The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Yang Weimin's wife stood in front of Zhang Zhipeng and tears rolled down her cheeks before she even opened her mouth.

"Lao Yang, life is so painful..." she said.

Zhang Zhipeng sighed and said, "Teacher Yang is a role model for us scientists."

"What kind of treatment is he receiving now?"

Yang Weimin's wife wiped her tears and said, "I was treated with a targeted drug before, and it seemed to have some effect."

"It's just that, all of a sudden, that targeted drug is not so easy to buy."

"The organization has thought of many ways and has brought some from abroad at all costs, but it is still not enough."

"The doctor said that Lao Yang's disease has reached an advanced stage and there is no possibility of reversal."

"He probably doesn't have much time left."

"He now has to take a painkiller injection every two or three hours, otherwise he will be in so much pain that he can't sit or lie still."

"He was in so much pain, but he kept busy. It was really heartbreaking to see."

"Teacher Zhang, if you can help Lao Yang finish his current project, please help him so that he can go with peace of mind..."

As she spoke, Yang Weimin's wife burst into tears.

Zhang Zhipeng understood her thoughts.

She couldn't bear to see her husband suffering from illness every day.

The relatives find it a little unbearable to be suffering from the disease.

Of course, no one doesn't want their family to survive.

But if the quality of life is so low, as if you are being subjected to inhuman torture, it is better to end it early.

Zhang Zhipeng's mood was very complicated at this time.

Many human cancers are almost considered terminal illnesses today. If discovered early, the chance of survival is higher.

In the middle and late stages, the probability of survival is much lower.

Of course, if some antibody drugs are taken in a targeted manner, life expectancy can be extended.

China has huge shortcomings in cancer treatment drugs.

Nowadays, drugs for treating cancer are basically imported.

Foreign giants will indeed make some concessions in order to enter the huge market.

However, their pricing is still quite high.

Many medicines cost tens of thousands of yuan per bottle.

Ordinary people can't afford to survive at all.

Zhang Zhipeng felt that he should change this situation.

We should put more effort into anti-cancer drugs.

Why is the Lizard family, especially the Eagle family, so far ahead in many drug research and development?

Isn't it mainly because they have no bottom line at all?
In order to develop new drugs, those giant companies can conduct a large number of human experiments in poor countries.

In the eyes of pharmaceutical giants, any inhumane and awful thing can be done in order to make money.

In this case, what can Chinese companies use to compare with them?
"Auntie, what targeted therapy drug is Teacher Yang using now?" Zhang Zhipeng asked.

Yang Weimin’s wife said: “It’s mainly erlotinib tablets and other drugs.”

"But now the effectiveness of this drug is also decreasing."

"I have used almost all the medicines that can be used. I really want him to be well! If I can exchange my life for his, I would be willing to do so..."

Zhang Zhipeng sighed and said, "I will organize some experts to study it carefully and try to come up with some effective medicines."

"Auntie, don't be too sad. You must take care of yourself."

Yang Weimin's wife shook her head in pain: "It would be great if there was a special medicine! Unfortunately, we have searched all over the world and there is no medicine!"

“It’s not that easy to develop a specific drug.”

Zhang Zhipeng consoled her: "Science and technology are still developing rapidly. We will surely find a cure someday in the future."

"As long as we can improve Mr. Yang's living conditions now, make his life easier, and extend his life as much as possible for the future, wouldn't that be good enough?"

Yang Weimin's wife showed a glimmer of hope on her face: "It would be great if it could be like that."

"It would be great if he could stop suffering so much and eat and sleep normally."

"Teacher Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"

She now places her hopes on Zhang Zhipeng.

Because she felt that Zhang Zhipeng was a capable young man who was almost omnipotent.

Zhang Zhipeng was unsure.

What good solution could he come up with?

Now Yang Weimin's disease has spread almost all over his body.

There is cancer everywhere.

The malignant cells are devouring normal body cells.

In this situation, it is very difficult to defeat the disease.

Perhaps, by increasing the patient's immunity and allowing the patient's own body to burst out with amazing vitality, the disease can be repelled?

"I personally don't have a good solution for now. However, as soon as I return, I will immediately organize medical experts to conduct research and strive to produce results as soon as possible," said Zhang Zhipeng.

Yang Weimin's wife quickly nodded and thanked him: "Thank you! I hope you can create a medical miracle."

The two talked for a long time outside the ward.

In fact, Zhang Zhipeng was mainly comforting Yang Weimin's wife.

The door to the ward opened.

A young nurse came out and said, "Teacher Yang said that he has rested well and hopes to continue discussing the bionic drone with Teacher Zhang."

In fact, only about twenty minutes had passed.

This shows how anxious Yang Weimin was at this time.

He is eager to complete the project at hand as soon as possible.

Maybe he also knows that he doesn't have much time left?

Zhang Zhipeng walked into the ward.

Yang Weimin was already checking various information on the computer.

He was still instructing the students to make some corrections.

Yang Weimin was very happy to see Zhang Zhipeng coming in.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhipeng, for delaying your trip," said Yang Weimin.

Zhang Zhipeng also knew that Yang Weimin was holding on at this time relying on his amazing perseverance.

Perhaps Yang Weimin had an obsession in his heart at this time.

This obsession is: he must complete this important project.

If this project could be completed, maybe he would relax and be fine.

Zhang Zhipeng was very conflicted at this time.

He was thinking: Should I help Yang Weimin complete the project quickly?

If this project is not completed, Yang Weimin can still hold on with one breath.

If the project is completed, the person will be gone as soon as he breathes a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhipeng was extremely conflicted.

He and Yang Weimin continued to discuss the theory of bionic drones.

What shocked Zhang Zhipeng was that even though Yang Weimin was already terminally ill, his thinking was still very clear and his logic was very strict. Could this man be made of iron?

How could he have such a strong will?
During the conversation with Yang Weimin, it can be said that he was moved by the other party all the time.

After the discussion, Yang Weimin was obviously inspired by Zhang Zhipeng, and he began to arrange for students to start making bionic drones.

"Comrade Zhipeng, thank you very much. I have talked with you for so long today. You have given me a lot of inspiration."

Yang Weimin said to Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I can't help you much, but I hope your project can produce results soon!"

Yang Weimin said: "No, no, you helped me a lot."

"I know you have a busy schedule, so I won't keep you any longer."

Zhang Zhipeng was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say that he was leaving, but Yang Weimin knew to say this proactively.

This shows that he is a person who cares about others.

He felt guilty for wasting Zhang Zhipeng's time.

Zhang Zhipeng and Zheng Jingzhi left Yang Weimin's ward together.

Yang Weimin's wife's family sent her far away.

Yang Weimin's wife said, "Teacher Zhang, if you can really organize researchers to develop a drug that can improve the quality of life of patients, please let me know."

"Even if you want to test the medicine, you can try it on Lao Yang."

"I am really looking forward to a miracle happening now."

Zhang Zhipeng comforted her and said, "I will tell you as soon as possible! And I firmly believe that a miracle will happen."

After saying goodbye to Yang Weimin's family, Zhang Zhipeng and Zheng Jingzhi walked out of the inpatient ward building together.

Zheng Jingzhi sighed and asked, "Zhipeng, do you really think you can develop a specific drug for cancer?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled bitterly and said, "I hope to develop a specific drug for cancer, but I don't think the possibility is very high."

"I think the real cure-all should be the human body's immunity."

"As long as the immune system is strengthened, the ability to resist disease will naturally be strengthened, right?"

"I hope to develop a drug that can significantly improve immunity."

Zheng Jingzhi sighed again: "Alas! I guess Yang Weimin may not be able to hold on until then, right?"

"It's very difficult to develop a new drug. It takes a long time of research to get results."

"The New Year is coming soon, let's go back to Chang'an together."

Zhang Zhipeng accompanied Zheng Jingzhi back to Chang'an.

When they returned, they took a military plane and landed at a military airport.

On the way back, both of them felt a little heavy-hearted, so they didn't talk much.

After arriving in Chang'an, Zhang Zhipeng immediately ordered people to find all the anti-cancer drugs and drugs that enhance patients' immunity currently on the market.

He specially borrowed a laboratory from the School of Medicine of Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Although the New Year is almost here.

But Zhang Zhipeng turned down all other things and devoted his main energy to drug research.

In fact, the so-called anti-cancer drugs of the pharmaceutical giant Lizard are not complicated.

Zhang Zhipeng only needs to do some research and he can come up with the formula.

Don’t take it too easy when producing generic drugs.

The generic drugs produced by India mainly look at the ingredient list of Xifang Pharmaceutical Company, and then start to think about imitating the ingredients.

Even so, India's generic drugs are about to become an industry.

Zhang Zhipeng's research is much more awesome than that of Indian researchers.

Zhang Zhipeng can even add some other materials to the other party's formula and then create a new medicine.

Soon, in less than two days, Zhang Zhipeng improved several major drugs for treating pancreatic cancer and trial-produced new drugs based on his new formula.

Just when he was about to send someone on a special plane to Beijing to hand over these new drugs to Yang Weimin's family, Yang Weimin's wife called Zhang Zhipeng.

Yang Weimin’s wife told Zhang Zhipeng on the phone that Yang Weimin’s bionic drone had already been prototyped and the test results were quite good.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. Without your help and guidance, it would definitely not be so easy for Lao Yang to complete his last project."

"Old Yang passed away at about 3 a.m. this morning."

"When he left, he was emotionally stable and in a good mood. He only said one sentence to us: I'm leaving. Then he passed away suddenly."

When Zhang Zhipeng heard the news, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

God is jealous of talents!
Such an outstanding scientist who loved his country deeply passed away so early.

Zhang Zhipeng suppressed his inner sadness and comforted Yang Weimin's wife with a few words.

Yang Weimin's wife said: "I am not particularly sad. Everyone will die eventually."

"Old Yang is already 67 years old, and he has made a lot of contributions to the country and has made a small mark in history. His life is worth it."

After making this call, Zhang Zhipeng was overwhelmed with sobs.

He always felt that his help in helping Yang Weimin complete the project so quickly indirectly led to Yang Weimin's sudden death.

In fact, if I had allowed his results to come out a little slower, perhaps with the help of the new medicine I developed, Yang Weimin could have lived much longer, right?
But who knows how effective the new drug you developed is?
I'm afraid no one can guarantee this, right?
So, Zhang Zhipeng felt a little relieved. He felt that it was good enough that Yang Weimin could leave without any regrets.

Yang Weimin's memorial service was held at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing on February 2002, 2.

Zhang Zhipeng rushed over specially to participate.

On this day, many people rushed to see Yang Weimin off for the last time.

There are more than two thousand people.

At the memorial service, the leaders of Yang Weimin's unit recounted Yang Weimin's glorious life and gave him high praise.

The bionic drone project that he completed in his ward before his death was also rated as a national excellent project, and a certificate was awarded at the memorial service.

This is also a consolation for Yang Weimin!

What surprised Zhang Zhipeng was that he was also invited to go on stage and say a few words.

Zhang Zhipeng thought for a moment, then he walked to the front of the stage, bowed deeply to the crowd, and then said into the microphone: "Comrades, today is a sad day to bid farewell to Teacher Yang."

"I didn't interact with Teacher Yang much, but she left a deep impression on me."

"Especially, in the last moments of his life, my teacher Zheng Jingzhi and I went to visit him, and he was still working hard in the ward."

"Teacher Yang Weimin is a role model for each of us! He is a model for our scientific and technological workers!"

"Each of us should learn from him and take him as an example!"

"Teacher Yang passed away due to cancer, which made me realize that there is a shortcoming in our country's anti-cancer drugs!"

"Today, I want to announce something here. I will donate 10 billion to establish an anti-cancer drug research institute. We will devote all our efforts to researching anti-cancer drugs with our own intellectual property rights in the future! We want to enrich the people of the country and even the world!"

"I had this idea today mainly because of the inspiration from Professor Yang Weimin. I once hoped to develop a special medicine to prolong Professor Yang's life."

"But it's too late. Everything started too late!"

"The national anti-cancer drug research institute we are planning to build will be named after Professor Yang Weimin, and will be called the China Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute! We hope to receive support and help from all walks of life!"

"thank you all!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhipeng bowed deeply again.

"Wow!"

In the memorial hall, everyone began to applaud enthusiastically.

This shouldn't be an occasion for applause.

However, what Zhang Zhipeng announced was really awesome! (End of this chapter)
