Chapter 53: Phantom Limb Pain
The cool, sharp composite casing, hydraulic and electric motor drives give people a bone-chilling cold. When ordinary people see this robotic arm, which is completely modeled after a real person's arm, they will immediately be provoked to react defensively. The power of this thing is unpredictable, and it looks very dangerous.
Mr. Chen stepped over the cable on the ground, stretched out his large, wrinkled hand, and tightly grasped the palm of the bionic robotic arm. Then he raised his left hand and lifted this robotic arm hanging from a motorized stand. The robotic arm is made entirely of aerospace materials, so it is extremely light in terms of strength.
Step by step, Mr. Chen held this robotic arm, walked to the single bed, bent down and gently placed it next to the person's right shoulder. This moment made the person on the hospital bed look much more normal, and the other party also regained a normal expression, he was the head wolf Bill, the first mercenary pilot in the South Seas.
At this moment, his chin and beard are clean and smooth, his slightly long Marine head is neatly shaped, and his eyes are confident and bright, even better than in the castle tower. It's just that he lost his entire right arm.
After Chief Chen put the mechanical arm away, he dragged a jujube swivel chair from the side and sat down, like an elder caressing a junior, he pressed the cold mechanical arm lightly, as if holding the real arm of a wolf, and said slowly: "Ah...... These days, are you sleeping well? â
The head wolf didn't respond, stared at President Chen, twitched his lips for a while, and said with a smile: "It hurts!" There is no pain in the limbs. I would wake up every night in pain, and when I turned my head, there was nothing in the pain. I thought, it must be a ghost in my arm calling me. â
"Oh......" Mr. Chen sighed deeply, as if it contained a heart that could not be let go of for decades, "Bill, I want to say a word to you this old man." I wanted to say this to another person a few years ago, but he didn't give me a chance. â
"Huh?" The head wolf looked at this old guy, and the chief Chen in front of him was his father's "old friend" and the owner of the money. This guy is close to his father, and he pretends to be disgusting like a father all day long to "care" about him. Today, I'm afraid I'm coming to teach again. The head wolf knew that Mr. Chen was arrogant outside, and the "kindness" that came to him was all pretended.
"I told your father about it. It was this incident that brought your father and I across the boundaries between friend and foe and come together. â
"I don't want to say a word to him, old fellow. Anyway, you drove the female nurse away, and it just so happens that I'm bored when I'm idle, so let's talk about it, uncle. â
"You know, my ex-wife left me a son. If he's still alive, he'd be about your age. President Chen shook his head slightly, "He is also as strong as you, especially the muscle lines in his legs, I am very impressed, he is a natural athlete." He has been a champion in the athletic meet since middle school. I've heard him say he wants to go to the Olympics in the future. He was a silly kid at the time, but he had a look of confidence in his eyes, which I still remember. â
The head wolf leaned against the bed, although he was sent to a top five private high school by his parents when he was a child, he skipped school, fought and ganged up to do everything. He pursed his lips and made a gesture with the robotic arm: "Good baby?" I've always loved bullying like that. â
Chief Chen held the robotic arm of the head wolf again, and then said: "Later, no one can hide from that war, whether it is you, me, or my son. Chief Chen looked up at the head wolf, "He joined the army, and when he heard about the war, he was elated." I guess you young people are like that. â
The head wolf sneered in his heart, maybe he and this son of Chief Chen had met on the battlefield: "I hope I haven't met your son, hehe, he also hopes so." "Anyway, it's now the end of the war, and refugees are pouring in everywhere, and we are already confused. The bitter enemies during the Great War are now business partners.
However, the head wolf's father did not think like President Chen when the war broke out. As soon as he heard that there was going to be a war, the old thing was so happy that he couldn't immediately send himself to the battlefield. As long as he can get rid of raising him, Daddy will definitely be willing to do anything.
Chief Chen is still stuck in his own memories: "I want to keep him, but it is useless, and in the end I can only hope that he can survive the war safely." So he did everything possible to entrust someone and arrange for him to serve on the river patrol boat, and he was a little relieved. I always felt that this battle would not affect the mainland. â
The head wolf heard that it was a patrol boat, so I'm afraid it was none of his own business. He is a dignified air supremacy fighter pilot, who will pay attention to patrol boats.
"He didn't encounter the slightest battle, and he didn't encounter a single enemy." "But he had an accident and broke two legs while operating the bow fairlead. When the ship returns to port, it can only be amputated. But at that time, I didn't know what he thought, but I just thought that as long as I could save my life, it would be enough. â
"Saving your life?" The head wolf was disdainful of this, and he didn't know why his father wanted to cooperate with this group of yellow-skinned monkeys.
"yes." Mr. Chen looked at the mechanical arm on the bed, "The war is over, and after he lost his legs, he was depressed all day long. I told him that if he regretted it, he didn't have to, and he couldn't get back what he had lost. He doesn't have to have any baggage, I can support him for the rest of my life. â
"If it were me, I'd hold up the broken leg to my dad all day long," the head wolf controlled the mechanical arm, lifted it, and then flipped his palm, "I want him to see that his son won't let him go so lightly." â
"I wish my son could be like you. No matter how much he hates me, I don't care. â
"Oh?" The head wolf lowered his arm and tilted his head to look at Chief Chen.
"Soon after the war, he committed suicide." Mr. Chen said, "He, like you, has the pain that his leg doesn't have to pass on to him. But he couldn't stand it, he woke up crying every night, he said he felt those feet still there, he still wanted to run, he wanted to go to the Olympics. Every time he woke up from crying, he started to take painkillers non-stop, but no matter how much he ate, it didn't work, and he also broke his stomach. I called a lot of doctors for him, but to no avail. Finally one night, ......" Speaking of this, President Chen lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
Bill the head wolf shrugged and rolled his eyes, he didn't understand the world of the yellow-skinned monkey. Just now he said that he felt the pain from the broken arm of the zĂ i, and there were indeed some, but it was not strict, to be exact, it was quite fun.
Chief Chen raised his head: "How I had hoped that after he regained his strength, I would say to him, 'Son, I am proud of you'. But there was no chance. But...... Bill, now I want to say to you, 'I'm so proud of you,' and I think if your father came to see you, he would be proud too." â
"Is he here then?" "He used to sleep with those magazine cover girls than go home," said the wolf. After the war, all the magazines that served men were changed to semi-monthly, and I saw enough of him being busy. â
"You'll understand what I'm saying, Bill." When Chief Chen said this, he patted the head wolf's mechanical arm, then stood up, paced two steps, and turned his back to the head wolf, at this time his expression and tone restored the majesty of the chief of the three armies, "I am very honored to cooperate with your father. The efforts I made were originally for my son. Now, the hard work of me and your father will be fulfilled in you. You, Bill the Wolf, are also the one I have high hopes for. We're working together to make you the greatest superpilot of all time, fitting you with this arm with divine powers; You should feel lucky because you happened to lose an arm. â
"Ha, haha," the head wolf laughed, "my arm fell into the water, and a god came out of the water to reward me with a new golden arm?" â
Chief Chen turned around and took two steps to the other side of the bed, his expression becoming fierce and wonderful: "Remember the guy who cut off your arm?" Remember? â
The head wolf turned his face and showed a fierce look: "Of course I remember!" The mixture of anger and excitement made him tremble slightly.
"Hmph, after you were rescued, I rushed over immediately. As soon as I looked at the wound, I knew it was the thing that came back to life. Chief Chen smiled, "In addition to the Hundred Day Ghost, what else has such power." But, Bill, there's no need for you to be afraid of it now. â
"Huh? I'm not afraid of it! The head wolf roared angrily, although he was afraid or not, he knew that he could not win against the monster of the "Hundred Day Ghost".
Chief Chen walked over slowly, and the side of his face was reflected by the display screen next to him with a blue-green glow: "Do you know what is sitting in the cockpit of the Hundred Days Ghost?" â
"What do you say? There are people sitting in the 100-day ghosts? â
"Not people." Mr. Chen raised the left half of his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was a little weird, making people feel confident and fierce.
The head wolf stared at Chief Chen's face tightly, his teeth clenched, and he didn't say a word.
Chief Chen put his hands behind his back again, left the bedside, and said slowly: "'Wooden Man', that's what we call it, that's the terminal part of the whole system of the Hundred Day Ghost. Combining the stunts of our best fighter aces and countless actual combat maneuver experience, any ordinary rookie can quickly become a super ace, and the output terminal of the human-assisted control system in the ring. Speaking of this, he took two more steps, "This arm in your hand is almost exactly the same as the arm of the 'Wooden Man' system, and so is the function. â
"Fuck, I thought it was this prosthetic." The head wolf snorted disdainfully, he raised his mechanical arm and turned left and right, "I don't need any broken systems from you, I just need a complete right arm, can break the joystick, and can hold the girl, it's enough." I'm not interested in other people's stuff. â
"No," said Mr. Chen, "it's your arm now." You can feel the pain in it, can't you? That's right, it's the arm that conveys its feelings to you. Bill, this arm has chosen you. You will use it to defeat the Hundred Day Ghost and become the first trump card in the South Seas. â
The head wolf manipulated the arm and raised it in front of him, moving each finger, retracting and unfolding it one by one. He stared at the mechanical arm in distraction, then gritted his teeth and said slowly, "I still have a duel that I haven't understood...... Explain to me the beating of that good dog, and when I slaughter him, it's not too late to be the hero again. â
