Zhu Yanyi nodded and sat on the sofa nearby. "Senior Brother, you have internal energy now. One day, surgery will be very easy for you. But for others, it is not. Especially those who study Western medicine. They care more about data. So, the medical equipment in Beijing Hospital needs to improve."
"I want to improve it too," Gu Jingtian said with a helpless look. "Just like that CT machine you mentioned in the operating room. I really wish our hospital had one. But it is hard to get one now."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "So, I want to research a machine similar to a CT scanner. It should suit both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine."
"Cough, cough." Gu Jingtian coughed repeatedly. She was clearly shocked by Zhu Yanyi’s words. She looked at her with disbelief. "Little Junior Sister, what are you saying? You want to research a machine? I remember you are not in the physics department. How can you research such things?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. "I am not in the physics department, but I study science. When I reach the second year of high school, I will definitely choose the science track. Because I want to study medicine. Medicine belongs to the science track."
"Stop talking about science tracks. Just tell me about building the machine," Gu Jingtian said directly.
Zhu Yanyi kept a calm expression. "Senior Brother, medicine is science. CT is part of medicine. So, it is normal for me to research a CT machine. Besides, I said I want to create one suitable for both TCM and Western Medicine. It is different from current international CT machines. So, this theory is probably something only I can figure out."
"But that is a machine," Gu Jingtian said. His head felt dizzy. Was he getting old? Why couldn’t he keep up with his little junior sister’s thoughts?
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I know it is a machine. That is exactly why I want to research it. If there were no difficulty, why would I bother researching it?"
Gu Jingtian was stunned. So, she wanted to challenge herself because it was difficult? What kind of logic was that? Indeed, a genius’s mind was different from ordinary people.
Zhu Yanyi’s expression, as if saying, "If it weren’t a machine, I wouldn’t even research it," truly shocked Gu Jingtian.
"Do… do you know the principle of a CT machine?" Gu Jingtian finally asked.
"I know some. The basic principle of CT imaging uses an X-ray beam to scan a certain thickness of the body part. Detectors receive the X-rays passing through that layer. They turn into visible light, then into electrical signals via photoelectric converters. Then, digital converters turn them into digital signals for computer processing. So, we must also understand computer control very well."
Zhu Yanyi explained the simple principle seriously. "But of course, I won’t use this principle purely. I will probably combine machine principles with drug principles. I will use an essential solvent from our herbs. After taking it internally, it will combine with external light penetration to achieve better results. It should not harm the body. After all, current CT scans still cause some radiation damage. I need to research this carefully."
As she spoke, Zhu Yanyi muttered to herself. "But this is just my idea for now. For the details, I need to think more." She patted her head, as if trying to clear her thoughts.
