Chapter 594 Is He Too Optimistic?
Early the next morning.

"Boss, why are you here today?" Gu Huaiming asked his boss Zhou who looked energetic.

Ever since I went to Hulin Agricultural Company to shoot the documentary, my boss's spirits have obviously improved a lot, and the emotional value provided by Xiao Luohao is really top-notch.

"Come and take a look. You're bored at home." Boss Zhou said, "Xiao Luohao is the same. You have to live there for a few years. What's the point of living in a bitter cold place? It would be better if you could bring bamboo back earlier."

Sure enough, the next second Boss Zhou mentioned Zhuzi and Luo Hao, and Gu Huaiming was not surprised at all.

"I heard they're having a 3D projection consultation," Boss Zhou said, "Let me take a look."

The installation was just completed last week and the boss came to watch the fun.

Director Gu thought that his boss seemed to lack some hobbies. Even if he was willing to go to the square and dance with the old lady, it would be better than thinking about bamboo every day.

Judging from the situation, if Luo Hao doesn't come back, the boss will go to Jiangbei Province after the New Year and send the bamboo to the Qinling Mountains for wild growth.

Luo Hao, this bastard, really knows how to flatter people.

"Yes, Boss. Holographic imaging technology is exactly the same as in the old movies."

"Look, look. Oh, by the way, is there anything over there with Luo Hao?"

“……” Director Gu was speechless.

Luo Hao's cardiothoracic surgery department is not weak, but it is definitely not strong either. They are not even sure if they can insert bone cement into the heart.

That's all, what's there to worry about?

Boss, do you want to look at the bamboo every day?
"Boss, I'll talk to the manufacturer." Although Director Gu felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he immediately followed what Boss Zhou meant.

Other masters and apprentices have had extremely ugly conflicts, for example, Academician Wang was the one who had the final say. No one expected that he would eventually become enemies with his most proud disciple, Boss Zhang.

Gu Huaiming was already grateful for Boss Zhou's kindness, and what's more, his boss really retired after he retired and never interfered in the personnel, financial power, etc. within the department, so he would respect Boss Zhou whenever possible.

What's wrong with consulting Xiao Luohao? It's only natural, Gu Huaiming thought.

"have a look."

Gu Huaiming was taking Boss Zhou to the demonstration room. As soon as he walked out of the office, he saw the family of a patient who had just returned from Mayo.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." The patient's family member greeted him listlessly.

"Huh? You're back? What did they say over there?" Boss Zhou asked with concern.

"Boss, the child has been receiving conservative treatment at Mayo for more than a month, but he has an aortic hematoma and cannot undergo surgery." Gu Huaiming whispered softly.

Oh, that's right.

Boss Zhou never thinks that his own 912 can perform any surgery that Mayo cannot.

My level isn't that high yet.

Mayo has already reached the pinnacle of world-class skills, and Boss Zhou is not crazy and would not be so presumptuous.

"That's a pity." Mr. Zhou comforted the patient's family.

Human power is sometimes exhausted. By the time Boss Zhou reached his age, he had already accepted his fate.

When he arrived at the demonstration room, Boss Zhou saw the modified holographic projection consultation system and found it quite novel.

Especially when watching the demonstration, the people appearing in the light and shadow look exactly like the real ones.

"I thought it would take a long time."

Boss Zhou said something that made no sense.

"Indeed, I didn't expect it to appear so soon." Director Gu replied.

"Install one over there at Xiao Luohao, and we'll have a consultation when we have time. Oh, and send the information about the patient just mentioned over there, and ask Xiao Luohao for his opinion."

Director Gu smiled slightly.

The boss is going to make things difficult for Xiao Luohao.

He received conservative treatment at Mayo for more than a month, and then flew back at great risk. I guess he just wanted to return to his roots.

I don't know how Mayo explained it to the patient's family. I guess several world-class experts were consulted, and everyone said that the surgery could not be performed.

That’s all, what Xiao Luohao can do?

Director Gu didn't believe it. Xiao Luohao's skills were indeed high, much higher than he had imagined, but he couldn't do this operation.

It seemed like a good idea to see Xiao Luohao admit that he couldn't do it during the first consultation.

Director Gu called Luo Hao, told him about the situation, and passed the information to him.

"Boss, do you want to change clothes before making rounds?" Director Gu asked respectfully.

"You guys check it out. I'm getting worse and worse, so I won't go. If I go to that station, none of you will feel comfortable. The surgery will be done later, and I'll just go up and watch two of them."

"Okay." Director Gu didn't force it and began to hand over the shift and make rounds.

Boss Zhou is old, so he just came to watch the fun. Otherwise, having been a surgeon all his life, he would not feel at ease if he did not see the surgical scene.

Gu Huaiming asked casually, just to express respect, knowing that the boss would definitely not go on stage.

Just as I was about to go into surgery, Luo Hao called.

This kid must have guessed that it was a difficult problem given to him by the boss, Gu Huaiming thought to himself.

"Xiao Luohao, can the patient's surgery be performed?" Gu Huaiming asked deliberately.

"Director Gu, I think it can be done."

Gu Huaiming was stunned for a moment. He felt like there seemed to be something wrong with his hearing. He must have heard it wrong.

"Dr. Xiao Luo." Gu Huaiming changed his words and asked more seriously, "What did you say about surgery just now?"

"It can be done. There is about a 70% chance of success. After all, it takes so long, and a 70% chance of success is not low," Luo Hao explained.

“!!!” Gu Huaiming was stunned.

The 912 hospital in China and the Mayo Clinic abroad all gave the same diagnosis - inoperable.

Luo Hao actually said he could do it?
Is he okay? Doesn't he have any idea what's going on?

Gu Huaiming frowned.

In fact, Gu Huaiming was confident that he could perform the elephant trunk surgery. However, replacing part of the aorta was not a big deal, but other factors could not be overcome.

Previously, only three companies in Europe and the United States could produce artificial blood vessels for elephant trunk surgery.

Due to the impact of the epidemic a few years ago, the three companies were unable to supply goods in a timely manner.

After finally waiting for the epidemic to end, the technical levels of two companies dropped significantly, and there were even incidents of E. coli infection in patients who had undergone sterile packaged artificial blood vessel replacements.

Although Gu Huaiming didn't say it, he vaguely guessed that it was probably because the factory was controlled by people of different genders and employed Indian workers.

In addition to the need for domestic substitution, the relevant materials were not available at the moment, so Director Gu watched the patient go to Mayo.

But he didn't expect Mayo wouldn't dare to do it.

In fact, this operation is not just about replacing a trunk, it also includes esophagectomy and replacement of the esophagus with the stomach or colon.

The huge impact of the surgery gave Gu Huaiming a splitting headache just thinking about it.

Luo Hao must be talking nonsense.

After calming himself down, Gu Huaiming asked doubtfully, "Dr. Xiao Luo, are you talking about the patient who came back from Mayo? Or some other patient?"

"Yes, Director Gu, have you sent me other medical records? Let me take a look."

"No need. I'll just give you this one. By the way, the manufacturer is going over there today to install the holographic projection equipment. You just need to come and join us. The lighting and shadows are not as good as 912 for now."

Gu Huaiming replied expressionlessly that there was no communication error. He couldn't understand why Luo Hao gave such an optimistic response.

"I know, there's no room on my side. Maybe the boss wants to see it~~~"

Gu Huaiming was speechless.

"Dr. Xiao Luo, how do you do the surgery?"

"We can do the elephant trunk surgery together. As for the esophagus, I see that the CT scan shows that there is not much damage. I think we can put in a stent."

"The stent will not survive." Gu Huaiming gave a definite answer. He thought Luo Hao had some good idea.

"Endoscopic esophageal stent placement + omentum transplantation to cover the infected lesion + continuous flushing of the lesion after surgery has a very high success rate," Luo Hao explained.

Gu Huaiming frowned and pondered carefully the procedure Luo Hao mentioned: endoscopic esophageal stent placement + greater omentum transplantation to cover the infected lesion + continuous flushing of the lesion after surgery.

"We need to prepare at least four surgical plans. I'm only talking about Plan 4. Plan 1 is esophagectomy, colon replacement of esophagus, and gastrostomy. Plan 2..."

Luo Hao talked incessantly.

"Dr. Xiao Luo, please wait a moment. I will report these in the consultation later."

"Okay. I also have surgeries here, so I'll wait for the manufacturer to deliver the equipment. Director Gu, you can see my 3D projection, but I can't. I always feel like something is missing."

"Don't complain, think carefully, the boss will definitely ask a lot of questions." Gu Huaiming said sternly.

He was reminding Luo Hao that Gu Huaiming always felt that Luo Hao was a little arrogant now.

Not to mention anything else, just for that patient, Luo Hao actually gave such an optimistic evaluation, which was hard for Gu Huaiming to accept.

"I know."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Hao went straight to the operating room.

"Luo Hao, is it difficult to perform endoscopic esophageal stent placement + omentum transplantation to cover the infected lesion + continuous flushing of the lesion after surgery?" Chen Yong was a little skeptical.

"It's difficult. It mainly depends on how big the esophagus hole is. Don't you know the esophagus? It doesn't have rich blood supply and has high tension, so it's difficult to grow."

"If it was the intestines, there wouldn't be so many problems."

"Yeah." Luo Hao nodded, wondering how to explain it clearly.

"Luo Hao, why do I feel that in recent years... No, it's the technology that has been advancing faster in recent years?"

"Is there any?"

"Yes!" Chen Yong raised his voice and said confidently, "For example, the robot dog. I've heard before how powerful Ben's robots are, and how they performed at the World Robot Competition. But now, Ben's robots are gone, and even Boston Dynamics is dead."

"Maybe they are so focused on LGBT and finance that no one cares about real technology."

It seems possible. I have heard Luo Hao complain before that every press conference held by Boston Dynamics is for the stock price.

If robot dogs like Yunshenchu ​​and Xiaomi's Tiedan appeared in the United States, the stock prices of these companies would have been driven up to the sky long ago.

Emm.

It seems that Master doesn’t need to cover his position anymore.

No, with Master’s temper, he would definitely have to replenish his position, and replenish it a lot.

Chen Yong began to have wild thoughts.

"But the biotechnology over there is very powerful. In the future, we will take the route of machine-derived gods, and they will take the route of human transformation. Maybe in the end we will end up in the same place," Luo Hao added.

“???” Chen Yong didn’t understand, and Luo Hao didn’t explain in detail. Instead, he was thinking about how to explain the matter clearly.

Mechanical deities and cyborgs, Chen Yong felt that Luo Haocai should be Jiang Wenming's student.

"I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I'm going to the University of Technology." Luo Hao said.

"Why go?"

Luo Hao smiled and said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, Luo Hao, I have something to tell you."

"What?" Luo Hao pricked up his ears.

"I used to play CS, real-life CS."

"You still like this?" Luo Hao was a little surprised.

"You are a guy who has no interest in life, even if you are playing with girls. You don't drink, smoke, and use apps. All you do every day is check your phone. You don't watch short videos, but only read papers." Chen Yong complained, "Your life is really boring. There is no fun at all."

"Harm." Luo Hao shook his head.

"Everyone says that Lao Meng is a nuclear power asshole, but I think you are the one. Tell me quickly, has the institute already developed controlled nuclear fusion?"

"Stop messing around and tell me quickly. I have something to do over there." Luo Hao urged.

"Isn't the US military going to change its equipment? I see that the military fans in the group have already changed all the US military equipment except the guns in advance."

"?!" Luo Hao was surprised.

But on second thought, it is understandable. I don’t know who brought it here. No matter how small the lice are, they are still meat. There are squads of armed Chinese military fans, and they actually have a lot of money.

"The special warfare helmets, special warfare radios, and four-eye night vision goggles are all the same as those of the US military. I guess they were all resold by Commissioner Smith."

"Oh." Luo Hao said expressionlessly.

"Don't you want to do something?"

"No, it's meaningless. You should study your lightning-struck wooden drone." Luo Hao said with a smile, "I'll go and run the data. The boss's consultation has started with holographic projection. We should be able to use it within the next three years."

Chen Yong was not interested in this. He waved his hand, turned around and left, going about his own business.

……

"What's going on, Xiao Luohao? Didn't they say they were going to have a consultation? Why is the person missing?" Gu Huaiming muttered.

“The phone call was unavailable.”

Boss Zhou sat in a chair, squinting his eyes and shaking his head. "Xiao Luohao doesn't usually do things like this. What was the last message he sent you?"

"Boss, he said he would find a way to make it clear to us."

"Little thing." Boss Zhou sneered.

An interjection, full of doting, made Gu Huaiming's heart surge.

If Luo Hao was 20 years older, I would probably have to resign and work in a private hospital, and the position of director would definitely go to Luo Hao.

As for becoming an academician, I don’t even dare to think about it.

"Wait a minute. I don't think there's any way to treat the patient's condition. He's so old. Even if the elephant trunk surgery can be done, the esophageal stent Luo Hao puts in won't grow out of the esophagus."

Mr. Zhou gave his evaluation.

"I think so too." Gu Huaiming nodded.

The patient's condition is indeed not optimistic, but the family also agrees. He even went to Mayo Clinic, not for a remote consultation, but for a physical visit!

For remote consultation, the price is about 18000 yuan, and Mayo is about 100000 yuan, but that kind of consultation is arranged by a broker, and it is difficult to find world-class experts to come forward.

It is even possible that the consulting expert is just an intern.

But it is a completely different concept for patients to go directly to Mayo.

Boss Zhou and Gu Huaiming were both helpless that night, but could Luo Hao really do it?

After waiting for nearly two days, Luo Hao called and said that the 3D printed human simulator was already being made and would be available for display soon.

One day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Boss Zhou changed into white clothes, which was rare for him, and sat in the demonstration room.

Made an appointment with Luo Hao for a remote consultation.

Boss Zhou watched a ray of light falling not far away. He knew that Luo Hao would appear there in a while.

Around 00, people were able to get in touch with more American and Western technology and entertainment. Boss Zhou had seen this sci-fi consultation method in movies and TV dramas.

I just didn’t expect that he would appear in 912 so soon, and I was lucky enough to see it.

Although Boss Zhou thinks this thing is useless.

There is actually no essential difference between someone sitting there and making a phone call.

But Boss Zhou felt that after Xiao Luohao took him to the Hulin Agricultural Company, his old-fashioned thinking began to loosen a little.

Although the on-site scenes were not as shocking as in the documentary, Mr. Zhou witnessed with his own eyes countless robot dogs running, working, and harvesting in the wilderness.

The dreams and beliefs in my heart are becoming reality bit by bit.

Even if I cannot see the day when my belief becomes reality, at least the situation is much better than when the reform and opening up first started. Isn’t that difficult?

At that time, Boss Zhou was studying abroad at public expense, and he was so shocked by the life abroad that he was speechless.

Is this the America that is as corrupt as propaganda suggests?
At that time, Mr. Zhou met an Italian immigrant who worked as a security guard in a bar in New York. With this, he was able to buy a big house in New York, his wife was a full-time housewife, he had a car, two children and a dog.

There is enough food to waste, and life is so rich that it makes people feel like this is heaven.

Boss Zhou was just thinking when suddenly a flash of light appeared in front of his eyes. As a beam of light fell, Luo Hao appeared in front of him.

The whole process was a bit laggy and felt a bit haunted.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Luo Hao asked with a smile, as if he was right next to him.

"Can you see me?" Boss Zhou was surprised.

"I have a video, a video from Director Gu's cell phone." Luo Hao laughed, "The holographic projection system is not installed on my side. I'll install one when I have time."

"Let's talk about those things later. Tell me what you think about the surgery." Boss Zhou said calmly.

Luo Hao's expression in the light and shadow was very lifelike. He was wearing a white suit with a row of pens in his pocket. On the pens were written the words - Xiehe Luo Hao, which seemed a bit dazzling to Boss Zhou.

What a bastard, he actually reminded everyone all the time that he was from Concordia University.

Boss Zhou is also helpless.

The next second, Luo Hao took off his white clothes.

Boss Zhou was stunned. Could it be that Luo Hao could hear what he was thinking?

But then Boss Zhou burst into laughter. Luo Hao, wearing a surgical gown, came to the platform behind him and uncovered the sterile sheet covering it.

At first, neither Boss Zhou nor Director Gu paid much attention to it. After all, sterile sheets are the most common things in the hospital.

But Luo Hao untied the sterile sheet and saw a person lying there!

I am!

Gu Huaiming was stunned, and Boss Zhou was also stunned.

"This is a robot. Because the data is not complete, I am not very satisfied with the printout after running the data for 5 hours, but I can still make do with it for display."

Luo Hao spoke Chinese, but everyone on the other side of the remote consultation was stunned, as if he was speaking an alien language.

The robot lying on the "operating table" is lifelike, and its age is based on the information in the medical records. Even the wrinkles on its face can be clearly seen.

If Luo Hao hadn't mentioned things like data and 3D printing in advance, everyone in 912 would have thought that he was using the cadaver teacher as a specimen.

It also……

It also……

This is too similar!
Boss Zhou's eyes lit up.

The cadaver teachers in the school are very valuable. A school is considered a good school if one cadaver teacher is available for every four students.

Generally speaking, there are 8 or 16 students, and it is not uncommon for a class to have one cadaver teacher.

But if there is such a simulation robot, will every student be able to practice it by themselves in the future? The kind that can cut anything at will?

Boss Zhou suddenly felt that his blood pressure was a little high, so he quickly closed his eyes and calmed down.

"Because it was a simple demonstration, no liquid replacing plasma was flushed into the blood vessels after 3D printing."

Luo Hao explained again, put on his surgical gown and gloves as usual, and started cutting the robot.

He performed the operation in the same way as an elephant's trunk surgery, because he didn't have to think too much and it was just a simulation, so it was extremely fast.

Although the operation was quick, Luo Hao performed it in a very methodical manner, and it was obvious that he had done in-depth research on nose surgery.

After opening the robot's chest cavity to simulate the surgical scene, Luo Hao then cut open the left diaphragm, took out a piece of greater omentum, then changed a pair of gloves and used a gastroscope to put it into the robot's mouth.

Boss Zhou noticed that everything looked like a real person, not a robot.

Its muscle lines looked like those of a human. If there had been no bleeding, Mr. Zhou would have suspected that Luo Hao, that bastard, was lying to him.

Not only the muscles, but all the internal organs including the greater omentum are extremely realistic.

The greater omentum was sticky and red and yellow, just like Luo Hao was holding a piece of freshly removed omentum in his hand.

The gastroscope was inserted and reached the position where the fish bone pierced the esophagus.

Because the time is too long, local decay, organization, infection, edema, all the taboo words in surgery can be used in the operating area.

Luo Hao folded the greater omentum, and like a magic trick, the moment the esophageal stent was opened, the greater omentum became double-layered and attached to the inner and outer sides of the esophageal stent.

However, the opening of the stent was not very large, so Elder Zhou suddenly asked, "Luo Hao, why don't you open it all the way?"

"Boss, the blood supply to the greater omentum is not supported. This force is the optimal solution calculated." Luo Hao replied.

"Calculate?" Boss Zhou was stunned.

"The supercomputer is running in Gongda." Luo Hao answered as he worked, "The supercomputer of Gongda has to wait in line. Can we also build a data center instead of building it all in Guizhou? I know that the boss of Guizhou was transferred from our capital, but we can't favor one over the other."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Zhou interrupted Luo Hao.

"Well, does the institute have a supercomputer? Probably not. Can we build one?" Luo Hao asked. "Boss, you will know how useful it is after you use it. For example, for this patient, if the data is not run on the computer, we have no idea how much power to use. We can only rely on clinical experience."

“But after running, the robot is particularly suitable for this operation.”

"robot?"

Countless questions were heard in the demonstration room of 912 Cardiothoracic Surgery.

"Yeah, I'm not a machine, so I can't be perfect. If possible, I'll take the robot to the imperial capital."
