Chapter 504

"Eat first, eat first."

"Teachers, eat first, go after you've eaten your fill."

"The equipment being debugged is right there, it's not going anywhere." Fang Ziye soothed the old professors' emotions.

An Academician is also an old professor; professor is the highest rank among teaching titles.

As soon as Fang Ziye finished speaking, after a moment of pin-drop silence in the private room, the group of old professors 'erupted', insisting on going to see for themselves if it was really true.

Fang Ziye naturally couldn't let these few people go on an empty stomach.

Otherwise, even if Fang Ziye had ten thousand reasons, he'd still get his butt kicked by Deng Yong.

Old Professor Gu Yuandong stroked his side part with one hand and his large earlobes with the other, twisting around on his seat as if on pins and needles.

"Urge, urge them to serve the dishes?" Gu Yuandong asked for Qiu Zhenghua and Brother Zu and the others' opinions.

Brother Zu originally didn't have a very profound concept of what Fang Ziye spoke of, but seeing Academician Gu and Academician Qiu both with eyes shining, unable to sit still any longer, he then knew that what Fang Ziye spoke of was extraordinarily remarkable.

This expert team was invited by Brother Zu, and built single-handedly by him.

One was to return the favor, repaying the life-saving grace from back then; the second was to hope to give Fang Ziye an opportunity, just in case he really had something.

Looking at it now, his own face seemed to be merely the fuse; the real explosion was still the energy Fang Ziye had accumulated day by day.

"I'll go urge them, Professor Gu, Professor Qiu, you chat."

"You're all professionals, I'm just a layman, I'll definitely urge the dishes up as fast as possible." After Brother Zu stood up, he took quick little steps and ran out of the private room.

After Brother Zu left, almost everyone looked toward Old Academician Gu Yuandong who could not stay calm.

Qiu Zhenghua asked: "Professor Gu, if I'm not mistaken, Ziye's microcirculation instrument might be the second disruptive breakthrough for your Hand Surgery since Limb Replantation Surgery."

"Describing it like this shouldn't count as an exaggeration, right?"

Everyone is Orthopedics, but besides Gu Yuandong being a Hand Surgery professor, the others are all retired from Trauma Surgery.

The reason Brother Zu invited more old professors from Trauma Surgery was to more deeply understand the awesomeness of Fang Ziye's Mangled Extremity Limb Salvage Surgery.

The reason for inviting another Hand Surgery expert was to explore whether this new surgical technique could be interpreted in other scopes at the Hand Surgery level.

"Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration at all."

Gu Yuandong muttered and mumbled: "If Teacher Chen hadn't passed away, it would be good; if he could see this scene today, he would definitely be very happy."

The Teacher Chen Gu Yuandong spoke of is Old Academician Chen Zhongwei, the pioneer of Limb Replantation Surgery.

Back then, Old Academician Chen Zhongwei and another Old Academician performed the world's first Limb Replantation at the Sixth People's Hospital of Magic Capital, opening the door for the Orthopedics Hand Surgery Sub-specialty; this sub-specialty was promoted to the whole world.

Afterwards, Old Academician Chen Zhongwei transferred from the Sixth People's Hospital of Magic Capital to Huashan Hospital due to work reassignment, to the extent that today's Huashan Hospital, Hand Surgery alone has three wards!

Hand Surgery's strength looks down on the Nationwide; this is not an exaggerated statement.

However, for many, many years, the Hand Surgery Sub-specialty seems to have had no more major breakthroughs and achievements; even the Industry has rumors that Hand Surgery's upper limit has already been fixed dead.

Hand Surgery can no longer possibly have a major breakthrough, impossible to walk that final step!

Prosperity turns to mediocrity; this is a scene every sub-specialty must experience.

Dynasties alternate...

But right now, when Hand Surgery is almost at a development plateau and bottleneck period, Fang Ziye suddenly threw out such a heavyweight bombshell.

Gu Yuandong can imagine that at that time, county and city-level hospitals' Amputation Life-Saving Surgery can be done casually; a patient from a Xinzhou Province can even take a train to Magic Capital for treatment without delaying the condition — that prosperous scene.

At that time, that is the true prosperity.

Amputation patients caused by Trauma will become fewer and fewer, even infinitely approaching zero!

After all, in this era, every province has many excellent doctors who can do Limb Replantation Surgery; it's just that some patients, unable to wait to be sent to such a Unit, get amputated!

"Microcirculation Instrument, this kind of instrument is a bug."

"Good bug." Old Professor Gu Yuandong's cultural level is very high, so he never disconnects from the world; even a word like bug comes out of his mouth readily.

"If the kind of instrument Little Fang speaks of is really improved and produced?"

Qiu Zhenghua exclaimed, then immediately said: "Little Fang, are you willing to come work at our Peking Union Medical College Hospital?"

Hearing Academician Qiu Zhenghua's non sequitur, the others were all stunned, looking at Qiu Zhenghua in surprise.

If it's really improved and produced, so you're willing to come to Peking Union Medical College Hospital?

This front and back logic I couldn't find the slightest connection in eight generations!

Gu Yuandong heard this and his mouth moved for a good while, but in the end, constrained by Old Academician Qiu Zhenghua's identity, he didn't say "You're so disgusting."

Huang Guoqing and Long Leshan were the same.

However, Zhou Yuan shouted in a Beijing accent: "Hey, today is really fresh."

"Blind man's abacus, this business is done well."

Qiu Zhenghua glanced at Zhou Yuan, wanting to speak but stopping.

Zhou Yuan is also of Qiu Zhenghua's generation; he just wasn't evaluated as an Academician; the other honors Zhou Yuan should have gotten, he got.

Back then, that generation of Qiu Zhenghua, Zhou Yuan also got an Academician Nomination; and they're all from Jingdu people, so not giving you face, you can't do anything about him either.

Furthermore Zhou Yuan has a sharp tongue; Qiu Zhenghua didn't want to wrangle with him, lest he be annoyed to death.

Fang Ziye heard this and hurriedly played peacemaker: "Teacher Qiu, Teacher Zhou, thank you for your kind intentions, I feel my current Unit is pretty good."

"Thank you for your kind intentions."

Immediately after, Fang Ziye pulled the topic back to the instrument itself: "This Microcirculation Instrument's instrument is currently still in improvement and debugging."

"According to preoperative animal experiments, arterial blood oxygen levels can reach over 80%; this blood oxygen level, according to our experimental preoperative theoretical expectations, can at least increase Limb preservation time to around at least two hundred hours."

"Additionally, we also measured the corresponding metabolic waste levels in venous blood; because we can inject necessary nutrient solution in the Microcirculation Instrument, the circulation instrument has dialysis capability."

"Metabolic waste in blood at the venous end is slightly higher than normal human metabolic waste, but metabolic waste after passing through the arterial end at the venous end almost returns to zero."

"Teachers, I didn't bring a Computer now, so for example lactic acid concentration, k-ion and other specific concentration data, I can't remember that comprehensively; have to wait a bit later to check in detail."

Of course, speaking to here, Fang Ziye again pulled the topic back to the Mangled Extremity region.

This time, it is learning literary and martial arts, to sell to the emperor's house.

Having accumulated for so long, and finally getting a chance to show off in front of such a group of big shots, Fang Ziye naturally couldn't play dumb.

"The mangled extremity research project is currently the main clinical disease type our clinical group is studying, and after the mangled extremity project, we naturally derived functional reconstruction surgery."

"Functional reconstruction surgery is divided into two categories: one is functional reconstruction surgery after limb salvage surgery for mangled extremities, and the other is functional reconstruction surgery for non-mangled extremity patients; the current results are quite good..."

"It's just that, before we perform functional reconstruction surgery, we must first rule out several prerequisites."

"That is, functional deficits caused by spinal cord injury cannot currently be reconstructed; this requires spine surgery doctors to first treat the spinal cord injury and restore the patient's normal function before there is potential for functional reconstruction."

"..."

When discussing his specialty, Fang Ziye was serious.

And Gu Yuandong and the others listened to Fang Ziye's sharing very professionally; regardless of whether they wanted to listen or found it interesting, they had to respect Fang Ziye's opportunity to speak.

After all, Fang Ziye's current position was different from theirs, and having finally gotten a chance to show himself, he would naturally show off a bit more.

Interrupting what you don't want to hear is not respecting academia, nor is it respecting people who do academia.

Time passed slowly bit by bit during Fang Ziye's sharing.

After about seven or eight minutes, Zu Haiguo really had the dishes rushed out, and upon entering he said: "Sorry, we really have urgent matters."

"Please thank your boss and the kitchen chefs for me."

Zu Haiguo used connections to rush the dishes, but the pleasantries in his mouth were not neglected.

As the organizer of this expert team, Zu Haiguo felt it was very necessary to arrange the logistics well.

Because the rest apparently didn't need him to do it himself.

The waiter serving the dishes must have received the news, so he was very polite: "It's fine, old man, you coming to spend money makes you our guest of honor."

"It's just mealtime now, so our orders will be a bit more."

"If there is any inadequate service, please understand; the back kitchen has already started stir-frying dishes, and I believe they will all be served soon."

While Zu Haiguo chatted with the 'waiter' who didn't look much like a waiter, Fang Ziye was still sharing some details and anecdotes about functional reconstruction surgery with Professor Gu Yuandong and the others.

Of course, Fang Ziye knew when to stop: "Teachers, the dishes are starting to be served; let's start eating."

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, everyone nodded, but Fang Ziye still saw Professor Zhou Yuan take out a board of medicine before eating.

Upon closer inspection, it was acarbose, which lowers post-meal blood sugar.

Looking at it this way, Fang Ziye could only sigh that Professor Zhou Yuan and the others were indeed old, more or less having some underlying conditions.

Old Professor Gu Yuandong and the others might not have diabetes, but they had other diseases.

The eating speed was very fast; in half an hour, they finished the meal.

What slow chewing and swallowing? It simply didn't apply to these old comrades whose curiosity had been piqued; almost everyone ate very quickly.

After eating, Old Professor Gu Yuandong asked: "Doctor Fang, you've eaten at this hour; I don't know if it's convenient for you to take us to visit your animal laboratory?"

Fang Ziye smiled and said: "It is my great honor, Professor Gu."

Fang Ziye no longer kept secrets; looking at the many unread messages sent by his Master and Professor Liu Huanglong, he didn't reply to a single one.

He just actively replied with two sentences: "Master, Teacher Gu and the others are coming."

"Director Liu, Teacher Gu and the others are coming."

Inside the animal laboratory.

After interviewing Nie Mingxian and Wu Xuanqi, Meng Changyi chatted for a while with Liu Huanglong, Yuan Weihong, and others who rushed over.

The group sat in the office area of the office; Meng Changyi asked: "Professor Liu, I've been hearing you mention Doctor Fang Ziye just now."

"I'm also very curious about Doctor Fang, because whether it's Doctor Yuan, Director Nie, and Director Wu, they all speak highly of Doctor Fang."

"I don't know if there's a chance today to invite Doctor Fang to come and chat together?"

"Or if Doctor Fang is inconvenient, we can also go to a place more convenient for Doctor Fang."

After hearing that this microcirculation instrument was developed by a team led by Fang Ziye, Meng Changyi really wanted to interview Fang Ziye, but Liu Huanglong and others seemed to keep declining.

Liao Jia also said upon hearing this: "Teacher Liu, Teacher Yuan, is Doctor Fang performing surgery?"

This time, the exclusive interview was originally for Liao Jia, but unexpectedly, halfway through Meng Changyi changed her direction of interest and gave more interview content to the animal laboratory of Zhongnan Hospital.

Indeed, Liao Jia also hoped to bring some fame to his friend Nie Mingxian's team.

But the results you produced are too explosive; they directly snatched the attention of the reporter who was supposed to interview me.

This time, the interview content was expected to be only half a minute, but it might end up being ten minutes, and there's even a possibility that Reporter Meng will do another exclusive interview for Doctor Fang's team.

He instead became a foil.

Liu Huanglong and Yuan Weihong looked at each other, then explained: "Doctor Fang is not in the operating room, but has other tasks and can't get away temporarily."

"But he will come to the animal laboratory in a while."

"Reporter Meng, Professor Liao."

"Have you had lunch? How about we go eat a simple meal together?" Yuan Weihong suggested.

Guests are guests; as for the hospitality, let's not mention it, but they definitely can't be left with empty stomachs.

By rights, Liao Jia is a 'professor' from an outside hospital, and Meng Changyi is a reporter from Longtai, coming for Fang Ziye; Fang Ziye has no reason not to accept the interview here.

But there is indeed a reason.

The interview is of course an honor, but discussing their specialty with them, Meng Changyi and Liao Jia are definitely not professional enough.

Meng Changyi signaled the assistant beside her to turn off the recorder, saying: "Professor Liu, we already had work meals before we came."

"It's already past one o'clock; does Doctor Fang still have no time?" Although Meng Changyi was smiling, her tone actually carried a bit of emotion.

Just then, Liu Huanglong's mobile phone rang; Liu Huanglong picked it up and saw Fang Ziye's unread message displayed without even opening it:

"Doctor Fang has already come, but Reporter Meng."

"The interview time later needs to be delayed a bit. Because Doctor Fang is bringing several old professors with him this time."

"They also came to observe the laboratory."

Meng Changyi's assistant said upon hearing this: "Oh? I wonder which old professor Doctor Fang brought? Is it an old professor from Zhongnan Hospital?"

Working in the news industry isn't actually easy; when interviewing, you need a topic, but you can't go too far.

In terms of social recognition and 'professional' contribution, if a reporter offends local experts or famous professors during an interview, it will cause public opinion to turn completely against them.

In the medical industry, there are many experts and professors, especially in Jingdu, where crouching tigers and hidden dragons abound; some old person you might look down on could be a giant in their field, possibly having saved many heavyweight leaders.

"Not an old professor from our hospital, but Old Professor Gu Yuandong from Huashan Hospital, and Old Professor Qiu Zhenghua from Peking Union Medical College Hospital." Fang Ziye was almost there, so Liu Huanglong revealed the other party's identity.

Of course, even though Liu Huanglong spoke their names, Liao Jia and Meng Changyi were not familiar with these two people.

There are many academicians in Eastern Han; if you are not someone from this industry, it is very difficult to know who the masters of this industry actually are.

It's just that Liao Jia himself came from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, so he found Old Professor Qiu Zhenghua's name somewhat familiar.

"Old Professor Qiu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, I think I've heard of him." Liao Jia straightened his body slightly, showing a look of respect.

He came from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and calling an old professor from Peking Union Medical College Hospital 'Teacher' is not an exaggeration.

Anyone with some ability will not forget their roots.

Yuan Weihong whispered a reminder and explanation from the side: "Professor Gu is an academician of the Hand Surgery Department at Huashan Hospital, and Old Professor Qiu is an academician of the Trauma Surgery Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital; he is one of the two living academicians in our country."

Old Professor couldn't confirm how awesome these two were, because there were too many old professors in Eastern Han.

But the two words 'academician' immediately made Liao Jia and Meng Changyi's ears perk up.

After looking at Yuan Weihong with half-belief and half-doubt, Liao Jia quickly picked up his mobile phone and entered Old Professor Qiu Zhenghua's name; at the first glance of the Baidu results, he put down his mobile phone.

His mouth slightly open, his eyes full of surprise.

Then thinking about how awesome the microcirculation instrument improved by Fang Ziye's team was, he instantly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Meng Changyi immediately signaled her assistant to turn on the machine, her smile becoming more and more brilliant: "Professor Liu, do you mean that your team's research project has attracted the attention of two orthopedics academicians?"

"Then it seems we outsiders still underestimated the clinical application effect of this innovation; I don't know, during your process of innovation, what difficult problems did you encounter?"

Meng Changyi's news sense was very sensitive; she immediately decided on the spur of the moment to add interview content.

Although this time was to do an exclusive interview with Liao Jia, since they dug up more awesome people during the exclusive interview, even if this time it isn't edited and broadcast, next time they can still come to do an exclusive interview.

The content of this exclusive interview has physical objects for demonstration, which is more persuasive than the animal experiment models Liao Jia came up with.

Liu Huanglong didn't dare to interject, but instead turned his gaze toward Nie Mingxian.

During the improvement process, there were many difficult problems encountered.

Nie Mingxian organized his words, then slowly started over from the beginning.

Previously, what Meng Changyi asked was about its function and its clinical application; she didn't mention much about its development process.

Interview programs can be retraced.

For example, recreating the dilemma at that time, deliberately setting up the difficult problems encountered at the beginning, these can all be achieved through filming techniques.

Before the few people had chatted for a while, Fang Ziye brought Professor Gu and others in from outside.

Explaining while saying: "Various professors, the place we are going to now is the conference room; we will first look at some video materials and some data materials, so there is no need to change into isolation gowns."

"After we go through the data materials one by one, we will then go to see the circulation instrument on site."

"In the operating room next door, there are also some teachers from this city performing standard surgery practice on mangled extremity animal models; at that time, various professors can also go over to give guidance."

After Fang Ziye led people in, Liu Huanglong and others immediately stood up.

Then they crowded out one after another, everyone smiling brilliantly and starting to greet people.

Academician!

Academicians of every country, except for those who went up through crooked paths, are national treasures.

In the industry, they enjoy infinite fame and are objects of pride and pursuit for all academic people.

Perhaps there is no cluster effect of fans, but it definitely makes professional people more passionate than stars or the like.

Liu Huanglong took the lead, Yuan Weihong followed closely behind, Nie Mingxian and Wu Xuanqi were as well-behaved as elementary school students, just missing putting their hands behind their backs and puffing out their chests.

Among the crowd, only Liao Jia stood motionless with a look of disappointment; a full seven or eight seconds passed before he came back to his senses, then he hurriedly stood up and stood at the end of the line.

"Teacher Gu, Teacher Qiu, hello teachers." Liu Huanglong took the lead in greeting people.

Fang Ziye stood in the middle, beginning to introduce everyone to the crowd, politely introducing everyone, including Meng Changyi and Meng Changyi's assistant, to Professor Gu and others one by one.

After leaving the private room, Fang Ziye explained to Professor Gu and others the news that Reporter Longtai had accidentally visited.

Professor Gu and others did not doubt this point.

Reporters from Longtai are not ordinary TV station reporters; they are not people you can just call whenever you want. Even if Professor Gu wanted to call such a reporter over for an exclusive interview, the other party would need to have time available.

However, generally after meeting them, these reporters would be very polite to Professor Gu and others.

Fang Ziye, as the intermediary, after introducing everyone to everyone, then said: "First of all, thank you very much for the visit of various teachers, Professor Liao, and Reporter Long, Reporter Huang."

"I, as a junior of the younger generation, seeing so many heavyweight figures like you all at once, am truly filled with awe and fear."

"Even once not knowing what to say; our research group's space is relatively small, and the scale of the conference room is not large either."

"So, I hope everyone can make do; we can also take this opportunity to report to various teachers some achievements made by our research group working together."

"I hope various teachers can give more sincere opinions, speak more and offer corrections..."

Fang Ziye watched Nie Mingxian and Wu Xuanqi being led by Yuan Weihong to serve tea to everyone again, while watching Liu Huanglong debug the conference room's PPT for him, and with a stiff scalp, stood in front of everyone.

Whether it was Meng Changyi or Professor Gu and others, ultimately, they came here for Fang Ziye.

Having come, they definitely were not here to drink with Fang Ziye, but to take advantage of this accidental opportunity to deeply understand what kind of energy Fang Ziye's research project actually has.

Liao Jia at this moment seemed like an outsider, watching reporter Meng Changyi and assistant Huang Xuan point the cameras at Fang Ziye, with ripples of unease in his heart.

He felt some regret, and also some sighing.

If?

If, if I hadn't been willful, if I hadn't given up my clinical major, would I have become the current Fang Ziye?

This question, no one can answer.

But one thing was certain: Reporter Meng and Reporter Huang, whom he had brought today, were the wedding clothes for Fang Ziye's takeoff.
