  Chapter 609 Possibility of controlling cancer progression

   "Wild Rice"

  In the ward.

  Hearing this question raised by Yang Kaiqu.

  Li Jue, who had just pulled up a chair and sat down, turned to look at his assistant Zhou Cai, and motioned to Zhou Cai:

   "Xiao Zhou, please show Academician Yang the document you sent earlier. Academician Yang is qualified to have access to this kind of document."

  Zhou Cai nodded to Li Jue, put the briefcase in his hand on the table, unzipped the clasp and rummaged through it a few times.

   After a while.

  Zhou Cai took out a very thin document, about half a centimeter in size, and wrapped it with a piece of kraft paper to prevent damage.

  Zhou Cai flipped through it briefly to make sure that there was nothing else mixed in, then handed it to Yang Kaiqu respectfully.

  Yang Kaiqu put on reading glasses when he saw this, shook the document with style, and read it seriously.

at the same time.

  Considering that Yang Kaiqu may not be able to fully concentrate because of his illness, Li Jue made an introduction while Yang Kaiqu was reading the information:

   "Comrade Kaiqu, after comprehensively referring to the materials reported by Advisor Han Li, the organization attaches great importance to this wild rice plant that you accidentally discovered."

   "About three days ago, the capital sent a team to the Sandieling Waterfall in Baise, and sampled and sealed all the wild rice near the waterfall."

   "At the same time, the capital has also begun to formally discuss the feasibility of rice hybridization, and has notified Academician Hou Guangjiong that they have written related written texts."

  Students with good memory should remember.

  At that time, Wang Ensheng, the person in charge of the Human Armed Forces Department of Jingxi County, and Chen Shutong of the Institute of Insects were ordered to lead a team to Sandieling Waterfall to collect black soldier flies.

  At that time, Chen Shuyi accidentally discovered a wild rice colony beside the waterfall, with as many as seven or eight plants.

  At that time, Chen Shutong didn't know the value of these male sterile plants because of his professional incompetence, so he just picked a random one as a sample, thinking about going back to exchange for some money.

  But now that the organization knows about this, it is naturally impossible for the remaining wild rice to escape.

  According to what Li Jue learned.

   There were as many as nineteen wild male sterile plants of the so-called [Yanbaji] collected by the second batch of task force.

   That's right.

  Nineteen strains.

  Except for the gathering point of seven or eight male sterile plants discovered by Chen Shutong.

  The collection team found two other small communities consisting of four and seven male sterile plants, tens of meters away from this gathering point.

  According to the analysis of Xiong Yi, another well-known soil scientist, there should be a first-generation plant on top of the three male sterile plant communities.

  The first generation of this plant shed a lot of seeds when it was alive, and these seeds were brought to the surrounding woods by the local herbivores in the waterfall, and finally formed these three communities.

Of course.

   That first-generation copy must have withered long ago to the point that there is no ashes left, but the second-generation copies it left behind are still extremely valuable.

   Then Li Jue paused and continued:

   "Comrade Kaiqu, according to the information I have learned, if nothing else happens, the capital may choose a place in the south to grow rice."

   "There are currently three preliminarily determined areas, namely Qionghai, Xiangchu, and Rongcheng Plain."

   "Comrade Kaiqu, what do you think about the site selection for this area?"

Da da-

  Yang Kaiqu heard the words and tapped his index finger on the chair a few times, muttering:

   "Qionghai, Xiangchu, Rongcheng Plain? These are all good places."

   "But if I have to choose, my suggestion is to go to Qionghai."

   "Qionghai?"

  Li Jue raised his eyebrows, he thought Yang Kaiqu would recommend Rongcheng Plain where he worked:

"Why?"

   I don’t know if it’s because of teaching and educating people for a long time.

  After hearing why, Yang Kaiqu suddenly became a little interested, and sat up a little bit upright with the pain, explaining:

   "Director Li, you are engaged in industry, so you may not know much about rice as a crop."

   "Rice is a plant that is extremely picky about the environment, especially the seedlings are not easy to survive. According to our experience, the lowest temperature for its growth is generally 12°C, and the optimum temperature is about 32°C."

  “If the temperature is lower than 12℃, the roots and buds will stop growing, and the whole plant will die.”

"In addition, the next generation of rice breeding has stricter temperature requirements. The optimum temperature in flowering, pollination and other processes is 25-30°C. Below this temperature, a large number of empty grains may appear, resulting in a large reduction in production. "

   "In addition to temperature, rice also has strict requirements for sunshine. Looking at the territory of China, places such as Sanya and Ledong in Qionghai should be the most suitable areas for rice test fields."

  Hearing Yang Kaiqu's words, Xu Yun's eyes suddenly showed a hint of admiration.

  Research on hybrid rice in China is still in its infancy these days. Most people think that the best place to grow rice should be in the south of the Yangtze River or the Yangtze River Basin.

   There are farms in Qionghai, but they mainly cultivate corn seeds and sorghum, which is the prototype of Nanfan Farm.

But in fact.

  The most suitable place for rice hybridization is actually Qionghai, the reason is the temperature and sunshine mentioned by Yang Kaiqu—the sunshine is a hidden pit.

  In the original history.

  Before Yuan Guoliang discovered the wild sterile plants, no one was able to technically breed hybrid rice, so many people thought that the sunshine of hybrid rice was similar to that of most native rice.

  But it was not until the hybrid rice project started that everyone discovered that the second to fifth generations of hybrid rice have extremely fine requirements for sunshine.

  After searching all over China, only Qionghai was the most suitable place, so Yuan Guoliang moved his team to Nanjiang Farm in Qionghai.

  The above sentence seems flimsy, but the Yuan Guoliang team paid a high price for four years.

  Therefore, Yang Kaiqu's insightful words at this time are enough to show his ability and experience.

  But when you think about it carefully, it's normal.

  After all, Yang Kaiqu's experience is extraordinary, and even the whole of China may be the only one.

  Yang Kaiqu wrote an article "The Last Base of National Rejuvenation: Sichuan Province's Current Rice Planting Income Increase Plan" in 1936. The whole book has more than 20,000 words. At the same time, he has been planting ratooning rice in the rear during the Anti-Japanese War.

   According to the situation of later generations.

  Academician Yang Kaiqu's vision is no longer limited to the agricultural field.

  In a sense, it can even be said to be a judgment at the strategic level.

  Now when it comes to the site selection of hybrid rice, Yang Kaiqu once again demonstrated this ability.

   On the other side of him, upon hearing Yang Kaiqu's introduction, Li Jue nodded subconsciously.

   Then he silently remembered these words of Yang Kaiqu in his heart, and prepared to write a report to report when he went back.

   After a while.

  Yang Kaiqu raised another question:

   "Director Li, I wonder how long it will take for the organization to approve this project?"

   This time.

  Li Jue showed some hesitation on his face, this question is a bit out of line for him:

   "Comrade Kaiqu, to tell you the truth, I really don't know much about this, at least I haven't received any notification about it so far."

   "However, according to Comrade Hou Guangjiong's progress and my understanding of rice, the project should probably be approved before the spring of next year."

   Li Jue's tone is not particularly firm, but it is not particularly unassuming.

   After all, although he doesn't know the organizational ideas, he remembers one thing:

  Although the planning project of the hybrid rice project was written by Hou Guangjiong, the preliminary report was made by Xu Yun, a consultant.

  The value and trust of Xu Yun has reached a level that even Li Jue finds it difficult to understand.

  Every proposal of Xu Yun will get a response from the capital almost immediately.

  Although the people responsible for the response are not very high-level, and even Liu Bosheng rarely appeared on the scene recently, the will of these people is obviously at the level of the sky.

  In addition, rice crops need to be sown in spring, so Li Jue has a premonition:

   If there are no accidents, the organization will establish a project in the spring of next year.

   "Next spring?"

  Yang Kaiqu murmured and repeated the time, then looked up at Li Jue:

   "Director Li, can I still live until then?"

   Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously let out a few "ah".

  The reaction was not panic, but it could be seen that Yang Kaiqu's words were indeed beyond his expectations.

  Looking at Li Jue with a stiff expression, Yang Kaiqu smiled calmly:

   "Director Li, I'm not a fool. Dr. Lin Yu took you there and back within half an hour after checking the bed. Obviously there is another reason."

   "You and Comrade Youlai are very busy people. When you came, you brought a bag of apples, and there were some fake smiles on your face."

   "Plus the feedback from my own body. If I still can't guess something, then my age is useless."

   "Tell me, how long can I live with my physical condition? Three months?"

  “.”

  Li Jue was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then exhaled heavily:

   "About. Eight months."

  “.Eight months.”

  Yang Kaiqu glanced at the report in his hand, then suddenly took off his reading glasses, and gently rubbed his nose.

   After about half a minute, he spoke again:

   "To tell you the truth, Director Li, I'm not really afraid of death."

  "After my health problems occurred at the beginning of this year, I started to prepare for the funeral. Now I have almost done what I should instruct and hand over. Even if the research group is gone, I can still operate as usual."

   "If I really want to say who I owe, then only my lover is left, but the relationship between me and her came from the time of the Anti-Japanese War, and it has long surpassed life and death. I have guilt but no regrets."

   "But now I feel a little bit reluctant to die."

  I saw Yang Kaiqu lightly pick up the teacup with the words Factory 221 engraved on the table with the palm of his hand, and put it in front of him for a while:

   "I first saw the wild male sterile plants I had dreamed of, and hybrid rice suddenly became promising."

   "Then at Base 221, I found out that we are actually working on an atomic bomb!"

   "It's a pity, it's a pity that I can neither see the birth of hybrid rice nor hear the sound of the atomic bomb explosion."

  When I said these words.

  Yang Kaiqu, who had been extremely calm before, spoke in an unusually dejected tone.

  As an agronomist who experienced the War of Resistance, Yang Kaiqu is very clear about one thing:

  For a country to become a big country, food and weapons are two problems that must be solved.

  If you have food but no force, then you can only be reduced to a broiler and a warehouse, and others can take as much resources as they want from you.

  If there is force but no food, then there will be a lack of popular support and cohesion, and the so-called force will eventually fall into the hands of others.

  Yang Kaiqu has been striving for food breeding all his life, even if he is asked to evaluate his life by himself, he still dares to describe himself as frank and clear.

  Even if he was initially diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in May, he could still face death calmly.

  But what Yang Kaiqu didn't expect was.

  Fate made such an outrageous joke for him at the end of his life.

  The discovery of wild male sterile plants brought hybrid rice from a fantasy state to reality, and the dawn of the country's freedom from hunger appeared in front of him.

   When he arrived at Base 221, he came into contact with China's current top secret, the nuclear weapon development program code-named Project 596.

  If the country is a person.

   Then the hybrid rice is undoubtedly a pair of Anta that can make people run wild.

  The atomic bomb is the backbone of the human body.

Both of these two things are the goals that Yang Kaiqu has been longing for all his life. Even before he came to the base, he had already written in his suicide note such as [When the atomic bomb explodes, you will go to the grave and tell me], [After the hybrid rice is successful, go to the grave and spread some rice] and so on.

The results of it?

  Fate put these two treasures in front of him, but cut off his hands cruelly.

   As a result, two treasures were in front of him, but they were out of reach.

Facing this circumstances.

  Even an extremely open-minded person like Yang Kaiqu is a little bit crazy in his heart.

  Now that the words have been spoken, Yang Kaiqu no longer hides them, and asked frankly:

   "Doctor Lin, is there no possibility of cure for my illness?"

   Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then glanced at Li Jue who was beside him.

  Li Jue sighed slightly, pushed his chin slightly, and made a gesture of telling the truth to Lin Yu.

  Seeing this, Lin Yu had no choice but to take a deep breath, and said frankly:

   "Academician Yang, at present, advanced cancer is a standard terminal illness, and we are afraid that there is really nothing we can do."

  Yang Kaiqu was not surprised by Lin Yu's answer. After all, he had been diagnosed with lung cancer for some time, and it was only today that he was officially diagnosed at an advanced stage:

   "Then what about extending the time? For example, let me live an extra year or two?"

  Yang Kaiqu’s words are not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he wants to live longer to see if he can see the birth of nuclear weapons or hybrid rice before he dies.

  Since he came to the base, he has also somewhat understood the current project progress of the entire base—as a member of the academic department, Yang Kaiqu's status is the same as that of MiG 15bis pilot Chen Pingsheng.

   It is a typical situation that they cannot get in touch with R&D projects because of different fields, but once there is an intersection due to various reasons, the whole project will not have too many secrets in front of them.

  According to the information Yang Kaiqu learned.

  The original goal of the base was to successfully test the atomic bomb in four to five years, but due to the birth of a half-baked man, this time has been shortened rapidly.

  Yesterday, Yang Kaiqu talked with Lu Guangda, who came to visit him, about this matter. Lu Guangda told him that even with the current progress, the project team is sure to successfully test the atomic bomb or even the hydrogen bomb within two years.

  If someone continues to make some big news, this time may be shortened.

But on the other hand.

No matter how fast this progress is, it is basically impossible to shorten it to less than one year. After all, many processes belong to the situation that even if you know the answer, it will take a lot of time to get it done—especially in this era, the domestic industrial level is still in the early stage of development. , the yield is quite low.

  If Yang Kaiqu can only live for eight months, then it is obviously impossible to see the successful atomic bomb test.

  The same is true for hybrid rice.

   Rice will be sown in spring next year and harvested in autumn. Even the second generation will take at least eleven months.

  But if he can live for another two years, then he may have the opportunity to see both. At least one of the two has come out.

  But it makes Yang Kaiqu a little regretful.

  Hearing the second question he asked, Lin Yu still shook his head silently.

  Yang Kaiqu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

   Is it really a fantasy?

   While Yang Kaiqu was talking with Lin Yu, Lao Guo suddenly noticed Xu Yun's hesitant expression.

  Seeing this, he immediately shrank his pupils and asked subconsciously:

   "Xiao Han, do you have any ideas?"

  “.”

  Xu Yun let out a clear "tsk" from his mouth, and it could be seen that he was a little conflicted.

   Then he looked up at old Guo Li Jue, then turned to Yang Kaiqu, hesitantly said:

   "Factory Director, Guo Gong, to be honest, I'm afraid I can't do anything about the treatment of advanced lung cancer."

   "However, if you want to extend your lifespan by a few years. Well, within three years, if you want to extend your lifespan by about three years, I think it is still feasible."

   "It's just that I have no idea about this plan. With our current technology level, it may or may not be possible."

  Xu Yun frowned tightly when he said this. This time, he wasn't thinking of advance as retreat, but he was really undecided.

Of course.

  This is not the same as the hesitation when trading tandem accelerators before. What Xu Yun hesitated about in the accelerator transaction was whether the final result would be fulfilled. What he was not sure this time was whether the technology of the times could keep up with his ideas.

   After all, he had never thought about this matter before, it was purely an idea that popped up after listening to Yang Kaiqu's chat, without careful argumentation.

  But Li Jue and Lao Guo didn't know this. Hearing this, Lao Guo immediately sat up straight and asked:

   "What plan? Xiao Han, tell me first?"

   "We'll discuss whether it's feasible or not. If we don't talk about it, we won't even have the chance to discuss it."

  Xu Yun thought about it, and it seems to be the same reason.

  After all, even if the technology cannot be put in place now, the rabbits should be able to come up with it in advance after having relevant concepts.

  And judging from the current situation, the beggar version of this technology is still possible.

  Think here.

  Xu Yun also sat up a little bit straighter, and slowly looked around the scene:

   "Guo Gong, you have heard of it"

   "Targeted drug?"

Note:

   After a year and seven months, when I woke up today, I put the facial cleanser into my mouth again as toothpaste
