Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

"Good morning, Miss Frances." Kraft nodded slightly and decided to return the greeting after thinking about it.

There was a delay of several seconds, which made him seem a bit unsociable and a little rude, like the attitude of an old scholar who is addicted to academics, dull and arrogant towards his younger generation.

However, the lady from the Turquoise family didn't mind, nor did she pretend she hadn't noticed. She kept her familiar attitude as before, "You seem to be the kind of person who focuses on academics and has little interest in social banquets and trivial etiquette."

"Such people tend to go further. After all, craftsmen have no time to think about other things when they are polishing gems."

She said this with a natural and easy-going expression, and it was difficult to see any sign of deliberate flattery.

In addition to her communicative skills, Kraft noticed that she seemed to know her recent movements in the clinic. It should be noted that the college only learned about the treatment of tuberculosis with artificial pneumothorax after receiving a letter.

The Higo family, or perhaps Frances Galat Higo herself, was probably the kind of person with a keen sense of smell and a wide and timely source of information.

"Thank you for the invitation. It is important to have the opportunity to understand the upper limit of the current level of equipment production. After all, tool improvement is the basis for progress." Kraft's eyes jumped between the small booths. There may be equipment that has been commissioned, but there is no one. Tags and stuff.

"It sounds like you know a lot of people in the academy? I always thought the academy was a pretty closed circle."

"Business always requires a wide range of contacts. To be honest, once you get familiar with it, you will find that cooperating with the academy is a good choice - you will rarely meet a truly stupid person."

Frances put her hat back on to block the slightly dazzling sunlight. Her eyes wandered away from Kraft for a while under the cover of the hat brim decorated with transparent beads.

"Not necessarily. Once you get to know them better, you will find that the smarter the people, the more they like to use smart methods to do stupid things."

"Sorry, it sounds weird to say this, but it's... quite cute." Frances covered her mouth and let out a chuckle.

It wouldn't be cute at all if you knew what they did, Craft thought.

"If possible, can you introduce to me the results of the Xiguo family?"

"Of course, I'd love to."

The two of them walked towards the small exhibition tables scattered on the lawn. A corner away from the center, he soon met his first acquaintance here.

Lecturer Willen stayed alone at a table with several plier-like metal instruments, holding one of them and gesturing at his wrist. Realizing that the person coming was Kraft, he happily handed over the brass pliers.

"Professor Kraft, look at this. They really changed this thing according to our requirements - bending the head and adding serrations. This should be much easier to use than a simple clamp."

Kraft took it and observed it, and unexpectedly saw the prototype of the kind of hemostatic forceps he knew from this thing.

The head is curved, and the small back molar-like serrations bite each other without leaving any gaps. This greatly satisfies patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and at the same time makes it easy to grasp some slippery tissues, such as the retracted blood vessel stumps.

The difference is that there are no inverted teeth on the handle for locking and fixing, so you have to hold it after clamping, but cannot release it directly.

"It takes a while to file those little teeth and get them to line up."

Some industrialized mass products will become time-consuming and labor-intensive when made by hand, especially since the demand for these products is relatively limited, and the price is not likely to be very attractive.

But for an anatomy instructor, it's hard not to want one.

"If necessary, you can take it away and use it as a gift for trial use." Frances made a tempting suggestion, which was very effective. Willen accepted the gift after only a symbolic refusal, and said that if it is useful, he would Purchasing through the College.

Onlookers witnessed how a brand-new instrument went from the exhibition stand directly to the college's purchase list. It is foreseeable that it will naturally be promoted from the academy.

And all it takes is a banquet invitation and sample gift.

"The medical school of Dunling University is quite rich in funds?" Seeing Willen share the newly acquired tools with his colleagues, it makes people a little confused about the financial situation of the school.

"Don't you know? The royal family's medical advisors are always selected from the academy, and the funding for the academy comes from this. There are also people who are willing to promote the development of medicine, such as us, who are willing to provide some financial support."

"..."

"If you have any requirements for making special tools, you can leave it to us." Seeing Kraft's interest in the home-made tools, Frances was eager to give it a try, "We only need some usage reviews and recommendations to the industry. .”

"Like the hollow needle you use to treat tuberculosis, Dunling may not be able to find another company that can help make or even improve it."

"You are quite enthusiastic about medicine." Kraft commented, this luxury business family started from turquoise has a rare keen business sense.

"Of course, ever since I heard about the painless surgery, I felt that the status of surgery would completely change, and there would be more needs soon." She confirmed her judgment from Kraft's reaction, and Taking the opportunity to make suggestions.

"We need the help of a sufficiently professional and authoritative person. In exchange, you will receive a substantial portion of the proceeds, and the deed can be notarized by the church or someone you feel is suitable."

Imagine that in a few years, or even longer, the treatment would be popular across the kingdom and we would have a big chunk of it, just like the white glass business was monopolized. "

This will be an incredible amount of wealth, enough to cover any of your future expenses. "

After she said this, she stopped confidently and waited for the other party's reaction, her eyes wandering to the jewelry and small objects area again.

However, the response was not as good as expected. The professor had limited interest in the money part of the bright future, and instead focused his attention on other small tables.

"Sounds good." Kraft said without making any promises. "Let's see."

As long as you don't reject it, you have considered it. This seemed to Frances to be a good reaction.

She happily agreed, her attitude became more positive, and she continued to visit with her planned partners, "Of course, this is just a suggestion. I believe our craftsmanship will convince you."

The following tour proved that the Xiguo family's proposal was indeed sound.

The luxury goods business has provided considerable technical accumulation, with outstanding capabilities in precise polishing and shaping.

Frances introduced how they made all kinds of strange-shaped equipment according to the requirements. Some of them are taken for granted and appear to be high-end. In fact, apart from providing space for craftsmen to show off their skills, their practicality and popularity are worrying.

But there are also a lot of eye-catching items, such as blunt-nosed scissors and glass tubes, which greatly improve the user experience.

And Kraft also saw what he cared about most.

That's one of the few things that can be called conservative. Including glass dosing containers, as well as various surgical instruments. There are more of the latter, there is no innovation in form, they are just made to be durable and strong.

Instead of using the more common copper, forged steel is used, which is close to the material used to make sword blades. Their bright silver color makes them stand out among all kinds of equipment.

There are many types of them, far exceeding the requirements for ordinary amputation debridement, and they are made slender to adapt to deep and narrow spaces, closer to Kraft's needs, and designed for deep operations in limited surgical fields.

Some of the tools are familiar in shape, but the models are not quite what I remember. Especially the tools that clearly come from the field of orthopedics, such as bone saws, expanders and retractors, all look a lot larger when used on a stronger adult male.

"Whose need is this?"

"Ah, this is part of Professor Morrison's order. Due to an accident, it could no longer be delivered, so it was put on hold here." Frances explained, "But they did a good job, didn't they?"

"Morrison..." Picking up a hook, you can see that it is obviously deepened and lengthened. The end of the hook is bent into a claw-shaped gripping structure, and there is a hole at the end that looks like it is meant to be tied to a rope chain.

From the words listed on paper, you can never imagine what the finished product will look like. Even if it is to perform abdominal surgery on a strong man with eight-pack abs, it is a bit overkill.

"Before coming to Dunling, I always wanted to meet Professor Morrison. It's a pity."

"It is regrettable that he is the kind of person who is so focused on academics, just like you, that he sometimes neglects his family. Fortunately, Ms. Leslie can understand and will not blame him for not fully fulfilling his duties as a father."

"It sounds like you are quite familiar with Professor Morrison?" The first time I met Frances, she was being entertained by Morrison's daughter, and the two had a harmonious relationship.

"Because we have frequent contact, at least we are not strangers. Personally, I am more familiar with Ms. Leslie." With her communication skills, it is difficult for someone to be unfamiliar with her.

"Then what kind of person do you think...Professor Morrison is?" Craft asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Frances held her chin up in thought, puzzled by this inexplicable concern for Morrison, but this did not prevent her from interpreting it as curiosity about a well-known senior figure in the academic world.

Craft is also happy to answer non-stereotypical messages if it interests her.

"Actually, I think Professor Morrison's life is not completely devoid of other content."

"How do you say that?"

"He actually likes to study the history of the kingdom. I don't know when he started, but it has been for many years."

"We have given away some antiques, but he prefers old books. The older the better, and he also asked us to find ones related to the royal family at that time. It was not easy." Speaking of this, Frances's image is extremely close to catering to A Fang Qiqi asked the publicist, "I asked many old antique families to borrow some."

She lowered her voice mysteriously and said jokingly, "I suspect that Professor Morrison particularly likes the story of The Sword in the Stone, but is too embarrassed to tell it, so he collects these things in private, and is even willing to read this passage in the holy book."

If Ms. Leslie hadn’t told me, I would never have believed that the professor could take the initiative to read the Bible Stories.”

"This is so weird." There is a strange feeling that a favorite legend has been shattered and I am trying to find evidence from unofficial history books.

"Indeed, so it's just my guess, don't take it seriously."

While strolling and chatting, time passed by unconsciously. Exposure causes water vapor in the air to accumulate and condense into clouds again.

A unique summer shower brought an end to the open-air banquet. Everyone hurriedly hid under the corridor, complaining about the changeable weather in recent days. The male guests, who had been dragged around to look at the accessories all afternoon, were thankful to finally be able to return to their colleagues and continue their interesting exchanges.

It's getting late.
