A 10,000-fold Increase System, Picking Up Garbage and Becoming a Technology Giant

Chen Fan had made detailed preparations over the last two days, looking up a lot of relevant information. What he said was half-true; the true parts were conjectures from the frontiers of material science and some principles provided by the system, while the false part was that this technology currently had no mature application at all. However, with the support of the ’Myriad Things Amplification System,’ as long as he could create the basic carrier, he could turn it into reality.

The reason he spoke so professionally was to lead the conversation toward his own factory.

As Old Master Qin listened, his casual demeanor gradually faded, replaced by focus. He came from a background as a high-level intellectual; although his specialty was different, his power of comprehension far exceeded that of ordinary people. Chen Fan’s description stepped outside the conventional bounds of medicine or physical therapy and touched upon a cross-disciplinary field. It didn’t sound like a fairy tale; rather, it had the flavor of frontier exploration.

”Are you referring to something in the category of ’bioactive materials’ or ’tissue engineering’?” Old Master Qin accurately pinpointed the related fields.

”There are commonalities, but it leans more toward indirectly regulating the physiological environment through physical microstructures and field effects, rather than directly providing active cells or growth factors,” Chen Fan explained. ”It’s safer and more durable. Of course, this is currently only in the theoretical and preliminary experimental validation stage.”

”Interesting.” Old Master Qin gently tapped his cane with his finger. ”So, your suggestion is?”

”I was thinking that perhaps I could try to customize a pair of... protective gear for you,” Chen Fan proposed his plan. ”Targeting your most painfully affected knee and wrist joints. We would use that specially treated material as a lining to fit against the joints. It doesn’t ’cure’ the disease, but it aims to create a local micro-environment better suited for the joints’ own repair, alleviating pain, inhibiting the progression of inflammation, and perhaps... slowing further joint deformation and improving mobility.”

He didn’t promise a cure, only alleviation and improvement. He knew Old Master Qin was well-versed; boasting would only make the man think he was bragging. This approach was actually more credible.

Old Master Qin was silent for a moment, his gaze toward Chen Fan becoming a bit more piercing. ”Customized? For this kind of frontier stuff that isn’t on the market yet, aren’t you afraid of risks, or... that it won’t have any effect?”

”Regarding risks, I can provide the strictest data from biocompatibility tests of the material itself to guarantee it is absolutely safe for the human body. As for the effect...” Chen Fan said candidly, ”As I said, this is an exploration. But I have confidence in its underlying principles. If you are willing to try it, I can provide the first batch of customized products for free; you would simply be participating in a frontier experience. If it works, that’s best; if not, you won’t lose anything, nor will it interfere with any of your current treatments.”

His attitude was poised; he had technical confidence while fully respecting the other party’s wishes, taking the risks and responsibilities upon himself.

Su Qingyue listened from the side, her heart surging. She hadn’t expected Chen Fan to propose such a specific and technically sophisticated plan, and she was even more moved by his earnestness and sense of responsibility. Naturally, she was also touched that Chen Fan had taken her request so seriously.

Old Master Qin pondered for another moment before suddenly laughing. That smile contained an open-mindedness that had seen through the world and a long-lost trace of sharpness. ”These old bones of mine have been through all sorts of storms; why would I fear one attempt? Qingyue trusts you so much that she brought you here; I trust her judgment. Furthermore...” He paused. ”You, young man, have a methodical way of speaking and acting without being flamboyant. You’re a bit like the promising youngsters I used to mentor. Fine, I’ll be your ’experimental subject’ for once!”

”Grandpa Qin!” Su Qingyue said in pleasant surprise.

”Old Master Qin, thank you for your trust,” Chen Fan said solemnly. ”I will prepare the materials and preliminary designs as quickly as possible to come and measure your specific dimensions.”
