Sang Ning awakened. She found herself on a barren planet with only a knife as her equipment and supplies.

To survive and claim the高额奖金and habitable planet, primitive species Sang Ning...

Chapter 479 Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine

What's there to be uncertain about? Medical robots can do what human doctors can do.

Medical robots can do things that human doctors can't.

After all, medical robots have advantages that humans cannot possess.

For example, medical robots have extremely strong learning abilities, or their hands are very stable.

In addition, medical robots are also determined and unmoved by external things.

Humans are prone to problems such as poor memory and inattentiveness, but medical robots are not.

They don't have that much curiosity.

However, medical robots are not without their drawbacks. No matter how strong their learning ability is, medical robots cannot match intelligent life in terms of flexibility and adaptability.

Well, since it's a man-made product, medical robots still have certain limitations in their thinking and behavior patterns.

Therefore, Sang Ning believes that medical robots can learn acupuncture faster and better than humans can.

However, they cannot be put into practice.

"Medical robots can learn acupuncture quickly and well, but they cannot be used in practice."

Sang Ning said calmly, "If you can accept it, I will teach you."

"If you can't accept it, then forget it."

It saves her trouble too.

"ah?"

The director was quite pleased to hear from Sang Ning that medical robots could learn quickly and well, since it meant they could obtain new data through acupuncture.

However, it turned out to be unusable in practice.

The director was immediately stunned.

Why can't it be used in practice?

Sang Ning explained, "Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is very particular; it's not necessary to use acupuncture for every disease."

"Furthermore, even for illnesses that require acupuncture, the acupuncture points vary depending on the symptoms, so you can't just stick them indiscriminately."

Worried that the director might not understand, Sang Ning gave an example: "It's like cell repair fluid and comprehensive detoxification agent. One is for treating cell damage, and the other is for detoxification."

"Then you can't use an antidote to treat cell damage, nor can you use cell repair fluid to treat poisoned patients."

"Acupuncture is similar; different acupoints have different uses and correspond to different symptoms."

"In addition, the depth of needle insertion should be determined according to the symptoms."

With that, Sang Ning concluded helplessly, "This is why I said that even if medical robots learn acupuncture, they cannot be used in practice."

Because it cannot be treated according to the methods of traditional Chinese medicine, it is actually no different from the theory.

The director was numb, and he mumbled, "No... what's the use of learning acupuncture if it can't be practiced?"

But that's not the point. The point is—

"If it can't be used in practice, how can we obtain the corresponding new data?"

Sang Ning spread his hands with an innocent face and said, "You'll have to figure out a solution yourselves. All I can do is compile the acupuncture techniques into relevant data and transmit it to the medical robot. That's all I can do."

"This won't do."

The chief director was not involved in the field; his responsibilities and expertise were not in the medical field, but that did not diminish his determination to find a solution.

He paced around the living room, muttering to Sang Ning, "Since you've already taught acupuncture, why not go all the way and teach us how to use Chinese herbal medicine to treat illnesses, and how to take pulses, etc.?!"

"I think you're just dreaming."

Before Sang Ning could speak, Gu Shiqian jumped up excitedly as if a bomb had been lit, and blurted out, "Teach me everything again?"

"If you're so audacious, why don't you just fly to the sky?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine? Do you know how many kinds of herbs are represented by just one Compendium of Materia Medica in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"I can tell you definitively that Sang Ning's theory outweighs his practice."

"There are hardly any plants on planet E72. She doesn't even recognize all the herbs in the Compendium of Materia Medica. How did you come up with the idea of ​​having her teach them all?"

"Isn't this just misleading young people...?"

His voice filled the entire living room. Sang Ning didn't say a word, but instead nodded repeatedly as if to say, "Uncle Gu is right."

That's right, the original owner of this body couldn't recognize all the medicinal herbs in the Compendium of Materia Medica, but she could.

But she didn't intend to talk about it.

She definitely can't handle genetic diseases.

The doctor's compassionate heart is useless when it comes to genetic diseases. What she needs to do now is let Uncle Gu do his job and extricate himself from the situation.

To avoid being targeted by the new world and causing unnecessary trouble and annoyance.

Instead of making trouble for yourself by showing off how capable you are for some unknown entity.

It's not worth it, really not worth it.

She knew perfectly well what she could and couldn't do.

The director was devastated when he saw her nod, having to endure Gu Shiqian's spittle flying everywhere while Sang Ning shattered his hopes.

After Gu Shiqian finished speaking, he was completely distraught.

Still unwilling to give up, he asked Sang Ning, "Is there really no way to teach him?"

"There's really no way to teach him."

Sang Ning started counting on her fingers, "Let's not talk about anything else, let's start with the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine..."

"Wait, Traditional Chinese Medicine also has a basic theory?"

The director was shocked, and Sang Ning asked in surprise, "Why not? Which medical system today doesn't start from basic theory?"

Director-General, "..."

The director thought about it for a moment, felt there was nothing wrong with it, and then said, "You can continue."

Sang Ning responded with an "oh," and continued as he had requested.

However, this only made the director more confused and more desperate.

Why do the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine include Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, Zang-Zang five-system theory, pathogenesis theory, and pathological phenomena?

What are the Eight Principles?

What is the Illustrated Sutra?

Why is there still the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, and why is this Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic divided into Ling Shu and Su Wen?

Besides these, there are also observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, as well as prescriptions based on symptoms, etc., which really made him wish he had no head left.

Finally, Sang Ning stopped. The director was in extremely poor condition at this point. Not only were his eyes filled with mosquito coil circles, but his expression was also completely blank.

The world fell silent.

Gu Shiqian waited for him to speak, but after waiting and waiting, the director still didn't say anything, and he still seemed to be in a daze, as if his soul had left his body.

He swallowed hard and said to Sang Ning, "How come I don't remember these things being mentioned in ancient Chinese medical texts?"

The director's eyes flickered, but Sang Ning didn't notice. Instead, she smiled and said, "Yes, there are. You just didn't notice. All of these are in Sand-proof Cave No. 2."

Sand shelter No. 2?

Gu Shiqian frowned and pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing, "I've always kept bronze artifacts, jade cabbages, and other antiques in Sand Control Cave No. 2. So, the heritage related to traditional Chinese medicine is also kept there?"

"Um."

Sang Ning nodded. "Originally, it wasn't kept inside. It was in Sand Control Cave No. 5, but when I was seven years old, Sand Control Cave No. 5 collapsed, right? So Aunt Tang and the others cleaned out the collection from Sand Control Cave No. 5 and moved it to a different location."
