Bringing a Hospital Back to the 80s

In her previous life, she was a slacker doctor who returned to 1980. In an unfamiliar environment, the first major problems to solve were food and survival.

Fortunately, she carried a spatial...

Chapter 747: Independent Research Needs Support

Can’t it be made public?

Now the old men understood, and they all complained in their hearts: "It sounds nice, but it turns out that a lot of this technology was stolen from foreign laboratories."

Of course, in their minds, having their own technology stolen is absolutely unacceptable. As for stealing "other people's" things, the more the better, and they have no sense of guilt at all.

Chen Xia continued to deceive:

"For example, the video surveillance system I mentioned consists of a laparoscope, a light source and optical path, a miniature camera, a video converter, a monitor, an automatic cold light source, and a video recorder.

Don't underestimate this surveillance system. Many of its technologies are fully applicable to military applications. If these technologies were stolen by foreign countries, how much harm would it cause to our country?

Some technologies are applicable everywhere, and Chen Xia is definitely not exaggerating.

Many technologies can be "transferred between military and civilian sectors", for example, the high-speed bearings in dental drills use military technology.

Now the old men were convinced. People of that era might not understand the word "patent", but they definitely understood that technology should not be leaked to prevent enemy spies from stealing it.

Although they were convinced, the old men were still a little unwilling, especially Dean Kang, who was now a firm believer in laparoscopic surgery.

"Xiao Chen, tell me, when will you be able to apply for a patent for your laparoscope, thoracoscope, and hysteroscope, mass-produce them, and use them in clinical practice?"

Chen Xia felt that the time was right and could state another purpose of these trips to the capital.

"So, I'd like to ask for your help. These technologies involve many disciplines, including computers, optical sensing, materials, automated machinery, medical equipment, electronic engineering, etc., so I want to set up a laboratory to specifically crack some of these technologies.

As long as we fully understand these technologies and apply for patents for all designs and technologies, so that others cannot copy our machines, our company will be able to start mass production."

There was silence in the audience...

Chen Xia had tricked people into coming all the way to the capital, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

There are so many scientific and technological aspects involved in laparoscopy. Not to mention a company like Pumpkin Vine that lacks scientific research background, even Zhijiang University and Zhijiang University of Technology cannot master these technologies.

Let’s not talk about the manufacturing of precision instruments for now, let’s just talk about the most basic “materials”.

This is not just ordinary steel and copper. Many new materials are involved. Just "carbon steel" and "alloy steel" involve numerous formulas and technologies.

And those "non-metallic materials" are the new things of this era. Even if you can "copy homework", you will not be able to succeed without a lot of financial investment and time accumulation.

This is very different from "copying homework on drugs", which is why Chen Xia did not consider developing the medical device industry until the ninth year after his rebirth.

For example, in materials science, no matter how good your design is, it will be useless without the materials to build it.

In addition, there is another big problem with medical devices, that is, "chips".

Yes, chips. Some people in later generations always brag about what they have invented and innovated, but if someone embargoes your chips, then the truth will be revealed immediately.

For example, the so-called "robots". Let's not talk about whether your domestic robots infringe on foreign patents. How can you innovate when there are tens of thousands of foreign patents?

Let’s talk about chips. All your chips are imported, and the level of your technology depends on the level of chips sold to you.

Then you dare to brag that the robot you "invented" is the most advanced in the world?

So don't brag, it will only corrupt the atmosphere of the academic circle.

Currently, China is the only country that has the strength and ability to develop and imitate these technologies, and the capital is the most powerful. After all, it is home to China's best universities and related research institutes.

Chen Xia is the king of Zhijiang Province, and everyone has to give him some face.

But when he arrived in the capital, who was Chen Xia?

In this place, is money useful?

Therefore, Chen Xia wanted to recruit relevant professional talents, master the technology of laparoscopes, thoracoscopes, gastroscopes and other instruments, be able to completely imitate them, and apply for complete patents. This required someone to help.

Behind famous hospitals such as Union Medical College Hospital and Peking University Health Science Center are top Chinese universities, which in turn have top scientific laboratories.

Chen Xia’s target is them.

A week later, an internal meeting was held at Huaqing University.

Participants in the conference included professors and experts from relevant majors of five universities, including Huaqing University, Peking University, Peking University of Electronic Science and Technology, Peking University of Science and Technology, and Peking University of Science and Technology.

Chen Shuqin attended the meeting as the president of Four Seasons Group and chairman of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company.

“Dear principals, professors, and teachers, this time, our Four Seasons Group has decided to invest 100 million RMB to establish a laboratory code-named ‘Hollow’, which specializes in reverse engineering of laparoscopes, gastroscopes, and other machines.

At the same time, we guarantee that this 100 million is only the initial investment. If there is a need for research later, we will continue to make additional investments. Each discipline will conduct independent research. We will provide each professor with a monthly subsidy of 3,000 yuan, and additional rewards for successful research.

Crash~~~~

Sitting in the conference room were top professors in relevant majors from major universities in the capital. This time, they were told that their fellow Hong Kong compatriots had a project that needed support, so they were arranged by the school to attend the meeting.

Originally, many people thought that this was just a formality, but now when they suddenly heard that there would be a subsidy of 3,000 yuan a month, they were shocked. You have to know that these people usually only earn two or three hundred yuan a month.

This is more than 10 times the profit in one go, not to mention the bonuses in the future. It is too tempting.

Chen Shuqin was very satisfied with the atmosphere on the scene. She believed that if she spent money, she would definitely get the results she wanted.

Why is China's scientific and technological progress so slow? Why can these experts achieve Nobel Prize-level research results as soon as they go abroad to work?

This is because the country is too poor and people are reluctant to invest.

People abroad spend money on researchers and laboratories. A successful project is enough to make a fortune.

What Pumpkin Vine has given them now is a ready-made prototype with a real-life template. Although it is difficult, it provides a research direction and does not cost much money.

Chen Shuqin continued:

"Also, our Pumpkin Vine Company can guarantee that the patents will belong to us, but the relevant papers and academic achievements can be signed by each professor. This honor belongs to you personally."

Where have these professors seen this kind of cooperation model?

To be honest, they don’t care about patents at all, but if the paper is signed by themselves, that’s awesome. They can immediately become famous in the academic circle and become an authority.

Spending other people's money to build your own reputation is like a pie in the sky.
