White armor

Chapter 559: Mecha! Mecha!!

"Why are there so many people?" Boss Chai looked around and snapped his fingers.

Erhei happily ran to Boss Chai and put his head close to him, being unusually well-behaved.

Boss Chai rubbed Erhei's head, with a simple and sincere smile on his face, as if he saw bamboo.

"Xiao Chen." Boss Chai looked around, saw Chen Yong, and waved.

"Boss." Chen Yong came over with a smile on his face, just like Luo Hao, and the arrogance he had just shown to Director Cao was gone.

"You're not bad." Boss Chai said with a smile, "I heard that the editor-in-chief of The New England is very close to you? How did you get that relationship?"

Director Cao quickly pricked up his ears.

He also couldn't understand why a young doctor from the Donglian Mine could talk to the editor-in-chief of the New England. If you didn't know, you would think he was the editor-in-chief's illegitimate son.

"Boss, he's trying to get close to me. In the words of the British upper class, he's a pariah. Talking to me more will be good for his social status. That wall is so strong..."

Seeing that Boss Chai looked unhappy, Chen Yong quickly explained, "Didn't I receive the honor when the queen was alive? In fact, I don't like the way they distinguish between nobles and untouchables. We Chinese people believe that generals and ministers are not of the same species, and men should be self-reliant."

"From a social class perspective, he is very different from me."

Boss Chai smiled and nodded. Director Cao was stunned. How much difference? From what Chen Yong said, publishing a paper in the New England Journal seemed to give them face.

This is completely different from what I imagined.

"So I haven't bothered you to publish in The Lancet recently. I'll just publish in The New England Journal first."

"If you have any good articles, please send them to me via email. You know my email address, right?"

"I know, I know." Chen Yong said with a smile.

Director Cao was very excited. It was like a treasure trove to publish a paper in a top journal!

Boss Chai turned his head to look at Meng Liangren, "Old Meng."

"Boss Chai, I dare not, Xiao Meng, Xiao Xiao Meng."

"Xiao Luohao said that. I've heard it many times, so I just called it once. It doesn't matter." Boss Chai still had some childishness. "You are really lucky. Really lucky."

Meng Liangren bowed repeatedly, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to say.

"You showed up when Xiao Luohao was just forming its own team. It's easy to leave a mark on a blank piece of paper, but after a few years, when the painting is gradually completed, if you want to leave a mark again, you need to use thick ink and heavy colors."

Boss Chai said, raising his hand and patting Meng Liangren on the shoulder to comfort him, "You are lucky. In life, luck is also a part of strength."

Finally, Boss Chai gave Meng Liangren a characterization and praised him.

"Zhuang Yan."

"Boss, I've attended your class." Zhuang Yan came over with her high ponytail shaking.

Her face was full of adoration.

"I heard from Xiao Luohao that you are pretty good at folding paper cranes. Although the basic skills of Peking University students are a little lacking, as long as they work hard, they can still catch up with our Union Medical College students."

"..."

Zhuang Yan sighed in her heart.

People who graduated from Union Medical College are good in every way, but their attitude of "God is the boss and I am second to you" is really annoying.

But the person in front of me...Zhuang Yan really doesn't know what to say.

Not to mention Boss Chai, Senior Brother has said this many times, and Zhuang Yan didn't dare to refute.

She could only nod obediently to show that she understood.

"Not bad." Boss Chai patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder to show encouragement.

After talking to the medical team members present, Boss Chai's eyes fell on the face of the oldest director Geng. He looked Director Geng up and down, as if recalling where he had seen him before.

"Chai... Chai..." Director Geng stuttered and wanted to say hello, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Who are you?" asked Boss Chai.

"Boss." Director Qian leaned over and whispered in Boss Chai's ear, "It was Director Geng who came to Union Hospital for further studies 22 years ago. There was a small problem during the operation, and you scolded him."

Boss Chai thought about it and completely forgot about it. He smiled slightly.

22 years ago, I could still perform surgery at will. It was a good time. Thinking of this, Boss Chai looked at Director Geng with a slightly softer gaze.

"..." Luo Hao had never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Director Qian, you were the one who took care of me at that time." Director Geng tried to get close to him.

"Hehe." Director Qian had a fierce look on his face, and his two chuckles were filled with murderous intent.

"What are they here for?" asked Boss Chai.

"Oh, that's what I just told you about. Seven or eight years ago, this man performed an operation before he retired, and he left the gauze in the patient's abdominal cavity."

Boss Chai frowned, his eyes as sharp as lightning, and looked at Director Geng.

"I remember that year when he was performing an operation at Union Hospital, the nurse checked and said that a piece of gauze was missing. She searched for half an hour and you were the one who impatiently started scolding the nurse."

Director Geng was sweating profusely.

"Yes." Director Qian said seriously, "You were very angry at the time and you stopped his qualification for further studies and sent him back to his hometown."

"Oh, it's just a small matter, can't you just be more careful?" Boss Chai shook his head, "Why didn't you learn your lesson after going home? By the way, Xiao Luohao, is it also their hospital that starts chemotherapy and radiotherapy as soon as they see a tumor, regardless of whether it is benign or malignant?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing?" Boss Chai said lightly, then waved his hand.

"You two, the boss needs to see a patient. If you have nothing else, please leave first." Luo Hao said to Director Cao with a smile.

"..."

Director Cao was cursing in his heart.

Who would have thought that our boss would cause such a big trouble when he was studying at Union Medical College 22 years ago.

If a piece of gauze is missing, you cannot scold the nurse on the operating table, even in the early 21st century when medical management was not strict.

That was the Union Hospital, not our own provincial hospital! Although it was wrong to curse people in the provincial hospital, it was our own hospital after all, so we cursed and no one would pursue it.

This is fine.

At that time, Mr. Chai directly suspended his qualification for further studies, and 22 years later, he was kicked out of the office of the first grade of Medical University.

Director Cao nodded dejectedly, and Director Geng turned and left dejectedly like a stray dog.

"Boss, let me show you something interesting." Luo Hao did not continue talking about things that would make the boss angry, but spoke mysteriously.

"What kind of fun fishing is this?" Boss Chai also changed the subject.

This is how society works; no one can escape the diversity of species.

Even if he is Boss Chai, he still has to face these things, and more importantly, he has to be humble and live in harmony with the world.

Just don't be angry. The most important thing is to do your job well.

"Oh, it's not fishing." Luo Hao said, "It's like this, the patient was paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident, and also had esophageal atresia. Originally, the patient refused surgery, but I told her that I could let her stand up and walk."

"Huh? Have you made a breakthrough in your neural network research?" Boss Chai was surprised.

"No, no, it's an external mechanical skeleton, but it's a little different from what we usually see."

Boss Chai's eyes lit up.

Xiao Luohao is really good at thinking up new things. No, this is not his research, it must have been made by a laboratory in Harbin Institute of Technology.

Luo Hao didn't keep the secret and just now he got scolded by his boss after asking "guess what".

Luo Hao knew that with the bamboo, the boss was becoming more and more rude to him.

It's inevitable that there will be a generation gap. He turned back to the duty room to get the mechanical exoskeleton, and soon came back with Meng Liangren dragging a large box.

"Let me see what this good stuff is." Boss Chai was curious.

When the box was opened, two lower limb mechanical exoskeletons were found inside.

The matte-colored mechanical exoskeleton looks mysterious and full of power.

They just look a little small to try.

Luo Hao turned on the mechanical exoskeleton, and the rustling sound of the electric drive was heard.

"Boss, this is a joystick that allows the patient to control the pace and direction of walking."

"How's the balance?" asked Boss Chai.

"It's very good. It's very heavy, and the power supply is also good. It can travel for an hour on a single charge. If there is any progress in energy storage equipment in the future, we can replace it with the latest battery to increase the travel time."

Boss Chai nodded, quite satisfied with this.

Luo Hao also knew his boss's temper. It didn't matter whether it was technological or not. What mattered was how it could be applied.

If the technology is developed just to speculate on stock prices, the boss will not even look at it.

But as long as it can be used in practice, the boss will still be very interested even if it doesn't look so high-end.

The two legs walked back and forth on the ground, making a rustling sound, and it was obvious that Erhei had changed shape.

Boss Chai can understand the principle behind this, it’s actually not difficult.

He stroked Erhei's hair with satisfaction and said, "Let's go and see the little patient named Yehong. It's really rare to see someone with the last name Ye."

"Okay, boss." Luo Hao snapped his fingers, and Erhei came to Luo Hao. The mechanical arms grabbed the two mechanical exoskeletons and put them on his back.

"Wow, besides being cute, it's really useful!" Boss Chai laughed and was even more satisfied with Erhei.

"The robots in the catheterization room are now communicating with patients more and more fluently, but we still have to keep running around. Boss, I'm here..."

"Tell me what you want later." Boss Chai stood up, Luo Hao led the way, and Erhei walked out of the office with a rustling sound carrying the mechanical exoskeleton.

When I arrived at the cardiothoracic surgery department, the resident chief was already asleep, and only the front-line doctor on duty was writing the medical records.

Luo Hao didn't disturb him and took Boss Chai directly to the ward.

Ye Hong was sitting on the bed reading a book.

She was so thin and dry that she looked like she was made of paper. A gust of wind could blow her away. The thick book was like a ballast stone, pressing down on Ye Hong.

"Yehong, this is Doctor Chai, the author of the general surgery textbook." Luo Hao introduced briefly.

The little patient's eyes lit up.

Boss Chai smiled, pressed his hands down, signaled the patient's family not to move, and began to examine the little patient.

Having read the medical records countless times, Boss Chai has a clear idea of ​​the little patient's condition.

After the physical examination, Boss Chai understood the difficulty of the operation even more.

The patient's physical condition is particularly poor, and the damage from some major surgeries is difficult for him to bear. The magnetic surgery suggested by Luo Hao should be a better choice.

Boss Chai has done a little research on magnetic surgery, but he always feels that it is not mature yet, so he has not gone into it in depth. After all, his energy is limited now.

However, Boss Chai did not expect that this technology would be brought to his attention by Xiao Luohao so quickly.

"Hello, Dr. Chai."

"Well, you too, Xiao Yehong." Boss Chai said with a smile, "Doctor Luo brought you a mechanical exoskeleton, try it first. During the operation, you can walk to the operating room." The little patient had already seen the two legs carried by the mechanical panda, but she didn't expect that they were prepared for her.

I thought it was Dr. Chai’s “crutch”.

"Boss, let me do it." Luo Hao walked to the bed, took off the mechanical exoskeleton on Erhei and placed it 1 meter away from the bed.

Boss Chai didn't say anything and just looked at Luo Hao quietly.

"Here, this is the remote control." Luo Hao handed the remote control to the little patient, "Click this button and it will go to the designated location. The location can be set."

After making the settings, Luo Hao signaled the little patient to press the start button.

The little patient was confused and clicked start. A rustling sound was heard and the mechanical exoskeleton actually walked towards him step by step.

There are connections between them, and from a distance they look like a pair of half-legs walking towards you from a horror movie.

But the room was full of people, so it didn't feel scary.

"Try to put your legs down." Luo Hao did not help the little patient, but let her hang her legs down by herself.

Looking at the little patient's struggling appearance, Luo Hao still did not move.

Meng Liangren wanted to help, but when he saw Luo Hao didn't move, he stopped halfway. Seeing the little patient moving with difficulty, he tried to step forward several times, but suddenly his sleeve was pulled. He turned his head and looked back. It was Zhuang Yan.

"Don't move." Zhuang Yan whispered, stopping Meng Liangren.

It took the little patient five full minutes to lower his legs.

"Buzz~~~" a subtle sound was heard, and a red line scanned. There was a lifting device inside the mechanical exoskeleton. The legs came to the legs of the little patient and automatically fitted to her legs.

Boss Chai's eyes brightened. He saw that the little patient did not make any other movements during the whole process except hanging his legs down.

"Boss, this thing looks very practical." Director Qian commented in a low voice.

"Well, let's see how you walk. I hope you don't fall." said Boss Chai.

Like a mecha warrior transforming, with a few crisp clicks, the little patient's legs were gathered in the mechanical exoskeleton.

The buckle is snapped on firmly, and the inner layer has an inner lining, which will not abrade the skin of the lower limbs of young patients.

The mechanical exoskeleton then began to rise and embraced the little patient's thigh.

With the power of the mechanical exoskeleton, the little patient slowly "stood up".

"Ah~~~"

"Don't be nervous, don't use force, just go with the flow." Luo Hao hurriedly supported the little patient, fearing that she would cause greater harm due to nervousness.

"I'm not nervous, not nervous, I'm just happy." The little patient waved his fists excitedly.

"Professor Luo, you gave it to me?"

"Ah."

Luo Hao smiled, and was relieved to see that the little patient was indeed not nervous.

Shashasha~~~
The mechanical exoskeleton took two steps.

The little patient became even more excited, and a blush appeared on her pale cheeks. She could finally walk with the assistance of the machine!

"Look, this is a joystick, you can control the direction. But the mechanical exoskeleton has its own measures to control danger. If you operate it improperly, it will take over." Luo Hao began to teach the young patients how to control the mechanical exoskeleton.

"Yeah, yeah!" Ye Hong nodded repeatedly.

The little patient learned very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, she was able to control the mechanical exoskeleton and walk back and forth in the room.

The little patient's face flushed with excitement, and the unhealthy paleness was gone.

Walking has been her dream for many years, and she never expected that her dream would come true one day.

"Okay, stop playing secretly at night." Luo Hao warned, "Tomorrow a specialist will come to see your condition, so you must sleep well, and don't be unable to get up when the specialist comes."

"Okay!" Ye Hong nodded vigorously.

"I didn't lie to you." Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Um!!!"

The little patient didn't know what to say and just kept nodding, with only one sound coming out of his mouth at most.

"I was worried before." Boss Chai said softly.

"Boss, that won't happen." Director Qian and Boss Chai are in sync and know that the boss is worried that he will become paralyzed on one side of his body when he gets old. It would be a headache if he couldn't control his hands, either left or right or up or down.

But the emergence of this mechanical exoskeleton can reassure the boss to a certain extent.

Even if my body is not working well, it does not affect my walking. Once I become proficient in it, it will seem no different from my own body.

Director Qian stared at the little patient who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton and trying to walk, and felt that it was a bit like the mecha in the movie.

The only difference is that the mecha is for the whole body, while the mechanical exoskeleton that Luo Hao gave to the little patient is only for half of the body.

Director Qian is a little confused as the science fiction of the past is gradually becoming reality.

He felt like he was dreaming.

Director Qian was also very fascinated by mechas. There is no man who doesn't like this thing.

But now, expensive mechas cannot appear on the battlefield at all. The battlefield is dominated by unmanned equipment. Mechas are a burden on the real battlefield and have almost no place to use.

However, mechas have become a "tool" to assist patients in hospitals.

Very good, really very good.

Looking at the cheering little patient, a smile broke out on Director Qian's fierce face.

But even though he smiled, he looked even more frightening.

"Xiao Qian, what do you think if one day I were to..."

"Boss, say something auspicious." Director Qian said seriously, "Didn't Chen Yong calculate your life expectancy? You are still young, up to 100 years old."

Boss Chai smiled, obviously not taking Chen Yong's calculations seriously.

Even if he really hoped so, Boss Chai had been a materialist all his life, so how could he believe Chen Yong?

The mechanical exoskeleton in front of him made Boss Chai's eyes light up and feel palpitations.

After watching the little patient move around for a few minutes, Luo Hao forced her back to bed.

After the mechanical exoskeleton was removed, the little patient felt lost.

Luo Hao felt a little emotional. Young people have a strong ability to accept new things. It seemed like she had known about the existence of mechanical exoskeletons for a long time and was not surprised at all.

And he adapted very quickly, as if he had used a powered exoskeleton before.

"I turned it off for you. I'm the only one who knows the power-on password recently." Luo Hao said.

"what?"

"You haven't had the surgery yet, so you need to take good care of yourself." Luo Hao said seriously, "You can eat after the surgery. By then, this..."

As he spoke, Luo Hao picked up the gastrostomy tube and said, "You can take it off and throw it away."

"!!!"

"When the time comes, you will wear beautiful clothes, control a mechanical exoskeleton and go shopping. You will go to the amusement park with your classmates, go to school, take the high-speed train, and go to study in an unfamiliar city."

Luo Hao painted a picture of the future for the little patient.

It is a beautiful picture.

From then on, life was full of splendor and beauty, no longer dull and sad as before that could be seen at a glance.

And Luo Hao was the person who painted this picture personally.

"Little Conch, is this thing difficult to make?"

After leaving the ward, Boss Chai asked.

"It's not difficult, it's very simple." Luo Hao replied, "Boss, look at Erhei and the compression robots in the interventional catheter room. Their technological content is much higher than the detachable exoskeleton just now."

"But why haven't you seen it?"

"It doesn't make money." Luo Hao said with some regret, "As a commodity, if it doesn't make money, few manufacturers will produce it. I got this one in the laboratory of Harbin Institute of Technology. It is not a standard product."

"Oh, that's it."

"Boss, don't think about it, you won't be able to use it."

"Oh?"

"Given your health, in a few years, stem cells will be able to reproduce and grow automatically, and new organs can be 3D printed. By the way, I saw them using stem cells to cultivate Wagyu beef in the laboratory building of Harbin Institute of Technology."

"???"

"???"

"It's beef, Longjiang Wagyu. I won't go into detail about the process, growing, printing, and selling. Unfortunately, the cost is too high. A bite of cultivated Longjiang Wagyu beef probably costs more than 100,000 yuan."

"Oh, going from 0 to 1 is the most difficult. It's good enough if you can do it. After that, you can reduce costs and increase efficiency little by little. It's not difficult." Boss Chai doesn't care about the price, he only cares whether it exists.

"Yes, I mean you should stop speculating, it's meaningless." Luo Hao said with a smile, "You have seen the explosion of technology in recent years."

Boss Chai nodded slightly.

"The US's technological progress is reflected in research institutes, while ours is all in factories, on the front lines. I think this is the biggest difference, and in the future that we can see with our naked eyes, there will be more new things appearing."

Boss Chai was quite interested in this.

"Boss, you have to help me prepare for approval."

"Approval for unmanned hospitals? It won't pass, forget it." Boss Chai said confidently, "Capital is infiltrating the medical field too quickly. I can feel the strong pressure. Unmanned hospitals... No, unmanned hospitals are what capital likes the most!"

"Yes, first we need to approve a piece of land, build a hospital, and then run the scene little by little. It will take at least ten or eight years before we can tentatively open it to the outside world. Although it takes a long time, it is still from 0 to 1."

Boss Chai nodded, agreeing to what Luo Hao said.

"Xiao Luohao, are you sure?" Director Qian asked.

"It will definitely take some time. Director Qian, you see, the unmanned port in Shanghai has been quietly operating for more than ten years and has never been promoted. Isn't it mature now?"

"Don't publicize it. Once the unmanned hospital project is publicized, it will definitely attract countless criticisms."

"Haha, just stay like that. You are so young and have no vitality at all."

"Not really. I've thought about all the relevant theories and it's almost there." Luo Hao said, smiling and leaning forward. "Boss, let me tell you a little gossip."

"how?"

"Isn't Harbin Institute of Technology going to put 24 navigation satellites on the moon?"

"I know about that."

"Qingqing wants to go up."

"???"

"!!!"
