Chapter 641 Anesthetic Soup
"Your hand is broken, isn't it?"
Zuo Xi knew from Tinari's expression that it was definitely not a good thing. Based on his many years of experience watching movies and TV shows, when a doctor says this, it probably means that you are going to lose some limbs.
"...It's not that serious... There's a good chance that your right hand will recover, but... there might be some aftereffects."
Tinari was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a patient as emotionally stable as Zuo Xi.
Normally, when he said the previous sentence, his patients' expressions would change immediately... It was rare for him to see Zuo Xi looking calm and even guessing with a smile.
"It's just a little aftereffect. What's there to be hesitant about?"
Zuo Xi really didn’t care. Not to mention the sequelae, even if he lost this hand, he would have a way to replace it with a more powerful one.
Combining his technology with Sandoni's, it would be no problem to create a completely realistic prosthetic limb.
"…It's good to think of it this way. After you recover, your hands may not be as steady as before. In other words, you may never be able to use those delicate techniques again."
Tinari knew what Zuo Xi did, so he could understand how cruel what he was about to say next was to him.
But Zuo Xi's attitude was much more calm than he expected. In comparison, he seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing.
"That's it?"
That’s it—Zuo Xi’s true attitude is just this.
Not to mention that he no longer had to do the work himself. For most designs, he would draw the drawings and then hand them over to the craftsmen in the workshop to complete.
Even if he really needs to do it himself now, with his skills, it would not be a problem to make an external high-precision robotic arm.
It would be better to say that if he really needed to do things himself, he would have developed a robotic arm to assist him long ago.
After all, no matter how steady a human hand is, its precision is incomparable to that of a real machine. His real strength is not his dexterous hands, but what is in his mind.
"Really? I, I thought those amazing things were all made by you hammering them out one by one... just like the blacksmiths in Teyvat."
Paimeng's outrageous remarks were partly to ease the atmosphere and test whether Zuo Xi was really not sad, and partly because she really thought so before.
It was only after visiting the workshop that she corrected her mindset.
"Sometimes the old-fashioned method of forging iron is indeed very effective, but Zhidong has already used machinery to replace manpower... I remember that Fontaine seems to have used a similar method."
The metal properties required by some special materials do require specific processes, but anything that requires repetitive manual operation has almost been replaced by machines by Zuo Xi in Zhidong.
Moreover, in the field of iron wrought iron, mechanization replacing human labor is not an isolated case. Fontaine also uses mechanized technology.
"Hearing what you said, my friend... it seems to be true? No wonder we saw some strange devices being used for ironwork in Fontaine before. The people of Fontaine are quite smart, aren't they?"
Datalia suddenly remembered what he had seen in Fontaine before. Although he didn't pay much attention to these things, sometimes when he was free and helping debt collectors collect debts, he would pass by similar facilities.
So that’s mechanized iron forging?
"Let's not talk about this for now... Zuo Xi, are you feeling better now? Does the wound still hurt?"
Paimeng had already tested Zuo Xi's attitude just now, and he really didn't care about sequelae and the like. So Ying was more concerned about his current injuries and feelings.
You have to know that apart from the fact that Zuo Xi is a little smarter, he cannot compare with people like them who have been through many battles in any other aspect.
This is probably the first time for him to suffer such a serious injury... When it comes to injuries, it's not just the treatment and recovery that needs attention, the pain is also something that can't be ignored.
Zuo Xi, who had never been injured before, could really stand up to this kind of injury that even she would frown at the sight of...
"You don't have to worry too much about that. I've already given him a special anesthetic soup before the operation... What do you think? How effective is it?"
Tinari dispelled the traveler's doubts. It was common sense that anesthesia was needed before surgery. Why did the traveler think that he didn't even know this?
"It's pretty effective, to be honest, it still hurts a lot... but it's not so painful that I'm shaking anymore, so it's still useful."
Zuo Xi's lips are still a little pale now, which is caused by enduring the pain.
But if it weren't for the anesthetic soup, he would have probably fainted by now... Although fainting might be better, from this perspective, Tinari's anesthetic soup is still very effective.
