Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1054 - 1017: Beer Belly

The Phoenix Family Farm offers several greenhouses for picking activities, where a dozen varieties of common vegetables and some fruits are planted for guests to pick and experience the work of a farm.The young men and women from Binhai City, holding bamboo baskets with great interest, entered the picking garden in groups to find the vegetables and fruits they wanted to eat.

Lin Jie came out of the strawberry patch and walked towards An Kexin, who was with Yao Henan.

The soil in the picking garden was soft, making it easy for the less mobile Yao Henan to trip and fall.

For Yao Henan's not yet fully recovered bones, a fall could potentially cause unforeseen serious consequences.

Therefore, she could only stay outside.

And because An Kexin's high heels were pointed and thin, they weren't suitable for the fields either, so she stayed outside with Yao Henan.

Lin Jie raised the bamboo basket in his hand to show them the fruits of his labor.

The basket was filled with bright red, freshly washed strawberries.

He even deliberately took out a strawberry still glistening with water droplets, handed it to An Kexin, and said with a smile, "This is the heart-shaped strawberry that Miaomiao proudly showed off to me, and I snatched it away."

"Doesn't it look like one?"

An Kexin took it and said with a smile, "It really does!"

Finishing the sentence, she popped the strawberry into her mouth and said with a smile, "Sweet, sweet to the heart."

About twenty meters away from here, there was a leisure rest area with swings, stone mills, and seats with parasols.

Lin Jie pointed there and suggested, "Let's go to the rest area over there to sit for a while, and taste these strawberries."

An Kexin and Yao Henan had no objections and followed Lin Jie to the outdoor rest area.

Lin Jie put away a parasol.

The three sat on chairs covered with thick fresh straw mats, basking in the warm sunshine, and started eating strawberries.

Lin Jie tasted one and nodded, "It's okay, although it's not very sweet, it does have a strawberry flavor."

An Kexin laughed and said, "Then tell me, what does a strawberry without a strawberry flavor taste like?"

Lin Jie didn't respond to her and just kept eating one strawberry after another.

Following Lin Jie's pace, Yao Henan also unconsciously accelerated.

By the time An Kexin reacted, more than half of the strawberries in the basket were gone.

She quickly reached out with both hands to cover the basket and exclaimed, "How can you eat like this?"

"It's like you haven't eaten for days. Eat slowly, we'll be having lunch in an hour, and it's not suitable to eat too much anyway."

Lin Jie leaned back on the chair, struck a lazy pose, squinted at the sun, and said, "I'm done eating, you and Nannan can take your time."

"This season, sunbathing is really comfortable, so warm."

In just a little while, Lin Jie's posture became quite unseemly, like the famous Ge You slouch, lacking any demeanor befitting a world-renowned doctor.

This made many passersby unable to resist sneaking a few glances at him.

An Kexin wanted to say something to him, but held back after opening her mouth.

However, after eating a few strawberries in silence, she couldn't help herself and kicked Lin Jie's leg, "Hey, A-Jie, let me ask you, why do you think Chairman Cai so enthusiastically supports the intelligent medical research project?"

"He mentioned investing five hundred million right at the outset."

"Doesn't he treat money as money?"

Lin Jie straightened up a bit and spoke softly, "Intelligent medical is a major trend in the development of medicine."

"Chairman Cai is certainly aware of this."

"I guess, like me, he's a visionary and idealistic person, eager to develop in this area but hasn't found the right opportunity yet?"

An Kexin still seemed confused and asked, "Since it's a future trend, why is it so ignored in our country?"

Lin Jie sat up straight, thought for a moment, and analyzed, "You can't say it's entirely ignored."

"It's just that, in the field of medicine, our country is already far behind developed countries, especially in cutting-edge medical technology and research. We're even further behind."

"For example, in the area of intelligent medicine, countries abroad already have relatively mature intelligent surgical robots capable of performing routine surgeries on patients, and they've been put into practical use in many hospitals."

"I guess when domestic medical research institutions see this huge gap, it seems like an endless pit to invest in it, so they'd rather directly purchase foreign research results than start researching from scratch step by step."

Lin Jie sighed, "Think about chips. If we don't have our own core technology, we'll always be at the mercy of foreigners."

"At critical moments, we'll just have to be obediently manipulated by foreigners."

"Uncle..."

Yao Henan suddenly spoke, "Isn't it unnecessary to worry too much about foreigners holding us back in intelligent medicine?"

"We may not have intelligent systems, but we still have doctors, so it shouldn't affect patient treatment, right?"

Lin Jie smiled, tapped Yao Henan's nose, and said with a smile, "Currently, intelligent medicine is not as reliable as experienced doctors. But, little Nannan, don't forget, technology is continuously advancing."

"Perhaps, in the near future, technology will achieve significant breakthroughs, enabling micron-scale precision surgeries, and even gene-level modification surgeries."

"Such precision surgeries are definitely beyond doctors' capabilities, but machines might be able to do them."

"If we don't catch up now and haven't accumulated enough technology, how can we expect to overtake on a curve when it's time for technology upgrades?"
