Analog company starts with technology

Saturday, January 14th.

7 p.m.

Niu Geng's parents were extra enthusiastic than usual, and they cooked a large table of delicious food themselves.

The whole room is filled with fragrance.

Although a large part of the reason has to do with his son returning home, the more important reason is because of Xing Ling.

In the past, when Niu Geng came back for the New Year, he would always be alone. Although as a parent, he had long said that he would not interfere with his son's decision, he would inevitably feel worried about the choice of his daughter-in-law and did not want to leave any regrets.

Now that Niu Geng has truly grown up, he no longer needs the protection of his parents, let alone any worries from them, but it is basically impossible to just sit back and relax like this.

After thinking about it, there is only one solution...

That is to let Niu Geng start a family as soon as possible so that he can have grandchildren or granddaughters.

Therefore, he naturally attached great importance to the woman his son brought back for the first time and did not regard her as an ordinary female secretary at all.

"Xiao Ling, if Xiao Geng bullies you in the future, feel free to tell Auntie." At the dinner table, her mother, Zhang Xiulian, explained to Xing Ling with a serious face, and she also put a piece of braised pork between her hands.

"Girls, you should eat more to see how thin you are."

"Thank you, Auntie." Xing Ling answered normally.

Before coming, Niu Geng had explained a lot of precautions. In addition, Xing Ling had his own consciousness, so naturally there would be no flaws.

Just facing the bowl full of food on the table in front of her, Xing Ling felt a little scared.

As a robot, she definitely doesn't need to eat. Even if her optimized body can eat like a normal human, she will still need to open her body to take out the food.

A little more troublesome.

So in the end, Xingling only tasted a few bites and stopped moving his chopsticks.

The parents thought that the food was not to their taste, so they asked with great concern: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your taste?"

"If there is anything you want to eat, let your aunt cook it. Don't be polite when you come home."

Faced with the verbal attack from the two elders, just as Xing Ling was analyzing how to respond appropriately, Niu Geng finally spoke up to save the situation.

"It's normal for a little girl to stay in shape and not eat at night. Besides, she's still hungry at home, so don't worry about it."

He was still chewing food in his mouth when he said this, slurring his words.

The reason why Niu Geng didn't reveal Xing Ling's true identity was mainly because his parents didn't know much about the company and didn't like surfing the Internet. If they were told that the seemingly well-behaved and sensible little girl in front of them was actually a robot, Nine times out of ten, I absolutely don’t believe it.

Unless the starling is split open to see the internal organs.

If something bad happens, it will be a real act of filial piety.

Anyway, Niu Geng won't stay at home for too long. He has to return to Jingzhou City in time to handle the company's affairs after the Spring Festival, so it's okay for his parents to misunderstand Xing Ling's identity.

After seeing that his parents no longer mentioned Xing Ling, Niu Geng changed the topic to other things.

"By the way, dad, I'll go to my uncle and his uncle's house tomorrow. I just happened to bring a lot of health care products and the like when I came back this time."

I have been in Jingzhou City all year round and cannot come back for a long time. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to visit my elders.

Regardless of whether you bring a gift or not, it is still the bond that maintains family ties.

But what Niu Geng didn't expect was that after hearing these words, his parents' faces instantly darkened, as if they had been touched by something sad.

To be honest, this was the first time Niu Geng saw his parents acting like this, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

I was afraid something would happen.

So he quickly asked: "What happened?"

"Your uncle was diagnosed with esophageal cancer some time ago. He was transferred from the city hospital back to the county hospital yesterday, and your cousins ​​have also returned." Faced with her son's inquiry, her mother Zhang Xiulian first sighed, and then looked a little sad. said this.

His father, Niu Yongliang, was also silent.

Obviously this matter is serious.

Niu Geng never expected that something like this would happen at home. He seemed a little dazed for a moment and could not recover quickly.

In addition, it may be because of what happened in Dongjing recently. After hearing the word cancer, Niu Geng could not help but think of nuclear wastewater pollution.

But then he rejected it.

Niu Geng knew very well that there was no habit of eating seafood in his hometown, and there were no cases of cancer caused by nuclear wastewater pollution in China, so his uncle's esophageal cancer should have occurred naturally.

However, it is really hard to believe that he contracted this disease just after reaching the grade of 60.

But what Niu Geng didn't understand was that since he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, he should hurry up and transfer to a better hospital, so why did he return to the county hospital.

You must know that the uncle's children are doing well outside all year round, so they can at least afford the treatment.

Besides, Lao Niu's family still has him as a pillar of support.

In confusion, he could only continue to ask his parents: "Why should I be transferred back to the county hospital? If you had told me about this earlier, I could have contacted the best cancer hospital in the country."

"Your uncle has terminal esophageal cancer, and he can only rely on various means to prolong his life in the future, so your uncle wants to stay closer to home."

"Mainly, your aunt didn't want to trouble you too much and didn't let us talk more. Your dad and I just wanted to wait for you to come back."

After listening to his parents' explanation, Niu Geng finally understood.

With my uncle's temper, if he knew that he had advanced esophageal cancer, he would most likely not be willing to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It would be reasonable to transfer him to a county hospital near his home.

What's more, patients with advanced esophageal cancer basically have no chance of cure, and the five-year survival rate is even less than 30%.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was sentenced to death in advance.

The main pre-symptoms of esophageal cancer are not obvious and are difficult to be discovered by patients. By the time it is diagnosed, it is often in the middle and late stages, especially the elderly whose children have not been around for a long time, and they will not pay much attention to it.

What his parents said was also correct. Although he was the president of Xingyuan Technology, even if he knew about the matter for the first time, he would at most help contact the best hospitals and experts.

But it cannot change the key issues.

Because even if the world's top medical team is invited, there is no good way to deal with late-stage cancer.

Unless the medical community can develop a specific drug to treat cancer.

This incident also made Niu Geng feel a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time, lamenting the fragility of human life.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Then I will go to the county hospital tomorrow to check on my uncle's condition."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Both parents expressed support for Niu Geng's decision.

soon.

After dinner, Xing Ling helped clear the table and dishes, and it was time to go to bed.

Since Niu Geng still subconsciously regarded Xing Ling as a robot, he did not arrange for his parents to tidy up the room. His parents even regarded Xing Ling as their future daughter-in-law. They wished they could sleep in the same room, so they would not take the initiative to clean up anything.

Although Niu Geng's house was rebuilt and the rooms were very spacious, Niu Geng had just learned about his uncle's affairs and Niu Geng was really not in the mood to clean up.

He had no choice but to let Xing Ling spend the night in his room.

It's not the first time anyway.

…

The next day.

Niu Geng came out of the room refreshed, had a simple breakfast, and then drove to the county hospital with Xing Ling.

What needs to be mentioned here is that in the past, Niu Geng would always follow He Guang when traveling, which was equivalent to a personal bodyguard.

Prevent any unexpected events during your trip.

But since Xing Ling had her own body, in addition to being a secretary, she also gradually took over He Guang's bodyguard duties.

After all, as an advanced artificial intelligence, Xing Ling's body had millions of optimization points, and its abilities were by no means comparable.

It is no exaggeration to say that, let alone He Guang himself, even if he brings the entire security team of the company, he may not be Xing Ling's opponent. His single body's defense ability can be called abnormal.

With such a existence, the sense of security is simply overwhelming.

However, on the way to the county hospital, Niu Geng was still thinking about what happened last night, and subconsciously asked Xing Ling: "Xing Ling, how long will it take to develop a drug to cure cancer?"

"Master, do you want to cure uncle's esophageal cancer?"

Hearing Niu Geng's question, Xing Ling did not give a direct answer this time. Instead, he asked one more question based on his own thoughts.

Niu Geng didn't think much about this, and replied slightly seriously: "That's right, but it's also for future plans."

The uncle's incident made Niu Geng realize a reality.

No matter how influential Xingyuan Technology is in the world, and how much power he, the president, has, it pales in comparison to life, old age, illness and death.

He may not have to worry about this problem now that he is in his twenties and is young, but what about when he becomes middle-aged and elderly in a few decades?

So Niu Geng wants to enter the medical industry and develop more effective drugs.

certainly.

His goal is not limited to esophageal cancer, but to develop a drug that can cure all types of cancer, although this goal is difficult to achieve.

Almost a few seconds after Niu Geng finished speaking, Xing Ling replied very seriously: "The research and development of this project is extremely difficult, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed. The time frame cannot be determined for the time being."

"Then let's talk about it when we get back to Jingzhou."

After receiving Xing Ling's answer, Niu Geng frowned slightly.

Even Xing Ling, a high-level intellectual brain, didn't have a clear answer to this question, so Niu Geng had no choice but not to think about it for the time being.

After returning to the company and carefully discussing with relevant professors and experts in the research center, we will make other plans.

However, Niu Geng also knew that in order to develop such a special medicine, he would most likely rely on optimization points. It was just that he could not judge how many optimization points would be needed for the time being.

Millions or tens of millions...

The distance from home to the county hospital was about ten kilometers. It didn't take long for the two of them to reach their destination and search according to the ward number they learned from their parents.

He was carrying many high-end gifts brought back from Jingzhou.

Fortunately, the ward where the uncle lived was a single room. When Niu Geng opened the door and entered, only the aunt was sitting beside the hospital bed waiting on her.

As for Xing Ling, she chose to stay outside the door and did not go in together.

"Xiao Geng, when did you come back?"

The aunt who turned her head when she heard the voice felt happy when she saw the familiar figure and quickly stood up to say hello.

When he took the initiative to help Niu Geng take the things from Niu Geng's hand, he didn't forget to add: "Why do you still buy so many things? Your brother and sister have brought enough things these days, how can you finish them all?"

Faced with this complaint, Niu Geng didn't refute anything. He said casually: "They are some health products, which are good for uncle's health."

After saying this, he turned his attention to his uncle lying on the hospital bed.

Looking around, the uncle was obviously much thinner than the last time he saw him, and his face was also a little yellow.

After all, if you have esophageal cancer, you can only rely on liquid food to maintain body functions, which will inevitably lead to a lot of nutritional deficiencies. Coupled with the devastation of the treatment on the body, it is easy for a person to change his appearance.

But unlike Niu Geng's sadness, the uncle obviously had a good attitude. After seeing Niu Geng coming, he said excitedly: "Xiao Geng is here, hurry up and move a chair to sit. Uncle, there is nothing wrong with my health. Don’t worry too much.”

Niu Geng is now a veritable big shot in the Lao Niu family. His uncle is naturally very fond of such an outstanding talent in the family.

His attitude towards Niu Geng is simply better than that of his own son.

But the more this happened, the more worried Niu Geng was, and the more confident he became in the company's development of drugs to treat cancer.

In the end, I couldn't help but reassure him: "Uncle, just accept the doctor's treatment with peace of mind. Our company's research center is planning to develop a specific drug to treat cancer. Maybe it will be able to cure your esophageal cancer by then."

A cure for cancer?

Hearing Niu Geng's words, before the uncle could react, the aunt next to him couldn't help it, and asked excitedly: "Xiao Geng, you are saying that your company is going to develop special drugs to treat cancer. Is the news accurate?"

"Mom, I'm the boss of the company, so I can't speak accurately."

Niu Geng turned his head and said something back to his aunt.

Confirming the authenticity of this matter, the aunt finally showed a look of joy on her face, and her whole mood was much higher than before.

As a member of her own family, Auntie naturally knows the achievements Xingyuan Technology has made in the world over the years, and she doesn’t know how many world-leading technologies it has developed.

If we really enter the medical industry and develop specific drugs to treat cancer, it may be possible to succeed.

By then, the advanced stage of esophageal cancer will be nothing.

Maybe it's just like a fever or a cold.

Just take a few pills and everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously grasped Niu Geng's palm with both hands and murmured softly: "It's really great. Now your uncle is finally saved."

Immediately afterwards.

Considering that it takes a long time to develop drugs, Niu Geng turned his eyes and specifically told his uncle: "Uncle, I have already told you about our company's latest project plan. You must cooperate with the doctor's treatment. No matter what, We must persist until drug research and development is successful."

"Don't worry, I haven't taken your uncle seriously yet."

The uncle straightened his body and deliberately pretended to have a strong and strong voice when he said this.

But in Niu Geng's plan, he still planned to take his uncle to the hospital in Jingzhou City, so that the treatment effect would be better.

However, if you want to implement this plan smoothly, you still need to use some thinking. After all, most elderly people need to be treated like children.
