Chapter 153 The Artificial Limb
Ding Ning secretly considered that he should buy a house for himself. It was not a way to go around all day.
What’s more, Ling Yun’s house would soon be removed. Buying a house must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. But today, the house price made him realize that tens of millions were simply not big money. It seemed that he had to take the time to go to Fantastic Stones Shop to withdraw money and to pick up the pace of making money.
Ding Ning was not a stingy person but was also not broad-minded. Chu Yunxiu’s words that night irritated him very much. So he was gonna buy a house that could make her look at him with new eyes. He would be a landlord and hold his head high.
As he just sent Ye Huan and her younger sister to the hospital, the phone suddenly rang, "Hello, Ding Ning. Where are you?"
"I am in the hospital, what happened?" Ding Ning was very happy to get Xiao Nuo’s phone call. After all, there was a bit of unhappiness between them that day.
"We... Can we have a meet? I... I have something to tell you."
Xiao Nuo’s tone was a bit hesitant, which was quite different from her usual straightforward and agile style.
"No problem, what happened? Is there something wrong?"
"No. We can talk about it after we meet. I will send you the address."
"Okay!"
Forty minutes later, Ding Ning came to the Afternoon Sunshine Café according to the address sent by Xiao Nuo.
The café was like a glass greenhouse. The entire ceiling was made of glass. The warm sunlight got through, which gave people a lazy feeling.
"Here, what do you want to drink?"
Xiao Nuo stood up and beckoned to him to indicate the double booth she was in. She asked after Ding Ning had sat down.
"May I have a pot of Longjing Tea picked before Grain Rain?"
Ding Ning did not like to drink coffee and asked casually.
Xiao Nuo’s face became gloomy and rolled her eyes and said, "This is a café. How can you have Longjing Tea picked before Grain Rain?"
"Then a glass of boiled water," Ding Ning did not care and said.
"Waiter, a cup of lemon tea for him please."
After the waiter brought a cup of lemon tea, Xiao Nuo took a sip of the Blue Mountain coffee and said with flashed eyes, "Do you have time tomorrow night?"
"Why? What’s the matter?"
Ding Ning had to treat Shen Muqing every night and only had time after 8 or 9 o’clock. So he wanted to ask clearly.
"Go to a place with me tomorrow night."
Xiao Nuo avoided Ding Ning’s sight and said a bit unnaturally.
Ding Ning frowned and said, "I only have time after nine."
"Okay, I will contact you at nine o’clock tomorrow night."
Xiao Nuo promised straightforward and agilely.
"Well, you have to tell me where to go," Ding Ning asked confusedly.
"Someone is pursuing me. I don’t like him. But for some reason, I can’t offend him. So I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and let him drop the idea forever. Can you help me?"
There were a faint expectation and tension in Xiao Nuo’s beautiful eyes, which made Ding Ning softhearted, who was gonna draw a clear distinction with her, and said, "To be a shield, right? Alright, we were comrades."
Xiao Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Ding Ning refused her and was unwilling to pretend to be her boyfriend. Then she would lose her face greatly.
Although she was a bit deceiving him; in general, it was the truth. It was indeed that Dai Zhefeng was pursuing her. She just concealed the fact of the duel.
After they had appointed to contact tomorrow night, Ding Ning left first. He needed to go to Tianfu Company to cure Xiaoniu.
After Qian Yongjin had woken up, he only needed a period of recuperation to restore his health. Xiaoniu was then at ease. In particular, his comrades-in-arms, who were also disabled, had already come to register. He had already returned to Tianfu Company to take charge in specific recruitment.
Ding Ning had already discussed with him. It was impossible that these comrades-in-arms all joined Tianfu Company. After all, no matter how the company trusted him, he needed to take into account the company’s image. No boss would agree to recruit a group of disabled people to be security guards.
Therefore, Ding Ning decided to recruit these people into his own company. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, he will never go hungry. He wanted to help these disabled soldiers to heal, to help them to stand up again and then gave them a steady job and life.
This was also the first step in his plan to establish the "Caring for Disabled Soldiers Medical Foundation". First, he would have a try on Xiaoniu’s comrades-in-arms.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Ding Ning came to Tianfu Company. Xiaoniu had already stood in front of the security room at the gate and waited.
After Qian Yongjin’s incident, Xiaoniu’s adoration to Ding Ning’s medical skills had already reached a blindness level.
His three comrades-in-arms were anxiously waiting like him. After hearing Xiaoniu’s vividly description of Ding Ning’s magical medical skills, these temperamental guys did not fully believe, but they were full of expectations for Ding Ning.
After all, they had seen the video that he treated Wang Guoliang. They were full of respect for Ding Ning.
"Doctor Ding, you’ve finally come."
As Ding Ning just parked the car, Xiaoniu excitedly walked to him and passionately greeted.
"I thought we were friends. Don’t call me Doctor Ding. That’s too alienated."
Ding Ning finished parking and complained.
Xiaoniu naively smiled and said, "Then I will call you Brother Ning later."
"Don’t, I may be not older than you. I call you Xiaoniu. You can just call my name."
Ding Ning was willing to have this upright friend by heart.
"Alright, I will call your name in the future. Right, Ding Ning, three of my comrades-in-arms have already come."
"Go, take me to see them."
Ding Ning waved his hand and entered the security room under the excited guiding of Xiaoniu.
"These three are all my comrades-in-arms. Ding Ning, I will introduce them to you. He is called Wang Yang. This is Feng Jun. This is Gong Qiang."
Xiaoniu began to introduce as soon as they entered the house.
Ding Ning looked at them carefully. Wang Yang was a twenty-seven-year-old youth, with a buzzcut, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He looked extremely spiritual. But his left leg was the same as Xiaoniu, it seemed to be crippled.
Feng Jun and Ding Ning had almost the same age. He was thin, with a halve hair and a pale face. There was stubble on his chin. He looked withered, and his left arm was broken from the elbow.
Gong Qiang had a square face and spiky hair. He looked older, was at the age of 30. He was also injured in the leg and walked limping. But his body was burly and was similar tall with Ding Ning.
Although the three people were all disabled, the heroic posture of the soldier was still not smoothed by the bad life. Standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, their waists were always straight.
When they saw Ding Ning, the three men passionately shook hands with Ding Ning. Gong Qiang said brightly, "Doctor Ding, I have long since wanted to know you. But I have never had a chance. I didn’t expect that Xiaoniu knows you."
"Haha, Xiaoniu and I are friends. You and Xiaoniu are comrades-in-arms, so you are my friends. We are all brothers in the future. Don’t be hesitated to me. Don’t call me Doctor Ding, just directly call my name Ding Ning."
Ding Ning said from the heart. These three disabled soldiers were steely soldiers who were physically disabled but mentally not disabled. Their faces were resolute and steadfast. They were full of great spirit, which made people feel good at first glance.
Soldiers mostly liked upright guys and did not like hypocrisy. Seeing Ding Ning was so easy-going, they also put down restraint and soon got along well with him.
According to the age, Gong Qiang was twenty-nine years old. Wang Yang was twenty-seven years old. Xiaoniu was twenty-four years old. Feng Jun was the youngest, twenty-three years old. But all of them were older than Ding Ning.
In order to carry out the plan of "Caring for Disabled Soldiers Foundation", Ding Ning no longer concealed and directly started to treat them.
Except for Feng Jun, for whom he had no way to make his broken arm reborn. With Xiaoniu together, all three of them were disability caused by leg muscle atrophy and meridians broken.
In less than two hours, he healed the leg injury of Xiaoniu and the other two. The cost was that his superpower was once again sharply shrunk, and it was almost used up.
Looking at their legs which recovered as before, Gong Qiang and the other two were filled with tears due to the excitement. After retiring because of disability, they had been ridiculed much in the society in these years. At this moment, they had miraculously returned to normal. How could they not cry with joy?
Feng Jun was also sincerely happy for them. He dejectedly said with envy, "Unfortunately, I did not meet Brother Ding Ning earlier. Otherwise, I would not have to amputate."
Ding Ning said with a serious look, "Don’t be discouraged. I don’t have the ability to let you reborn your broken arm at present. But I can make an artificial limb for you. If you practice hard, I promise that it won’t be worse than the real hand."
"Really?" Feng Jun’s eyes were bright.
In fact, after the left arm was amputated, the impact on his life was not too great. His situation was much better than other comrades-in-arms. But his temper was irritable and he could not bear that some people had a prejudice against him. So he often fought with others and was finally dismissed from the original unit. So he came to Ninghai after receiving the call from Xiaoniu.
Originally, he did not care. But hearing Ding Ning’s words, he immediately had an interest. Who was unwilling to have healthy arms and legs, compared having a hand with without a hand.
"Of course, we are already brothers. I won’t lie to you."
Ding Ning pretended to be unhappy and said with a serious look.
"I believe, of course, I believe. Even if I don’t believe anyone, I must believe my brother."
Feng Jun had been long since convinced by Ding Ning’s magical medical skills. He scratched the back side of his head and said with a smirk.
As Ding Ning’s research on the genetic map was getting deeper and deeper, he already had a vague idea in his heart.
The human torso was brought by human beings at birth and was also affected by congenital genes. He could not make the broken arm reborn. But if he used the material closest to the human tissue to make the artificial limb, artificially made the meridians and strengthened the correspondence through continual practices, sooner or later, the artificial limb could also become the same torso as a real limb.
Of course, this kind of thinking was only theoretically feasible. Whether it was really feasible or not was still unknown. Did not say anything else, it was a very big problem to find a material that fit the human tissue.
The most ideal way was to find a person with the same blood type with Feng Jun to transplant his arm so that the success rate of transplant could reach more than 90%.
If he did that, what was the difference between him and that cruel and inhuman mysterious organization? So Ding Ning rejected that by heart.
However, since Ding Ning dared to say this, he naturally had absolute certainty. The thing which gave him confidence was the 9000-year-old ganoderma lucidum.
So far, no one could give an accurate answer that what kind of life form the ganoderma lucidum was. It was more classified as the fungus.
It was a large myxomycete complexus between eobiont and the fungus. Its structure was not composed of a single cell, but a polymer composed of bacteria, myxomycete, and fungus.
It could replicate itself by absorbing organic matter and humus. It contained the strongest bioactive constituents found so far. It had the most complete functional nutrient elements.
It was well known that the human body was composed of water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, cellulose, etc.
The medical silica gel was a macromolecule siloxane polymer. It was odorless, tasteless, non-toxic and had no side effects. The temperature could change with body temperature and stayed the same as the body temperature. There was no cold foreign body sensation. It was clinically widely used in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery.
The effect of ganoderma lucidum had changed qualitatively after the nine thousand years growth stage. The ability to absorb organic matter and humus for self-replication had been greatly enhanced, thus, it would replace the metabolism of human cells and made the artificial limb be full of activity.
