Chapter 1260: Chapter 961: Just Posting a Moment_2

Highly specialized large-scale software from various industries is actually a weak link for us. Despite the internet industry booming and big companies easily reaching market values in the hundreds of billions, fundamental software such as various industrial applications are all controlled by the West. This is because the development of such software is extremely difficult, requiring significant investment of manpower, financial resources, and time. Few companies are willing to make such long-term foundational investments.

This guy who plays games is quite an oddball. He lacks a regular work routine, only working when he feels like it and resting otherwise. Sometimes he plays games, but he doesn’t disturb others, as he keeps to himself in a corner with the sound turned off, immersed in his own world. It’s not surprising that some geniuses have their own quirks, so managing such a team actually requires a relaxed and free environment.

"Any difficulties? If there are any, just mention them."

Yang Ping walked around the laboratory before sitting down in the office.

"We want to establish a research software development team. This team needs to be independent and provide application software support for our experiments,"

Tang Shun voiced his difficulty, aware that the guy who played games had an online team, but additional funding was needed.

"Just write a report and apply to the foundation," Yang Ping nodded.

"Sure thing!"

Tang Shun had the authority to do so, as Yang Ping had given him enough leeway. However, out of respect, Tang Shun still made sure to report important matters in a timely fashion.

"Any other difficulties?" Yang Ping asked.

Tang Shun shook his head.

Actually, Yang Ping was inquiring about Li Yingtong, who had already returned to the country and would soon start her job. Yang Ping needed Li Yingtong to work diligently, with both her presence and her heart committed to the job.

"Li Yingtong doesn’t have any issues with work or life, does she?"

"No!"

Yang Ping spoke softly, "Good, I need her to be fully committed here; she is an irreplaceable talent."

"Understood, Professor!" Tang Shun was very confident.

"No difficulties at all?"

"No!"

What a joke, admitting to any difficulties would be to belittle his own expertise, wouldn’t it? To confess to difficulties would be the biggest joke of all.

Having toured the laboratory to understand the recent progress, although the experiments are hitting bottlenecks and moving forward with difficulty, it is only in comparison to his previous smoothest times. In comparison to other laboratories, the progress is still outstandingly fast.

From the research on Skin Expansion Technology, a wealth of information on skin cell replication and division has been obtained. These findings have been applied to liver expansion, and there has been some minor progress.

Like skin, the liver has a strong regenerative capacity. If a small part of the liver could be removed from the body and expanded in the laboratory like skin, and then transplanted back into the patient once sufficiently expanded.

This way, as long as patients still have a few normal liver cells, they could use this technology for an autologous transplant. If the patient no longer has any normal liver cells, an allogenic liver transplant is necessary, which is also very beneficial for the donor. Only a small piece of liver tissue needs to be taken, which could make allogenic liver transplant possible.

For liver donors, they might not even need to undergo surgery, only a liver biopsy to extract some liver tissue for laboratory expansion and cultivation.

As for the research on using cellular apoptosis to treat tumors, it’s currently struggling with the in vivo effects of the K factor. The K factor has been modified many times but still cannot play a significant role in the body. Almost every similar structural protein that could be thought of has been tested, but none are satisfactory.

To achieve a breakthrough, it’s necessary to take an unconventional approach, such as disguising the K factor to avoid attacks from the body, or finding a suitable delivery vehicle to protect it and deliver it to the target location.

The experiment on the Spatial Orientation Gene has made some new breakthroughs. A few suspected gene fragments are currently being functionally validated. This process is cumbersome, but that’s how research goes; the deeper you go, the harder it becomes.

The overall progress of the experiment is stable. Encountering difficulties is normal, especially since these experiments have already achieved significant results. Advancing further is not easy.

Yang Ping spent a long time talking to Tang Shun in the laboratory, offering some suggestions, and then going to check on Xiao Su at the Overseas Chinese Building. Xiao Su is nearing her due date, and staying in the Overseas Chinese Building for her delivery is a special treatment from Sanbo Hospital.

Just on his way to the Overseas Chinese Building, Manstein sent several messages on WeChat.

Manstein now speaks Chinese quite well. In fact, such talents learn quickly in any field, it’s just a matter of whether they wish to pursue it.

For instance, in high school, some students excel at gaming and tend to think that top students only know how to bury themselves in books and can’t even play games well.

They don’t understand one thing: these top students are not incapable of playing well; they simply choose not to play. Their target is the College Entrance Examination. If one day playing games became a subject in the exam, believe that those who were known for being good at games would be utterly thrashed by the top students. Except for special fields like athletics that require innate physical qualities, top students’ learning abilities, habits, and desires could lead to success in virtually any field.

Manstein’s WeChat messages actually concerned a request for cooperation with Yang Ping. This wasn’t the first time; he had proposed establishing a research collaboration with Yang Ping several times before. His research on nerve damage repair had encountered insurmountable obstacles. To succeed in his grand project of head transplant surgery, the challenges of spinal and peripheral nerve injury had to be overcome. The proposal for Original Cell Repair was a grand topic, yet he was nowhere near a breakthrough. The work on the Spatial Orientation Gene by Yang Ping revealed to him where the "door" was—the door was with Yang Ping. Perhaps by applying the Spatial Orientation Gene to spinal and peripheral nerve injury repair, it might be possible to achieve Original Cell Repair of the spinal cord and nerves.
