Chapter 1430: 1385 Optical Tweezers

Ning Shu, the boss is really anxious. Su Yun gave a hehe laugh and said, "Please don't blame me."

"Oh." Xie Ning glanced at Su Yun and nodded.

"Manager Peng, any opinions? Zheng Ren is here, go ahead and speak." Xie Ning looked at Peng Jia and said.

After a bout of verbal sparring and sharp debate, the negotiation would be pulled back from the brink each time by someone, allowing this negotiation that everyone felt was a huge loss to continue.

Zheng Ren didn't care about these details at all.

His mind was filled with gifts and Li Lao's condition; occasionally he'd listen a bit, watch everyone's expressions, and could see that Peng Jia was losing ground step by step.

After the argument lasted until nearly three o'clock, they finally signed the agreement. Zheng Ren glanced at the demands made on him—nothing excessive, and there were substantial benefits.

Su Yun really has a knack for business; it's a pity he's in medicine.

Zheng Ren thought that, then said something to Peng Jia, pulled Xie Ning along and brought Su Yun out of the meeting room.

The remaining detailed work would naturally be handled by Xie Ning's team and the executives of Xinglin Yuan.

To polish it out, at least several all-nighters are still needed.

"Zheng Ren, don't be so rushed." Xie Ning smiled gently: "When you're calm and peaceful, the gifts you buy will have a soul."

"Hey! Ning Shu, don't worry about my joking—I didn't sleep well last night." Zheng Ren sighed and said, "I don't even know whether my girlfriend's parents will be reasonable."

"Disagreeing or having opinions about you means being unreasonable, right?" Xie Ning glanced at Zheng Ren and asked half-seriously.

Su Yun immediately interjected: "Disagreeing just means you still have things to improve; you don't reflect on your mistakes, you just look for excuses everywhere. Boss, your attitude is wrong."

"I also want to reflect, I definitely need to correct it, but isn't it because I'm afraid there won't be a chance?" Zheng Ren said anxiously.

"Boss, how is Li Lao's CT? Lin Ge also asked me about it earlier." Su Yun seized the moment to steer the conversation elsewhere.

Our own boss—saving even a second is saving a second.

"I seem to have located the metastatic tumor." Speaking of the condition, Zheng Ren immediately became energized.

"Seemingly?" Su Yun immediately found the loophole and problem in that statement.

"Well, after all, the liver's original lesion has been inactivated after years of treatment by Director Zhou. The dormant metastatic lesions can't be detected with current technology; they might be cellular‑level, at most just a bit larger than a cell."

"You can see it on the film?" Su Yun still couldn't believe it.

"It's not certain; this isn't about trying to find evidence, is it?"

"At the position of the 6th and 7th thoracic vertebrae, the edge bone density differs greatly from other bone. I judge that's where the problem lies." Zheng Ren felt somewhat troubled: "But there's no way to confirm it, after all it's just a cellular‑level change."

"Zheng Ren, can you do microsurgery?" Xie Ning suddenly asked.

"I can do it, Ning Shu." Zheng Ren said: "But this requires far greater precision than ordinary microsurgery—a geometric‑order improvement. Moreover, even if we sense a problem, we cannot grasp it."

"Optical tweezers, have you heard of them?" Xie Ning asked.

"I've heard of them—they were the achievement that won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics."

"I've had this technology for a while."

"Oh, Ning Shu, did you purchase the optical tweezers technology?" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not a purchase, just usage rights, non‑exclusive. The optical tweezers technology belongs to Americans; buying it outright isn't just a money issue, there are other external factors. After looking at the subordinates' report, I bought it as a technology reserve without spending much." Xie Ning said.

Zheng Ren was somewhat surprised.

At Ning Shu's age, and being a businessman, how could he be so interested in cutting‑edge technology?

Optical tweezers use photon resonance based on a crystal core, a light trap of trapping technology, capable of manipulating and capturing particles from nanometer to micrometer scale.

Using a NanoTweezer microscope nanoscale optical tweezers conversion device, existing microscopes can be upgraded and transformed into optical tweezers.

Generally speaking, at least for now, optical tweezers are used for genetic modification.

Genetic modification is viewed inconsistently around the world.

Randomly tinkering with it, it's not certain whether some kind of monster will eventually appear.

Nevertheless, these things can't stop some scientists from frenziedly researching black technology.

Use optical tweezers? To search for aberrant cells in the possibly lesion‑prone area of Li Lao, then send them for pathological examination?

Zheng Ren suddenly stood up, forgetting the thought of buying a gift for his father‑in‑law, which flew off to the horizon.

Xie Ning smiled and turned his head to look at Zheng Ren.

Su Yun felt somewhat helpless, watching the contemplative Zheng Ren, as if he could hear the roaring sound of Zheng Ren's brain working frantically.

This guy—could he possibly be researching how to use optical tweezers to capture lurking cancer cells right now? Su Yun thought Zheng Ren was hopeless.

There's no need for any rescue; one could directly declare clinical death.

"Ning Shu, do you have a finished product over there?" Zheng Ren muttered.

"Yes, if you need it, I'll have someone send it over." Xie Ning picked up his phone, seeing Zheng Ren's eyes a bit glazed, looking like he had no spark of cleverness.

If it weren't for having met in Pengxi Xiang, knowing that the person before him was just a tech‑obsessed dog, Xie Ning would surely think he had a brain disorder.

Even if it were schizophrenia or something similar, it wouldn't be surprising.

Xie Ning placed a call, spoke a couple of sentences softly, then hung up.

He stood there quietly, wearing his usual smile, not speaking, just looking at Zheng Ren.

Su Yun felt awkward; if the boss keeps losing his mind like this, the upcoming parents' meeting will surely run into big trouble.

"Boss!" Su Yun called softly.

Zheng Ren radiated heat, his eyes faintly showing a changing light.

Su Yun felt helpless, so he walked over and bumped Zheng Ren with his shoulder.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren was jolted awake, then a smile appeared on his face: "Ning Shu, you've really helped a lot!"

"No big deal." Xie Ning smiled: "The purchased technology has never found a suitable application. Even smaller‑scale tech, they wouldn't sell. Originally I wanted to reverse‑engineer, trace the tech to its source, see if we could leapfrog."

"But lately there's been a lot on our plate, funds have gone into 5G projects and intelligent robots, so this side has just been left hanging here."

"Good, good." Zheng Ren rubbed his hands together.

Su Yun saw his impatient look, guessed that now he had optical tweezers in hand, this guy would dash straight back to 912, to the pathology department to try using them.

Big brother, can't you have a bit of common sense? There's still a parent-teacher meeting today! How did the vibe change all of a sudden?

Even if one is always nervous and cautious, it can be understood as having a child's heart, lacking experience, right?

Young people who make mistakes are always forgiven.

But this kind of thing right in front of us should be considered as attacking one's heart, right?

Isn't the father-in-law more important than the optical tweezers? Most importantly, the optical tweezers were given to you by the father-in-law.

Damn, can't you have a bit of common sense?!
