Tuesday morning, today responsible for taking care of the experiment monkeys, Xiao Ganghao, carrying a big bag of fruits, arrived at the top floor of the comprehensive experimental building.

Entering the laboratory, he found that Guo Peng, Gao Yanhong, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, and Zhao Fang were all there.

Seeing the large pile of dried fruits and nuts on the table beside him, Xiao Ganghao silently placed the fruits he was carrying on the table, and then stood together with Guo Peng and Zhao Fang, quietly watching the monkeys in the cage eating nonstop, very happily.

After a long silence, Zhao Fang suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, will they feel pain at that time?"

Xiao Ganghao shook his head, saying softly, "No, they will be deeply anesthetized when their lives end, they won't feel any pain, rest assured, the teacher won't be that cruel."

This answer made Zhao Fang feel a bit better.

However, Guo Peng voiced, "Think about the surgical experiments the teacher has arranged for us, it's outright dissecting them, tearing them to pieces."

"Just thinking about my poor Little Gray facing such fate, I just... I just..."

"Ouch..."

Guo Peng suddenly cried out, holding his foot, he jumped up, glaring at Gao Yanhong in anger, "Why did you step on my foot, and with such force?"

In a dismissive tone, Gao Yanhong said, "You're a grown man, a soldier, why are you being so sentimental? Look, you've made Ma Hongmin and Zhao Fang's eyes turn red."

Seeing Ma Hongmin and Zhao Fang both embarrassingly look away, Guo Peng awkwardly explained, "It's not sentiment, it's just having raised Little Gray for these months, spending time with it every day, you inevitably develop some feelings."

"Unlike you, a cold iron lump."

Gao Yanhong sneered, "I'm not an unfeeling cold iron lump, I just warned myself from the start, their fate was sealed from the moment they were born."

"As artificially raised experiment monkeys, they're destined to give their lives for a certain medical test."

"I constantly remind myself to keep some distance from them."

She turned her gaze to the monkeys in the iron cage, speaking gently, "During this time, except for lacking freedom, they've been pampered with good food and drink, and now they're sacrificing for the noble medical cause, it's not a wasted life for a monkey."

Guo Peng couldn't help but tease, "If these monkeys could understand you, they would definitely retort with some choice words like MMP."

Annoyed, Gao Yanhong raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Guo Peng, you..."

"Alright, calm down everyone!"

Xiao Ganghao immediately reprimanded, seeing Guo Peng and Gao Yanhong both shut their mouths, he spoke in a serious tone, "The fate of these monkeys is already decided, what we can do is maximize their value, not let them die for nothing."

"Regarding the organ extraction and transplant surgeries the teacher mentioned, how is your preparation? This is a rare practice opportunity; don't be at a loss when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Guo Peng, Gao Yanhong, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, and Zhao Fang exchanged a few uneasy glances.

Eventually, Guo Peng scratched his head and asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, we're all still technically students."

"We've been in operating rooms before, but we've never led a complete surgery, only assisted with handling wounds and the like."

"We have no experience in major surgeries like organ transplants. We really don't understand why the teacher would arrange for us to perform such major surgeries? There's almost no chance of success."

"Can you tell me some reasons, Senior Brother?"

Xiao Ganghao hesitated for a moment, and awkwardly said, "Actually, I'm also not sure why the teacher didn't proceed gradually and suddenly had you practice such large surgeries."

He earnestly advised, "However, given the teacher's wide knowledge, there must be profound meaning behind such arrangements. Even if you don't understand, you need to prepare fully."

Zeng Yang nodded and replied, "Senior Brother Xiao, actually since last night, we've been watching educational videos on organ extraction and transplantation surgeries. Later, we'll also go to the video observation room of the Affiliated Hospital to continue learning."

"If possible, we'll consult with a few senior doctors with rich experience in transplant surgeries."

Zeng Yang gritted his teeth and said, "We'll strive to remember all the surgical steps, precautions, and key detail handling before operating ourselves tomorrow."

"It's just that the preparation time the teacher gave us is too short, otherwise..."

Just then, an extremely familiar voice sounded behind them, "Since you know time is tight, why are you standing here, not getting ready?"

The group froze for a moment, before they even turned around, they collectively greeted, "Good morning, teacher!"

After greeting, they turned around and spread out, subtly surrounding Lin Jie in the middle.

As the senior brother among the group present, Xiao Ganghao was the first to speak, "Teacher, they just came to have a look and give the experiment monkeys a thorough check."

"Is that so?"

Lin Jie glanced at the pile of fruits and nuts on the table and said, "I thought you all planned to stuff them to death."

Zhao Fang whispered, "These fruits weren't bought just by us, Senior Sister Fang, Senior Brother Song, Sister Lu, and everyone else contributed."

"Oh..."

Zhao Fang seemed like she discovered a new world, looking into Lin Jie's eyes and asked, "Teacher, your eyes are a bit red, are you reluctant to part with them too?"

Lin Jie snorted and explained, "My eyes are red because I didn't sleep well last night, stayed up."

Zhao Fang eagerly asked, "Teacher, did you not sleep well because you felt sorry for them?"

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Zhao Fang, you're really trying everything to tie these monkeys in, aren't you? You'd better give up, even if I do feel sorry for them, their fate can't be changed."

"Put away your overflowing sympathy, and get back to work!"

Zhao Fang responded with an "oh" and then gently tugged on the sleeves of Gao Yanhong and Ma Hongmin.

Except for Xiao Ganghao, the others tugged at each other, and swiftly exited the room.

Once Zhao Fang and the others' footsteps faded completely, Xiao Ganghao saw Lin Jie standing quietly in front of the iron cage, looking at the experimental monkeys inside, seeming somewhat lost.

He couldn't help but sigh internally: "The teacher acts as if he doesn't care about the experimental monkeys, but actually, he is still very reluctant."

"After all, his age and experiences are there, and he hasn't become as cold-hearted as an old doctor."

Actually, Xiao Ganghao misunderstood Lin Jie.

The reason he came here was purely to relax and seek some inspiration.

Last night, Lin Jie stared at the patient's cranial CT images for a long time, exploring this familiar yet unfamiliar cranial maze in every possible way, but couldn't find a path leading to the other side.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoxiao going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and seeing light in the study, Lin Jie would probably have pondered all night.

However, even after being forced to go back to the room to sleep, Lin Jie didn't sleep well at all.

When he woke up in the morning, he still had a foggy mind, and simply decided to come to the Medical College to clear his thoughts.

After a long silence, Lin Jie still hadn't moved his body.

Xiao Ganghao couldn't help but speak: "Teacher, may I ask you a question?"

This voice pulled Lin Jie out of the series of simulated surgical procedures in his mind.

He came to his senses and said, "Oh, what question do you have?"

"Teacher, you arranged for us to perform organ removal surgeries like gonad, partial intestine and liver, and spleen and kidney removal on the experimental monkeys. We can manage it with some temporary study."

Xiao Ganghao said in confusion: "But, you also asked us to transplant the removed parts of intestine, liver, and other organs back. This level of surgery is unusually difficult."

"For our capabilities, this is doomed to be a failed surgery."

"Teacher, you..."

Lin Jie retorted: "You want to know why I arranged practices that are far beyond your level, right?"

Xiao Ganghao earnestly said: "Yes, teacher! Learning surgery should go from small surgeries step by step, right? The leap is too big for us to adapt."

Lin Jie turned to look at him and seriously said: "The reason is simple, when there's an opportunity to practice, you shouldn't waste it. By practicing once like this, you will gain something more or less, which is better than losing this opportunity in vain."

Xiao Ganghao was dumbfounded.

The reason was actually that simple, not wasting opportunities?

This reason was as straightforward and direct as "take the advantage if it's there," he thought Lin Jie would give a lengthy explanation...

Lin Jie stayed in the laboratory for nearly two hours.

He casually did a body check on the experimental monkeys and ate a few bananas, but he still didn't get any inspiration for solving the maze.

On the way to the general office building, Lin Jie was still pondering over this matter.

"If I got lost in the maze, what would I do?"

"Find a reference point!"

"What in the brain could serve as a reference point, clearly indicating the position of various functional tissues after changes?"

As he thought about it, Lin Jie suddenly halted.

He thought of a reference point!

Blood vessels!

The brain has a complex, highly dense arterial and venous vascular system.

The brain makes slight movements, and the blood vessels follow suit. However, the relative position between the vascular system and the functional tissues it nourishes remains unchanged.

Thinking of this, Lin Jie's eyes lit up, and he took out his phone to find Lu Kaicheng's number and dialed it.

Upon connecting, he eagerly said: "Lu Kaicheng, do me a favor, hire a healthy test subject and do an arteriovenous angiography of the brain. All expenses will be charged to my account."

"Which part?"

"All of it, I want a complete cerebral angiogram of this person."

"Also, I need the highest precision, try to capture all the blood vessels in the image..."
