Medical center.
Operating room 2.
Adam took the lead, and Dr. Burke served as an assistant. Without the assistance of any nurse or anesthesiologist, he operated on this patient who was infected with an unknown neurovirus in his blood.
Observation operating room on the second floor.
Richard, the director of surgery, who was awake, walked in slowly while inhaling oxygen while carrying the oxygen inhaler.
"Preston, Adam, how are you guys?"
The director of surgery, Richard, stared at Adam and the others, and reminded: "The isolation operating room is already being prepared, and the protective clothing is also called in the warehouse. If you can’t complete the operation, wrap the patient, stabilize her, and send it away. Go to isolate the operating room."
"Doctor Duncan?"
Dr. Burke looked at Adam.
This time, he was just an assistant, and he didn't know how long Adam's cool protective suit could last.
"Director, we can complete the operation."
Adam smiled and said, "Afterwards, before Dr. Burke's protective suit battery is used up, let him go out and replace him with someone to assist me."
"you sure?"
Surgery Director Richard worried: "This operation is more complicated than imagined, and various problems may be encountered during the process. It can't be done in an hour or two. How long can your set... last?"
"I am sure."
Adam explained while performing the operation: "My protective suit is designed in accordance with the standards of space suits, and combined with my personal physical and professional characteristics, and made targeted changes to suit my own use as much as possible.
For example, the two oxygen tanks in the life support system backpack of a general space suit can only provide 65 to 8 hours of oxygen.
But that was designed after considering the launch weight of the spacecraft, the duration of the space mission, and the weight of the astronauts free to wear.
My suit of protective clothing does not need to go to heaven, and I am also a little powerful.
Therefore, when this protective suit was ordered, it was designed in accordance with the maximization of the life support system.
The oxygen tanks of the backpack are all enlarged and doubled.
In theory, it can provide 72 hours of oxygen.
The beverage bags and fruit bars inside can also easily provide 72 hours of energy supply.
Therefore, as long as the operation does not last up to 72 hours, I can do it. "
"..."
When everyone heard Adam's explanation, they were silent.
For a while.
Richard, the director of surgery, took deep oxygen several times, and said quietly: "Dr. Duncan, if I remember correctly, the spacesuit itself is at least 120 kilograms or more.
This is the earth, which cannot reach the microgravity environment. This is more than 120 kilograms. Not to mention that you have to increase and double the treatment. Are you sure that wearing such heavy protective clothing can last so long? "
"Director, it's not as exaggerated as you think."
Adam smiled while performing the operation, "General space suits are very bloated. Look at my suit, they have been cut in a targeted manner. They are as dazzling as possible... as close as possible to make it easier for me to make them. surgery.
The weight itself has dropped a lot.
After all, my protective suit only needs to consider isolating the inside and outside to prevent virus infection. It does not need to be resistant to high and low temperature, anti-wear, anti-radiation, warmth, etc. like real space suits.
Even if the oxygen tank is doubled, the actual weight is 150 kg, and it’s no problem to wear it for 72 hours. "
"..."
The observation room on the second floor was now full of doctors who came to observe when they heard the news. Upon hearing this, the audience fell into a cold silence again, looking at each other, without knowing what to say.
It's not that they are uneducated.
It's just that there is nowhere to post it.
Just 150 kilograms?
No problem for 72 hours?
Is this still the physical strength of a normal person?
Everyone immediately thought of Adam's legendary physical strength.
Suddenly men and women were in tears.
The male doctor silently expressed envy and hatred.
The female doctor expressed this strength with tears in her eyes. They could do without this face and wealth.
Many people looked at Christina.
It turns out that for the previous super-giant tumor surgery, Adam really held up a mountain alone and resisted it easily for more than ten hours.
And you are fishing in troubled waters, it's pure trust!
Christina's face remained unchanged, and she calmly stared at the operation below, not caring about everyone's weird gazes.
I am not embarrassed, it is you who are embarrassed.
"Doctor Duncan, your protective suit is expensive, right?"
A young doctor couldn't help but speak.
"It's okay."
Adam smiled and said, "The main reason is that the cost of ordering is a bit expensive."
"A space suit is always worth millions of dollars, right?"
The young doctor asked.
"Ha ha."
Adam smiled without denying it.
The other doctors couldn't help looking at the questioning young doctor with weird eyes.
You really don’t know what is fake?
Several million is an astronomical number for ordinary people, even for ordinary doctors.
But for billionaires, it's just the price of a set of toys. What's all the fuss about.
And are you deliberate, do you have to say this thing to strike our fragile hearts?
"That's it."
The young doctor didn’t feel the eyes of his colleagues and murmured: “This is okay, the main reason is that the cost of ordering is expensive? That is to say, if this set comes down, I’m afraid it will cost ten million. Just in order to do not know when the unexpected situation will occur, make such a set, this..."
Adam didn't answer the conversation anymore, smiled and continued the operation.
It's really hard for him to continue.
Because the custom design really cost millions of dollars.
And he didn't just buy this set.
There is a compact surgical Duncan special protective suit, but would Adam abandon the general space protective suit?
There is no shortage of these millions, so naturally I bought a spare.
This is a dangerous mixed world of American TV dramas, and God knows when you need to use it.
And it's not just Adam's need.
Juno, as a doctor, and Karen as a nurse, worked in the hospital for a long time.
What if you don’t have a suitable protective suit if you encounter the virus crisis of today’s exposure and contagion?
And Adam believes that this kind of thing will never happen.
Therefore, when ordering before, Adam directly bought it by group, helping Juno and Karen to order compact surgical-type protective clothing specifically for them.
This set cost 20 million dollars.
Obviously, the money is very good value.
Even if it is not used at all in normal times, at this critical moment, it completely frees Adam from exposing himself to an unknown neurovirus infection, and can continue to treat diseases and save lives.
To know.
Although Mark Sloan is selfish, his reasons are okay.
Without this set of pre-prepared protective clothing, even if Adam feels that his physical fitness is sufficient to withstand the sequelae of the neurovirus, most of it must be carefully considered.
Say it again.
Why take risks if things can be solved with money?
