Surgery Godfather

In fact, using this company's product was just a coincidence. There are only a handful of companies nationwide that produce artificial hearts. Looking at the product parameters, it meets Professor Yang's recommended requirements: small size, long lifespan, with a preference for domestic products. This company is the only one that fits, and their battery waterproofing is also excellent.

So Director Tian called this supplier. If it didn't work out, they would call other suppliers. The hospital supplier list only has a few names, and these are the only ones nationwide.

Unexpectedly, this chance occurrence changed the fate of the company. Less than an hour into the conversation, a ten-billion-yuan investment was secured.

Furthermore, the other party was not concerned about short-term profits; they only cared about whether the product could be perfected.

Even if President He slapped himself, he still felt like he was dreaming. Not long ago, he had been tirelessly meeting with investors, his voice hoarse every day, and not a single penny was secured, with him being mocked quite a bit. Today, however, he secured a ten-billion investment. Anyone in his position would struggle to remain calm.

"What did President Huang just say about where to sign the contract?" President He asked a vice president who was accompanying him.

The vice president replied, "President Huang said to let us think about it and, if there's no problem, we can sign immediately. The time and place of signing are up to us."

"What's there to consider? Let's sign right away. Invite President Huang to our company for an inspection, to give him confidence. Let them see that we genuinely focus on technology, and that our skills surpass those teams that wander around with PPTs fooling others. After the inspection, we sign the contract. What do you think?" President He finally came to his senses.

The vice president said, "We'll do as you say."

President He touched his burning face, "Why do I always feel so unreal? Did he really just say ten billion? I fear I've been so desperate for investment lately, I'm losing my mind?"

"I think so too, but he really did just say that," the vice president confirmed, because he had secretly pinched himself several times, and it hurt.

President He walked into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Inside came the loud sound of slaps, startling the colleagues outside. They worried he might really be losing his mind.

An Chenfeng's surgery is in preparation, and the preoperative examination revealed no contraindications, so the surgery is scheduled for the next day.

The progress of modern medicine is actually the progress of physics, chemistry, and biology. For example, the artificial heart results entirely from advancements in electronic technology in physics and in biological materials. Various minimally invasive and robotic surgeries are similarly driven by developments in physical technologies like sound, light, and electromagnetism.

The artificial heart simulates the pumping of the heart, with the biggest problem being mechanical damage to red blood cells during the pumping process. This damage can lead to thrombosis, ultimately resulting in embolic diseases.

The magnetic levitation artificial heart replaces previous mechanical technology with magnetic levitation, significantly reducing such mechanical damages, though these damages are not entirely eliminated.

Theoretically, the simulation gap is an inherent technical flaw in artificial hearts. These flaws can diminish with technological progress, so as artificial heart technology advances, post-operative survival time will certainly increase, eliminating the need for an allogeneic heart transplant. End-stage heart diseases could be treated with an artificial heart.

In the future, implantable artificial lungs, livers, and kidneys will emerge over time as technology advances.

Of course, if Yang Ping someday conquers the laboratory cloning of all organs, artificial organs will become less significant. Whenever an organ failure occurs, one could use this laboratory cloning technology to replicate an organ and proceed with a transplant surgery. The replicated organ would be identical to when the original organ was healthy, without the rejection reaction of allogeneic organs or the simulation gap of artificial organs. No matter how advanced it is, an artificial organ will always have gaps compared to natural human organs.

Artificial organs and cloned organs will undergo parallel research for a long time. This is the future direction for end-stage organ failure. Allogeneic transplantation is merely an interim solution when the technology is immature, and it is certainly not the ultimate solution.

Yang Ping has developed his own perspectives on treating some end-stage diseases. His stem cell laboratory will focus on researching organ cloning technology. Currently, cloning skin and muscle is only the beginning. In the future, he hopes to complete the cloning of all organs under the guidance of the Spatial Orientation Gene Theory. This process is lengthy but surely achievable.

The Spatial Orientation Gene acts like an invisible 3D printer that constructs complete organs using various cells. What needs to be done now is to identify the activation and deactivation factors for the spatial orientation gene of each organ so that every organ can be cloned in the laboratory in the future.

Since An Chenfeng's treatment plan has been determined and the surgery scheduled, Heart Treasure Company's artificial heart has also been delivered to the Operating Room.

President He personally took on the role of the on-site engineer. Ten billion! With subsequent investments, President He is fully confident that Heart Treasure can become a world-class artificial heart manufacturer. President He is a bit dizzy now, and when he woke up early this morning, he slapped himself again, fearing he'd wake from a dream.

Early in the morning, President He waited outside the Operating Room. There was actually no need to arrive so early, as coming early was useless. President He did it primarily to show his attitude.
