Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1038 - 1002: Should We Go for It?

Late Monday afternoon around four o'clock, Lin Jie, appearing fatigued after completing the intubation drip inducer work for all the patients in the annex building, returned to the office in the main building with Zhou Hongzhi, where they found President Su Zhongqing waiting.As soon as they met, Lin Jie apologized: "President Su, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"It's not a long wait, besides, Expert Lin, you're busy with surgeries saving lives, waiting is just par for the course."

President Su said politely, handing over a flat rectangular brocade box, "Expert Lin, this is the ginseng!"

Lin Jie took the brocade box, looked at it seriously for a few moments, then passed it to Zhou Hongzhi.

Zhou Hongzhi scrutinized it carefully for over a minute, then gently nodded towards Lin Jie.

Seeing this, President Su somewhat relievedly smiled and said: "I must thank you again, Expert Lin, for your mediation. Yesterday, I already hosted a banquet and publicly apologized to President Bi. Both our families have reconciled."

"I'm very pleased to hear this news!"

As he said this, Lin Jie couldn't help but let out a big yawn.

Seeing this, President Su tactfully stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Jie only politely exchanged a few words before seeing him out.

Returning to the office again, he saw Zhou Hongzhi looking at him with a somewhat peculiar smile, and couldn't resist asking: "Master Zhou, your smile is a bit eerie, isn't it?"

Zhou Hongzhi's smile widened as he said, "Expert Lin, that yawn you just pretended was a bit forced, wasn't it?"

Lin Jie chuckled without a hint of embarrassment and said, "That guy's actions are somewhat unscrupulous."

"Initially, he said he would give me this ginseng; I insisted on paying him 3.6 million and even mediated the dispute with President Bi from the Northeast for him. Unexpectedly, he tampered with the ginseng."

"What kind of tampering?"

Zhou Hongzhi was quite surprised and hurriedly brought the brocade box closer to take another careful look, searching for his oversight.

Lin Jie pointed to the ginseng inside the box and said, "Master Zhou, look here, here, and here, compared to the photos he showed us that day, a total of three ginseng roots have been cut off completely."

Following Lin Jie's indication, Zhou Hongzhi examined the ginseng and indeed found three broken stubs.

He was somewhat incredulous and said, "Expert Lin, after looking at the photos that day, you remembered everything? Even so clearly?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "As long as I truly focus on memorizing, I can still remember it."

Zhou Hongzhi marveled, "Online they say Expert Lin you have an extraordinary photographic memory; I thought perhaps your memory was just several times better than the average person."

"I never imagined your memory could be so amazingly precise."

"The premise is, I want to remember it!" Lin Jie explained briefly.

He speculated that his memory ability might have been influenced by the memory transmission from Shen Lanruo.

Vast information influx unexpectedly stimulated his neural memory center, significantly enhancing its memory capacity.

Zhou Hongzhi considered briefly and said, "The value of these three ginseng roots is at least over ten thousand."

"This guy, really..."

Lin Jie said carelessly, "He probably wasn't thinking of taking advantage; maybe he wanted to taste the treasure of the ginseng to experience its flavors and effects. After all these years of cherishing it, it's inevitable to have some reluctance and regret about parting with it."

Then he asked, "How about collecting other medicinal herbs?"

Zhou Hongzhi smiled lightly and said, "Those kinds of herbs are also precious but not rare."

"We've scavenged some from other renowned traditional Chinese medicine shops and coupled with the approval from the National Health Commission, we've got enough to extract over two thousand people's worth."

Lin Jie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good."

"This amount is sufficient to complete both the first and second stages of experimental treatment..."

Lin Jie came to Elenna's hospital room and found her doing some light fitness exercises.

"Dr. Lin, I feel like I'm getting stronger day by day; my body feels like it's regaining strength again. It's not like before, when doing anything felt like an exhausting burden."

Seeing Elenna's excited demeanor, Lin Jie knew this was only her post-surgery body rebound and psychological suggestion.

"Your body is still in a weak state, be sure to follow the physiotherapist's recommendations; exercise should not be excessive."

Lin Jie warned, then noticed the bedside cabinet by the hospital bed piled with numerous file folders and reminded, "Elenna, you can deal with work appropriately."

"However, daily work should not exceed six hours, and don't overstress, nor should you be angry or overly excited."

"On warm sunny days, you can leave the hospital and take a walk around nearby parks and scenic spots, but make sure to take your medication on time and return for check-ups."

Elenna nodded repeatedly, "Expert Lin, your words are as effective as God's commandments to me; I will strictly follow them."

"I want to live a bit longer."

Speaking of this, she said with some regret, "Expert Lin, I have some bad news to tell you, regarding my body data, the Heidelberg University Hospital side has consistently refused."

It's been days without any progress, Lin Jie had already anticipated this.

He acted indifferent and said, "It's alright. Currently, the hospital's technical staff is working tirelessly to digitize human data, and we're doing our own thing."

Elenna sighed and said, "What surprises me is that the rejection reason from the Heidelberg University Hospital is that you are an active-duty military officer in China, and your research topic involves military participation."

"Handing over these human data to you could potentially be used for military purposes, which is not permitted by the German Government."

Elenna said somewhat emotionally, "I just don't understand how data meant for treating and saving lives can be related to military purposes."

Lin Jie was also taken aback by this reason for refusal, they actually thought of leaning towards military and political aspects.

He said with a hint of sarcasm, "I utilized this data to cure soldiers, so naturally it's related to military use..."

After conducting physical examinations for Elenna, as well as Annabelle and Bennett on the same floor, Lin Jie returned to his office and finally saw Song Zexing, who was waiting for him.

Lin Jie observed the young man in the wheelchair.

His hair was disheveled, his face was pale and thin, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, yet he was dressed formally in a suit and tie.

Lin Jie couldn't help but say, "Song Zexing, you're dressed quite formally, but your hair is a mess, it's quite inconsistent!"

Song Zexing hastily used his slender fingers to smooth his hair, while hurriedly explaining: "Expert Lin, when I came to work this morning, my hair was neatly combed."

"It's just that I have a work habit of grabbing my hair when I'm thinking."

Lin Jie didn't mind these details and smiled, "Dr. Lei told me you spent just one day in the orthopedic technology lab and conquered them."

"Now they all sincerely call you boss, right?"

Song Zexing chuckled and said, "Their technical skills are quite good, it's just that my skills are slightly better."

"As long as you have the ability and confidence, that's good!"

Lin Jie organized his words and said, "Song Zexing, I think the big task you need to undertake is to establish an intelligent medical system."

"The preliminary ideal state for this system is that residents at home can use this system to conduct a detailed physical examination through measuring blood pressure, temperature, breathing, heart rate, urine tests, and blood tests."

"And in the hospital, through meticulous checks, this system can diagnose ninety-nine percent of illnesses and provide targeted treatment plans."

"Routine surgeries would also be handled by this system."

"Hospital doctors would only need to handle that one percent of complicated diseases, complex surgeries, and research work."

Song Zexing couldn't help but say, "Expert Lin, if this system is really developed, ninety percent of doctors will lose their jobs."

"Aren't you worried about facing unanimous opposition from the doctors?"

Lin Jie smiled and said, "Intelligence replacing most manual work is an inevitability of social development."

"The development process of this intelligent medical system is not something that can be achieved overnight. It may take decades, even a hundred years to say, and as society develops, new job positions will inevitably emerge."

He asked, "Social problems are not for you to worry about. Do you have any thoughts about this intelligent medical system I'm talking about?"

Song Zexing pondered and said, "This system requires an efficient intelligent algorithm on one hand, and on the other, it requires a database filled with all human body data, disease data, and other vast data."

"As for the intelligent algorithm, I have some insights, but for this database, Expert Lin, I can't conjure up data."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Song Zexing, in Anlin Hospital, you are the head of the technical department. You can first independently recruit a team of fewer than six people to assist you."

"Your main work includes building the framework for this intelligent medical system, designing and perfecting that intelligent algorithm, and assisting doctors from various departments to complete relevant auxiliary calculations, simulations, and inferences based on their requirements."

"As for the construction of the database, I'll find a way to unite several medical structures together."

Song Zexing responded, "I understand."

"Expert Lin, regarding the treatment for the technical team I recruit..."

"I don't handle that aspect. I'll have An Kexin discuss it with you."

Lin Jie thought of something and asked, "Hey, Song Zexing, when you left that work department, did you continue to receive their salaries and subsidies?"

Song Zexing shook his head and said, "When I left, the leadership told me that to avoid alerting any suspicious individuals, all my future compensation would be paid by Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie acknowledged this, knowing that this aspect still needed to be communicated with the Water Buffalo.

He then lowered his voice and mysteriously asked, "Song Zexing, you've been in the orthopedic technology lab for a few days, have you figured out that piece of equipment yet?"

"It's not that easy!"

Song Zexing, with some excitement, said, "The Germans have put a lot of anti-crack and anti-disassembly measures on the software and hardware of this equipment, which can't be understood in a short time."

"However, I have made some discoveries. I found a very hidden backdoor..."

"Backdoor?" Lin Jie was somewhat puzzled.

Song Zexing explained, "Yes, a backdoor!"

"I suspect this is a secret door intentionally left by the developers of the equipment."

"The developers can invade this device through this hidden door without the knowledge of the users, check usage logs, steal data, etc."

"I've only discovered this backdoor, but to actually use it, several protective measures still need to be cracked..."

Lin Jie knew very little about this area.

He discussed some future work matters with Song Zexing and then sent him off.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Lin Jie received a call from Fu Xiuyuan.

"The arrangements at Qushui Garden are finalized, scheduled for this Saturday."

He then inquired, "Qushui Garden is a rare and excellent place, suitable for both business operations and as a private garden."

"Four Seas Bank is organizing a competitive bid, are you interested in securing it?"
