Chapter 1168: Chapter 922 Flying in Rainstorm_2

Sanbo Laboratory is also currently expanding its recruitment. Tang Shun is searching everywhere for qualified and interested talent. Now that she’s showing interest, Yang Ping should encourage her too, inspiring her to return to China and develop her career.

"I’ll leave my email address with you," he said.

Li Yingtong nodded and promptly took out a notebook to jot it down, "Thank you, Professor Yang. I definitely won’t disturb Professor Yang."

This gifted student from Harvard completed her undergraduate studies at the Medical Department of Peking University. She was initially in the field of clinical medicine, before continuing her studies at Harvard Medical School in the United States where she focused on basic medicine, mainly in the field of stem cells.

After recording Yang Ping’s email address, Li Yingtong left, "Thank you, Professor Yang. I’ll work hard to become your first post-doctoral scholar."

Accompanied by Professor He, Yang Ping inspected the Digital Medical Laboratory, where a few pieces of "scrap iron," thanks to the efforts of Ruixing engineers, had been brought back to normal operation.

However, the systems implanted in the machines were still somewhat unstable, as they had just malfunctioned. The engineers were addressing the issue. After resolving the problem, the machines resumed operation. Although these newly implanted systems had undergone countless simulation experiments, they had not yet been tested with real experiments, so some issues were inevitable.

But that was okay; everyone was patient. Some things couldn’t be saved on, and this process must be followed. If not now, it would happen later.

More than half of the new type of Digital Human had been completed, with the entire mobility system already constructed and the hearts, lungs, and livers/kidneys built. Equipment issues may cause some hindrances, but their impact would not be decisive.

Once the new type of Digital Human was successfully established, it would be a major event in the medical community. Combining anatomy and function based on Digital Cells, the application of Digital Humans would be extremely broad. By merging with associated Biological 3D Printing Technology, many organs could be printed.

Currrently, the Digital Human’s cartilages had been completed. Using the Digital Human as a base and combining it with 3D printing technology, one could manufacture high-quality transparent cartilages. Using these cartilages for replacements in degenerated or damaged ones could lead to a complete cure for osteoarthritis. Even an eighty-year-old person could enjoy the knee joints of a twenty-year-old, truly rejuvenating the joints.

Su Nanchen and Robert are now conducting research in this area, making smooth progress and expected to achieve results soon.

After visiting the Digital Medical Laboratory, he continued to tour the Genetics Laboratory. The laboratory director, Lin Lan, who is Su Nanchen’s fiancée, is also a legendary figure at Nandu Medical University as a 28-year-old doctoral supervisor.

In Yang Ping’s Spatial Orientation Gene experiment, she was responsible for the structural analysis and functional study of the genes, assisting Yang Ping in completing the research.

Tang Shun was checking the lab equipment; the Ruixing engineers are indeed incredible, having miraculously revived these machines, and they’re working quite well too, at least their basic functions are being fulfilled.

Even if they are a bit rough around the edges and have minor issues, it’s not a big deal, as the engineers are always on standby to handle them.

Yang Ping returned to Sanbo Hospital and entered the Stem Cell Laboratory, which was playing some music.

It was an English song. Yang Ping stopped in his tracks to listen for a while. The power of the music was profound; the song was incredibly moving.

"What song is this?" Yang asked.

"Flying in Rainstorm."

Tang Shun introduced the song,

"It’s the most touching English song of the year, because the background of the song comes from the singer’s own story. The story’s backdrop is this: Her parents left the world early, and the little girl lived with her grandmother, who was a retired teacher. This grandmother raised her painstakingly on her own and personally tutored her from primary school through high school. However, on the eve of the College Entrance Examination, the grandmother fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. Due to the local Hospital’s inability to treat her, she was taken to Beijing by her students for treatment. In Beijing, the grandmother personally called her, telling her to be strong, to study well, and to do well in the exams, promising she would recover. Afterwards, the grandmother’s students told the little girl that because of the severity of her illness, she couldn’t call anymore, so they could only send videos to her. The girl didn’t have a cell phone at the time because she was preparing for exams, so once a week the head teacher would send her the grandmother’s videos—after she had finished her exams and couldn’t wait to go to Beijing to see her grandmother, the grandmother’s students told her that, in fact, the grandmother had passed away before the College Entrance Examination—"

Yang fell into silence, "What’s the name of this singer?"

"Her real name is Li Yingtong, a Harvard Doctor, and she’s applied for our postdoctoral position."

Yang Ping took a deep breath, so it was her, "Isn’t she a Doctor from Harvard Medical School? How does she also have a record?"

"That’s right, she has multiple identities. She’s an extraordinary student. During her time at Harvard University, she received scholarships every year, and she won the championship in the American College Tennis League. Her swimming is at a professional level, and she’s also a master in judo and Go, holds a level ten in Chinese dance, recorded albums while studying at Harvard, and her songs are quite popular among North American college students, especially the song ’Flying in Rainstorm.’ Currently, she has two articles in the journal Cell. She just completed her Doctorate this year and is interested in returning to China to develop her career. After hearing about Nandu Medical University’s global recruitment, she specifically came back to China to attend this academic conference, to get to know the laboratories and research status at Nandu Medical University."

Tang Shun handed Yang Ping a list for review—a plan for recent recruitment expansions of the research team. Tang Shun had reviewed the resumes of the applicants and left a portion of the excellent ones for Yang Ping to make the final decision.

Among the list of postdoctoral applicants, Yang Ping saw Li Yingtong’s name.

"This Dr. Li is very hardworking, truly outstanding, a student of a top Harvard stem cell professor. She declined an offer to remain at Harvard and proposed to do her postdoctoral research here with you, attracted by you and the theory of spatial orientation. She has also submitted an article to our electronic journal which is outstanding and has been accepted."

Tang Shun emphasized this introduction of Dr. Li.

"These are exactly the kind of talents we need; I have to take a good look at this."

Yang Ping put away the list.

Indeed, the back story of the song was moving. A computer was playing the music video for the song, and the footage on the video triggered Yang Ping’s memories—those evocative images were slices of life from his own elementary, middle, and university days—studying diligently for the college entrance examination.

"Many people like this song; it’s our laboratory’s favorite because it speaks to everyone’s experiences of arduous study. It resonates with us; we used to play it often. This time, after seeing Li Yingtong’s name, everyone looked her up and found out it was the same Li Yingtong, so we brought it out to play again," explained Tang Shun.

"Are these experimental instruments still usable?"

"It’s unbelievable; they must think we would never be able to develop our own experimental software."

"It’s not just the software; our own hardware devices will soon appear in the laboratory. In the end, we have to use our own. We can’t leave our fate in others’ hands. Our predecessors made atomic bombs with abacuses; with our conditions being so favorable now, are we afraid of their little tricks? The experiments continue as planned, though the transition period will be a bit uncomfortable. We need to work on our mindset, and, in addition, we need to increase the subsidies."

"Understood!"

"Do these personnel need to go through a security check?"

"Just the routine checks."

Tang Shun said worriedly, "The recent lab equipment crash is not an accident but a prelude to a conspiracy. Professor Yang, your research achievements can change the world and could potentially topple today’s pharmaceutical giants. The capital giants won’t let us go; they’ll either try to recruit us or eliminate us. That’s their binary thinking, and they are likely to resort to any means to get their hands on our core technologies."

"Don’t worry, when the gap is too great, tricks become meaningless. In front of absolute power, all tricks are entertainment! What we need to do now is to push forward rapidly and steadily with the experiment, to build up our absolute power. Absolute power is our moat. Of course, we need basic security awareness, but being overly conservative will only turn excellent talents away. As for Dr. Li, when you have a moment, print out her paper for me to read."

It seemed that Yang Ping was not afraid of the imminent battle.

"Okay, I’ll print it out now, and once it’s ready, I’ll have someone deliver it to your desk."

"No need for that; I will take it back myself to read."
