Chapter 1052: Get Serious, Don't Fall Behind the Team! (Six Updates Delivered)
Everyone frowned upon witnessing this scene.
"Expert consensus?"
What's so difficult about achieving expert consensus?
Without delay, Chen Cang scrolled down to the next page and began his presentation:
"The reconstruction of the digestive tract, including structure and function, revolves around how best to maintain the structure and restore the function, which are the core elements."
"This article represents the expert consensus validated by my team and me; I will start the introduction now!"
"As for the concept of Chen's digestive tract reconstruction, Professor Jim Lawrence has already provided a simple and clear introduction to the basics. I will skip over these basics and dive straight into the main topic!"
"Time is of the essence, and the task at hand is significant. I hope everyone will take this seriously and not relax as you did just before."
With that single comment, Jim Lawrence was almost choked with rage. How could his explanation be dismissed as 'basic'? Why does listening to me mean relaxing?
At this point, the crowd had already grown more critical of Chen Cang, as it seemed he was undervaluing them.
Immediately!
Chen Cang commenced his presentation for today.
"First off is the reconstruction of the stomach structure. We construct a model that stores stomach contents by aligning the structure with stomach functions. This includes the first-type, stomach-like structure, the second-type quick-emptying structure; third, slow peristalsis..."
Chen Cang's concepts confused everyone, but when they saw the accompanying illustrations, they were stunned!
One by one, eyes widened as people hurriedly picked up their cameras and started taking photographs.
The ideas and terminology Chen Cang delivered went beyond their understanding of stomach reconstruction—these were unheard-of terms!
Stomach-like structures, quick-emptying, slow peristalsis...
But suddenly, when these were linked with diseases, surgeries, and illustrations, a moment of realization dawned upon the crowd!
At that moment, everyone from the China region was rapidly taking notes; Austar had already snapped several photos and jotted down numerous points in his notebook.
Those who initially thought Chen Cang was being pretentious nearly cried out of frustration!
Because as Chen Cang was about to turn the page, they couldn't keep up with their phones for pictures.
Panic set in.
But they dared not let their guard down, afraid to miss what was happening. In their hurried state, they quickly turned on their phone cameras, continued shooting, and scribbling notes at the same time.
Hubert, upon seeing Austar, was taken aback—Austar had already documented two pages' worth!
At this point, no one below was letting their guard down; they finally understood that Chen Cang was earnestly reminding them!
Instead, they had assumed Chen Cang was just showing off...
They were filled with regret.
After Chen Cang finished explaining the concepts, he announced, "Next, we'll watch two short videos, one depicting open surgery and the other a robotic operation."
"Here, I must stress the concept of robotic surgery. Please pay close attention to the details. It's fine if you don't understand some maneuvers, but be sure to take notes!"
"We'll discuss it in detail later. However, please do not disrupt the class order, or consider it exaggerated..."
This time, the audience quieted down, eager to see what was so extraordinary.
Soon, Chen Cang started the videos; each was less than a minute long, as they only required resection and reconstruction—not much else.
The hand-held operation was nothing short of astonishing.
But then, during the robot-assisted operation, everyone's eyes widened, they held their breath, and were almost ready to rise in shock—Was this really a robot?
Are you sure it isn't a futuristic AI robot?
That articulated arm... was this the utmost limit of operation?
And that anastomosis... this... was incredibly fantastical!
At that moment, Kanet couldn't help but stand up, pointing at the screen in disbelief.
Impressive!
Awesome!
Incredible!
He was the MIT representative and, upon seeing Chen Cang's operation, as a designer of the Da Vinci robot, Kanet was utterly bewildered.
Had Chen Cang transcended his own understanding of robotics?
Was his engineering insight less profound than Chen Cang's?
Was this the robot I designed?
Why does it feel so foreign to me?
At that moment, the room fell silent.
They finally understood the meaning behind "take notes if you don't understand."
They finally realized why Chen Cang had said Jim Lawrence's man-machine interface was simple—it was because Chen Cang was dealing with a science fiction version of a man-machine interface!
The difference was freaking huge!
You wouldn't know until you compared, and now it seemed Lawrence's guide might as well be thrown out.
After all... that guide was worth jack shit.
If Lawrence couldn't even handle a robot properly himself, what business did he have writing a guide?
By this time, Jim Lawrence, watching Chen Cang's operation, was completely flabbergasted.
This... This is impossible!
How could someone be better at using my robot than I am?
I've used so many of them!
This... This just can't be!
It must be a photoshopped sci-fi blockbuster...
However, they noticed that the following procedures by Chen Cang were truly escalating in difficulty.
The initial stomach surgery was just an "appetizer!"
Next up were the "intestine appetizer," "pancreas appetizer," "gallbladder appetizer"...
By the end, everyone was too scared to take notes and had started recording with their phones instead...
Gradually, as it went on, everyone in the audience had their phones raised.
Some of them, with frustrated expressions, were close to tears!
They simply couldn't understand it.
It had been so long since they'd felt this way that they could only silently slap themselves—take that for showing off!
If they didn't understand, they didn't understand, but it felt impressively complicated!
All this talk about preserving the original digestive tract was just a broad concept, but the procedures that followed showed them what a concept really was!
When names they had never even heard before were mentioned, they could not understand, but by comparing the photos... with real cases and diseases, they eventually had an epiphany, which, however, didn't last very long before the upcoming surgical techniques overwhelmed them!
Whether it was hand operations or da Vinci robotic procedures...
It all felt like a science fiction movie!
In the end, there was a comparison of choices between open surgery and robotic surgery, as well as surgical guidelines...
It was incredibly detailed!
Sure it was good!
No denying that.
But just so damn hard...
Could you dumb down those terms a bit?
Finally, someone's phone battery died, and the man, looking at his dead phone, was so angry he almost wanted to throw it away!
Those at the back with blurry video footage were even more pitiful!
It wasn't much better for those at the front either; they were all in a fog, initially impressed when they first listened, but upon reflection, their minds went blank... heads buzzing!
Now, everyone had but one thought: he spoke too fast!
Chen Cang, looking at the audience, lamented, "You're all experts, and time is limited, so I'll go a bit faster!"
After this statement, the crowd was thoroughly bewildered!
Chairman Chen!
You could treat us like idiots and speak a little slower, please!
I'm calling you Chairman Chen; can't you just agree to my request?
As time ticked by, Chen Cang eventually finished his presentation within the allotted time.
The audience was all in a state of stupor.
They felt they weren't so much listening to a lecture as meditating through a fog, on the verge of an epiphany.
Chen Cang stood up: "Thank you, everyone, and thanks to Professor Jim Lawrence for his earlier explanation, which gave you a rough overview and allowed me to complete my talk successfully. Thank you!"
Saying this, Chen Cang gave Jim Lawrence a meaningful glance.
And Jim Lawrence... he was truly gutted...
Some people, coming to their senses, exclaimed: Huh? It's over?
...
...
ps: Sixth update delivered, that's eight updates today, huhu, kind of tired, let's continue with six more tomorrow.
Please support, fiery King Chen is just getting started!
