Chapter 582: Chapter 226: The Frontier of Medicine

Lu Yuxuan had just checked in at the reception desk when he heard a loud rumble coming from outside.

Then, he saw Xiang Shan.

To his surprise, the man had arrived by helicopter.

"Yo." Xiang Shan raised his hand to greet Lu Yuxuan, "Mr. Lu, welcome to Beiping."

Lu Yuxuan also raised his hand in greeting and shook his head with a wry smile, "I’m not one for grand gestures; I didn’t even have your people pick me up at the airport, and yet you still flew here in a helicopter..."

"Not really," Xiang Shan shrugged, "Your case is now a top priority for our enterprise. At the initial stage of the Benchmark Human Remodeling Surgery, every individual deserves my personal attention."

"Had I known this, I wouldn’t have wandered around on my own..."

Xiang Shan asked, "Have you met the person in charge here yet?"

Lu Yuxuan shook his head, "They said they would be arriving soon..."

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside.

The newcomer was a young woman with very stereotypical blonde hair and blue eyes, and a profound gaze.

She was slightly out of breath. Seeing Xiang Shan, she complained, "Boss, you came too quickly. It makes it seem like I’m not doing my job well."

The woman spoke in English. Lu Yuxuan, who had studied Jeet Kune Do in the Federation, understood her.

Xiang Shan waved his hand, "Everyone has their own job. I’m relatively free right now. You’re usually busy, don’t worry about this small matter." Then, he said to Lu Yuxuan, "This is one of the people in charge here, Ms. Florence Rulman, one of the experts in nursing. I can say that two-tenths of your safety depends on Yawgmoth Voigt, two-tenths on other experts, but at least six-tenths is in her hands."

Lu Yuxuan nodded and held out his hand to the woman, "I’m counting on you, Ms. Rulman."

"You can call me Florence. Mr. Lu, I’ve looked over your history. You are a person worthy of admiration." Florence’s smile was warm, "Also, please relax. I guess the boss must have told you a lot about the potential adverse consequences before you came. But I want to tell you, now that you’ve made your decision and won’t be changing, let’s temporarily put those ’worst-case scenarios’ behind and relax. We have the most professional nursing team in the world here."

The biggest challenge of this gene modification surgery was not the process of ’implanting genes.’ That was not difficult. The Reverse Transcriptase Virus could do it, and Superman Enterprise only used a ’Virus cocktail’ — that is, multiple viruses used at the same time.

Thanks to a special pharmaceutical method invented by Yawgmoth, the potions required for this process were also quite cheap.

The biggest challenge lay in the process of transformation.

During the transformation of the human body, its immune system would attack itself. The innate immune system of Homo sapiens would attack the parts that had been transformed into Benchmark Man. A small portion of the transformed immune system would also attack its Homo sapiens parts.

To ensure that the Spirit Receivers survived the transformation, their immune systems had to be destroyed first, and rebuilt after the transformation was complete.

The process of increasing body temperature was also very dangerous.

Cells of Homo sapiens could not withstand the body temperature of Benchmark Man, and the cells of Benchmark Man could not survive at the body temperature of Homo sapiens.

Especially the nerve cells, which, before the transformation was completed, would suffer irreversible damage from the elevated temperatures.

The real challenge was only here.

This largely required the aid of nursing medicine.

Lu Yuxuan’s wife said, "You must be the best nurse."

"Well, strictly speaking, I can’t say I’m ’the best nurse,’ but the best nurses are definitely here. We have the top nursing team here." Florence smiled, "Just a few years ago, the boss spent a lot of money to acquire a mature team from a private clinic called Mayo."

Xiang Shan shrugged, "Well... that’s a long story."

Lu Yuxuan’s wife was quite moved, "Mayo Clinic... Isn’t that the top private clinic in the world? The forefront of medical technology... something."

When Lu Yuxuan had just had his accident, she had also researched relevant information to see if there was still a chance for Lu Yuxuan’s case. She had learned about this top global clinic.

Florence nodded, "The top, indeed... That cannot be denied. This team used to extend life for the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world, with very solid techniques. However, they can no longer be considered ’the forefront of medical technology.’"

Lu Yuxuan’s wife was puzzled, "Isn’t it said that their ranking hasn’t changed for a long time?"

"Since Yawgmoth Voigt cracked the mysteries of the Enzyme System, human understanding of the body changes daily. What could have been seen as a ’medical revolution’ in the past, now happens every month." Florence’s face showed a touch of pride, "In recent years, the traditional pharmaceutical industry underwent a major reshuffle, and the doctors in hospitals were also replaced. You should know, Mr. Voigt’s alma mater is Harvard University Medical School. With that prestigious label alone, Harvard Medical School can attract plenty of talent. With the revolutionary technology, Massachusetts General Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, has long surpassed Mayo."

"Of course, that is hardly anything. Because the real frontline of medical technology is here."

Florence pointed to the floor beneath her feet.

"Whether it’s for the pursuit of medical technology, idealism, humanitarianism, or for better compensation, this is the best choice for students of nursing."

Her attitude was enthusiastic and sincere, and Lu Yuxuan even felt like he should applaud to enhance the atmosphere.

"Let’s go, we’ll give you a tour."

This gesture was meant to reassure Lu Yuxuan. However, this was a medical research center, and many places were either ’not open to the public’ or ’unsuitable for visiting.’ Soon, they arrived at a small garden in the courtyard of the medical center.

The small garden was quite peculiar. It was split in two, half outdoors and half inside a glass greenhouse. The two halves subtly formed a shape of ’Tai Chi.’ The plants inside the greenhouse were extremely vivid in color, almost unrealistically so.

Two monkeys were playing in this greenhouse.

Lu Yuxuan’s wife found it amusing, "Did you also build this greenhouse for the monkeys?"

"Strictly speaking, not for the monkeys." Xiang Shan pointed towards the gate and then snapped his fingers, "You can feel it outside."

A drone approached the gate quickly and hovered in the sensor area. Following a series of electronic sounds, the gate opened.

Lu Yuxuan and his companion felt a blast of scorching heat.
