The operation is over and the patient is returned to the ward.
August and Robert took Ivan to sit in the dressing room to rest. The three of them sat in a row on a long chair.
Dr. Ivan obviously still hasn't figured it out, or he has fallen into it.
I just read my own book, and I can do such a beautiful operation, which is almost the same as my own level.
I am not an average person, I represent the top level in this industry.
Is it so easy to achieve the world's top level? No matter what Dr. Ivan said, it was difficult for him to understand.
Even a cross-border giant like Maninstein needs time to achieve results, and it takes a certain amount of time to achieve results in new fields.
"Are you still thinking about this problem?" August looked worried at Ivan's dazed eyes.
Ivan nodded: "How is it possible? He just read my book and can do the same as me? How is it possible?"
August shook his head helplessly: "It's not that he can do the same as you, he can do better than you. As Robert said, you are a human being, and he is a half-human and half-god existence. They are not on the same level as you." The gap with him is like—yes, the gap between Tyson and the Hulk.”
The gap between Tyson and the Hulk - these are Takahashi's words, and August felt that this sentence was most appropriate to explain at this time.
Tyson is already the strongest in the world, but no matter how strong he is, how can he be compared with the Hulk? This is not a matter of hard work, talent determines the gap.
Dr. Ivan murmured to himself, repeating August's words, and then recalled his experience of contacting Yang Ping during this period.
When they met for the first time, Professor Yang readily agreed to share the in vitro skin expansion technology with him. It was the first time they met, and he was so generous.
The second time, during the shift handover in the morning, Professor Yang used a whiteboard pen to draw a medical drawing that was comparable to his own.
The third time was to trim the dough, and he was able to shape it in one go, without too much trouble, and the shape just matched.
The fourth operation is today's surgery. Although it is only the shaping of the auricle and nostril, the level of surgery can be seen - extremely high!
This is because Professor Yang has no interest in plastic surgery. If he was interested, he probably wouldn't know how far away he would be.
"Professor Yang has no interest in plastic surgery, so why would he devote his energy to researching in vitro skin amplification technology?" Ivan couldn't help but ask.
August had no choice but to tell the truth: "Pour all your energy into it? For him, how can he devote all his energy to the in vitro skin amplification technology? This is a result that he came up with easily. He didn't spend much time at all. His main energy is not here." ”
"You said this topic is not his main research field?" Ivan didn't believe it.
This kind of in vitro skin expansion technology would have been impossible to succeed without five or ten years of continuous research. Even a genius like Maninstein took several years, and Professor Yang's technical route is completely different from Maninstein's. Different, relatively more advanced and more difficult.
"The professor originally wanted me to connect with others and learn Professor Maninstein's technology, but later he found it too troublesome, so he simply started his own research on in vitro skin amplification technology. It seems that in less than a month, he came up with this new technology. , and then taught this technology to Tang Shun, who came back from Japan. In the eyes of the professor, this technology is not even worth fifty cents, so when you need this technology, he will give it to you without hesitation, Because, to him, it’s just fifty cents, and giving you fifty cents is nothing.”
Fifty cents, this metaphor is too harsh.
Dr. Ivan's heart suddenly felt cold. It turned out that what he was pursuing so hard was only worth fifty cents, and helplessness and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Ivan? Are you okay, don't mind, I mean -" August felt that it was too much, and for Ivan, he was not mentally prepared enough to accept something.
Robert said to Ivan seriously: "What he said is too exaggerated. To the professor, this technology is only worth 50 cents. I hate others using such exaggerated techniques to sensationalize and deliberately create a shocking effect." Gust, a guy who doesn't rely on common knowledge, actually uses fifty cents to describe such a precious technology. If this is true, many technologies in the world are only worth fifty cents.
Ivan felt relieved, and then looked at Robert expectantly, waiting for him to re-quote.
Robert thought for a while: "Ivan, this kind of technology cannot be so cheap in the professor's mind. He is at least worth-"
"How much is it worth?" Ivan asked eagerly.
"Ten dollars!" Robert held out a finger.
Ten yuan? Is it different from Wumao?
Ivan was disappointed again. There was essentially no big difference between ten yuan and fifty cents.
"Ivan, don't be depressed. There is a Chinese saying that a beggar competes with the Dragon King for treasures. Do you know what it means?" Robert's Chinese skills are getting deeper and deeper.
Ivan shook his head: I don’t know.
"The Dragon King is the god who has the most treasures, but the beggar has nothing. The Dragon King randomly takes out something that he thinks is worthless. For the beggar, it may be a priceless treasure that he will never get in his lifetime. Do you understand what I mean?" Robert asked.
After Robert's explanation, Ivan understood a little bit: "You said Professor Yang is the one with the most treasures, and I am the beggar?"
"Not just you, we all. This is just a metaphor. I don't mean to insult you. I just want to tell you the truth. When the beggar meets the Dragon King, there is no need to compare treasures or think about why the Dragon King has With so many treasures, the smartest thing to do is to make friends with the Dragon King, help him work, even sweep the floor, and then naturally take away a few treasures for free." Robert advised Ivan.
Ivan was a smart man. He thought about what Robert said and suddenly understood.
"You are such a philosopher!" Ivan couldn't help but praise Robert. This American was indeed thoughtful.
"You heard him right, fellow, I am doing the same thing now. Now there is a problem. If you want to join us and become one of us, you must be sincere." August patted Ivan on the shoulder.
"Sincerity? I am very sincere. I came here because of the reputation, and then my book or draft was handed over to Professor Yang for free." Ivan felt that he was full of sincerity.
August shook his head: "Not enough."
"Then what should I do?" Ivan was confused.
Robert said mysteriously: "You must hand over your vote."
Robert really didn’t know how to translate the name of the certificate in English, so he could only use bloodoath instead.
"Bloodoath?" Ivan became more and more confused.
August leaned over: "Don't be intimidated. It's just a greeting gift to show your sincerity. This greeting gift must be of sufficient weight. Well, the professor has a paper on the treatment of scoliosis using external spinal fixation technology, which was submitted in " "Science" magazine, Professor Maninstein is a reviewer. What I mean is that if you want to stay and work here, you should persuade that stubborn guy to review the paper in advance and let the paper pass. I have already talked to Maninstein. He didn’t waver, so I asked the guys from Charité to help. He still didn’t waver, but he was already loose. If you act as a lobbyist once, he will definitely change his mind and review the manuscript in advance.”
"Is this important? It's just a paper? With Professor Yang's current technology, why would he care about this manuscript?" Ivan didn't understand.
"Important, very important. If Professor Yang's paper is published in advance, his PhD will be able to graduate early." August explained the importance and urgency of the matter.
Ivan is really confused now. Professor Yang hasn't graduated as a Ph.D. yet? Still a student? And then the professor? And then-——
Oops, it's such an uncomfortable mess and a headache.
