System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

He operated the machine alone and recorded the data himself, focused and meticulous.

At this moment, Dai Linfang exhibited such a professional demeanor that Lu Cheng felt somewhat confused, because he considered himself an outsider in the field of experimentation.

Lu Cheng pushed the door open: ”Brother Dai, you really are here?”

Dai Linfang had anesthetized and fixed the rabbit, conducting a CT scan. The rabbit was peaceful and not struggling at all, so after the examination, Dai Linfang didn’t immediately release it from the restraints.

”Why are you here, Brother Lu? Aren’t you supposed to be meeting with Dr. Mu?” Dai Linfang’s voice finally carried a hint of apology.

Lu Cheng replied, ”She went home. When you called me just now, I was talking to her on the phone.”

Dai Linfang gently moved aside half a step: ”Brother Lu, come and see.”

Lu Cheng came over to Dai Linfang, carefully reading the different layers of the rabbit’s liver displayed on the computer screen from the scan.

”Brother Dai, did you do this?” Lu Cheng asked while turning his head.

”Well, I reviewed Zhang Xibei’s operation records and experiment plan book... Of course, I also consulted other teachers in this field,” Dai Linfang replied.

”I think the results are okay!”

Replicating the liver injury from clinical emergency patients onto healthy rabbits and ensuring their stable survival is no easy task.

The clinical templates chosen for replication are generally emergency cases that require surgery to survive.

These cases have to be replicated in rabbits, giving them a certain survival time, which sounds quite contrary to natural laws.

Yet, this is the norm for medical progress.

Without the sacrifice of rabbits and mice, there would be no advancement in personal skills or progress in disciplines!

”What do you want to do, Brother Dai?” Although Lu Cheng was satisfied with what Dai Linfang had done, he still didn’t quite understand the significance of Dai Linfang’s actions.

Was it to prove that Zhang Xibei and Ni Xixin were of little use?

”I just want to advance the experiment and project progress. The sooner they reach clinical application and settle, the sooner we can work on subsequent projects.”

”The faster these procedural issues are pushed forward, the better,” Dai Linfang replied.

”It’s okay, right? Brother Lu?”

Dai Linfang’s expression was calm, not as if he was bragging, but as if he was calmly communicating with Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng glanced at Dai Linfang, then checked his skill points balance: 105.5 points.

After a brief thought, Lu Cheng decided to allocate them to [Basic Animal Experiment Operations: (Specialization 20/20) (Skill Points-30)], [Animal Model Operation Techniques: (Specialization 20/20) (Skill Points-30)]!

Accumulating 60 skill points takes a long time, but spending them happens in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, a new protocol appeared—

[Animal Model: Clinical Model Replication Technique (Unnamed) (Beginner 1/5)].

With a thought, Lu Cheng adjusted the skill protocol slightly [Animal Model: Clinical Model Replication Technique (Unnamed) (Specialization 16/20) (Skill Points-45)].

”It’s okay, but I also have some ideas.” Lu Cheng was genuinely a bit overwhelmed by Dai Linfang.

Although Dai Linfang didn’t expect praise from Lu Cheng, he never imagined Lu Cheng would say this suddenly, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words.

Lu Cheng then went back to the animal room on his own, grabbed another rabbit, anesthetized it skillfully, and opened its abdomen.

After dissecting the liver, he used some specialized replication tools to perform ”blurring” on the liver!

Dai Linfang naturally followed immediately, and upon realizing what Lu Cheng was doing, he slightly opened his mouth.

Seeing the seriousness in Lu Cheng’s eyes without any hint of mockery, his expression gradually became serious.

Half an hour later, Lu Cheng brought the rabbit model to the machine.

CT scan, disease interpretation—

Comparison with clinical cases.

Fortunately, Dai Linfang indeed had a background in general surgery; he had clinical expertise. After Lu Cheng confirmed that his replication operation had no major issues, Dai Linfang immersed himself in the computer, earnestly reviewing.

After a full half hour, Dai Linfang remained silent, as if his throat had been numbed with anesthesia.

However, to Lu Cheng’s surprise, the first sentence Dai Linfang said was: ”Brother Lu, can you demonstrate these operations a few more times for me?”

Lu Cheng replied, ”No problem!”

”Brother Dai, I mean, we don’t need to prove whether others’ abilities are good or not. We should assess whether their skills are suitable for the project. It’s impossible for just one or two of us to complete everything.”

Dai Linfang appeared somewhat distracted, probably because his resolve had been shaken.

Originally, he intended to tell Lu Cheng that his own skills were adequate, having developed prototypes of what Ni Xixin couldn’t accomplish, but unexpectedly, Lu Cheng immediately provided the reference answer upon arrival.

...

Lu Cheng only taught Dai Linfang once, which was enough to completely send him off.

Dai Linfang didn’t stay in the lab but chose to leave with Lu Cheng.

Dai Linfang seemed a bit reticent on the way, silent throughout.

Lu Cheng said, ”Brother Dai, it’s still holiday time now. Let’s not overthink. Projects need to be taken one step at a time, no rush!”

”I’m going back first; you should go back and rest too.”

Lu Cheng could see Dai Linfang’s skills; putting aside his persona and character, his abilities were undoubtedly outstanding.

”Hmm, okay!~” Dai Linfang calmed down, his tone gentle, as if worried about agitating Lu Cheng.

...

However, Lu Cheng initially thought Dai Linfang would remain quiet for a while, but unexpectedly, on the sixth day of the lunar new year, before Lu Cheng went for his evening shift at the emergency ward.

Dai Linfang sent Lu Cheng two recorded videos.

”Brother Lu, I’ve succeeded, it’s very stable.”

”The operation technique and ideas you mentioned are very correct. With this, once Ni Xixin and Zhang Xibei arrive, we can immediately start applying the suturing technique in liver preservation surgery.”

”Look, Brother Lu, here...” Dai Linfang explained while pointing out circles on the CT layers with his mouse, as if afraid Lu Cheng might miss the key areas.

Seeing all this, Lu Cheng scratched his temples, clearly surprised.

Wasn’t it? Just one day later??

Less than a day’s time?

Dai Linfang has replicated the model?

Did he also set off?

This fact forced Lu Cheng to reevaluate the theories Dai Linfang previously mentioned.

The efficiency of repeating others’ techniques is comparatively ineffective ”efficiency”!

With gems before, gems will inevitably follow.

Many learn quickly, but learning doesn’t equate to research; the soul of research lies in innovation and synthesis.

This requires opportunities and integrative capabilities, not merely learning skills.

If Xie Yuan’an’s learning ability is 1, Mu Nanshu probably has 2.3!

Setting aside the attributes, Lu Cheng speculated he might have 2.5-3, roughly comparable to the doctoral students mentored by Chen Song and Tong Yuan’an, or perhaps slightly better.

However, Dai Linfang’s learning ability definitely falls into double digits compared to this standard.

It’s certainly this exaggerated.

Lu Cheng: ”...”

”Brother Dai, didn’t I tell you to stop tinkering with this? It can greatly affect other people’s mindset.”

Dai Linfang replied, ”Brother Lu, without the mindset of giving up and acknowledging one’s inferiority, how can one excel in research?”

”It’s just being technically inferior, not the end of the world.”

Lu Cheng, after reading, was truly amazed by Dai Linfang’s resilience.

No wonder he’s a ’second generation’ who has mishandled millions in project funds; Dai Linfang’s mindset is unrelated to his age, purely derived from upbringing and experience...

Lu Cheng believes, even if it were Chen Song and others, bearing the pressure of wasting so much funding without outcomes, their mindset would already have collapsed.

But Dai Linfang, entering a top-tier project group, still wouldn’t settle down...

Lu Cheng didn’t respond, and Dai Linfang continued, ”Of course, I absolutely respect your pace of progress, Brother Lu!”
