Chapter 3137: 2933 Opened an Era!

2933 Opened an Era!

"Zheng, take a look at the remote surgery recording broadcast you did yesterday." After Charles finished appreciating his own surgery, he went straight to Zheng Ren and said.

After all, even a perfect appendectomy only proves the applicability of this machine; what Charles cares about is the feasibility of using this machine for high‑difficulty surgeries, such as the surgical treatment of Ge Xie Disease.

Just from the result of removing a 6.2‑kilogram spleen, one can clearly see the Understanding.

The spleen, 6.2 kg—using weight to measure surgical difficulty is indeed strange, but that is the fact.

Charles fully understood how difficult the Ge Xie Disease surgery was; plus the patient was a pregnant woman who needed a cesarean section while also having most of her spleen removed, so Charles couldn't wait to watch the surgery recording broadcast.

"Doctor, the major spleen resection on the 3D‑printed simulated human that I completed together with Su Yun was performed on real patients by our other doctors in Di Du." Zheng Ren repeated.

"I know, Zheng, you just said that; hurry up and let me see how you used the robotic arm to perform the Ge Xie Disease surgery—whether on a real patient or on the simulated human, it's a simulated surgery." Charles urged repeatedly.

As they spoke, the projection of the surgery recording broadcast appeared on the big screen, just like on a factory assembly line, with four robotic arms moving in silent coordination, and the surgery recording broadcast began.

Charles watched with great interest, unlike when he personally entered the operating cabin to perform an appendectomy; standing below, he could take in the whole picture and see more details.

Disinfection, the robotic arms held the scalpel like a pen, as if endowed with a soul, leaving a just‑right incision on the 3D‑printed simulated human.

Then another robotic arm began wiping away the bloodstains, its movements skilled and gentle, followed by electrocautery to stop the bleeding.

The coordination between the two people and the four robotic arms was exquisite down to the finest detail; without the full metallic feel and the steam‑laden factory vibe, no one would think this work could be done by those crude robotic arms.

Especially Charles, who had just performed a surgery himself, could better appreciate the difficulty of these operations.

But after a few Minute, Charles frowned, stared intently at the screen, and soon asked doubtfully, "Zheng, why do I feel this wasn't a surgery you performed yourself?"

"Doctor, it's definitely my robotic arm that I'm operating." Zheng Ren said.

"The procedure itself is fine, but the operation is too unfamiliar, completely lacking that smooth grace. I just tried operating the robotic arm, and the feel is still important. Without your affirmation, I would have thought someone else did the surgery while you stood aside giving guidance." Charles said.

At this point Zheng Ren understood Charles's meaning.

Some of the doctors observing the surgery around also noticed this, and they whispered to each other.

If Zheng Ren hadn't opened the Surgery live broadcast at Xinglin Yuan, his surgical skill would already have been recognized by everyone; otherwise, the doubts would have flooded over him like an ocean.

"Doctor, you've misunderstood." Zheng Ren laughed, "This is a remote surgery; because the network signal in Stockholm is average, the speed is too slow, there is network latency, so the surgery looks a bit rough. But during the procedure, I and Su Yun do our best to overcome the high latency and avoid mistakes in the surgery."

Zheng Ren paused, then added, "The doctor performing the surgery in Di Du is also very cautious; he merely uses our surgery as a reference and still makes various fine adjustments according to the intraoperative situation."

"Network latency." Charles said softly.

"Remote surgery is based on two points: first, the sensitivity of the robotic arm; second, the network transmission speed." Zheng Ren said.

"Charles, without 5G network, remote surgery is just nonsense." Su Yun said with wide eyes, spouting nonsense, and added a sentence.

Su Yun is best at saying half‑right, half‑wrong things; he isn't as meticulous as Zheng Ren. In fact, 4G fiber is already sufficient; 5G merely allows wireless signals as well. For a hospital, fixed positions and fixed fiber are trivial matters.

Charles neither affirmed nor denied, and continued to watch the surgery seriously.

After hearing Zheng Ren and Charles's explanations, the other doctors' doubts disappeared. Is it a network issue? The rollout of 5G network involves larger‑scale issues that doctors cannot participate in.

Everyone watched the surgery in silence.

"Zheng, how much latency is there?" Charles suddenly asked.

"It fluctuates between 80‑110 ms, mostly staying around 100 ms." Zheng Ren said.

"Or the fluctuation value?" Charles asked a rather "stupid" question. After asking, he also realized.

Network transmission speed definitely won't be a constant value; performing surgery under these conditions, especially this high‑difficulty Ge Xie Disease surgery!

Charles fell silent.

In his eyes, the originally somewhat unsmooth and ungraceful surgical process now carried another meaning.

The surgery recording broadcast had no sound; everyone in the hall was fully focused on watching the surgery, to the point that even breathing sounds were hard to hear.

All eyes in the hall were drawn to the robotic arms moving like an assembly line.

Even with a 100 ms latency, even while performing the high‑difficulty Ge Xie Disease surgery, the four robotic arms' near‑perfect coordination left everyone entranced.

Is this the template for future surgery? With robotic arms, plus 3D‑printed models, and this bold attempt, how far are we from personalized surgical crystals for each person?

Such a thought floated in Charles's mind.

He wasn't thinking about remote surgery; if it were possible, this surgical model would inevitably evolve into an era of unmanned procedures.

Unmanned surgery is different from unmanned driving. But patient data could be mailed to the hospital, the surgeon operates on the 3D‑printed simulated human, then produces crystals, and via intelligent crystals completes the surgery……

This is no daydream!

Zheng has already taken the first step, and how many changes will come next—even Charles can't say.

He watched and watched, unable to suppress the excitement of his Inner Mind, his fingers trembling slightly.

When he had just become a doctor, who would dare imagine the concept of unmanned surgery? Yet now, unmanned surgery has become a possibility!

But afterward Charles stopped thinking about future possibilities, and focused intently on the surgery proceeding on the "assembly line." Even with a 100 ms latency, the surgery remained precise and quite beautiful!

All the way until the surgery ended, Charles turned around, opened his arms, and embraced Zheng Ren.

"Zheng, you have opened an era!"
