Chapter 2064
Strange's recovery shocked the entire hospital.
No doctor could resist this... they were desperate to understand what had happened to Strange.
In fact, they had been curious before why Strange, a wizard, didn't heal himself. After all, according to the settings in general fantasy works, wizards have many magical spells. Since magic exists now, healing magic is no longer a legend.
"What do you think the human body is? A chair? Can you just hit it with a hammer? You are all medical students, you should know that the human body is the most complex and sophisticated biological machine in the world. About 2000 billion red blood cells die every day, and 100 million nerve impulses travel through the body every second. After 600 million years of evolution, the human life system has become extremely complicated. A single-celled organism contains thousands of genes, and each gene has 31 billion base pairs. This huge and delicate complexity is incredible. You think that a small spell can change all this? What are you thinking?!!"
The human body is even more complex than magic.
This is a very counterintuitive common sense. At least the doctors were a little bit unbelieving at the time, but they soon accepted it... Other people might still have doubts, but doctors would not, because doctors know how complicated the human body is better than anyone else!
Have you ever thought that your body is actually a universe? Each of your cells is an independent planet. Each of your organs is a complex galaxy, composed of countless cell planets, working together to complete various life activities. Each of your systems is a vast star field, composed of multiple organ galaxies, interconnected to maintain the balance and stability of the body. There are endless mysteries and changes in your body. There are complex signal transmission and interactions between your cells, just like the complex gravity and mutual influence between matter in the universe. The human body is composed of about 100 trillion cells, which is more than a thousand times more than the number of planets in the Milky Way. In a person's lifetime, he will experience about 100 trillion cell divisions. If a person can live to be 100 years old, he will experience about 300 billion cell divisions every day, which is 3 million cell divisions per second. With such a huge number, if we look at it from the perspective of cells, the human body is like a vast universe. Let us use our imagination further and think of the Big Bang as the growth process of a fertilized egg. Over time, this fertilized egg has undergone countless divisions and growths and eventually became a baby. The universe is constantly expanding, which can also be understood as a growth process. Similarly, every cell in the human body is constantly growing and developing through division and growth. So, from this perspective, is the human body a compressed universe? Or is the universe an expanding human body?
Even now, there are still many unsolved mysteries about the human body.
At present, human beings still have limited understanding of the body, and there are still many unknown areas to explore. Although humans have made remarkable progress in the fields of medicine and biology, our understanding of the body is still limited. For example, the complex mechanisms and functions of the immune system are still not fully understood. Facing the challenges of external bacteria and internal gene mutations, the immune system protects the body through multi-layered defense mechanisms, but its specific working principles and details still need to be further studied. In addition, the occurrence and development mechanisms of diseases are not yet fully understood, and the specific causes and treatments of many diseases are still being explored.
And this is the result of countless doctors' research over the years... What about the mages? It is undeniable that they may have studied the mysteries of the human body earlier than modern doctors, but they also have their own huge limitations.
That is, they don't have a system.
Even if they study the human body, it is to serve magic. Not every magician will devote themselves to this industry. In fact, there are not many magicians who will truly study the mysteries of the human body, so they have not formed a system.
Modern medicine is supported by an entire system!
Personal efforts can never replace the system!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a magician to understand the human body better than a doctor!
Since there is no understanding, there is naturally no question of healing, so the medical capabilities of Kamar-Taj are really not as good as those of modern hospitals. Before, doctors have always been overshadowed by the glory of mages, thinking that mages are omnipotent. In fact, magic is indeed magical, but it is definitely not omnipotent.
But now Strange's sudden recovery made the doctor doubt this judgment.
You were on life support one second and recovered the next?
"Well..." Strange had some sense of boundaries. He knew Kai was not happy to reveal the dragon bone extract, so he didn't know how to say it for a moment. Spell? Then what did he say before?
Kai looked at it and said, "It was the artifact I brought from Asgard that helped him recover."
Nonsense, Kai is a professional!
Upon hearing this, all the doctors believed it.
Asgard is Kai's universal excuse. He can use it to cover up all the things that are difficult to say. Of course, this is not important. The main purpose of telling lies is to make people believe them. However, Asgard has such an advantage. As long as something is related to it, others will believe it without hesitation.
There is no way, Asgard is too magical, and at the same time it cannot be falsified!
No one could go to Asgard to ask whether what Kai said was true or not.
The existence of Asgard is no secret today. There are a lot of speculations and popular science about Asgard on the Internet, although few of them are reliable.
"Mr. Kai, is it really impossible for you to get some new technology from Asgard? For example, the ability to heal instantly. You know, these technologies can change the entire human society!"
A doctor couldn't help but ask.
Although Kai is not as friendly as Spider-Man, he is not too high and mighty. At least these doctors will not speak out in front of Tony Stark, no matter how friendly Tony is. In fact, Tony's friendliness is just his performance. The reality is that most doctors who appear in this ward will never be able to get within ten meters of Tony in their lifetime. This is the reality. On the contrary, although Kai has a tough personality, the doctors are not afraid of him.
After all, he is a policeman... How can a doctor be afraid of the police? Unless he has committed a crime.
So they don't feel too distant.
"Well... how should I put it? At least I don't recommend it. After all, Asgard's technology and ours are two completely different paths... you know, they even use magic, and it's hard to tell whether their technology is more technological or more magical. Tony once got some technology, but finally decided to give up promoting it. For us, that stuff may not be able to be replicated even if it's placed in the laboratory, let alone popularized."
Kai really didn't lie. Asgard's technology... how to put it, it has both metaphysics and technology, but they are integrated with each other and it is difficult to define them. At least Tony can't quite understand what is magic and what is technology. There is no way to learn this stuff at all.
For example, take Thor's hammer. Tell me, which part of this thing is considered technology?
When the others heard this, they gave up in disappointment.
After all, there was nothing wrong with what Kai said.
"Okay, everyone. The academic discussion ends here. I need to change my clothes. Also, thank you all for your care during this period." Strange rarely spoke human language.
At least the doctors and nurses looked at Strange in surprise.
"Hey! Stop looking at me like that. I still have manners!"
No wonder!
Everyone is saying this in their hearts.
But it must be said that Strange's words made them feel a little more comfortable. If it was according to Strange's previous habits, he would not bother to say such words. According to his Loki, I spent money to go to the hospital! Why should I say thank you!
No doubt about it, Strange could definitely do it before!
He would regard the doctors here as service personnel, even though he himself is also a doctor, because he is different from others and he is the most special one.
So to be honest, these medical staff even felt deep down that Strange had grown up a little... Very good, the naughty kid has learned to be polite!
Although he didn't understand why these people looked so relieved, Strange didn't try to find out.
He said to Kai, "Although I can keep it a secret, does that magical potion really need to be hidden like this?"
He waved his hand and changed his clothes with one click.
He didn't actually have to chase anyone away.
At this time, the people who went out also realized why Strange changed clothes and came out, but Kai was able to stay inside... Could it be that... Although Walmart shopping bags have not yet become genders in this time and space, gay rights have been done well, and everyone knows what homosexuality is.
So suspicion quickly arose.
You know, Strange came from England!
Yes, Strange is British, but he immigrated. This guy now speaks with a London accent.
So...right.
Neither Kai nor Strange had expected that people outside would slander him like this... Of course, even if they knew, it wouldn't matter, at most they would just give him a direct warning of homophobia!
"No, something like Strange cannot benefit mankind." Kai could probably understand Strange's thoughts.
Tony had similar thoughts at the time.
Doctors and scientists don't care about human nature. Deep down in their hearts, they all have a grand dream, such as changing the world and benefiting all mankind.
So when seeing dragon bone extract, the first reaction is to make it public, so that humans can overcome the problems of lifespan and all diseases.
"why?"
"Because it is very rare and non-renewable. Do you understand that?" Kai said.
This question reminds me of a song: Ask the heavens for another 500 years! I believe many people have this wish. They are not satisfied with a life span of less than 100 years. They want to live longer, or even live forever. Therefore, there are legends about immortality in many myths!
We need to understand that everything has two sides. If everyone can live to be over 500 years old, it may not be as good as we imagine. There are even many unexpected problems! That will be a problem faced by the entire human society. It is not just as easy as living to 500 years old. The rapid increase in average age will bring a series of problems like a chain reaction, such as human reproduction, elderly care, resource allocation, environmental protection and other aspects! So, if humans can live to 500 years old, and we don’t have the technology to fly away from the earth and colonize other planets at that time, it will be catastrophic. Various contradictions will be highlighted, especially the contradiction of resource allocation needs. The resources of the earth are far from meeting human needs!
not to mention……
"If this kind of limited information is made public, it will only become a privilege for a few people. Think about the old men who are now ruling the governments of various countries. Do you want them to stay in power forever?"
If dragon bone extract is really made public, it will only be a privilege for a few people!
There is no way, the world has always been ruled by a group of old people, both in ancient and modern times.
This group of people are also the ones who have the strongest demand for immortality, and they will do anything to continue to enjoy power.
Therefore, dragon bone extract actually does not have much positive significance for human society.
"Okay..." Strange's interest waned after he heard that dragon bone extract was a scarce and non-renewable item.
He is a top doctor, in fact he himself is privileged... He has a routine when performing surgery, which is not to treat poor people!
It's not that he himself rejects the poor...it's just that he feels that the skills and knowledge he has worked hard to learn and hone are priced, and this price is simply not affordable for the poor. Except for doing research projects, when he will come into contact with some patients whose financial situations are not ideal, he spends most of his time mingling among the rich and powerful.
There was no way, the poor couldn't make an appointment with his clinic. Of course, he himself didn't have much sympathy for the poor... Strange was undoubtedly a good man, but being a good man didn't mean he could empathize with the poor. Besides, he wasn't a very emotional person, he had sympathy, but not much.
So he could understand very well what would happen after the dragon bone extract was made public.
"Shall we set off?"
Strange drew circles.
Every time Kai saw the wizards of Kamar-Taj casting spells, he felt envious...it was so damn convenient.
"Of course, I also want to eat roast meat!"
"Then let's go to the one in Sham Shui Po. Wang said that one is more authentic!"
"How do you, a foreigner, know Sham Shui Po?"
"I've tried them. Although I can't tell which one is more authentic, to be honest, the roast meat is really delicious."
"Yeah, I know how to appreciate it." Kai said with some relief.
Of course you should be proud if others like your hometown cuisine.
Although I don’t know if roast meat can be considered his hometown dish.
