Chapter 1227: Family Academic Conference (Part 2)


Yang Ping said, "We can't yet say it's cured, but recent follow-up examinations have already confirmed that within the observable range, tumor cells have been completely cleared."

"The progress of this project is astounding," Professor Su said happily, feeling more joy from his juniors' achievements than his own.

Yang Ping continued, "We plan to simultaneously start Phase I and II clinical trials, and conduct them in China, the USA, and Europe, obtaining global patient data all at once."

Professor Su is aware of the difficulty in applying for Phase I and II clinical trials in Europe and America for a drug or a new treatment method, but didn't expect Yang Ping's application to go so smoothly.

However, at the European Spine Academic Conference, Professor Su also experienced Yang Ping's influence, because he is Yang Ping's father-in-law, and received extremely honorable treatment there.

Everyone chatted happily, when suddenly a pungent smell of urine wafted over, Lin Lan immediately realized the little one had peed, yet she was very pleased.

Because the previous three times she had changed diapers, they were clean; which could only be considered practice. Now in truly changing a soiled diaper, this was the real deal. Xiao Su walked over, "I'll change it."

"Let me, let me!" Lin Lan was afraid Xiao Su would take away her precious opportunity for hands-on experience.

In the evening, Yang Ping used pre-bedtime to enter the System Space.

He began testing the formula for biological bone cement within the System Space; these experiments were merely simple trial and error, thus consuming few points, with minimal use of various large devices. With the current points, he could fully support completing the quest for the optimal formulation.

In research, trial and error appears to be the simplest yet most arduous work, but it is the most important and unavoidable task, a necessary path of scientific inquiry.

Innovation inherently carries uncertainty, and where there is uncertainty, there will inevitably be errors or deviations; there is no other way, only trial and error can confirm whether it is right or wrong, whether there is deviation.

As long as there are enough points, the laboratory's robotic arm can be increased infinitely; Yang Ping calculated that he could activate experiments for a thousand formulations at once.

The process of experimentation is now relatively simple: Adjust the formula, conduct the experiment, collect data, and if unsuccessful, continue adjusting until a satisfactory formula is obtained.

Much of the time in scientific research is spent in trial and error. When you have a good idea, implement it immediately, and revise upon discovering inaccuracies. It's in this continuous process of trial and error that advancement occurs, ultimately leading to the shores of success.

Yang Ping never worries about how crude his beginnings might be, because later, through continuously adjusting directions, refining details, or even halting experiments to start anew, he can ultimately steer this ship to victory's shores.

The nature of original innovation necessitates undergoing significant trial and error; hence, original innovation will possess a wild nature.

Many major innovations arise from this wild mode, whereas the nursery mode, where everything is meticulously verified before proceeding, is fit for follow-up improvements, but not for original innovation.

Because anything new is inherently immature, laden with numerous defects, difficult to comprehend, with no existing standards for evaluation, thus various audits, assessments, and validations done for it are actually futile, ultimately forming resistance or stifling the bud of innovation.

The wild mode aligns most with the concept of free innovation; it seems simple and crude but is indeed of the highest efficiency and has the easiest path to success. Conversely, the nursery mode under cautious, strict orderly management aims for high-efficiency innovation, but often contradicts those intentions, resulting in the lowest efficacy and success rate.

It's like a plot of land, new and unknown seeds sprouting in wild soil; to find the tallest plant, the simplest method is the wild mode, allowing them to survive and perish of their own accord without intervention, evenly dispersing fertilizer and water resources on the land, and ultimately the tallest plant naturally becomes the desired one; it's a process of natural selection, most reliable.

Conversely, the nursery mode is different, involving a team of experienced gardeners to cultivate plants; their work is diligent and meticulous, regularly inspecting the land, cutting off the short-growing ones or withholding water and fertilizer, while prioritizing resources for those growing fast and tall.

If these seeds are known ones familiar to the gardeners, possibly due to their rich experience they could identify the best plant for focused cultivation, but these are all new, unknown seeds; those growing slowly at first may yet become the tallest later, those growing tall initially may ultimately be the shortest, everything is uncertain.

Their accumulated gardening experience actually doesn't help; their interference is more often counterproductive. Through their diligent work, the future tallest plant may have long been cut off.

One is natural selection, the other artificial selection, but a gardener's choice, no matter how experienced, can never compare to nature.

Yang Ping now serves as dean of the Medical Science Academy, managing over a dozen laboratories, never interfering in the technical aspects to audit these labs' research topics. His job is to enable the team to monitor and manage research funding, as long as every penny is spent on research, it's fine even if the projects seem absurd, because what seems absurd to you isn't truly absurd and the end-result isn't crucial; no one can guarantee an experiment's success.

Once technical evaluations and audits are added to these topics, it's easy for auditors to cut off true original innovation; unknowingly, the auditor's scientific judgment becomes the ceiling for all research topics. Auditing acts like a sieve; what the auditor can understand and accept passes, what they can't goes rejected, equating their personal capability to an invisible ceiling, directly dismissing any topics exceeding their understanding.

There's also a major issue: Once quantitative results requirements are added, the ultimate consequence isn't driving more results but fostering fraud.

Because innovation carries vast uncertainty and huge risk with a high failure rate, few seeds among many will germinate; if final results must be quantified, they might resort to fraud to secure future funding and prove their capabilities when successes aren't forthcoming.

Yang Ping's philosophy is simple: The dozen-plus laboratories are akin to seeds on the same land, given equal nurturing, allowed to grow freely.

If he begins evaluating these topics, his personal ability becomes others' ceiling, because he can make accurate judgments within his abilities, beyond that is difficult to judge accurately, potentially cutting off genius-level innovations.

In essence, invisible limitations can obscure talents surpassing him, perpetually blocking breakthroughs.

Proactive innovation is certainly the wild mode, enabling them to freely trial and error, while reactive innovation suits the nursery mode, having clear targets for reference, like seeds familiar to gardeners, easily judging which are best from growth trends and other factors.

Yang Ping now favors the wild mode, such that Sanbo Hospital initially adopted a wild mode approach towards him; Dean Xia and Director Han never intervened in his techniques but let him develop freely, allowing any legal pursuit with open green lights, unrestricted by audits or limitations.

It's due to this reason that he can grow wildly, allowing Yang Ping to develop freely to his present state.

Otherwise, in other hospitals, a small doctor like him handling various roles would be tightly constrained by rules to which he can't adhere freely.
