White armor

Chapter 550 Luo Hao, You Empathize

Although Luo Hao felt a little annoyed, he still dutifully went to see Technician No. 66 after the operation.

This bastard got such a strange disease, Luo Hao was helpless.

Even when he saw Technician No. 66 looking frustrated before leaving, Luo Hao was so angry that he laughed.

The condition of technician No. 66 was not too bad. After all, he was in the hospital and had surgery to solve the problem in less than 24 hours. It was much better than those who had to hold on at home for four or five days. Luo Hao estimated that he would be able to recover fully.

It was getting late and Zhuzi had finished get off work, so Luo Hao drove to Harbin.

Hadong was like a paradise, where Luo Hao forgot all the chaos and hardships of the world.

The next morning, Luo Hao got up early, made breakfast, ate a bite himself, left the food for Danizi in the pot, left a message, and drove to work.

Be in high spirits.

Haodong is like Luo Hao’s gas station.

After arriving at the hospital, Luo Hao changed his clothes and did not rush to see his patients. Instead, he went to see technician No. 66 first.

Luo Hao sent Meng Liangren and Zhuang Yan back and did not let them follow.

Although this matter will definitely be widely spread, it would be very embarrassing if I brought a group of people with me.

Technician No. 66 also has his dignity to save, at least in front of Luo Hao, he doesn't want to embarrass Old Six too much.

Luo Hao came to the Urology Department, entered the ward, and saw technician No. 66 lying straight on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

"Sixth Brother, how is it?" Luo Hao came in and asked.

"Ah..." Technician No. 66 was stunned.

The circles under his eyes were dark, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep well, or maybe he had too much fun the night before and his whole body was exhausted.

"Let me take a look." Luo Hao put on sterile gloves and began to inspect the surgical area.

Technician No. 66 didn't say anything, just lay there quietly.

After Luo Hao finished examining him, he remained silent, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

"Sixth Brother, what are you thinking about?" Luo Hao took off his gloves, twisted them in his hands, and asked while sitting beside the bed of technician No. 66.

"..."Technician No. 66 glanced at Luo Hao, his eyes were dim and lifeless.

"It's nothing. You didn't even know I was doing surgery. I used the least damaging procedure for you."

"..."Technician No. 66 still didn't speak.

"Look, you don't believe me anymore, do you?" Luo Hao said, "I bought you a test device. It's being mailed by SF Express. I think it should arrive by the time I finish the surgery."

"Equipment?" Technician No. 66 was stunned.

"It's for testing hardness. You can try it yourself when the time comes. There are numerical values. When you see them, you'll know I didn't lie to you."

“???” Technician No. 66 looked at Luo Hao, still confused.

"The team led by Pan Tingrui from the University of Science and Technology of China has developed a corpus cavernosum hardness monitoring system that can be used to assess functional impairment."

"Fuck, there is such a thing?"

"AI wearable device, published a research paper titled "A wearable adaptive penile rigidity monitoring system for assessment of erectile dysfunction" in Microsystems & Nanoengineering."

As Luo Hao spoke, he took out his mobile phone and found relevant papers for Technician No. 66.

The machine turned over very quickly. Technician No. 66 took a quick look and his eyes gradually became lively.

"Professor Luo, you said I won't become a eunuch, right?"

"I told you it wouldn't work but you didn't believe me. I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I contacted USTC yesterday and sent a sample by mail."

"Sample?" Technician No. 66 was stunned.

"It's very difficult to mass-produce the results of the laboratory. The paper will be published at the end of October, so there are only samples." Luo Hao looked into the eyes of technician No. 10 and said seriously, "You, it's okay, I said."

Technician No. 66's eyes were misty.

"You bastard, are you scared now?" Luo Hao scolded.

"Professor Luo, I was wrong. I will never wash your feet again."

"Go if you need to. It's nonsense to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage." Luo Hao said calmly, "When the stuff arrives, you can try it yourself and you will know."

"How do I try it?" Technician No. 66 looked confused, and his excitement just now was gone.

"The device that was mailed to you is a strain sensing ring that is supposed to have different elastic moduli, providing high resolution, with an accuracy of 0.1%.

And it has strong mechanical and electrical stability, maintaining more than 1000 cycles, and strong anti-interference. The integrated flexible printed circuit collects and processes the sensing signals, which are then transmitted to the host via Bluetooth for ED evaluation. "

"Can……"

"Oh, look at you. I told you a lot of things." Luo Hao looked at Technician No. 66 with disdain. "Who am I?"

"Union Medical University Luo Hao." Technician No. 66 muttered softly.

"Hahaha." Luo Hao laughed and patted Technician No. 66 on the shoulder. "Old Six, take good care of yourself. It's okay. Nothing will be affected. Once you are discharged from the hospital and rest for half a month, you will be a brave man again."

Luo Hao saw sparkling tears flowing down the corners of Technician No. 66's eyes.

Luo Hao had anticipated the worries of Technician No. 66. Yesterday, when he was in Harbin, he asked in the group whether there were any digital equipment, so he bought a prototype from USTC.

Among wearable AI devices, this is considered a side door, but the things involved are extremely serious and can be extended to all aspects of smart home.

Back in the ward, Luo Hao took Meng Liangren and Zhuang Yan to start rounds.

All our patients are in very stable condition. Qi Xiaojuan, a young graduate student who suffered spontaneous tracheal rupture yesterday, is also in stable condition.

After auscultation and physical examination, Luo Hao determined that the problem was not serious and the patient could be discharged from the hospital in a day or two.

"Brother Luo, I have a request for you." Qi Xiaojuan, with a gastric tube in her throat, looked at Luo Hao eagerly.

"If it's an unreasonable request, don't say it. Zhuzi is busy every day and is very tired." Luo Hao refused directly.

Qi Xiaojuan looked at Luo Hao disappointedly.

"I'll prepare a set of peripheral supplies for you and give it to you when you are discharged from the hospital." Luo Hao smiled.

Polite, considerate and with a sense of boundaries.

Qi Xiaojuan didn't dare to bother Luo Hao. Who knew what kind of temper this legendary senior brother Luo had.

What if I really make Senior Brother Luo unhappy and I can't get any data from my experiments?

Leaving the ward, Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Brother, I thought you could let her go play with the cat."

"Nonsense, they are always so tight-lipped. They will definitely show off by posting on WeChat Moments and Weibo. When that happens, more and more students will come to me, and I will be so annoyed."

What Luo Hao said seemed to be true, and Zhuang Yan smiled.

"Professor Luo, Director Xu came after you left yesterday and said that the patient was hospitalized and asked when you would have time to go and see him." Meng Liangren reported.

"Oh, let's go after the operation." Luo Hao thought about it and sent a message to Ye Qingqing.

"I went to see the patient yesterday. He looked so pitiful." Meng Liangren sighed.

Luo Hao did not comment.

Poor people, how can hospital patients not be pitiful? Birth, aging, illness and death, it's probably like this.

It was a kind of luck for the patient to have the surgery performed by Director Xu, to be remembered by Director Xu, and even to be found by Director Xu.

Luo Hao didn't care and went back to the office to wait for the ward rounds.

Handover, ward rounds, surgery, these are what I do almost every day.

The operation went smoothly without any accidents, but Luo Hao did not order "takeout" for lunch.

Luo Hao planned to visit the chef after get off work and tell him not to make things like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to explain it to others.

Although this was just a small matter, Luo Hao still thought it necessary to tell the chef about it.

After seeing a circle of postoperative patients, Luo Hao brought Chen Yong, Meng Liangren and Zhuang Yan to the cardiothoracic surgery department.

Without looking for Director Xu, Luo Hao went straight to the innermost single room.

I knocked on the door, and as soon as I entered the room, a cold wind blew towards me.

The window was open, and a very old-looking man, at least 60 years old, was cleaning the house.

"Hello." Luo Hao smiled and greeted politely.

His view was blocked by the bathroom and he couldn't see the patient.

"The doctor is here." The man grinned, his face wrinkled like a mountain, trying hard to smile.

"Well, let's take a look at the patient. Ye Hong, right."

"Yes, yes, yes." The man put the broom aside and wanted to reach out to shake hands with Luo Hao, but he felt dirty. He rubbed his hands hard on his pants, but still felt bad. Finally, he bowed awkwardly.

"You're so polite. I'm Professor Luo Haoluo from the Interventional Department. Director Xu found me and said he wanted to try the surgical treatment in the Interventional Department."

"Yes, yes, Director Xu told me. This is a blessing in disguise for Ye Hong."

"Ye, this name is very rare. It doesn't seem to be among the Hundred Family Surnames." Chen Yong said.

"It is said that his surname was Qi Ye, but I don't know when it was simplified to Ye." The man rubbed his hands and answered carefully.

Oh?
He looks like an old farmer who has worked hard in the fields all his life, but he still seems to have some experience when he speaks.

Luo Hao walked forward, turned his head, and saw a thin and skinny little girl.

The medical record stated that the little girl was 15 years old, but she looked only 10 years old. She was severely malnourished, had a pale face, and had visible surgical scars on the exposed skin.

It was good enough to be able to hold on to his life after the serious car accident. Luo Hao was calm and had a gentle, yet forced and friendly smile on his face.

"Hello, Xiaoye." Luo Hao said with a smile.

Both the man and the patient were stunned. This was the first time a doctor called a patient "Xiaoye".

"Hello." Ye Hong said softly.

She put down the book in her hand.

Luo Hao took a look and saw it was high school Chinese.

"I've seen the movie, how do you feel about it now?"

"Doctor, I'm hungry." Ye Hong whispered, "I... I don't want to have surgery because it costs too much. But one time I was talking in my sleep, and my dad heard me shouting that I was hungry, so he came to ask Director Xu for help."

"???"

Luo Hao didn't expect this to be the case.

"I'm used to it. I bring things in from here every day."

As he spoke, the little patient revealed his gastrostomy tube.

The tube in the stoma pumps chyme into the body. There is no chewing process, it just provides a way of nutrition.

Rounding it off, it’s roughly equivalent to losing weight all the time.

"I'm used to it and don't want surgery. Doctor, how much will it cost? I think it must be very expensive. I don't want surgery, it's fine this way." Ye Hong looked up at Luo Hao, and the scar near her sternoclavicular joint was also exposed. "I checked, interventional surgery uses high-value consumables, and any one of them costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Our family can't afford it..."

"Xiaohong, what are you talking about!" The man hurriedly stopped her, "Director Xu specially arranged a single room for us so that you can recover faster after the operation."

"Dad, we don't have any money!" The little girl stared at the man with wide eyes, and then looked at Luo Hao, "Professor Luo, I heard from Director Xu that you are a practitioner, so I have been waiting for you to come."

“I don’t want surgery!”

The father and daughter started arguing.

Although the little girl's voice was weak, she was very stubborn and refused to give in.

After listening for a while, Luo Hao roughly understood what was going on.

He smiled and stood next to the little girl, "What if your surgery doesn't cost money?"

"No money?! I won't do it. I accept my fate." Ye Hong was stunned, then said through gritted teeth.

This girl is so stubborn! She won't do it without spending money.

"Xiaohong! How can you talk to Professor Luo like that!" the man scolded.

"I not only want to eat, I also want to walk. Is that possible? Wake up, Dad. I can't go back."

"..." Luo Hao looked at the precocious little girl silently.

"I am alive, can go to school, and can enter university. It's already good. I don't feel any regrets." Ye Hong pursed her lips, "I am a patient. I refuse surgery!"

"That's right. Your case is quite special. It is a rare disease among rare diseases."

Luo Hao interrupted the old man and stopped him and Ye Hong to explain gently.

"The method of surgery is also quite special. If you can bear the consequences, I can try to make you eat, or even try to make you walk."

"???"

"???"

"But I need a video of the surgery." Luo Hao consoled him gently, "The instruments needed for the surgery are very expensive. I won't hide it from you. Not only your family, but 99% of the families in the country can't afford it. To be honest, you are the equivalent of a guinea pig in scientific research."

"If you agree and cooperate, money is not a problem."

"How about it?"

Ye Hong's firm belief suddenly collapsed.

She doesn't believe in pie in the sky, but what if it's an exchange?
"In our medical industry, patients undergoing public surgery can enjoy similar treatment. For example, the interventional department had more contact with Japanese experts and professors in the beginning."

"It's a particularly large and difficult operation. Domestic experts invited Japanese teachers to perform three surgeries." Luo Hao held up three fingers and gestured, "The whole process must be recorded, but all costs are free."

"Doctors also need to learn, and new technologies also need people to test them. This is not only about curing diseases and saving lives, but also has much deeper meanings."

"That's probably what it means. Do you understand?"

The little girl was stunned and began to hesitate.

"Don't worry, let me take a look at your situation. I'm not sure if it can be done." Luo Hao said with a smile, "Don't you think so?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the little girl finally nodded.

Children from poor families have to grow up early, and this child is not bad, Luo Hao thought to himself.

After undressing, Luo Hao saw that the little girl's body was covered with surgical scars.

I had heard Director Xu say before that she had undergone more than ten or twenty operations, but that was just an abstract concept. Now, this patient who had been ravaged by fate for many years appeared alive in front of Luo Hao.

She is no longer abstract, but has flesh and blood. The world is like hell to her.

The high school Chinese textbook next to me is a bit glaring as a background.

Luo Hao examined Ye Hong very carefully and it took him a full ten minutes to help her put on her clothes.

"Whether to have the surgery or not, discuss it with your father." Luo Hao made up his mind, "I can guarantee that it won't cost a penny, but I can't say whether the surgery will be successful or not."

"Is it really a demonstration operation?" Ye Hong asked Luo Hao.

"Well, if you agree, dozens or even hundreds of experts will come to see you in a while to examine you and understand your condition."

"!!!" There was a hint of light in the little patient's eyes.

"I'm not kidding either. If you don't believe me, I can let you walk first."

"???"

"???"

"???"

Countless question marks appeared in everyone's mind.

"Do you want to have surgery?"

"No, it's an exoskeleton that allows you to walk mechanically." Luo Hao smiled. "If you want to walk by yourself, you have to wait for the experts at Gongda to make a breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology. But it will be soon. The neurological research in the capital has already enabled a paralyzed patient to walk."

“!!!” The expression on Ye Hong’s face froze.

"That patient received an experimental surgery like yours. Although the risks are high, there are always benefits. I'm not saying that it will definitely be cured, but there is always a glimmer of hope. Isn't life all about dreams?"

The little patient stopped talking and her eyes became confused.

"Okay, you two can discuss it first." Luo Hao smiled, "Little girl, technology is advancing very fast. Many things are not in books. Just reading books is not enough. You have to travel thousands of miles."

After saying that, Luo Hao turned and left.

"Are you soft-hearted?" Chen Yong leaned close to Luo Hao's ear and asked.

"I want to do liquid metal magnetic surgery. You know shit."

"My master said that empathy is bad." Chen Yong said sarcastically, "But is the exoskeleton you mentioned real or fake?"

"Of course it's real. I've seen it in Professor Li's laboratory. I'll give it to her for an experiment, but it needs to be custom-made. Please try to make it as soon as possible."

Luo Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? I think it's the exoskeleton used by the People's Liberation Army? If it's armored, it's a Gundam?"

Chen Yong was obviously interested.

"That's about right." Luo Hao nodded, "But armor doesn't make much sense. There are drones, robot dogs, and robot spiders everywhere in the mountains. If you rush in with a Gundam, you'll be blown away in an instant."

"It can be used as a wooden ox and flowing horse to provide logistical support. But the kind you imagine does not exist at all. The human form is too stupid."

"Tsk, tsk, is there a video? Let me take a look."

Luo Hao nodded and returned to the interventional doctor's office. He took out his cell phone and contacted Professor Li.

The exoskeleton is just a side project for Professor Li's research topic and is not difficult.

Soon Professor Li sent a video.

A... you could say a machine is placed in a laboratory, similar to the calves of mechas and Gundams, sturdy and textured.

"You said the Communist army doesn't have Gundam!" Chen Yong murmured.

“This is a wearable exoskeleton robot.”

"I wouldn't suggest it's a robot."

"That's pretty much what I mean. Why are you so serious about it? Did your blood boil when you saw the mecha?" Luo Hao asked with a smile.

Chen Yong didn't refute, just nodded.

He clicked pause, looked up and asked, "Luo Hao, can the mecha have a conductive device?"

"???"

Luo Hao was stunned for a few seconds, but then he remembered what Chen Yong was obsessed with - overcoming the tribulation.

"It depends on how high the voltage is. If the lightning strikes without causing any damage, it shouldn't be difficult."

Chen Yong was not excited, he just nodded slightly and opened the video.

In the video, Professor Li installed the legs of a motionless humanoid robot into a wearable exoskeleton robot, and then made the humanoid robot stand up.

The wearable exoskeleton robot has the ability to walk automatically, can understand some simple commands, and uses a front-docking method.

"Isn't this just an electric wheelchair?" Chen Yong looked at the exoskeleton robot in the video and saw it start to walk with some disdain.

“It can go.”

At first, the exoskeleton robot glided, and after a few steps, it stretched out its legs and tried to walk.

The floor of the laboratory is flat, which makes it easy to wear the exoskeleton robot.

Soon, under the control of Professor Li, it turned around, walked out of the laboratory door and came to the stairwell.

Chen Yong witnessed the exoskeleton robot walking down the stairs step by step.

“It does look interesting.”

"Well, although it is different from the Imperial Capital's neuron electrical stimulation that can make paralyzed patients stand up, it is still very crude, but at least it can 'walk'."

Chen Yong shrugged. He was not very satisfied with what Luo Hao said about walking.

But considering the current level of technology, it is indeed satisfactory to be able to achieve this level of walking.

"What Professor Li makes is really good and can all be sold for money," commented Chen Yong.

"This is not called selling for money. There are enough application scenarios and civilian applications," Luo Hao corrected.

"Luo Hao, help me make a mecha that can withstand lightning!!"

"Mechas are outdated." Luo Hao looked at Chen Yong, "What if you were to survive the catastrophe and the drones flying in the sky were all conductive drones?"

"That won't work either. Without the mecha, I won't feel safe at all." Chen Yong said seriously.

"Times are advancing. The Type 003 was released three years later because electromagnetic catapults suddenly became mature. The H-3 has not been released yet. I guess it's because new technologies are constantly maturing and can be perfectly integrated into the old bomber.

Moreover, large drones can perfectly take over its functions, so it is not very useful. This is the embarrassment of the rapid advancement of technology and the inability to finalize it. "

"That's too far. Please help me design something I can use to survive the catastrophe."

Luo Hao was a little surprised, but then he thought that Chen Yong couldn't use it, but the old immortal who had money to cover his position but no money to fix his teeth might be able to use it.

No wonder Chen Yong couldn't forget it.

"Okay, I'll talk to Professor Li and think of a solution for your teacher." Luo Hao agreed to the deal.

For Luo Hao, it didn't seem very difficult, but he didn't know what kind of thunder the old immortal's heavenly tribulation would be.

It should be thunder, not something invisible and intangible, such as aging.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yong asked when he saw Luo Hao start to ponder.

"No, I'm thinking about how much electrical energy the largest lightning contains, and how a humanoid mecha can withstand it. In fact, the posture of the water bug bear is very good, almost immortal, why not consider it?"

"No, it's too ugly!"
