Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 873 Thinking too much

"How's Dad?"

Zhang Bei rushed back from Heping Aerospace with his cousin Chang Le. Under the guidance of the guard at the door, they went directly to the intensive care unit.

Tang Xin, Chen Shuting, Zhang Nan and others who were still unwilling to leave the intensive care unit's glass partition just turned their heads to look at Zhang Bei and Chang Le, then looked anxiously at the hydrotherapy cabin lying behind the glass.

When Zhang Bei got closer, he saw two doctors in white coats sitting on either side of an oval cabin that shone with a bright silver luster. They were doing something to a figure in the blue liquid in the cabin through two pairs of blue rubber gloves that were reserved through holes dug in the transparent cabin cover.

Zhang Bei watched from the glass partition for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask the family members who were wiping away tears, "What are they doing?"

"They're performing surgery on Dad, removing the dead skin!" Zhang Nan wiped his tears and snot with a tissue, turned to look at Zhang Bei, and asked in a muffled voice, "Is the return capsule ready?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bei realized that the person lying in the blue liquid was actually their father!
"Dad is lying in there without even an oxygen mask. He..." Zhang Bei really couldn't understand his father's current situation, but on second thought, his doubts might have been raised by Zhang Nan and the others.

Zhang Nan, who didn't get an answer, explained again, "This hydrotherapy chamber is filled with the space hibernation nutrient solution developed by my father. You won't be short of oxygen when you lie in it."

Zhang Bei leaned over the glass partition, watching silently for a moment before answering Zhang Nan's question. "The return capsule has already left the spacecraft and landed on Hainan Island. They've already notified the relevant authorities to cooperate with the recovery."

"The things Dad wants are expected to be delivered here at 10: tomorrow morning."

Before he could finish his words, another wave of people arrived outside the intensive care unit.

When Hua returned, he brought with him the director and deputy director of the Neurosurgery Institute of Shenzhen Hospital.

As the two neurosurgery experts entered the intensive care unit, after the introduction of several doctors who were observing the operation, these two neurosurgery experts who were good at micro-manipulation discussed and decided that Director Wang from the Institute of Neurosurgery would take over first to get acclimated.

Then, he walked forward, sat in front of the control panel at the front of the spa cabin, and began to try to control the slender robotic arm in the spa cabin.

"Are you sure you want me to cut open these blocked blood vessels and trachea?" Director Wang from the Institute of Neurosurgery was still a little bit unconvinced before he started, because this operation overturned his cognition.

"Where's the procedure written by Teacher Zhang?" a doctor said hurriedly, "Hurry and find it and show it to Director Wang."

"Director Wang, we were actually confused at first!" A male doctor who was cleaning dead skin off Zhang Heping next to the hydrotherapy cabin said seriously:
"But only after we removed most of Mr. Zhang's dead skin and saw that his wounds were healing rapidly did we believe that Mr. Zhang had truly unlocked the human body's regenerative gene."

Director Wang from the Institute of Neurosurgery carefully examined Zhang Heping's skin for a while. Apart from the large cut on his neck, there were many small wounds in other parts of his body, but no blood leaked out. He didn't know why.

The doctors discussed for a while and finally agreed to Director Wang's conservative plan, which was to first cut open a blocked vein, observe the situation, and then decide on the subsequent surgical plan.

Compared with the delicate operation of this group of doctors, those who searched for discarded items by the Japanese islanders along the road were actually not that rough. Dozens of people lined up in rows, holding flashlights, squatting and searching forward bit by bit, like a comb, combing the gravel, wasteland and fields on the roadside.

Fortunately, when a suspicious red plastic round shell was found, the subsequent search work became easier.

Because they let the dozen or so police dogs they brought with them sniff the suspicious red plastic shell, and then divided it into two teams, one in front and one in the back, to search the area in front that had not been checked yet, and the area in the back that had been checked once, trying to find all the things discarded by the Japanese on this road.

Thursday, January 1, 30 a.m.

With a bunch of remote control parts being found, the suspicion of the five Japanese people can no longer be cleared!

"Next, your Smart City Management Center must cooperate with the Municipal Bureau to investigate the source of those bombs." The Shenzhen government official stood in the lobby of the Shenzhen Smart City Management Center and said to Zhao Jianguo, whose face was as gloomy as water.

"We're in a very passive position right now. The guy from Magnesium who planted the bomb, the five Japanese, and those thugs are all being held at the Peace Academy."

"If you have the opportunity to contact those suspects in the next few days, you can try to ask them about the source of the bombs."

"If those bombs were smuggled in from outside, it would be fine. But if they were stolen and sold by a unit or factory in Shenzhen, then it would be a big problem. Sigh..."

"Don't worry!" Zhao Jianguo said in a deep voice, "Whether it's for this explosion or to prevent similar cases in the future, we will do our best to investigate."

The person in charge of the Shenzhen government looked at the large screen in the hall that was constantly changing images, then thanked everyone for their hard work and left.

After the outsiders left, some employees in the Smart City Management Center began to speak.

"Director, we've retrieved the surveillance footage of that Jiefang truck's movements over the past three weeks," a young man said, frowning. "But we haven't discovered the time or location where the bomb was planted."

Another young man who was cooperating in accessing the surveillance footage chimed in, "It's not that there aren't any. There are several places where the surveillance only shows the upper half of the car. The fuel tank and water tank below are in the blind spot."

"If Magnesium agents or others place bombs on the inside of fuel or water tanks in these blind spots, we can ask the city police to investigate these areas."

Zhao Jianguo carefully reviewed the surveillance videos and said, "Check the movements of the passersby who approached the truck and find out their identities and occupations."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Jianguo sat back at his front-row workstation.

At this time, he really wanted to go to Heping Hospital to check on his old classmate Zhang Heping, but if the source of the bombs was not found, he and the heads of many departments in Shenzhen would be in trouble, and it would also leave hidden dangers for the future.

If we don’t find out the source of the bomb this time, we’ll have to wait and see if there are any similar explosions in the future if we want to investigate!

……

Outside the Peace Hospital, more than a dozen searchlights illuminated the explosion site and its surroundings.

There is also a large group of people picking up things here!
However, after they pick up the explosion fragments, they will place them neatly on the road, and then several experts will identify and classify them.

In addition, at both ends of this college road, two engineering teams are currently working, preparing to set up checkpoints and build walls to convert this four-lane road leading to Shekou Port into an internal road of Peace College.

This kind of last-minute response is actually for the Zhang family to see, and it is better than doing nothing.

As time passed quickly, the color of the liquid in the hydrotherapy cabin where Zhang Heping was lying in the intensive care unit began to fade.

Those who had been watching the surgery for a long time finally got to their turn to change the nutrient solution in the hydrotherapy chamber. Tang Xin, Zhang Feng, and the others, who had been dozing off from crying, woke up after being reminded by Chen Shuting and Zhang Bei, and stared intently at the figures inside the hydrotherapy chamber.

Compared to the charred driver lying in the hydrotherapy cabin next to him, Zhang Heping's snow-white skin was partially exposed due to the replacement of nutrient solution. This not only amazed the medical staff inside, but also made the Zhang family outside feel a lot more at ease.

In particular, Zhang Nan, who had seen his father's miserable state before, covered his mouth nervously and expectantly, fearing that what he saw was an illusion, and afraid that any sound would affect the treatment in the intensive care unit.

"Mom, stepmother, you two should go back and rest first!" Zhang Nan remembered what his father had said before and tried to persuade them again, "You don't want my dad to see you looking haggard when he wakes up, do you?"

Tang Xin and Chen Shuting didn't talk to each other until the liquid in the hydrotherapy cabin was refilled. Finally, they decided that Tang Xin would take the children back, while Chen Shuting, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan would continue to stay here.

Chen Shuting also has to direct foreign media to launch a public opinion offensive, so she can't sleep for the time being.

She estimated that Tang Xin and the others would not have much time to sleep after returning, and those who heard the news and came to visit were probably already queuing at the checkpoint.

However, because the college road outside Heping College was blocked, outsiders were blocked outside the intersection.

Only Tang Ming, Xu Jiefeng and Tang Qiang were allowed in, and no one else or their belongings were allowed in.

The three of them went to the hospital first to see how serious Zhang Heping's injuries were so that they could comfort Tang Xin and others.

However, what they didn't expect was that the bodyguard who took them to the hospital took them to the cosmetology department.

When they saw Elder Hua, Elder Zheng, and a large group of people gathered in front of the glass partition, looking at the few medical staff inside, as well as a fair-skinned young man wearing only his underwear and looking in the mirror, they were actually a little dazed.

Not to mention what the medical staff were doing nearby, the young man who looked very similar to Zhang Heping but had some abnormalities on his face and neck was holding a scalpel and cutting his own cheek.

Just when Xu Jiefeng couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned to look at other people, she happened to see her daughter Tang Xin hiding behind the crowd, covering her mouth with her hands and trembling.

Xu Jiefeng walked over quickly, took Tang Xin from Chen Shuting, and hugged her daughter who was trembling all over and trying not to cry out loud.

Chen Shuting picked up her youngest son, Zhang Hao, and pointed at Zhang Heping behind the glass partition. She said to her youngest son and her other children, "You all need to be as brave and strong as your father in the future, okay?"

On the other side, Elder Hua, Elder Zheng, and others had different thoughts than the Zhang family.

Like the medical staff, they were very surprised at Zhang Heping's recovery speed!

If it weren't for the severely burned driver for comparison, if the medical staff hadn't witnessed with their own eyes how serious Zhang Heping's injuries were, and if there were no surveillance video to check, they would never have believed that Zhang Heping's medical skills had reached such an amazing level.

Although Zhang Heping had previously cured his old classmate Zhao Jianguo and several other severely burned soldiers, that was all thanks to medication and subsequent surgery.

Not only did that type of treatment last a long time, but the recovery effect wasn't as exaggerated as Zhang Heping's current one.

The key point is that after Zhang Heping woke up from the hydrotherapy cabin, he was still very dissatisfied with the skills of the doctors who performed surgery on him.

So, after leaving the intensive care unit, he came to the cosmetology department, where he took several medical staff from the cosmetology department to tinker with his face and neck.

However, to be honest, his neck has indeed recovered very poorly. There is an obvious asymmetry between the left and right sides, and the injured area feels a little swollen. In fact, the uninjured side is missing a layer of flesh.

In addition, his eyelids, lips, and nose were burned, and now after recovering, they look a bit out of sync.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping did not allow medical staff to record his treatment process last night, otherwise this incident would definitely shock the global medical community!
Just when everyone was watching in shock, a young nurse ran over and said that the return capsule had been delivered.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Heping was seen walking out of the glass door of the beauty department with a face full of band-aids.

Yes, this guy was too lazy to even sew up his wounds and simply stopped pretending. He just had an amazing self-healing ability!
"You all go home and wait for me. I still need to get some medicine for the driver. I'll be back in a bit." Zhang Heping said, wiping away Chen Shuting and Tang Xin's tears, nodding to Elder Hua and Elder Zheng, and then resolutely leaving.

The assistants and students of the space capsule remote control center were all waiting in the hospital lobby at this time. The captain who brought back the small return capsule this morning was also waiting in the lobby to show up.

However, when Zhang Heping came over with a white coat, a pair of blue slippers, a face full of band-aids, and long snow-white legs, he looked really strange.

"Open it!" Zhang Heping casually said to the group of students led by his assistant.

Then, four male students excitedly stepped forward, picked up the tools that had been prepared nearby, and worked together to open the small return capsule that had just been recovered this morning.

"Leave retinal dehydrogenase No. 1a2, and take the other samples back to the laboratory first." Zhang Heping stepped forward, took a reagent in a silver metal tube, then turned and walked towards the intensive care unit.

The ALDH1a2 enzyme can activate the ALDH1a2 gene, thereby turning on the regenerative ability of organisms that has been inactivated during evolution.

Its mechanism of action is very simple. After an organism is injured, it promotes the production of retinoic acid and then induces cells at the wound to start the regeneration process.

It sounds simple, but the hidden gene repair technology and induced cell differentiation technology are enough to open two major disciplines, allowing an ordinary person to study and research until old age.

Zhang Heping is developing this regenerative technology not for the purpose of developing a drug that can extend his lifespan to 200 years, but for organ replacement and to restore Old Zhang and the disabled veterans in the academy to normal life.

"Peace, the domestic media are also cooperating in launching a propaganda offensive!" Old Hua said quickly, following closely behind Zhang Heping.
"In addition, we also plan to publicly launch a small electromagnetic pulse bomb into the Pacific Ocean to test its power."

"At the same time, we've found evidence that the Japanese remotely detonated the truck bomb. Once we find evidence that the Magnesium agent planted the bomb, we'll put pressure on Japan and Magnesium to give you an explanation!"

Zhang Heping paused, frowned, and looked at Elder Hua, saying, "Domestic media reported that I was injured in the bombing?"

"Didn't I let the domestic media report it? What if my mom finds out?"

"Also, don't test the EMP bomb. I want to test one myself!"
