Struggle in the Steam Age

After briefly describing the two people's experiences in the past few days, Professor Black clenched his fist with one hand and put it in front of his mouth, showing a thoughtful expression. "I think this is probably related to what I asked you for."

"Professor, what is your business with us this time?" Edward asked curiously with his eyes wide open, his green eyes sparkling like emeralds.

"It's a good opportunity for you." Professor Black cleared his throat and said to his two favorite students. "A week ago, when laying sewer pipes on the high ground in the north of the city, the workers dug through a relic belonging to the indigenous people in an underground cave, and Baron Gonzales decided to sponsor our school to organize an expedition to excavate The ruins."

"Baron Gonzales? Is that the big planter who came to Eagle Fort from Drake Island in the south half a year ago?" Lawrence asked after searching his memory.

"Yes, that's the upstart." Professor Black pouted contemptuously, and then said seriously, "But this is a good opportunity for you, you know, this kind of expedition often needs one or two team doctors. So I notified you to come here so that you can see if you can join this expedition."

"Thank you so much, Professor." Lawrence said gratefully. He knew that it was very easy to become a doctor in this world, and he didn't even need an exam. For good development, one must enter the circle of high society.

Participating in this kind of expedition is a very good way to join the upper class, because the people who organize this kind of expedition are often celebrities. If you show your face in the expedition, it is easy to meet some people who can make a career Helpers, and Professor Black's willingness to recommend them is indeed doing them a great favor.

But now that the two people were injured, this incident cast a thick shadow. After all, adventure is never a treat, and there are no small risks, especially in this world where extraordinary power exists. Therefore, once the injury affects the personal status, it is basically certain that he will be excluded from the list of candidates invited by the expedition team.

"I will find someone to investigate this matter and report it to the school, and you don't have to worry about the next thing." Professor Black looked at his two students and said, "The focus of the investigation will definitely be on the school, after all Not many people knew about this before. As for opportunities, there will always be in the future."

"Thank you, Professor." Lawrence and Edward bowed together and thanked. As a professor at one of the top universities in the White Eagle Federation, Professor Black's power in Eagle Fort is far greater than that of a sheriff or a priest in a small town in the distance. many.

So when Professor Black said he was willing to help Lawrence and Edward get justice and promised to help them find other opportunities, Lawrence felt a sense of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"This is what I should do." Professor Black waved his hand and said. "I can accept that my students are eliminated because of their lack of level, but I absolutely cannot accept that they are eliminated by improper means. Because this improper means is a kind of pollution to knowledge, and it is also a kind of humiliation to the school."

Speaking of which, Professor Black took out a gold-cased pocket watch with flowers and grass patterns from his pocket, opened it and took a look. Then he put away his pocket watch and stood up from behind the desk with his hands together.

"Come with me, Professor Liston has a surgical performance today, and Baron Gonzalez will also be here. I originally planned to take this opportunity to recommend you two to join the expedition team he sponsored, but now, alas—— "

A few minutes later, they came to the outside of a large red brick auditorium, which was the operating room.

After entering the operating room, Lawrence found that this operating room could hardly be called a qualified operating room according to the standards of the post-world. It has no air purification system, no disinfection room, and even the most basic hygiene cannot be guaranteed.

Most of the space in the whole house is occupied by a semi-circular stepped booth. Opposite the booth is a huge skylight, through which sunlight now shines on a wooden table surrounded by steps.

A few straps hung from the sides of the wooden table, with suspicious tan marks on it, and a tin bucket full of sawdust was placed against the legs of the table. Next to the table, there are several workers who are spilling a lot of wood chips on the open space beside the table.

"It seems that we arrived just in time before they started to sprinkle sawdust that absorbs blood." After glancing at the people sitting in twos and threes on the stepped booth, Professor Black brought his two disciples to the first row to sit down, " Professor Liston is the most famous surgeon in the White Eagle Federation, he only took 30 seconds to amputate the patient's necrotic right leg in the last operation."

"It's really—awesome!" Lawrence echoed, although according to his previous life, this place was more like a slaughterhouse than an operating room, but the knowledge he had learned in the past few years reminded him that this doctor has indeed mastered everything except the extraordinary in this era. The most excellent medical skills besides strength.

Shortly after they sat down, the workers who dumped sawdust on the ground walked out. After that, audiences in twos and threes entered the room from the door and found their seats. It's just that the seats they looked for were all away from the table, because the first two rows of the operating room were reserved for medical students, professors and special guests.

Soon the room was full of people, and then a muscular middle-aged man walked in with a young assistant. One of the middle-aged men was Professor Liston. Neither he nor his assistant wore coats, but a yellow apron over a vest covered in dried blood and other messes.

Lawrence, who was sitting in the first row, could even smell a rotten smell coming from them, which made him lean back involuntarily. However, other people around did not feel any discomfort.

The most exaggerated thing is that sitting not far from them, a fat middle-aged man with black curly hair in a tuxedo took out a sandwich from the basket carried by the servant and munched on it, like going to a park for a picnic.

"Ah, the patient has come in. You have to keep your eyes open for a while to watch his movements, because his movements are very fast. Sometimes you only need to distract yourself for a moment, and the operation will be over." Professor Black whispered to Lawrence and the others. .

After hearing these words, Lawrence turned his eyes away from the middle-aged man. At this moment, two other assistants of Professor Liston walked in pushing a bed with wheels.

Today's patient is a poorly dressed middle-aged man, his face looks ugly now. After entering the room, three assistants cooperated to lift the patient onto the wooden table, and then fixed him on the wooden table with the straps on the edge of the table.

Everything was ready, Professor Liston bowed to the middle-aged man who was eating breakfast sitting in the front row, then turned around and let the assistant inhale a mask with an air tank on the patient, and the patient soon He fell into a deep sleep.

This also made Lawrence breathe a sigh of relief, the operation with anesthesia is much better than without anesthesia anyway.

"Give me time, gentlemen!" After confirming that everything was ready, Professor Liston grabbed the patient's knee with his left hand to stop the bleeding, while holding a scalpel in his right hand, he quickly cut the middle of the calf.

In just a few seconds, the muscle and skin are cut open. Then Professor Liston threw the knife on the plate held by the assistant, and took the bone saw handed over by another assistant.

With the sound of creaking bones, the patient's severely shriveled and blue leg was sawed off, and then Professor Liston began to bandage the wound. At this moment, a mournful voice suddenly came from the side: "My lord, what's wrong with you, my lord?"

Starting tomorrow, there will be two changes a day as usual. 12:30 noon, 19:00 pm
