Chapter 38 Future Medical Engineering
The President of the United States, who arrived in China, immediately had a five-hour conversation with Mr. Huntelaar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one knew the specific content of the conversation between the two, only the presidents' bodyguards later recalled that the president of the United States came out of the reception room with a blue face, ugly and scary! Three days later, the President of the United States returned home from his visit, but John? Mr. Huntelaar remained......
Although he wanted to stay and persuade John, Mr. President did not have that time.
On July 23, 1955, the first atomic bomb of the Soviet Union was detonated!
Because of the loss of the high speed of the Great Depression era and the fact that they suffered more losses in World War II, the Soviets detonated the first atomic bomb six or seven years later than in history. However, the atomic bomb will be late, but it will not be absent, so the detonation of the Soviet atomic bomb immediately caused restlessness all over the world, especially Europe, which was facing the direct threat of the Soviets, and even more panicked to the Americans for support!
Equally flustered is China in the Far East.
Since sending a large army to reclaim more than 3 million kilometers of land, relations between China and the Soviet Union have never been better. Especially after the Soviet Union finally developed in recent years, the two sides have frequent friction in many fields, but everyone's army strength is very strong, and the Soviet Union has an advantage in the number of tanks, but China's air force is even stronger, so no one dares to provoke on a large scale. But the explosion of the Soviet atomic bomb immediately added a heavy weight to the other side!
So ten days later, a mushroom cloud rose on the Gobi Desert in China!
The Western world was completely shocked, they never knew that China had actually possessed its first atomic bomb last year after the return of nuclear physicists secretly trained by the Huntelaar consortium! It's just that due to various circumstances, this atomic bomb has always existed only in a secret warehouse, and it is only now that it has to be detonated!
Along with the atomic bomb, there was also Chinese own long-range strategic bomber, second only to the B52 level of the Americans, although it was obviously aimed at the Soviets, but the Americans on the other side of the Pacific Ocean suddenly felt an inexplicable chill......
John didn't really care about these things.
Even without the atomic bomb, with China's current strength, no country would dare to provoke it easily. Although the strength is still far behind the Americans, it is still no problem to deal with the attack on land. However, nuclear weapons are the cornerstone of the security of a great power, so John prepared for peace and security a long time ago. Now that China has the atomic bomb, even the Americans can no longer look down on their followers as before, but must give them a certain amount of respect.
So with this atomic bomb, John didn't have to worry about anything.
In addition to these annoyances, John has been busy enclosing land in several cities. When he visited Luoyang earlier, John? In a conversation with the mayor of Luoyang, Huntelaar made a request to buy a piece of land with an area of at least one million square meters. After the mayor of Luoyang agreed to this condition without hesitation, without even asking about the use, John then visited Kaifeng, Xi'an and Beijing, and also bought a million square meters of land. As for Nanjing and Hangzhou, there is no need for it, the Huntelaar consortium has long been ready.
At the same time, several of China's most authoritative design institutions in the field of classical architecture received an invitation letter.
So at the beginning of 1956, all six design agencies submitted their final versions of their designs!
Three months later, construction began in six cities at the same time.
Countless construction workers and machines poured into the six million square meters of land and began construction in full swing. Although John? Mr. Huntelaar asked for a faster process regardless of the cost, but because all the designs were classical, the rockeries, flying pavilions and small lakes in the buildings were very large, and more importantly, the traditional crafts were very complex and time-consuming......
Of course, that's all for later.
On August 17, 1955, John? Mr. Huntelaar suddenly appeared in front of the public and sent an invitation to the heads of eleven pharmaceutical companies, sixteen medical device companies, thirty-six medical schools and one hundred and seventy large hospitals in China, the United States and Germany, inviting them to gather together in Luoyang, China in a month!
It soon became clear that almost all of these were part of the Huntelaar healthcare system.
Pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies are all part of the Huntelaar consortium, and the original Huntelaar pharmaceutical and medical device companies have been spun off several times, resulting in the current 27 large companies, all of which are ranked among the world's top 100. Among the 50 medical schools, there are 18 medical schools in China, 10 universities in the northeast and Osler Medical School in the United States, and seven universities in Germany, including the University of Berlin, the University of Munich, and the University of Heidelberg. As for the 170 hospitals, they are basically affiliated with these medical schools......
A month later, more than 1,200 delegates gathered in Luoyang.
Not only did there be no shortage of representatives from these institutions, but even the health departments of the three countries sent officials with sufficient status, and the Chinese health minister was personally present. In the auditorium of Luoyang Medical College, in front of thousands of delegates, John? Huntelaar announced that it will donate funds from all industrial sales in China to set up an international medical research fund, which will specifically fund several large-scale medical research projects, and these institutions invited are the first participants of these projects!
This news immediately made everyone in an uproar!
Although we don't know how much those industries are worth, some people have calculated that it is at least $40 billion!
Tens of billions of dollars, just to fund a few large medical research projects?
Just when everyone was puzzled, John began his explanation loudly, and listed one project after another in front of everyone: nuclear magnetic resonance, CT and other large-scale diagnostic equipment, many experimental diagnostic equipment, pathological diagnosis equipment, endoscopy equipment, overall operating room, nuclear medicine treatment equipment, new artificial dialysis machine, cardiac defibrillation equipment, etc., those advanced medical equipment in the future appeared in front of people one by one.
In addition to this, a large number of technologies that have not appeared or are far from mature are also being taken into account by John? Mr. Huntelaar brought it up, from the concept of endoscopic surgery and interventional diagnosis and treatment, to the small bypass surgery and vascular stents, all of which were defeated by him in front of people - seeing these seemingly sci-fi concepts and technologies, thinking carefully about the absolutely feasible concepts and technologies, all the participants were crazy!
To be precise, it's the people from the pharmaceutical and medical device companies who are crazy!
Anyone with a bit of a brain can imagine the huge prospects of these new products, once successfully developed, the future will be hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in the market!
And for representatives of medical schools and hospitals, these are of course also attractive, as they have more advanced equipment and technology to diagnose and treat patients. But at this stage, what is more attractive to both of them are the basic or clinical research programs that Mr. Huntelaar later mentions -- the science fiction-like, massive human genome project, such as the large-scale follow-up program for clinical cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and other diseases that can be carried out now, and the long-term follow-up program to verify the dangers of tobacco and alcohol.
A large-scale statistical study of tobacco harm alone has moved most people's hearts.
Tobacco has been around for hundreds of years and has always been a favorite of gentlemen. In order to promote tobacco, many companies even promote the idea that smoking is good for your health. It was not until 1956 that the British were the first to propose that smoking is harmful to health. In fact, John put forward the theory of the harm of tobacco very early in this world, but it did not attract people's attention until the two years when the Huntelaar Medical School published some small-scale research reports, and everyone began to slowly become interested......
For physicians, these are the things they are most interested in.
Thus, the meeting, which was originally scheduled to last three days, ended up lasting a full sixteen days. After these theories and technical concepts were unanimously endorsed by many leading experts, led by John's huge donation, the health ministries of the three countries also contributed 10 billion US dollars each to this huge project. In the next 20 years, 27 companies will cooperate with major medical schools to jointly develop those new medical products; More than 100 hospitals collaborate to carry out large-scale research programs that last for decades; At the same time, various institutions work together to accumulate theories and technologies for the future human genome project......
All the results will be shared by the three countries.
Although the Americans are very unwilling, because they have the strength to complete most of the plans themselves, so as to take all the benefits into their pockets. But in John? At Mr. Huntelaar's insistence, they had to agree to the plan. After all, Germany is the original medical hegemon, and the related machinery, chemistry, materials and other industrial levels are even more terrifying, while the overall water level of Chinese medicine is not high, but in terms of elites, it is not much less than the United States, and the top level of industry is cultivated by the Huntelaar consortium......
More critically, John? Mr. Huntelaar's attitude!
If the United States is unwilling to participate, all this money will be handed over to China and the Germans for joint research......
Thinking on your thighs, it's all a super disaster!
In addition to the depressed Americans, the Chinese and Germans were overjoyed. One of them has a thin foundation, lacks the accumulation of precision machining and large-scale equipment, and the other is the severe decline of strength after the war, and lacks sufficient funds, independent research and development must be very difficult, and with this huge amount of money and the complementarity of all parties, then things are much easier. Although 10 billion US dollars is a bit much, it is acceptable to everyone when it is spread out over 20 years.
After much haggling, on December 9, 1955, the three governments met with John ? Mr. Huntelaar signed a huge cooperation agreement and announced to the world the contents of the agreement - only a part of it, of course, and the details of which must be kept secret in advance. As soon as the plan was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of Britain and France, and they were disappointed and could only sigh infinitely: Why is Mr. Huntelaar of German descent? Why did he first spend his life in China? Why? Why......
