Chapter 1483: Chapter 1110: That’s all I’m going to say

    During the standardized training, the doctors signed their names, feeling extremely happy inside. With an additional monthly subsidy of six thousand yuan, even the standardized training students at Sanbo Hospital were so delighted. One can imagine how thrilled the trainees at other hospitals must be.

    Looking at these trainees, Yang Ping felt a deep sympathy for the students, recalling his own experiences in graduate school. He was quite surprised that Wang Changxin’s foundation was able to take care of these trainees. It seemed Old Wang was quite reliable and not just flaunting wealth without a purpose.

    Professors Lu Xiaolu and Zhang Zhiwei brought good news. Their recombined virus had achieved certain success by integrating some important gene fragments of the K-factor with the adenovirus, creating a new virus. This virus was nearly non-toxic and very safe for the human body.

    On Tang Shun’s side, the progress of cell therapy was relatively slow. After all, the congenital defects of cells limited their application in solid tumors, making the path quite challenging. However, Tang Shun did not get discouraged. He believed the route was not incorrect, but they just had not found a way to allow the cells to freely penetrate various barriers. Viruses, on the other hand, were different with their small size and strong penetration ability, giving them an inherent advantage for solid tumors.

    Sisi’s condition began to fluctuate again. However, Yang Ping was not as worried as before, because whether it was viral therapy or cell therapy, they had now found the right approach. This progress could be used on Sisi at any time. Regardless of the effectiveness, it would certainly have some effect. As long as there was an effect, it could slow down the illness and buy some buffer time.

    The original experimental animal building had now been vacated and renovated. The laboratory of the Surgical Research Institute would soon move there. The original administrative building had been repurposed for some clinical departments to use as wards. Clinical departments like the Sports Medicine Center, Hepatobiliary Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and others had seen steady growth in both inpatient numbers and surgeries, and the original wards could no longer meet their demand.

    In the office upstairs, Yang Ping, Tang Shun, Lu Xiaolu, and some researchers gathered to hold a research discussion meeting. These meetings were not regularly scheduled, but whenever there were issues, they would gather together. The meetings were very flexible and relaxed, allowing them to address experimental problems promptly.

    The newly modified adenovirus could broadly infect Sisi’s tumor cells, then enter the tumor cells and ultimately trigger their apoptosis, leading to the death of the tumor cells. Its ability to evade the immune system and its precision in recognizing and killing tumor cells were much stronger than the previous virus models. This was the victory of modularly combining K-factors with the adenovirus.

    For the sustainability of future research, the labs at Sanbo Hospital and Nandu Medical University began establishing their own error-correction databases. For the biotechnology and pharmaceutical field, such a database was crucial as it represented the highest technical barrier. This barrier could not be circumvented and required vast investment in talent, funding, and time. The databases of the world’s major pharmaceutical giants were more confidential than some core pharmaceutical formulas and processes.

    Professors Lu Xiaolu and Zhang Zhiwei modularly deconstructed the K-factor and adenovirus, tagging these functional modules, allowing for their free combination. This way, they could create new therapeutic viruses, discovering patterns during the combination, which enabled the new viruses to be nearly non-toxic to the human body but extremely lethal to tumors. These modules would be a high technological barrier.

    Fujiwara Miyuki was waiting for Yang Ping at the entrance of his office after returning from the laboratory. Her tall figure looked enchanting against the backdrop of her white gown, but Yang Ping had little interest in that.

    “I want to talk to you,” Fujiwara Miyuki said with her hands in the pockets of her white gown.

    “Let’s talk then,” Yang Ping pushed open the door to his office, signaling for her to follow him in.

    Fujiwara Miyuki closed the door behind her and locked it, then sat down on the sofa.

    “Can we leave the door open?” Yang Ping asked calmly.

    Miyuki shook her head, “Are you afraid others might misunderstand what we are doing inside? What I want to talk about is very confidential, and I don’t want anything to leak out.”

    “Go ahead, what is it?” Yang Ping said, not insisting on opening the door.

    “I like you!” Fujiwara Miyuki said bluntly.

    Yang Ping responded nonchalantly, “I know, but I don’t like you.”

    “You’re so direct. That can hurt a girl’s feelings, but I like you that way.”

    “Being less direct is what truly hurts a girl’s feelings. In this world, besides Xiao Su, I won’t fall in love with anyone else.”

    “Your dedication to love is the same as your dedication to medicine. Xiao Su is truly lucky.”

    “Alright, if that’s all you wanted to say, I don’t have time to entertain you,” Yang Ping said impatiently.

    “Of course not. I know you only have Xiao Su in your heart, so I will keep this love to myself. I came to China with a mission, not for further studies. They want me to win you over, or at least steal your research results. Though your results are public, they believe you have some core technology hidden. If necessary, they will find ways to make you disappear. You are touching their core interests and pose a great threat to them. Your existence nullifies some big players’ technological advantages, so you must be careful,” Fujiwara Miyuki said slowly.

    “Thank you for telling me this,” Yang Ping said.

    “I know you won’t fully trust me, and I don’t need you to. I just hope to do something for you so that you can remember me. That’s enough for me. As long as you and Xiao Su are happy, I will be content. She is my best friend, and you are the man I love the most, that’s all. I am willing to give everything for you, even my life. That’s all I want to say,” Fujiwara Miyuki said, blushing, as she got up to leave.

    “Thank you,” Yang Ping said calmly.

    After Miyuki left and closed the door behind her, Yang Ping sat in his chair, shaking his head. When it came to emotions, he was very clear and firm: Though there may be many choices, he would only drink from one cup, and that cup was Xiao Su. Besides her, Yang Ping had no interest in anyone else, including Fujiwara Miyuki.

    A moment later, without much thought, Yang Ping leaned back in his chair, entered the system space, and picked up a pencil to start drawing on his sketchpad, fully concentrated, outlining some peculiar patterns stroke by stroke.
