In the small conference room, the four people's eyes were focused on Li Xian.
What to do
Li Xian's previous words were passionate, but how should they be implemented? Saying and doing are two completely different things.
Li Xian was not in a hurry. "I have said this to Gu Yueyuhua before. In the future, we may be able to create a golden elixir, or cultivate a brand new human body with a little flesh. Let everyone practice, let everyone live forever. For this reason, I proposed a brand new medical concept - human life science. It expands simple and pure medicine into a brand new scientific field. It includes medical treatment, but it is by no means limited to medical treatment. It also includes the analysis and research of the human body, and even the exploration of the essence of practice and even the origin of human beings, etc."
Wu Bu Gu listened, not quite understanding, "Please explain it clearly, explain it clearly, don't just talk about big principles, say something specific and easy to understand."
Li Xian said without hesitation: "Teacher, do you know how many bones there are in the human body?"
"This... maybe two or three hundred yuan. Who has the time to count these things? I guess evil people wouldn't do these things." Wu Bu Gu seemed a little disgusted.
Li Xian shook his head slightly. "If we don't understand the human body, how can we cure diseases and save lives? How can we explore the mysteries of the human body? If I say that the total length of blood vessels in the human body exceeds 100,000 kilometers, do you believe me?"
"How is that possible!" Wu Bugu said in disbelief. "If that were true, wouldn't the blood vessels of three people be long enough to form a 'Shang Kingdom-Zhao Kingdom artery'? It's really a fantasy."
Li Xian did not refute, but continued: "If I say that the main elements in the human body are exactly the same as the main elements in trees, can you believe it, teacher?"
"Humans are made of flesh and blood, and trees are made of wood. How can they be the same?"
"An ordinary person will die completely if he doesn't breathe for seven minutes; he can only survive for seven days at most without water. However, if he drinks water but doesn't eat, he can survive for about 50 to 60 days, or even longer, in extreme cases."
At this moment, Wu Bu Gu suddenly stood up and glared at Li Xian: "How do you know this information? Did you use living people for experiments?"
Li Xian shook his head. "We didn't use living people for experiments, but we did use monkeys. In fact, monkeys and humans behave almost the same in many situations. Teacher, the human body is a world of its own. Don't you want to understand it? Only by understanding the human body can we push medicine to a peak."
Wu Bu Gu narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time: "What do you want? All of this makes me feel that you are not just talking about building a medical system for the people."
"Of course we need to establish a medical system. However, to establish a medical system, we must have a sufficient understanding of the human body and life. Of course, we must also have some understanding of medicinal materials, related technologies, etc. The social core of the Shang Dynasty is capitalism and free competition. But the foundation of the Shang Dynasty is science and technology. All the social foundations of the Shang Dynasty can be traced back to their corresponding science and technology. If medicine wants to develop in the long run, it must also establish its own scientific core. And I believe that the core of medicine is life science. Medicine is just one of the more important branches of life science."
