This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 56 Has it reached this level of perfection?

The new suturing technique was very difficult to learn, and we finally found a talented person named Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng, under his own urging, went too far!

There's a significant gap in skill level between my suturing technique and Lu Cheng's. Lu Cheng hasn't even come back yet. How am I supposed to work on this project?
Fortunately, Tong Yuan'an was also a smart man.

After a moment's thought, he quickly edited the message: "Now, it seems there's only one way: you need to relearn our group's sewing technique."

"Yes, you'll come here to learn our group's sewing techniques and improve your proficiency in them."

"In this way, when you compare your superior Tajima technique with our group's suturing method, even the original Professor Tajima is helpless!!!"

"I have no choice but to admit defeat." Tong Yuan'an's mind really works fast, after all, he has the logical thinking ability to score 654 points in the college entrance examination.

Lu Cheng could understand what Tong Yuan'an meant.

Judging from the surface data, the data he manipulated was far better than the original data from Professor Tajima and others, proving that Lu Cheng was even more proficient in the subject than they were.

Although no one likes Murong Fu, the concept of "returning the favor" is still very useful.

Lu Cheng nodded, his tone sincere: "Okay, Teacher Tong, I'm willing to learn too!"

Tong Yuan'an had no interest in talking to Lu Cheng anymore. The first thing he did after taking off his gloves was to take a picture of the spreadsheet on his computer and send it to his teacher.

Then, Tong Yuan'an immediately called Professor Zhou Yunhui, who had replied to him. Tong Yuan'an's voice was slightly strained: "Master..."

Zhou Yunhui asked, "What happened? Why are the test results so different?"

"Did you get the materials mixed up?"

Tong Yuan'an said, "No, Master. Based on the speculation of Xiao Lu and me, it is possible that Xiao Lu's mastery of Tajima's stitching technique is even higher than that of the original creator."

Zhou Yunhui paused for two or three seconds, his tone slightly distorted: "Tong Yuan'an, do you also think I'm getting senile? Do you know what you're saying?"

Tong Yuan'an said obediently, "Master, please take another close look at the raw data of Professor Tajima and his colleagues' published article!"

"If Professor Tajima and his team could obtain this set of data from Riku, would they have kept it hidden?"

“Xiao Lu uses the same techniques as them, but gets higher scores. There’s only one possibility: Xiao Lu is more skilled than them.”

“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense!” Tong Yuan’an’s explanation was reasonable and well-founded!
Zhou Yunhui fell silent upon hearing this, continuing to browse through the data sent by Tong Yuan'an, the sound of clicking the mouse crisp and clear.

Then, his tone was as if Old Qu's testicles had been stepped on, filled with pain: "You... how did you teach this? You actually have this kind of ability?"

A stroke of genius? No, this is called creating something from nothing.

"Master, it's because Xiao Lu's learning talent is too amazing. He can reach this level both in theory and in practice."

“Master, you should understand this: once a new sewing technique is developed, it is impossible to master it immediately; it requires continuous refinement.”

“Xiao Lu? I don’t understand either, but that’s the truth. Master, I think we can…” Tong Yuan’an said enthusiastically.

Zhou Yunhui said, "There's no need!"

Tong Yuan'an thought Professor Zhou Yunhui had said what he wanted to say, and immediately replied, "Master, it was Chen Song who registered Lu Cheng with Professor Xiang Dongshan."

"This might be a bit troublesome..."

Tong Yuan'an spoke directly, revealing the name "Xiang Dongshan," and Professor Zhou Yunhui should understand what was going on.

Actually, Xiang Dongshan works in the emergency department, and Zhou Yunhui works in hand surgery. Even if they are familiar with each other, they wouldn't have a deep memory of each other.

Professor Xiang Dongshan is so memorable! Among his peers, everyone avoids him, and no one can rival him.

“I said it’s unnecessary… What’s with all this talk about Xiangdongshan or not? What does it have to do with the Xiangdongshan cannon?” Zhou Yunhui said.

Tong Yuan'an asked anxiously, "Master...is there no need?"

Zhou Yunhui bluntly stated: "Take a good look at the data that Xiao Lu produced. How much better can your technique be? You're presenting data that's less than five percent better than others. Are you trying to embarrass yourself in the industry?" "Yuan'an, when we do research projects, if they are of substantial significance, I can understand that you've put a lot of effort into this suturing technique. But you have to admit that your skills are inferior to others. That's the basic quality of a researcher."

"On the road of scientific research, there will never be a shortage of fallen bones; either you will be buried or someone else will be buried..."

“If this research topic were truly of substantial significance, Tan Zhongyu wouldn’t have let you handle it so easily.”

"And to further improve upon this and reach a new peak is not something you can do in the short term."

Zhou Yunhui spoke up, extinguishing Tong Yuan'an's idea.

After listening, Tong Yuan'an thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and replied, "Master..."

“Let me tell you, Master, on the fifth day after I came to Longxian County from the countryside, Professor Xie Xiao from the Department of Hand Surgery at Hubei Union Hospital called me out of the blue.”

"Xie Xiao from Peking Union Medical College Hospital? Is she calling you?"

Zhou Yunhui was completely baffled: "Isn't this going a bit around the bush? Why should I call you?"

"I do not know?"

"At first I thought it was because Professor Xie knew Lu Cheng, since Lu Cheng had studied for his undergraduate degree in Wuhan."

"But upon closer reflection, Lu Cheng studied at Wuhan University, while Union Hospital is affiliated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The two are not in the same system."

"Thinking about it this way, Chen Song, an emergency room worker, simply can't possibly capture Lu Cheng's learning ability!"

"It's just that he's a bit too old..." Tong Yuan'an used his logical reasoning skills, which scored 654 points, to make a well-founded deduction.

Zhou Yunhui said, "It's meaningless. The foundation is still too weak. There is basically no scientific research foundation. In the end, he is just a senior technician."

"What's wrong with learning surgery quickly?"

"Our hospital has no shortage of people who can learn surgery. What kind of surgery is it that we deliberately try to learn but just can't?"

"Our mission is to develop surgical procedures that can offer a glimmer of hope to patients with incurable diseases..."

"You should stick to your original path, go to the countryside, teach the people there some skills, and put aside other thoughts."

"You must acknowledge that your current abilities are limited. Professors Tsushita and Tajima, both renowned hand surgeons, are world-class experts in hand surgery. Their success is due to a combination of opportunity and talent, and they are not people you can easily compete with."

"If you are fixated on this, you may be fixated on this for the rest of your life." As his mentor, Zhou Yunhui gave Tong Yuan'an detailed guidance on his future path.

Tong Yuan'an sighed...

……

In the study, Lu Cheng saw the message Mu Nanshu had sent: "What? How did it get like this?"

"Why is it that Professor Tajima's original measurement data is inferior to yours?"

Lu Cheng typed back: "I don't know either? These techniques were taught to me by Professor Tong Yuan'an. He told me that techniques can come from abroad, but they are used on our own people."

"So I must strive for perfection, and I'll strive for perfection..."

Mu Nanshu sent a voice message: "So you've gone to this extreme? Lu Cheng, when did you become so Versailles?"

Lu Cheng smiled and replied calmly, "I don't own Versailles, I really don't understand."

"Actually, Professor Tong doesn't understand either, and he didn't see Professor Tajima's operation on the spot."

"The key issue is that I don't know the exact level of Professor Tong's suturing technique. Both of them were conducting their own double-blind tests..."

"But it seems like blindness has become a bit reckless..."

Mu Nanshu: "..."
