Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 636 Not a Good Time to Come

Luo Di was also startled. After glancing at Nangong, he turned back to look at Xiao Yifei, just about to say something when Nangong’s voice, full of energy, rang out.

"It’s only because you said you had something important to do today, so I didn’t notify you about today’s meeting."

Nangong raised his head to look at Xiao Yifei and continued, "However, it just so happens that you’re back now, so you might as well listen to this matter, as it’s quite significant for our research institute."

Upon hearing Nangong’s words, Xiao Yifei’s eyes immediately narrowed, showing great concern.

During his time at the research institute, Xiao Yifei had won over the others with his strength and had come to understand Nangong better. Misunderstandings that Xiao Yifei once had about Nangong, when Nangong Yun took him home, were now things Xiao Yifei could comprehend.

Nangong was somewhat stubborn and not ill-intentioned; most importantly, his dedication to academia was unwavering. Gradually, Xiao Yifei’s misunderstandings about Nangong had been resolved.

Familiar with Nangong, Xiao Yifei knew instantly from Nangong’s expression that the matter he was about to discuss was no small issue.

Not only Xiao Yifei, but everyone else in the laboratory also stopped their work upon seeing Nangong’s expression and solemnly turned to look at him.

"Professor Nangong, just tell us what’s happened."

Xiao Yifei squinted at Nangong, speaking indifferently.

After hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Nangong raised his head and scanned the research institute before speaking in a grave tone, "The information I’ve received is that an American research group is also working on the project we’ve been researching recently. Because of the enormous potential value arising from this project, whichever group overcomes this hurdle first will earn all the honors."

The moment Nangong’s words were spoken, the whole lab fell silent.

"No, Professor Nangong, you know that our project has been established for a long time!"

At this point, Luo Di looked up, somewhat puzzled, and said to Nangong, "Does that mean if they finish this project before us, all of our efforts will have been in vain?"

Hearing Luo Di’s words, a smile appeared on Nangong’s face, "Luo Di, you’re not an ignorant child anymore. Do I really need to explain anything about patents to you?"

Luo Di was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.

"It’s not too serious. I’m just informing you about this news so that you all feel a sense of urgency."

After speaking with Luo Di, Nangong raised his head and continued, "After all, although their progress was similar to ours a while ago, since Xiao Yifei joined our research group, our progress has far surpassed theirs."

"The main thing I want to talk about today is that soon a Japanese delegation is planning to visit our research institute for inspection and exchange."

When Nangong mentioned this matter, his voice suddenly grew heavy.

"A Japanese delegation?"

The moment Xiao Yifei heard this, his eyes narrowed, and not only he but also the other professors at the research institute instantly became solemn.

They were painfully aware that despite Huaxia’s recent significant advances in medicine, Huaxia’s medical standards were still appreciably behind Japan’s!

This became apparent when they learned that America was working on the same research project as them; their faces suddenly changed color.

Just now, upon hearing Nangong mention that America also had a small research group focusing on the same direction as theirs, all the other professors at the institute, except for Xiao Yifei, almost instantly changed their facial expressions.

Indeed, upon receiving the news from Nangong, they were immediately filled with panic. Although these professors and scholars might have a certain renown in Huaxia, internationally, they might really not count for much, especially compared to Western countries.

However, fortunately, they had Sun Li with them.

Even so, their hearts were still filled with urgency because they clearly knew that if they were to slack off even a little, the American research group would quickly catch up.

But now was not the time to think about those things.

Right now, their minds were completely occupied with what Nangong had said about a Japanese delegation coming to their research group soon for an inspection and exchange.

It is important to note that America, as a medical powerhouse, averaged a level higher than Huaxia, and although Japan was not as formidable as America, its medical strength was indeed not weak. To date, Huaxia had no Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, while in recent years, Japan had produced quite a few individuals with outstanding medical achievements.

This was the gap.

If one were to say which aspect of Huaxia’s medical field was internationally leading, it would probably only be the project that Nangong’s research group was working on, and even then, before the arrival of Xiao Yifei, it could only be said that they were on par with other countries. However, after Xiao Yifei joined, having solved several difficult problems, they could now proudly claim that their research group was indeed at an international leading level.

And during this sensitive period, the Japanese delegation’s sudden decision to visit Nangong’s institute in Huaxia for an exchange posed a complexity of thoughts in the minds of the professors at the institute.

"Professor Nangong, did they say when they’re coming?"

Following Nangong’s words, the quiet research center was finally broken by Zheng Dong’s voice.

Zheng Dong looked at Nangong and continued, "Why do they have to pick this time to come, just when our project is about to yield results?"

Zheng Dong’s words resonated with many in the laboratory, and upon hearing what he said, the professors all looked up at Nangong.

Xiao Yifei, from the beginning, showed some change in expression after hearing Nangong’s words but afterward, remained unchanged. Now, as Zheng Dong addressed Nangong, Xiao Yifei, sitting at his own place, had a flicker of inexplicable amusement in his eyes.

Unlike the other professors who were full of tension, Xiao Yifei, seated in his place, appeared calm and dignified. With a detached look in his eyes, he observed Zheng Dong and Nangong, evidently deep in thought about something.

"As for the specific date, if nothing unexpected happens, their plane is tomorrow."

Nangong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then continued speaking to Zheng Dong, "That’s why I hurriedly called you all here today, to inform you about this situation."

At this point, Nangong paused. He then added, "And I’ve also heard that Japan seems to be considering doing a project similar to ours."

Upon hearing Nangong’s words, Zheng Dong was taken aback, and his expression darkened as he squinted his eyes.

"Why does everyone want to get involved in our project now?"

Before Zheng Dong could speak, Fang Weiguo’s voice rang out. Looking at Nangong, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes, "If they’re planning to do the same project as us, what are they coming to our research institute for now?"
