Protagonist:

Fang Ziye

The Comprehensive Test Center was expanded from the original Animal Test Lab!

After Hu Qingyuan drove into the parking lot, Yao Guang may have received a call or message from the security guard at the doorway, and directly dialed Fang Ziye's phone.

"Professor Fang, you've already arrived at the test center, right?" Yao Guang asked hurriedly.

"Director Nie and I are both waiting for you at the Instrument Test Lab."

The development of the Bridging Electrode was initially something Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian tinkered with together, but after submitting it for approval, some problems still arose.

So Fang Ziye immediately consulted Yao Guang, the chief engineer of Guangbai Group; Yao Guang was naturally very interested in this new thing, the Bridging Electrode, and flew back to Han City right away.

He stayed until today.

"Okay, Chief Engineer Yao, I'll be there right away. I'm parking now, and I should arrive in about twenty minutes."

"Has the expert team responsible for the preliminary evaluation of the research project already been arranged?" Fang Ziye asked.

The Bridging Electrode is a brand-new instrument, and spinal cord injury is a brand-new disease type treatment project.

The newer something is, the more significant its impact, the more cautious one must be.

Even if it's just the beginning of a clinical project, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Natural Science Foundation of China attach great importance to it, and have specially sent an expert team to station here for a while.

First, to inspect Fang Ziye Team's preliminary research preparations; second, to inspect whether they possess the qualifications to conduct clinical research; third, to evaluate the safety of the experiment and whether the ethical assessment is qualified, etc.

Naturally, there is another purpose: to identify and fill gaps for this project.

One can tell with one's buttocks how important this project is to medicine; it could enable Eastern Han to take the lead in the medical field, so it's impossible not to attach importance to it.

Even if it's just a small branch within the broad category of medicine.

"I've already received a message from Director Deng saying they've all been settled; Vice President Yuan Yufeng and Dean Wang Xinghuan have personally come out, so naturally there won't be any problems."

"Professor Fang, come over first, and we'll carefully check everything once more. After our project was submitted for approval, those feedback issues still need to undergo a fourth review." Yao Guang said.

"Mm, okay! ~" Fang Ziye agreed.

This matter concerns the progress of the spinal cord injury project, so Fang Ziye naturally couldn't delay it; moreover, starting tomorrow, the expert team will station at the Comprehensive Test Center to conduct a comprehensive inspection.

The expert team formed this time includes academicians from relevant fields such as Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Spine Surgery.

There are also scholars well-known nationwide, important leaders within the National Natural Science Foundation Committee...

Scientific research belongs to Fang Ziye's research tasks, considered private matters, and cannot affect the Outpatient Clinic.

But Fang Ziye choosing not to work overtime at such a critical juncture is only human.

After parking quickly, Fang Ziye and Hu Qingyuan both quickly got out of the car.

Hu Qingyuan carried his backpack, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Master, today is the final re-review; there shouldn't be any special problems."

"Li Qixi, whom you sent to follow me, wants to come observe remotely from a distance. Do you think that's okay?"

"She won't disturb the test re-review, and she's already taken a taxi to the doorway."

"After nearly a month of study, she also understands the basic rules and knowledge in the laboratory..."

Hu Qingyuan said: "Of course, Master; if you don't agree, I'll let her sit in a nearby coffee shop! ~"

"It's just that I personally feel this Li Qixi has a certain talent and also a certain drive to improve; after contacting our project team, wanting to see such an extremely high-end scene is only human!"

Fang Ziye took a deep breath, his pace not slowing: "She can't come!"

"For this thing, Jie Han, my master Yuan Weihong spent nearly a week; you and I spent most of the last week in seclusion."

"Professor Liao Jia, Big Brother Nie Mingxian, Song Yi, and Old Brother Dong Ning have been nearly living in the experimental area for the past half month."

"No unrelated personnel or variable factors can appear in today's test area."

"It's just that I, your master, am bold-hearted; otherwise, if we were to attach even more importance to this project, it would be perfectly reasonable for all of us to go into seclusion for a whole month."

Hu Qingyuan immediately replied: "Okay, Master; I'll send Li Qixi a message telling her to go rest."

"Explain a few more sentences; think up the reasons yourself—I have no time." Fang Ziye said.

Soon, the two took the elevator, heading to the Instrument Test Area on the third floor.

Yao Guang walked over quickly: "Professor Fang, after improvements, the current conductivity has passed; under analog range voltage, the electrode will no longer amplify current, but will maintain a very stable level."

"These are the data."

"Professor Zheng of Han City Hospital's Neurology Department is indeed a top professor in the industry; he gave such important data just like that! ~"

Fang Ziye nodded: "Yes, I thought I'd have to talk a lot."

"The world is vast, and talents are like carp crossing the river; we can't possibly penetrate all fields of knowledge and blind spots, especially unknown things."

"There are too many directions, and too many details to pay attention to."

"In the future, we still need to consult more."

"However, the data for this project hasn't been published yet, and I don't know how other professors' project progress is."

Fang Ziye continued: "But this time, the project isn't blind review, which is somewhat beyond my expectations."

Yao Guang then said: "Professor Fang, blind review is for ordinary projects; how could a project like yours go through blind review? It's all real-name system."

"The higher-ups fear both that someone might protect you and that someone might deliberately target you, causing this project to die in the womb."

"Anyway, Professor Fang, you now have Han City University backing you, so other blind review experts wouldn't dare act recklessly."

"That's all the data." Yao Guang emphasized while chatting.

Fang Ziye nodded, and while reading carefully, he saw Nie Mingxian sitting with his eyes closed, resting; his dark circles and eye bags were somewhat severe.

Fang Ziye stepped over and leaned in: "Brother Nie, you've worked hard. After we're done today, we can rest for a while."

Big exams are played big, small exams are played small.

Finish the preparations before the exam, and you can go into the exam light and ready; life and death are just that simple.

Nie Mingxian said: "Hard work—who doesn't work hard? Everyone works hard, and you work hard too."

"I'm still temporarily away from clinical work for now. The Surgical Branch just moved to Han City and hasn't resumed normal operations yet, so the number of surgeries and patients is low."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have so much free time."

"But my Master really can't come," Nie Mingxian explained.

Fang Ziye said: "If Teacher Li can spare time to give me some valuable opinions, I'd already be deeply grateful. He's now the Dean of the Branch Campus and Group Leader of the Surgical Group, with a pile of things to handle."

"Even if Teacher Li is truly willing to come help, I couldn't afford to impose on him."

Professor Li Yongjun truly deserves the title of Super Expert in instrument improvement; his opinions are very important.

"These data are enough. Before, we only thought about the stability of the current, but overlooked that after the current passes through the electrode, it might amplify the local current."

"A conductivity difference could cause damage at the connection point!"

"Our animal trials don't last long after all. If irreversible damage truly appears after a long time, that would be big trouble."

"Fortunately, the members of this Expert Team are capable and meticulous, and the scope involved is quite broad."

"Even the most careful plan has a lapse..."

Knowledge corresponding to conductivity differences belongs to the field of physics, and as for which specific branch it is, Fang Ziye couldn't make sense of it.

But the National Natural Science Foundation of China Committee could find the corresponding experts.

Moreover, for this secondary optimization of the needle electrode, a master of materials science, an Academician, personally came to guide for a few days.

It was also this time that made Fang Ziye further calm his mindset.

Understanding one thing: many hands make light work; even if one person is made of iron, how many nails can they hammer?

Breaking the world deadlock and completing a major research project that achieves a world-leading first isn't that easy.

"Let's test once more," Fang Ziye said.

"..."

About three hours later, another batch of experimental data was produced.

Fang Ziye, Nie Mingxian, Yao Guang, Hu Qingyuan, and others carefully examined them prostrate, then nodded frequently.

Someone suddenly rushed in: "How is it? Did the last group of experimental results before the review come out?"

It was Liao Jia.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye turned back, slightly startled: "Liao Ge, isn't your sister-in-law far along in her pregnancy?"

"Her mother came to take care of her."

"When I go back to accompany her, I'm also uneasy. She also knows the importance of the research project and is very curious about its progress, currently waiting to eat melon." "I was just sent over as a reporter." Liao Jia put on an isolation suit, put on gloves, and approached.

There was a lot of data, and Liao Jia couldn't examine them all in detail in a short time.

"Just announce the results directly..." Liao Jia said simply.

"It's quite good! ~" Fang Ziye said confidently.

"As long as it's good, you scared me to death." Liao Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I saw the review feedback, I was really a bit nervous. If something we worked so hard on were to be stopped because of this, it would be too unjust."

"Fortunately, Ziye, you're capable enough to bring in so much outside help!" Liao Jia patted his chest.

This research project has lasted quite a while.

Fang Ziye said: "Where am I capable? It's the leaders above who are capable, okay?"

Liao Jia said with a smile: "Most people and most professors can get by through human relations, but truly top-tier talents still cannot be taken lightly!"

"It's mainly that Ziye, you're excellent. Otherwise, how could an ordinary professor be assigned such a heavyweight team?"

"So next, we're waiting for tomorrow's small exam?"

"Good! ~ The last round of exams before the clinical trial. After the exam, it should be approved by mid-June and officially start."

"Although it's half a month later than we expected, it's still within the normal schedule," Fang Ziye said.

"Tomorrow is Wednesday, I'll still be performing surgery, so I'll have to trouble you then."

Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia spoke in unison: "How can showing off and being shown off be described as hard work?"

The two Nie Mingxians in a good mood actually pushed the car speed to the extreme, and their expressions changed all at once.

And it was very direct.

"Hu Qingyuan, what time is it?"

"It's half past eleven," Hu Qingyuan replied.

"Let's go, back. Today we can only do this much. Tomorrow, just operate normally and display the data."

"The day after tomorrow, I'll come to perform animal operations! ~" Fang Ziye said.

"Okay, Master, you go back first. I still need to go find Big Brother Song Yi to chat; we made an appointment in advance."

"The progress on his side is similar to my experimental progress at Enshi Sanatorium before—it's hard to push forward," Hu Qingyuan said with a bitter smile.

"We just happen to comfort each other and huddle together for warmth."

Hearing Hu Qingyuan's complaints, Nie Mingxian pursed his lips and said: "You're not unaware of the importance of the basic research project on Song Yi's side. The harder it is, the broader the impact of the project, the more time and energy need to be invested."

"If we can truly precisely locate and qualify and quantify nerve potentials! ~"

"Even if we can't win a Nobel like Einthoven, it would still be of extraordinary significance."

In 1885, Dutch physiologist Hoven first recorded an electrocardiogram from the body surface; in 1924, Einthoven won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine!

This is groundbreaking!

Liao Jia said: "In 2000: Arvid Carlsson, Paul Greengard, Eric R. Kandel won the Nobel Prize for discovering signal transduction in the nervous system."

"In 1981: Roger W. Sperry, 'for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres,' as well as David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel, 'for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system,' jointly won the Nobel Prize."

"In 1944: Joseph Erlanger and Herbert Spencer Gasser won the Nobel Prize for discovering differences in the speed of electrical signal conduction and function among different nerve fiber subtypes."

"Looking at the statistics overall, neuroelectrophysiology is a high-yield area for the Nobel Prize."

Fang Ziye shook his head and said, "Ours probably doesn't dare covet something that high."

"Wanting to win a Nobel just for the neuroelectrophysiological activity of one spinal cord segment — dreaming on, aren't we?"

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is only awarded to those who have made important contributions to basic medicine and basic medical theory.

No matter how much surgical techniques develop, they cannot be awarded a Nobel, because they will soon be eliminated.

Only fundamental theory can possibly influence hundreds of years or even longer!

……

Coming out of the experimental center, Fang Ziye discovered Li Qixi was actually still waiting, but the coffee shop had already closed, and she was sitting obediently in the security guard room reading a book.

When Fang Ziye drove, he saw her, but did not greet her. He also did not disturb her.

It was just that Li Qixi's personality like this made Fang Ziye quite appreciative.

Discarding the gender factor to view her, a person able to be so hardworking, so enterprising, with ideas and talent — as long as she has opportunity, it would be hard not to succeed.

He himself might just be her opportunity.

Of course, the current her is still in the stage of being assessed by Fang Ziye!

Several days passed in a flash, and the categories of Fang Ziye's surgeries in clinical practice did not undergo any change!

Every day was busy to the point of being fatal; daytime was doing surgeries, evening was going to the experimental area to fine-tune the research project, or going out to accompany the expert team that had come down.

During the accompaniment process there were inevitably human relations and social niceties, but Fang Ziye discovered there weren't that many interpersonal exchanges; what everyone talked about more was still professional matters.

Perhaps it was because Fang Ziye was young, or perhaps it was because this research project was indeed very important; the several big shots who came each gave their own ideas for Fang Ziye's reference.

Unlike that professor from China-Japan Friendship Hospital before, they did not try to get a foot in the door, nor did they use their own reputation to pressure others!

Fang Ziye then understood: people who truly understand academics and research fundamentally do not lack research achievements.

Admittedly the projects they preside over are not that major, but research output is still abundant; they do not go envying or being jealous of others' things.

This is confidence!

Fang Ziye is the same.

On the last day of the college entrance exam, Fang Ziye personally came to the high-speed rail station to see him off: "Professor Zheng, I didn't mention it before, but privately, I still want to express sincere gratitude for your generosity."

"You being able to provide your private research data at such a key period played a crucial role in our project smoothly passing the preoperative review."

Professor Zheng comes from Huashan Hospital; Huashan Hospital's neurology-related departments are second only to Jingdu's Tiantan Hospital, ranking among the top three.

Professor Zheng's stature is not tall, only 1.6 meters, but clearly to him, concentrated is essence: "Professor Fang, my data didn't cause you trouble, then my mind is at ease."

"I've researched spinal cord injury for nearly twenty years, current progress is also quite limited; didn't expect Professor Fang you could open a new path, walking out a road from surgical technique."

"This is the fortune of spinal cord injury patients! ~"

"However, I do hope, if the opportunity is suitable, Professor Fang might as well understand the transduction of brain-computer crystal elements and neural signals; this is also a good line of thinking."

"However, from the current look, Professor Fang your project may be slightly superior."

Fang Ziye hurriedly replied: "Professor Zheng, you are an insider; different paths lead to the same goal."

"There's no winning or not winning; as long as the purpose can be reached, they are all good lines of thinking."

"Before there is a final conclusion, no one knows which is better; only after time accumulates will we know who is slightly better by a little bit."

"I have seriously read many papers on signal transduction and brain-computer crystal elements; in the future I will also consider combining them with surgery."

"Just hope that when the time comes if I have need of Professor Zheng you, you can still not be stingy with your guidance!"

Professor Zheng laughed heartily, stretched out his hand: "Professor Fang, loving to learn is a good thing, but being too humble is a bit hypocritical."

"Professor Fang is certainly young, but speech, insight, thinking, and approach are all extraordinary; although there is an age gap between you and me, in research we are already equals in exchange."

"Don't mention the words 'consult' again!"

"In the future when I have problems, I will also directly ask; Professor Fang if convenient, must not hide things!"

Between the two people's interaction, as long as it's under unequal circumstances, there will be tolerance.

Professor Zheng discovered Fang Ziye's research level fundamentally doesn't need him to accommodate downward; this is equal exchange.

Reaching this step, everyone's thirst for knowledge is very strong.

Pure fame and fortune, economy, and social reputation are no longer that important; thirst for knowledge is what everyone pursues.

"Professor Zheng, see you next time; I believe we will definitely meet again." Fang Ziye said.

Professor Zheng heard this, thought a moment, said: "Professor Fang, since you put it that way, why don't you pay some membership fees and join our neurology field's academic conference?"

"Then there will be more time and opportunity for exchange... I can write a recommendation letter for you."

"Works too! ~" Fang Ziye nodded.

"Good, then it's agreed; I have to go catch the high-speed rail." Professor Zheng turned suavelty and entered the high-speed rail station.

Fang Ziye waved goodbye until Professor Zheng disappeared into the crowd, then Fang Ziye turned and walked toward the parking lot.

The research project is set.

Just waiting for the approval receipt! ~

Systemic treatment, it should go to clinical now. (Chapter End)
