They said, "Quickly write a love song."

Zheng Ren pulled out his phone, saw it was Su Yun calling, and answered.

"Boss, the simulation's ready—come take a look?"

"Okay, I'm coming right over."

Zheng Renhe and the guard waved, ending the unpleasant conversation.

He pondered as he walked to the Community Hospital. Regarding Xiao Shitou's surgery, Zheng Ren had already figured out a general approach.

Local fluorescent drug infusion via an interventional approach, rather than the traditional method of injecting a large dose of fluorescent agent into peripheral veins.

This causes less bodily harm and allows more precise targeting. Moreover, when removing the cervical vertebral body, embolization can be performed first to prevent abnormal tumor‑related blood vessels from causing massive bleeding.

The rest is microscopic surgery under a fluorescence scope, which tests one's surgical skill.

He had a vast amount of surgical training time and a peak‑level skill book, so Zheng Ren wasn't worried about this surgery. At the very least, relieving Xiao Shitou's airway‑compression symptoms could extend his life by about two months.

But what comes next? That's the most crucial part.

Upon arriving at the Community Hospital, Zheng Ren immediately spotted a person posted on the wall.

Zheng Ren, who is face‑blind, cannot accurately identify people he has only seen once or twice, which seems to contradict his superb memory, but that's the tragedy of being face‑blind.

Mosaic is a stumbling block to human progress, and Zheng Ren believes so.

Despite all the mosaics, Zheng Ren only remembers this person, Shi Huairu.

It's not because he's strong or skilled in computers and physics, but because he's lazy. If he can lie down, he won't sit; if he can sit, he won't stand.

He was completely limp, like boneless. The legendary "Ge You slump" couldn't even describe Shi Huairu; he was on another level.

(maybe missing)

At that moment, Shi Huairu was lying on a chair in the Community Hospital's demonstration classroom, his gaze vacant; he didn't even notice Zheng Ren entering.

"Boss, I've got a surprise for you." Su Yun looked in good spirits, he pointed at Shi Huairu and said, "Old Shi, do you still remember him?"

"I remember." Zheng Ren sighed, looking at Shi Huairu as if he were napping or meditating, feeling deep helplessness, "3D simulation..."

"That's trivial; didn't you tell me about nanorobots the other night?"

"I remember." Zheng Ren glanced at Shi Huairu.

"Don't look at Old Shi, he's just like that." Su Yun said, "Chu Nu Angsai at the Oak Ridge Laboratory and A Gong Laboratory can obtain some photoacoustic tomography technology. Christian said the Iberian International Nanotechnology Laboratory, his family has invested a lot of funds."

"Huh? The Iberian International Nanotechnology Laboratory wasn't jointly built by Portugal and Spain, was it?" Zheng Ren asked doubtfully.

"The most cutting‑edge technology—do you think two countries can jointly research it? Even the Galileo System has gone to ruin." Su Yun said contemptuously.

"You want Shi Huairu to design the software?"

The two exchanged ideas enthusiastically; this was a brainstorming session from two days ago, and Zheng Ren recalled an article published in the top robotics journal ScienceRobotics.

In the article, United States scientists announced a major technological breakthrough: using photoacoustic tomography, they could real‑time control nanorobots, enabling them to accurately reach a specific body part, thereby allowing the nanorobots to deliver drugs or perform intelligent microsurgery.

Previously, controllable autonomous movement of nanorobots inside the human body had been a challenge.

Because nanorobots are so tiny—only a fraction of a human hair—it's hard to locate them inside the body; if they enter a blood vessel, they can be swept away and disrupted by the blood flow, often losing control and disappearing without a trace.

Photoacoustic tomography can solve this problem.

The photoacoustic effect was first discovered by Bei Er in 1880, and photoacoustic imaging is a newly developed non‑invasive, non‑ionizing biomedical imaging method.

In the research field, photoacoustic imaging has been widely applied, and the technology is gradually moving from microscopic laboratory stages to macroscopic clinical practice.

Controlling nanorobots to enter the human body is merely one practical application of this field. The technology is already on the verge of a breakthrough, but Zheng Ren feels slightly regretful that it hasn't even entered Phase I clinical trials.

Zheng Ren also understood Su Yun's approach.

Whether it's the Bruhl Family, Chu Nu Angsai, the Qin family, the Zou family, or others, with limited demands, and under his skillful maneuvering, they become what he wants.

It's just a project that hasn't entered Phase I clinical trials; Zheng Ren was merely idly thinking about it. After all, Xiao Shitou hasn't even completed his first surgery, let alone worked out further treatment.

But Zheng Ren didn't expect Su Yun to bring Shi Huairu along directly.

"Whether it can be done is one thing; the key is that nanorobots can still be used to clean up scattered tumor cells. But like the solid thyroid tumor on Xiao Shitou's neck, no matter what you do it's useless—surgery is still required."

This kind of tumor cannot be dealt with by microscopic intelligent robots, after all it's large enough to be seen clearly with the naked eye.

So Zheng Ren thinks Su Yun is still a bit impatient.

After chatting for a while, Shi Huairu still had the same expression, lazily oblivious to life or death.

This time there was no task, and only then did Zheng Ren realize that last time he had actually given himself huge face and managed to exchange a few words. This time he was completely immobile; if it weren't for the clean system panel, Zheng Ren would have thought he was just a model Su Yun had casually placed on the chair.

"Why did you summon him?" Zheng Ren asked Su Yun.

"This is such a big matter—shouldn't you tell me?" Su Yun said in surprise: "Boss, Christian means to set up a lab; his nanotech is already mature, better than the technology at the United States Brookhaven National Laboratory, and it's the Bruhl Family's private property."

「……」 -> none.

Zheng Ren truly couldn't believe that an ancient family whose traces can be found in history books could be so progressive.

But thinking back to the promise Old Luo Qie gave him back then, everything fell into place naturally.

Surgery is necessary for humans, but for the Bruhl Family it's utterly meaningless.

Therefore, their focus lies in biology, not clinical surgery or treatment.

After glancing at the True Eye, Zheng Ren felt that his energy value of under 1500 points was truly insufficient.

He also didn't know how to train or what tasks to complete to gain energy value.

The Bruhl Family has already shown their sincerity; this kind of person's advantage isn't something you can just pick up for free.

Just thinking about using the True Eye, Zheng Ren feels like he's on a roller coaster, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
