A Hospital in Another World?-Chapter 779: Teacher, Please Retract the Paper for Revision!

Chapter 779: Teacher, Please Retract the Paper for Revision!

Successful defibrillation seemed to mean that Death had spared this old knight. Next, Garrett performed a CT scan, using a small snake to probe deep inside. He held up well, with no further incidents—

No myocardial infarction, no pulmonary embolism, no disseminated intravascular coagulation, no recurring arrhythmia...

Thank heavens.

For three hours, Garrett didn’t leave the old knight’s side. After three hours, the mobile tower spirit finally calculated the CT results. He had the mobile tower spirit display the images seen by the small snake, and, comparing them with the CT results, explained to the patient’s family:

"Your father’s recent sluggish response is due to a brain hemorrhage. Look, these scattered spots are vascular lesions deep in the brain, forming thrombi or microthrombi, leading to vascular occlusion."

"I’m not very skilled at treating brain lesions. Perhaps you could take your father to the School of Enchantment or seek out a mage from the medical branch?"

The two knights were immensely grateful, taking the images copied by Garrett with the crystal chip, and left with their father to seek further treatment elsewhere. Garrett let out a long breath and hurried to the Tower of Heaven:

"Teacher! My paper on direct current defibrillation! Can I retract it for now?"

"What’s the problem?"

The Lord of Thunder raised his head from the paper and adjusted his monocle. Behind the monocle, a playful glint flashed—

Garrett had spent nearly half a year on this paper, modifying it countless times before producing a final draft. He had just submitted it for review and hadn’t even found a place to publish it, and now he wanted to retract it?

Although the Lord of Thunder also wanted to withdraw this manuscript. Garrett, as a 7th-level mage, had been focused on mundane medical fields without any progress. How could that be?

In this world, ultimately, it is those with power who have the final say.

Garrett needed to prove that he had unique abilities in treating high-level transcendents, abilities that no one else could replace. Only then could he gain the respect of high-level powerhouses and establish his own independent status!

The Lord of Thunder had hinted at this issue once and didn’t want to repeat it. Fortunately, from Garrett’s words, it seemed he had figured it out himself:

"I haven’t supplemented the part on high-level transcendents..."

"Alright, take it." The Lord of Thunder casually tossed the paper back:

"Do you know how to proceed with your research next?"

Garrett was at a loss. How did those predecessors in basic research do it?

In his previous life, one could first conduct animal experiments, then human experiments. For animal experiments, they could directly perform electrical tests on animals similar in weight to humans. But now...

"I was thinking of finding a bunch of magical beasts weighing roughly the same as humans, from level 1 to 10—like stone-skinned pigs, wind sheep, or primal deer..."

He honestly reported to his teacher:

"Conduct ECG tests on them one by one, test myocardial currents, then try defibrillation. External defibrillation, open-chest defibrillation, going through the process should give me some clues..." ṘÁΝô₿Ë𝓢

Fortunately, the CT research project he had collaborated on with the medical branch and the necromancy school was still progressing. Getting a few magical beasts of levels 5 to 10 shouldn’t be difficult.

As for levels 1 to 4, they weren’t expensive, and he could buy them himself. After buying them, he could add them to the feast once the experiments were done?

The Lord of Thunder sighed silently. If it were the necromancy school conducting the research, they would undoubtedly catch a bunch of enemies or spies and electrocute them one by one;

If it were the medical branch, they would probably electrocute any patient they encountered, summarizing the appropriate energy after many attempts;

If it were the temple, they might directly pray to the gods and see if any divine revelations came down?

Only Garrett would think of catching a bunch of animals for experiments first. In his previous research, he also tried his hands on animals first, never using human subjects unless animal experiments succeeded.

However...

For other treatments, fine, but for issues related to lightning, why not seek answers from the Evocation School first?

"Go to the Thunder Horn library and read all the articles related to [Lightning Stun], [Electric Claw], [Ring of Shock], [Lightning Beam], and [Radiant Shield]." He suppressed his complaints and instructed his disciple:

"Especially those related to lightning damage. Then, consult your senior sister about her combat experiences using electric spells against transcendents!"

Garrett held the paper and fled. Oh no, the teacher was a bit angry; the electricity in his monocle was starting to flicker... Teacher, doesn’t the close-range electricity hurt your eyes?

Won’t it cause glaucoma?

He dutifully swiped his badge to enter the library, searching for information. Only then did he realize that Thunder Horn truly lived up to its name, having accumulated extensive experience in the use of electric magic—

"Using [Electric Claw] on a stone-skinned pig failed. The pig’s body was covered in resin and gravel, highly resistant to electric magic. If not for dodging in time, I nearly got gutted by its tusks..."

"[Electric Claw] on a level 4 wind fox succeeded with one strike. Unfortunately, the current was too strong, the wind fox was electrocuted from head to tail, and I couldn’t obtain a complete fur, wandering the forest for ten more days to hunt enough prey to pay off that debt..."

"Using [Ring of Shock] as a defensive spell in a battle with an iron-horned bull wasn’t a good idea... It got stunned by the electricity but still charged forward. If George hadn’t pulled me away, I would have been crushed to death!"

Apart from battles with magical beasts, there were also extensive records on fighting humans—warriors, knights, assassins, mages, clerics...

Different levels, different professions. Sneak attack magic of varying degrees, face-to-face combat magic, defensive magic under various conditions, full power magic against opponents...

Over the millennia, countless Evocation School mages, countless lightning magic researchers, had accumulated incredibly rich data. In notes, letters, papers...

Garrett spread his legs, leaning against a pillar, engrossed in the library’s contents. Each piece of data formed in his mind, supplementing one chart after another:

In short, transcendents in this world, especially combat professionals, have extremely powerful bodies and highly active functions. A warrior above the knight level, even if they stand still, would only get paralyzed by a level-1 electric claw;

Low-level mages have much weaker bodies compared to warriors. But at high levels, especially above level 10, their bodies, long soaked in elemental energy, have much greater resistance to the same element;

So, how to adjust the direct current defibrillation for warriors and mages below level 10... and above level 10...

Forget it, better ask senior sister for advice again!
