Chapter 284 - 281 Academic Discussion
Because the majority of attendees appeared dispirited, the atmosphere of the academic conference was naturally affected. Most participants were drowsy, and both the speakers on stage and the listeners in the audience lacked enthusiasm.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the conference was inevitably dull from the beginning, even more so than the last time Chen Yu had attended.
Chen Yu even saw quite a few attendees with particularly bad complexions, who completely ignored the speaker on stage and fell asleep leaning on their seats. Those who managed to stay awake were obviously fighting off yawns, with their eyelids battling to stay open.
Clearly, under such a lethargic atmosphere, the progress of the academic conference was far from smooth. Although the scheduled topics were being presented, it was apparent that the speakers on stage were merely going through the motions without the mood or energy to discuss anything extra.
The audience, in turn, listened in a foggy state, paying attention only to the content relevant to them and letting unrelated material go in one ear and out the other.
During the question-and-answer session, apart from the pre-arranged questioners, no one seemed eager to raise their hand to speak, leading to several moments of awkwardness.
Given such conditions, it was impossible for the conference’s organizing committee to continue with the afternoon session as previously scheduled, since everyone clearly lacked the inclination to do so.
Considering the participants’ mental state, the organizing committee of the conference canceled the activities planned for that afternoon and rescheduled them for the following day, allowing everyone some time to rest properly in the afternoon.
Upon hearing the host announce the cancellation of the afternoon’s scheduled conference activities, Chen Yu finally stood up with Hiromi Jounouchi, preparing to leave, and the other attendees in the hall couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, with most emitting sounds of unburdening.

Honestly, maintaining decorum without offending the speakers on stage in such a dull setting was truly a difficult task, and it put considerable pressure on those who simply couldn’t resist the urge to sleep.
Leaving the venue, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were headed to their rooms. Although both were Transcendents and could handle a night without sleep with little detriment to their health, they had not slept well the previous night and the morning’s conference had been so dreary that both wished to return to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.
In the hotel restaurant, Jounouchi Hiromi and Yu Chen were having lunch with Professor Soda while also discussing her questions with the professor.
After hearing Jounouchi Hiromi’s questions, Professor Soda took great interest in her proposal: "This is indeed a very good research topic. If it were possible to gestate babies using an artificial womb, this could significantly reduce the pains and dangers women experience during pregnancy and childbirth.
It would also greatly reduce the risk of fetuses contracting various diseases from the mother during development—a very meaningful research!"
"I wasn’t thinking that much; I just feel that it’s very pitiful for Ms. Egawa Sae. If she aborts the child for treatment this time, she may never be able to get pregnant again, but if she does give birth to the child, she might not survive herself.
Such a cruel choice between the two is really too much; I just want to help her," Jounouchi Hiromi said somewhat shy, embarrassed by Professor Soda’s praise as she explained her initial thoughts behind the treatment plan.
"No matter what the initial intention, being able to cure patients and reduce their suffering is good research for us doctors," declared Professor Soda. After praising Jounouchi Hiromi, she began addressing her doubts about the artificial womb concept, "Doctor Jounouchi, the problem you are facing now is how to ensure the fetus gets the necessary nutrients during its growth and development.
You are right to discard the idea of using placenta extract, as it doesn’t have much practical significance.
Glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, and triglycerides, along with various trace elements needed for fetal growth and development, can be combined as required, made into injections, and injected into the artificial placenta for delivery into the fetus through the bloodstream—that should be sufficient."
The real challenge is how to ensure that the fetus can develop normally outside the body, do you have a solution for that, Doctor Jounouchi?"
"Regarding that, here’s what I think..." Jounouchi Hiromi explained her ideas to Professor Soda and engaged in lively discussion, while Yu Chen ate his lunch and occasionally pitched in with a comment or two, expressing his views.
