Chapter 1107 You Won’t Get Drunk

"Professor Yang, your space-guided gene theory has opened the door to a new world. Its significance is not just as simple as local organ cloning in the laboratory. It also provides a theoretical basis for the repair of original cells in the human body. On this basis, the future of trauma surgery will also undergo earth-shaking changes." Professor Lehman said excitedly.

Professor Maninstein nodded. "For example, the repair of spinal cord and peripheral nerve injuries has always been a difficult problem in world medicine. Although many doctors and scientists have been researching it unremittingly, there has been no substantial breakthrough in its research, and it is impossible to make a substantial breakthrough because there has been no breakthrough in the basic theory. Now, with the support of your theory, I have started the research on the repair of peripheral nerve injury with primary cells, and have made some breakthroughs. I used mice as experimental subjects, and the repair of their spinal nerve injuries has achieved partial primary cell repair."

The so-called original cell repair means that after the human tissue is damaged, the "material" used for repair is still the original "material". From a microscopic point of view, it is repaired by the original cells of the tissue. It looks simple, but it is very difficult to achieve. In addition to bone damage, the human body can be repaired by original cells. Damage to other organs and tissues cannot be repaired by original cells. Instead, part of the original cells and part of the connective tissue are mixed to repair. This is why scars are easily left after skin damage.

If all injuries to the human body can be repaired by original cells in the future, then skin injuries will not leave any scars, and there is no need to worry about the recovery of nerve damage, as it will recover in a few weeks or months.

"Yes, in addition to the field of original cell repair, the content of the entire human gene genetics has also been expanded and entered a new development platform. If the original highest dimension of genetics was only two-dimensional, now because of your theory, human genetics has been brought into three-dimensional space research. All previous research on biological genetics has never realized that the three-dimensional space structure can be guided by genes. In fact, now think about it carefully, if it is not guided by genes, who will guide it? When so many cells in the human body construct the human body, why don’t they lay out a two-dimensional plane, but can construct three-dimensional complex shapes? Is it random? Of course not, is it natural to do so? Obviously not, that is just an incompetent excuse." Mr. Lehman said with deep emotion.

"After reading your theory, sometimes I would look at myself in the mirror. I am made up of countless cells, but why do I have such a three-dimensional structure? Who is behind all this? Now you have given me the answer."

"It's like a house, which is made of simple steel bars and cement. However, whether it's strips of steel bars or piles of cement, they don't have complex shapes. Who built these simple materials into a majestic, beautiful and complex building? In the past, biology was limited to studying steel bars and cement themselves, studying the structure and function of the house, but we never studied how steel bars and cement built this complex building. Behind them are architectural drawings, designers, workers, etc. They built accurately according to the drawings to create a tall and complex building. Your theory truly connects cells with the human body. In the past, all of this was actually separated. Everyone thought they knew the process: cells form tissues, tissues form organs, organs form systems, and systems form a complete human body. In fact, they knew nothing and only stayed at: sugar tastes sweet, so sugar is sweet."

"For the cloning of local organs, researchers are trying to use modern biological 3D printing technology to complete all of this, which seems to be correct. Of course, I don't know if it is correct. Only in the future can we make a true judgment. But I personally think that to truly use 3D printing technology to replicate human organs, we must figure out how cells build organs. If this is not clear, it is like not figuring out what the real thing looks like. How can we use the real thing to replicate the imitation? So in fact, Professor Yang's theory also guides the future development direction of biological 3D printing technology. One day in the future, 3D printing technology will be able to print qualified customized human organs in factories."

"That's why your theory is so important. For this reason, we don't plan to share this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine or Biology with anyone else. We want you to keep it all to yourself, so that it will be worthy of your research results."

Yang Ping, Mainstein, Lehman and others, originally everyone just sat down to chat, but unexpectedly, when they gathered together, a small academic salon quietly began.

"Before your theory came out, I was very confused, really, very depressed and confused. I thought medicine was dead, or at least had entered a dormant period. I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel, and the future was bleak. But after your theory came out, I felt that the future of medicine was bright, and there was a brand new world in front of us." Professor Mannstein was as compassionate as a poet.

"Tumors, infectious diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, countless diseases plague humans. Humans have finally controlled some diseases, and then other diseases pop up. They are like gophers. You hit one and another pops up."

"If we calm down and examine ourselves, you will find that we have stagnated in the treatment of diseases. The seemingly minor progress is not due to the progress of medicine and biology itself, but the progress of physical technology such as sound, light, and electromagnetics, or chemical technology. This progress has a strong tool improvement, not real progress in medicine itself. For example, the basic theory of endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis is to remove the inflamed appendix. The difference is that in the past, it was removed directly under the naked eye, but now with the help of optical and electronic technology, a few small holes are made to remove the appendix. Therefore, there is no substantial progress in theory. In the past, wooden swords were used, but now they are just replaced by iron swords. However, people often get complacent about these minor progress and mistakenly think that they have started running."

"Major manufacturers have discovered this secret, and they are concentrating their talent and capital on these areas, because real progress in medicine is difficult and laborious, while these advances are relatively easy and obvious, and more importantly, can bring huge profits."

Discussions on medical technology gradually began to take on a humanistic aspect.

"Of course, any progress is worth encouraging, but we should also be vigilant. These new tools have been overused, such as robotic surgery. Overuse has brought a heavy economic burden to patients. However, this is also a contradiction. If we don't do this, no one will actively promote the progress of these tools. The progress of tools is also progress."

Mannstein's assistant has sent out several boxes of books. This popular science book can be said to be the best popular explanation of Yang Ping's theory. Everyone wants to gain an understanding of this theory. In order to maintain long-term and stable communication with Yang Ping, many world-class scholars have learned to use WeChat. Everyone has downloaded WeChat on their mobile phones, added Yang Ping's WeChat, and then formed various academic groups.

They suddenly found that this instant online communication method is very useful, much better than the previous email communication. They can communicate when they want to communicate, and ignore when they don’t want to communicate. There is no such thing as disturbing private space. In the past, they refused to use these instant messaging tools on the grounds of maintaining private space, but it was just an excuse for their backward communication methods. They found out how backward they were before, and they were still used to communicating by email.

A few days ago, a group of scholars visited Yang Ping's laboratory, changing their misconceptions about China's scientific research environment. After visiting the laboratory, many Chinese scientists began to consider returning to China.

In fact, this is true. The domestic scientific research environment, whether it is the software environment or the hardware environment, is already very good. Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects, it will gradually get better in the future. The world itself is not perfect.

"Xiao Yang, some seniors over there want to talk to you." Professor Su came over and whispered something to Yang Ping.

Yang Ping found that Professor Liang, Professor Xiang and other senior professors were greeting him not far away. He was busy chatting with Professors Maninstein, Lehman and others, ignoring others. Yang Ping immediately greeted Professor Maninstein and Lehman, explained the situation, and then went to see Professor Liang immediately.

After chatting with Professor Liang for a while, Yang Ping hurried to find Director Han and Dean Xia, who were the ones who gave him the greatest support. But he couldn't find them after searching for a long time.

At this time, Director Han and Dean Xia were hiding in a remote smoking room smoking.

Dean Xia poked his head outside and said, "It's almost time. Let's go shake hands with Xiao Yang and congratulate him."

"He's busy now. Why would we go out and cause trouble? If I don't talk to you, you'll feel left out. If I talk to you more, there are so many people here today. If everyone talks a little, our voices will be hoarse and we won't have the energy to do that. Let's just hide here. We'll have plenty of time to talk later." Director Han pushed Dean Xia back when he was about to poke his head out.

Dean Xia thought about it and agreed, "That makes sense. You said Xiao Yang wouldn't be ignorant. When he's happy, he'll take a sip whenever someone holds up a glass of red wine to toast him. There are so many people here today, one sip each is enough. It's really annoying. I hope he won't get drunk."

"Don't worry. I've already told a few young graduate students to follow him with wine. The bottle contains a healthy drink with a hint of wine red. I've told the younger ones to keep a close eye on Xiao Yang's glass and not to let anyone else pour real wine into it."

"We're not getting married, I'm so happy I'm afraid I'll get drunk later."

"Don't be afraid. Xiong Sihai and several other people in the hospital who are good at drinking are following behind us. Director Qiu has also arranged a few young men who can drink a lot to follow us. Anyone who dares to force someone to drink will be caught dead."

"That's pretty much it."
