera

They were not only excited to participate in this research, but also thrilled by the massive medical breakthrough it represented. In the field of tumor treatment, since targeted therapy and cell therapy, it had been a long time since a new, exciting treatment method appeared.

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Xiaolu hugged each other, too moved to speak.

It wasn’t just Professor Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Xiaolu who were excited; all the graduate students were thrilled, participating in such significant scientific research during their graduate studies would be a glorious page in their research careers.

Moreover, during this participation, they learned some of the world’s top scientific research thinking and methods, which meant they acquired top-level thinking and methods during their student years, greatly impacting their future academic path. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

On the other hand, Sisi did not have a high fever throughout, just mild to moderate fever for two days, with no antipyretic treatment used, after which she returned to normal by herself. Her levels, except for an increase in white blood cells and lymphocytes, showed no significant changes.

A weight was lifted off Yang Ping’s shoulders, giving him more confidence in the experiment. This experiment was accomplished without the aid of the system, suggesting the trials given by the system had fostered an ability in him, including the grasping of research directions in scientific research.

Previously with the system’s help, Yang Ping may not have unleashed his potential, but now without the system’s help, his potential was released. Perhaps it is the incessant, dedicated research in the System Space that has cultivated this extraordinary capability.

Based on current calculations, Sisi’s tumor would shrink by about 3%, a measurable outcome. After a few days, when the dead tumor cells are broken down and absorbed, Yang Ping could perform imaging examinations on Sisi, but she cannot undergo an MR examination as she must remain on ECMO, and by the principle of comparison, only similar examinations can be compared.

Yang Ping had to postpone the imaging examinations, and began checking the tumor growth rates calculated by the graduate students. Eventually, the volume difference between the two inspections would relate to the differences between growth rates and shrinkage rates. If the difference is positive, the tumor will still grow, albeit at a slower rate; if negative, the tumor will shrink, calculations that are easy to do and for which standard methods exist.

Whether this difference is positive or negative is crucial. A negative value implies that the tumor might be curable while a positive value indicates that the tumor can only be temporarily controlled, which still represents significant progress.

Yang Ping compiled data from the third phase of the experiment and published it in "Medicine," a journal he runs, which, due to its online and print dual options, has rapidly gained international fame despite having only a Chinese version.

To accelerate translating its articles into English, spontaneous translation groups composed of working professionals or researchers from medical colleges in the United States, Europe, and Japan have emerged, distributing the translated papers online.

The "Medicine" journal, utilizing the speed of internet dissemination, has gained significant prominence in the medical community, with many international scholars, including Manstein, strongly supporting "Medicine," contributing to its high-quality papers and nearly vertical rise in all indicators, and it is believed it could soon become one of the world’s leading journals.

Now Yang Ping has published an article on the K virus as a tumor treatment in this journal, immediately sparking vigorous discussions, where despite questions about the ethicality of the experiment, the audacity and imagination of the researchers are admired.

Utilizing existing safe viruses to design an artificial virus capable of killing certain types of tumor cells represents an entirely novel treatment concept.

In the skyscraper of BG Company.

Li Gaoyang was now extremely stressed, with the English translation of Yang Ping’s public paper displayed on his desktop.

Ruixing Company’s suppression was still brewing, and now startling news emerged: Sanbo Hospital’s experiments were studying a new tumor treatment method. After analyzing the paper, experts in the United States, through intense debates, believe this revolutionary method will eventually demolish traditional tumor treatment methods. Having dominated in the traditional treatment field for decades and established a factual monopoly, BG Company’s revenue is mostly generated from tumor treatment, making this new method a potential threat to their foundation.

Typically, they handle emerging challenges through acquisitions, a tried and true method, but for Yang Ping, obviously, this approach proves ineffective. They had once extended an olive branch to him due to his proposal of the Spatial Orientation Gene theory, offering unimaginable conditions such as a nine-figure salary, a luxury villa, women, and setting up an experimental lab per his desires, yet Yang Ping showed no interest, firmly and clearly refusing their invitation.

"If initially the proposition of the Spatial Orientation Gene made the bigwigs at BG Company believe that Yang Ping was a rare genius and that recruiting him would give their biomedical technology an absolute advantage, securing a wealth of technologies for the future, bringing immense profit to the company.

However, this news now suggests that if this new technology is not theirs, and not under their control, it will destroy the foundation of the company’s tumor treatment, rendering all accrued technologies and reserves to nothing, as it directly establishes a new pathway, in which BG Company has zero accumulation.

Technological reserves are the moats formed by the long-term accumulation of a high-tech company, and such fortifications are difficult to cross because newcomers, even if they develop a bit of new tech, are always playing catch-up as BG Company can counter with its reserves.

But if a competitor opens up a brand new track, that changes everything, making all reserves worthless overnight.

Just like digital cameras made film cameras obsolete. Developing superior film cameras would hardly dethrone the existing industry giants, but the advent of digital cameras made film cameras worthless, relegated to historical museums.

Now, Yang Ping’s Virus Therapy is like the digital camera, while BG Company has hoarded a large amount of technology in the film camera sector, far ahead of any competitors, fantasizing about relying on these accumulations to continue reaping huge profits.

The emergence of a completely new digital camera is absolutely intolerable—either own it or destroy it.

BG Company is now divided into two factions, the elder statesmen believe in cooperating with Yang Ping, finding no need for conflict, while the younger faction advocates for fatally suppressing Ruixing Group and Yang Ping, resorting to extreme measures when necessary, and eradicating the enemy at its inception.

Representative of the younger faction is Li Gaoyang, who, even if he might need surgery from Yang Ping in the future, would spare no effort, as personal matters should not affect the future of the entire BG Company.

To eliminate internal resistance, Li Gaoyang and the younger generation like Rolf decided to undermine the decision-making power of these elders, aiming to expel them, freeing themselves from their behind-the-scene controls.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Gaoyang slammed the document on the conference table.

"It either becomes ours, or we destroy it, there is no third option," a senior executive said sternly.

Today’s meeting was attended only by members of the younger faction, with no elder statesmen.

"I agree!"

Another executive raised his hand.

"Tumor treatment is one of our main pillars of revenue. If left unchecked, this pillar will be continuously eroded until we lose it completely, so I suggest we launch a destructive attack while it’s still nascent, of course, acquiring it is also an option."

"How do we explain to those old fogeys? They’re always a hindrance."

"Of course, they are afraid of death, they have already lost their fighting spirit, and to think they would kowtow to the enemy just to cling to life for a few more years."

"Today’s meeting content is strictly confidential, we must not report to those old fogeys, any intelligence regarding this matter should first come to me, we must take action, the future of BG Company must be in our hands, not in the hands of those decrepit old men, who only know how to look out for themselves."
