Chapter 1185: Chapter 929 Optimal Selection Method_2

"You continue with the experiments, just keep heading in this direction," Yang Ping instructed Tang Shun. "There’s definitely nothing wrong with it, I will plan the experimental route thoroughly using the Optimal Selection Method."

The professor was gearing up to make a move. Whenever he began to frequently inspect the lab, it indicated his dissatisfaction with the progress of the experiments and his intention to intervene powerfully. Every time he mentioned Optimal Selection Method, it implied that he would soon present a better plan. And whenever the professor asked for A4 paper, it meant that the experimental plan was crystal clear, and success was just around the corner.

The magic behind the professor was the Optimal Selection Method, which might be too profound and complex to be revealed just yet, so Tang Shun didn’t inquire further.

Yang Ping moved from the Tumor Laboratory to the Stem Cell Laboratory, where research on the spatial orientation gene of muscles was still underway, aiming for more precise activation and control. Currently, the lab could only clone a piece of muscle that, despite having a complete structure, consisted merely of a single muscle belly and two tendons at each end, clearly the simplest form of human muscle.

The next goal of the laboratory was to cultivate specific muscles, such as the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, popliteus, etc., and even control the volume and shape of the muscles.

Of course, the lab was also actively searching for other spatial orientation genes.

Eventually, Yang Ping arrived at the Skin Expansion Laboratory. Although the skin augmentation experiments had been hugely successful, why skin could expand in such a way, while other organs could not, remained a mystery.

To lift the veil on this mystery would require scientific experimentation.

Skin is one of the most miraculous organs of the human body, hiding many secrets; the study of which might reveal much.

Yang Ping was very satisfied with the laboratory director, Tang Shun, who managed the lab immaculately, implementing his experimental plans effectively, and sometimes, even offering valuable suggestions.

If they could also retain Li Yingtong, the strength of the laboratory would increase significantly.

Principal Ruo was very committed to Yang Ping’s nomination for Academician. The number of academicians represented the scientific research strength of a university and also meant more research resources. Yang Ping must become an Academician, at least during his own term.

Now, in terms of research achievements, Yang Ping fully met the standards. His biggest shortcoming was seniority, a nebulous concept which sometimes seemed very rigid, while other times very flexible.

After Principal Ruo’s mediation, the whole Nandu Medical University had united, working harmoniously without a trace of dissonance.

Vice Principal Ding, who originally held opposing views, immediately switched to the supporting side after being promised a slot as an Outstanding Young Talent for his son-in-law, naturally causing the opposition to crumble.

Adults always talk about interests, and Vice Principal Ding was a master at grasping opportunities for his own benefit, timing his moves perfectly, and riding the momentum to secure the Outstanding Young Talent slot for his son-in-law once again.

When everyone’s qualifications matched, who got the slot came down to a collective decision.

Principal Ruo had not anticipated how smoothly things would go when he approached Dean Xia about the matter. Dean Xia said that he wanted to talk to young people.

Giving up the competition for the next Outstanding Young Talent affected the interests of the young scientists, and Dean Xia couldn’t decide alone; he had to consult with them and gain their understanding and forgiveness.

Dean Xia initially felt guilty about discussing this with the young scientists, but they simply did not care about the title of Outstanding Young Talent and unanimously agreed to give up the competition for it—an exemplary and broad-minded group of youth.

In fact, for Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, becoming an Outstanding Young Talent was only a matter of time. Their focus was on scientific research, not on such titles.

Principal Ruo reflected that the new generation push the old; the future of Nandu Medical University seemed bright indeed.

This generation of young people at Nandu Medical University was brimming with talent; not to mention a rare genius like Yang Ping, but also Guan Ruyan, Lin Lan, and others from the main campus, Su Nanchen, Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang, Tang Shun, and more from the affiliated hospitals—too many to count on one’s fingers.

Principal Ruo had an idea to hold a seminar for young people, bringing them together for exchanges, which would be conducive to future cooperation.

Yang Ping, Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang, and Guan Ruyan are considered to have had conflicts in the past. Yang Ping "stole" Guan Ruyan’s Outstanding Young Talent, and now Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang are making way for Guan Ruyan’s Outstanding Young Talent. Sometimes competition is not unusual, but it is very necessary for everyone to become friends, show mutual understanding, and create a positive work environment at Nandu Medical University. It’s beneficial to hold such a salon to allow the young people to interact and communicate more.

"How about this, let everyone share their latest projects for discussion, so they know what each other is working on, sound good?"

Principal Ruo suggested.

The vice principals thought it was a good idea. Vice Principal Ding was very pleased, knowing that his son-in-law often interacted with these young people; it would definitely be a good thing if they could become friends in the future.

In fact, Principal Ding was not keen on antagonizing Su Qingyun, and now that Principal Ruo proposed such a salon, he understood the implication: it was an opportunity for the young people to resolve their conflicts.

Besides, with Yang Ping’s pending academician nomination, as long as his son-in-law could secure the Outstanding Young Talent position, Principal Ding felt he should be even more supportive than others, thus perfectly resolving the prior conflict with Su Qingyun.

"I’ll organize this event. The location will be at our Nandu Medical University, and the participants will be as the principal mentioned, mainly young talents from the entire Nandu system. They should indeed exchange and debate with each other to foster a good academic atmosphere." Principal Ding was now very enthusiastic.

"Young people are not like us, always harmonious; their debates can be fierce. Should we have several senior professors to keep things in order?" one vice principal worried about whether the young ones would be amiable.

Principal Ruo waved his hand: "We want debate. What’s an academic conference without debate? Truth becomes clearer through argument. We old folks have already lost our edge and our questioning spirit; we’re actually no longer suitable for scientific research. I hope they can always maintain a young, curious, and skeptical heart."

The others thought that Principal Ruo also made a good point. Back when they were young, they were full of passion, daring to question everything and curious about new things. Now—those days were long gone.

Yang Ping knew that Nandu Medical University nominated him for an academician, and Manstein recommended him for the Nobel Prize, but it didn’t really stir him much inside.

He didn’t have much interest in these things anymore, and what currently caught his greatest interest was the system’s points.

If these accomplishments didn’t bring points, he might genuinely have no interest in pursuing them.

For Yang Ping, everything seemed to fall into place naturally. He had already been promoted to chief physician and professor, and Song Zimo had also been promoted with him to associate chief physician and associate professor, while Zhang Lin and Little Five had managed to secure a position as attending physician.

The accompanying qualifications for guiding masters and doctoral students were all already in place, including postdoctoral teaching eligibility, with Li Yingtong set to be the first postdoc mentored by Yang Ping.

Soon, when it came time for the admission of graduate students and doctoral candidates, Yang Ping would have his very first master’s and doctoral students.

When news got out that Yang Ping had become a doctoral supervisor, several classmates began pulling strings, hoping to pursue their Ph.D. under his guidance.

Ou Lichun, among the graduate students at Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1, was the first to learn that Yang Ping had become a doctoral supervisor. He immediately contacted Yang Ping, hoping to read for his doctorate under him.

Li Guodong and Doctor Zhao Wenbo from the Surgical Research Institute were also keen to apply for Yang Ping’s doctoral program, and both were already preparing for the entrance exams.

It didn’t matter who they were; as long as they won through fair competition, Yang Ping would welcome them to study for their doctorate with him. However, cheating, favoritism, or backdoor dealings were absolutely out of the question. Yang Ping detested these things the most.

Back when Yang Ping had graduated with his master’s degree, ranking at the top, he could have stayed at the university-affiliated hospital. But in the end, his position was swapped out by someone else, and he had to go far away to the Nandu Provincial City to sit for contract worker exams at various hospitals, eventually securing a job at the City People’s Hospital.

Although Dean Xie and Wu Siwen were not decent people at the time, using the recruitment merely to fill labor gaps from a mass departure of doctors, Yang Ping still had affection for the City People’s Hospital because, after all, it was the first job he earned through an exam.
