As soon as he returned to his shack, Zhou Yawen couldn't help but ask: "You just said that to comfort that girl, right?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Dad, do you think I am the kind of unreliable person?"
"So Lao Xu can really be saved?"
"Not necessarily. Although I already know what disease he has, I still don't know whether I can buy medicine."
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Besides, even if you buy it, his physical condition is not optimistic. Whether he can be rescued depends on luck!"
"Did you really find out what kind of disease Lao Xu had?" Zhou Yawen asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Well, as expected, he should have Keshan disease!"
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Zhou Yawen frowned and said, "Keshan disease? I've only heard of Keshan County, but not Keshan disease!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "This disease has been around for a long time. It can even be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. However, after official investigation, it was classified as a "current epidemic". During the Puppet Manchukuo period, it was called "the strange disease in Northern Manchuria". Because the cause could not be determined after repeated investigations, it was named Keshan disease after the place name, which is still used today."
Seeing that Zhou Yang was speaking eloquently, Zhou Yawen immediately asked: "Is this disease easy to cure?"
"The acute form is not easy to treat, and the mortality rate is very high, but the chronic form is fine. But even so, the mortality rate of Keshan disease is still around 20%!" Zhou Yang said.
"so tall?"
"Um!"
"Then Lao Xu..."
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will solve it." Zhou Yang said.
"Oh well!"
As for whether Xu Hongzhou's disease could be cured, Zhou Yang was really unsure. It wasn't that he couldn't cure Keshan disease, but that he was not sure whether Xu Hongzhou's body could absorb the medicine.
Regarding Keshan disease, Zhou Yang is still very confident because he personally participated in the research on this disease in his previous life.
In view of the fact that the mortality rate of this disease is too high, and that the disease broke out again in the northwest and northeast regions more than ten years ago, the top management has assigned several medical schools, directly affiliated to the Ministry of Health, to go deep into Huanglong, where the disease is serious. , Keshan and other places to carry out prevention and control research.
After a period of research, a large amount of on-site first-hand information was obtained, and the fatality rate was controlled below 45%.
Later, the authorities listed Keshan disease as one of the key endemic diseases to be prevented and controlled, and the fatality rate was eventually controlled from more than 80% to less than 20%, but there was still no way to completely eliminate the disease.
Zhou Yang was exposed to Keshan disease in 1984. At that time, the state included the scientific research on Keshan disease in the national "Seventh Five-Year Plan" and "Eighth Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological projects. Zhou Yang participated in this scientific research project as the backbone of the pharmacology team. In the end, breakthrough research was achieved and the disease was completely conquered.
So for now, no one really knows better than Zhou Yang what kind of medicine should be used to treat Keshan disease.
But we all know that for a terminally ill person, even if there is a panacea, it may not work.
It is said that the Buddha can help those who are destined and the medicine can cure diseases!
Regarding Xu Hongzhou, Zhou Yang can only say that he will do his best!
As for the result, it can only be said to be a matter of fate!
...........
There was nothing to say all night, and Zhou Yang also got up very early the next day!
It's not that he couldn't sleep today. In fact, Zhou Yang slept so soundly last night that he didn't even wake up all night.
It wasn't that those annoying mosquitoes and rats were gone, but that he was too tired.
He walked at least dozens of kilometers during the day yesterday, climbing up hills and digging holes in ditches. When he came back, he treated people, and he almost fell down from exhaustion.
So after returning to the shack, Zhou Yang fell asleep without being woken up by anyone.
But because he was thinking about going to the city today, Zhou Yang had no choice but to get up early.
After all, it is a full 40 kilometers from Dongquan Farm to Huaxian County, and the round trip is 80 kilometers.
At the speed of a carriage, it might not be possible to make a round trip in a day.
So Zhou Yang can only get up early, act early, and then try to come back early
Seeing Zhou Yang coming, Zhang Hanwu immediately came over and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, you got up early enough!"
"Haha, aren't you thinking about going to the city, so you got up earlier!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Tell me honestly, how are you going to deal with the well-drilling team?"
Zhang Hanwu went back last night and thought about it all night, but he still couldn't figure out what Zhou Yang was going to do, so now after meeting him, he asked directly.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with Director Li of the Yunshan County Water Conservancy Bureau. I would like to ask them if they can help with this!"
Zhang Hanwu frowned and said, "Can they do it? Our technical staff from the Hua County Water Conservancy Bureau have also been here, and they said it's not feasible!"
"Director Zhang, just because those people can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it either!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "I know a little bit about the situation of the Yunshan County Water Conservancy Bureau. They can even design and build medium to large reservoirs. It should be no problem to dig a deep well!"
"Of course, if it doesn't work, I will contact my friends in Ning City and ask them to help find a drilling team. The well must be drilled no matter what!"
Zhou Yang had already thought about asking Li Changqing for help.
If there is any department that can handle this matter right now, it must be the Water Conservancy Bureau!
Firstly, it was because they were professional enough, and secondly, the Water Conservancy Bureau owed him such a huge favor.
Even if you ask them to help, it’s hard for them to refuse!
Hearing that Zhou Yang was so confident, Director Zhang immediately said: "Xiao Zhou, as long as the other party is willing to come, we can discuss all other issues!"
"Well! I'm not sure about the specific situation right now. Let's contact the Water Conservancy Bureau first!"
"OK!"
"By the way, I would like to ask, where can I make a phone call in Hua County?"
"Can't you send a telegram?" Director Zhang asked.
"No, the telegram is too expensive, and it's not clear. It's best to call!"
Regarding the current telegram, Zhou Yang was indeed a little speechless. Charging money per word was extremely expensive.
When people write telegrams, they usually try to reduce the number of words. For example, Zhou Yang received a telegram from his family in his previous life.
At that time, my mother suddenly became seriously ill. She wanted to see her son who was working out of town for the last time, so I sent him a telegram: "My mother is critically ill, please come home soon!"
Look how simple it is, even the punctuation marks are omitted!
Although his mother was lucky enough to survive, this incident still remains fresh in Zhou Yang's memory.
When asking for help in digging a well, you have to make it clear that this is no small matter and cannot be careless!
But a telegram can only send a few words, so naturally it cannot be explained clearly.
So the best way is to have a phone call with Li Changqing directly and explain the matter to him exactly.
Zhang Hanwu thought for a moment and said, "The Armed Forces Department in the county has a phone number, but I don't know if I can call your Water Conservancy Bureau directly!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't call the Water Conservancy Bureau, as long as you can contact the Yunshan County Public Security Bureau. I also have a friend there. It's okay to ask him to call Bureau Li to the Public Security Bureau to answer the phone!" Zhou Yang said.
Hearing this, Zhang Hanwu was secretly surprised!
I secretly wondered what the professor's son was this week. Not only was he on good terms with the county water conservancy director, but he also had a good relationship with the public security bureau. No wonder he was confident in solving the farm's water shortage problem.
"The director of the County Public Security Bureau is my former old company commander. We can go directly there to ask him for help. That's for sure!"
"If possible, then wait until Director Zhang enters the city with us!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, let's pack up and set off!" Zhang Hanwu said.
"OK!"
