Chapter 764: Chapter 681: Success at First Attempt

Next, Tang Shun kept a close eye on the skin in the cultivator, to see what would happen.

A few days later, the skin immersed in the culture fluid astonishingly started to grow, its size noticeably increasing day by day. The more it grew, the faster it expanded. Originally, it was only 1 square centimeter in size, but within a few days, it had grown to dozens of times its original size. According to this rate of expansion, it could grow a thousand times larger within two weeks.

The experiment’s results exceeded Tang Shun’s expectations. Its success on the first trial was absolutely miraculous, indicating that Professor Yang’s hypothesis truly had cracked some sort of foundational theory regarding induced growth.

Tang Shun took out the two sheets of A4 paper again. These sheets were no longer just pieces of paper; they were invaluable treasures, with each word on them seemingly shimmering with light.

Returning home had indeed been the right choice. Tang Shun perked up and, with utmost caution, unfolded the two sheets of paper for a thorough re-reading.

With each reading, he gained a deeper understanding.

"Guodong!"

Tang Shun waved him over.

Li Guodong immediately ceased his work and approached the newly appointed laboratory director.

Tang Shun could hardly contain his excitement: "I plan to cut a small piece from the skin specimen to prepare a single-cell tissue section for studying the fine structure of the skin’s sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes, down to the cellular level. Do we have suitable experimental conditions for this?"

Li Guodong replied without hesitation: "The process can be done at Nandu University’s Digital Medical Laboratory. They’re currently working on a project to digitally model muscle on a cellular level. If we send the skin specimen to them, they can produce a model within three days. If we rush them, they can have results within twenty-four hours. This type of research is easy for them, and the modeling they use is highly accurate."

So quickly? Within three days?

Wasn’t it said that the scientific research conditions in our country were lacking? How can they be so good?

Tang Shun was incredulous, asking:

"Are the conditions really that good?"

Li Guodong replied enthusiastically: "Actually, the hardware conditions in some domestic laboratories aren’t bad. What is lacking is the cultural environment, as our dean often says. Everyone wants to make money, so things become very turbulent. Not many people are calm enough to focus on scientific research, and the bureaucratization of scientific research management has led to complex interpersonal relationships in the scientific community. This complexity has become a cultural obstacle."

"These things will gradually change; it’s a process." Tang Shun’s view of the world seemed rather positive; he was full of hope.

Li Guodong enjoyed chatting with this bright graduate from Tokyo University and continued:

"Dr. Tang, Professor Yang has a dedicated research fund. No matter how much money you need, approval is very simple, almost instantly transferred. But every penny spent must be publicly displayed on the research website and subject to the supervision and audit of a third party. Those of us helping here are all paid by the research fund, so everyone likes to help with experiments. Not only can you learn, but you also can make money. The academic atmosphere here is good and everyone is equal. You can freely express any opinions. It’s okay to argue about academic issues. In any case, the interpersonal relationships here are simple, you won’t have to worry about handling them poorly. Finish work responsibly during work hours, spend your off hours freely; there’s no need to deal with any interpersonal relationships. I like the atmosphere here very much. I plan to do my PhD here and want to work here afterwards." Ti Guodong said, quite happily.

"It was the academic atmosphere that brought me back. Do you have time? Could you help cut a piece and send it to the Digital Medical Laboratory at Nandu Medical University? I’m eager to know the anatomical structure of the skin specimen." Tang Shun was anxious to understand the microscopic arrangement of the skin.

Li Guodong had it down pat: "I’ll cut the specimen right now and send it off to the laboratory at Nandu Medical University, which is a collaborating unit with us. We can send it at any time during working hours; if it’s after hours, a brief call to the Dean’s office will suffice and they can send a special transport vehicle. Very convenient."

"That convenient?" Tang Shun did not expect the hospital to have a special car for specimen delivery.

Li Guodong was obviously proud: "I’ll tell you, those of us doing research at Sanbo Hospital are highly regarded. You made the right decision coming here. See, even the Dean doesn’t bother us unless necessary."

"Dean Xia, over here!"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

No sooner had Li Guodong finished speaking than Dean Xia appeared at the doorway, accompanied by Director Han, Dean Sun, Director Zhao, and Director Zhou.

Just moments earlier, Li Guodong’s bragging had been overheard by these senior officials.

"Guodong, if you don’t want to bother with me, that’s fine, but don’t go around saying it. Don’t you know that makes me lose face?"

Dean Xia laughed heartily, playfully slapping Li Guodong’s shoulder, giving him a playful pinch that made Li Guodong scream in pain.

The other leaders also burst into laughter as Han who kept a stern face blurted:

"Li Guodong, with your physique, you’re going to be an orthopedic doctor? You cried out after just one squeeze. Isn’t that embarrassing?"

As Dean Xia let go, Li Guodong, his face flushed, immediately fled from Dean Xia’s grasp and quickly went to serve tea and pour water.

"Dean Xia!"

Tang Shun politely shook hands with Dean Xia.

"Sit down, sit down. I came to check in; I hope I’m not interrupting your work?" Dean Xia gestured dismissively.

"Not at all, I was just chatting with Dr. Li," Tang Shun replied casually.

Since his first day here, Tang Shun had already met with Dean Xia, Director Zhao, and Director Zhou; this was the second time they had met.

The leaders chatted in the lab for about ten minutes before leaving.

No sooner said than done, Li Guodong donned his gloves, took out the piece of skin, and cut off a small part. He carefully placed the piece into a protective box filled with a special liquid to keep the skin from drying out or deteriorating. Then he made a call, called for transport from the administrative department of the hospital, and personally delivered the skin sample.

Before he checked out for the day, images of the skin tissue section had been sent over.

This left Tang Shun a bit readjusted as this was nothing short of a researcher’s dream, three planes of structure analyses completed within a few hours.

Tang Shun didn’t even think of leaving, he immediately opened his laptop. The enlarged skin was indistinguishable from normal skin, with a complete epidermis and dermis layer. In medical terms, it was also called a full-thickness skin graft, and these grafts were of the highest quality.

At present, no one worldwide, except for the Manstein team, has been able to accomplish this. Other teams merely base their research on Manstein’s work.
