Chapter 1253: Chapter 959 Version 3.0 Digital Human

Academician Xiang’s suggestions were very good, and Yang Ping took them to heart. He even took out the notebook he carried with him to take notes. These suggestions were not offhand remarks, but the result of careful observation and thoughtful consideration.

"I was just speaking off the cuff, and you’re actually writing it down?" Academician Xiang hadn’t expected Yang Ping to be so diligent.

Yang Ping closed his notebook, "Professor Xiang’s advice has really opened my eyes, especially regarding ’medicine.’ I’ve always felt something was not quite right, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Today, with what Professor Xiang said, I finally understand. I was indeed too radical before. At present, abandoning print journals in favor of online ones is premature; we must give equal emphasis to both.

Yes, the seriousness of journals is reflected not only in the credibility of scholarship but also in the transmission of civilization on a longer scale. For now, the stability of paper storage is higher than that of networks."

The Old Academician had wanted to chat more with Yang Ping, but knowing that Yang Ping was busy and short on time, he didn’t dare to keep him.

Usually, Academician Xiang would prefer not to speak in formal settings, feeling that his ideas were outdated and a casual remark could easily mislead the young, so now he simply chose not to attend any academic conferences. Even when visiting Professor He’s laboratory, he came simply to encourage and provide whatever help he could, never offering professional advice.

But with Yang Ping, the Old Academician couldn’t help discussing professional matters. He knew that Yang Ping’s expertise was definitely not to be swayed by his own, so he seized this chance to indulge himself in a professional discussion.

"How about staying for dinner before you go?" the Old Academician suggested.

Professor He quickly agreed, "Let’s have dinner together tonight as a way of thanking you. You’ve given us a lot of help with our project, much of it crucial."

Yang Ping glanced at the time. He had come over just as work was winding down, and it was now dinnertime. Getting a free meal wasn’t a bad idea, and it had been a long time since he got together with Academician Xiang and Professor He. It was just that everything was not as convenient for him as before. Ershun’s team kept a close but inconspicuous guard, which made him feel slightly guilty, but he had grown accustomed to it over time.

Professor He began to organize the dinner. Including all the laboratory staff, setting up several tables was no problem. Hearing that they would be having a meal together with Professor Yang, the researchers, doctors, and masters were as excited as fans given the chance to dine with their idol, some nearly jumping for joy.

Academician Xiang is the founder of Digital Human Technology in China, and the country’s first Digital Human was his masterpiece. At that time, Digital Humans were only visible digital humans, a three-dimensional Anatomy Diagram indistinguishable from the real thing, which is considered the 1.0 version of Digital Humans.

Research on visible Digital Humans is a meticulous and arduous task. It requires slicing the volunteer’s body into countless thin sections, photographing, analyzing, and recording each Tissue Section with digital cameras and scanners to obtain human cross-sectional data. This data is then used to construct a three-dimensional Human Anatomy Diagram, which is the 1.0 version of the Digital Human.

At this point, a Digital Human was just a more advanced and lifelike three-dimensional Anatomy Diagram. It was essentially no different from other diagrams and lacked any functionality, leading to limited applications in medicine and other fields; it was just an advanced Anatomy Diagram.

If the visible Digital Human is considered the 1.0 version, there are subsequent technological iterations like the 2.0 "Digital Physical Human," the 3.0 "Digital Physiological Human," and the 4.0 "Digital Intelligent Human."

The 2.0 Digital Physical Human is far more advanced than the 1.0 version; it can react to virtual physical stimuli from the external world. For example, the skeleton would fracture under violent impact, blood vessels would bleed if ruptured, and skin and soft tissues would swell when contused. However, the Physical Digital Human only simulates the body’s responses to physical stimuli, which is not enough.

The 3.0 Digital Physiological Human requires extremely complex digital technology because it needs to replicate all or most of the human body’s physiological functions, not just simple responses to physical stimuli like fractures, bleeding, and swelling. It must simulate the body’s more complex life phenomena.

For example, in a state of blood loss, it would, like a real person, slowly go through a series of physiological and pathological processes, enter hemorrhagic shock, and eventually die from blood loss. Even after death, it could simulate the post-mortem changes in the human body, such as cellular disintegration, etc.

If "rescue" measures such as hemostasis and blood transfusion are applied to the Digital Human, it can also simulate the dynamic changes of recovery or further collapse in an actual human under rescue conditions. The technology involved is extremely complex, necessitating the use of a Supercomputer to simulate because it involves a variety of complex models and the interconnections between them, requiring significant computational power.

Presently, the United States has not researched a complete 3.0 Digital Physiological Human, only able to replicate parts of the human body, such as the head, Heart, or Liver, etc. Meanwhile, Professor He has already created a complete 3.0 Digital Human, and the concept of Digital Cells he applied is a whole generation ahead of other international teams.

If the world’s Digital Human Technology were ranked, Professor He would stand alone at the very top tier, with other technologies counting from the second tier downward.
