"Good morning, Miss Francis." Kraft bowed slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to return the salute.

This delayed for a few seconds, and it seemed a little unsociable and a little rude, like the attitude of an academically obsessed, slow and arrogant old pedant towards his juniors.

However, the lady of the turquoise family did not mind, nor did she pretend not to notice, as in her previous familiar attitude, "You also 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, because craftsmen don't have time to think about anything else when they are looking for gemstones."

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

In addition to her communicative skills, Kraft noticed that she seemed to be aware of her recent movements in the clinic, and it was only after receiving the letter that the college learned about the treatment of tuberculosis by artificial pneumothorax.

The Higo family, or Frances Galat Higo herself, are probably the kind of people with a keen sense of smell and a wide range of sources of information.

"Thank you for the invitation, it's important to know the opportunity to see the upper limit of the current level of device making, after all, tool improvement is the foundation for progress." Kraft's gaze jumped from booth to booth, perhaps there were commissioned instruments, but there was no label or anything.

"Sounds like you know quite a few people from the academy? I always thought the academy was a very closed circle. ”

"Business always requires extensive travel. Truth be told, once you're familiar with it, you'll find that working with the academy is a good choice – you'd be hard-pressed to meet a truly stupid person. ”

Frances put her hat back on, shielding herself from the glare of the sunlight, her eyes wandering away from Kraft for a moment under the cover of the brim adorned with transparent beads.

"Not necessarily, after getting acquainted with them, you will find that the smarter people are, the more they like to use smart methods to do stupid things."

"Sorry, it's strange to say, but it's ...... It's pretty cute. Frances covered her mouth and chuckled.

If you knew what they did, it wouldn't be cute at all, Kraft thought.

"If so, can you tell me about the achievements of the Xiguo family?"

"Of course, I'd love to."

The two of them walked towards the small display tables scattered on the lawn. Far from the center, he soon met his first acquaintance.

Lecturer Viren was alone at the table with several pliers-like metal instruments, gesturing at his wrist with one of them. Realizing that it was Kraft, he happily handed the brass pliers.

"Professor Kraft, look at this, they've really changed this thing as we asked - bend the head and add serrations, which should work a lot better than a simple clip."

Kraft took it and looked at it, and was surprised to see the rudiments of the kind of hemostat he knew was there.

The head is curved, and the small serrations like the posterior molars bite each other without leaving a gap, which greatly satisfies the OCD patient and makes it easy to grasp some slippery tissues, such as the stump of blood vessels that will be retracted.

The difference is that there is no inverted tooth on the handle for locking and fixing, so it has to be held after clamping, but cannot be released directly.

"It takes a while to file these little teeth, and it takes a while to get them in line."

Some industrialized mass products will become time-consuming and laborious when put into pure handwork, which is very unpleasant, especially the demand for these things is relatively limited, and the price is estimated to be not too beautiful.

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

"If you need it, you can take it with you and give it a trial." Frances made a tempting suggestion, and it worked so well that Viren accepted the gift after a symbolic resignation, saying that if it was useful, it would be purchased through the Academy.

Onlookers witnessed how a brand new piece of equipment went from the booth to the Academy's purchase list. It is foreseeable that it will naturally be promoted from the academy in the future.

And all this is a banquet invitation and a sample giveaway.

"The Faculty of Medicine at Dunling University is quite well funded?" Watching Viren share his new tools with his colleagues was a little confusing about the financial situation of the college.

"Don't you know? The royal family's medical advisors are always elected from within the Academy, which is also funded by the Academy. There are also people who are willing to promote the development of medicine, such as us, who are willing to provide a little financial support. ”

“……”

"If you have a request for any special tool to make, you can also leave it to us." Seeing Kraft's interest in the tools she made home, Frances's true purpose was intrigued, "We just need some reviews and recommendations to the industry." ”

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

"You're pretty enthusiastic about medicine." Kraft commented that the turquoise luxury business family has a rare business acumen.

"Of course, from the moment I heard the news of painless surgery, I felt that the status of surgery would change completely, and there would soon be more needs." She affirmed her judgment from Kraft's reaction and seized the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"We need the help of a sufficiently professional and authoritative person, and in exchange you will receive a considerable share of the proceeds, and the deed can be notarized by the church or whoever you think fit."

Imagine a few years, if not longer, when the entire kingdom becomes popular with this treatment, and we will own a large chunk of it, as it was when the white glass business was monopolized. ”

That's an unimaginable amount of money that can cover any of your future expenses. ”

With that, she confidently paused to wait for the other to react, her eyes wandering to the trinkets and small objects section again.

However, the response was not as good as expected, and the professor showed limited interest in the money part of the bright future, instead turning his attention to other small tables.

"Sounds good." Kraft made no promises, "Let's see again." ”

As long as there is no refusal, it is considered. This was already a good reaction in France's opinion.

She cheerfully responded, becoming more positive, and continued the tour with her planned partner, "Of course, this is just a suggestion, and I believe that our craft will convince you." ”

The following tour proved that Xiguo's proposal was indeed confident.

The luxury business offers considerable technical accumulation, and its ability to accurately polish and shape is outstanding.

Frances explained how they made all kinds of bizarre pieces of equipment according to the requirements. Some of them are too taken for granted and seem to be high-end, but in fact, in addition to providing space for craftsmen to show off their skills, their practicality and popularity are worrying.

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

And Kraft saw what he cared about most.

That's one of the few things that can be called conservative. This includes glass dosing containers, as well as a variety of surgical instruments. The latter is more numerous, there is no innovation in form, but it is made durable and strong.

Instead of using the more common copper, forged steel was used, close to the material from which the blade was made. The bright silver color makes them stand out from the crowd.

They are available in a wide variety of genres, far beyond the needs of ordinary amputation debridement, and are made to be slender enough to fit deep and narrow spaces, closer to Kraft's needs, and designed for deep operation in a limited surgical field.

Some of the tools are familiar in shape, but the model does not quite match the impression. Especially the tools that clearly come from the orthopedic territory, bone saws, dilators, and retractors are used on stronger adult males.

"Whose needs are this?"

"Ah, this is part of Professor Morrison's order, and it was shelved here because it was unexpectedly unable to continue delivering." "But they're doing a great job, aren't they?" ”

"Morrison......" picked up a retractor hook, which was noticeably deepened and lengthened, with a claw-shaped grip at the end of the hook and a perforation at the end that looked like it was to be pulled on a tether chain.

With the words listed on paper, it is absolutely impossible to think of what the finished product will look like. Even if it is an open abdomen operation for a strong man with eight-pack abs, this is a bit overkill.

"Before I came to Dunling, I had always wanted to meet Professor Morrison, but alas."

"Regrettably, he is the kind of man who is so focused on academics, like you, that he sometimes neglects his family, but fortunately Ms. Leslie understands and does not blame him for not fully fulfilling his fatherly duties."

"Sounds like you're familiar with Professor Morrison?" When she first met Frances, she was being entertained by Morrison's daughter, and the two had a good relationship.

"Because of the frequent contact, at least not strangers, I personally know Ms. Leslie better." With her communicative skills, it's hard to have someone she doesn't know.

"What do you think...... What kind of person is Professor Morrison? Kraft asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Frances pondered with her cheeks in mind, puzzled by this inexplicable concern for Morrison, but this did not prevent her from understanding it as curiosity about her well-known predecessors in the academic world.

If this interests Kraft, she is happy to answer some non-stereotypical messages.

"Actually, I don't think Professor Morrison's life is completely devoid of other things."

"What do you say?"

"He actually likes to study the history of the kingdom. I don't know when it started, but it's been years. ”

"We gave away some antiquities, but he prefers old books, the older the better, and asked us to find something related to the royal family at that time, which is really not easy." Speaking of which, Frances's image is infinitely close to catering to the PR that caters to Party A's strange requests, "I asked a lot of old antique families before I borrowed a little." ”

She mysteriously lowered her voice and said jokingly, "I suspect that Professor Morrison is particularly fond of the Sword in the Stone story and is too embarrassed to say it, so he collects these things privately, and is even willing to go to the Holy Book to read this paragraph." ”

If Ms. Leslie hadn't told me, I would never have believed that the professor would have taken the initiative to read the canon stories."

"It's weird." There's a weird sense of a favorite legend shattered.、Trying to find circumstantial evidence from wild history classics.。

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

In the midst of idle chats, time passes imperceptibly. Exposure causes water vapor to accumulate in the air and re-accumulate into clouds.

A shower characteristic of summer brought the open-air banquet to an end, and everyone hurriedly hid under the porch, complaining about the changeable weather of the recent days. The male guests who were dragged to visit the jewelry all afternoon were glad to finally be able to return to their colleagues and continue the exchange of interest.

It's getting late.
