Chapter 1184: Chapter 929 Optimal Selection Method

To exhaust the views of a thousand miles, climb yet another floor.

A fifth-grade student being able to appreciate the essence of a poem, truly deserving of those composition awards. Had it not been for the terminal illness, this child would surely be a top contender in the college entrance examination.

Indeed, only by standing taller can one see farther. In modern parlance, that’s vision. This is a child with vision.

"You didn’t bring me up to the rooftop just to recite this line of poetry, did you?" Yang Ping said, speechless as he looked at the primary school student facing the wind.

Sisi, dissatisfied, said, "Of course it’s not just to recite this line. There are many other poems. I can’t possibly recite them in the ward, can I? After a lot of thought, this is the best place for it."

I’m dizzy, she’s come here to do homework.

The wind on the rooftop was really too strong. If you stayed too long, you might catch a cold. The little girl was unwell; one had to be careful and couldn’t let her really finish her recitation homework here.

"The wind is too strong, let’s go back, Sisi!"

Yang Ping called out to the little girl intoxicated by the wind. Ever since they made a pinky promise and became friends, Yang Ping truly regarded her as a friend, not just some kid who didn’t understand anything.

The girl was too clever; treating her as an ignorant child was a serious misdiagnosis of her intelligence.

Forget it, Sisi obediently nodded her head and followed Yang Ping down from the rooftop.

The little girl had just mentioned a patient from the oncology department who jumped off a building, and standing on the rooftop just now had indeed given Yang Ping a fright.

But the little girl was stronger than he had imagined. All Yang Ping could hope for was that his experiments would progress quickly and that nothing untoward would happen before his success.

After escorting Sisi back to the ward, Yang Ping noted there was still time and decided to check on the progress in the laboratory, as the reality was lagging significantly behind the advancements in the System Space Laboratory.

The ward was busy, probably with new patients being admitted. Several standardized training students and graduate students were bustling about, while Zhang Lin and Little Five, who had just finished surgery, were taking a short rest. Zhang Lin was broadcasting some internal news, and several young doctors who had found a moment’s reprieve gathered around him. One, wearing gloves and holding a disposable dressing bowl, was also listening in. He was probably about to change a dressing, but now was not the right time; something had come up with a patient, and he had to wait.

Zhang Lin’s internal news was quite attractive, and, one after another, several people temporarily stopped their work to listen intently to his broadcast.

Yang Ping had no time to listen to Zhang Lin’s internal news; he wanted to visit the Tumor Laboratory upstairs.

The eight-story Surgical Research Institute was still sufficient for the time being, as the laboratories only occupied three floors, leaving plenty of space for expansion.

Tang Shun was busy. As a master of time management, he had no stress managing three laboratories and three teams; in fact, he appeared quite at ease.

Honestly, a laboratory director with such strong academic ability, managerial skills, and exceptional social communication was hard to find, even with a lantern. Though he had some flaws in his personal life, his merits far outweighed the minor blemishes.

"Professor!"

Yang Ping walked from the office area into the changing room, donned his sterile clothes, put on a cap and mask, and entered the laboratory, where Tang Shun immediately greeted him.

These laboratories were very strict about sterile procedures, even more so than the operating room. Any virus, bacteria, or other microorganisms inadvertently mixed into the cells could seriously interfere with the outcome of an experiment, which needed stability and precision. Any extraneous factor could cause the entire result to vary.

"I’ve come to see how the recent progress of the experiments is going."

Yang Ping sat down in the laboratory.

Tang Shun’s eyebrows were furrowed: "We’re still modifying the K factor. All the K factors we’ve tested so far have proven ineffective in the human body, and this screening process is quite troublesome. It’ll probably take years."

Years?

Yang Ping was startled but then remembered that this was a real-world laboratory, and Tang Shun was just making an estimate based on real-world experience. Saying it would take years was already something only top-tier talent would dare to predict. It was commendable not to say decades or even longer, certainly living up to that million-dollar salary.

"Years are too long. Time is of the essence! Let me take a look."

The Professor speaks like a poet, even his words are different.

A glint appeared in Tang Shun’s eyes. Had the Professor found a new approach that could reduce the time for the experiment?

The laboratory had a large, high-definition LCD screen, which was used for discussing experiments. Data stored on the computers could be displayed on this large screen at any time.

"No choice, at this stage of the experiment, it’s about trial and error. If we’re on the right track, all that’s left is to keep trying," Tang Shun tried to persuade Yang Ping not to be too anxious.

Yang Ping, with half-closed eyes, looked away from the screen: "Are you familiar with the Optimal Selection Method?"

"Familiar."

Tang Shun asked, puzzled. Hadn’t the Professor mentioned the Optimal Selection Method several times?

Yang Ping nodded: "The Optimal Selection Method can reduce the number of experiments and shorten the time needed."

Tang Shun, who had studied statistics, naturally knew of the mathematical master Hua Luogeng’s Optimal Selection Method. The method was indeed useful. In the System Space Laboratory, Yang Ping had accumulated a wealth of experience and had improved on the Optimal Selection Method, creating a new method. Of course, this was all inferred retrospectively from the errors made.

Could it be that the Professor’s ability to achieve success with the least number of trials and in the shortest amount of time lied in the advanced Optimal Selection Method? Was this the secret behind the Professor’s success?
