Chapter 130: Chapter 127: An Epoch-making Patent
In the operating room, Ling Ling carefully observed Wu Ting’s every move, memorizing and internalizing his technique.
Under Wu Ting’s deft hands, the surgery was quickly and successfully completed.
Cheng Feng, at the side, also stopped the video recording.
"Brother Ting, you’re amazing. You handled such a complex biliary tract so effortlessly. This fluorescent laparoscopy technique is incredible."
"As expected of Dr. Yan from Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital! You and her are a perfect duo, Brother Ting!"
Just as Cheng Feng was sighing with admiration, he felt a sudden chill. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Ling Ling’s gaze, which was cold enough to kill.
Cheng Feng immediately shut his mouth. ’Crap, I forgot Dr. Ling was here too.’
Ling Ling felt a pang of frustration. After all, Yan Xi’s doctoral research had already developed into a mature Surgical Technique, and her paper was on the verge of publication, while her own work was nowhere near finished.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, Dr. Ling Ling, Cheng Feng, and Yasui for completing a surgery for patient Lei Bojun. You have obtained an entry from patient Lei Bojun: Top-Tier Programming Algorithms of a Computer Guru (Purple). Lei Bojun’s insights on programming algorithms, specializing in artificial intelligence, with particular expertise in automation algorithms, render-enhancement fusion algorithms, coordinate system transformation algorithms, and one-to-many matching algorithms...]
[Recommended Entry Synthesis: Top-Tier Programming Algorithms of a Computer Guru (Purple) + 3D Imaging Visualization Technology (White) = 3D Imaging Navigation Platform Application (Purple), a technology integrating artificial intelligence, automation, render-enhancement, coordinate system transformation, and one-to-many matching algorithms. It will evolve 3D imaging visualization by leaps and bounds!]
[Synthesize?]
Wu Ting was stunned. He had been bracing himself to grind through a ton of surgeries with Dr. Ling, but he never expected this patient to bring such a pleasant surprise.
’A Purple entry! This patient is a true hidden master.’
Wu Ting synthesized the entry without hesitation. Instantly, a flood of information poured into his mind. In that moment, Wu Ting had become a top-tier genius in programming algorithms!
[Recommended Entry Synthesis: Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Technology (Yellow) + 3D Imaging Navigation Platform Application (Purple) + Ultrasound-Guided Assistance Technology (Yellow) + Any Adaptable Laparoscopic Surgical Technique (Yellow) = Perfect Triple-Assist Laparoscopic Technique (Black). The combined use of these three assistance technologies creates a perfect auxiliary effect, allowing an attending physician’s laparoscopic skills to far surpass those of a top-tier director!]
[Note: For the "Any Adaptable Surgical Technique" component, highly difficult hepatobiliary cancer procedures are recommended. Using this on common appendicitis, cholecystitis, or abdominal wall hernias would be overkill!]
[Note: The three combined assistance technologies can be used in coordination with other top physicians; the Host does not need to personally master the core surgical technique. The Host can collaborate with any top-tier expert, assisting them in performing various complex and difficult hepatobiliary cancer resections. This holds epoch-making significance for the field of hepatobiliary surgery.]
Wu Ting was ecstatic. With this Perfect Triple-Assist Laparoscopic Technique (Black), his Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology Research Center could be considered a resounding success.
’Now I just need to find the right time to roll it out, piece by piece!’
With these three combined techniques, he could pair them with any difficult laparoscopic surgical technique and truly establish the top Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology Research Center in the country.
’Looks like I’ll need to find some time to improve Dr. Ling’s algorithm and code a 3D Imaging Navigation Platform Application!’
Once Wu Ting integrated the application platform he developed with the existing hardware, he would be able to perform 3D image reconstructions far superior to anything that had come before.
Better yet, it was patentable. It was a laparoscopic augmented reality 3D real-time image navigation software, independently designed and developed by combining medicine and engineering based on real clinical needs.
It would be at the forefront, even internationally!
The patent alone would be enough for Wu Ting to establish a top-tier medical device company!
But this was something Wu Ting needed to plan carefully for the long term.
Furthermore, with this patent, Wu Ting could consider applying for a separate National Natural Science Foundation of China project.
Its clinical significance was far broader than that of the Daytime Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy!
As Wu Ting was lost in thought about his future plans, Ling Ling noticed his distraction and asked:
"Dr. Wu, should we take a short break and then start the second surgery?"
Ling Ling had pried it out of Cheng Feng that Dr. Wu had once performed nine consecutive surgeries with Dr. Yan.
To keep up with Dr. Wu’s stamina, Ling Ling had even brought high-energy snacks to refuel.
"Oh, that’s all for me today. I have something to attend to. Yasui, you’ll be the lead surgeon on the next one; have Luo Ming assist you. You all can rotate for the remaining cases."
"Cheng Feng, you’ll remain in charge of surgical statistics."
"Dr. Ling, I’ll have to trouble you to assist Dr. An and Dr. Luo."
Wu Ting was the chief resident and the head of the research center, so he had the authority to opt out of surgeries he didn’t need to perform personally.
Hearing Wu Ting’s instructions, Yasui and Cheng Feng naturally obeyed without question.
Ling Ling agreed, but a wave of bitter disappointment washed over her.
’Why did Dr. Yan get his full attention, but when it’s my turn, he leaves after just one surgery?’
"Dr. Ling, I just had a flash of inspiration. I need to spend the next few days researching some programming algorithms for 3D imaging visualization. We can discuss it again in a few days."
"I think you might be able to complete your doctoral thesis with this."
Before leaving the operating room, Wu Ting leaned close to Ling Ling’s ear and whispered this.
Then, he departed coolly.
Watching Wu Ting’s retreating figure, the dejection Ling Ling felt moments ago was instantly replaced with fiery hope. ’Is my project about to have a breakthrough?’
Ling Ling found it hard to believe. But knowing Wu Ting’s character, he wouldn’t lie. Still, it was all so sudden.
Ling Ling wanted to chase after him for more details, but she still had several surgeries scheduled.
Surgery was no laughing matter, so Ling Ling didn’t dare get distracted. She could only focus on diligently assisting Yasui, Luo Ming, and Cheng Feng.
Seeing how Wu Ting had Dr. Ling eating out of the palm of his hand with just a few whispered words, Yasui and Cheng Feng were filled with boundless admiration.
’First Dr. Yan, now Dr. Ling... Brother Ting, you’re a legend!’
...
...
When Wu Ting returned to his office, he was about to start coding the algorithm.
But he received a sudden call from Director Huo and had to head to the director’s office first.
In the office, Director Huo and Dean Liu were both waiting for Wu Ting.
Wu Ting was very surprised to see Dean Liu. After all, it had always been Dean Tang who staunchly supported the Emergency Department, Director Huo, and Wu Ting himself.
’Dean Liu doesn’t usually seem to pay much attention to the Emergency Department.’
Seeing Wu Ting, Dean Liu began with praise:
"Director Huo, your department has truly unearthed a gem. And Dr. Wu, you are a remarkable young talent with a limitless future."
After a few more pleasantries, Dean Liu got to the point.
"Wu Ting, the first phase of your research center is progressing smoothly. I’ve also observed your latest Surgical Technique, and it is fully developed and ready for widespread use."
"Since you’ve reached this stage, it’s time to enter the next critical phase. What are your plans for applying for the National Natural Science Foundation of China project for your research?"
A little surprised himself, Huo Yun added an explanation:
"Dean Liu came here personally to guide you on your application for the National Natural Science Foundation of China project. Back in his day, Dean Liu was the youngest person at our City First Hospital to ever lead a Youth Science Fund project. He has a great deal of experience in this area. For him to come and guide you personally is a sign of how highly he thinks of you and your work."
