Chapter 126 Those who offend China will not be cured even if they are sick!
Blue Star, China.
An unprecedented press conference was broadcast live to the world via the internet.
The atmosphere at the press conference was solemn and dignified. The spokesperson stepped onto the stage and, without uttering a single wasted word, dropped the first bombshell.
"Effective today, my country officially announces that it has overcome the treatment challenge of Alzheimer's disease. Through the new 'neuronal regeneration therapy,' clinical trials have shown a cure rate of up to 98%. All diagnosed patients in my country can apply for free treatment through official channels."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The live stream was instantly flooded with countless question marks and exclamation marks.
"??? Did I hear that right? Alzheimer's disease? The senile dementia?"
"What kind of joke is this! Today isn't April Fool's Day!"
"There's a limit to bragging, isn't there? If this were true, wouldn't Nobel Prizes be awarded by the truckload?"
On social media abroad, the comments are filled with ridicule and disdain.
"Oh God, is it some kind of mysterious witchcraft from the East again?"
"I bet their treatment is to make patients forget that they are sick."
"Let's wait and see how they make a fool of themselves and how they'll handle it!"
However, the press conference continued.
"Secondly, for high-level paralysis caused by spinal cord injury, my country has developed 'bioelectric spinal cord bridging technology,' which can effectively restore limb function in patients. The success rate of clinical trials is 91%."
"The third point addresses the sequelae of polio..."
"Fourthly, in the field of new energy, we have successfully developed a 'solid-state hydrogen energy battery,' with an energy density that is significantly lower than that of existing lithium batteries. This battery is being used in new energy vehicles, high-speed trains, and even short-haul aircraft, and has already entered the mass production stage..."
The spokesperson casually announced a series of groundbreaking scientific and technological achievements that were enough to shock the world.
The whole world was first deathly silent, and then it was completely boiling over!
If the first item is bragging, then all these items combined are not just bragging, they're insane!
Domestic netizens also went from initial shock to elation and anticipation.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Really? My grandpa has Alzheimer's, he can't remember anyone, and he acts like a child every day..."
"My dad has been paralyzed for ten years since a car accident. If... if he could stand up again, I would kowtow to him!"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it! When has the country ever lied to us? Sign up! You have to sign up!"
Amidst countless doubts and expectations, the official application channel has officially opened.
Li Weiguo, a middle-aged man in his forties, stared intently at his phone screen with bloodshot eyes.
His father, Li Aiguo, was once a soldier, so physically strong he could kill a bull. But since being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease ten years ago, he has gradually lost all his memories.
He didn't recognize his son, his wife, or even himself. He just sat blankly in his wheelchair every day, staring out the window, occasionally throwing in a half-hearted military salute and mumbling, "Defend the country..."
Ten years have passed, and Li Weiguo's heart has long since died.
He quit his job to take care of his father wholeheartedly, thinking that this was how his life would be.
He only saw this press conference today.
Reason told him that this was impossible. How could a disease that even the world's top scientists couldn't cure be cured so easily?
Emotionally, however, a tiny, burning flame uncontrollably flickered in that heart that had long been frozen and lifeless.
What if?
What if... it's true?
With trembling hands, he filled in his father's name on the application page.
Soon, he received a call from the capital.
"Hello, are you a family member of Mr. Li Aiguo? Your treatment application has been approved. Please bring the patient to the designated sanatorium this Friday..."
At that moment, Li Weiguo, a man in his forties, held the phone and cried like a child.
One day later, at the sanatorium.
Li Weiguo pushed his father in a wheelchair into a bright treatment room. The so-called treatment was unbelievably simple.
A nurse placed a helmet-shaped device on Li Tieniu's head and then pressed a switch.
The instrument emitted a slight humming sound, but there was no pain.
Ten minutes later, the instrument stopped.
The nurse smiled and took off her helmet: "Okay, that's enough."
Li Weiguo's heart was in his throat.
He looked at his father in the wheelchair, who still had that blank expression and empty eyes.
A tremendous sense of disappointment overwhelmed him instantly.
So... it really was a lie?
He smiled bitterly, preparing to push his father away.
Just then, the old man in the wheelchair suddenly moved his cloudy eyes.
His gaze slowly focused on Li Weiguo's face.
His lips moved a few times, and a dry, hoarse, yet incredibly clear address squeezed out of his throat.
"Wei...Guo?"
boom!
Li Weiguo's mind went blank. He stood frozen in place, as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment.
He saw it; he saw a sparkle in his father's eyes. They were no longer empty, unfocused glass beads, but... the look of a father looking at his son.
"Dad?" Li Weiguo asked tentatively, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
The old man in the wheelchair looked at him, his cloudy eyes slowly filling with tears. He reached out his withered, trembling hand, wanting to touch his son's face.
"Weiguo...my...good son..."
"How come you... have aged so much..."
Li Weiguo could no longer hold back. He knelt down with a thud, grabbed his father's hand, pressed it against his stubble-covered face, and burst into tears.
"Dad! Dad! You recognize me! You finally recognize me!"
"Dad, my name is Weiguo! Weiguo, the name of protecting our home and country!"
This scene was faithfully captured by the sanatorium's cameras.
The same story continues to unfold in designated sanatoriums across the country.
A girl who had been paralyzed for fifteen years took her first steps for the second time in her life with the help of her mother.
For the first time, a boy whose muscles had atrophied due to polio straightened his back.
Countless videos, recordings, and tearful thank-you letters flooded the internet like snowflakes.
It's true! I can testify! My dad is better! He remembers me! He even remembers where he hid his secret stash of money!
[I can walk again! Brothers! I can play football again! Thank you, country! I have no regrets about being born Chinese!]
My son is finally cured! I never knew polio could be cured! Waaaaah... He's finally better...!
Domestic public opinion has completely shifted from anticipation to jubilation! A sense of pride and happiness permeates every corner.
Meanwhile, people abroad were completely dumbfounded.
From initial mockery to mid-term skepticism, and then to collective silence after seeing those irrefutable videos.
A CNN reporter, watching the video of Li Aiguo and his son's reunion on air, stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "This...this is unbelievable..."
The BBC's headline changed from "The Great Lie in the East" to "Have We Missed the Dawn of Human Medicine?"
Countless foreign patients' families flocked to the Chinese embassy like madmen, waving banknotes and pleading for treatment slots.
Some people who have plenty of money even apply for visas and fly directly to China!
"Please! I'll give you any amount of money! Save my father!"
"We demand technology sharing! It's a treasure for all humanity! You can't monopolize it!"
Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded simply and forcefully.
"I'm sorry, but both 'neuronal regeneration therapy' and 'bioelectric spinal cord bridging technology' are top secrets in my country and cannot be disclosed. Furthermore, my country's medical resources are currently limited, and we need to prioritize the needs of domestic patients. We are not accepting treatment applications from overseas individuals at this time."
No way! I just won't give it to you!
The world was in an uproar.
Leaders of some countries that are close to China immediately contacted the leader through secret channels.
"Old friend, look at the friendship between our two countries..."
"We can give out a few spots, ten for each country. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
Those countries that had previously been stirring up trouble and opposing China at every turn were turned away and were furious. They immediately united and launched a massive international protest, accusing China of pursuing "technological hegemony" and creating a "humanitarian crisis."
Even more concerning, intelligence agencies from several countries have quietly convened meetings and activated their highest-level emergency response plans, intending to dispatch their most elite spies to infiltrate China and steal relevant technologies at all costs.
In an instant, undercurrents surged and the winds of change swept across the blue planet.
Meanwhile, inside the Blue Star Valley base, unknown to everyone.
A system notification sounded in Zhou Jue's mind.
[Ding! New world coordinates being anchored...]
[Coordinates successfully locked!]
[World Type: Qin Dynasty (Ancient, Low-Martial Arts)]
[Task issued:]
Main Quest: Survive for 60 days.
[Side Quest: Pending Trigger]
[Note: Changing the course of Qin Dynasty history will not affect the current development of Earth.]
Zhou Jue's breathing suddenly stopped.
Great Qin!
It was actually the Qin Dynasty that swept across the land, standardized cart tracks and writing, and laid the foundation for China's two-thousand-year history!
Upon receiving the news, Zhang Shouz and Chen Jianguo rushed over immediately, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Xiao Jue, get ready!" Chief Zhang's voice trembled slightly: "We've prepared some 'local specialties' for you for this trip to Da Qin!"
He waved his hand, and behind him, boxes of sealed supplies were carried up.
"These are the highest-yielding hybrid rice, potato, and sweet potato seeds. These are penicillin and various antibiotics that we worked through the night to produce. This is a history of the Qin Dynasty and portraits of its figures, and this..."
Chen Jianguo handed over a tablet computer, which displayed optimized steelmaking technology, cement formulas, and... an incredibly detailed world map.
"Xiao Jue, tell the First Emperor that on this side of the map, there are vast territories waiting for him to conquer!"
