White armor

Chapter 740: A direct compliment made the person feel comfortable.
The big tabby cat looked fierce, and Old Cui was taken aback, his white eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Stop fooling around, we have a guest. Let him pet us." Luo Hao waved and spoke to the big tabby cat.

Old Cui almost burst out laughing. Dr. Luo's words were too anthropomorphic, and he was even asking for a touch.

He really thinks the tabby cat can understand... He probably doesn't really believe that.

Before the thought had even settled, the big tabby cat stretched and strode towards Old Cui. Its previous ferocity had vanished; Old Cui even saw a hint of kindness in the tabby.

No, it should be what young people call "acting cute".

“Uh…” Old Cui was taken aback.

“It’s Director Li’s child,” Luo Hao explained.

He told Old Cui about Director Li of the Food Street Subdistrict Office, but Old Cui was completely confused.

A tabby cat is being called "Director Tanuki"! And it can even catch mice.

These urban legends were quite interesting, and Old Cui listened with great interest.

“A friend of mine was involved in the construction here. Later, he felt there were too many rats, so he brought over some of the rats from the raccoon dog’s litter. Then they started fighting among themselves, so I gave them their own territories and they guarded their own spots, rotating them every three months.”

"What?" Old Cui was completely stunned this time.

Animals have a deep sense of territory. It's not just that Dr. Luo can communicate with tabby cats, but he can also mark their territories.

It's one thing to be able to divide up territory, but the tabby cat probably succumbed to Dr. Luo's tyranny and couldn't beat him. The key issue is that it's rotated every three months!
Are these cats really that obedient?

To others, this is just an urban legend, but to Old Cui, it's something else entirely—it's called organizational capacity.

“There is also a neighborhood committee here. These cats are employees under the neighborhood committee, and each cat receives a living allowance every month.”

"..."

"It's not considered a permanent position. Permanent positions are too difficult to obtain these days, and there's no need for them. For a tabby cat like me, it's just an empty title. Let's see at this year's Ice and Snow Festival. If someone makes a video that goes viral, maybe they can apply for a permanent position." Luo Hao explained with a smile as the tabby cat nuzzled against Old Cui's legs.

Old Cui still reached out and ruffled the big tabby cat's fur.

"Mr. Cui, please come in. My husband, Mr. Chai, stayed here for a while before the Ice and Snow Festival and had a very leisurely time. So the community reserved this room for you teachers, and I'll be in charge of entertaining you all."

"Hehe, now you won't allow it, will you?" Old Cui said with a sneer.

"The main reason is that fishing here is quite expensive, so most anglers would rather go fishing in the wild than come here," Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Then how do you make money?"

"On the weekend, several families came together for a get-together and to go fishing."

As soon as I entered, a large animal was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), its clear eyes resembling those of a college student, looking both adorable and a little silly.

"What is this?" Old Cui was startled by the scene.

The large beast lay in a strange posture, its belly exposed, and a kitten lay on its belly, fast asleep.

"This is a roe deer. When we first started developing Northeast China, we used to say that you could beat a roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle, and pheasants would fly into your cooking pot. There were many roe deer, and they were stupid. If it weren't for protection, they would probably be extinct by now."

Old Cui walked over, and the big beast showed no vigilance whatsoever, its eyes looking dull and stupid. Old Cui had no doubt that if he went up and hit it with a stick, it wouldn't even put up a fight.

Old Cui had heard of roe deer before. It was said that these creatures were very gossipy, and even if you tried to kill them, they would come back to check on you after they ran away.

They say curiosity killed the cat, but actually curiosity killed the roe deer.

"It and a cat?" Old Cui found the roe deer increasingly interesting.

"Once we get to know each other, we also get to know the tourists here. The only thing is that we don't let him use the kang (heated brick bed) in the other rooms, because some tourists will have complaints. Only in this room can he use the kang, and when we report to the higher-ups, we bring up the roe deer."

"That's a good excuse."

Old Cui has indeed broadened his horizons; the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals fills this house with warmth.

Just as they were feeling cozy, Big Tabby jumped onto the kang (heated brick bed) and slapped the roe deer across the face.

The roe deer looked a little innocent, sneezed, and turned to the side, letting the big tabby cat lie on top of it.

"Since we got cats, there haven't been any rats around here. Not to mention rats, even birds are scarce. Luckily, there aren't any protected birds, otherwise all sorts of organizations would be knocking on our door," Luo Hao complained. "Old Cui, what kind of fish do you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine, I'll do whatever you have." Old Cui looked at the big tabby cat and the silly roe deer with great interest, and was quite happy.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll have the bulltail fish." Luo Hao ordered the fish, raised his hand and ruffled the head of the big tabby cat, "Go and catch six bulltail fish."

"???" Old Cui was completely dumbfounded this time.

Are all the animals here catching fish like cats?

"Meow~~~" The big tabby seemed to express its dissatisfaction with Luo Hao, but it still got up from the roe deer and stretched its muscles first.

The beeping sound made Old Cui's eyes almost pop out.

In the martial arts world, this is called "the sound of drums and gongs," a very profound technique. I never expected that even Dr. Luo's cat could do it.

After stretching his limbs, the big tabby cat slowly walked towards the back door. Old Cui, curious, followed behind the big tabby cat.

Two figures were sitting by the river, fishing. Big Tabby walked straight over and stood by the river, gazing at them.

"A guest?" Old Cui asked in a low voice.

"You're not a guest, please wait a moment while we catch the fish."

As they were talking, the big tabby cat plunged into the water and then returned with a cow tail stick in its mouth.

"You're always causing trouble."

The voice sounded familiar, and Old Cui tried hard to search his memory for the person in question.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he suddenly realized that this person must be Boss Chai, Boss Chai from Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

"Is it Mr. Chai? Isn't he in the capital?" Old Cui asked.

"It's a custom-made robot for Boss Chai," Luo Hao explained. "I miss my boss, so I had one made and placed here. Whenever I encounter any difficulties, I can come over and chat with him."

"Chatting with an AI robot is different from making a phone call."

"!!!"

"Moreover, my daughter always says that something is missing when Mr. Chai isn't around, so she ordered a robot to fish here."

"!!!"

Old Cui was speechless.

What is Dr. Luo up to?! How did he manage to get Old Chai's custom-made robot?

The fact that someone cares about you touches a deep part of the elderly people's hearts, their most tender spot.

Seeing Boss Chai's simulated robot fishing by the river, Old Cui's heart gradually softened.

The AI ​​robot was scolding the tabby cat, while the chubby figure next to it simply took off its raincoat and jumped into the water.

bamboo!

Even though Mr. Cui doesn't go online much, he has seen countless promotional photos of bamboo.

I actually found bamboo here!

No, it should also be an AI robot. In a flash, Cui realized he was wrong.

The bamboo here is different from the silly robotic pandas sold online.

Old Cui was surprised to see the bamboo go into the water and work in perfect harmony with the tabby cat, bringing up several oxtail sticks.

"Just eat this, with some vegetables for dipping sauce. It's all homegrown; the owner's AI robot also does some gardening. Look, it's over there." Luo Hao pointed to a corner of the yard.

There's a small greenhouse over there, lush and green inside.

Old Cui sighed, watching with envy as Luo Hao ran over to chat with Boss Chai's AI robot.

Although Luo Hao knew it was an AI robot, he still treated it as if Boss Chai had come in person.

Old Cui was so envious he almost cried.

How wonderful it would be if someone remembered me like this after I passed away.
Perhaps, this is true immortality.

……

……

half a month later.

"The physical exam results are fine, the hospital has already reviewed the report. Xiao Han, why are you so stubborn? I told you to let the AI ​​run it first." Boss Chai said casually, sitting in his chair.

His behavior is exactly the same as the AI ​​robot fishing on the Songhua River.

However, the people accompanying Boss Chai were not Luo Hao and Zhu Zi.

"Mr. Chai, AI has indeed started to be used for diagnosis, but it's nowhere near as experienced as you. The AI ​​hospitals in Shanghai are just messing around; I don't have a high opinion of them," Han Jianxue said calmly.

"I work in AI, and there are indeed many scenarios where AI can be embedded, but in the medical field, I suggest we wait a bit longer. Unlike dark factories, human lives are at stake in the medical field, so it's better to be safe than sorry."

Old Chai smiled kindly, without a trace of hostility.

If it were in the past, not to mention fifteen years ago, once Old Chai figured out what this person meant, he would definitely have given him a good scolding.

Luo Hao's unmanned hospital is preparing to apply for the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award, something Boss Chai didn't expect.

But since the application had already been submitted, and the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award was of a high enough level to greatly assist Xiaoluohao in selecting outstanding young scientists, Boss Chai did not hesitate to humble himself and persuade the judges one by one.

However, Mr. Chai is not very familiar with the field of AI, and he doesn't have enough connections in it. In addition, with the emergence of new technologies in China in recent years, the competition is quite fierce.

Such a large cake wasn't something Mr. Chai decided on at a glance.

Even adding Lao Zhou from 912 wouldn't work.

A trade is like a mountain; one can only proceed gradually.

"Alright then, here's the medical report from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. I heard you also wanted a medical report from an unmanned hospital?"

Han Jianxue smiled, "Mr. Chai, having a control group is standard practice in your medical field. Only by combining the medical examination reports from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the unmanned hospital can we see the level of the AI ​​unmanned hospital."

Ha ha.

Boss Chai sneered inwardly; he knew exactly what the other party was up to.

"Alright, let's go. Where's Xiao You?" Boss Chai asked.

"His stomach wasn't feeling well today, so he went to see a gastroenterologist after his physical exam."

dong dong dong~
There was a knock on the door.

You Guangming walked in.

He and Han Jianxue are both senior experts in the field of AI and are also judges for the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award.

"Xiao You, what medicine did you get prescribed?"

"Boss Chai, I didn't get any medicine. He said my gastrointestinal motility is a bit slow, and that more exercise will help. If it really doesn't work, I can take some medication to promote gastrointestinal motility."

"It's alright, it's good that you're alright." Boss Chai didn't mind, got up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly changed his clothes.

"You're going to the unmanned hospital for your second physical exam. What are your thoughts on the unmanned hospital?" Boss Chai asked. "I can roughly guess what the unmanned hospital will be like. It's a miniature version of the Peking Union Medical College Hospital model. However, some details still need to be refined, so Lao You and I both feel that it can't compare to other projects for the time being."

“We are very grateful for what happened to Xiao Lu’s child, but Xiao Lu did act on emotion,” You Guangming said. “Artificial intelligence is developing very quickly in China, but it is still lacking in the medical field. It would be better to wait a few more years, that’s what we all think.”

Although the man had already revealed his true intentions, Boss Chai didn't say anything. He simply changed his clothes, got into his car, and headed straight for the deserted hospital.

Since they want to see and compare, let's give it a try.

Although they were comparing themselves to Peking Union Medical College Hospital right from the start, Boss Chai still had some confidence. It was normal to lose; an unmanned hospital wasn't trying to compete with Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and Boss Chai knew their ulterior motives.

When the time comes, if you take your highlights to Xiao Lu, you won't be able to compete with Peking Union Medical College Hospital, or even with your other AI projects.

Just kidding, Boss Chai has confidence in Luo Hao.

After having a plan in mind and going over it several times, Boss Chai felt that there were no weaknesses.

The convoy arrived at the unmanned hospital, and the gate slowly opened, revealing the figures of "Xiao Meng" and Old Zhou in the distance.

The car stopped at the entrance, and several experts got out.

"Greetings, esteemed leaders." "Xiao Meng" bowed politely and greeted them.

Chief?

Several experts in the field of AI were taken aback.

"They belong to my 912 Hospital and 209 Institute, so it's understandable that Xiao Meng addressed the experts as 'leaders'," Old Zhou explained calmly.

It's a bit excessive, but the word "chief" does give people a strange feeling.

This was a sophisticated form of flattery, making the two hostile individuals feel comfortable and significantly reducing their hostility towards the unmanned hospital.

"Old Zhou, isn't this a bad idea?" You Guangming said softly.

"It's alright. When I used to go to different places for surgeries, the staff at the city's guesthouses all called me that. Now, it's an AI robot after all, so it doesn't matter," Old Zhou said.

"Yes, indeed," Old Chai added.

The two veterans in the medical field took turns offering their opinions, managing to gloss over the matter.

After exchanging only a few pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

The physical examination has begun.

AI robots may seem like groundbreaking things to outsiders, but to domestic AI experts, their only notable feature is their overpowered abilities.

Indeed, the AI ​​robots here have muscular skin and look just like real people; their attention is focused on this.

Old Chai and Old Zhou watched quietly as the AI ​​robot guided them through the examination in an orderly manner.

“Teacher You, the CT scan shows a large amount of gas in your gastrointestinal tract.” “Xiao Meng” walked over and said gently, “Now, experts from the unmanned hospital will assess whether treatment is necessary.”

"Treatment?" You Guangming was taken aback.

I just came from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, where they advised that I didn't need treatment, just more stimulation would suffice.

He looked at Old Chai.

"The way things work here is a bit different from what we do at Peking Union Medical College Hospital," Professor Chai said with a smile. "I suggest we let an AI robot treat it."

"Treat? How do you treat it?" You Guangming was taken aback.

"Dr. Luo obtained the information at Guang'anmen, which shows that treatment can be achieved through acupuncture and physiotherapy."

Why isn't it in the information?

"Yes, it's included in the confidentiality agreement at the very end. Because there are some technical details of traditional Chinese medicine from Guang'anmen that they're worried about being stolen by the Japanese, so the level of confidentiality is even higher," Old Zhou explained.

“ai…” You Guangming hesitated.

Other people's AI technology is mainly reflected in external things, such as the AI-coordinated unmanned port at Yangshan Port. You can just visit and find problems to see if the AI's actions are logical.

But the unmanned hospital is going to take action against itself.

He couldn't help but hesitate.

"It's just acupuncture and cupping, do you want me to try it first?" Old Chai asked You Guangming seriously, not jokingly.

You Guangming was taken aback. At Chai's age, the more sincere he was, the stronger the mockery became.

"Let's give it a try," You Guangming finally decided.

Although he was still a little worried, he figured he wouldn't hurt himself.

With two top domestic experts on staff, if things really go wrong, this hospital won't need to continue operating.

At least the award process can be put to rest for now.

"Teacher You, this way please." "Xiao Meng" smiled and led You Guangming to a physiotherapy room.

It's simple and clean here, and the air is filled with the scent of negative oxygen ions.

"Please lie down properly." "Xiao Meng" helped You Guangming into position first.

"Whose technique is this acupuncture?" You Guangming asked, having some knowledge of the unmanned hospital.

Lying down made You Guangming very uncomfortable; he had severe bloating and didn't know what he had eaten wrong.

You Guangming also knew that Western medicine had limited effectiveness in treating this condition, and he had originally planned to go to Guang'anmen to take a look after he finished his business.

It's truly remarkable that Dr. Luo managed to obtain information from Guang'anmen and manage to extract some benefits from those old fogies.

As soon as he finished speaking, You Guangming felt that something was wrong.

Instead of immediately inserting needles, "Xiao Meng" first brought over a bunch of instruments, preparing them for installation.

"Wait!" You Guangming quickly called out to stop.

"what happened?"

"Boss Chai, what's going on? Didn't you say it was just acupuncture and cupping? Why are you putting a monitor on me and all that? What kind of equipment is this? I don't understand it."

"Oh, it's an instrument that monitors the bioelectric currents in your muscles. Acupuncture and physical therapy can change some things, but there hasn't been any corresponding research. So the unmanned hospital is preparing to collect some data. Don't worry, it won't harm you."

Gathering information?!
You Guangming is an expert in the field of AI, and he knows what this means. He just never imagined that one day he would become part of the database himself.

Never mind, as long as there's no harm done, it's fine.

"Xiao Meng" quickly connected various instruments to You Guangming.

You Guangming felt that these people in the medical field were like medieval black magicians. Looking at himself covered in wires, Boss Chai and Boss Zhou not only didn't say anything, but their eyes were also shining.

This is too scary.

“Teacher You, please relax, I’m starting now,” Xiao Meng said gently.

By this time, "Xiao Meng's" square face was no longer visible, and You Guangming responded in a muffled voice.

“In the early years of reform and opening up, when overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia encountered difficult and complicated diseases, they would return to China for treatment,” Xiao Meng said to You Guangming while fiddling with acupuncture needles.

"Many similar cases involved overseas Chinese returning to China for treatment, where top experts were always involved. After all, they had money, and China also wanted to showcase its achievements in development."

"Little Meng" gossiped.

"Is it effective?" You Guangming asked.

"There are a total of 397 medical records related to you, and the results are all quite good."

After chatting for two minutes, You Guangming encountered an unprecedented and unimaginable dire situation.

My gastrointestinal tract began to churn rapidly, making a constant gurgling sound.

You Guangming tried his best to endure it.

He wasn't a doctor, so he still felt somewhat disgusted by jokes about bodily functions and urination.

Especially since, as an expert, he was addressed as "leader" as soon as he entered the room, and after expressing his opinion, the AI ​​robot automatically changed to addressing him as "teacher".

Regardless of the name, the use of excrement and urine is unacceptable.

Otherwise, this would be too disgusting and would damage his reputation as an AI expert, Professor You.

In front of others, one should still be proper and well-behaved.

You Guangming tightened his sphincter muscles forcefully.

“I will now perform moxibustion on you,” said “Xiao Meng.”

Several spots quickly became popular.

"There's an old Chinese medicine doctor in West China Hospital who has been doing moxibustion on his Zusanli acupoint since he was young. Now there's a small indentation about the size of the bottom of a bowl on that acupoint," Boss Chai gossiped.

“Zusanli (ST36), I heard that moxibustion there every day is extremely beneficial to the body. Recently, I’ve been in an empty hospital, and every night I ask Xiao Meng to give me moxibustion on Zusanli (ST36) and massage my feet,” said Old Zhou. “I feel very comfortable, and I feel much more energetic.”

vitality……

You Guangming felt somewhat helpless. Were these supposed to be veteran experts in the medical field? They seemed like swindlers.

But my gastrointestinal motility seemed to have increased, and my stomach, which was full of gas, felt bloated and uncomfortable.

The gas is now trying to find a way out and emerge.

If it weren't for the unmanned hospital, You Guangming would have been overjoyed. But he had come here with a purpose; how could a doctor possibly win such a prestigious AI award?

Even if it works, you have to stick with it!
You Guangming secretly circulated his energy and tightened his sphincter muscles even more.

"Xiao Meng's" gentle voice came from beside me, "Teacher You, can you feel it?"

"No," You Guangming said with certainty.

Gurgling.

His stomach rumbled, as if crickets were chirping in the shadows, and he was lying.

But "Xiao Meng" didn't question it; instead, he added two more cupping jars.

It didn't hurt, but the gastrointestinal reaction was terrible. You Guangming didn't dare to speak, his whole body tense, and he planned to find another place to talk later.

Although the hospital can show the actual situation as soon as you go on the machine, I'm determined not to do any more tests since my physical exam is already over.

You Guangming made up his mind.

"Teacher You, part of your medical examination results are in. You are in excellent health with no major problems. There is just a minor issue that you should be mindful of."

"Xiao Meng" was talking about the medical examination results.

"What's the big deal?" You Guangming asked.

He had been trying hard to hold it in and hadn't dared to speak, but when he suddenly opened his mouth to ask "Xiao Meng" a question, a burp came up.

Hiccup~~~
The sour, foul smell permeated You Guangming's mouth and nose, and he felt a mixture of joy and worry.

The bloating is indeed gone; as long as I'm willing, I can pass gas and everything's fine. But the worry is that "Xiao Meng" really knows how to do it!
It turns out that the AI ​​robots here are not what I imagined.
