Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 252, Collaboration with the University, a Patient

In mid-November 1962, a recruitment advertisement was posted on the bulletin board of the Tuao Nolinasun Mining Company's cafeteria, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

"Oh my god, the salary for mining in southern Africa is a whopping 3,800 Hong Kong dollars? That's too high, right? Is this true? With salaries this high, how can the company still make money?"

"Hey, what is the company planning to do? I don't understand."

"I heard there's chaos in southern Africa. I don't know if it's true or not. I wonder if anyone's going to die?"

The workers gathered in front of the bulletin board and started talking about the news.

The salary of HK$3,800 caused many workers to marvel. Many people who were short of money wanted such a salary because it was HK$1,300 higher than the HK$2,500 in Australia.

Such a high salary level directly increases the attractiveness.

In fact, the person in charge could not understand why Chinese had to be used as miners?

Is it not useful for local people?
In fact, Zhao Mancang had long known the locals. Although they were cheap labor, these blacks were not a hardworking people at all.

Especially in the following years, Martin Luther King, on Sam's side, launched the "I Have a Dream" speech, which only made these black people more rampant and lazy.

When this trend sweeps the world, the black people in southern Africa will definitely join in the fun.

Even without this trend, the local blacks are a time bomb, and other mining companies will also use some shady means.

Zhao Mancang doesn't want his mining company to go bankrupt, so he tries to avoid these things from happening at the root to ensure the stable production of minerals.

In addition, the reason why a group of people were transferred from Australia is that these workers are already familiar with the mining rules and need more money, so it will be easier to recruit them.

The situation in southern Africa is somewhat complicated. Zhao Mancang hopes to resolve it quickly and nibble away at it slowly. There is no need to act rashly, but he must take root here.

After ten days of busy work, it was early December and Zhao Mancang was ready to leave and return to Hong Kong Island.

Zuo Changsheng and his team stayed to help train the security team of Nolinasun Company and to help deal with possible accidents, so as to avoid the industry being attacked by competitors before production even started, which would be very disappointing.

In Hong Kong Island, an immigration wave has started again, simply because of the previous recruitment advertisement of Nolinasun Company, which has made many people want to get rich and complete the formalities to leave here.

Although there are many opportunities in Hong Kong Island, the wages here are not high.

It is already very good for an ordinary white-collar worker to have a salary of 800 to 900 yuan now. For a coolie, it is still around 1,000 to 1,200 yuan. This salary level is not low in Hong Kong Island.

Even skilled workers are divided into different grades, but the highest salary is only HK$2,000. Compared with a monthly salary of HK$3,800, many people are tempted.

In Hong Kong Island, an ordinary house costs only about 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars. With a monthly salary of 3,800 Hong Kong dollars, including food and accommodation, you can save 45,600 Hong Kong dollars in a year.

With the strength and reputation of Nolinasun Company, and the endorsement of the Island Development Bank, many people have great trust in it.

As a result, in less than half a month, more than 2,000 workers successfully registered, completed physical examinations, and arrived in southern Africa.

The second and third batches of workers will arrive in succession, allowing the branch in southern Africa to get back on track quickly.

So when Zhao Mancang returned to Hong Kong Island, the immigration wave here was already very hot.

"You mean someone is asking about our company?"

In the office, when Zhao Mancang heard the work report of Liang Zhigen, the head of the Australian Nolinasun Mining Company, he immediately frowned and confirmed with the other party again.

"Yes, Boss, I'm sure. This is what my employees reported to me. I didn't alert them, I just sent someone to secretly monitor them. Boss, what should we do next? Should we arrest them directly?"

Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, let's pretend we don't know about this and talk about it later."

It is indeed surprising that someone is asking about the Nolinasun Company, but this is definitely inevitable because this company is so big that it is difficult not to be noticed.

It’s just that all the procedures of this company are normal and there are no violations.

If there are any competitors or other people who want to cause trouble, we can just deal with them accordingly.

On the contrary, it would be frustrating if we caught all those people at this time but still couldn't find out who was the mastermind behind it.

After all, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.
The enemy is hiding in the dark and may give you a fatal blow at any time. Living in fear like this is even more uncomfortable.

It would be better to just monitor it and pretend you don’t know.

"By the way, strengthen security, do a good job of surveillance, and try to get as much evidence as possible without alerting the other party. Then we can fight back."

Zhao Mancang was not in a hurry at all. Even if something happened to the person in charge, Liang Zhigen, he would not be in a hurry.

He has plenty of ways to make these enemies eat as much as they want and spit out as much as they want, and even uproot them.

If the other party only uses normal, honest means and does not intend to use any underworld or shady means, then Zhao Mancang will also help the other party.

After dealing with this matter, he no longer cared about other small matters.

The only thing he needs to pay attention to in Hong Kong Island is the several auto repair shops. These businesses are not easy to set up and require a certain amount of time.

But what Zhao Mancang has the most is time.

At the Repulse Bay Villa, Zhao Mancang held the two brothers Zhao Zhicheng and Zhao Zhirui in his arms and coaxed them to sleep.

The two children were only two months old, so luckily they knew him as their father and didn't cry.

After staying in Hong Kong for about a week, Zhao Mancang returned to Beijing.

In the office in Guozi Lane, Zhao Mancang looked at the heavy snow outside the window, picked up the warm teacup, and took a sip.

On the side, Wei Huayong, Tie Wanzhong and others were drinking tea and chatting. The main topic was not what happened to Zhao Mancang and others in southern Africa this time, but the matter of the Indians on the plateau.

The Indians, who had been clamoring loudly before October, have now completely lost their temper because their country was almost destroyed.

The scene of Nehru's embarrassing escape from New Delhi was photographed and published in newspapers around the world, becoming the biggest joke of the entire November and December.

In October and early November, the world's most concerned topic was the nuclear crisis in the Crocodile Country, but now, Nehru's photo has become a new source of laughter.

The whole world knows about this, not to mention Wei Huayong and others.

After talking about this gossip, Zhao Mancang asked about Jiaolong School.

Everything is normal at Jiaolong School. After winter came, the students received their winter clothes and were very happy. They were very enthusiastic about studying.

"Really? Okay, I'll go check it out in a couple of days."

Zhao Mancang smiled and nodded, then chatted for a few more minutes before going home.

This time when he came back from outside, the leader of Lingjing Hutong did not come to pick him up, nor did he say anything.

It is likely that the more than 17 tons of gold that Tie Wanzhong and his team brought back can no longer attract the attention of the leaders.

Or maybe the leader has been paying attention to things in Tianzhu recently, so he didn't ask about Zhao Mancang's work.

Since his leader didn't ask, Zhao Mancang was happy to have some free time.

After staying at home for two days and playing with the little kids for two days, Zhao Mancang returned to his normal work after the third day.

In the Longxing Research Institute, Wei Changyuan, Hu Baoshan and others mentioned one thing to Zhao Mancang, that is, they have thoroughly mastered all the technologies of the satellite phone project, and the next step is to establish a production line and conduct trial production first.

After the Dongfanghong satellite is successfully launched, they can start production.

As long as there are satellites in the sky, even low-Earth orbit satellites, satellite calls can still be made, but the signal will be limited.

But no matter how restricted it is, as long as we launch a few more communication satellites above our Southeast University, satellite communication within the entire Southeast University will not be a problem.

As for how to pay for these satellites and how to implement the technology, those are issues that leaders and scientific researchers should consider.

"Okay, great, that's great. If that's the case, then go ahead and build the production line as quickly as possible, and then hurry up and complete the other projects."

Zhao Mancang was very happy and said very happily.

The satellite phone issue is urgent, but it cannot be rushed.

However, the Jiaolong Army still needs a lot of equipment, which needs to be completed quickly by the Longxing Research Institute.

Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the ultra-long-range transport aircraft. Although this thing is not something that Longxing Research Institute can handle, they can definitely help complete part of the task, right?
If there was an ultra-long-range transport plane, Zhao Mancang's trip to southern Africa for support would not have been so troublesome. The transit time alone would have been more than two and a half days, which was too long.

Any urgent rescue mission will be lost within two and a half days.

In addition, Zhao Mancang had previously proposed to research equipment such as lie detectors, signal jammers, and thermal imaging equipment. These are all high-tech equipment needed by the Jiaolong Army.

As for the drone project, wow, there is no movement at the moment.

After sending Wei Changyuan and the others away, Zhao Mancang found Professor Gan Guangde, who was in charge of the drone project. He now wanted to know the specific progress of the project.

"Director Zhao, you're pushing us too hard. How can a drone project be completed so quickly?"

Gan Guangde smiled bitterly and gave a brief report of the situation. After listening to it, Zhao Mancang fell silent.

The drone project was only launched at the end of March this year. In April, several scientific researchers were gradually added, and then it was gradually established.

"We haven't yet fully resolved the technical issues surrounding radio signal processing. Director Zhao, you previously provided us with frequency hopping, spread spectrum, channel coding, modulation, and other technologies, but these are all quite challenging for our technicians. Mastering them will still take time. The most critical issue is that we simply don't have enough people."

At this time, Gan Guangde spread his hands and said in embarrassment.

Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay, no problem. I'll go find the leader to resolve this matter and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

He knew that the drone project was very important and required many technological breakthroughs, so he had to connect all the technical personnel together, or seek cooperation with universities.

When Zhao Mancang thought of collaborating with a university, he immediately thought of Peking University. Why Peking University? Because it has the largest number of professors in China and is located in Beijing.

There are many universities in the entire capital, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Capital Institute of Technology, Capital Iron and Steel Institute, Capital Institute of Aeronautics, Capital Institute of Mining, Capital Institute of Petroleum, Capital Institute of Geology, Capital Railway Institute, Renmin University of China, etc. These are all very famous schools.

There are also foreign language colleges, etc. In short, the capital of this era has almost established a position that leads the country in university resources, and other provinces and cities cannot be compared with the capital at all.

"Since you're looking for a university to collaborate with, I'll go with you."

When Professor Gan Guangde heard this, he immediately spoke up. Zhao Mancang nodded and said that it would be even better if the other party followed him.

In the president's office in Yanyuan, Peking University, after the president and Zhao Mancang exchanged pleasantries, he said bluntly:
"Director Zhao, please stop targeting our school. All our teachers have been plundered by your Jiaolong School."

puff!

As soon as these words were spoken, Gan Guangde couldn't help laughing.

Gan Guangde had heard something about this matter. Although he was a researcher engaged in scientific research, it did not mean that he was ignorant of what was happening outside.

Whether it is the Jiaolong School or the earlier Longxing Research Institute, many researchers in these units are from Peking University.

Therefore, when it comes to taking advantage of others, no one can compare to Zhao Mancang.

"President, you are wrongly accusing us. Everyone knows that Peking University is the best university in the country, and you have so many talented people here."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang immediately smiled wryly and praised.

Of course, it is not entirely praise, because it is a well-known fact that Peking University has so many talents, and there is no need for Zhao Mancang to praise it.

But it is also true that Zhao Mancang took advantage of Peking University and poached many talents.

Faced with the principal's "strict defense", Zhao Mancang had no choice but to speak frankly and explain his purpose.

After hearing Zhao Mancang's purpose, the principal immediately asked curiously:

"Oh, then Director Zhao, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"President, it's very simple. We at Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization will provide the money, technical information, and even supplies, and you at Peking University will provide the people. Once you develop the technology and implement the production process, this project will be a success."

Drone technology involves all aspects. Not to mention the very sophisticated conventional drones of later generations, let’s just talk about the extremely advanced D21 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the s. This thing used an integral ramjet engine and early stealth coating. It was one of the most advanced drones at the time.

The D21 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is a high-performance UAV developed by Lockheed Martin based on the technology of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. It has a total length of meters, a wingspan of meters, a take-off weight of five tons, is equipped with a ramjet engine, and has a maximum speed of Mach .

Moreover, the flight altitude of this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can reach 24,000 to 27,000 meters. It is a very powerful model. In the 1970s of the original time and space, no air defense weapon, including SAM, could theoretically shoot down this aircraft.

Zhao Mancang and his team certainly cannot develop such an awesome drone for the time being, but they must make progress in the development of technology in this area.

What's more, Zhao Mancang's alias opened a Mario Aviation Company in Medford, Sam's neighborhood, and their company will also help develop related aircraft technology.

These technologies will be taken back by Zhao Mancang and handed over to the Longxing Research Institute to help implement production and even improve related technologies.

However, the UAV project team of Longxing Institute currently has only Professor Gan Guangde and a group of researchers following up, so Zhao Mancang and his team asked Peking University for help this time to complete part of the technical research and development work.

The overall aircraft design will definitely be completed by the Longxing Research Institute, the power system will be solved by Mario Aviation, and the onboard electronic part will be solved with the help of Peking University.

"This part of the technology includes automatic control systems, inertial navigation systems, navigation program systems and other related auxiliary systems. All of these require the help of technical researchers here at Peking University."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, the principal immediately smiled:

"No problem, we can help you solve these systems."

The principal quickly called in professors and experts in aviation, as well as professors engaged in computer research.

Peking University didn't have many aerospace professionals, as most of the talented ones had already been transferred away. The remaining ones had part-time jobs in related departments, which wasn't easy to come by. Professor Xu Xianyu from the Department of Computational Mathematics, along with Lin Jianxiang, Wu Wenda, Xu Cuiwei, and Chen Yonghe, had all arrived. Everyone gathered, waiting for Zhao Mancang to announce the relevant cooperation plan.

After all, research in these aspects of automatic control systems requires confirmation from these technicians.

It needs to be confirmed whether these scientific research projects can be completed without affecting teaching.

After Zhao Mancang took out the technical information, he did not participate anymore, but asked Professor Gan Guangde to communicate with them.

An hour later, Professor Xu Xianyu shook his head and said that the people they had at Peking University were definitely not enough, because they also had to take care of the school's teaching tasks, and the computer research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences would occasionally draw talents from their Peking University.

Although the Longxing Research Institute requires automatic control systems and other related systems and does not require Peking University to complete them entirely, the relevant technical exchanges and coordination also take time.

Most importantly, Zhao Mancang hopes that these technical problems can be resolved as soon as possible so that the drones can be put into place more quickly.

From this point of view alone, it is not that simple, so more technicians are needed.

Since more technicians are needed, Zhao Mancang has no choice but to look for help from other schools in Beijing. After all, there are so many universities in Beijing, so he will definitely be able to find some talents.

So in the next few days, Zhao Mancang and Gan Guangde were busy running around various universities.

However, after Zhao Mancang and his team had visited all these schools, there were still many gaps in technicians, because other projects that Wei Changyuan, Hu Baoshan, and Peng Xitian were responsible for, such as signal jammers and thermal imaging equipment, also lacked manpower. After learning about the actions of Zhao Mancang and Gan Guangde, they also hoped to cooperate with universities and transfer some of the technology.

The Longxing Research Institute is just starting out and there are not many technical researchers, so many technologies simply cannot be completed in a short period of time. Collaborating with universities to speed up research and development is indeed a very good solution.

"So you need to go to several universities in the Northeast to look for people?"

Hu Baoshan and Peng Xitian submitted their applications. After reading the applications, Zhao Mancang frowned and asked.

He was unfamiliar with the universities in Northeast China and didn't know how to deal with them. On the other hand, he didn't really want to go to Northeast China.

Because it’s too cold!
It is already December, the coldest season of the year. The outdoor temperature in Northeast China is at least minus ten to twenty degrees Celsius, and it gets even colder the further north you go.

It was the winter season and he finally had a vacation, so Zhao Mancang wanted to stay with his family and didn't want to go on a business trip to the Northeast.

Seeing Hu Baoshan and the other nod, Zhao Mancang immediately said:
"No problem. I'll talk to Director Gu and see how he arranges it."

The matter was settled, and Zhao Mancang didn't follow up on it any further. But two days later, Li Xiangxian came to Zhao Mancang with a sad face and said, "Director Zhao, the Chinese Academy of Sciences just called and said that the remote photoplethysmography method in our polygraphs is completely unnecessary."

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a top institution at the forefront of domestic scientific research, has been sentenced to death by it, and its research value is almost gone.

As the person in charge of the small project for the classification of lie detector equipment, it was normal for Li Xiangxian to lose confidence after receiving such a reply.

Zhao Mancang was speechless. Why was this not possible?
"Don't worry about those crazy people at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They just don't want to help. It doesn't matter. Without Butcher Zhang, do we have to eat hairy pigs?"

"Researcher Li, you have to believe that you are the best. There is no problem with these technologies. Just follow these technical documents one by one to replicate them. You will definitely be able to replicate them."

After comforting Li Xiangxian with a few words, Zhao Mancang coaxed him like a child.

However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not willing to help. The other party had better pray that they don’t ask to go to the Jiaolong Comprehensive Institution, otherwise, haha!
To be honest, Zhao Mancang has a big temper, but also a small one.

The people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are awesome, but they actually dare to look down on others. Haha, it would be better if they had such strength.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. It snowed heavily in the capital again. The snowflakes were so big that the snow in the yard was higher than the calves. Many houses collapsed and the primary school was closed.

The school was closed, and Zhao Huijun was so happy that she jumped around in the warm room.

It's winter and it's very cold outside. It's the best thing for little kids if they don't have to go out.

The little kid doesn’t need to go out, but Zhao Mancang can’t, he has to go to work.

He originally thought that he would just sit in the Guozi Lane office today and wait for the end of the get off work day bored, but it turned out not to be the case. At around nine o'clock in the morning, someone came from the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

"Hello, Dr. Zhao, we are sorry to bother you. We really have no other options. This patient is very different."

Wu Bingxin and Yan Shirong from the oncology department walked into the office. When they saw Zhao Mancang, their faces were filled with surprise, as if they had found a life-saving straw.

According to Wu Bingxin and others, the cancer patient who came to their hospital for treatment this time had a very different identity. He was a scientific research expert in the army, and his superiors had issued an order that his life safety must be guaranteed.

At first, Wu Bingxin and others did not take it seriously. After all, the PLA General Hospital was originally affiliated with the army and was the best hospital in the country. The leader had given the order, so they just had to try their best to complete it.

However, after they contacted and examined the patient's physical condition, they found that this time the condition was extremely complicated, and Wu Bingxin and others were not sure.

After all, Yan Shirong had performed several operations with Zhao Mancang and learned something from him. And since Wei Shouchang was cured two years ago, Yan Shirong has been an expert in the field of cancer surgery and has performed many operations.

However, Yan Shirong's surgical success rate was not high, only reaching 62%, unable to reach 80%, or even above 90%.

But this time, the leader required a success rate of more than 99.9%, otherwise they would be in trouble.

Several medical experts came from the Health Bureau and they also suggested using traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate the symptoms. However, more than half a year has passed and traditional Chinese medicine does have an effect, but it is impossible to completely suppress the growth of cancer cells.

In other words, according to the current effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, given the patient's condition, the patient can live for a little more than three years at most.

This is already the most optimistic result of traditional Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, this result was not what the military leaders wanted. They repeatedly pressed the Health Bureau and the General Hospital, asking if there was no other way?
Two years ago, in 1960, Zhao Mancang had already introduced radical surgical treatments for pancreatic cancer, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, to treat cancer cases before the middle and late stages of pancreatic cancer.

If it is Zhao Mancang, then all patients with advanced cancer may be cured by him.

After all, Wei Shouchang's illness at the time was advanced pancreatic cancer, and he only had a few months left to live. Wei Huayong almost died.

There is also the patient Lian Qiufang, who was supervised by Zhao Mancang and treated by Yan Shirong. The latter's condition was in the middle to late stage at the time, but in the end she was cured. Now both Lian Qiufang and Wei Shouchang are still alive and well.

This also shows that Zhao Mancang’s skills in the medical field are indeed impeccable.

Since Zhao Mancang was so capable, the military leaders invited Wu Bingxin and others to come and help treat this special patient.

"Are your hands so unsteady?"

After understanding the situation, Zhao Mancang asked a question. Yan Shirong was very embarrassed. After all, he was the surgeon in charge, and his mentality was indeed a little unstable when he was told that by the former.

It has been almost two years, and it seems that Yan Shirong has not yet become a master. When encountering such patients, he still needs the "master" Zhao Mancang to come out.

"Let's go and have a look."

Zhao Mancang didn't say anything else, but agreed readily. Now it was Wu Bingxin and Yan Shirong's turn to be dumbfounded. They looked at the former in surprise, and then led the way.

When Zhao Mancang and his team arrived at the general hospital, the ward was already crowded with people, some of whom were actually from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After seeing several professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhao Mancang was immediately happy:

"Professor Zhou, Professor Yi, Professor Ke, what a coincidence, you are all here?"

Ke Zanyuan, Zhou Jinzhi and Yi Junhao are all scientific researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhao Mancang had visited them before, and they were all very proud because Zhao Mancang was the leader of the Jiaolong Army. Although he also managed the Longxing Research Institute, he was not an intellectual, so it was normal for Ke Zanyuan and others to look down on him.

In fact, Zhao Mancang did not take it seriously at that time. He just wanted to help Hu Baoshan and others solve the problem of shortage of some technical personnel as soon as possible, and contacted various universities and some scientific research institutions in Beijing for help.

He is indeed not an intellectual and does not need to understand these things. As long as these people can help solve the problem, that's enough.

So does it matter whether the other party looks up to him?

Not important at all!
Originally, Zhao Mancang thought that the situation would change in a few years. When the time came, he would take action to rescue these people back to Longxing Research Institute, which would surely make Ke Zanyuan and others grateful.

Unexpectedly, I have encountered it now.

"Haha, it's quite a coincidence."

Ke Zanyuan and the others looked a little unnatural, because they knew Wu Bingxin and Yan Shirong, and they also knew that the latter two were the ones who went out to ask for a great doctor. Now they came back, but they only brought back Zhao Mancang, so Ke Zanyuan and the others had already guessed something in their hearts.

But they still had illusions in their hearts. What if Zhao Mancang was not the person Wu Bingxin and the others were looking for?

However, before Ke Zanyuan and the others could speak, Yan Shirong had already come to the patient and began to give Zhao Mancang a detailed introduction, and the latter had already started taking the patient's pulse.

There were quite a few people in the ward, and everyone was staring at Zhao Mancang and Yan Shirong.

At this time, anyone who is not a fool would know that Yan Shirong was reporting and asking for advice from Zhao Mancang, whose medical skills were obviously superior to Yan Shirong's.

But how is this possible?
Especially Zhou Jinzhi, Yi Junhao and Ke Zanyuan, their expressions turned pale and then blue, and finally they opened their eyes wide, frowned, and refused to believe what they saw.

"Well, I already know the general situation, but didn't I teach you the details of the resection before? Why are you still not sure?"

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Yan Shirong lowered his head and said embarrassedly:

"Doctor Zhao, I'm really not sure because my superiors have told me many times, and Dr. Hua from the Health Bureau has already given the patient Chinese medicine treatment, but the effect is not very good."

"Compared to six months ago, the patient's symptoms are more severe now, and I am even less confident."

Yan Shirong had to be frank, even though there were many people in the ward. If he said that, it would make him, the surgeon, lose face.

But compared to losing face, Yan Shirong was more afraid of killing the patient, which would definitely get him into a lot of trouble.

It was simply because he wasn't very confident, and based on his past success rate in treating similar cases, not only did his leaders not believe him, he himself didn't have the confidence either.

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang was silent for a while and said:

"In that case, let's wait for half a month."

He didn't say much, because today and tomorrow were not suitable for surgery, he needed to prepare, and the patient himself also needed to prepare a thing or two.

For most cancer patients, after learning that they have cancer, especially pancreatic cancer, it is extremely difficult to detect. Once it is discovered, it is almost always in the late stage. In other words, once this type of disease is discovered, the patient can basically be sentenced to death.

This is also the main reason why Yan Shirong's surgical success rate in treating such cases is not high.

After receiving the doctor's verdict, these patients' mentality will explode. In order to cure them, Zhao Mancang must use the "psychological strategy".

We must give these people hope and let the patients adjust their mindset.

"Why wait half a month? Can't we get treatment right away?"

Upon hearing this, the patient He Changyun frowned and asked, and Ke Zanyuan beside him also echoed and asked:

"Yes, Director Zhao, Mr. He's condition isn't optimistic to begin with. According to Doctor Yan and the others, he probably only has about three years left. But who knows if that's really the case? Pancreatic cancer is very difficult to treat abroad. It's only in the last one or two years that we've been able to treat it here in China."

Hearing the questions from He Changyun and Ke Zanyuan, Zhao Mancang just smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to explain.

On the contrary, he looked at Zhou Jinzhi and asked:

"Professor Zhou, I wonder what you think? I remember visiting you at your office last Tuesday, and you seemed to have said at the time that drones were too advanced and that we wouldn't be able to develop them domestically within 20 years. You also said that instead of wasting time on useless drone projects, we should be researching bombers and fighter jets, aircraft more suitable for our current national conditions, right?"

What are you doing?

Changing the subject shouldn't be so abrupt, right?

Ke Zanyuan, Yi Junhao, He Changyun and others frowned, wondering what Zhao Mancang meant by asking this question.
Was it because of the response Zhou Jinzhi and the others had given him? Or was it because Ke Zanyuan and the others had looked down on Zhao Mancang, and now Zhao Mancang was retaliating?

But Zhao Mancang is the leader of an organization after all, so he shouldn't be so magnanimous, right?
"Director Zhao, we're discussing Professor He's condition right now. You and I are discussing the technical aspects of drones. There seems to be no connection between the two, right?"

Zhou Jinzhi's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and asked back.

Zhao Mancang remained smiling throughout. "Professor Zhou, I'm not sure you're an authority on drone technology, but I can say a few words about pancreatic cancer treatment technology."

"Last week, you said that our Longxing Research Institute might not be able to complete the drone project in 20 years, and that it would be better to research bombers and fighter jets, aircraft more suitable for our national conditions. Haha, now I just said that I have to perform surgery on Professor He in two weeks, and you can't bear it?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Zanyuan immediately retorted, "How can this be the same? Professor He is now critically ill. If it weren't for Dr. Hua and the others from the Health Bureau who intervened, it's doubtful whether he would have lived to see another three years!"

"And these drones you mentioned, Director Zhao, are already too advanced. Given our current domestic situation, researching drones is definitely not as practical as researching bombers and fighter jets."

In other words, their discussion was limited to the topic of drones. In addition, they were now in the ward of the PLA General Hospital and did not need to worry too much about the leakage of these secrets.

Otherwise, as soon as Zhao Mancang mentioned the drone, he would probably have been stopped by the military leader who had remained silent.

"Why is it different?"

Zhao Mancang laughed:
"There aren't many patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year. Instead, there are more patients diagnosed with other cancers. Furthermore, pancreatic cancer is very difficult to treat. Even with radical surgical treatments like pancreaticoduodenectomy, the success rate isn't guaranteed. Professor Ke, based on your theory, shouldn't we be researching other conditions that are more suitable for current patients, rather than focusing on pancreatic cancer?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ke Zanyuan and the others fell silent.

He Changyun's face became even gloomier when he heard this. He became even more anxious and couldn't help but glare at his old friends like Ke Zanyuan: He is really capable of causing trouble but is unable to accomplish anything.

Ke Zanyuan and the others also felt quite aggrieved. Isn't Zhao Mancang too petty?
The troop leader on the side suddenly said:

"Comrade Mancang, that's about it. I know it's not easy for you at the Longxing Research Institute. So, how about I give you three of our university student quotas next year?"

When Zhao Mancang heard this, he immediately agreed with great joy. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

"Thank you, leader. You are such a good person."

The leader was at a loss for words and said, "Alright, stop joking. Can you perform surgery on Professor He right now? His body really can't wait. And not only that, our army has many projects waiting for Professor He to return and lead."

"When is the right time?"
