Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is known by the scientific name "ALS". www.biquge.info 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 clinical treatment is almost zero. In the face of Hawking's condition, all modern medicine can do is to control the patient's condition.

However, for 22nd-century technology, treating this condition is not much of a problem.

In the post-apocalyptic timeline, medical technology was quite advanced, and by the time of the war, almost 90 percent of the incurable diseases had been solved. Lou Gehrig's disease is one of the diseases that has been resolved.

And the easiest way to treat Lou Gehrig's disease is to use the smart medical cabin that Jiang Chen brought to the present world last time in order to cure Aisha. No matter how severe the muscle tissue necrosis, atrophy and other diseases, as long as enough time and culture medium are spent, they can be effectively treated. As for the accumulated neurotoxic substances and glutamate that accumulate between nerve cells, they 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 new country to conclude a three-day diplomatic visit.

Before receiving treatment, Hawking asked Jiang Chen a very interesting question.

"Can I take the liberty of asking a question before I get treatment?"

"If you're going to ask me if the surgery will be painful, my answer is no. Jiang Chen replied in a humorous tone.

"It's none of my business. What I would like to inquire about is about the homework you assigned to your students half a month ago. ”

"What's the matter, the master of cosmology is also interested?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at the old man in surprise.

"I'm just curious, did you find something?"

Those cloudy eyes seemed to have the penetrating power to understand the universe, looking directly into Jiang Chen's eyes.

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"Because the number of rockets you've had in the last few years is equivalent to the total number of rockets launched by NASA in the last ten years. Hawking tapped his keyboard with trembling fingers, "With such frequent space activities, you're sure to find something." ”

"Did NASA discover anything in the past few decades?" Jiang Chen asked in turn.

Hawking was silent for a long time, typing out a sentence with his fingers in fits and starts.

"They never answered the question head-on, but I'm sure they found something. You can keep an eye out for Lower Area 51, which is not just a federal military base. ”

For the details of District 51, Hawking did not elaborate. Obviously, as a scholar, he can't know too much information.

At the end of the meeting, Jiang Chen asked a little abruptly.

"If extraterrestrial civilizations exist, and they know we're here, do you think they're hostile?"

Hawking replied tapping on the keyboard on the armrest.

"If you've ever watched my lectures, you'll know that I've never doubted that. ”

Jiang Chen smiled and stretched out his hand.

"It's an honor that we are on the same page. ”

“…… I'm sorry, but I can't shake your hand right now. ”

In mid-October, in the Coro City Hospital under Future Human Biotech, accompanied by three children who had traveled from the United Kingdom, 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 considerable extent, this repair time is likely to be quite long. As for the medical problems of future human organisms to overcome Lou Gehrig's disease, the international community has also paid extensive attention to it.

The overcoming of any terminal illness is an immeasurable progress for the field of medical research.

Even though the prevalence of Lou Gehrig's disease is low, there is still a lot of interest from international medical organizations.

However, as in previous cases, the future human biology did not disclose how to treat this terminal disease, but only summarized the treatment process in a very general way as "muscle tissue repair and neuronal repair". The International Medical Organization has no way to deal with the "stinginess" of future human biology, after all, the Future Man Group is a company rather than a scholar, and even if it finds anything, it is impossible to write a paper and publish it on the SCI.

In fact, it wasn't that Jiang Chen was stingy this time, but that he couldn't explain it clearly.

The culture medium used in the medical chamber is able to speed up the repair of necrotic cells under a special electromagnetic action. If it is left to the medical experts on the side of the end of the world to explain, they may be able to explain it clearly, but for Jiang Chen, a layman, he can only use this general explanation to confuse the past.

Anyway, the treatment process is foolish enough, come to two nurses to put people in, and remember to change the culture solution regularly. If I had to say, it would be almost as good as a washing machine.

……

Not long after the news of Hawking's new citizenship spread, countries also made subtle adjustments in their policies towards the moon.

The first is the United States, the first and only country to send a living person to the moon, but the Star Ring Trade preemptively established a colony on the moon, which obviously made them unhappy.

After many rounds of discussions, NASA finally persuaded Congress to get 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 a number of high-tech companies, including Google, will also participate in it and share the 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 the development of a lunar landing program as soon as possible. However, there is no agreement among countries on who will pay for it. Although ESA is not linked to the EU, it is clear that the UK has been quite lukewarm to the project after Brexit. Without Britain, a wealthy brother, it will be difficult to squeeze out 10 billion euros to invest in space projects by relying on the finances of France and Germany alone.

The director of ESA has called on the private sector to invest in the project, but it is unclear whether anyone will invest in the project amid the uncertain business outlook.

Then there is Huaguo, and the success of the Chang'e series of rockets has also made it quite confident in the field of moon landing. Shortly after the ESA meeting, the mysterious authorities released a new space white paper, which included the manned lunar landing program as part of the national space strategy, and expected the launch of the first manned spacecraft to the moon in 2030.

The Russian side, due to insufficient funds and other reasons, has not said anything for the time being. However, the Kremlin said that if conditions permit, it would change the existing space program to include the moon landing as part of Russia's space activities.

For the countries that were stimulated, Jiang Chen did not feel threatened.

Even if it was the technology of Star Ring Trade, he had spent a lot of money in this sky to get to where he is now. Perhaps the United States is the most promising country to be the second country to colonize the moon, but when that day comes, I am afraid that the moon will already be full of colonies and mines of the Star Ring trade.

Even if they wanted to colonize, would there still be that land for them to settle in? )
