support!
Xia Xu naturally fully supported the research and development project proposed by Gu Haiming. The reason why Gu Haiming invited him over was to apply for the development of this project.
After learning more about the "Second Heart", Xia Xu asked Gu Haiming to start the project as soon as possible without hesitation, and provided money and equipment.
However, the most important demand raised by Gu Haiming was not these, but people.
After all, Xinghai Biopharma was reorganized from Tonghe Pharmaceutical, and the research institute basically has the same staff, so most of the scientific researchers there are specialized in pharmaceutics and other medical fields.
Although medicine will inevitably involve some aspects of biology, except for a few researchers in fields such as biochemistry and pharmacy, it is obviously impossible for them, whose main business is drug development, to be well-versed enough to participate in genetic experiments.
Therefore, the biological laboratory that Gu Haiming is in charge of is now really a bit overwhelmed, with only Ji Le as the only one, and his specialty is biochemical pharmacy rather than genetic engineering.
Different fields have different meanings. The more science and technology develops, the more subdivided it becomes. Although Ji Le is also a three-star talent, he is still one level lower. He can assist in research, but he is far from being able to provide real help to Gu Haiming.
Of course, as a genetic engineering expert with four-star talent, it would be no problem for Gu Haiming to do his own research in genetic experiments, but his efficiency would be much slower.
But every profession has its specialties, and some areas are not so easy to replace.
Although the core research of the Second Heart Project is to cultivate cloned organs that filter special proteins and release pain substances, in order to apply them, they must be implanted into the human body.
Since it is to be implanted in the human body, how to reduce rejection, how to reasonably structure it to integrate it into the blood circulation system, and how to perform the actual surgery are all issues that must be faced and resolved.
Gu Haiming is an expert at genetic modification and organ cloning. He has no problem designing organ and circulatory structures, but he is a bit at a loss when it comes to specific surgeries. Even if he has the knowledge, he does not have the skills.
This is not only needed when applying the technology, but he also always needs someone to assist in testing during the experiment, such as trying to verify the results on mice.
Therefore, if we want to launch the second heart project, the most urgent task is to recruit talents, especially the indispensable surgical talents. According to Gu Haiming, it is best to have the top talents, as scientific experiments cannot tolerate any errors.
"Okay, I'll find it as soon as possible, but it may take some time. Before that, Dr. Gu, please don't operate on yourself."
Xia Xu nodded in agreement, then gave a worried warning.
Finding talents is his main job, so he naturally doesn't feel any pressure about it.
If you visit famous hospitals and medical schools in various provinces and cities, even if you can't find a four- or five-star surgical expert, you can at least find a three-star one.
However, although it may sound a bit extravagant and inflated, he does not want to use three stars to "fill in the gaps".
Currently, he and Gu Haiming are the only known carriers of the special protein. After all, animal experiments such as those on mice cannot solve all problems.
Carriers of special proteins have a rare physique, and it is even more difficult to find volunteers in Xia Country to participate in such dangerous human experiments. The combination of the two makes it even more difficult, and the probability of finding human experimental subjects without illegal means is very slim.
If the experiment reached a critical stage and no suitable human subjects were found for the time being, Xia Xu had no doubt that Gu Haiming would definitely operate on himself.
He didn't want to lose his only four-star genetic engineering expert because of these accidents. Moreover, he might plan to implant a second heart after the experiment was successful, so of course he had to find the safest and most reliable surgeon.
“I wonder if there are any workplace dramas about doctors. It would be even better if it’s an urban online novel or a science fiction drama with human body modification elements…”
Rather than trying his luck in finding a needle in a haystack among a vast crowd of people, Xia Xu naturally thought of using the plot first.
Putting aside the unrealistic online novels about doctors with cheating protagonists, there are still quite a few such dramas in the workplace of doctors from the perspective of TV drama themes, and the skills of the protagonists in them should not be too bad.
There should also be a chance to find good plots in other types of stories, for example, in the Earth movie, a melee mage had a background as a top surgeon before the story began.
Of course, the most reliable way is to start with science fiction plots with related characters.
For example, when a certain unnamed pharmaceutical group is secretly carrying out a human body modification project, you can act as a righteous partner to stop their conspiracy and poach one of their project participants
Thinking about where to poach talents, Xia Xu left the Xinghai Biomedical Research Institute in a daze, and also notified Meng Bochao and others to pay attention to this matter.
As for himself, after visiting all the major hospitals in Star City and failing to get the expected results, he did not waste his energy on this. He just paid attention to the plot and made various plans and studies during the rare free time.
The first thing is naturally his own combat ability. He took advantage of Uncle Luo's time in Star City to make up for the lessons with Uncle Luo.
Shooting skills were also put on the agenda, and training in archery and even firearms was carried out at the special department's shooting range.
The teachers are naturally well-equipped. Uncle Luo asked someone to find a shooting instructor, and occasionally he would contact Grant, the protagonist of "Hunter" who has five-star shooting talent, for remote teaching.
Although he had no relevant talent, his shooting accuracy increased rapidly under the super brain controlled release tablets and a lot of experience guidance and training. At least it was impossible for him to miss a fixed target of at least several dozen meters.
However, fighting and shooting can only be regarded as daily exercises, and they are only taken for one or two hours a day. Xia Xu's real energy is spent on catching up on the various subjects involved in mechanical engineering.
After getting inspiration from the brain control technology and other information left by Pan Yuanhang, he planned to develop in this direction. Now he has the unique condition of super brain controlled release tablets, which naturally cannot be wasted. Not only did he make up for the knowledge in this area, but he also started to develop in the direction of AI and robots.
Speaking of which, Xiao Baihua's talent is "programming". Compared with hacking technology, software system writing is his real expertise. After activating the super brain plug-in, his progress speed can be described as incredible. In short, Xia Xu was hit hard again.
These damn wall-hangers, they think they have great talents! They bully us, the poor ToT students who only have one star in fighting.
I don't know if Andra's jump plan was successful or not. One day, I will show you guys my five-star talents!
When the time comes, I will show off in front of you guys who are just untalented, and let you see my counterattack through acquired efforts!
While making a grand ambition to make a comeback through his own efforts, Xia Xu quickly supplemented his basic mechanical design knowledge with the help of super brain potion, and then began to learn and practice robot design.
It is actually relatively easy to build a simple robot, just like building a four-wheel drive car by yourself when you were a child. It mainly involves putting together components, and with the help and guidance of Zhou Xiaodong and others, it is not too difficult. Instead, it makes him deeply appreciate the joy of making and inventing objects by himself, and he gradually enjoys it.
