Doctor: start with the heart

Chapter 157 Updated system and brand new card draw mechanism

Four p.m.

Stem cell research center, biological cultivation room.

Zhao Xu and all the members of the team were in the cultivation room. Through the transparent plexiglass, it was obvious that the new kidney tissue was growing on patient A Qiang's original kidney blood vessels and nerve scaffolds.

On the dark red kidney blood vessels and nerve scaffolds, there are some off-white tissues attached. These tissues are newborn kidney cells that have been cultivated and differentiated by stem cells.

"This is the future!"

Seeing this scene, Sun Chang, who was standing next to Zhao Xu, said with some emotion.

This kind of creation method from scratch, if placed in ancient times, would definitely be regarded as a miracle, which already involves the authority of the creator.

Moreover, although this time the kidney tissue was built and cultivated on the basis of the patient's original kidney blood vessels and nerve tissue, it is not completely created from scratch, but it is not because the technology is not up to the mark, but because the patient's survival time This method is only used if an artificial kidney that can be transplanted must be cultivated as quickly as possible.

"Yes, at least five years ago, I couldn't believe it at all, and now we can achieve such a technology."

Lu Chen also nodded and said.

Once the operable stem cell differentiation and organ cultivation technology matures, it will represent a new era of medical biology.

Although this kind of technical means can only be completed in the laboratory at present, once the technology is mature, it can enter industrial production. Once that time comes, the mode of medical consultation may undergo subversive changes.

"Then our doctors will become like artisans at that time? No matter what organ is wrong with the patient, then there is no need to treat the disease, just replace it directly. This is the simplest."

Xu Minghang said with some worry.

"It doesn't exist, and organ replacement is not so easy. Besides, it is impossible to implement this method on a large scale. There are too many hidden dangers and problems in it."

Jiang Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"We just need to promote technological progress, and leave the rest to other departments to deal with and consider."

Zhao Xu made a concluding speech.

"This kind of worry is actually unnecessary at all. The emergence of every new technology is bound to have an impact on the old industry. Just like when Internet shopping appeared, many people were worried that once online shopping prevailed, then Employees in physical stores are bound to lose their jobs on a large scale.

But it turns out that such worries are unnecessary, because the rise of Internet shopping has also brought a lot of jobs, such as the relevant personnel of online stores, and directly led to the large-scale, leapfrog, and outbreak of the logistics industry. Without the rapid development of Internet shopping, it is impossible for the logistics industry to develop to the present level. "

"This principle is the same in the medical industry. You don't have to worry about losing your job, because once the means of organ cultivation and transplantation are mature, it means that the conventional disease field will be conquered. But there will be new problems that need us to deal with. , such as genetic diseases, genetic improvement, etc.

Zhao Xu said again.

"Yes, every time a new technology emerges, such problems will arise, but fortunately, we are leading the development of technology."

Jiang Xiaoqi continued.

Her father told her since she was a child that no matter what kind of wind blows, she must make sure that she is the one who stands in the wind.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xiaoqi has not hesitated to find a way to join the research center since its establishment.

"Although the cultivation took about two weeks less than expected, once the artificial kidney is cultivated, whether it can be stably transplanted and whether it can function normally after the transplantation, we still need to do some research on the cultivated artificial kidney. series of biological tests."

Zhao Xu said to everyone again.

If it is cultivated from scratch, it will take at least three months. For A Qiang who has been transplanted with a mechanical kidney and extended the time by three months, this time is enough.

But who can keep the kidneys that have been cultivated for three months and can function well after transplantation?

Therefore, if the patient's own kidney stent blood vessels and nerves are used, the success rate will be greatly improved.

"That is to say, if the second transplant is to be performed, it will be at least one month later."

Sun Chang said thoughtfully.

"Well, this is the shortest time after hard work in all aspects."

Zhao Xu nodded.

"This is already very good. Other research on artificially cultivated organs in the world now takes at least half a year for the cultivation of individuals, and the cultivated ones may not be well adapted to the human body. We are already ahead of the times. at the forefront."

Jiang Xiaoqi said calmly.

This is also the reason why she had to find a way to join the research center with her always indifferent temperament, and why she had to fight for the team leader after joining.

Before she was in the emergency room, or when she was studying, she didn't fight for it. That's because, whether it was the excellence in her student days, the position in the student union, or the training, advanced studies or opportunities to improve her professional title in the emergency room, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't arouse Jiang Xiaoqi's attention. interest of.

Only at the current research center, in this cultivation room, can she be interested in seeing technologies that can almost be said to lead the times.

To be able to participate in or even partially lead the research and development of this era-leading technology is such a temptation that any person who is interested in scientific research cannot refuse.

"If organs are grown in a half-mechanical, half-flesh way, will this field be able to achieve greater development? And it can also be combined with neural sensing and joining technologies."

Lu Chen suddenly said on a whim.

She thought this way because of a movie she watched recently, "Ghost in the Shell".

In this movie, the protagonist is an artificial human. The world she lives in is an era in which human organs and tissues can be artificialized on a large scale. In this era, human beings can be divided into three categories. , cyborgs and pure human beings.

A bionic person is a complete artificial person. The body organs are completely artificial, but the difference from ordinary humans is that there are some electronic components inside the body of the bionic person that control actions and brains.

Biochemical humans, that is, cyborgs, were developed for disabled soldiers and disabled people when they first appeared.

However, with the development and progress of technology, more pure human beings who pursue powerful power also choose to replace part of their bodies with mechanical organs.In this way, the functions of the body can greatly surpass ordinary humans and become artificial superhumans.

"Think about it, in fact, the advantages of machinery are great. If it is a machine, it has components. As long as it is damaged, these components are easy to replace. For example, bones, joints and even muscles carry most of the weight of the human body. And mechanical organs, if they are manufactured mechanically, are more durable than the human body itself."

Lu Chen said again.

"Your idea is nothing new. Now artificial replacement joints, such as titanium alloy bones and joints, are not uncommon."

Seeing Lu Chen talking out of the blue, Su Xiao couldn't help complaining.

"You don't have to think about it suddenly. Our purpose as doctors is to cure diseases and save people, not to study something that can make human beings superhuman."

Hearing Lu Chen's whim, Zhao Xu couldn't help but said helplessly.

On the surface, Lu Chen looks like a cold, beautiful woman and a goddess, but in fact she has a lot of ideas, and her thinking is broad and active, especially new things, which she is very interested in.

Moreover, when the system gave him the technology of growing organs and tissues from stem cells, it had already warned that this technology should be used with caution, especially when combined with nerve junction and brain-computer sensing technology.

Because once the two are combined, it is possible to make human society move towards a completely different look.

This is no small matter.

However, perhaps in this world, someone is already trying such a technology.

Zhao Xu couldn't control what other people did, but for himself, he couldn't speed up the progress of such technology.

Although in terms of short-term benefits, semi-mechanized or completely artificial is very conducive to achieving some previously unattainable goals.

But in the long run, doing so will subvert the existing social structure and ethical order of mankind. Once this opening is opened, no one will know what will happen in the future.

In Zhao Xu's view, life is precious and cannot be desecrated casually.

"Doctor Xu, you are the team leader this week. All affairs in the team must be tightened up. Time waits for no one."

After talking about technology, Zhao Xu said to Xu Minghang again.

Xu Minghang, Jiang Xiaoqi, Su Xiao, and Lu Chen each act as team leaders for a week, which was decided at the morning meeting.

Although there are only four people in this group now, everyone knows that according to Zhao Xu's vision, all four people will be trained towards the direction of the team leader, and they will lead their own teams in the future, so the team leader who is born among the four, In fact, he is the supervisor of all the groups in the future.

"Ok, I know."

Xu Minghang nodded, he is a very serious person.

Moreover, the reason why he didn't compete for the team leader among these four people was because he knew that as long as he followed the steps, when the research center expanded in the future, he could also lead a team naturally.

"That's how it is. There is still one month left for another transplant. During this month, we still have other patients to deal with. The Ministry and the hospital have already sent many patients over. Next, we It's about to get busy."

Zhao Xu said slowly to everyone.

Now the reputation of the research center can be said to have spread completely, and the patients who want to see a doctor at the research center have been ranked several years later.

However, what Zhao Xu thought was to regard the research center as a place for technology pilots and breakthroughs, while what Zhang Huaiyi and the dean told Zhao Xu before was to regard the research center as a national top talent training base.

There is no conflict between scientific research, technology development and talent cultivation, but Zhao Xu will be busier in the future.

And the few people in the group now will become mentors in cultivating talents in the future.

"Well, the hospital has already said that the trainees from major hospitals will arrive in the next few days."

Sun Chang continued.

She knew that Zhao Xu wanted to take it slowly, but the situation was unstoppable now. The few patients cured by the research center were almost terminally ill, so they became famous all of a sudden, as if standing in the era The research center with the most cutting-edge technology has suddenly become the place where major hospitals across the country want to learn the truth.

"So fast?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised and said, it seems that all the major hospitals are moving after hearing the news.

"This is normal. Now is the era of technological leadership. No one wants to lag behind in the latest technology."

Jiang Xiaoqi said calmly.

"Wouldn't it be a little bad if this core technology was quickly learned by colleagues from other big hospitals?"

Xu Minghang frowned and said.

As soon as these words came out, all eyes turned to him.

"Of course it is necessary to share new medical technologies. I mean, let's talk about whether we can keep us ahead for a while."

Seeing the way everyone looked at him, Xu Minghang couldn't help explaining.

"There is no need for this. Everyone must have such confidence that the technology we have mastered will be the most advanced no matter what time it is."

Hearing Xu Minghang's words, Zhao Xu smiled and said.

When it comes to technology, Zhao Xu is confident.

Infected by Zhao Xu's words, everyone in the group was also very excited.

The reason why everyone becomes a doctor is to cure diseases and save lives on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is also for the good treatment and social status of doctors.

And now, at the research center, it's all happening faster than anyone could have imagined.

In other hospitals, the qualifications of being a cow and a horse are hard to endure, but in the research center, it does not exist at all.

"All the elites from major hospitals are here, so everyone should keep their spirits up."

Zhao Xu said again.

After speaking, Zhao Xu and everyone went back to their offices.

Back in the office and sitting on a chair, Zhao Xu began to think.

Zhao Xu only found out about this recently, but I'm afraid the dean and Zhang Huaiyi have already planned it.

They thought a lot more than Zhao Xu.

However, it is also a good thing to learn and disseminate the latest technologies for curing diseases and saving lives.

At least for Zhao Xu, he did not hesitate to share such technology.

Moreover, the system has been silent for a long time recently. No matter what kind of patients are being cured, the system has not moved recently.

This made Zhao Xu couldn't help thinking that maybe he had to do something more influential to trigger the system's card-drawing mechanism.

Although it was a system, Zhao Xu felt that the system seemed illogical.

After giving Zhao Xu several card draws, key skills, and talents, the system became silent.

It's not so much a system, it's more like an alternative master house that only serves Zhao Xu alone.

[The host's idea is correct, if you want to trigger the card drawing mechanism again, you have to do something more influential]

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking this way, the voice of the system appeared in Zhao Xu's mind again.

[If you don't speak, I thought you were untied or something. . 】

Hearing the voice of the system in his head, Zhao Xu couldn't help complaining.

[The system is comprehensively analyzing the information of this world, and it took some time.In the future, the card-drawing mechanism of the host will be changed to influence, as long as it reaches a certain level of influence, it will be able to draw cards after a systematic evaluation]

【Influence? 】

Zhao Xu asked a little strangely.

[Yes, according to the influence of what the host does, you can draw cards related to what the host does]

【In other words, it is what I do that determines what kind of cards I can draw? 】

Zhao Xu asked again.

【Yes, there is a saying in this world that if you sow beans, you will reap beans, and if you sow melons, you will reap melons. This is how the system will draw cards after the system update】

Hearing the system's words, Zhao Xu fell into deep thought again.
