Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1480 - 1107: Won’t Get Drunk, Right?

"Professor Yang, your Spatial Orientation Gene Theory has opened the doors to a new world. Its significance lies not merely in the localized cloning of organs in the laboratory, but it also provides a theoretical basis for the original cell repair of the human body. Based on this, the field of trauma surgery is set to undergo revolutionary changes," said Professor Lehman excitedly.

Professor Mainshtan nodded, "For example, the repair of spinal and peripheral nerve damage has always been a daunting challenge in medical science. Despite persistent research by numerous doctors and scientists, there has been no substantial breakthrough due to the lack of foundational theories. Now, supported by your theory, I have embarked on the research of peripheral nerve damage repair through original cell repair and have achieved certain breakthroughs. I have used mice as experimental subjects, and the repair of their spinal nerve damage has already realized partial original cell repair."

The so-called original cell repair means that the "material" used for repair after tissue damage in the human body is still the original "material." Microscopically, it involves repair by the cells of the tissue itself. It sounds simple, but it is very challenging to achieve. Apart from skeletal damage, other organs and tissues in the human body cannot be repaired through original cell repair. Instead, they are repaired through a mix of original cells and connective tissue, which is why skin damage often leaves scars.

If, in the future, all human body damage could be healed through original cell repair, then skin injuries would leave no scars at all, and there would be no concerns over the recovery of nerve damage, as it would heal back to its original state within weeks or months.

"Yes, not only in the field of original cell repair, but the content of human genetics has also been expanded and entered a new development platform. Previously, if the highest dimension of genetics was two-dimensional, now your theory has brought human genetics into the study of three-dimensional space. All previous studies on biological genetics never realized that the three-dimensional structure could be directed by genes. Now, when carefully considered, if not directed by genes, then who? Why don’t the multitude of cells in the human body form a two-dimensional flat plane, but instead construct a complex three-dimensional shape? Of course, it’s not random; nor is it naturally occurring. That’s just an inept excuse," said Mr. Lehman profoundly.

"After reading your theory, sometimes I look at myself in the mirror. Countless cells make up me, but why do they form a three-dimensional structure like me? Who is controlling all of this behind the scenes? Now you have given me the answer."

"It’s like a building made of simple steel and concrete. No matter if it’s the steel bars or the piled-up concrete, they don’t have intricate shapes. Who then constructs these simple materials into a grand, beautiful, and functionally complex building? Previous biology limited us to studying the steel and concrete themselves, their structure and function of the building, but never researched how the steel and concrete were used to construct this complex building. Behind them, there are blueprints, designers, workers, etc., who build precisely according to the blueprints, resulting in tall and complex buildings. Your theory truly connects cells with the human body, which in fact, has always been disjointed. Everyone presumes to know the process: cells form tissues, tissues form organs, organs form systems, systems form a complete human body, but in reality, they know nothing, merely staying at ’sugar tastes sweet, so it is sweet’."

"For the cloning of localized organs, researchers attempt to use modern Biological 3D Printing Technology to achieve this. It seems correct, but of course, I don’t know if it truly is. Only the future can make a real judgment. However, I personally believe that to truly use 3D printing technology to replicate human organs, we must understand how cells construct organs. If this aspect is unclear, similar to not understanding what the genuine product looks like, how can we possibly use the genuine to replicate the counterfeit? Thus, your theory also guides the future development direction of Biological 3D Printing Technology—one day in the future, 3D printing technology might be able to print out qualified, customized human organs in factories."

"Thus, your theory is incredibly important; for this reason, in this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology, we haven’t planned to let you share it with anyone else, but to let you alone enjoy it, as that suits your research achievements,"

Yang Ping, Professor Mainshtan, Professor Lehman, and others, originally, everyone was just sitting down for a casual chat, and unexpectedly, a small academic salon quietly began.

"Before your theory emerged, I was very confused, truly, very depressed and confused. I believed that medicine was dead, or at least had entered a dormant period. I saw no dawn, and the future looked bleak. However, after your theory was introduced, I felt that the future of medicine is bright and that, in front of us, there is a whole new world," Professor Mainshtan spoke with the passion of a poet.

"Tumors, infectious diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, countless diseases plague humanity. Humanity barely controls some diseases, then other diseases emerge. They are like moles, one goes down, another pops up."

"If we calm down and inspect, you will find that we have not advanced in treatment methods. What looks like minor progress is not due to real progress in medicine and biology itself, but due to advancements in physical technologies such as optics, electronics, electromagnetism, or chemical technologies. These advancements are highly tool-oriented improvements, not true medical progress. For example, treatments like endoscopic and laparoscopic appendectomy, where the underlying theory remains the resection of the inflamed appendix, differed from the past methods where direct visual resection was used. Now aided by optical and electronic technology, a few small holes are made to perform the appendix resection. Thus, there’s no substantial theoretical progress; it’s merely changing from a wooden sword to an iron sword, yet people often proudly boast about such minor advances, mistaking them for a true run."

"Major manufacturers have discovered this secret; they gather talent and capital in these fields because true medical progress is arduous and strenuous, while these advancements are relatively easy, obvious, and more importantly, can generate enormous profits."

Discussions on medical technology gradually include a hint of humanitarian discussion.

"Of course, any advancement is worth encouraging, but it also deserves our vigilance. These tool-oriented innovations have led to excessive use. For instance, robotic surgeries, their excessive use has imposed hefty economic burdens on patients. Yet, this also presents a dilemma, if we don’t proceed in this manner, no one will actively push forward these tools’ advancements. Tool advancements are a form of progress as well."

Professor Mainshtan’s assistant has already sent out several boxes of books; this popular science book can be said to be the best public interpretation of Yang Ping’s theory, and everyone wants to gain an understanding of this set of theories.

Many top world scholars, in order to maintain long-term stable communication with Yang Ping, have all learned to use WeChat. Each one of them downloaded WeChat on their phones, added Yang Ping’s WeChat, and then formed various academic groups.

They suddenly discovered that this instant online communication method is very useful, much better than previous email communications. They communicate when they want to and ignore it when they don’t, without the issue of invading personal space. Previously, they refused to use these instant communication tools under the pretext of maintaining personal space, but it was just an excuse for their outdated communication methods. They realized how outdated they were, still accustomed to email communications.

Days ago, the scholars also visited Yang Ping’s laboratory in groups, which changed their misconceptions about China’s scientific research environment. Many Chinese scientists, after visiting the laboratory, harbored thoughts of returning to their home country.

Indeed, the domestic research environment, both in terms of software and hardware, is already very good. Although there are still many dissatisfactions, it will gradually get better and better because the world itself is not perfect.

"Xiao Yang, a few seniors over there want to have a chat with you," Professor Su came over and whispered to Yang Ping.

Not far away, Professor Liang, Professor Xiang, and a few other senior professors were greeting him. Engrossed in his conversation with Professor Mainshtan and Professor Lehman, Yang Ping had neglected the others. He immediately greeted Professor Mainshtan and Professor Lehman, explained the situation, and then went to meet Professor Liang.

After chatting with Professor Liang for a while, Yang Ping hurriedly went to look for Director Han and Dean Xia, who were the ones who supported him the most. But he couldn’t find them after searching for a long time.

At that moment, Director Han and Dean Xia were hiding in a secluded smoking room smoking.

Dean Xia peered outside: "It’s about time, let’s go shake hands with Xiao Yang, and congratulate him."

"He’s busy right now; us going there would just add to the chaos. Not saying a few words might make you feel neglected, but saying too much, with so many people here today, would leave everyone hoarse. We don’t have that much energy. Let’s just hide here, we’ll have plenty of time to chat later," Director Han pushed back Dean Xia as he was peering out.

Dean Xia thought about it and felt it made sense: "You’re right. It’s not like Xiao Yang doesn’t know any better. When he gets excited, he’ll drink a sip whenever someone toasts with red wine. With so many people today, everyone taking a sip would be overwhelming, and it’s worrying if he gets drunk."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed a few young graduate students to follow him with wine. The bottle they’re carrying is filled with a red-colored health drink. I’ve told those youngsters to keep a tight watch on Xiao Yang’s wine glass, making sure no one pours real alcohol in it."

"This is like a wedding, it’s easy to get drunk when you’re happy."

"Don’t worry, Xiong Sihai and a few from the institute who can really hold their liquor are following behind too. Director Qiu has also specifically arranged a few young guys with high alcohol tolerance to follow him. If anyone tries to make him drink excessively, they’ll handle it."

"That sounds about right."
