Upon hearing that the official approval from the National Medical Product Administration would soon be granted, Xu Dongcheng was overjoyed. He enthusiastically questioned Director Bai Liwei about when the 3D biological printer could start printing biological tissues and organs.
Ding Yue felt he must express his sincere thanks to Professor Yang Kaining this time, so he approached him.
If Professor Yang hadn’t provided the cell material technology for biological tissues this time, it might have taken the Medical School of Mist City Arts and Science University one or two years, even two to three years, to print biological tissues and organs with a 3D biological printer.
Professor Yang acknowledged Ding Yue with a nod.
"We were able to get the experimental results so quickly this time thanks to you, Professor Yang." Ding Yue, stepping forward, grasped Professor Yang’s hand and said excitedly.
Professor Yang Kaining was modest and did not claim credit, saying, "Principal Ding, your school’s 3D biological printer technology is the core. I merely provided the ’biological ink’."
The ’biological ink’ Professor Yang Kaining mentioned referred to the cell materials of biological tissues, colloquially called "biological ink" because it is used in the 3D biological printer.
"The biomedical engineering content this time is rather complex, shall we go to the conference room to discuss the experimental results in detail?"
Having observed the laboratory situation, Ding Yue suggested they head to the conference room to hear more detailed research information.
To research the matter of the potential relation between the 3D biological printer and the illness of Principal Xu Dongcheng’s daughter, Xu Meijia.
This is a very important issue.
Professor Yang Kaining nodded, and he and Principal Ding set off towards the exit of the laboratory.
Director Bai Liwei and Principal Xu Dongcheng and others promptly followed, and the faculty and students of the Medical School of Mist City Arts and Science University started preparing for the meeting in the conference room.
This includes Professor Yang Kaining’s five doctoral students.
After leaving the laboratory and on their way to the conference room, Gu Yong and Lu Qingyan decided to discuss their earlier suspicions with Principal Ding before entering the conference room.
Thus, Gu Yong called out to Principal Ding.
Upon hearing his name, Principal Ding instructed Professor Yang Kaining to enter the conference room first and then turned to Gu Yong and asked, "Gu Yong, what is it?"
He had a rather strong impression of this student, Gu Yong.
He and Lu Qingyan were two of the top outstanding students of the Medical School at Mist City Arts and Science University. Their achievements in medicine were no less renowned than those of Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei in the field of mechanics.
Lu Qingyan was also present, standing next to Gu Yong.
"Principal Ding, there’s something..." Gu Yong didn’t know how to broach the subject with Principal Ding.
At this moment, Lu Qingyan was more direct, saying, "Principal Ding, can we have a word with you?"
Although Ding Yue was puzzled, he went aside with Gu Yong and Lu Qingyan, allowing the others to gradually enter the conference room.
"Principal Ding, aren’t you going in?" Xu Dongcheng, walking in, saw that Principal Ding had stepped aside and not entered the conference room, so he asked.
"Principal Xu, please go in first. I have something to discuss with the students," Ding Yue indicated.
Xu Dongcheng didn’t ask any further questions, and went straight into the conference room.
"Gu Yong, Lu Qingyan, what’s the matter?" Once everyone else was pretty much in the conference room, Ding Yue questioned Gu Yong and Lu Qingyan.
After considering for a bit, Lu Qingyan decided she should speak, "Principal Ding, Gu Yong and I have been questioned several times by Professor Yang’s students regarding the core technology of our school’s 3D biological printer. We suspect they might be aiming to gain information about our school’s 3D biological printer, could they?"
"So, what exactly did you notice?" Upon hearing this, Ding Yue frowned and asked.
Gu Yong nodded, saying, "Those five foreign doctoral students are indeed persistent. It’s evident that they want to understand something, at least on a somewhat deeper level."
Ding Yue gave a cold laugh and replied, "This is quite normal. As far as the world is concerned, probably only our Mist City Arts and Science University has the most mature 3D biological printer technology. However, every country in the world is researching it. They want to take this opportunity to find a breakthrough in 3D biological printer technology. I mentioned this before the biomedical engineering collaboration."
It seems that Ding Yue’s previous concerns were not unfounded. The doctoral students under Professor Yang Kaining, as expected, wanted to extract some useful information from Mist City Arts and Science University.
Fortunately, Ding Yue had previously instructed everyone in the laboratory team at the Medical School about confidentiality. It was unlikely there were any issues in that regard.
"During this experimental collaboration, did they learn more about our school’s 3D biological printer technology?"
Ding Yue turned to Gu Yong and Lu Qingyan and asked earnestly.
"Principal Ding, this is definitely not the case. Even for this aspect, Professor Yang didn’t inquire a lot. What Professor Yang understands at most is the integration content between his own biological tissue cell material technology and our school’s 3D biological printer technology."
Gu Yong responded with absolute certainty.
At the same time, Lu Qingyan nodded in agreement.
