White armor

Chapter 377 I'll go take a look on behalf of the Academy of Engineering

"Hey." Qin Chen stroked his slicked-back hair, "I just said that. Dr. Xiao Luo and I have a very good relationship. I was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously?"

Boss Chai was just making a gesture, so Qin Chen immediately asked, "Boss Chai, what's the matter? Dr. Xiao Luo has a quick mind and his skills are improving quickly."

He asked intermittently, but Boss Chai had a stern face and said nothing.

The more this happened, the more curious Qin Chen became. He licked his face and asked, "Boss Chai, what's going on?"

"Luo Hao wants to penetrate the metastatic tumor behind the pancreatic head."

"Oh, particle implantation, then..." Qin Chen said a few words casually, and was immediately stunned, "Behind the pancreatic head? It must first pass through the stomach, and then through the artery and vein? Isn't that the task that the old man left for Luo Hao? It's started so soon?"

"The tumor was completely blocked by the pancreatic head, with no angles."

"Fuck!" Qin Chen cursed the national quintessence, and he realized what Mr. Chai was talking about.

No wonder Boss Chai looked so serious. Luo Hao actually wanted to do such an impossible task!

"Boss Chai, what does Luo Hao want to do? Put the Da Vinci robot's robotic arm down there?" Qin Chen thought of a solution and asked in a low voice.

Boss Chai glanced at Qin Chen and didn't answer.

Although Qin Chen is usually very arrogant, he knows the difference between people. In front of Boss Chai, he is as obedient and docile as a little white rabbit with a slicked-back hair.

Even if Boss Chai didn't say anything, he wouldn't chase him away. Qin Chen knew that and followed Boss Chai out of the elevator.

Arriving at the hepatobiliary surgery department and entering Director Qian's office, Qin Chen tried his best to make himself invisible and listened attentively to what Boss Chai and Director Qian said.

"There is a patient with advanced cancer over there in Luo Hao's place. He said he had communicated with you?" Boss Chai was sitting on a chair, and the two directors were walking one after the other like interns.

"Yes, boss. Dr. Luo told me that it was a student at the medical university with late-stage cancer. The disease was originally well controlled, and the bone metastasis had shrunk and no longer caused pain. But the most recent checkup found a metastasis in the head of the pancreas, about 1.3 cm."

Director Qian reported everything in detail.

Qin Chen was dumbfounded.

The cancer has already metastasized to the bones in its late stages. What else can we do? Let the patient go home and eat whatever she likes. Just let her suffer less in the terminal stage. Does Xiao Luohao really want to cure her?
"Dr. Luo contacted me and asked if I could perform the surgery. I thought I could and planned to keep a bed for him."

"Xiao Luohao just told me that the treatment method has changed." Old Chai's expression was flat and his emotions could not be seen.

Director Qian immediately shut up and listened attentively.

“He contacted the University of Technology and used liquid metal to deliver particles to the location of the metastasis.”

The fewer words, the bigger the matter.

Liquid metal?
Director Qian thought about it for a long time but still had no idea what it was.

"The operation still needs approval. After all, it's a new technology. Otherwise, it will be non-compliant. What nonsense! What are you doing! There's no urgency to use new technology! You even put a fucking time limit on me!" Boss Chai got angry and grabbed a stack of papers in front of him and threw them out.

Qin Chen lowered his head, and even his slicked-back hair lost its luster.

He had never seen Mr. Chai, who was retired and enjoyed fishing every day, get so angry.

Boss Chai even started swearing.

The old directors of the hospital said that Boss Chai had a bad temper when he was young and middle-aged. But the Boss Chai that Qin Chen had seen had never been irritable and was always smiling.

Today we can see Boss Chai's violent temper when he was young.

A few minutes later, Boss Chai finally took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

As we age, anger can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and can also make blood pressure difficult to control.

Boss Chai understood all these, but he was still angry.

Is this how scientific research is done? How many years does it take from project establishment to animal experiment? Doesn't Xiao Luohao know? !
Why does he have to force me to get him a license so that he can perform this operation?

Although Boss Chai knew what Xiao Luohao was thinking, it did not stop him from scolding Luo Hao.

"Boss, calm down, calm down. Where are the documents? I'll get them. Where do you think we should send the project for approval?" Director Qian knew his boss too well. Even if he scolded him, he still had to get things done.

"If he says it's up to you, then it's up to you."

“???” Director Qian was stunned, then smiled but said nothing.

"Xiao Luohao said he made a rendering these days and sent it to you. Open it and take a look."

"Okay, boss." Director Qian took out a laptop from the cabinet, opened his mailbox, and saw the email sent to him by Luo Hao.

Download the video, the video is not long, about 1 minute.

Qin Chen's eyes were dry from watching, but he didn't even blink.

Luo Hao is unreliable? Others believe it, but Qin Chen doesn't believe it at all.

I originally thought that this guy had no future. Under the pressure from many bosses, he chose to escape and went directly back to his hometown, which was considered to be giving up on himself.

But two years later, Luo Hao reappeared in his sight. Far from being in vain, he seemed to be surpassing himself.

As for things like liquid metal, Qin Chen didn't understand, but he understood Luo Hao.

Qin Chen moved over, stood behind Boss Chai, and looked at the computer screen carefully.

Boss Chai clicks start.

The exquisite animation makes it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

"Huh?" Boss Chai was startled and clicked pause.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Why does it look so similar to the documentary made by a girl? Is it a movie-level animation?"

"I feel it's a little inferior to the movie level, and there's no need to spend so much money." Director Qian pondered, "Maybe Chang Song of Tiangong has worked with Xiao Luo a lot, so he knows what he wants and it's easy to communicate."

"Could it be that Luo Hao prepared those things for today?" Old Chai pondered.

A few seconds later, Mr. Chai clicked play.

There was a black "water drop" in the sterile container. Qin Chen felt strange that he would use the word "block" to describe the "water drop".

But this description is very apt and perfect.

The surrounding instruments lit up and a humming sound could be faintly heard, similar to the sound of a magnetic resonance coil turning.

The drop then began to move on its own, and a shiny, hollow needle appeared.

The disinfection process flashed by in a flash, and then a hand with slender fingers picked up the needle and loaded the particles into it with tweezers.

Due to limited time, I just expressed a concept and then went to the operating room.

"Will this work? Isn't this a science fiction movie?" Director Qian murmured.

The deformable metal is deformed by the magnetic force and becomes a needle.

This is not medical treatment, this is the Monkey King’s 72 transformations!
"Click~"

Boss Chai clicked the pause button. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to watch the whole process. Instead, he looked at the needle and began to ponder.

"Boss, I seem to have heard of this project. It's a project that Gongda and Fuwai are working on."

"A project on using liquid metal robots to remove blood clots in blood vessels?" Qin Chen asked.

"should be."

"That project is still unsuccessful, and the animal experiments will only last for three phases at most."

Boss Chai did not comment and clicked Continue.

This segment is pure animation. In the operating room, a sterile sheet has been laid out and a doctor in surgical gown is standing in the operating position, looking calm and composed.

The animation is very well done and you can recognize that the person is Luo Hao at first glance.

The modeling alone is not easy!
And from this detail, it is revealed that Tiangong actually has Luo Hao's modeling. Don't think too much about what will happen next, or you will get a headache.

CT scan, Luo Hao looked at the CT image opposite, and then started inserting the needle.

Another scan showed that the puncture needle had passed through the stomach and penetrated the narrow gap between the duodenal artery and vein, stopping right next to the tumor.

Just this one move alone was enough to make people who could understand it applaud in amazement, as the artist's technique was extremely precise.

Cattle!
But neither Boss Chai, Director Qian, nor Qin Chen cared about this.

Luo Hao can do it, isn't that what he should do?

What’s next?

The picture penetrates the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and the virtual cyberpunk style overflows.

The picture focuses on the needle.

The tip of the needle is cold and sharp.

In the next frame, the puncture needle begins to deform.

Transformed?

Transform!

It began to deform with a full sense of science fiction.

The sharp needle tip and the needle body "dissolve" and spread rapidly.

This is different from what Mr. Chai and Director Qian think.

In their previous imagination, the needle tip should twist and pierce the tumor, leaving radioactive particles.

But in the animation, the puncture needle turned into semi-liquid under the influence of the magnetic field and began to spread and wrap around the tumor.

This process happens in a flash.

Then the liquid metal turned into a needle again, and the liquid metal that did not perform the wrapping action also changed, turning into a sleeve to retract the puncture needle.

Even considering avoiding crop transfer?
Boss Chai stared at the scene in a daze.

The trocar was then removed and the operation was declared over.

The whole process took less than 1 minute, which was incredibly fast.

Even though it was just a promotional animation, some steps were definitely shortened, but the shock brought by this animation made the three people present silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Director Qian murmured, "Boss, this is impossible."

"How is it impossible? What do you want to say?"

"..." Director Qian couldn't describe his feelings at all, nor did he know how to describe them in detail.

"Isn't this the liquid metal robot from Terminator 2 when I was a kid? Is Luo Hao serious or just making it up?" Qin Chen added.

But Luo Hao and the others all knew who he was.

But the scene before our eyes is indeed hard to believe.

The liquid metal robot from the future in Terminator 2 was the nightmare of many teenagers. No one would have thought that the unkillable villain would appear in such a form.

It is no longer a weapon for killing people, but a treasure for saving lives, it is the golden cudgel in the hands of Sun Wukong.

"Boss, let me call Xiao Luohao to ask about the situation." Director Qian said, took out his cell phone and walked out of the office.

"Director Qin, what do you think?" asked Mr. Chai slowly.

"I don't think it's likely." Qin Chen expressed his thoughts very clearly, even though this project was initiated by Luo Hao.

"why?"

"..." Qin Chen just remained silent when faced with Mr. Chai's question - why?

why?
Just such a seemingly normal question alone proves what Boss Chai is thinking.

From the perspective of protecting his protégé, Mr. Chai was determined to continue Luo Hao's project no matter how much trouble it took.

"I think it's quite interesting." Mr. Chai calmed down and looked at the last frame of the picture on the screen.

"Mr. Chai, what do you think?" Qin Chen didn't want to cause trouble, so he approached Boss Chai and asked in a flattering manner.

"How can I see? With my eyes."

"..."

After a few seconds, Mr. Chai said slowly, "The most wrong thing I have ever done in my life was the use of laparoscopy."

"In the 1980s, Director Lang began to try laparoscopic surgery. I went to see him at the time and felt that the surgery was too slow and that consumables were simply used for the sake of using consumables."

"Foreign exchange was very valuable at the time, and I looked down on laparoscopy. I felt that each country had its own conditions. This technology might be useful, but it was definitely not suitable for domestic conditions. If the operation was done very well, the wound would not necessarily be larger than that of laparoscopy, and the damage would not necessarily be greater."

At this point, Qin Chen already knew the final outcome.

"You know what happened later. Because of my presence, the promotion of laparoscopy in China was affected. It was not until the old directors retired one after another that laparoscopy was widely used. Of course, it was also related to the country's accession to the WTO and gradual wealth."

Old Chai thought about it, stretched out his right hand, and waved his five fingers in front of Qin Chen's eyes.

"Five years, at least five years!"

“Since then, I have been in awe of new technologies.

The Da Vinci machine is so expensive, but I didn't stop Xiao Qian from getting it. Now the Whipple operation can be done in two hours with Xiao Qian, and it has been five years, and no patient is sent to the ICU. On the first day after the operation, the patient has to walk and do rehabilitation training. "

"It's a bit expensive to start up, but can domestic products replace it in the future? Don't you think so?"

Qin Chen frowned and subconsciously raised his hand to smooth his slicked-back hair.

"What the Little Conch has done may seem incredible, but I won't comment on it."

"He wants to do it, I help him."

"Whether it succeeds or fails depends on the ability of the Little Conch."

Qin Chen felt a little confused. Boss Chai must have decided to help Luo Hao a long time ago, but why did he curse before watching the video?

Is there something in the video that I didn't notice?

"Mr. Chai, I want to watch it again."

"Look." Old Chai lay back and sat in Director Qian's chair, feeling somewhat relaxed.

Qin Chen watched the video again, but still couldn't see the point.

"Mr. Chai, please explain it to me. I don't understand." Qin Chen told the truth.

"I don't understand it either, but I just think it's amazing. Based on my understanding of Xiao Luohao, he won't lie so brazenly. If he has to lie, it would be the project fund. Why would he lie to an old man like me? What do you think?" Old Chai said slowly.

In a word, Qin Chen's slicked-back hair seemed a little duller.

What is this?

If you don't understand, you should support Luo Hao's nonsense? Although scientific research must have a certain personality, it does not mean that we should be as unreliable and nonsense as Luo Hao.

The door opened and Director Qian walked in with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Chai.

"Dr. Xiao Luo said that he is currently working on a model. You can see it with your own eyes."

"Are you so confident?" Mr. Chai murmured.

"Boss, I think it's too sci-fi. In the past, I could understand both the laparoscope and the Da Vinci robot, and the rest was just the operation. But this time, what Dr. Luo brought out is beyond my comprehension."

"Yes." Chai Lao nodded. "You go and apply for the project for him. Two days before the operation, I will go to Xiao Luohao. I will represent... represent the Academy of Engineering."

"!!!"

"!!!"

Director Qian and Qin Chen were both stunned.

Representing the Academy of Engineering?!

Boss Chai is the vice president of the Academy of Engineering and is indeed qualified to represent the Academy of Engineering.

But is Luo Hao worthy? !
Qin Chen was quite surprised. He was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't figure out whether Mr. Chai was being public or private.

Based on Qin Chen's understanding of Mr. Chai, he would never do such a thing.

It would be enough to help Luo Hao apply for a scientific research project and give him a name so that others would not use this as an excuse if the operation failed.

But Boss Chai actually wanted to support Luo Hao in the name of the Academy of Engineering.

Qin Chen remained silent.

This strength...

If the old minister could support me with this much strength, I'm afraid Zheng Siyuan would not be able to compete with me now.

But after thinking about it carefully, Qin Chen sighed. He didn't have anything to offer that would make the old minister support him with all his strength.

No matter what, there still has to be some solid content.

"Boss, it shouldn't be that necessary." Director Qian advised.

"I'll make a phone call later, and then you go to the National Natural Science Foundation of China."

Outstanding youth!

Boss Chai actually had the idea of ​​letting Luo Hao apply for the Young Outstanding Youth Program.

This time, Director Qian and Qin Chen were silent. They were both silent, each thinking something.

……

After leaving, Qin Chen felt uneasy.

He hesitated for a long time and contacted Fuwai to inquire about the liquid metal robot project.

The project has reached Phase 3 of animal experiments. It is said to be useful, and it is indeed useful; but it can also be said to be useless, and now there is no sign of its use at all.

Even though breakthroughs have been made, the medical application of liquid metal has only just begun.

Human trials are still a long way off, and as for entering clinical trials after maturity, Qin Chen feels that it is impossible for him to retire.

Maybe in another 20 years, this project will be successful? But the best that can be said is maybe.

Qin Chen thought about this for a long time and thought a lot about its application in endoscopic technology. If such a thing really exists, endoscopic technology can also make a breakthrough.

Many surgeries that cannot be performed now will be overturned and the procedures will be changed.

This is a disruptive technology.

After thinking for a whole day, Qin Chen returned home after get off work and called Luo Hao directly.

It was a mess on the other end of the phone, with occasional laughter.

It sounds different from what Qin Chen imagined.

When such major scientific research projects are about to be put into clinical practice, everyone is concentrating and under great pressure. Who has the time to laugh?

"Luo Hao, what are you doing?"

"Director Qin, I'm making a piece of armor for the bamboo."

“???” Qin Chen was stunned.

He believed Luo Hao when he said that his research had made breakthrough progress, but Luo Hao was making armor for bamboo at the critical period when he was using some weird liquid metal to treat tumors.

Isn’t this bullshit!

Qin Chen was a little angry, his shiny slicked-back hair emitted a faint light, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"What the hell are you doing!"

"Director Qin, this is not a joke. This is my Qingchang research topic."

This one sentence blocked everything Qin Chen wanted to say.

Qin Chen was feeling very suffocated.

"Luo Hao!"

"what?"

Luo Hao on the other end of the phone sounded like an innocent little white rabbit, his voice was simple, pure, honest, sincere and real.

"I heard that you are going to perform seed implantation on a patient with pancreatic metastatic cancer?"

"Director Qin, you know about this." Luo Hao said with a smile, "Yes, this is currently being studied."

"You are making armor for bamboo!" Qin Chen picked up what Luo Hao had just said and pulled it back without hesitation.

Let’s see what you have to say when facing the boomerang!

Qin Chen thought viciously in his heart.

"Director Qin, is it convenient for us to video chat?" Luo Hao asked.

"Fang...wait for me for two minutes."

Qin Chen hung up the phone without thinking about why Luo Hao wanted to video chat with him. Instead, he simply tidied up his appearance and used hair wax to comb his slicked-back hair until it was shiny.

After dialing the video, Luo Hao's familiar face appeared in front of Qin Chen.

"Hello, Director Qin."

In the video, Luo Hao looks relaxed. He doesn't seem nervous at all, nor does he have the rigor and seriousness of a scientific researcher.

"You talk, I listen." Qin Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with Luo Hao.

"Liquid metal armor, you've seen Terminator 2, right Director Qin? Although it's not as good as in the movie, it still replicates some of the functions."

"!!!"

Fortunately, Qin Chen's hair was fully waxed, otherwise all the hair would stand up due to static electricity.

"Here, Director Qin, please take a look and help me think of anything that can be improved."

Luo Hao made some room, and a bamboo simulated doll appeared in front of him.

There is a layer of black metal on the abdomen of this doll, like a bellyband.

Is this a furry thing?
Qin Chen was stunned.

He looked carefully and found that the bamboo doll had a backpack on its back, which looked like the radio of the past and was very cumbersome.

Luo Hao picked up an iron rod and swung it at the bamboo doll.

next second!
Qin Chen's eyes widened as he saw that the layer of black metal that was originally on his abdomen instantly moved to the position where the metal stick in Luo Hao's hand was hitting, forming a protective "armor".

"Bang~"

There was a muffled sound.

Gold and iron echo.

"The speed of transformation is okay, what do you think, Director Qin?"

"What... does this have to do with the surgery?" Qin Chen asked in a daze.

"Sensing, the computer system makes a judgment instantly and then forms a protection. It is similar to the principle of surgery, but there are differences in details." Luo Hao replied with a smile, "Director Qin, would you like to take a look at the operation?"

"When will it be done?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll take some time off and go with Elder Chai to take a look. Luo Hao, are you serious?"

"Me? Very serious." Luo Hao replied, "You've watched the animation."

"Looked."

"The actual situation is a little different from the animation, you know. After all, time is tight, and I can't be too rigorous even if I want to."

Luo Hao spoke vaguely, but Qin Chen didn't realize what was wrong.

Qin Chen curled his lips and raised his hands to smooth his slicked-back hair.

I knew that the expression method in the animation was exaggerated. This little guy Luo Hao is really becoming more and more frivolous and exaggerated.

The operation failed. Let’s see how he explains to Mr. Chai!
This time, Mr. Chai made a big splash by visiting the First Hospital of Jiangbei Medical University as the vice president of the Academy of Engineering to provide work guidance.

The more Mr. Chai cares about it, the more pressure Luo Hao feels.

I really don’t know what these two, old and young, are thinking.

"I know, be careful on your side."

Qin Chen did not ridicule Luo Hao, but gave him a warning with a serious look on his face.
