A Hospital in Another World?

Garrett has been practicing on animals these past few days, and Ophelia has also found her practice subjects. A group of barbarians stands in front of her, ready to be summoned or dismissed at her will, as she uses the [Detection Magic] to scan them:

"Garrett! Something seems off here, doesn’t it?"

"Let me see... Ma’am, this leg bone of his has been broken before and didn’t heal properly; it’s a bit crooked."

"Garrett! What are these dark spots?"

"It’s nothing, just constipation."

"Garrett—"

Humans are not the only ones; barbarians can make do as subjects too. When Garrett began studying the [Advanced Detection of Decay], he had already handed over a complete set of human anatomical X-ray images, both frontal and lateral, to the silver dragon lady. Now, she is thoroughly enjoying using the [Detection Magic] (X-ray version) he provided…

Ah, the physical differences between humans and barbarians, although significant, are much more manageable than those with dwarves. It’s all about proportions, no joke!

Even if Ophelia, beneath her elven guise, is a true silver dragon, she couldn’t help but feel the weight sink in her delicate hands as she took the thick album:

Garrett, still so young among the long-lived races, could almost be considered a child. How many patients did he treat, and how much time did he spend, to compile such a thick album?

"This isn’t just my own work," Garrett modestly lowered his head, avoiding her astonishment and sighs. The images were drawn by his hand, one by one, but every key point, every detail worth noting in those images, was the result of thousands of healers summarizing their findings on patients bit by bit.

Taking pictures, making comparisons, summarizing, writing books. Time and again, revising and iterating…

Going further back, it was the world’s top scientists who, with boundless enthusiasm and curiosity, unveiled the secrets of radioactivity;

It was the forebears who, at the cost of their health and lives, explored the functions and dangers of X-rays;

It was the righteous and courageous who, risking their lives amidst war and chaos, transported China’s mere 50 grams of radium southward, preserving the precious spark for the nuclear cause...

How could one take this lightly?

How could one not live up to their sacrifices!

Thus, whenever he had the means, he would draw an imaging picture for every patient he treated. Countless nights spent drawing, accumulating to now, a thick volume unbeknownst.

"Alright, alright... I’ve made a copy, here it is back to you," Ophelia tossed the album back into his arms, watching him clumsily stuff it into his spatial bag, then casually snapped her fingers:

"I’ve got the hang of your [Detection Magic], it’s just about memorizing the images and practicing over and over. What about the other magic? I’ve practiced it well, do you want to see me try?"

"No way!" Garrett suddenly looked up, his voice loud:

"Don’t practice on humans! You must practice on animals until you’re proficient!"

"Really? Can’t do it?" Ophelia teased him with a smile. She extended an arm, rolled up her sleeve, and presented it to him:

"Try and see, can you tell with that ultrasound magic you mentioned?"

Garrett, with a dark face, threw glycerin at her. If we’re going to see, then let’s see. Although ultrasounds are generally used for organs, blood vessels, and joints can also be observed; but don’t expect me to apply the gel for you!

Do it yourself!

Ophelia, in high spirits, twisted open the cap of the glycerin bottle, boldly pouring half of it over her arm. After a casual rub, Garrett seemed to see glimmering silver light beneath the gloss. Wait, dragon scales?

What’s the principle behind your transformation spell? Why are there dragon scales under an elf body?

He grumbled as he placed his fingers on it. The magic activated, ultrasonic waves emitted, and the ultrasound observation—began!

"…Wait, ma’am, could you retract the dragon scales? I feel like I’m not observing a human body, but conducting metal flaw detection… I can only see the gaps between the scales!"

Fortunately, the ultrasonic frequency used for metal flaw detection generally ranges from 0.5 to 20MHZ, similar to that used in ultrasounds. Otherwise, his ultrasonic emission wouldn’t have revealed anything, scales or otherwise…

"Can’t see?"

"Yeah, can’t see. There’s a layer of silver blocking the view! Ma’am, please practice on animals first, pay attention to controlling the frequency, don’t harm the animals…"

"Hey, wait up!"

The silver

dragon girl called out from the side.

Serrala, having traveled with Garrett for so long, had already learned X-ray magic—of course, whether she could use it well or interpret the images correctly was another matter. But when her aunt was struggling with the album, she picked up ultrasound magic right away.

Now, the silver dragon girl, holding a shaved rabbit, was curiously examining it. Seeing Garrett turning to leave, she flicked her fingertips, and a gentle breeze swept out, entangling Garrett’s feet:n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Come here! Is what I’m seeing correct?"

"You—" Garrett wanted to say, why not copy the image out? But he paused, turned to Ophelia:

"Ma’am, could you please research how to display the images seen in meditative vision to the outside world, to print them on paper? This way, it would also be easier for me to explain to everyone what the images represent…"

The silver dragon lady dived into the research. And after Garrett had treated the barbarians, he turned his head and plunged into another research endeavor.

…So, how to connect the electric current drawn from the heart to the cloud screen?

In front of him was a rabbit, shaved clean of fur on its chest and abdomen, lying on its back. With a silver needle in each hand, he gauged their position, inserting them between the fourth ribs at the left and right edges of the sternum. Thankfully, rabbits, like humans, also have 12 pairs of ribs, sparing him the need to recalculate the electrode positions…

"Summon cloud screen… Descend… Place above the silver needles… Three millimeters… Two millimeters… One millimeter…"

The cloud screen trembled. Then, at the moment the left needle tip touched the screen and the right hadn’t yet made contact, it quietly collapsed.

Garrett was expressionless. He pulled out the needles and opened his notebook.

A root stretched from the oak staff in his chest pocket, wrapping around the [Endless Ink Pen] to begin writing on the notebook:

"Electrocardiogram Experiment No. 17, failure."

"Reason for failure: The silver needles did not enter the cloud screen simultaneously, causing elemental interference and dispersion."

"Improvements: 1, Ensure the cloud screen descends in time for simultaneous needle insertion; 2, Restrain the subject to prevent needle movement; 3, Connect the needles to a wire at the top, fixing it on a plane to maintain consistent height."

Hmm, the third method seems more reliable, especially since an electrocardiogram requires 12 leads. The problem is, the faint heart muscle electricity after passing through the wire is too attenuated to be observable…

Should I introduce superconductors? —By the way, what metal should be used for superconducting wires, and how low must the temperature be?
