godfather of surgery

Chapter 1154 Frontier Theories
Without hesitation, Tang Shun took Yang Ping's proposal and began establishing a laboratory in Hong Kong. This would be a research institution that would attract top talents from around the world, so that local talents could work together with talents from all over the world to contribute to the development of the country's medical science and technology. It seems that Professor Yang intends to build the Academy of Medical Sciences into a world-class medical research institution.

Next, Yang Ping began to plan the improvement of the K virus. According to Lu Xiaolu and Zhang Zhiwei, although their modified K virus was effective, the seed K virus continued to lose genetic material during the continuous iteration process, resulting in poor treatment effects after the iteration.

If this problem cannot be solved, the mass production and cost of this biological agent will be a huge issue. For effective treatment, each use of the K virus must be a modified early-stage seed product. These seed products are almost single-use; they must be used immediately after production, otherwise their effectiveness will be lost through continuous iteration. If a castrated, non-iterative K virus is used, it will quickly die during storage.

If a special technique similar to the Y-gene blocking technique can be used to block genetic material, then this problem can be easily solved, making the K virus more effective during iteration and maintaining its effects for a longer period of time.

Aren't Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu researching Tong Yongqian's genetic disease? They suspect that during a certain period of meiosis in Tong Yongqian's maternal grandfather's germ cells, the X chromosome and Y chromosome, a pair of homologous chromosomes, underwent gene recombination. Logically, recombination only occurs on non-homologous chromosomes, and homologous chromosomes rarely recombine. The Y chromosome, due to its self-protection mechanism, would be even less likely to participate in recombination.

If Tong Yongqian's maternal grandfather did indeed undergo X-chromosome-Y-chromosome gene recombination, it indicates that his chromosomes have some kind of defect. By comparing this defect with a normal Y chromosome, the key to the Y gene blocking mechanism can be found, which may solve the problem of K virus genetic material stability.

These two guys might have stumbled upon a major secret by accident. If that's the case, these two lads might actually have stumbled upon something truly valuable.

When Yang Ping came out of the office, he didn't see the Zhang brothers, Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu, so he asked the doctors in the office. They said that Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu had gone to the library to read books. It seems that these two guys are quite ambitious.

Yang Ping picked up the phone and called Xiao Wu: "You and Zhang Lin should go back to the department immediately. I'll take you to the genetics lab, which will be of great help to your research."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately put down his book and ran back to the department with Zhang Lin. Professor Yang was going to give them guidance on their research project, which was something they were very happy to do. They were usually too busy to bother him, but now that Professor Yang had offered to take them to the genetics lab, they had to seize the opportunity.

The genetics laboratory is now under the Medical Academy, and its director is Lin Lan, Su Nanchen's fiancée. She is a talented female PhD who was hired as a doctoral supervisor by Nandu Medical University at the age of 28 and has outstanding research achievements.

Yang Ping brought Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu to Nandu Medical University. The genetics lab was busy. They were now divided into a group, which was specifically responsible for studying the genetic material of the K virus. Recently, they also participated in the research on the Y chromosome blocking mechanism and the transplantation of blocking technology into the K virus.

Before coming, Yang Ping had already called Lin Lan. Lin Lan had just gone out to take care of some personal business, but said she would be back soon.

When Yang Ping arrived, Lin Lan had not yet returned, and the researchers in the lab did not know where she had gone. Yang Ping sat in the lab waiting for Lin Lan. Dr. Wen, the lab secretary, introduced the current research progress of the lab, while the other researchers sat around him. Everyone had a sense of curiosity and awe towards a genius like Yang Ping. However, Yang Ping had often come to the lab at Nandu Medical University before, and everyone knew that he was approachable and down-to-earth, so they dared to chat with him and ask him some questions.

Lin Lan returned shortly after, brought back by Su Nanchen. The two chatted and laughed, looking very happy. Seeing Yang Ping there as well, Su Nanchen immediately pulled him out of the lab.

"Brother Yang, oh, my brother, when are you free? Let's have a meal together as a family. Lin Lan and I just got our marriage certificate."

The two finally got their marriage certificate, and the fiancée became the wife. However, the two didn't care about the date. It was during working hours, so they just casually took some time to get their marriage certificate.

"I happened to be free today, and so was she, so we quickly went to get our marriage certificate. I asked a friend to help me cut in line. After getting the certificate, I came back to work. There was nothing special about it. Whenever you're free, we can go home and have a meal together. Mom said she'll be the chef." Su Nanchen was very happy.

“Absolutely, I’m available anytime and ready to answer your call,” Yang Ping said.

Su Nanchen glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and said in a low voice, "Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, you can't assign her any urgent or demanding tasks. You know she's a workaholic; she doesn't care about anything else when she's working."

"Oh, I understand. Don't worry, I've got this covered." Yang Ping seemed to understand. No wonder they got their marriage certificate without any warning. They had previously vowed to prioritize their careers and that they would only get married if they were both outstanding young men. It turned out that the biological experiment's safety measures were not in place, leading to a biological leak and causing serious consequences.

Why did you come today?

"I came to see my sister-in-law to learn some knowledge about genetics. My research project recently requires studying issues related to the Y chromosome."

"Yes, remember, don't assign tasks that are too important or too urgent."

"clear."

"Okay, I'll schedule a time with you later. You go ahead and do your work. I have surgery to perform, so I can't chat with you anymore."

Su Nanchen rushed to the operating room; he had a scheduled surgery that afternoon that he couldn't miss.

When Yang Ping returned to the genetics lab, Lin Lan had already sent someone to bring over the latest research data, but Yang Ping wasn't interested in learning about it.

"Dr. Lin, I've come today to ask you some questions. Recently, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Lu here have been collaborating on a research project related to genetics, specifically the issue of gene recombination between the Y and X chromosomes..."

Yang Ping clearly explained the general situation of the project and the current difficulties encountered.

Xiao Wu quickly provided Lin Lan with detailed data on the research topic, which she then reviewed.

"We were involved in this project too? How come I didn't know?"

Lin Lan noticed their lab's watermark on the genetic testing report and asked about it.

This question stunned everyone. Xiao Wu and Zhang Lin immediately realized that they had messed up, because they hadn't gone through the proper channels to do these tests. Instead, they had asked a friend in the lab to help them, and the friend had secretly done them at night when no one was around. The reward was a few meals.

If this gets exposed, it would be tantamount to betraying the friend who helped us.

Lin Lan looked up: "Who's in charge of this?"

The doctoral and master's students gathered around remained silent, and no one stepped forward to answer.

"Who is in charge of this project?" Lin Lan asked again.

"Who? Who's in charge of this?"

"I don't know." "Why is the report unsigned? Whoever is in charge should add their name right away. How could you be so careless?" Lin Lan didn't know that the report was secretly prepared.

"Who is it?" Secretary Dr. Wen scanned the crowd. No one had asked for leave today, so why was no one answering?

"Who are you dealing with?" Lin Lan asked Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu didn't know how to answer. Yang Ping didn't know about this either, and Xiao Wu had forgotten to tell Yang Ping beforehand.

That's strange, why isn't anyone coming out to sign autographs?
Dr. Wang, who was working for Xiao Wu Zhang Lin, was in the crowd. He was silent and had no idea how to get away with it.

Xiao Wu had a sudden inspiration: "Professor Lin, it's like this, I must apologize to you for this. Our project is a bit special, we need to be on time, and the funding is a bit insufficient, so when we came here, we asked our colleagues in the lab to help us do a test for free. But we were in a hurry at the time, and we forgot who helped us. I don't know that kind person. Later, when we came to complete the formalities, we couldn't remember who it was."

Zhang Lin looked at Xiao Wu, who was blatantly lying, and was surprised that he was so calm and composed in this situation, making his lies sound so righteous.

"You still don't have enough funding?" Lin Lan found it unbelievable; how could the Sanbo Research Institute possibly lack funding?

Xiao Wu remained calm: "The situation was special because the project had not yet been officially approved. In order to get ahead, we were temporarily funding it out of our own pockets. At that time, that brother took pity on us and, knowing that we were funding it out of our own pockets, helped us without hesitation, and told us that we must complete the formalities afterward."

Lin Lan looked around and saw that all the researchers were there: "All my colleagues from the lab are here, so why is no one responding? That's strange."

"Why didn't you approve the project? I thought you had already approved it because you were working so hard." Yang Ping was very surprised. They were now conducting experiments entirely out of their own pockets, which showed a strong spirit of scientific risk-taking.

Xiao Wu said with shame, "I don't know if this topic is valuable or not, so I'll do it myself first. If it is valuable, I'll approve it as a project. If it is not valuable, it's not ideal. Otherwise, it's a waste of research funds. No matter how much or how little money it is, it's never good to waste it."

“Yes, yes, we’re not confident about this project, so we’re taking it one step at a time and figuring it out as we go, which is why we’re doing it at our own expense first,” Zhang Lin quickly added.

Taking a step-by-step approach to research? What kind of new research method is this? The researchers around him were all dumbfounded.

If it were anyone else, Lin Lan would definitely criticize them now. How can you conduct experiments like this? Taking it one step at a time, they have no rigorous scientific spirit at all.

But these were Yang Ping's team members, and Lin Lan really didn't dare to question them casually; it might really be some kind of new research method.

"For some uncertain topics, it's difficult to make long-term plans. We can only proceed gradually with uncertainties based on special circumstances," Xiao Wu said, using a new term.

Uncertainty Principle Incremental Recommendation?

Someone immediately took out a notebook. This was a method they had never heard of before; it must be a new technology. They immediately took notes and wrote it down.

Once someone took the lead, the others immediately took out their notebooks to take notes.

This time, it was Yang Ping's turn to be dumbfounded. Xiao Wu actually knew such advanced terminology! Yang Ping remembered that he had once lectured them, mentioning that the progress of some research projects couldn't be accurately predicted; the next step could only be decided based on the results of each experiment. These projects knew where the starting point was, but the specific route couldn't be predicted, and even the project's objectives needed to be modified at any time. Yang Ping seemed to have used the term "uncertainty progressive approach" back then. He never expected this kid to use it to show off.

"Uncertainty about gradual progress?" Lin Lan pondered the phrase.

"Professor Yang, is this a new research model you've introduced?" Lin Lan asked.

Yang Ping laughed and said, "This is their masterpiece."

Their masterpiece?
Lin Lan was a little incredulous: "I first heard about a similar concept from my mentor in the United States a few days ago. I didn't expect you to have already used this method."

Lin Lan looked at Xiao Wu and Zhang Lin with new respect. It seemed that everyone who came out of the Sanbo Research Institute was a talented person.

After the extinction, it was Xiao Wu's turn to be dumbfounded. He had just slipped up and wanted to sound sophisticated, so he thought of this word. This word was also mentioned by Professor Yang in class. Anyway, he remembered it and used it naturally now. Could this be what it means to be influenced by what one hears and hears?

The doctoral and master's students around them also realized that uncertainty principle was an extremely advanced experimental method, so they started taking notes again, staring at Xiao Wu and waiting for him to say the next step.

"Is this the first project you've done using this model?" Professor Lin was very interested in the model; she had already forgotten who had signed it earlier.

Yang Ping had to admit: "This is indeed the first one."

"Could one of your colleagues spare some time to give us a lecture on the core concepts of uncertainty principle, its specific operational methods, and some supporting mathematical theories?" Lin Lan was very interested in this because her mentor had mentioned a similar concept. However, due to the involvement of some mathematical probability knowledge, her mentor had not yet developed a methodology, only proposed the concept. Now that Sanbo Hospital had actually applied the method in practice, it must have already formed a mature theory.

A lecture? Xiao Wu panicked. He had only been listening to Professor Yang's remarks during the lecture. However, he seemed to have recorded the lecture and taken notes; he would review them carefully later.

Yang Ping did indeed teach this lesson, and he even incorporated mathematical probability theory. I remember he used Bayes' theorem, but he was studying too many other things, so these weren't that important to him and he didn't pay much attention to them.

"Let's set a time then." Xiao Wu remained expressionless, even though he was panicking inside.

These two kids are pretty good; it shows they've been paying attention in class and have taken what I taught to heart.

"However, this theory is a bit complicated, involving a lot of probability knowledge, such as Bayesian theory, so it's best if everyone previews the math first, otherwise it will sound unfamiliar." Xiao Wu pretended to be serious, hoping to buy himself time to prepare the lesson.

"Then it's settled."

The Sanbo Research Institute is truly exceptional; even a casual researcher there possesses such cutting-edge knowledge. Lin Lan couldn't help but marvel at this.
