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."
