Chapter 345 The Most Sci-Fi Thing (Part )
"Leek~~Box~~"

A white man spoke in stiff Mandarin.

"Don't worry about it, you'll know when you get there." Fan Dongkai held his hand and called an online taxi.

He didn't tell Yuan Xiaoli that he came back this time.

Because Luo Hao disappeared from Johns Hopkins, and there was news at the time that a Chinese man was hit and killed by a dump truck, Fan Dongkai roughly guessed what had happened.

He hesitated for only a few days before immediately starting to handle various formalities and preparing to return home directly.

Although changing nationality is unlikely, and although Fan Dongkai is a tenured professor, he is just a tenured professor. He has some fame in the medical circle, but it is not enough to change back to Chinese nationality.

But the boss stopped him and asked Fan Dongkai to think about it more.

He thought that Fan Dongkai's idea of ​​going through the resignation procedures and preparing to return to China was too impulsive. Although the boss did not want to interfere with Fan Dongkai's decision, he just wanted Fan Dongkai not to make an impulsive decision.

Especially this kind of choice involves the second half of life.

Fan Dongkai agreed to his boss's request, but he still made a decision in his heart.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a few months late, but I must go back.

In the past five years, more and more Chinese have been killed by dump trucks; some were shot in the back and ruled as suicide; some suffered mental illness and committed suicide by swallowing rape; or some disappeared inexplicably without even a ridiculous reason.

When facing strangers, Fan Dongkai can pretend to be an ostrich and bury his head.

But that was Luo Hao! He was the guy who had undergone surgery with Fan Dongkai and had eaten leek dumplings.

Just like that? Fan Dongkai was about to go and watch Luo Hao's demonstration surgery, but he got this news instead.

A lot of things happened later. The Baltimore Bridge collapsed, and Luo Hao appeared again, having returned to the provincial capital.

Fan Dongkai didn't think there was any connection, but he was tired of living in a world where he could die at any time and anywhere.

Back home!

Return home!!
In fact, there is one thing that annoys Fan Dongkai the most - there are Indians everywhere around him in the middle management of the hospital.

It doesn’t matter if there are one or two of them. They are not devils and they will not be vicious to you.

But as more and more Indians came, they began to form cliques.

It was like someone had thrown a bomb into a cesspool, blowing up old shit and sending countless maggots flying everywhere.

Those so-called "elites" in India are just these maggots, so disgusting.

Of course, this was just Fan Dongkai's secret criticism. He knew the real situation very well - the Chinese were too scattered and could not compete with the Indians at all.

In addition, there is a transparent ceiling for Chinese people, and there is no hope of advancement.

All these factors combined prompted Fan Dongkai to want to return to China.

However, since the boss had given his advice, Fan Dongkai decided to respect his boss and not go through the formalities first but return to China to take a look.

Returning with Fan Dongkai was one of his friends, Dr. Jason.

He had watched Luo Hao's surgical videos and knew about the "miracle" of the Phase 4 clinical trial in India. He was shocked by Luo Hao's surgery, so when the meeting started, he went to Johns Hopkins early in the morning to wait for Luo Hao to perform a demonstration operation.

But to his disappointment, Luo Hao did not show up at all, and there were some rumors afterwards.

It just so happened that Dr. Jason had a strong interest in Luo Hao. When he heard that Fan Dongkai had returned to China, he went with him to see the legendary Professor Luo.

In Fan Dongkai's words, Luo Hao has become an omnipotent and powerful magician.

"Fan, does Professor Luo really not accept speaking English?" asked Dr. Jason.

His Chinese level was OK, after several months of intensive study, and with Dr. Jason's talent for languages, he was able to communicate.

"I heard from my junior fellow student that a doctor was scolded and returned home."

"Oh my god, this is hard to believe."

An online-hailing car drove up, and Dr. Jason's pupils contracted greatly as the car got closer.

There was no driver in the car!

The driver's seat was empty, as if the car was driven by a ghost, and the whole thing looked like a horror movie.

"Fan, Fan, Fan..."

"What's wrong?" Fan Dongkai didn't notice that his mind was full of leeks.

The taste of the chive dumplings he ate last time he returned to China seemed to still linger in his mouth; he could taste it just by smacking his lips.

There are also egg cakes, pickles, and...

Countless kinds of breakfast have filled Fan Dongkai's mind, and he can't wait to fly to the breakfast shop.

"Fan!" Dr. Jason grabbed Fan Dongkai's arm and pointed to the driver's seat.

Fan Dongkai was stunned, and then he realized that this was an unmanned taxi.

Yuan Xiaoli suggested that he install the app, and Fan Dongkai ignored this point because all he was thinking about was breakfast.

"Country bumpkin." Fan Dongkai pretended to be calm, entered the password and opened the car door.

"Oh my God, it's like a science fiction world!" Dr. Jason exclaimed.

Fan Dongkai was also a little tricky, but with his eyebrows in a √ shape, he said calmly, "There was an unmanned vehicle in Miami some time ago. Have you heard about it?"

"I heard that the driver was forced to stop by the police, but he failed to make the judgment and crashed into the car, resulting in the death of one police officer and another injured."

"Among all application scenarios, only China can take all-weather measures into consideration." Fan Dongkai said something he didn't quite understand, and began to study how to get to the destination.

Fortunately, the operating system is extremely simple and does not confuse first-time users.

The electronic sound coming from the car's speaker told Fan Dongkai and Dr. Jason to fasten their seat belts. The steering wheel began to turn automatically and the driverless taxi started slowly.

"Oh my god! It's amazing."

"You've said 'Oh my God' too many times today," Fan Dongkai reminded.

"Fan, Fan, will it really not crash? Can it really judge various road conditions?"

"It seems to be OK. It is said that people won't ride it when they are in a hurry. It drives very slowly and only follows traffic regulations and procedures."

"!!!"

Dr. Jason stopped talking. He stared with wide eyes, like a curious baby, at the steering wheel that kept turning by itself, watching the driverless taxi leave the airport, pass the toll booth, and drive onto the airport highway.

"Fan, it actually overtook the car!" Dr. Jason grabbed Fan Dongkai's arm and shook it like Liu Laolao.

"Be careful. If you move too much, the ejection device under your butt will explode. With a bang, you will be launched into the sky and your butt will be blown to pieces."

"!!!"

"Because the machine will determine that there is a car accident, in order to protect the safety of the passengers, it will eject you into the air, just like the escape device of an airplane pilot."

"..." Doctor Jason was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Really?"

"Of course I was lying to you." Fan Dongkai was very happy.

"I heard that many high-tech companies' AIs are backed by damn Indians. They are not artificial intelligence at all, but just maggot-like Indians."

Dr. Jason was also hostile to the Indians who formed cliques and occupied ecological niches, and he did not hide it at all, unlike Fan Dongkai who concealed his thoughts implicitly.

After all, the two people have different skin colors, so even if they say the same thing, the consequences will be different.

"We also have people on our side, and sometimes we need to handle it manually, but we won't have one person per car monitoring in the background."

Fan Dongkai knew a little about this, but not much.

He also watched the movements of the driverless taxi with curiosity.

The driving of taxis is a bit stereotyped. It is indeed built according to traffic regulations. It is very disciplined and even more novice than a novice.

Especially when passing through a crosswalk, the driverless taxi will slow down in advance, while other drivers will step on the accelerator and rush past when they see that there is no one there.

There are many similar scenes, just like there is a driver with a very good temper sitting in the driving seat, he drives slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry at all.

"What is this?" Dr. Jason asked, pointing at the LCD screen in front of him.

"Let me take a look. I don't understand either." Fan Dongkai began to flip the LCD screen.

There were no movies, only songs. Fan Dongkai found a familiar song and started playing it.

The singing echoed in the car, and Dr. Jason's face turned a little red, looking excited.

Everything here is so new.

From the moment he got off the plane, Dr. Jason kept asking questions like a curious baby.

There were no troubles at all. The driverless taxis were countless times more stable than the taxi drivers in Fan Dongkai's memory.

There is no forced overtaking and no speeding. It just drives slowly to its destination like a polite guy.

It is slow, but safe.

After being notified by the machine voice, Fan Dongkai and Dr. Jason got out of the car.

The driverless taxi started to take orders, leaving the two people stunned.

"What on earth is this sci-fi feeling? Damn, I really want to stand in front of it and kick its nose hard to see if it will dodge."

"I even felt like it could stand up in the next second, like Optimus Prime."

"Fan, is this China? Are you taking me across time? It's just like what's written in your novels. Is this your most advanced place?"

Dr. Jason croaked.

"You're not surprised by anything. Jiangbei Province is one of the least developed provinces in the country." Fan Dongkai pretended to be calm and said with disdain.

"Please don't say compressed package. The amount of information is too large and my brain will crash." Dr. Jason emphasized.

"Let's go, let's eat."

Fan Dongkai took Dr. Jason into the breakfast shop.

It was past working hours and there were not many customers in the breakfast shop.

"Om~~~"

With a buzzing sound, an automatic walking robot appeared in front of him.

Fan Dongkai was stunned. This thing didn't exist when he came here last time.

Are robots being used in even breakfast shops?!
Dr. Jason was startled and stumbled backwards, bumping into the door.

"Hello, welcome, here are our tableware..." The robot began to introduce the tableware and "instigated" Fan Dongkai to put the plates on the tray above its head.

It was a fool-proof operation. After getting through the initial period of confusion, Fan Dongkai followed the process.

The robot followed Fan Dongkai and carried all the things. Fan Dongkai didn't have to carry a lot of things and go back and forth several times like he did last time.

"You you you~~~"

The chef, wearing a mask and a hat, pointed at Fan Dongkai and said in surprise.

Fan Dongkai knows that his eyebrows are almost a personal label and are very easy to identify.

He said with a smile, "Last time, you treated me to leek dumplings. Now I'm back again and brought my friends with me."

Fan Dongkai pulled Dr. Jason to his side to "show off" his friend.

After chatting with the chef for a few minutes, Fan Dongkai finally felt the atmosphere of everyday life.

To be honest, AI is really good, it feels sci-fi and futuristic enough, but it is far from the everyday atmosphere of the provincial capital in my memories.

Without the chattering, cigarette-smelling taxi drivers telling all kinds of gossip, and without speeding on the road, Fan Dongkai always felt that something was missing.

It seems like I’m missing some memories of my childhood.

After chatting with the chef for a while, he came to the dining table with the robot, still unsatisfied.

Maybe the chef will no longer be in the breakfast shop in a few years, Fan Dongkai thought.

After taking the item down, a QR code appeared on the robot's screen. Fan Dongkai scanned it, paid, and the robot thanked him and left.

"Fan, you use a large number of robots. What about employment?" asked Dr. Jason.

"When the spinning jenny came out, didn't a lot of people smash the machine? But it turns out that there are more jobs."

"Will doctors be replaced?" Dr. Jason suddenly asked.

Fan Dongkai was stunned and a little confused. Maybe, maybe doctors will be replaced in the near future.

who cares!
The tide of the times rolls by, and it cannot be influenced by a tiny individual.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about whether doctors will be unemployed now. As for the future, who can predict it?

The meal was delicious, and Dr. Jason also accepted the breakfast in the provincial capital in a short time and praised it highly.

Fan Dongkai contacted Yuan Xiaoli while eating, but Yuan Xiaoli didn't reply until after the meal, saying that he was performing surgery with Luo Hao.

"Are you tired, Dr. Jason?" asked Fan Dongkai.

"It's fine, damn the jet lag, I should be home drinking whiskey right now."

"Then let's go to the hospital, Professor Luo is going to have surgery!" Fan Dongkai urged.

Dr. Jason suddenly became energetic. He came to China just to watch Professor Luo perform surgery, and he just happened to catch his surgery day!
Then there is no reason not to go.

Come to the hospital.

This time, Fan Dongkai failed to call a driverless taxi and could only take a normal online car-hailing service.

It seems that driverless taxis are not yet widely used in China.

But come to think of it, there were no robots when I came back last time, but now even breakfast shops are equipped with robots to operate and collect payments.

It always takes time, maybe in 3-5 years there will be a big change.

When I arrived at the door of the interventional catheterization room, an honest and kind middle-aged man waved at me from afar.

It’s Meng Liangren.

Fan Dongkai stretched out his hand, shook hands with Meng Liangren, said hello, and introduced Dr. Jason.

"Yuan Xiaoli and Professor Luo are in the same medical team?" Fan Dongkai immediately asked the question in his mind.

"No, there was a minor problem with the newly purchased catheter in the hospital, so the surgery was handed over to Professor Luo."

“!!!” Fan Dongkai was stunned.

"Professor Fan, Doctor Jason, let's go change our clothes first." Meng Liangren said politely.

Dr. Jason followed Meng Liangren into the locker room.

His expectant look finally relaxed. The locker room here was a little simple, with no automation and no AI processing. It looked even worse than his own Johns Hopkins University.

Unconsciously, Dr. Jason has been shocked by the science fiction world outside, and subconsciously thinks that the First Hospital of Medical University will also be very sci-fi, which will greatly shock him.

Is this right? This is consistent with our understanding. Dr. Jason began to change his clothes.

"Old Meng, what's going on? Are Yuan Xiaoli and Professor Luo in the same group?" Fan Dongkai asked.

"No, we only have one new member in our medical team, a female doctor." Meng Liangren introduced, "As for the surgery, the catheters purchased recently are not very useful, so Professor Luo is doing the surgery, and Director Yuan strongly requested to use a catheter."

Strong request?

Fan Dongkai was a little confused that surgery was so strongly requested.

He omitted the word bad.

How bad can it be?

"Fan, why doesn't the hospital feel like a sci-fi futuristic place?" Dr. Jason asked.

"The hospital has to wait until all the technologies are more mature before they can be applied. Otherwise, what do you think we will do if the situation in Miami occurs again?" Fan Dongkai said nonsense.

He doesn't understand either.

The country is changing with each passing day, and Fan Dongkai is a little confused.

When they arrived at the operating room, Fan Dongkai saw through the leaded glass that Luo Hao and Yuan Xiaoli were performing surgery inside. He patted technician No. 66's shoulder vigorously.

"Old Six, have you tried the Telegram group?"

"Teacher Fan!" Technician No. 66 was pleasantly surprised, and he smelled a similar scent. "I've tried it, and it works great!"

"Hahaha, that's good. I thought there were not many people using Telegram groups in the provincial capital, but I didn't expect to find like-minded people."

Technician No. 66 was very interested and wanted to say something, but Fan Dongkai was already staring at the computer screen intently.

A few minutes later, Fan Dongkai curled his lips and raised his eyebrows.

The operation looked normal, proceeding step by step in an orderly manner, even slower than in India.

It looked more like a teaching operation.

Professor Luo Haoluo took the new doctor and taught him how to perform the operation step by step.

Fan Dongkai looked carefully at the person inside and it was Yuan Xiaoli.

A sense of absurdity lingered in Fan Dongkai's heart.

Even though Fan Dongkai thought that Yuan Xiaoli's level was just so-so, this "simple" operation was easy for Yuan Xiaoli.

There is no difficulty at all.

But on the leaded glass side, Yuan Xiaoli could only be an assistant.

That’s strange, what’s going on?

As the surgery was explained step by step, Dr. Jason wondered, "Fan, why didn't I feel the beauty of the surgery video when I watched it?"

Fan Dongkai shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

The airtight lead door was kicked open by Luo Hao. He was fully dressed in a full set of lead clothing.

Seeing Fan Dongkai, Luo Hao strode up to him and gave him a big hug.

Fan Dongkai felt a little pain from the lead vest.

"Old Fan, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" Luo Hao asked enthusiastically.

Fan Dongkai briefly explained that he had found a job in the imperial capital and would go to the imperial capital when he returned home.

Luo Hao was not surprised, he just responded with a smile.

"Professor Luo, this is Dr. Jason." Fan Dongkai introduced Dr. Jason.

Dr. Jason has an impressive resume, but how impressive it is depends on who you compare it with.

Compared with Luo Hao, it's just so-so.

Sure enough, Luo Hao's attitude was kind, gentle and polite, and he took care of Dr. Jason.

Although he was polite, Luo Hao did not hide his unfamiliarity with Dr. Jason.

"Professor Luo, I'll go with you to perform the operation." Fan Dongkai volunteered.

"Okay." Luo Hao didn't care.

With Fan Dongkai around, Yuan Xiaoli wouldn't rush to learn.

It was extremely difficult for Luo Hao to operate this broken catheter, let alone how to teach Yuan Xiao how to use it.

The patient was carried down, Yuan Xiaoli performed compressions and greeted Fan Dongkai happily, but Fan Dongkai ignored him and started to make preoperative preparations.

It has been a long time since I last performed surgery with Luo Hao, and Fan Dongkai was eager to try it.

And he had a lot of questions.

Opening.

"Professor Luo, can I try?" Fan Dongkai asked tentatively.

After all, without this medical certificate, it would be strictly illegal for Fan Dongkai to perform surgery.

Now he can only consider himself as an intern.

"Try it, don't force it."

Reluctantly? Fan Dongkai frowned, his straight eyebrows twisted into knots.

Could it be that Luo Hao is conducting experiments on future technology?
Fan Dongkai, who was shocked by the driverless taxis and robots in the breakfast shop, felt confused.

Luo Hao moved closer to the patient's head and started chatting with him.

"This is Professor Fan from the United States, here to guide our work," Luo Hao introduced.

Guidance work...

Fan Dongkai was speechless.

Twisting the catheter, Fan Dongkai immediately knew there was a problem.

The catheter in my hand had no elasticity at all and was soft and floppy, as if it had no bones.

What the hell!
"Professor Luo, have you reached the point where your technical level has reached the limit of improvement and have you started challenging yourself?" Fan Dongkai asked in a hoarse voice.

Luo Hao sighed.

I don’t want to either.

It's because this is the only tube I have that can be used.

Fan Dongkai tried it, but the catheter was totally out of control in the femoral artery and was too limp to use.

The surgery took on a different form and became more difficult.

Damn it! Fan Dongkai cursed in his heart.

But Luo Hao did not explain, and Fan Dongkai also knew that the patient was under local anesthesia and could not say much.

He held back and didn't ask, acting as an assistant like Yuan Xiaoli, watching the catheter that was completely unusable in his hands being controlled by Luo Hao and completing the operation bit by bit.

There were even a few more difficult points, which were completed by Luo Hao in one go.

This……

Fan Dongkai was completely dumbfounded.

He used to think that Luo Hao's surgery was just fast, fast and steady, and that was all.

But now it seems that Luo Hao is like a top student. I can score 98 points on an answer sheet, while Luo Hao can score 100 points. It is not that the gap between me and Luo Hao is only 2 points, but that the paper is only worth 100 points.

If Professor Luo Haoluo can operate this broken catheter, what else can't he do? !

Science fiction!

Compared with the driverless taxis outside and the robots in the breakfast shop, Fan Dongkai felt that Luo Hao's ability to use that kind of catheter to perform surgery was the most sci-fi.

The operation was carried out step by step, from beginning to end, without any incidents, ordinary and normal.

Yuan Xiaoli came up and pressed, but no matter what he said to Fan Dongkai, Fan Dongkai remained silent.

After thinking for a long time, Fan Dongkai came out of the operating room and asked in a low voice, "Professor Luo, is there any position left for me in the medical team now?"

"Ah?" Luo Hao didn't hear clearly.

"I've been thinking about returning to China recently, but I haven't contacted a specific hospital yet. Professor Luo, I'm a member of your medical team. I'm Lao Fan!"

"..."

Luo Hao got himself into trouble and was blackmailed by Fan Dongkai.

"Old Fan, that's not the case."
