Chapter 901 Miracle in Medical History

As Xia Shiyu predicted, the economic crisis arrived as scheduled, sweeping across the world from the Mediterranean Sea with lightning speed. Even though OPEC members have announced production increases, they still have nothing to do with the overall upward oil price.

It should be known that production capacity is only one aspect of the factors restricting prices, not all factors. The civil war in Turkey has cut off the southern corridor of European energy, and the Ukraine issue and sanctions against Russia have completely blocked the natural gas pipeline from the east to Europe.

Extremist forces such as IS, which grow wildly like weeds, have also brought the oil production capacity of the Middle East to the bottom.

The attack on the Pilsen synagogue was just a spark.

The turmoil in the stock prices of the industries under the thirteen consortiums directly detonated a crisis that had accumulated strength for a long time.

The global economy once again ushered in a disaster not inferior to that in 2008. The Dow Jones Index of the New York Stock Exchange missed the threshold, and the "croupiers" on Wall Street rang the bell for reshuffle.

The first to fall was India. Restricted by geological conditions, India is a severely oil-poor country with very few natural gas reserves. As an emerging economy that is embarking on the road to heavy industry, the level of oil prices directly restricts the country's lifeline.

With the rise of oil prices, India's crude oil import bill has also continued to rise, and the crisis has been further exacerbated. The cost of production and transportation rose sharply, exports fell, and investors withdrew, followed by a sharp increase in the Indian government's fiscal deficit, which eventually triggered a crisis in external payments.

Countless companies have closed down, the unemployment rate in all countries has increased by more than a little bit, and the consumer index has fallen to a historic low. Affected by the aftermath, Future Group's global business also suffered considerable losses, and these losses were intuitively reflected in the November financial report.

However, compared with other companies, Future Group, which focuses on cutting-edge fields, has been relatively less affected.

Because the acreage of oil crops continues to expand, the factories under the Future Group at least do not need to worry about high oil prices. As for other commodities whose prices are driven by crude oil, Futureman Group can also rely on Mindanao, the Philippines and Madagascar, the three raw material suppliers, to relieve some of the pressure.

The global economic situation is in a downturn, and Jiang Chen has gradually shifted the focus of investment to space beyond the earth. The real enemy is more than ten light-years away, and the Freemasonry is indeed a big trouble, but in comparison, he has more important things that must be arranged in advance.

The space elevator is basically completed, and some plans that could not be launched can also be gradually launched.

But before that, Jiang Chen still needs to do one more thing.

...

Koro Island Central Hospital,

This hospital, funded and built by the Future Human Group, gathers the most cutting-edge technology of Future Human. Many difficult and miscellaneous diseases that cannot be solved by modern medicine can be treated to a certain extent here, or even completely eradicated.

The entrance of the hospital was blocked by reporters and broadcast vans. People stared at the door with expectant eyes, just like devout believers, as if they were waiting for some miracle to happen.

At this moment, in the special consultation room of the hospital, there stood a training cabin entangled in pipelines. On the surface of the training cabin, a screen about the size of a palm is inlaid, and in the center of the screen is a number similar to a countdown.

When the number returned to zero, the medical staff in the room swarmed up, emptied the culture fluid in the culture cabin, opened the culture cabin, released the respirator and pipelines with different functions on the patient, and finally lifted him onto the mobile bed and sent him to the recovery room. fitness room.

There was a commotion downstairs, and if it wasn't for the security guards, the impatient reporters might have rushed upstairs.

Who on earth can receive this honor?

That's right, the person lying on the hospital bed at the moment is none other than Hawking, a famous physicist and patient with ALS.

Before being sent to the rehabilitation room, he had already opened his eyes and saw Jiang Chen at the door of the rehabilitation room. He used his vocal chords to speak intermittently the first sentence in decades.

"Where is my wheelchair?"

Jiang Chen smiled, didn't answer him, and watched him being carried into the rehabilitation room.

For the 22nd century, where medical technology is highly developed, ALS is not an unsolvable problem. And the reason why he lay in the training cabin for so long was mainly to repair the muscle cells and neurons in his body that were necrotic due to paralysis.

In the rehabilitation room, accompanied by medical staff, Hawking held on to the two handrails, like a baby learning to walk, regaining the feeling of walking. His expression was quite excited, and every time he took a step forward, incoherent words were squeezed out of his trembling lips.

The nurse in charge of supporting him could only distinguish two words.

"Unbelievable," and "God."

More than an hour later, Hawking, who was able to walk on crutches, walked out of the rehabilitation room accompanied by two medical staff. Learning to walk again is not an easy task, especially for an elderly person who has been in a wheelchair for decades.

Looking at the old man whose face was full of excitement and gratitude, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"How does it feel?"

"Kick me, I need to confirm whether I am dreaming." Hawking reluctantly replied in substandard English.

"Haha, please leave this kind of thing to your son and daughter. It's really surprising. I originally planned to prepare a keyboard and amplifier for you, but I didn't expect it to be less than two hours, and you' Learned how to speak." Jiang Chen teased.

"Where are they? I want to meet them right now!"

"They're downstairs," Jiang Chen pointed to the direction of the stairs, "but before you go downstairs, you'd better get ready, because it's already surrounded by reporters."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Hawking, who was eagerly walking towards the stairs, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with embarrassment.

"Can you drive them all away?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"We made an appointment. If I cure you, the first thing you need to do for me is to be interviewed by reporters."

"I'm a patient now, I need to rest!" Hawking said unwillingly.

"But people are eager to know the truth, and I have no right to stop them." Jiang Chen spread his hands and said innocently, "Think about it, we cured a patient with advanced frostbite, this is simply enough to be recorded in medical history. A miracle. Those doctors who are busy with your health must also look forward to your appearance in front of the media, don't you plan to do something for them?"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that touched the stubborn old man. After going downstairs, Hawking was interviewed by the media.

"Thanks to Jiang Chen, thanks to Future Life, and thanks to the nursing staff of Keluo Central Hospital, I feel very good now. There are many things I want to do now, among which the most I want to do is hug my wife, my son, Daughters... I owe them this hug for too long. Also, I would like to see my wheelchair, which I will give to the Queen of England soon. I am sorry to secede from the British nationality, but the Pannu Islands have historically been British Part of the Commonwealth, luckily I don't have to betray my oath..."

Hawking spoke slowly, but none of the reporters seemed impatient. Everyone can feel the expression of true feelings in his words and the excitement of overcoming the disease. His wife and children pushed through the crowd and embraced the old man.

The Times reporter wiped the corners of his eyes and left this warm picture on the photo and on the cover of The Times the next day.

At the same time, the fame of Future Human Biology and Future Human Medicine also spread to the whole world following the news of Hawking's recovery. The beta-4 UAV, which was originally unsalable due to the economic crisis, was also digested by the North American market at an incredible speed.

The original rumor that it was impossible for the Future Group to cure Hawking was also self-defeating. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
