“It’s different. A heart transplant doesn’t involve the sympathetic nerve,” Su Yun replied.

His expression was rarely serious. Once he talked about a heart transplant, that professional aura and confidence came out of him.

“How much do you know about the detection of the nervous system?” Zheng Ren asked.

“I’ll ask my friends who are doing research.” Su Yun took out his phone and began to flip through the phone book.

Zheng Ren was very emotional. A sharp-tongued pretty boy like Su Yun actually had friends all over the world. When he had come to the Imperial Capital to participate in the prostate project, Fang Lin and Zhao Yunlong had heard the news and came over, pulling him to drink.

The little girl who knew the guy from in Sea City seemed to have a good relationship with him.

Now that he wanted to ask about the nervous system test, he could also pick up his phone and ask for advice.

Could it be that people nowadays liked sharp-tongued guys? Or was it that people with good looks were born to be loved by everyone?

But that was not important. Zheng Ren wanted to know what equipment could detect nerves and see if the System space had any for sale.

He could not buy it blindly. Experience points could be considered universal points. He could buy equipment and also buy time for surgical training. Such things were like money. Who would complain about having too much? Ever since he had gained access to the System, he did not seem to be interested in money. It could also be because there was a better method of equivalent exchange than money.

Zheng Ren fell into deep thought. His thoughts had already flown to nine days away.

Soon, Su Yun received the news.

“The neuro-current sensor, made in China, costs more than a hundred thousand yuan. The imported ones are even more expensive. Boss, why do you need this thing?” Su Yun felt strange and asked.

“For patients with renal artery stenosis, I always feel like I have to perform surgery to strip them, but nerves, you know, you can’t just randomly do it.” Zheng Ren sighed. At this point, no matter how much Su Yun asked, he did not continue to say anything.

If one say too much, you will lose. The ancient people who came up with it, and those who listened to them, were honest and wise.

As long as he gave Su Yun a thread, he would be able to find more things that he needed to explain. It was best not to talk about matters involving the System.

Su Yun was just a little strange. No matter what, he would never think of the System, and all the advantages that Zheng Ren gained because of it. He saw that Zheng Ren’s mood was a little strange. He guessed that the patient with renal artery stenosis had not had a breakthrough, so he comforted Zheng Ren a few words and went to rest.

Returning to the System space, Zheng Ren opened the System shop’s panel and looked through the contents one by one.

Nerve current sensors… This kind of thing was usually used by people doing basic research, and was basically not used by surgeons.

After searching for 20 minutes, Zheng Ren found that there were indeed medical nerve current sensors in the System shop, located in a very low position.

200,000 experience points…

Seeing this price, Zheng Ren almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

A day of surgical training time was 86,400 experience points, and a neuro-current sensor was actually worth more than two days of surgical training time.

Really… F*cking hell.

Zheng Ren hesitated for a long time with hatred, but in the end, he still chose to buy it. After all, this was considered an investment, and he was looking forward to a greater output. Moreover, Zheng Ren was also very curious about the side effect of radio frequency ablation, which caused blood vessels and nerves to adhere together.

A small black thing that looked especially textured appeared in front of Zheng Ren. Zheng Ren did not appreciate the black-colored technology of the System at all. He looked at the surgery training time that was suddenly gone, and his heart felt stifled.

Along with the neuroelectric current sensor landing in Zheng Ren’s hands, there was also a usage guide.

Zheng Ren read through the manual and felt a little emotional about how difficult it was to do basic research. However, he did not have the mood to think too much about it now. After spending so much money, the first thing he had to face was the lack of time for surgical training.

It was better to do more missions. Ignoring the mission reward seemed to be wrong. Zheng Ren corrected some of his behavioral errors and returned to the operating theater to start another operation.

Simulation Mannequin — the experimental subject — was still lying on his side. He peeled off layer by layer and saw the narrow part of the renal artery. Zheng Ren carefully separated the renal sympathetic nerves that had fused with the blood vessels. His technique was delicate and gentle, and he performed at 120% of his normal level.

After he had freed a corner, Zheng Ren connected the circuit of the nerve current sensor.

According to the instructions, Zheng Ren adjusted the current and did electrical stimulation on the renal sympathetic nerves.

However, Zheng Ren was dumbfounded.

The simulation mannequin was stimulated by a weak biological electric current, but the experimental subject did not respond at all.

Was the System down or broken? As soon as this thought appeared, Zheng Ren rejected it.

Impossible!

If it was not for this reason, could it be… Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment and began to carefully observe the direction of the renal sympathetic nerve.

The simulation mannequin’s life and death were no longer important.

This surgery was bound to fail. There was a problem with the previous local dissection. Zheng Ren quickly recognized this point.

As expected, Zheng Ren’s surgery speed increased. The simulation mannequin’s blood pressure increased due to stimulation of the renal sympathetic nerves. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred and it died immediately.

Zheng Ren continued to perform the local dissection. Starting from the beginning of the renal sympathetic nerves, he searched bit by bit and there was not any retrograde. This was more troublesome. The scope of dissection needed to be larger, and the danger would increase exponentially.

However, Zheng Ren had no choice.

Operating under a microscope 20 times was very tiring. However, Zheng Ren did not dare to blink his eyes, afraid that he would miss something.

After a long time, he finished the dissection of the renal sympathetic nerve.

It turned out that everything before was wrong!

The fused segment of the renal artery and the renal sympathetic nerve looked like a nerve, but it was not! It was a piece of connective tissue. However, it looked thick and bulky. If it followed the shape of the renal sympathetic nerve, it would be easily mistaken for the renal sympathetic nerve segment.

The real renal sympathetic nerve was buried underneath and almost fused with the adventitia of the blood vessels.

Zheng Ren heaved a long sigh. The difficulty of the surgery was further increased. However, this was not important. Since he had found the reason for his repeated failures, what he needed to do next was simple.

After all, the level of the surgery was there. Once he found the problem, there was nothing special about it. He just needed to do it step by step.

Zheng Ren began a new surgery.

Simulation mannequin was cut open so he could find the narrow segment of the renal artery. The position that was previously thought to be the renal sympathetic nerve was directly severed. The experimental body did not react at all.

After layers of connective tissue less than 1mm in diameter were blunt dissection, Zheng Ren finally saw where the renal sympathetic nerve was located.

Under a 20x microscope, all the operations would be magnified. He held his breath and focused his mind. Bit by bit, the renal sympathetic nerve was detached.

This time, the experimental subject, the simulation mannequin did not die. Its condition did not change much.

Looking at the detached sympathetic nerve, Zheng Ren knew that this surgery was basically a success!

Next was the interventional surgery.

Puncture, super selection, and stent insertion.

When the stent was opened, Zheng Ren’s heart seemed to have stopped beating.

The simulation mannequin was connected to the experimental body. The number displayed on the ECG monitor was very stable and did not fluctuate much.

As the stent was completely opened, the experimental body did not show the number of deaths after a certain period of time.

Zheng Ren did not celebrate. Instead, he began to irrigate and close the abdomen.

After finishing the last stitch, he looked up.
