Chapter 631: Young people are terrible
Academician Xiang and Professor He waited for more than an hour before Yang Ping arrived belatedly. Traffic jams are sometimes very time-consuming. This is the case in urban areas during rush hours, so cars can only move patiently and slowly.
"Professor Yang is here!"
When he saw Yang Ping walking into the office, Professor He immediately stood up to greet him.
"Professor Yang! Hello!"
The old academician followed up, immediately held Yang Ping's hand, and greeted him warmly.
Yang Ping was stunned, Academician Xiang?
The old academician has never met Yang Ping, but Yang Ping has met the old academician many times. To Yang Ping, the old academician is an acquaintance. The old academician has a very good relationship with the orthopedic community and is often invited to participate in the orthopedic year of Nandu Province. Yang Ping gave a wonderful speech at the annual meeting. Yang Ping heard it in the audience countless times. He even took a group photo with the old academician before.
Taking photos with celebrities at the beginning of a school is similar to actors taking pictures on the red carpet. They are just for the camera to brag and boost one's self-worth.
So Yang Ping recognized at a glance that this was Academician Xiang. How could he let the old academician call him "Professor Yang"? Yang Ping quickly helped the old academician sit down:
"Mr. Xiang, you should call me Xiao Yang. You call me Professor Yang. My legs are a little shaky."
Professor He originally wanted to make an introduction, but the instructor was so excited that he shook Yang Ping's hand before he could introduce himself. Since everyone already knew each other, the introduction step was omitted.
"Professor Yang is Professor Yang. Regardless of academic seniority, a hero comes from a young age. Not bad." Mr. Xiang met Yang Ping for the first time. He was more in line with the image in his mind. He was steady, confident and cheerful, and also had a bit of humor. , I like this young man very much.
Yang Ping stood in front of the old professor and let the old academician look at him, just like a grandpa looks at his grandson. The old academician became more and more satisfied as he looked at him.
"Don't stand, sit down. Your legs won't shake when you sit down and talk!"
The old academician heard the name Yang Ping countless times from Professor He, and then heard it countless times from Professor Su.
He took the lead in recommending Yang Ping for an exceptional promotion to associate professor.
Academician Xiang finally met the real person today.
Just like seeing your long-lost relatives, you are as happy as you want to be.
If he hadn't been studying Yang Ping's project plan these days, Academician Xiang would not be so anxious to see Yang Ping. After studying the project plan, he could no longer suppress his ecstasy and hoped to see Yang Ping immediately, so the old academician He told Professor He that if Yang Ping comes to the Digital Medicine Laboratory, notify him immediately.
Everyone sat down, and the old academician felt much calmer.
"I just talked about your project design, stem cell cultured muscle, why is it embedded in the research on nerve damage repair? And there are still a lot of resources allocated to this sub-project? Nerve damage repair and organ cloning seem a bit unrelated, right?" Academician Xiang made no secret of his concern for Yang Ping and talked about the topic in just three sentences.
"Because if the muscle is successfully cloned and transplanted into the human body, the muscle lacking innervation will be a piece of dead meat with no function and no value. Therefore, the nerve damage research will be packaged together so that the muscle can be truly applied to the human body in the future. "Yang Ping's idea is also simple. It is a big topic anyway, and it is not lacking in this. It is all packaged into one piece.
Either don’t do this topic, or if you want to do it, study the entire link.
"You are preparing to stew in one pot. This project of yours should be pursued in two ways? Is there any research on micro-printed biological connections over 3D printing?" Xiang Lao wanted to verify his guess, but the bet with Professor He has not yet been completed. Winning or losing.
The Digital Medicine Laboratory is only responsible for the study of muscle microanatomy and does not know much about 3D bioprinting research. However, Academician Xiang speculated that there will be research in this area based on Yang Ping's project design.
Yang Ping nodded: "This is the key route for nerve damage repair. I believe that only repair at the cellular level can truly repair nerve damage. Other routes are temporary excessive solutions."
It's really a hit to the nail on the head. Only academician Xiang Lao, an expert who has been engaged in clinical anatomy all his life, can clearly see this.
Sometimes regarding the development trend of technology, it requires extremely high judgment to determine which path is correct for the future.
The progress of clinical technology depends on the progress of basic theory. A breakthrough in basic theory directly brings about the innovation of multiple treatment concepts and treatment methods.
"Repair at the cellular level is really a bold idea. Have you ever thought about the difficulty? How many cutting-edge technological breakthroughs are involved?" The old academician looked at Yang Ping deeply.
Scientific researchers must have the ambition to conquer the stars and the sea.
"After thinking about it, we have made long-term plans for this project and will overcome the difficulties one by one." Yang Ping has never been afraid of the difficulty of the project. If he only focuses on surgery and does not work hard on scientific research, it will be a waste of resources.
"Young people are scary. Young people are ambitious. When doing scientific research, you need to be calm, patient, and perseverant. Don't be eager for quick success. Just like knocking off brown sugar, knock it off piece by piece. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are determined." The old academician said with emotion. , I admire Yang Ping’s ambition very much.
"Professor Yang is really conducting research on cell repair of nerve damage." Professor He admired his tutor's judgment very much.
"Really, let me just say, there should be repair at the cellular level? This kind of repair at the cellular level is what I call biological connections. To truly achieve a breakthrough in nerve damage, we must start with cell repair. Everything else is a waste of time. No results can be achieved." Academician Xiang was proud of his victory.
Professor He admired his tutor's unique vision very much, but at the same time he felt that his own vision was still narrow and severely limited by professional knowledge.
Professional suppression is insurmountable. The modern knowledge system is huge and professional division of labor is meticulous. Talents in each major are very familiar with the knowledge within the major, but have very little understanding of knowledge outside the major, leaving them in a state of blindness.
This requires cooperation among various majors, but there are dead ends in cooperation. For example, areas where majors intersect are common dead ends.
Once someone is proficient in multiple majors and is very familiar with interdisciplinary areas, it will be easier to get some breakthroughs.
Three levels of surgery: resection, repair, and reconstruction.
The essence of restoration is restoration, restoring original structure and function.
Because nerves are composed of cells, nerve damage is ultimately caused by the damage or loss of each cell. To repair them exactly the same, it is impossible to rely on the human body's own ability to achieve this kind of repair, and must rely on artificial technology to complete it.
Artificial technology is nothing more than removing the damaged cells one by one, and then replacing the missing cells one by one. The types of cells and the way they are interconnected are exactly the same as before.
Just like when a wall is damaged, you must find identical bricks to repair, and the adhesive between the bricks must be the same as before.
If nerve damage can really be repaired at the cellular level, this would be Nobel Prize-level.
Whether young people can do it is one thing. First they dare to think, then they dare to do it, and they can come up with an effective plan. As for whether they can succeed in the future.
Just focus on climbing without caring about the height!
In the history of world science and technology, there are countless examples of failure, and those who succeeded are only a few. However, the cases of failure provide lessons for successors. Failure is the mother of success. Without failure, there would be no subsequent success. However, Academician Xiang feels that Yang Ping's general direction is correct. Even if it cannot achieve complete success, it will achieve partial results.
This kind of subject, even a small breakthrough, can definitely affect the world, and the future generations will be formidable!
Academician Xiang sighed again.
"Since 3D bioprinting can print organs, it can naturally repair damaged nerve tissue and restore the damaged parts with 3D printing to achieve the purpose of repair." Yang Ping is very confident in his idea.
"Let's go have a meal together and chat while we eat. I'll be the host."
Academician Xiang raised his wrist to look at his watch. He was so absorbed in chatting that he forgot to eat. It was rare to be so happy and it was rare to eat out.
"Mr. Xiang rarely eats out. Today is all about you." Professor He said to Yang Ping with a smile.
Yang Ping felt a little flattered. An old academician in his nineties was waiting for him here and even invited him to dinner. This kind of love and care for young people was so precious.
Academician Xiang wanted to stand up. After sitting for a long time, his knee joints were not very flexible.
Yang Ping hurriedly went to help him: "Mr. Xiang, how about asking the students to treat us? I have long wanted to meet Mr. Xiang, but I was afraid of disturbing your peace, so I never dared to tell Professor He."
With Yang Ping's help, Academician Xiang stood up and moved a few times, and his knee joints became flexible again.
"I've agreed to treat you, young man, don't be nagging, let's go! Professor He, go to the place you ordered. The quality is okay. Don't worry about my money. I have a pension and subsidies." Academician Xiang entrusted Professor He. I helped book the hotel and just paid for it myself. I brought my briefcase with me, so I definitely had plenty of money with me.
"Why are you also called Professor He? Call me Xiao He?"
Professor He knew that this tutor often had some lighthearted jokes.
"We are all professors, so why is it your turn to be Xiao Yang and Xiao He? Really? Professors, do you want to have some drinks?" The old academician was a little moody today and actually asked for a drink.
"Don't be afraid, we're all on schedule. Professor He will arrange for a driver to take you back then?" The old academician made clear arrangements.
Today, the instructor was really happy. He usually drinks a little wine when there are happy events. For example, when the digital man research was successful, he drank a little wine.
I met Yang Ping today and had such a happy chat that he even asked for a drink.
"Okay! Have a drink." Yang Ping did not dare to dampen the old academician's enthusiasm.
"Did Madam approve it?" Professor He took up the task.
The old academician is very masculine: "Do you need her approval for a little drink? But I have already reported it, don't worry."
Professor He also called several professors and doctors from the laboratory together. Everyone is usually immersed in experiments and rarely goes out. Today, Mr. Xiang is treating us, so everyone goes to relax.
The dinner was held in a relatively high-end hotel near Nandu Medical University. Academician Xiang said hello in advance, and the quality should not be low, otherwise young people will think that the old man is stingy.
Everyone who can drink has a small drink, but everyone does what they can. Even if it is a small cup, there is no pressure to drink, and no glass is dry. There is no way that if you don't drink, you will not give face. Clinking glasses is also meaningful, and everyone is free to do so.
Academician Xiang was in high spirits and discussed issues related to the project with Yang Ping during the meeting.
Professor He is very happy. Being able to work with such a genius will make his work more enjoyable and more confident.
Several professors and doctoral students in other laboratories know clearly that they have also consulted relevant information on the grand topics they are currently involved in.
No one has yet started this kind of research on establishing digital organs based on fine anatomy. It is a completely new field, which shows that our subject is groundbreaking in the world.
Regardless of whether results can be produced in the future, for scientific researchers, studying the world's leading technologies will definitely give them a great sense of accomplishment and honor.
After a few rounds of drinking, the old academician took Yang Ping’s hand: “How do you think our digital people should develop in the future?”
Yang Ping calmed down: "Go in the direction of fine anatomy and functional construction. Without fine anatomy, true functional simulation cannot be achieved. It is best to have a supercomputer as the basis to break down the human body into cells, then cells to build tissues, and then tissues to build organs. , no matter how many organs make up the human body, only digital humans at the cellular level are truly digital humans with subtle anatomy. Massive cell data must be supported by supercomputers.”
A digital human with subtle anatomy at the cellular level?
Academician Xiang muttered to himself, this is a super project, and it is no longer possible for him to participate in it, but it is also a meritorious thing to promote it in his lifetime.
"You are absolutely right. Digital humans must develop towards the cellular level. In the process of constructing the fine anatomy of muscles, you must learn how to construct the fine anatomy of the human body. In the future, I hope to start research on digital humans at the cellular level."
Academician Xiang warned Professor He.
Today's meal was really worth it. The professors and doctors here were all very excited when they heard that they would be involved in such a huge project in the future, just like those who are engaged in aerospace majors when they heard that they were going to participate in the moon landing program.
"I went back and suggested to President Rao that we add a supercomputer to the laboratory and use it to conduct research on the fine anatomy of digital humans in the future. If the research results are successful, this will be a major event that will benefit the country and the people. Many medical researches in the future can be supported by our digital humans. Come to research, such as drug development, device design, medical education, automobile safety experiments, and even space exploration, etc.” The fuzzy future in the old academician’s mind became very clear.
"Come on, young people are awesome, let's have a drink?" the old academician raised his cup.
Yang Ping clinked glasses with the old academician and each took a sip.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me. We old people, sometimes it's better to talk a little." The old academician told Yang Ping frankly.
"Thank you. Mr. Xiang cares so much for us young people. The younger generation will definitely work hard." Yang Ping thanked him.
This atmosphere is really good!
Yang Ping feels very comfortable. With so many people supporting him, this project will definitely yield results soon.
"Call a driver to take Professor Yang back later." The old academician did not forget to tell Professor He.
