He Jiang wished he could be twenty years younger, so that he would have more energy for engine research and development.
But it is a pity that he is now obviously feeling physically tired, and he feels that there is still a lot of work that he did not do last night.
The turbofan 10 engine was indeed developed by He Jiang's 606 Research Institute after decades of hard work, but the core technology still refers to the American General F101 engine and the Russian AL-31 engine.
Moreover, many core components are not produced in-house but are imported.
The easiest way to judge whether an aircraft engine factory is 100% domestically produced is to look at the import and export situation of the aircraft engine factory.
In recent years, Institute 606 has imported a lot of foreign materials and parts. For example, turbojet engines, metalworking machinery knives and blades, nickel powder, aluminum non-flake powder, milling tools, etc.
Everything from complete engine parts to some materials, tools, etc. are imported from abroad. The main importers are also the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.
This shows that the so-called localization has actually just begun and there is still a long way to go.
However, after more than ten years of history from the establishment of the turbofan 10 engine project in 1989 to its success in 2007, did He Jiang and the 606 Research Institute really achieve nothing?
Not so.
The scientific researchers of Xia State have basically understood all the design principles and working principles of medium-sized engines.
It’s just that many core materials cannot be produced by ourselves.
It feels like a computer apprentice can assemble a computer using parts, and even has the skills to repair radiator fans and some parts of the motherboard, but he still has no way to produce his own CPU.
Even so, it is a great progress.
The successful development of the turbofan 10 engine will also allow Xia Guo to become a permanent member of the global "aeroengine" council, but there is still a big gap between it and the United States, Germany, and Russia.
Seeing Li Huiru waiting for him to eat, He Jiang put out the cigarette in his hand and put it in the ashtray. Then he took another sip of strong tea and said, "You old woman, you have nothing to do every day but supervise me."
Li Huiru rolled her eyes and accompanied He Jiang to eat.
The two have been married for forty years, and their love is as good as before and they are as close as guests.
He Jiang took a piece of dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and bit into it. Oil and water soaked out of the dumpling, making it dazzling under the light.
He Jiang took two bites and said, "The fat has been reduced."
He Jiang is a person who came from the old society and is afraid of hunger.
Even though his living conditions are better now, he is still used to eating fat meat.
Because in the era he lived in, fat meat could detoxify meat and was much more expensive than lean meat.
Li Huiru said: "The doctor told you to eat less fat, which is not good for your health."
He Jiang said: "Just listen to half of what the doctor says."
The old man was very stubborn, and Li Huiru stopped arguing with him. Over the years, she had gotten used to it.
In fact, Li Huiru is very "selfish". He does not want He Jiang to get rich, or even hope that He Jiang can achieve great achievements in academic research.
She just hopes to take good care of her husband and live a peaceful life.
After He Jiang took two bites of dumplings, he suddenly coughed violently.
Li Huiru quickly brought a bowl of noodle soup to He Jiang and said, "Oh, you really should eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."
At this moment, He Jiang took away his hand, only to find that it was actually a pool of blood.
This shocked Li Huiru.
"Old man!"
He Jiang looked pale, smiled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay."
Before he finished speaking, He Jiang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lungs. He was gasping for air, but he felt like he couldn't breathe well.
He Jiang was in shock.
Institute 606 has a medical system, especially high-end experts like He Jiang, who are equipped with private medical staff.
Medical staff rushed to He Jiang's residence as soon as possible, and while rescuing him, he was sent to the hospital there.
Fortunately, someone rescued me, but I was still in the ICU with a tube inserted.
In the evening, at the top tertiary hospital, several experts consulted and sent relevant situation reports to the director, Zhou Zuowu.
Li Huiru and He Jiang's children, relatives, friends, colleagues, and students were all waiting at the door.
"Dean Zhou, how is the old man's condition?"
Zhou Zuowu glanced at He Xiaomi (He Jiang's son) and said, "Why don't Mr. He come to my office and I'll talk to you about something." You.
Zhou Zuowu was afraid that Li Huiru would not accept it.
Who knew that Li Huiru said: "Dean Zhou, if anything happens, just tell me here. We are all relatives of He Jiang, and we can accept any situation."
This matter cannot be hidden, and the patient's family will be informed sooner or later.
Zhou Zuowu could only analyze the emergency examination report just now, including blood indicators, biochemical indicators, and enhanced CT of the lungs.
Zhou Zuowu said: "Aside from what we knew before about Mr. He having three high blood pressure and some rheumatism, the most important issue now is that we have found this."
Zhou Zuowu pointed to a large shadow on the lung CT and said: "We have initially determined that it is lung cancer."
When Li Huiru heard the word lung cancer, her mind went blank and she felt a little dizzy.
She always felt that cancer was far away from them because He Jiang was still relatively young and not yet 70 years old.
How could he suddenly develop lung cancer?
In this day and age cancer means death.
However, Li Huiru has experienced educated youth going to the mountains and countryside and experienced hunger in the 1960s. She still has rich life experience and psychological endurance.
People of their generation have an obsession that when they encounter a problem, they must solve it.
In addition to trying to solve the problem yourself, all complaints and anger are of no use.
Li Huiru was supported by her son. She calmed down for a while and said to the dean: "Dean Zhou, what kind of lung cancer is it?"
After all, Li Huiru is a medical student.
When I first met He Jiang, the organization sent me to take care of He Jiang's health.
There are many types of lung cancer.
But there is something very terrible, and it can be said that there is no cure.
Li Huiru looked at Dean Zhou with some expectation.
Even if it is lung cancer, she hopes to hear a better situation.
But it's a pity.
Dean Zhou shook his head helplessly and said: "Small cell lung cancer, and the shadows are located in the bronchi and pulmonary arteries."
Five thunders struck.
Li Huiru was a little unable to stand.
She knows what this means.
It means a death sentence.
Since it is located near the aorta, it is definitely inoperable and can only be treated conservatively.
However, as long as small cell lung cancer reaches the spreader, the cancer cells will spread around the body like guerrillas, and then take root and sprout in suitable locations.
Regardless of whether surgery or chemotherapy is used, it is basically difficult to achieve a radical cure, and patients can only die step by step.
He Xiaomi comforted her mother and said, "Mom, don't be too anxious. Our country's medical science is so advanced now that we will definitely be able to treat it!"
Relatives and friends also expressed their comfort.
"Yes, yes, don't be too anxious. Even if it can't be cured at home, we will go abroad!"
Talents like He Jiang are extremely valued by the country.
Therefore, as long as He Jiang's family members speak out, the country will find ways to send him abroad for treatment.
But everyone is relieved, and they also know the seriousness of small cell lung cancer.
In addition, He Jiang's physical condition has been in the laboratory for a long time, and he has almost lost money.
There is not much hope of actually rescuing him.
Any disease does not occur suddenly, but is caused by the accumulation of countless small problems.
Dean Zhou could only say with relief: "Sister-in-law, now that things have happened, we have to face it."
"Currently, the most advanced treatments for small cell lung cancer in the world are targeted drugs, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy."
"Among them, the technology of proton and heavy ion radiotherapy is better."
"The best proton and heavy ion equipment in our country is at the Affiliated Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai. Targeted drugs are not available in China. We have to find a way to buy them in the United States."
"Currently Mr. He's condition is in the mid-to-late stage. Whether it has reached the spread stage, we are still further analyzing CT or MRI."
"Currently the better targeted drug is osimertinib produced by AstraZeneca."
"This drug is still in clinical trials in the United States and has not been approved by the FDA. We cannot obtain such drugs through formal channels. We can only find ways to buy them from the black market with a lot of money."
"What is currently available on the market is gefitinib. Its effect is not as good as the experimental osimertinib, but it can be purchased."
Dean Zhou did not say the price.
Because he knew that for people like He Jiang, even if the country spent millions or even tens of millions, he would definitely find a way to treat him.
Because the value of He Jiang is infinite.
The research and development of domestic medium-sized engines has not been completely successful.
If something goes wrong in He Jiang, it will be a huge loss to the country.
He Xiaomi muttered: "Didn't you check your body last year? Why did this happen suddenly!"
Dean Zhou said with some helplessness: "Physical examination can only be used as a preventive measure and cannot 100% determine the problem. Moreover, it has been more than a year since the last physical examination, and the condition is constantly developing."
If a physical examination can solve the problem.
Then people will not die.
Obviously, it is incorrect to rely on physical examination to solve the problem.
This is just like a car that undergoes regular maintenance every year and will eventually become scrapped.
Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of life and the laws of nature, which no one can change.
Although He Jiang is very busy and does not go to the hospital for medical treatment, annual physical examinations are required by the state and are mandatory.
This is to ensure the health of top engineers.
But it is a pity that although He Jiang was found to have nodules in his lungs last year, current medical methods can only make He Jiang smoke less and work regularly. Such lung nodules are also difficult to treat.
However, with the nature and working status of He Jiang's work, there is simply no way to achieve the above points.
Moreover, small cell lung cancer can occur suddenly, which is the fundamental reason why most cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
There is no point in debating such an issue now.
"Dean Zhou, what's your suggestion?" Li Huiru said this feebly.
Dean Zhou said: "I recommend that you immediately transfer the patient to Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital in Shanghai for proton and heavy ion therapy as soon as possible."
"We will also find ways to report to the superiors as soon as possible. If conditions permit, we hope to be able to purchase some osimertinib from the United States."
"If the treatment goes well, the cancer cells have not spread and the tumor is shrinking, then the tumor can be surgically removed, which can prolong Mr. He's survival time."
Dean Zhou did not dare to say that He Jiang could be cured 100%, which would only prolong He Jiang's survival time.
Li Huiru nodded.
She is a medical student and knows that the plan given by Dean Zhou is currently the best plan.
Of course they also have to race against time.
We strive to transfer He Jiang to Shanghai as soon as possible before his condition worsens, and to purchase targeted drugs from the United States.
He Xiaomi didn't understand medicine, so he suddenly said: "If there is no spread, does that mean the cancer cells are only in the lungs?"
Dean Zhou nodded.
He Xiaomi quickly added: "If the cancer cells are only in the lungs, that would be easy! Just remove the lungs and replace it with another one?"
"After all, if the entire lung is removed, the tumor cells will not have any conditions to develop!"
After hearing this, the doctors at the scene felt that this idea was theoretically feasible, but in fact it was a bit naive.
suddenly!
Dean Zhou suddenly thought of something.
Changtian Technology’s combined colony therapy.
Regardless of whether the cancer cells have spread.
Removing all the lesions as soon as possible is more effective than chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Dean Zhou quickly put down the information in his hand and said: "Wait a moment, I will report this situation to the superiors. I hope they can coordinate and first transfer Mr. He to Changtian Technology's Pulmonary Disease Critical Treatment Center
, complete the lung resection first, and then determine whether further treatment is needed based on subsequent examinations."
If after lung resection.
It was also found that the cancer cells had metastasized.
Then the only option is to move it to where it is and treat it.
But the current lung must be removed.
After all, this affects the patient's breathing ability.
It is possible that the patient was still alive with other flatulence, but died of respiratory failure.
Dean Zhou immediately reported to the superior department, and the transfer matter must be handled by the superior department.
Because Dean Zhou knows that the queue for Changtian Technology’s critical treatment center is several years away.
If the relevant departments were not allowed to come forward, He Jiang would definitely not be able to wait until the time to queue up.
Chen Xiao's villa on Tianyue Island.
After the New Year's dinner.
Shen Wei and Wen Qi stayed at Chen Xiao's villa. Because they had no place to live on Tianyue Island, other colleagues were preparing to disperse.
At this time, Chen Xiao received an urgent call from the relevant leaders of Suhang City.
