Chapter 639: Return of the King
A lakeside villa in Central Europe has now been transformed into a top-level ward.
A large number of expensive medical instruments can be seen in the room.
This is where Shuma, once known as the king of racing cars, currently lives.
The most famous racing driver of all time, Schumacher escaped from the sport unscathed only to fall into a coma following a skiing accident.
However, his wife Colleen did not choose to give up, but chose to spend a high cost to prolong his life.
Switzerland has an extremely developed medical industry, and coupled with Schumacher's own wealth, he was pulled back from the brink of death.
Later, with the advent of Umbrella's culture medium, relying on some new drug tests based on the culture medium, the King of Racing, who might have almost remained in a coma, finally woke up from his coma.
It's just that he just woke up and can't even communicate with words.
But it just so happened that at this time, Umbrella's brain-computer device appeared.
After repeated discussions among many top doctors, it was decided to use this set of equipment to provide him with some rehabilitation training, and the results were unexpectedly amazing.
This time, another group of doctors came to the scene for consultation.
"Shuma, how do you feel?"
A man in a white coat looked with some emotion at the former racing king, whose body had shrunk to about 1.6 meters due to years of bedriddenness, and felt a little sad.
"Feeling? It feels great! I seem to have found my old goal again! Umbrella..., how long have I been unconscious? Can you give me an exact number?"
A burst of electronic sound came from a small speaker at the head of the bed.
This is the connectivity achieved through brain-computer interface devices.
The functional modules of Shuma's brain itself were not damaged. The relatively big impact was on the external connections. Now he can't even speak and can only move his eyes.
But all of this can solve many problems with brain-computer connection devices.
At least it allows him to communicate with the outside world and understand the situation.
Originally, these doctors just wanted to use the brain-computer interface to complete some tests to see how Shuma was doing.
But the result was unexpectedly good!
There was no damage to the main functional areas of the brain.
After some debugging using the brain-computer chip, the sound problem was solved.
There have even been attempts to attach prosthetic limbs.
However, just as Umbrella did not launch supporting equipment for patients with high paraplegia, the issues that need to be considered here are rather complicated.
(Note: High-level paraplegia is not a vegetative state, there is a fundamental difference.)
Shuma's body has now shrunk to about 1.6 meters, so it is really not suitable for them to force him to put on a brace and start exercising.
We have to find a way to carry out some comprehensive repairs.
But just as they were discussing and putting forward various opinions.
The situation then occurred where Ma Dong went to Penglai to receive treatment in the medical cabin.
Later it was revealed that Penglai had a more advanced medical system.
This immediately led this group of famous doctors to reach a unanimous conclusion.
If there is a place that can truly save him, it is undoubtedly Umbrella!
So they made some suggestions to Shuma's wife.
Originally, they were planning to wait for Penglai to open and then spend the money directly.
Considering Shuma's worth, even though he has spent a lot so far, it is still easy.
But after Shuma found out, he decided to participate in person!
After considering Shuma's physical condition, the doctors finally agreed to let him try.
After all, I have been lying down for so long, I really need a place to relax.
For this competition, a professional team was hired to conduct special training.
As the former racing king, Schumacher also got the hang of it at an astonishing speed.
However, even though Shuma has already started participating in the competition and has secured a guaranteed spot, he still feels like he is living in a dream.
Have I been sleeping for more than just this long?
Why does the world change when I wake up?
"Umbrella suddenly appeared, and we were caught off guard. They directly changed the world."
“It’s hard to describe their achievements in a short period of time, but they are indeed a very young company, which only appeared in the year when your accident happened.”
"Umbrella is good at creating miracles. I think your best hope lies with them."
"Through the current brain-computer test, we know that the main functional have not been damaged much. His reactions and thoughts can easily generate corresponding signals, but his brain's external connection function has been greatly damaged."
"Yes, so even if Umbrella Corporation only has the previous performance, and can recover Shuma's weak body, perhaps it can complete the remaining operations with some prosthetic limbs, which is at least much more convenient than lying in bed now."
While they were discussing the situation , a nurse suddenly came in and said to Shuma's wife Colleen:
"Ma'am, a reporter wants to interview Mr. Shuma."
Hearing this, Colleen couldn't help showing a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Didn't we tell them not to bother us? This is despicable."
Colleen and Shuma still have a strong relationship.
After Shuma got into trouble, Colleen, who had been protected by Shuma for the first half of her life, chose to protect Shuma for the rest of his life in her own way.
In fact, some doctors had already suggested "euthanasia" at the time, because the medical conditions were so poor that unless a miracle happened, all that would be left was pain.
This is especially true when we can tell from his brain waves that Shuma himself is conscious.
But this was rejected by Colleen.
If she had agreed, she could have legally obtained Shuma's property and lived a carefree life in the second half of her life, but in the end she chose to fight the disease.
Try to use drugs to relieve the pain and put him in a coma-like state to prevent the loneliness of complete confinement from driving him crazy.
A lot of money and energy was spent to keep Shuma alive.
Now, in fact, to some extent, it is also a victory for her persistence. At least she has seen hope.
She has always been very low-key, actively receiving treatment and rarely accepting media interviews.
She also didn't want the outside world to see the powerful Shuma become like this.
Originally, there was nothing wrong.
However, Shuma's sudden appearance at the Starry Sky Cup Mecha Competition immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Even though he has faded from people's sight for so many years, Shuma's reputation has not diminished at all!
This naturally caused a huge sensation and became a huge topic.
In this situation, it seemed natural that more reporters came over.
"Honey, I thought maybe I could have a little chat with the journalist."
Shuma apparently also heard this through the external device and said it to his wife.
He was naturally very grateful to his wife for giving him the hope of a new life.
He also knew the strain these years had put on his wife.
However, now that I have woken up, even if I am still lying in bed, I should still be the one to block the strong wind and rain outside!
