NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 139
Chapter 140
After waiting for about two minutes, the female reporter Xiaoice finally appeared in Jinrui Hospital.
The originally wide conference room was transformed into a press conference site, and Director Zhou was wearing a white coat, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, sitting in the center of the press conference.
“Journalist friends, if you have any questions, you can just ask them.”
“Of course, the premise is related to the theme of our conference.”
Seeing that the reporters came to the scene of the press conference one after another, Director Zhou couldn’t help but be a little nervous.
This press conference is broadcast live to all the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and the live broadcast effect will directly determine the number of applicants for the first phase of clinical trials!
“Guys, let’s get started.”
Dr. Zhou’s eyes instantly became serious.
“Dr. Zhou, I want to ask, is this artificial mechanical kidney developed by the doctor of your Jinrui Hospital?”
A reporter dressed in black was the first to stand up and ask.
“It’s not.”
Dr. Zhou’s young figure appeared in Lu Yu’s mind, and he immediately shook his head.
Artificial mechanical kidneys do have their share of contribution, but the real main developer is still Lu Yu alone!
“Ahhh!!”
“Wasn’t it developed by your Jinrui Hospital?”
Hearing Dr. Zhou’s answer, many reporters present were shocked, and even Lao Wang off the screen was slightly shocked.
Since it is a phase I clinical trial launched by Jinrui Hospital, the developer should be Jinrui Hospital!
How…… Not yet?!
“Then can you reveal the identity of the developer?”
After calming down the shock in his heart in a very short time, the black-clothed reporter asked after him.
“I’m sorry, we can’t reveal it.”
Dr. Zhou’s tone was resolute, and he shook his head slightly: ”
But I can assure you that the medical technology of the developer will definitely not be inferior to any of our doctors or researchers!”
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Yu is a state-level secret figure, even Dr. Zhou, absolutely cannot reveal any information related to Lu Yu to these media.
“Can’t even reveal your identity?”
Dr. Zhou’s answer caused another uproar among the reporters present.
Even the identity of the developer is not known, how can they be sure that this mechanical artificial kidney is safe?
Moreover, what level of figure can research such a cross-century level technology?!
For a moment, everyone present couldn’t help but start thinking about it in their hearts.
“Director Zhou, may I ask, has the technology you mentioned been applied in practice before? Or does it only exist in theory?
At this time, the reporter dressed in red Xiaoice, stood up and asked.
“Good question!”
Dr. Zhou smiled slightly and said, ”
Although we have not yet launched large-scale clinical trials, we already have the first beneficiary of this technology, and this beneficiary’s condition at that time was definitely more serious than most uremia patients.”
“Although we can’t reveal his identity to you.”
“However, this beneficiary is currently in good health and will be able to be discharged from the hospital soon!”
Xiaoice smiled:
“Okay, thanks.”
This time, these reporters were not surprised, after all, the privacy of patients is indeed a matter that large hospitals should worry about.
“Do you have any questions?”
“Doctor Zhou, can I ask you a few more questions?”
“Please say.”
Dr. Zhou made a “no refusal” gesture.
The beautiful reporter Xiaoice stood up again and asked, “Doctor Zhou, I noticed that the mechanical artificial kidney you proposed mainly uses electrical energy.
“May I ask, does this mechanical artificial kidney need to be charged in real time?”
“Moreover, this high-level technology should be expensive, is it covered by our health insurance?”
She asked two questions in a series.
The fellow journalists present, as well as the audience off the screen, couldn’t help but look sideways.
These two questions are asked on the blade!
If this mechanical artificial kidney needs to be charged in real time, wouldn’t it be possible to carry a charger with you after the transplant and connect yourself to the plug?
If that’s the case, it’s not much more convenient than dialysis!
Moreover, this kind of technology, which they have never heard of before, the price will most likely be high.
If the price positioning is too high, ordinary people can’t afford to consume at all, then there are too few people who can really help!
Lao Wang outside the screen couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of spit nervously, holding his breath, ready to listen to Dr. Zhou’s answer.
“This reporter, don’t worry, we will answer your questions one by one.”
Dr. Zhou took a sip of water and said with a smile: “First of all, the first question you asked, our mechanical artificial kidney, the main energy used is indeed electricity.
“However, when the developer was researching, he took into account the inconvenience of portable charging, so he intimately integrated the mechanical artificial kidney with radio charging technology, and only a matching remote charging instrument was installed in front of the window, and the power could be fully charged in one night.”
“And a full charge, can be used for more than three days, so the problem of convenience, don’t worry!”
Wireless charging technology?
Hearing Dr. Zhou’s answer, many reporters present lit up their eyes!
Yes, wireless remote charging, wouldn’t it be much more convenient, and only need to sleep to fully charge, daily life, I am afraid will not be affected.
This is much more cost-effective than spending a lot of money and dialysis every day!
But there are still some audiences, not very optimistic about this technology, and the barrage has been brushing:
“It’s all scattered, then the price of NB’s technology must be high to the sky!”
“Yes, I sold myself, I guess I can’t reach it, right?”
The
old king in front of the screen couldn’t help but sigh, his eyes were a little pessimistic.
Although the money he returned to the new house was about two million, most of it was divided among his wife, so that she could give his future son a better space for growth.
And himself, only left less than a million, for treatment.
Five years of dialysis treatment, plus three years ago, a large amount of money was cheated out by a second-tier trafficker in Southeast Asia, and now the remaining money on hand is less than 100,000.
This little money… Is it really enough?
Just when Lao Wang’s mood became more and more pessimistic, Dr. Zhou’s voice sounded again in the live broadcast:
“As for the second point you asked, the price question, I can also give you an accurate answer in this regard.”
“Our artificial mechanical kidneys will be completely free of charge in the first clinical phase, and the government will pay for you.”
“What about after Phase 1?”
A reporter pressed.
Dr. Zhou was not in a hurry, and said with a faint smile:
“After the first clinical phase, the current price of artificial mechanical kidney transplantation is 12,000 yuan, I believe this price should be acceptable to most people in the Dragon Kingdom, right?”
Twelve thousand yuan?!
All the reporters were stupid, and Lao Wang in front of the screen couldn’t help but button his ears, wondering if he had auditory hallucinations.
For such a cross-era technology, the transplant cost only needs 12,000 yuan? Not ten million, not a million, not a hundred thousand, but ten thousand ?!
It’s incredible!
Before Lao Wang could recover from the shock, Dr. Zhou’s warm voice sounded again:
“And!”
“Our project researcher is very selfless, he used his patent prize money to establish a medical fund, if patients who cannot afford even 12,000 yuan, they can list their conditions in a statement and send it to the fund management office.”
“After the review is passed, the treatment fee will be greatly reduced, so that everyone can be treated with peace of mind!”
The smile on Dr. Zhou’s face became warmer:
“Our goal is to make every kidney disease patient in the Dragon Kingdom no longer suffer from kidney disease!”
Speaking of this, the emotions in his eyes became a little complicated, and Lu Yu’s warm figure once again appeared in his mind.
What a selfless young man?
“This… This is great! After
hearing Dr. Zhou’s words clearly, the eyes of many kidney patients in front of the screen showed a touch of heat!
Suffering from illness, they finally saw the light of day!
“Lao Wang, how about it, go try it?”
Lao Wang’s mobile phone rang again, and the person who sent the message was Lao Ding.
“Go, of course go!”
Lao Wang’s tired body seemed to have been injected with energy, and he jumped up directly from the bed!
He clenched his fists and said excitedly: “It’s a big deal to die, is it worse, can it be worse than now?”
“I’ll sign up now and apply for a spot in the first phase of the pilot!”
Although, replacing the organs of the body with mechanical parts may sound a little scary.
However, Lao Wang knew that this was most likely his last hope for healing, and no matter what, he had to gamble on it!
Similar occurrence occurs in many families with kidney disease.
Patients who were close to despair finally had a new dawn in their lives, bright enough, but hopeful enough.
Professor Longke University’s dormitory
: “Phew, the prototype is almost like this, the specific optimization will wait for a day or two.”
Lu Yu took a deep breath and slowly put down the pen in his hand.
The notebook in front of him is full of tunes and lyrics, which is his demo version, and it is still some time before it is completely completed.
“I’m exhausted after sitting for so long.”
Lu Yugang wanted to stand up and move his muscles, only to hear the phone ring again.
“Eh, is there anything else going on with Elder Zhong?”
