Not Expensive, We Bought in Bulk!

Medical Center.

Operating Room 2.

Adam performed the surgery, with Dr. Burke as his assistant, without the assistance of any nurses or anesthesiologists, to operate on this patient whose blood was infected with Unknown Neurovirus.

The Observation Operating Room on the second floor.

Richard, the Chief of Surgery, who had regained consciousness, slowly walked in carrying an oxygen concentrator and inhaling oxygen.

"Preston, Adam, how are you?"

Chief of Surgery Richard glanced at Adam and his team and reminded them, "The isolation Operating Room is being prepared, and protective suits have been retrieved from the warehouse. If you are unable to complete the surgery, wrap the patient up, stabilize her, and then send her to the isolation Operating Room."

"Dr. Duncan?"

Dr. Burke looked at Adam.

This time, he was just an assistant, and he didn't know how long Adam's cool protective suit would last.

"Doctor, we can complete the surgery."

Adam laughed and said, "After that, before Dr. Burke's protective suit battery runs out, just send him out and find someone else to assist me."

Are you sure?

Chief of Surgery Richard said worriedly, "This surgery is much more complicated than we imagined. We may encounter all sorts of problems during the process. It can't be done in just an hour or two. How long can your procedure last?"

"I'm sure."

While performing the surgery, Adam explained, "This protective suit of mine was designed according to the standards of a spacesuit, and it has also been modified to suit my personal physical condition and professional characteristics to maximize its fit for my own use."

For example, the two oxygen tanks in the Life Support System backpack of a typical spacesuit can only provide oxygen for 6.5 to 8 hours.

However, that was designed after taking into account the launch weight of the spacecraft, the duration of the extravehicular activity mission, and the weight that the astronauts could freely wear.

My protective suit doesn't need to go into space; I'm also quite strong.

Therefore, this protective suit was designed to maximize the Life Support System when it was custom-made.

The oxygen tanks in the backpacks are all made to be larger than double the size.

Theoretically, it can provide enough oxygen for 72 hours.

The beverage pouches and fruit bars inside can easily provide 72 hours of energy.

Therefore, as long as the surgery doesn't last 72 hours, I'm fine with it.

"..."

Everyone fell silent after hearing Adam's explanation.

A while later.

After taking several deep breaths of oxygen, the Chief of Surgery Richard, said quietly, "Dr. Duncan, if I remember correctly, the spacesuit itself weighs at least 120 kilograms."

This is Earth, a microgravity environment. This is a solid 120 kilograms or more, not to mention you've doubled the weight. Are you sure you can last that long wearing such a heavy protective suit?

"Director, it's not as exaggerated as you think."

While performing the surgery, Adam laughed and said, "Ordinary spacesuits are very bulky. Look at mine, it's been specially cut down to be as stylish as possible... and as form-fitting as possible, so that it's convenient for me to perform the surgery."

The weight itself has been reduced significantly.

After all, my protective suit only needs to isolate the inside from the outside and prevent viral infection. It does not need to meet a series of requirements such as high and low temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, radiation protection, and warmth, like a real spacesuit.

Even with the oxygen tanks and other equipment being enlarged and doubled in size, the actual weight is only 150 kilograms, which is enough to wear for 72 hours without any problems.

"..."

The Observation Room on the second floor was already full of doctors who had rushed over after hearing the news. Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent again, with everyone looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

It's not that they're uncultured.

Instead, he had a grudge with nowhere to vent it.

150 kilograms?

Is 72 hours still okay?

Is this still normal physical strength?

Everyone immediately thought of Adam's legendary physical strength.

The men fell silent and the women wept.

The male doctor silently expressed his envy, jealousy, and resentment.

The female doctor, with tears in her eyes, said that even if they didn't have the looks, the money, or the talent, they could still do it.

Many people looked at Cristina.

It turns out that Adam really did carry out that giant tumor surgery all by himself, easily enduring more than ten hours.

But you're just muddying the waters, it's all a charade!

Cristina remained calm and focused on the surgery below, completely ignoring the strange looks from the crowd.

I'm not embarrassed; you're the ones who are embarrassed.

"Dr. Duncan, this protective suit of yours must be very expensive, right?"

A young doctor couldn't help but speak up.

"Fine."

Adam laughed and said, "The main problem is that the customization fee is a bit expensive."

"A spacesuit must cost at least several million US dollars, right?"

The young doctor pressed for an answer.

"Hehe."

Adam smiled and did not deny it.

The other doctors couldn't help but look at the young doctor who kept asking the question with strange eyes.

Are you really not sure, or are you just pretending not to know?

A few million is an astronomical figure for the average person, or even for the average doctor.

But for a billionaire, it's just the price of a toy; what's the big deal?

And did you do this on purpose, to hurt our fragile hearts?

That's it.

The young doctor, oblivious to his colleagues' disapproving looks, muttered, "That's alright. The main problem is the expensive customization fee? That means this whole set will probably cost tens of millions, just for an unexpected situation that might arise at any time. This..."

Adam didn't reply, smiled, and continued the surgery.

He really couldn't continue.

Because the custom design did indeed cost several million US dollars.

And he didn't just buy this one set.

We have Compact Surgical Adam's Custom Protective Suit, but would Adam really give up a regular space suit?

They weren't short of those few million, so they naturally bought some as backup.

This is a dangerous world mixed with American TV shows and movies; who knows when we might need to use it.

And it wasn't just Adam who needed it.

Juno, as a doctor, Karen, as a nurse, both work in hospitals for extended periods.

In the event of a viral crisis like today, where infection occurs through exposure, how can we function without a suitable set of protective clothing?

Adam believed that such a thing absolutely could not be left undone.

Therefore, when ordering the protective suits, Adam directly placed a group order to customize compact surgical gowns specifically for Juno and Karen.

This whole thing cost 20 million US dollars.

However, it is clear that this money was well spent.

Even though it's not usually needed, at this critical moment, it completely protected Adam from being exposed to the Unknown Neurovirus, allowing him to continue treating patients and extending his Lifespan.

You need to know.

Mark Sloan may be selfish, but his reasons are valid.

Without this pre-prepared protective suit, even if Adam felt that his physical condition was sufficient to withstand the aftereffects of the neurovirus, he would most likely have to think twice.

We'll see.

Why take risks when money can solve the problem?
