Chapter 12: Two Traces of a Shattered Body, Forging Thousands of Dreams_1
Chen Gong: ???
The sudden accumulation of points left Chen Gong somewhat astonished.
Am I not normal?
He looked at Hou Liang with a complicated expression, "Liang, did I... not do a good job killing it?"
Hou Liang, feeling goosebumps as Chen Gong stared at him, quickly waved his hands and said awkwardly,
"This... we don't have to torture it like that!"
"Right?"
"And can you stop looking at me like that? It's really creepy."
Chen Gong seriously looked at the bullfrog in the plate, "Cruel? I don't think so. It died peacefully, with physical anesthesia, it only hurt for a moment."
Hou Liang: "Once we've killed it, that's enough. After cleaning the viscera, we can cook it."
"But look at you..."
Chen Gong shook his head, "No, some frogs die light as a feather, some die as heavy as Mount Tai!"
"I believe it fulfilled its life's value."
"Its fate was destined for the dining table. I used it to practice my dissection skills. Its epitaph would have a line like this, 'With the heart of an ingredient, achieving the dream of scientific research, using two ounces of a broken body to fulfill the dream of a medical student.'"
"Is that cruel?"
"Don't you think... that's quite romantic?"
At that, Hou Liang was at a loss for words.
He looked at Chen Gong, speechless for a long while.
This guy... is definitely, definitely... not quite right in the head!
But... why can't I find a reason to refute him?
And Yang Li, who was behind them, was also completely dumbfounded.
So that's how it was!
She had never imagined that Chen Gong was here to practice his dissection skills.
Earlier, when he used the lighter taser to hit the nerves, it was clearly a frog nerve reflex electrical stimulation experiment!
But...
Yang Li, looking at Chen Gong's expression, always felt it to be somewhat... complex.
"Liang, I've completely taken care of the bullfrog for you just now. I'll help you with the second..."
Hou Liang hastily interrupted, "No, no need!"
"I feel... you're a bit overqualified for this place."
"Huh? May I ask who you're looking for?"
Hou Liang also noticed Yang Li at this time and curiously asked.
Yang Li quickly explained, "Oh, hello, I'm Chen Gong and their academic advisor. I just had something to discuss with him."
When Chen Gong heard this, he immediately turned around, "Advisor? How did you know I'm here?"
Seeing this, Hou Liang, as if he had found a savior, hastily said to Chen Gong, "Quick, clean up, let's go. Your advisor is looking for you."
"Also, don't come back to the kitchen and cause chaos anymore!"
Hou Liang couldn't wait to drive Chen Gong away.
Seeing this, Yang Li was also full of smiles.
To be honest, Chen Gong, this kid, really is one of a kind.
Who would have thought of coming to the kitchen to practice their dissection skills?
Can a kitchen knife be used as a scalpel?
What a joke...
No, wait!
Suddenly, Yang Li's expression changed, as if she thought of something. She quickly went over to the plate where the bullfrog was placed and looked closely.
With a single glance!
Her expression changed instantly.
This isn't right...
Could this be done with a kitchen knife?
The separation of each system and tissue was just right!
If there had to be a downside, it would be that the cutting technique was somewhat crude, the knife wasn't sharp enough, and both the adhesion and the integrity of the cut were not up to par.
But, after all, a speck on a jade stone doesn't obscure its luster.
Managing to separate the bullfrog's tissues to this degree with a kitchen knife is very commendable.
This demonstrates a sufficient level of understanding in anatomy.
Impressive.
Remarkable!
Truly impressive!
However...
How does he understand the physiological structure and tissue organization of the bullfrog so well?
That's not something found in medical student textbooks, is it?
And besides, foundational knowledge is foundational knowledge, practical application is practical application!
Suddenly, Yang Li thought of a skill, which involuntarily made her pupils contract.
"The clinical application of theoretical knowledge!"
That is, clinical thinking!
This ability was something Yang Li greatly lacked. After completing her PhD, she had considered going into clinical work, but...
After several years of clinical practice, she suddenly discovered a barrier!
She felt she had amassed a solid foundation, yet when it came to clinical work, she couldn't fully utilize it.
It wasn't until her teacher told her, "This is the limitation of insufficient clinical thinking."
"This ability in clinical thinking is the degree to which theoretical knowledge is transformed into clinical application. The stronger one's clinical thinking is, the higher the conversion rate!"
"People with this ability can apply what they learn to clinical practice more effectively!"
"Such individuals often excel both in scientific research and clinical fields, adeptly using their theoretical knowledge in clinical settings, and similarly, converting clinical knowledge into research findings—quite remarkable!"
For this reason, Yang Li had felt downcast for a long time, but then... she realized later on that this ability was not unique to her; in fact, many people did not possess it, or to put it more accurately, their clinical thinking was not that outstanding.
Only then did she come to terms with it and stopped focusing on it.
Yet now, Yang Li hadn't expected to see such an ability in Chen Gong!
If it was about conversion of theory... Chen Gong's clinical thinking abilities were absolutely terrifyingly high!
In the words of her mentor, such a person was a natural-born clinical expert, a future leader in their field.
Yang Li looked at Chen Gong with mixed emotions.
She suddenly wondered if she should bring Chen Gong into the realm of scientific research?
For someone like him, maybe clinical work was actually the best stage for him!
Yet he had already shown in the field of scientific research a strength and thinking that even Great Uncle Yang Guangye found astounding.
Truly terrifying!
Such a person was too abnormal...
Despite being so strong, he was still working so hard.
Yang Li took a deep breath to calm her own heart, then addressed Chen Gong, "Chen Gong, can you come here for a moment? I'd like to talk to you."
"About that question you asked me last time, I have an answer now."
Upon hearing Yang Li's words, Chen Gong's eyes brightened, and he quickly smiled at Hou Liang, "Liang, I'll come help out again next time."
"Instructor, shall we go then?"
Yang Li was taken aback, "Maybe you should wash your hands first?"
...
...
Meanwhile.
In the Basic Science Faculty.
Inside the Vice Dean's office.
Yang Guangye sighed as he looked at the two books in front of him.
The disappointment of thwarted expectations left him feeling somewhat dejected.
He had thought he met someone with a shared vision, but it turned out to be just a kid playing around.
Perhaps he was too anxious?
There was a reason these books hadn't been borrowed from the school library for so many years.
Well then, he'd just read them himself.
As he spoke, Yang Guangye began to flip through the books.
Time ticked away by the second.
Yang Guangye wasn't reading in sequence; he was selectively searching for certain knowledge points.
For instance, he was currently focusing on the theory of the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, and the Carnot Cycle, to see if these theoretical principles could apply to clinical practice.
And it was at that moment...
He unexpectedly discovered a piece of paper tucked between the pages?
"Hmm?"
Yang Guangye frowned slightly and started to read the note.
"Should the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle's forward and reverse processes coexist in the human body, thus intermediate products can either become the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle's substrates or the Carnot Cycle's?"
Looking at the question, Yang Guangye was momentarily stunned.
Because such a question could not come from just anyone!
Whether forward or reverse, there would be intermediate products!
And if the intermediates were the same, it really would be difficult to distinguish...
This question suddenly gave Yang Guangye, who had been in a state of confusion, a spark of inspiration!
In an instant, Yang Guangye became excited.
He couldn't bother with anything else and hurriedly flipped through the book...
At that moment, he was surprised to find that perhaps the person who had borrowed the books before was indeed a rare talent!
Only a sophomore!
And yet, to have such thinking?
Was it a coincidence? Or genius?
Yang Guangye hastily continued flipping through the book.
Maybe, the next note would give him the answer!
