I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Unfamiliar conference room, familiar people.

Secretary Zhao was there, listening to Johnson arguing with him.

Mr. Johnson's speaking level was as high as ever: "Although Huaguo's withdrawal from ICGEB violates the international spirit and the United Nations agreement, after negotiation, we are willing to let Huaguo rejoin regardless of the past."

Secretary Zhao narrowed his eyes: "If I remember correctly, ICGEB has a 'scientific and technological achievements sharing agreement'..."

"Yes," Johnson replied grandly, "At the beginning, ICGEB was established for the scientific and technological progress of all mankind. If Huaguo is willing to disclose the technology related to 'Xun'an', this year's research funding can be exempted."

Secretary Zhao: "The scientific and technological progress of all mankind is indeed a major event!"

"Indeed."

Johnson has a look of "you are very conscious".

Secretary Zhao: "If your country is willing to share the Intel Group's central processing unit manufacturing technology with all mankind, we also don't mind sharing the gene therapy technology."

The central processing unit is the CPU, and its technology has been monopolized by foreign countries.Hua Guo needs to spend tens of billions of dollars to buy chips every year, and national information security cannot be guaranteed, and the United States also imposes economic sanctions on China by restricting chip exports at every turn.

The country itself has spent countless sums trying to develop its own chips.However, at present, there is only one state-owned enterprise with relatively mature chip self-development capabilities.

The high-tech field has always been a pain point for Huaguo.

Johnson: "With all due respect, gene therapy technology is not worth so much money."

Secretary Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Johnson, in 2018, there were 1810 million new cancer patients and 910 million deaths in the world. According to the statistics of the American Cancer Society, no matter how the economy develops, there are still [-]/[-] cancer patients. Men and one in ten women are at risk of developing the disease*. Not only have we solved cancer to a great extent, but we can also use the same method to solve countless intractable diseases that have plagued human history. Chief designer Joe has begun to design new topics, Presumably, mankind will soon usher in a brighter and better future."

The smile on Johnson's face slowly turned dark.

Indeed, if one can master this advanced technology, even if the economic value cannot be compared with that of CPU in a short period of time, in the long run, it will definitely make it difficult for most foreign high-end pharmaceutical industries to survive.

What's more, Huaguo can't just use it for cancer treatment...

Things seem to be getting worse.

However, Johnson will not give in: "If Huaguo rejects our olive branch, I am afraid it will only further intensify international conflicts. The Chinese people have always claimed to be a peaceful and friendly nation. In Blue Star, we are all a community of destiny. The country should also make its due contribution to the development of mankind."

It sounds like an old hermaphrodite, and she is so relaxed and relaxed.Those who didn't know thought Mi Guo was the poor little bullied.

To be honest, engaging in diplomacy requires this kind of shameless spirit.In the last century, Hua Guo's diplomats were also very shameless, shyly begging for materials and help.

Master Li of the Qing Dynasty went to sign the agreement before, and was shot by angry youths in the island country. During the discussion, he directly said that he wanted [-] million silver in medical expenses as compensation.From the perspective of the people of the island country, it is also very shameless. *

It is a good thing for diplomats to be shameless, but it is hard to suffer if they want to lose face.After all, the money does not belong to oneself, and using the country's money to pretend to be rich is a foolish behavior.

But as a diplomat with a different stand, facing such a shameless person, I really want to spit on him.

Secretary Zhao smiled gently: "Mr. Johnson still likes to joke so much. Our conditions have already been set here, and the rest depends on whether your country is willing to discuss in detail."

…………

In this negotiation meeting, there were a total of 26 delegations from the two sides, and they had a week of secret discussions, but they failed to negotiate.

The bottom line of the United States is that it cannot be exchanged for technology, and is willing to spend money to buy it; while the bottom line of China is that it will not sell it, and can only barter it.

In the end, the two parties broke up unhappy.

Johnson got on the private plane back to Washington, and his expression was unpredictable: "This group of lowly Chinese people, we shouldn't let Chinese students come to our school to study. Back then, those who made the atomic bomb did the same; now , this group of people doing gene therapy is also..."

When Song Tianyu graduated, he planned three routes for himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't use any of them.

As soon as he graduated, he was summoned by the country to do a clinical trial... Yes, it was the targeted drug.

No way, the hospital is short of people.

There are 20 patients in Song Tianyu's group, all of whom are in the middle and late stage of gastric cancer. When they came, their faces were lifeless.

There are also people with a better mentality, pulling Song Tianyu to talk about family matters: "I'm going to die anyway, and if I die here, I will dedicate my life to science... But Doctor Song, can you not have an autopsy after death? I still want to be cremated."

Song Tianyu had no choice but to explain: "Don't think too much, it's not that scary."

It's like keeping up with the slaughterhouse, and you have to hug your relatives and friends and cry before you come.

In the treatment center, there is no communication with the outside world, and patients will wear hospital gowns to exchange information with each other.

"The one in the next bed seems to be lung cancer. The family members are dead and sent in as a living doctor."

"I don't seem to see Lao Li today...? Is he discharged from the hospital, or is he gone?"

"I heard that I received the first stage of treatment, the condition changed, and I changed places."

"I heard that the drug was poisonous, and it was used to demonstrate against foreign forces. If it didn't work, I insisted it was successful."

"You have eaten it for half a month, do you think it is poisonous?"

The person who spoke said embarrassingly, "It's not dead anyway."

It is said that there is no big thing outside of life and death, but life and death here are also very rare and ordinary.

Everyone has survived many patients and died, and they no longer dare to have high expectations.

However, with more and more good news, the entire treatment center is no longer so lifeless.

It is not without reason that Yanjing's pharmaceutical company was selected for production.Yanjing already has the largest cancer treatment center in the country, which is convenient for clinical trials, and Qiao Yu's laboratory is also here. If there is any problem, it is also convenient for timely adjustment.

As the attending doctor, Song Tianyu lived a hard life from five to nine. Every day when he went home, he was so tired that he couldn't keep his eyelids open.

But he also liked to cling to Qiao Yu, so every day after washing, Qiao Yu leaned against the bed to read the paper, while Song Tianyu squinted his eyes to sleep.

The way he patted Song Tianyu on the back to put him to sleep was very much like an old father who put his child to sleep; he also seemed to be stroking a dog and a cat.

Qiao Yu's note to Song Tianyu was "Daddy's baby".

Every time I see this kind of scene, the system is very confused, whether the accent written by Qiao Yu is on the word "baby" or the word "er".

Perhaps, for Qiao Yu, it's all the same.

Song Tianyu closed his eyes and chatted with Qiao Yu: "Most of the patients are not well-off. Moreover, many targeted drugs are not covered by medical insurance, so they can't afford the medicines. They were planning to die when they heard that the treatment center recruited patients for clinical work." The experiment came without paying.

"Now in the second phase of the trial, the treatment center receives only patients with advanced cancer. The major hospitals cooperate with pharmaceutical companies to let patients choose whether to take medicine or not... In our treatment center, people die of illness every day. There are also those who have deteriorated. , is now under control.

"By the way, there are still many people in our treatment center who wrote thank you letters to you. I don't know how to send them to you. In the end, they found out that you and I are classmates, and they all stuffed them into my office. Do you want to read them? I'll send them to you. bring……"

Qiao Yu thought for a while: "No need, you can tell them what you want and I'll take it."

Song Tianyu: "I suddenly remembered something. A patient secretly hid medicine and was going to take it away. It was said that someone outside bought it by the thousand and one pills... At that time, people from foreign countries will definitely come to buy the medicine. Will the ingredients be leaked?"

Because the workshop of Beijing Pharmaceutical Group has not been remodeled, mass production of targeted drugs has not yet begun.The medicines distributed to them by the state are free, but the average cost of one pill is definitely more than one thousand.

Qiao Yu is not very worried about this: "Don't worry, even if you know the ingredients, you can't make it."

For example, everyone knows that penicillin is penicillin, but how many people know how penicillin is made?

Song Tianyu didn't speak for a long time, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he muttered in a low voice: "I think I saved the Milky Way in my previous life, so I have the opportunity to fall in love with you."

But Qiao Yu heard it.

He replied: "In your previous life, you didn't save the galaxy, you only saved me."

In September, Qiao Yu received news that the factory had been built, and asked him if he wanted to take a look.

In order to build this workshop, academicians from the Huaguo Academy of Engineering next door worked in person and worked overtime for several months before the first batch was completed, and the cost was extremely high.

However, if it can be produced in large quantities, the high cost is worth it.

For this reason, Huaguo also began to build momentum in the international arena.

Currently, this targeted drug is going through the approval process of the China National Medical Products Administration.

Generally speaking, it takes three to five months to pass the clinical trial, but under the supervision of the above, this time the efficiency is extremely high, only missing the last chapter.

On the Internet, many foreign scholars have jumped out, expressing doubts about the safety of this drug.

Among them, the most vicious jumper is the current husband of Professor Tan's ex-wife, Dr. Mike.

Dr. Mike is extremely arrogant. With the support of the US government behind him, he has shouted at Qiao Yu many times.

It's just that Qiao Yu doesn't care about him.

There's no need either, with Mike's status, responding to his accusation is just to give him credit.

Professor Ye Qinxue, who has been retired for a long time, appreciated his behavior: "Don't be influenced by foreign public opinion, we all support you."

Zhao Xuebu also contacted him: "The process of the award you set is almost done. By the way, next month's National Day military parade, do you want to come and see it?"

Fearing that Qiao Yu would be ignorant, Zhao Heping specifically explained: "The location is on the city tower. I have been there before, and the view is very good. If you want to go, please tell Xiao Liu, and I will arrange it for you."

Qiao Yu glanced at the location arrangement, it was in the back row in the middle of the city tower, and the people next to it were all winners of the National Highest Science and Technology Award.

Qiao Yu said, "Let me think about it."

Zhao Heping said with a smile: "Other people will not come if they want to, you have to think about it!"

"It's mainly because I'm alone, and the people around me are dozens of years older than me. I'm sorry...Can I bring my family?"

Zhao Heping: "I am the master, let you bring one."

Qiao Yu called first and asked Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue let out an "ah" and replied, "A new store will be opened on National Day, and my mother may not be free, so you and Xiao Song can go."

She is too old to be the light bulb.

Qiao Yu thought about it, but just didn't know where to go for a date on the National Day, and going to *** to watch the military parade was quite romantic.

So I agreed.

On October 10st, Song Tianyu got up early.

Because the treatment center is too far away from home, it takes three hours to drive back and forth, and the tasks are becoming more and more heavy, Song Tianyu has been living directly in the dormitory recently.

He received a text message from Qiao Yu a few days ago, Qiao Yu said that he would take him on a date for the National Day, and meet the world by the way.

For this reason, Song Tianyu specially asked for leave.It took a lot of effort to find someone to take a rest.

Song Tianyu was skeptical about the idea of ​​"seeing the world".

His family is relatively rich, and he can do many things with money. Whether it is going to the Antarctic to see penguins or the Arctic to watch killer whales, he has been there a few years ago.

But it was rare that Qiao Yu offered to go on a date.

Song Tianyu had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what he saw later, he had to show an expression of shock and surprise, so as not to hurt Qiao Yu's painstaking efforts!

At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, a black jeep parked downstairs.

Song Tianyu got into the car and found that Qiao Yu was wearing a tunic suit today.

Don't say it, it's pretty cool.

It's just that Song Tianyu is dressed younger, so looking at it this way, it looks more like a father with a son.

It's been a while since I saw Qiao Yu, Song Tianyu was very excited along the way.

I touched and touched the ring box in my pocket, but I didn't know when it would be appropriate to take it out.

Since the two of them established their relationship, they get together less and leave more, and the long-distance relationship accounts for the vast majority of time.

Aside from a lab date, this was probably a real first date.

The car was driving, and there were fewer and fewer cars around.

"Qiao Qiao," Song Tianyu was a little confused, "Why does this direction look like going to *** Square? Isn't the road over there closed?"

Qiao Yu's expression was very calm: "Go to the tower to watch the military parade. You don't have to be too nervous, that side is full of scientists, and the leaders are on the other side. I don't think they will come over. And our position is quite far behind. Talk to the media I said hello, and I won’t come to take pictures.”

Song Tianyu was stunned for a moment, wishing he could go back and change his clothes now: "This is truly a world I have never seen before."
