Now we need to ensure we used glossary names exactly for those terms. Let's verify each:

- Mu Tao: correct.

- Wu Haishi: correct.

- Wu Lao: correct.

- Jin Yao Wu: correct.

- Xinglin Yuan: correct.

- Surgery Livestream Room: correct.

- slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction: correct.

- Teacher: correct (Title: Teacher).

- Hua Ying Ying: correct.

- Intervention Department: correct.

- Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room: correct.

- Interventional surgery: correct.

- Team-leading Professor: correct.

- CT Shi: correct.

(note about CT Shi Deputy Chief)

- Zheng Ren: correct.

- Zheng Lao Ban: correct.

- Pengcheng Kaifaqu Renmin Yiyuan: correct.

- Development Zone People's Hospital: correct.

- District People's Hospital: correct.

- People's Hospital: correct.

- Pengcheng Kaifaqu: correct.

- Pengcheng: correct.

- Chief: not in glossary; we translate as "Chief".

- Zhang Deputy Chief: not in glossary; we translate as "Zhang Deputy Chief".

- Doctoral student: not in glossary; we translate as "Doctoral student".

- Progress: correct.

- Outpatient: correct.

- Demonstration Surgery: correct.

(note about 64-slice CT)

- Strange: correct.

Also we need to ensure we used "Surgery Livestream Room" exactly as glossary: "Surgery Livestream Room". Good.

"Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room": glossary says "Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room". Good.

"Intervention Department": glossary says "Intervention Department". Good.

"Interventional surgery": glossary says "Interventional surgery". Good.

"Team-leading Professor": glossary says "Team-leading Professor". Good.

"CT Shi": glossary says "CT Shi". Good.

"slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction": glossary says "slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction". Good.

"64-slice CT": glossary says "64-slice CT". Good.

"Progress": glossary says "Progress". Good.

"Outpatient": glossary says "Outpatient". Good.

"Demonstration Surgery": glossary says "Demonstration Surgery". Good.

"Strange": glossary says "Strange". Good.

"Teacher": glossary says "Title: Teacher". The raw term is "Teacher". We'll output "Teacher". Good.

Now we need to output each line translation with 【N】 prefix.

Let's craft each line.

We'll need to be careful with punctuation: keep the original punctuation (。, ，, 「」, etc.) but translate to English punctuation appropriately. The instruction: "Render EXACTLY what the source says — same meaning, same information, nothing added." It doesn't require preserving Chinese punctuation exactly; we need to produce natural English. So we can convert Chinese punctuation to English equivalents.

We'll produce each line as a single line.

Let's write them.

【1】 A few hours earlier.

After the meeting, Mu Tao followed behind Wu Haishi and Wu Lao, walking out of the research institute's building.

"Do you have confidence?" Wu Lao remained silent all the way, but at the moment he stepped out of the gate, he suddenly asked.

"Yes." Mu Tao answered immediately.

If it had been a few months earlier, he probably wouldn't have had the confidence to defeat Jin Yao Wu. Their abilities and levels were roughly equal; it was hard to say who could overwhelm whom. But now, he absolutely has confidence to surpass him by a notch.

Because, after the livestream of the Surgery Livestream Room at Xinglin Yuan, Wu Lao deduced that the operator was his own slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction.

Therefore, Mu Tao has recently focused all his efforts on researching three-dimensional reconstruction, making significant progress.

As for surgery alone, his skill is already very high; wanting to make further progress despite already high achievement is impossible in a short time.

But with this "magic treasure," Mu Tao is confident he can come out on top.

"Wu Lao, you've worked hard." Just after stepping out of the gate, he saw Hua Ying Ying standing beside the steps, reaching out to support Wu Lao's arm with meticulous care. Mu Tao suddenly felt an illusion that this Hua Ying Ying was truly the teacher's inner-door disciple.

"In this freezing weather, it's you who's suffering by waiting outside." Wu Lao waved his hand, rejecting Hua Ying Ying's kindness, but expressed goodwill in his words.

Hua Ying Ying's face bore a reverent yet cautious smile; while asking about his comfort, she walked two steps ahead of Wu Lao to the car, opened the door, and placed her right hand above the doorframe.

"Mu Tao, go contact and have the patients undergo a 64-slice CT reconstruction before surgery." Wu Lao arranged.

Mu Tao nodded, watched the Mercedes-Benz leave, then took out his phone to start contacting about the arrangements the teacher had made.

To have private space, it must be after work.

But since today is the weekend, the time is relatively flexible.

After making contact, Mu Tao leisurely walked toward the Intervention Department, his mind full of the interventional surgeries from the Surgery Livestream Room at Xinglin Yuan.

Clean, beautiful!

Mu Tao believed that he would eventually reach the level of the operator in the livestream room, and that day would not be far off.

Upon arriving at the Intervention Department, Mu Tao presented his credentials. The on-duty doctor had already been notified and warmly received him.

"These patients are really lucky." The little doctor brought Mu Tao to the doctors' office, opening the computer while saying, "When it comes to this person, it's still a matter of fate."

Mu Tao understood what he meant: almost the nation's finest bone specialists had gathered here to perform Monday's outpatient surgeries.

Mu Tao thought his level might be somewhat higher than that of the team-leading professor here, so the little doctor saying the patients' luck was good was, in his view, not a sideways compliment to himself but… a fact.

"How many patients?" Mu Tao asked.

"Twenty-two."

"What if we can't finish them?"

"The team-leading professor will do them later; originally it was a two- or three-day surgery load, but when the patients heard a top‑nation professor would be doing the surgeries with partial fee waivers, they all demanded surgery, so everything got scheduled for Monday." The little doctor said.

Mu Tao began reviewing the medical records; to perform a demonstration surgery, he naturally couldn't pick something too mild, as that would show nothing of his skill.

Of course, he also couldn't choose something too severe, as that would be inviting embarrassment—something a smart person like Mu Tao wouldn't do.

Medical records of suitable difficulty…

The hospital was well prepared, all with double contrast. Mu Tao examined the images of the twenty‑two patients, selected three, and said, "I've reserved these three patients."

"Ah? You want to do three?" The little doctor exclaimed.

"Hmm, that's a morning's work." Mu Tao noted the record numbers, personally looked at the patients, carefully asked about their medical histories, then rushed to the CT Shi.

Wu Lao had already contacted the CT Shi staff; a deputy chief personally waited for Mu Tao's arrival. Upon learning that Mu Tao wanted to personally redo the slice CT three‑dimensional reconstruction, he remarked with feeling, "Technology is advancing so fast now—operators are starting to do reconstructions themselves. In a few years, will our support department staff have nothing to eat?"

Mu Tao and the CT Shi deputy chief both knew this was just a joke.

Such private customization is only suitable for special patients under special circumstances.

Of course, it also depends on the operator's willingness.

The machine is the same as the one at Pengcheng Kaifaqu Renmin Yiyuan; Mu Tao is very satisfied, needing no adaptation to the machine, which will save him a lot of time.

Watching Mu Tao's skilled operation, the CT Shi deputy chief's face showed a bitter smile.

If it had been just a joke earlier, he now feels that this joke isn't very funny.

If clinical doctors all did this… heavens, that would be utterly terrifying.

Although he also knew that only someone like Mu Tao, who specialized in intervention and was a top‑tier talent nationwide, would do this, watching Mu Tao's skilled technique and meticulous operation still left him uneasy.

"Chief, I estimate this will take a long time; please bear with me a little longer." While working, Mu Tao politely said.

"It's fine; Wu Lao personally made the call—it's only a few hours."

Time trickled by; at dusk, the 64‑slice CT room was utterly silent.

The deputy chief played with his phone, refreshing news endlessly until he felt a bit nauseous.

A few hours passed in an instant; bored, Deputy Chief Zhang heard a sound coming from the hallway.

"Who would be here this late? Strange."

From the sound, it should be a doctoral student brought by the chief.

"What's up?" How is this guy still hanging around here at this hour? Chief Zhang was startled.

"Isn't there a friend who wants to see our equipment? I'm bringing him over to take a look." The doctoral student was startled, as if caught red‑handed stealing, his smile stiffening.

Many brother hospitals from across the country have come to observe; Chief Zhang didn't mind and kept fiddling with his phone.

Upon entering another operating room, the doctoral student who had brought Zheng Ren in finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Zheng, this is our machine, a Siemens 320‑slice." The doctoral student said with a hint of pride, "Are you used to using it?"

Although he was just asking, he guessed Zheng Ren probably wouldn't use it.

It's said that few of this CT model exist nationwide; only the Toshiba 640‑slice is slightly better in performance. One could say this is CT at the world's top tier.

Because when three‑dimensional reconstruction was first done, the highest‑end machines could only scan to 64 slices, so everyone habitually called it 64‑slice three‑dimensional reconstruction.

With technological progress, the auxiliary machines have been updated many times over; actually the 640‑slice and 320‑slice aren't that different—it's just a matter of terminology.

Zheng Ren chuckled, "Pretty much, that's how you power it on here."

Speaking, he casually opened the machine.

The machine let out a low rumbling sound; the doctoral student hurried to help operate it, afraid Zheng Ren would break the machine and he'd have trouble explaining it the next day.

Zheng Ren didn't insist, just waited with a smile for him to finish, then following protocol began entering the patient's medical record number and started the slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction.

At first, the doctoral student stared intently; but as time passed, he grew increasingly surprised.

Is this a clinical doctor? How could he do a slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction? Moreover… he did it purely manually, it seems… it seems he even did a retrograde reconstruction?!
