Chapter 858 Overcoming Medical Problems
Remember【Pen♂Fun÷Ge】in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, scientific name "gradual freezing disease". After suffering from this disease, there is still hope for treatment in the early stage, but once it enters the advanced stage, the probability of recovery by relying on clinical treatment is almost zero. Faced with Hawking's situation, all modern medicine can do is to control the patient's condition.
But for 22nd-century technology, treating this condition is not much of a problem.
In the timeline of the last days, the medical technology was quite developed. As of before the war, almost 90% of the incurable diseases have been solved. Lou Gehrig's disease is one of the diseases that has been solved.
The easiest way to treat Lou Gehrig's disease is to use the smart medical cabin that Jiang Chen brought to this world last time to cure Aisha. No matter how serious the muscle tissue necrosis, atrophy and other conditions, as long as enough time and culture fluid are spent, it can be effectively treated. As for the accumulated neurotoxic substances and glutamic acid accumulated between nerve cells, it can be cured by injecting special drugs.
There are medical experts in the last days, and it is not difficult to prepare these medicines.
With mixed emotions, the British Prime Minister left the country at the end of a three-day diplomatic visit.
Before receiving treatment, Hawking asked Jiang Chen an interesting question.
"May I take the liberty of asking a question before I receive treatment?"
"If you're going to ask me if the operation will be painful, my answer is no." Jiang Chen replied in a humorous tone.
"It has nothing to do with me. What I want to ask is about the homework you assigned to the students half a month ago."
"What? Masters of cosmology are also interested?" Jiang Chen looked at the old man unexpectedly and asked.
"I'm just curious, did you find something?"
Those cloudy eyes seemed to have the penetrating power of seeing the universe, looking straight into Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Why do you think so?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Because the number of rockets you have produced in the past few years is equivalent to the sum of NASA's launches in the past ten years." Hawking tapped the keyboard with trembling fingers, "With such frequent space activities, you must be able to discover something."
"So has NASA discovered anything in the past few decades?" Jiang Chen asked in turn.
Hawking was silent for a while,
He typed out a paragraph intermittently with his fingers.
"They never answered that question head-on, but I'm sure they found something. You can look at Area 51, it's not just a federal military base."
For the details of Area 51, Hawking did not elaborate. Obviously, as a scholar, it is impossible for him to know too much information.
At the end of the meeting, Jiang Chen asked a little abruptly.
"If there are extraterrestrial civilizations, and they know we are here, do you think they will be hostile?"
Hawking tapped the keyboard on the armrest and replied.
"If you've seen my lectures, it's clear to you that I never doubted that."
Jiang Chen smiled and stretched out his hand.
"It's an honor that we are on the same page."
"...Sorry, I can't shake your hand right now."
In mid-October, in the Keluo City Hospital under Future Life, accompanied by three children who came from the UK, Hawking entered the operating room and lay down in the medical cabin with the help of medical staff.
Considering that the muscles of his whole body have atrophied to a rather serious degree, this recovery time may be quite long. The international community has also paid extensive attention to the medical problem of overcoming Lou Gehrig's disease in the future.
The cure of any terminal illness is an immeasurable progress in the field of medical research.
Even though the prevalence of Lou Gehrig's disease is not high, there is still a lot of interest from international medical organizations.
However, like the previous few times, Future Biosciences did not disclose how to treat this terminal illness, but generally summarized the treatment process as two steps of "muscle tissue repair and neuron repair". International medical organizations have nothing to do about the "stinginess" of Future Human beings. After all, Future Human Group is an enterprise, not a scholar. Even if they find something, they cannot write a paper and publish it on SCI.
In fact, it wasn't that Jiang Chen was stingy this time, but that he couldn't explain it clearly.
Under the special electromagnetic action, the culture fluid used in the medical cabin can accelerate the repair of necrotic cells. If the medical experts at the end of the world were to explain it, they might be able to explain it clearly, but for a layman like Jiang Chen, he could only use this general explanation to get away with it.
Anyway, the treatment process is foolish enough, two nurses come and put the person in, just remember to change the culture medium regularly. To put it bluntly, it operates almost like a washing machine.
...
Not long after the news of Hawking becoming a new nationality spread, countries also made subtle adjustments in their policies towards the moon.
First of all, the United States, as the first and only country to send a living person to the moon, was preempted by the star ring trade to establish a colony on the moon, which obviously made them feel uncomfortable.
After many rounds of discussions, NASA finally persuaded Congress and got a budget of tens of billions of dollars. The White House announced the restart of the Apollo program, and NASA will join forces with SpaceX to resume exploration of the moon. It is reported that many high-tech companies including Google will also participate in this national project with a budget of tens of billions of dollars.
The European Space Agency is not far behind, announcing that it will hold a meeting in Darmstadt, Germany, to discuss plans to land on the moon as soon as possible. However, countries have not yet reached an agreement on who will pay for it. Although ESA is not linked to the European Union, the UK after Brexit is obviously quite indifferent to this project. Without the rich brother of the United Kingdom, it is difficult to squeeze out tens of billions of euros to invest in aerospace projects only by relying on the finances of France and Germany.
The director of the European Space Agency called on private companies to invest in the project, but it is still unknown whether anyone will invest in the case of uncertain commercial prospects.
Then there is Huaguo. The success of the Chang'e series of rockets has also made it quite confident in the field of landing on the moon. Not long after the meeting of the European Space Agency, the mysterious relevant department announced a new space white paper, which included the manned moon landing program as part of the national space strategy, and expected to launch the first manned moon landing spacecraft in 2030.
As for the Russian side, due to lack of funds and other reasons, it has not made any statement for the time being. However, the Kremlin said that if conditions permit, it will change the existing space program and include the moon landing as part of Russia's space activities.
Jiang Chen didn't feel threatened by the countries that were stimulated.
Even with the technology of Xinghuan Trading, he spent a lot of money in the sky to get to where he is now. Perhaps the United States is the second most promising country to achieve moon colonization, but by that day, the moon may already be full of colonies and mines for the star ring trade.
Even if they want to colonize, is there any place for them to settle down? (To be continued.)
