Chapter 1166: Chapter 921: Re-learning Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry_2

The engineering team at Ruixing took turns in shifts around the clock, tirelessly updating the firmware. Each piece of equipment had to be updated individually, and after the updates, they had to check for compatibility issues and perform various adjustments. If things went smoothly it was fine, but if they ran into trouble, they had to identify the reasons and then solve the problems.

The engineers worked without sleep or rest, forgoing food and rest, and it took five days to update all the machines involved in the three experiments.

Looking at the heaps of equipment in the lab, worth hundreds of millions, now ready to operate again.

Seeing each engineer with bloodshot eyes, Yang Ping was reminded of Professor Zhang Zongshun’s words, "Science has its boundaries."

At the time, some countered with examples to the contrary. Professor Zhang Zongshun said that even in the brutal Second World War, there were instances that gleamed with the light of humanity, but do those few examples prove that the war wasn’t cruel?

Finding a ring in a trash heap does not mean the ring originates from the garbage, it represents an anomaly, not the norm.

After updating the equipment in this laboratory, the engineers had to rush to the Digital Medical Laboratory and the Genetics Laboratory at Nandu Medical University, as all their machines had crashed as well, rendering them unusable. These two labs were partners in Yang Ping’s research project.

It was only when Tang Shun saw all the equipment rebooted that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, without these machines, all experiments would be forced to a halt. Trying out the domestic software, Tang Shun found it was not so inferior after all; it was quite convenient and suited to local habits.

Updating the crashed laboratory equipment was just the first step, followed by the gradual replacement of imported equipment with autonomous ones.

But as these were first-generation products and not very stable, they couldn’t completely replace the original equipment, and would only be able to after the new machines improved through use. Then they could fully replace the old ones.

This sudden machine lock from the adversary certainly caused losses to the lab; the ongoing experiments had to restart since unexpected factors now made many originally controlled or constant factors uncontrollable or variable, leading to significant deviations in the experimental data.

Experiments require precision, and any deviation could lead to failure in the final outcomes.

For Yang Ping, these temporary difficulties were trivial. Although they caused a slight impact, it was negligible. To think that such measures could stall his research was a fool’s dream.

Although Yang Ping had been solely focused on medical research without much attention to the research tools, ’A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well.’ He now found himself forced to divert some energy to study these tools used in biological and medical research.

Yang Ping’s knowledge was primarily in the field of medicine, but to overcome the current difficulties, he began reading extensively on subjects like mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He decided to accumulate some know-how in experimental equipment, thinking that developing new hardware and software might boost his research capabilities significantly.

Expanding his breadth of knowledge would naturally broaden his scientific horizon, enhancing his understanding of scientific research.

He had never considered these issues before, but now he had no choice but to face them.

In the System Space, these experimental equipment faced no restrictions; as long as it existed on Earth, it could all be purchased with points, unlike in reality where he was suppressed by these corporate giants.

Yang Ping entered the System Space, where he spent numerous points to acquire a lot of equipment. Then, one by one, he began to dismantle them in the System Space, measuring and inspecting each component, essentially gauging the dimensions of parts and testing their materials.

As he examined the software of the experimental equipment line by line, Yang Ping felt that the training in the System Space had significantly improved his learning abilities.

Do it yourself, and you’ll have plenty to eat and wear!

If it weren’t for the international giants stirring things up, would Yang Ping have ever spent energy relearning mathematics, physics, and chemistry or dedicated time to research experimental equipment? This was essentially forcing him to upgrade his knowledge, wasn’t it?

In the morning, after finishing surgery, Yang Ping hurriedly had his lunch at noon.

In the afternoon, there was an academic conference at Nandu Medical University about the future prospects of stem cell research, targeted at young Doctors. Yang Ping was scheduled to give a half-hour presentation on spatial orientation gene theory.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Ping arrived at Nandu Medical University on time. His presentation was at two-thirty, and to avoid any traffic congestion, he arrived half an hour early. Principal Ruo personally came to receive him, accompanied by Professor He and Academician Xiang.

Professor He walked with Yang Ping into the venue. When it was Yang Ping’s turn to speak, he explained the spatial orientation gene theory in depth yet in an accessible manner.

Understanding spatial orientation genes is like grasping the relativity theory in physics—there are not many who can truly comprehend it.

"The development process of our human body from the factory of wonders starts from just a fertilized egg. This egg develops into a complex human body in the womb over the course of ten months. We take this natural process for granted, but have anyone ever considered the essential task the fertilized egg performs is cell division? It’s just division over and over, countless cells developing in different directions. We’ve begun to uncover the mystery, for example, we can now cultivate various types of cells using stem cells, but we’ve overlooked something. Why do countless cells autonomously construct a three-dimensional structure and eventually form the complex human body during the developmental process from a fertilized egg to an adult? Why can it complete such complex and immense work? It’s all hidden in our genes. The gene responsible for the spatial construction of cells is the spatial orientation gene, without which the cells wouldn’t know their rightful places or how to ’join hands’ with their neighbors."

"Professor Yang, I am Dr. Li Yingtong from Harvard University, specializing in stem cell research. I’ve been pondering how exactly the spatial orientation gene instructs cells in spatial configuration—what tools does it use? Your paper mentioned it has a complex positioning system; for instance, the exchange of information between lead cells, something akin to a magnetic pole within a cell that another cell senses and uses the sensed direction to find its position and establish a corresponding connection. My question is, in such a grand construction project, how do cells manage not to make mistakes? This type of neighbor-to-neighbor positioning forms a chain; if a mistake occurs, it would propagate, and while deformities may appear in our fetuses, it’s exceedingly rare for a fertilized egg to develop into something other than a fetus."

This Doctor from Harvard had an Asian face and, judging by her extremely fluent Chinese, she was likely Chinese. She was slightly over 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a light yellow T-shirt and blue and white jeans, with fair and rosy skin—she was stunningly attractive both in appearance and figure and had a very pleasant voice.

The question she raised was anything but superficial—quite profound indeed. It was a question that could only have been posed by one of the few people capable of understanding the theory of spatial orientation genes.

If it were someone else, they would no doubt be astounded. However, Yang Ping had spent countless years in the System Space, akin to the immortals in "The Man from Earth". The numerous experiments had shaped a mindset beyond that of ordinary people.

"That’s due to the body’s powerful error-correcting mechanism, of course. Even this mechanism can fail sometimes, which is why fetal deformities occur."

Dr. Li, holding the microphone for questions, had a hint of a woman’s admiration for a man in her eyes, thinly veiled—it was clear she was adept at communicating with her gaze.
