Chapter 43 The Forty-third Patent



After all the formalities were completed, the first bionic organ to be cultivated was Zhang Ji's father's heart.

After two weeks of cultivation, Zhang Ji's father's heart was delivered to the hospital on time.

The operation was also successful. Zhang Ji's father woke up the next day and all his physical indicators returned to normal.

Zhang Ji's family members were all grateful for Dai Li's bionic organ technology. Zhang Ji's father also expressed his desire to thank her personally many times and called her several times to express his gratitude.

While Zhang Ji's father had not yet been discharged from the hospital, Dai Li took the time to go to the hospital.

Visiting Zhang Ji's father was secondary. The more important reason was that she and Liu Youkang had a collaboration. Liu Youkang took the lead in promoting a project to treat disabled retired veterans.

The first group of people selected in the document were all commended heroes, but most of them were suffering from serious illnesses with serious and complicated conditions.

Whether it can be cured and to what extent it can be cured still requires Dai Li to personally evaluate before making a decision.

That's why we have a meeting today.

Dai Li took Wu Xuelin with her. Wu Xuelin was a very fast learner. It was his first time to come into contact with bionic technology, but now he can apply what he has learned to other similar situations. Bringing him along to assist her could save her half the time.

There are more than twenty disabled veterans attending the meeting today. Just seeing their mutilated bodies is enough to make people feel heavy.

Some people had their arms blown off while trying to save their comrades while clearing mines.

Some of them were attacked in terrorist attacks during peacekeeping missions, were hit in the head, and now only half of their face is left.

Some people rushed into the fire to save others and were burned beyond recognition.

There was also a person who fell from a height while saving someone and became paralyzed all over, and was unable to come to the meeting today.

Such stories may happen at any time because they are always the bravest and the first to rush to the front.

When ordinary people see them appear in the news, they may sigh, feel regretful, and feel distressed, but they will not have any more feelings.

But when you see them standing in front of you alive with your own eyes, the shock they bring to you with their current mutilated bodies is completely different.

The atmosphere at the scene was not as heavy as expected.

The disabled veterans present were all very open-minded and optimistic, with smiles on their faces all the time. They even joked with Liu Youkang, asking the commander if they were going to regain their glory and become popular in their local area after returning.

Most of the disabled veterans at the scene were single, and the reasons were similar.

So what if they are heroes? The government subsidies cannot change the fact that they are physically disabled. Most of them are not only unable to take care of each other, some of them cannot even take care of themselves and need their spouses to take care of them. They will have to live like this day after day, year after year for the rest of their lives.

It is not easy to be a hero's mother, nor is it easy to be a hero's spouse.

Of course there are also those who don’t mind their physical disabilities, but they don’t want to drag others down and become a burden to others.

But in fact, deep down, many people can still get married, have children and form a small family. `

Liu Youkang naturally understood their psychology, but he didn't dare to make any promises about professional matters. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He whispered to Dai Li about the effect of the operation.

"I can't say anything about the others. I have to look at the medical records first." Dai Li glanced around and her eyes fell on the firefighter who was burned all over his body.

"If the burns are all over the body, we can use photos to model the original appearance, then grow bionic skin on the face, and then perform a skin transplant. After recovery, the face will be indistinguishable from the original."

This was the first time the disabled veterans at the scene had heard of such a special treatment method, and they were all stunned.

The retired firefighter who was burned was named Zhao Junyi. He was the first to ask, "Can the skin all over my body be replaced with the bionic skin you mentioned?"

Dai Li: "Would you mind taking off your hat and coat? I want to see your specific situation."

Zhao Junyi agreed without any hesitation.

He didn't come alone, his father was with him.

Then I watched him, with the help of his father, struggle to take off his hat and coat, revealing his hideous, twisted, and growth-covered skin.

Starting from the top of the head, there is not a single piece of intact skin on the entire body.

Zhao Junyi suffered burns over a large area. When he was rescuing the fire, a chemical gas tank exploded. All his comrades who rushed in with him died. He was lucky to have survived.

The real situation of the lucky Zhao Junyi is not optimistic. Both of his ears were burned to varying degrees, and now he has no auricles. The hair follicles on his scalp were also burned, and he has never grown hair since then.

Now he wears a hat every day, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold.

It wasn't just his head that was the problem; his entire body was.

Because he suffered severe burns all over his body, there were no good pieces of skin on his body for transplant surgery. So his recovery was very slow. He could only wait for the skin on his inner thighs to recover again and again before undergoing a second transplant. He stayed in the hospital for more than two years.

Not only did he suffer a lot, but the recovery results were also unsatisfactory.

His skin is now inelastic, and movements that ordinary people can do easily, such as squatting, raising hands, bending over, and walking, are extremely difficult for him.

Every movement he made would pull his skin, causing him to feel an extreme pain of skin being torn.

Most of the people at the scene had seen gunfire and bullets, and they couldn't help but gasp for Zhao Junyi when they saw his condition.

I also know that his skin must have suffered a lot.

Every time Zhao Junyi's father saw his son like this, he couldn't help but wipe away his tears.

The old man, over fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples and tears in his eyes, looked at Dai Li with an almost pleading look: "Teacher, I don't expect my son to fully recover. I just hope that after he gets treatment, he can take care of himself, otherwise, when I leave with his mother, the child won't be able to take care of himself."

It can be seen that this is not the first time the old man has begged others to save his son. Although he has received countless desperate answers, he still holds a glimmer of hope, hoping that his son can recover.

"Dad, calm down. We agreed on this before you came. Don't cry." Zhao Junyi raised his hand with difficulty to wipe his father's tears.

The old man quickly stopped him: "Don't move, kid, Dad is fine, Dad won't cry."

Liu Youkang: "Brother, don't worry. As long as Teacher Xiao Dai can do it, she will do her best to help you."

The old man nodded and waited eagerly for Dai Li to speak.

Dai Li flipped through Zhao Junyi's medical record and carefully observed his specific condition, and had an idea in her mind.

"I have a general understanding of your situation. Not only can your skin be replaced, but you can also get a pair of bionic auricles for your ears. After the scalp transplant surgery has healed, you can also undergo hair follicle transplants. After the recovery period is over, your appearance will be the same as before, and others will not know you were injured. Your future movements will not be restricted, and you will no longer feel the pain of skin tearing."

As Dai Li explained, the expression on Zhao Junyi's face became more and more shocked.

The old man asked in disbelief, "Teacher, are you saying that Junyi will fully recover? You can't even tell he was injured?"

Dai Li: "Old man, your son's condition is not complicated. It's just that his condition was serious at the time. Saving his life was more important. There was not enough skin on his body for the transplant surgery."

"The situation now is different. The skin we've grown with our technology is tailor-made for Zhao Junyi. It has specific zones. The skin on his face fits his facial contours, and the skin on his hands fits his fingers. It matches him perfectly, and there's no difference from before his injury."

The old man couldn't fully understand her explanation, but he still got the key points.

After the operation, Zhao Junyi will recover to his pre-injury state!

The old man wanted to laugh happily but didn't dare to, for he was afraid that Dai Li and his son had colluded with each other in advance and deliberately deceived him.

"Teacher, don't just say nice things to comfort me, an old man. Tell me the truth, and I will listen to anything."

Liu Youkang: "Don't worry, brother. Teacher Xiao Dai said your son's condition is not complicated. She is confident that he will make a full recovery after the surgery, so you can rest assured. Didn't you see Xiu Nian a few days ago? His eyeballs were atrophied and his leg bones were nailed, so he couldn't walk properly. But now look at how he has recovered."

"And Brother Zhang, whom you met today, has had a heart transplant. Before the transplant, he was afraid to climb stairs because he would feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. After the transplant, he even played football with the kids downstairs this morning."

Bai Xiunian has almost recovered now. Although his legs are still in the recovery period, it does not affect his walking, and he has already returned to work.

Zhang Ji's father will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow.

The old man thought of Bai Xiunian and Zhang's father whom he had seen in the past two days, and the doubts in his heart were slightly dispelled.

Not only Zhao Junyi's father, but almost everyone present was willing to try the new technology of bionic organs only after seeing the examples of Bai Xiunian and Zhang's father.

Atrophied eyeballs can be replaced biomimetly, and they are no different from real eyeballs. Hearts can also be replaced directly without any rejection reaction.

No matter which example it is, it is worth giving it a try to give themselves a new life.

Father Zhao held Dai Li's hand tightly, with thousands of words on his lips, which finally converged into a simple sentence.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Dai Li patted the old man's hand and said, "You're welcome, old man. It's my honor to do this for you."

The old man nodded heavily, knowing that Dai Li still had to check on other people's situations, so he didn't continue to take up her time.

Dai Li checked the conditions of the retired wounded soldiers one by one, and none of them were a big problem for her.

Those whose spines are deformed due to injuries can have them replaced with bionic spines, and those whose arms are broken off while clearing mines can also have them replaced with bionic arms.

In short, they will all have a healthy body in the near future.

While everyone was congratulating themselves, they looked at the person in the innermost corner with concern.

His case was more complicated because his injury was to the head.

Teng Gaofeng was once a peacekeeping soldier who participated in international peacekeeping abroad for four years. Due to a conflict between local armed forces, he was hit by a stray bullet while protecting the transfer of overseas Chinese.

He was lucky enough not to die on the spot, but his injuries were not optimistic at all.

Two-fifths of his skull was shattered, one-quarter of his facial bones were shattered, one eye was missing, and his brain tissue was damaged.

Teng Gaofeng underwent nearly ten operations before he barely managed to survive.

At that time, even the attending physicians did not hold much hope for his chances of survival, saying that his survival was a miracle of life.

Now one side of Teng Gaofeng's head is sunken, and there are no eyes or ears on that side of his face, as if Nuwa missed a corner when she created human beings.

His condition is not just a superficial problem. Due to damage to his brain tissue, his language and movements are affected. He often has uncontrolled hands and feet, is unable to speak freely at any time, and sometimes even has trouble controlling his urination and defecation.

He has undergone four or five brain repair surgeries over the years, but the results have not been very ideal.

Brain surgery is difficult and risky, and the human brain is complex. None of the attending doctors who have performed the surgery are completely sure that they can completely repair Teng Gaofeng's brain tissue.

Teng Gaofeng didn't have much hope when he came this time. It was just that the leader called on him, so he came to make up the numbers.

He sat in his seat with a blank expression, just hoping that the meeting would end as soon as possible.

The joy of the people around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He might be able to feel happy for others, but this joy would not last long.

Then he found that his vision darkened and someone walked in front of him.

He knew that it was finally his turn.

He waited calmly, waiting for them to shake their heads helplessly, just like his previous attending physicians.

Then he continued to live his current miserable life.

It's really ridiculous. A tall and strong man like him, who used to be able to run 40km while carrying 20kg, control criminals with his bare hands, and kill terrorists from 100 meters away, can't even hold a gun properly and has to wear diapers when going out.

Teng Gaofeng had the most cases among the people present, simply because his condition was the most complicated.

Dai Li finished reading it in no time.

Then I heard her tell Wu Xuelin: "The modeling of his skull is now in your hands."

While taking notes, Wu Xuelin replied, "No problem. I can take care of the bionic eyeball and the bionic ear, but you should take care of his damaged brain tissue."

Dai Li reminded: "There are also hair follicles and facial soft tissue."

Wu Xuelin tapped the keyboard with one hand and said without looking up, "Don't worry, I've got it all."

Dai Li nodded. She was confident in Wu Xuelin's work.

Teng Gaofeng was stunned. Why didn't they ask him any questions? It seemed like they had already agreed on his treatment plan.

He hurriedly called out to Dai Li: "Teacher, the situation is fine, is there any problem at all?"

His language system is rather chaotic, and he tends to speak unclearly when he is anxious.

However, the more he said the wrong thing, the more anxious he became, causing him to speak more unclearly, or even be unable to express himself.

Dai Li: "Are you asking me if there is anything wrong with your situation?"

Teng Gaofeng stuttered loudly: "Yes!"

Dai Li: "Don't worry, no, your condition will not be difficult to treat with our technology. Just wait for the surgery to be arranged."

She said that she had no difficulty treating a disease that brain experts across the country were helpless to treat.

Teng Gaofeng's language system was already chaotic, and now he didn't know how to express his feelings.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Dai Li was about to leave, but Teng Gaofeng suddenly grabbed her clothes.

You can tell from the twitching of his nostrils that he is very excited.

As a result, he moved his mouth several times, but only made monosyllables and was unable to speak a sentence normally.

Dai Li smiled slightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, we can talk after you recover. Believe us, we won't keep you waiting for long."

Teng Gaofeng stood there in a daze, then nodded stiffly.

In one afternoon, Dai Li and Wu Xuelin collected the medical conditions of everyone on the first list.

Bring it back to the company to start making overall arrangements and complete the declaration work at the same time.

Due to the special circumstances of their case, the regulatory panel's approval came quickly.

These people were also admitted to the hospital one after another under arrangement, waiting for surgery.

Zhao Junyi and Teng Gaofeng were assigned to the same ward.

There is one thing in common between their surgeries: they cannot be completed in one operation, but require several rounds of surgery.

Because the operation period is long, their surgery was scheduled earlier.

Zhao Junyi's mother and father take turns to take care of him, while Teng Gaofeng is still alone, but he paid for a nurse to take care of him after the operation.

Zhao Junyi had heard that Teng Gaofeng's parents died early, and after the divorce, his wife took the children with her, so he was now alone at home.

Therefore, Zhao Junyi's parents took great care of him. Every time they came, they treated him as their own son, which made Teng Gaofeng very embarrassed.

Teng Junfeng would not stay in the ward unless he had nothing to do, for fear that Zhao Junyi's mother would peel apples for him or wash clothes for him.

Today he was sitting in the hospital garden again, feeding the goldfish with steamed buns. Zhao Junyi found him and sat down next to him.

"You slipped away so quickly that I ate two apples by myself."

Teng Junfeng broke off a corner of the steamed bun and threw it into the pond. Without even turning his head, he said, "Someone peeled an apple for you. It's a very happy thing."

Zhao Junyi rubbed his stomach and said, "You should call me when you go out next time."

Teng Junfeng: "Let's go out together and scare the kids?"

The two of them appearing together are indeed scary, one is missing half a head, and the other is completely unrecognizable.

During the few days they have been in the hospital, children have been scared by them every day, and they have successfully scared five children to tears.

The adults and children were very embarrassed and kept apologizing to them, but it was impossible to reason with the children. They only knew that the two uncles were scary.

Zhao Junyi jokingly said, "It's okay to scare adults."

Anyway, many adults would be scared if they suddenly saw them.

As soon as Zhao Junyi finished speaking, he heard a scream.

It turned out that a pregnant woman had just finished her prenatal check-up and was in a good mood to take a stroll in the garden, so she asked her husband to accompany her.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, when they suddenly saw Teng Gaofeng with half of his head missing, and they instinctively screamed.

If it scares an ordinary person, it's fine, but if it scares a pregnant woman, the problem becomes a big deal.

And the pregnant woman's belly looks quite big, at least six or seven months pregnant.

Teng Gaofeng wanted to say something, but he was worried about the baby in the pregnant woman's belly, and his mouth started to become uncontrollable again.

Zhao Junyi knew his situation and was ready to act as Teng Gaofeng's spokesperson.

"I'm sorry, I scared you, the baby is fine..." After seeing the pregnant woman's face, Zhao Junyi's words stopped abruptly and his expression froze, even though he couldn't make any expression with his current face.

The pregnant woman opposite also saw him and her face froze, but the same expression became more vivid on her face.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they knew each other, and it would be awkward not to say hello.

She smiled awkwardly: "Are you receiving treatment in this hospital?"

"I'll have a skin transplant in two days," Zhao Junyi answered frankly, then his eyes fell on her belly, "I didn't know you were married. Congratulations."

"We got married last year in my husband's hometown. It's too far away, so I didn't notify many people," she smiled very unnaturally and immediately shifted the topic to Zhao Junyi.

"You just said you were going to have another skin graft? I hope your surgery goes well this time."

"I hope so too. The teacher who treated me said I should be able to make a full recovery."

She didn't take Zhao Junyi's words seriously. How could Zhao Junyi be fully recovered in his current condition?

But the polite words still need to be said: "You will definitely make a full recovery, and then you will be the most handsome supermodel firefighter on the Internet again."

The words came out of her mouth, and she froze in the middle of it, her face looking extremely embarrassed.

Then she found an excuse and took her husband away.

Zhao Junyi took half of Teng Gaofeng's steamed bun and began to feed the fish silently.

Teng Gaofeng: "Girl, friend?"

Zhao Junyi: "Ex-girlfriend."

Teng Gaofeng: "Yeah, I guess."

In fact, Zhao Junyi no longer had any feelings for his ex-girlfriend, as they had been separated for many years.

It was just that the title of "the most handsome supermodel firefighter on the Internet" that she mentioned just now stimulated his sensitive self-esteem.

He was captured on local social news when he carried the unconscious old lady out of the fire.

Zhao Junyi's legs looked about 1.2 meters long, his chest and back were as broad as a double-door refrigerator, his profile was strong and thin, and he had an easy and relaxed movement when he picked up the old lady.

He successfully became a hot topic and was praised by netizens as "the most handsome supermodel firefighter on the entire Internet."

This ex-girlfriend saw the news about him online, found out about him and started pursuing him.

At that time, Zhao Junyi told her that his job was very dangerous and busy, but she did not hesitate and said that she was willing to be the one who silently supported him behind the scenes. Even if he had an accident in the future, she would not regret it. She just wanted to be with him forever and liked him as a person, not his appearance.

Zhao Junyi: "You can't trust everything a person in love says, no matter if it's a man or a woman."

The ex-girlfriend may have really liked him, but she also really disliked the way he is now.

After Zhao Junyi was injured, his girlfriend came to see him more frequently except for the few days when he was in intensive care. After that, she came less and less, and often she didn't see him for a month.

The relationship between the two naturally came to an end. The only consolation for Zhao Junyi was that she at least sent him a breakup message instead of disappearing without a word.

Teng Gaofeng struggled to comfort him: "It's okay, there will be a more suitable treatment in the future. Just cooperate with the treatment."

"I'm not sad. I've forgotten her a long time ago. I don't want to find a girlfriend for the time being. I just want to be well, go out and earn money, and then let my parents not worry so much."

Teng Gaofeng was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Yes."

Zhao Junyi: "What about you, if you can get better, what are your plans?"

Teng Gaofeng was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I want to fight for the custody of my daughter."

After Teng Gaofeng divorced his wife, the child went with his mother because he was unable to take care of him.

But now the ex-wife is married to a family that favors boys over girls. His daughter was never taken seriously in the past. Moreover, his ex-wife later gave birth to a son and a daughter, so his daughter became even more marginalized in that family.

The daughter secretly called him several times, saying that she missed her father and wanted him to pick her up.

The grandparents here don’t like her, her new father doesn’t like her, and her mother’s mind is all on her younger siblings. When she was sick, her mother didn’t care, and it was her teacher who took her to the hospital.

The skirt and toys her father bought for her were broken by her younger brother, but her grandmother still scolded her, saying that her toys had pierced a small hole in her younger brother's hand.

Every time his daughter called, she would cry to him about the recent grievances she had suffered.

Teng Gaofeng wanted to take his daughter home a thousand times, but the reality was that he had difficulty taking care of himself, so how could he possibly take care of a child?

And what would my daughter’s classmates and teachers think of her if they knew that she has a father with only half a face?

Teng Gaofeng stumbled as he told his story, and halfway through, this strong man couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhao Junyi searched his body for a long time but couldn't find any paper, so he could only pat Teng Gaofeng on the shoulder.

"It will pass. Trust the skills of Teacher Dai and the others. They can replace eyes and hearts, so you can definitely get better too."

Teng Gaofeng had just managed to calm down when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out his cell phone and saw five words on the caller ID: Qiqi, little baby.

It's his daughter.
