The old Academician Fang was pushed into the intensive care unit under everyone's gaze. His dry skin, thin arms, sunken eyes, and sparse white hair moved everyone present and quietly shed tears.
At this moment, everyone was enlightened.
So he was already so old, so he had been struggling to hold on, so all his strength and persistence were just an illusion!
"We've done a comprehensive examination for Elder Fang.”The doctor took off his sterile mask and looked at the old man behind the glass with admiration. He said,"Elder Fang's body is very healthy. There are only some hidden illnesses left behind during a special period of time, but they are not fatal. The reason why he fainted was because…"
The doctor was silent for a long time before saying,""The reason why he fainted is because the time is up. His organs have begun to fail, and the cell activity in his body has greatly decreased. There might be…there's still a month left!”
" At his age, he should be enjoying his old age and enjoying the happiness of his family. I really don't know what you're thinking to let him engage in high-intensity mental and physical labor.”The doctor shook his head and left with an endless sigh."He could have lived for a year, but now he only has a month left. It was best to let the old man live a happy life this month.”
" I…" Chu Feng looked at the doctor's back as he left. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
"I really don't know what you're thinking."
These words were like a sharp thorn that stabbed into Chu Feng's heart. It hurt so much that he could not make a sound.
It turned out that he was the one who did all of this. He was the one who 'murdered' the last of Fang Lao's life. He was the one who robbed Fang Lao of his last years.
If it wasn't for him, Elder Fang would have lived out his old age peacefully and enjoyed the happiness of his family. A year later, he would have left this world with glory. A hundred years later, his name would be recorded in the history textbooks of the Chinese nation.
But because of him, Elder Fang was once again on the front line of scientific research. With his exhausted body, he consumed the last candlelight of his life until he collapsed weakly…
The events of the past half a month flashed through his mind like a movie. Chu Feng had learned a lot from this old man.
Dedication, loyalty, righteousness, enlightenment, freedom, perseverance…He dedicated his life to the scientific research of his country until the end of his life!
An hour later, Academician Fang Zhihong woke up from his coma.
In the intensive care unit, everyone was silent.
Academician Fang Zhihong was still very weak, but there was no pain, no despair, and no longing for life on his face. There was only a sense of relief and freedom towards death. It was indeed as Chu Feng had said when he first met him.
"Eighty-eight, that's enough…"
Academician Fang Zhihong looked at Chu Feng and said indifferently,""It's a pity that we couldn't persist until the moment when the domestic engine was successfully developed. The future work will be handed over to you. You must build our own engine and tell those foreigners that China's manufacturing ability is not inferior to theirs!”
"Little Chu, you're the smartest person I've ever met in my life. I know that once you put all your energy into scientific research, the whole world will dance for you. However, you are afraid of trouble and don't like to be famous. You just want to do your own thing quietly. Here, I want to ask you for something.”
"Elder Fang, please speak."
Chu Feng held back his tears.
To Chu Feng, crying was a very embarrassing thing.
"I beg of you, use your strength and your wisdom bit by bit. Our country and our people need you. We need every single one of you to work hard!”Fang Zhihong's eyes were filled with tears.""A strong country with science and technology. Only when our technology is strong can our country truly become strong.”
" Mr. Deng is gone, Mr. Qian is gone, and I should be going too. The future of the Chinese nation is in your hands. I can rest assured, I can rest assured…"
"Good! Good! I promise you, Elder Fang, I promise you!”
"What a pity, I couldn't hold on…"
Elder Fang sighed helplessly. He had endured so many hardships back then. Why did he not persevere at the last moment? The old comrades who had fought hard in the desolate Gobi Desert had already left. Now, it was time for him to leave. They could finally tell them that China had developed its own engine, and it was developed by a young man…
The exhausted Elder Fang fell asleep.
Everyone left with grief.
In the afternoon, Elder Fang's family arrived. His son, grandson, and great-daughter were all living in the same house. It was a happy and perfect family.
The relevant leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academicians, government consolation groups, central consolation groups, military and political consolation groups, university consolation groups…In two days, countless people learned that Academician Fang didn't have much time left, and wave after wave of people came to express their condolences.
The first in command was visiting overseas and had specially taken the time to rush back to visit.
A border official specially asked for leave to visit.
The country's leaders who had already retired came to visit.
A group of special forces veterans came to visit.
A representative of a certain nuclear force came to visit.
……
In just two days, Chu Feng suddenly understood the meaning of Academician Fang Zhihong's dedication. Did he really not gain anything? Indeed, he didn't have tens of millions in assets, he didn't have a house in the First Ring Road, he didn't leave anything for his children, and he didn't fight for anything.
However, he had gained something that could not be described with words!
The respect of the country.
People's admiration.
His name would go down in history. Thousands of years later, many things would have been forgotten, but people would still remember an old man named Fang Zhihong! He had once dedicated his youth and life to the motherland and the people!
He was the true…soul of the nation!
"Go get me my computer. I want to work. I have to work! Do you want me to sit here and wait for death? I still have work to do. I have to do it. It's a mission given to me by my motherland and the people!”
The old man's voice echoed in the hospital corridor.
Everyone burst into tears.
Chu Feng couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears of "embarrassment" flowed out.
……
I would like to pay high respect to all the researchers who have dedicated their lives to the motherland and the people!
