What explanation could Song Ren give? He had never thought it would be like this.
Li Chunhua felt guilty because he was the sparring partner most of the time.
Did I use too much force? Lin Fan didn't say that! Li Chunhua's eyes spun around, wondering whether she should admit her mistake.
"I can explain this." Doctor Xiao came to Song Ren's rescue.
Jin Sichen turned around and looked over, and Li Chunhua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bruises caused by bumps and collisions are a normal physiological phenomenon. Generally, this is caused by rupture and bleeding of subcutaneous capillaries after the local skin is hit. After a period of time, the blood cells will automatically settle and things will soon return to normal." Dr. Xiao explained to Jin Sichen in detail.
"Is it normal for her to have such a large area of bruises?" Jin Sichen asked with a frown.
"If we exclude strong blows..." Dr. Xiao was interrupted just as he finished speaking.
"I didn't use much force, I was just being gentle. Lin Fan never cried out in pain. If you don't believe me, ask her." Li Chunhua clarified nervously.
Seeing Lin Fan like that, the confusion and guilt in his heart were entangled together, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Fan nodded under everyone's gaze, "It doesn't hurt much."
Actually, where would it not hurt?
Besides, Lin Fan was more afraid of pain than ordinary people, but she knew very well that if she wanted to practice well, she couldn't be afraid of pain, so she just endured it without saying anything.
She thought she could hide it by keeping quiet, but she didn't expect to receive new blows every day. As a result, her bruises could not heal completely. They were imprinted on her arms layer by layer, looking very scary.
"For such severe bruising, in addition to ruling out external causes, we also need to rule out the possibility of thrombocytopenia or vitamin deficiency," Dr. Xiao continued.
"What's thrombocytopenia?" Jin Sichen thought this sounded the most serious.
"There are many causes of thrombocytopenia, which can generally be divided into immune and non-immune causes. Both are caused by a decrease in platelets in the bone marrow. Common causes include Henoch-Schönlein purpura, aplastic anemia, and certain blood system malignancies, such as leukemia."
If people didn't care much about purpura and anemia, the emergence of leukemia shocked everyone.
"Don't worry, the possibility of leukemia is almost zero," Doctor Xiao reassured. "Lin Fan has weekly physicals, and we have all his health readings under control."
"Henoch-Schonlein purpura is more common in adult women, but considering Lin Fan's symptoms, it doesn't seem to fit," Dr. Xiao added. "Aplastic anemia can also be ruled out. However, to be cautious, we're still taking blood tests."
Because frequent blood draws are not good for Lin Fan's physical condition, there will be no special blood tests during the weekly routine physical examination.
"Could it be that Lin Fan's blood vessel walls are thinner, making them easy to rupture?" Wu Yi asked.
"You're talking about abnormal blood vessel wall function. Normal capillaries are fragile and have abnormal permeability, but only when the blood vessel walls are dysfunctional do they become particularly fragile. The slightest external stimulation can cause subcutaneous bleeding, resulting in bruising."
"This condition is usually caused by the deposition of lipid substances in the blood on the inner walls of the arteries. It is a chronic development process and is common in people with hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Lin Fan does not meet the criteria." Doctor Xiao shook his head in denial.
"Then the only thing left is vitamin deficiency." Song Ren said.
"By process of elimination, that's indeed the only one left." Doctor Xiao nodded, "But that's not entirely true. After all, Wu Yi has been preparing nutritious meals for Lin Fan, so normal vitamin deficiency is unlikely."
Wu Yi nodded vigorously. She was a professional in this area.
"The blood sample just sent will also be tested for vitamin content, so we'll still rely on the data."
"Apart from these, are there any other possibilities?" Jin Sichen asked.
"That's all the pathology. However, women have a special menstrual period, which can cause a certain degree of anemia, and this can also cause thrombocytopenia. Fatigue or cold can also lead to blood circulation disorders and bruises," added Dr. Xiao.
At this time, Kuang Li walked in.
"What's going on?" Li Chunhua was the most anxious.
"The test results are normal, except for the low level of vitamin K." Kuang Li handed the results to Dr. Xiao.
"What does vitamin K do?" Li Chunhua asked.
"It promotes blood coagulation. If the blood coagulation function is not good, bruising is more likely to occur." Doctor Xiao replied, "But I think this indicator is okay. Such a large area of bruising is probably caused by excessive force and fatigue."
But if you want to train your body, these falls are unavoidable.
Song Ren frowned.
Lin Fan's current strength isn't that great anymore, so if he adjusts...
"Actually, there is another way." Kuang Li said.
Everyone looked over to see if he had any good ideas.
"Driving suit." Kuang Li spelt out three words carefully.
"Yes, the driving suit has good pressure resistance and it is very comfortable to move around in." Li Chunhua clapped his hands.
Song Ren also thought of it.
During their training, they were equipped with pilot suits specifically designed for piloting mechas. Because their bodies had to work against the cold, hard steel of the mechas, they had to wear specialized mecha pilot suits to prevent bumps and bruises and protect the pilots.
I don't know what material the suit is made of, but it's heat-resistant, high-pressure-resistant, impact-resistant, shock-absorbing, and reasonably flexible. It also comes with a helmet. The whole set is surprisingly expensive.
Only after they join the project team and become confirmed drivers will driving suits be tailor-made for them.
Moreover, different mechas and driving suits usually have subtle differences.
Using a driving suit to reduce the impact on Lin Fan is indeed a feasible solution.
However, this also has a disadvantage.
People always learn faster when they are in pain. Once the pain is not so severe, their reaction will slow down and their learning speed will naturally not be as fast as before.
"Then let's apply for a driving suit?" Jin Sichen looked at Song Ren.
"I'll ask Ke Wenbin. He may need to modify it according to Lin Fan's condition." Song Ren pondered for a while and decided to take it.
Could Ke Wenbin still manage this? Li Chunhua wondered.
Ke Wenbin is really good.
After he knew that he was going to make a driving suit for Lin Fan, he was very happy and took out a lot of materials to share with everyone.
No one else understood that. Only Zhang Zhaojie came over and said he wanted to design a beautiful combat uniform for Lin Fan.
Yes, they changed the name.
Because every time Lin Fan transformed, his clothes would be pierced by the mecha, leaving several holes, resulting in a very high damage rate for the clothes.
This is a good opportunity to make a combat suit for Lin Fan. Not only can he wear it during normal training, but he can also wear it when transforming. He no longer has to worry about his clothes getting torn easily.
Everyone agreed with the idea, and Zhang Zhaojie and Ke Wenbin quickly got to work. Within a few days, the clothes were placed before Lin Fan.
It is a white jumpsuit, and the overall color scheme is based on the stars, with red blocks on the shoulders, chest, arms, etc. It is a smaller version of the stars.
Lin Fan zipped up his chest and sighed that he was lucky to have lost weight. Otherwise, a fat man wearing a jumpsuit would be a scene that was too beautiful to imagine.
Because Lin Fan didn't need to resist the external forces of the mecha, Ke Wenbin specially adjusted the material to make the suit lighter and thinner. Compared with this, the pilot suit seemed bulky.
Besides the usual features like waterproofing, heat resistance, and radiation protection, the best thing about this suit is its ability to dissipate force. No matter what kind of blow hits the suit, it will slide aside and not actually hit the person.
The matching helmet is not the round hard helmet like the one worn with a driving suit, but a soft hat like a hood.
The main purpose is not to protect Lin Fan's head, but to install cameras, headphones and other equipment to facilitate the perspective of 623 people to observe the stars.
As Lin Fan ran towards the training room wearing this outfit, the reserve players' eyes widened in disbelief when they saw what she was wearing.
"Is that a driving suit?" Everyone recognized Lin Fan's new clothes.
Although it is not quite the same as a driving suit, it is obviously a driving suit.
This discovery caused everyone who was running to explode.
Lin Fan slipped on his clothes several times under Li Chunhua's attack. She didn't feel anything and called for a stop.
Under the puzzled gazes of Song Ren and Li Chunhua, she walked aside and took off her combat suit. She put on a thin T-shirt and trousers, put on her boxing gloves, and walked back to Li Chunhua, saying lightly:
"bring it on!"
Lin Fanfan has new clothes. Good thing she's lost weight, hahaha. Give Piao Piao the money for the clothes.
