21st Century Necromancer

To outsiders, Hiromi Jounouchi seemed to be methodically preparing for various experiments after obtaining permission to use the sterile laboratory and was actively collecting all sorts of related data. She even established a relationship with Professor Soda, a gynecology and obstetrics authority from Kyoto University, to receive technological support, making it seem as though the experiments could begin as long as the equipment was ready.

But in actuality, inside Chen Yu's Mage Tower, the comparative experiment on mouse embryo development had already reached the seventh group, accumulating a substantial amount of valuable experimental data for her.

It must be said that under the condition of a hundredfold acceleration of mouse embryo development time, the results Hiromi Jounouchi achieved in just a few days were what other research institutions might not be able to obtain in months, or even in one or two years.

After all, for others, it was impossible to prepare seven or eight embryos for a single experiment and conduct large-scale comparative experiments under various conditions like she could.

And for Necromancers, this was merely basic operation.

If it weren't for the fact that experiments using flesh were more consuming and unpleasant to witness, and also couldn't accelerate developmental time, Hiromi Jounouchi would have even considered preparing a comparison sample using the original Flesh Womb Spell.

Even so, Hiromi Jounouchi had amassed a significant amount of experimental data before officially starting the experiments in the laboratory, which allowed her to understand the roles of various factors affecting embryo development under different circumstances.

With this information, along with the details of the Flesh Womb Spell from "Crimson Hymn" and the technical support from Professor Soda, Hiromi Jounouchi even felt confident to begin treating Egawa Sae directly.

However, before that, she needed a successful animal experiment to prove the feasibility and reliability of the research, which would persuade Egawa Sae and her family to accept this treatment plan.

Although Egawa Sae had already accepted the treatment plan proposed by Hiromi Jounouchi, such a treatment plan was unprecedented worldwide, and convincing someone to cooperate with treatment was not as simple as just talking about it.

Hiromi Jounouchi had to present concrete and practically feasible experimental data, otherwise it was clear the patients would not sign the surgery consent forms.

Inside the sterile laboratory, Hiromi Jounouchi, dressed in sterile protective clothing, was injecting culture dishes with nutrient solutions of different compositions. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Although the custom-made ECMO artificial placenta and the main vessel that would hold the embryo hadn't arrived yet, it would not do to leave the laboratory idle, so Hiromi Jounouchi decided to conduct some related experiments and collect some data in the meantime.

Indeed, while she had obtained a lot of data in Chen Yu's Mage Tower, experiments conducted under magical conditions and those under scientific conditions were ultimately different, and she hoped to compare the results of the experiments under these two sets of conditions.

The experiments Hiromi Jounouchi was currently conducting aimed to verify the impact of different nutrient solution compositions on embryo cell development. Each culture dish had already been prepared with mouse embryo cells, and based on the growth timeline of mouse embryos, the results should be known in about five days.

"Nakagawa-san, could you please arrange these culture dishes for me and make sure to observe and record them regularly? Thank you," Hiromi Jounouchi said, as she finished injecting the last nutrient solution into a culture dish, instructing Nakagawa Susumu, who was standing by, to take care of them.

After being assigned by Chen Yu, Nakagawa Susumu, along with two trainee doctors, had temporarily joined Hiromi Jounouchi's research team, effectively becoming her lab assistants, working diligently on her behalf.

Nakagawa Susumu had no objections or resistance to such an assignment; on the contrary, he was quite willing to accept tasks from Chen Yu.

For trainee doctors like Nakagawa Susumu, they were officially being cultivated by the University Hospital, but most of the time they were treated like gofers, with all sorts of trivial tasks left to them, and opportunities to be involved in surgeries were rare.

Being close to Chen Yu afforded not only the chance to observe and learn from various high-difficulty surgeries but also to participate in significant experimental research projects and understand the development of cutting-edge medical technologies – these were opportunities Nakagawa Susumu had never dared to dream of before.

Therefore, for the tasks given to him by Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, Nakagawa Susumu not only completed them with dedication but also truly enjoyed the work, feeling grateful to both Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi.

After all, in the hierarchy of the University Hospital, you only get to participate in such matters if they intend to cultivate you. If they don't wish to do that, they just use you for hard labor.

Or even worse, they completely ignore you. Trainee doctors wanting to learn experience and techniques? Sure, teach yourself if you can! Your learning entirely depends on your self-motivation, with no one to teach you.

Compared to that situation, Nakagawa Susumu felt his current treatment was extremely fortunate, which also made him all the more meticulous and serious in his work.

"Nakagawa Senpai, are we supposed to wash these used experimental instruments and then let them dry?" Another trainee doctor, who had cleared the used instruments from the experiment table, pointed to the equipment that needed cleaning and asked Nakagawa Susumu for guidance.

"Not only do these need to be washed, but they also need to be sterilized and disinfected. Get them organized and take them out," Nakagawa Susumu said after glancing at them.

In a sterile laboratory like this, there was a very strict protocol for disinfection and sterilization, so used experimental instruments would not be washed within the lab itself. They had to be taken outside for professional cleaning and sterilization before being brought back in.

It was apparent that this trainee doctor had never worked in a sterile laboratory before. Although he had memorized the aseptic procedures, when it came to actually performing them, he was still somewhat unfamiliar.

Nakagawa Susumu felt it his duty as a Senpai to remind them of the procedures.

As Nakagawa Susumu guided the two trainee doctors in cleaning the laboratory, Hiromi Jounouchi walked over to him and said, "Nakagawa-san, come here for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

"Doctor Jounouchi! What is it?" Standing before Hiromi Jounouchi, Nakagawa Susumu couldn't help but show a measure of respect. Not only was Hiromi Jounouchi his superior, but she was also Chen Yu's fiancée, and once she married Chen Yu, he'd have to address her as the Professor's Wife.

"This is the plan for the upcoming experiments. Take a look," Hiromi Jounouchi handed a sheet detailing an experiment plan to Nakagawa Susumu and said with an inquiring look, "At the end of this month, Mr. Chen Yu and I will be going to China, but the work in the laboratory can't be paused, so I need you to oversee the lab's daily operations and ensure the experiments continue as usual while I'm away. I'm leaving this in your hands!"@@novelbin@@

"Me?" Nakagawa Susumu was stunned by Hiromi Jounouchi's words.
