Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 173 [It will inevitably become a new strong growth point for the company]

Xiao Yu came out from his desk and sat down on the sofa in the lounge area. Yun Shu came over with the documents he had just given him and sat down next to him.

At this time, Xiao Yu tilted his head to glance at Yun Shu and said, "Surgical robots are not a new concept. As early as the 20s, the emergence of laparoscopes opened up the era of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery has also been rated as one of the top 80 inventions that have changed human life."

"In the 21st century, surgical robots have emerged to overcome the shortcomings of laparoscopic technology and have gradually become the mainstream in the field of minimally invasive technology. Their development and clinical application are considered a revolution in the history of surgical development, heralding the arrival of the third generation of surgical operations."

"Now, with the application and development of 5G technology, surgical robots have evolved into the ability of 'clairvoyance' and 'remote access'. The doctor's operating platform and the patient's operating platform are completely separated. The doctor can remotely operate the operating platform, control the surgical process, and complete the operation."

At this point, Xiao Yu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although its development has made great progress, I am still not satisfied with the third generation of surgery. If the surgical robot I envisioned is developed, it will be able to fast-forward to the fifth generation of surgery."

"From now on, doctors no longer need to perform surgery remotely or perform the surgery themselves. The surgical robot can complete the entire surgery by itself, and do it better than experienced surgeons."

No matter how experienced and excellent the surgeon is, or how well the extreme vibration of the human hand is controlled, it cannot be as precise as that of mechanical equipment. In addition, it is impossible for human hands to reach certain "blind spots" in the affected area.

But surgical robots can do it, it’s nothing more than installing some delicate robotic arm components in a targeted manner.

Moreover, in terms of experience, a human surgeon cannot possibly compare with artificial intelligence. As long as the surgical robot's AI agent is fed with enough surgical data for learning, in theory, the surgical experience mastered by the surgical robot is the experience of all surgeons.

In the existing and established knowledge base, human surgeons are simply no match for surgical robots. Humans’ advantage is creating new surgical knowledge, while AI’s advantage is learning and mastering existing knowledge.

Yun Shu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Yu curiously and asked, "Is this related to your previous decision to enter the field of bioengineering single-organ cloning technology?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's right. If we succeed in single-organ cloning technology, the demand for surgical operations will increase dramatically. The existing resources of surgeons are totally insufficient. And my goal is to succeed in single-organ cloning technology so that the cost of transplant surgery can be reduced to a level that ordinary people can afford. Then the demand for surgical operations will increase exponentially."

"In order to cope with this situation, surgical robots are a must, otherwise the market supply and demand cannot be met. It is not easy to train a surgeon. If surgical robots are successful and the technical problems are solved, the production capacity can be directly increased and large-scale production can be carried out."

It may take more than ten years to train an excellent surgeon, but the average time it takes to fully manufacture a surgical robot on an industrial assembly line is only a matter of tens of minutes. It can even be shorter due to economies of scale. This means that it only takes tens of minutes to train an excellent surgeon in the field of clinical medicine. This efficiency is unimaginable.

Xiao Yu looked at Yun Shu and smiled, “Even if it is difficult to make a breakthrough in single-organ cloning technology, or even if there is no breakthrough, the surgical robot I want to develop will still have broad application prospects. Medical resources such as surgeons are still extremely scarce. The development of surgical robots can greatly free up medical resources for surgical operations and further reduce the current cost of surgical operations.”

Simply freeing the surgeon from the operating table is a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of clinical medicine, and it is no exaggeration to say that we are fast-forwarding directly to the fifth generation of surgery.

Finally, Yun Shu opened the materials and took a look before saying, "I'll say hello to the human resources department this afternoon. Do you have any other arrangements?"

After she finished speaking, she closed the materials and looked at Xiao Yu, who thought for a moment and said, "Also, arrange for someone to go to various major hospitals and talk to them. Your mission is to purchase data resources for various surgical operations. My request is very simple, the more the better. In short, the more data, the better."

Obviously, purchasing this data is to feed the AI agent with learning. The richer the data and the larger the sample size, the better.

Theoretically, if we obtain surgical data resources from all hospitals around the world and use them to feed AI agents, within a few generations of technological iterations, this AI agent will become the most versatile surgeon in the world, with the richest surgical experience. Xiao Yu did not plan to collect data from the Blue Star world, because the situation was different. Unless the complete contemporary medical technology system of the Blue Star world was "moved" over, many data resources would be useless.

It is definitely unrealistic to "move" the entire contemporary medical system of the Blue Star world over. Xiao Yu only chose the smart medical operating table and modified it to adapt it to the technical system on Earth. This saves time and effort and can solve key needs. The rest can be done with the help of the existing medical technology system on Earth. This is already a leap across the ages.

Yun Shu nodded: "Yeah, okay."

After a while, she said uncertainly: "I just don't know if the hospital will provide us with this data."

Xiao Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, some surgeons may not want to pay, but they don't have the final say. The hospital can't be unwilling to pay. If they don't pay, it must be that we didn't pay enough. Besides, if this hospital doesn't pay, can all hospitals absolutely not pay?"

Yun Shu nodded slightly: "That's right."

For the current Lingjing technology, the problems that can be solved with money are all minor problems that are harmless.

After the instructions were given, Yun Shu went to make arrangements.

Xiao Yu began to promote this matter in the next few days. As a result, Lingjing Technology's robotics and automation department became more important and its status in the company's major business departments also rose rapidly.

There is no doubt that once the surgical robot or intelligent medical operating table comes out, it will inevitably be a new strong growth point for Lingjing Technology.

The company's actions were also very efficient. After all, it was Xiao Yu who was in charge.

A few days later, Lingjing Technology's new external recruitment information attracted the attention of the industry. It was discovered that the company's latest recruitment information was recruiting a large number of talents with medical device backgrounds.

This has caused a lot of speculation outside that Lingjing Technology may be entering the medical field.

Later, some other applicants revealed that the robotics and automation equipment business department of Lingjing Technology Company was recruiting talents with a background in medical devices. The outside world immediately speculated that Xiao Yu was looking for something like a medical robot?
Since the company has not released any official announcement, the outside world can only speculate based on some scattered information.

However, given that Xiao Yu likes to cross borders and even works in the food processing and grain trading industries, not many people would be surprised if he really started working on medical devices or medical robots. Instead, people are looking forward to whether Xiao Yu can come up with something new.

After all, the company's innovation ability, or Xiao Yu's innovation ability, is now obvious to all.
