Chapter 188 Suspect (Part 2)
At nine o'clock in the morning, Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang arrived at Zhiwei Company. Wei Hongsi picked them up and took them to the laboratory on the 11th floor.
The construction of "Neural Bridge 2.0" is basically complete. They need to integrate it with the hardware environment to achieve the final implementation. The police experts will arrive this afternoon to conduct a demonstration and verification.
Both Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang were visiting Zhiwei for the first time, and they were full of praise for the working environment.
Feng Weixu said, "If I had known Zhiwei was this good, I should have come to work here too."
Jiang Haiyang retorted, "Stop dreaming. You're only suited to be a teacher in school."
Feng Weixu retorted, "You say I can't do it, but do you think you can?"
Jiang Haiyang smiled and said, "I should be able to, but I prefer the school environment."
Wei Hongsi reminded them, "Let's get to work first, then we can chat."
Jiang Haiyang then said to Feng Weixu, "See? President Wei has spoken. In a company, you have to be prepared to be a beast of burden. You can't do it."
Feng Weixu glanced at him and didn't respond.
Wei Hongsi assigned tasks, and then the three of them each led a few engineers to get started.
Feng Weixu's research direction is most compatible with brain-computer interfaces. He was also the main person in charge of the subsequent improvement work of "The Other Shore". Therefore, Wei Hongsi gave him more leadership.
When the work was more than halfway done, Feng Weixu came to Wei Hongsi and asked, "Did you add another module to our original design?"
Wei Hongsi said, "Yes, I want to use it to verify a hypothesis. This module will not interfere with what we have already completed."
Feng Weixu said, "I know, but I'm really curious what this content you added is for. Why do you need an extra branch? Can one device be used by two people at the same time?"
Wei Hongsi didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "You're right."
"Huh?" Feng Weixu's eyes widened. "This is for people with multiple personality disorder? Interesting!"
Wei Hongsi smiled at him but didn't offer any further explanation. Explaining the matter clearly would inevitably involve the specifics of the case.
This new module was based on the idea he came up with in the early hours of the morning: to use multiple personality disorder to bypass the subconscious firewall of the members of the Light Guide Society.
He delegated most of the work to his two senior colleagues, and his main task was to complete this part of the content.
While it remains to be verified whether all members of the Light Guide Society have received external memory implantation, Wei Hongsi believes that Mu Jie definitely did.
In Mu Jie's dream narrative, Zhou Huai and Chen Xuemin are both described as "young people." The most reasonable explanation is that he was influenced by implanted memories and his perception of his "true self" age is higher than his actual physical age.
Furthermore, Mu Jie had something very special about him: he triggered the "circuit breaker" mechanism but didn't die. The police used this bug to find a breakthrough, but they didn't know how this bug occurred.
Wei Hongsi initially thought it was an isolated incident and that it would be difficult to find the real reason, but after recovering his memories from his childhood, he had a hypothesis.
Based on the information we have, although Mu Jie is an important member of the Guiding Light Society in Yuecheng, his status seems to be a level lower than that of Chen Xuemin, Zhou Huai, and the three Professors Finch.
According to the dream interpretation fragments of Mu Jie, he was unaware of Chen Xuemin's true identity and harbored great dissatisfaction with her being his guide.
This seems to suggest that Mujie was not entirely convinced by some of the Light Guide Society's arrangements. In a religious organization, this would be tantamount to a lack of devout faith.
Perhaps this is why his status is lower than the others.
A lack of devout faith indicates that his anchor point of consciousness is not stable enough. Therefore, there must exist other consciousnesses in his brain besides his "id," which is probably the real reason why his "circuit breaker mechanism" malfunctions.
If this hypothesis is correct, then we can use "Neural Bridge Protection 2.0" to continue seeking breakthroughs from Mu Jie.
It was for this reason that Wei Hongsi felt it was necessary to add the corresponding modules immediately. Although doing so seemed a bit hasty, it would be very helpful for the investigation of the case, which was exactly what the task force needed.
The Light Guide Society's drastic measures in KR to prevent those patients from coming to Yuecheng were clearly targeted. Although they didn't know the fate of their core members in Yuecheng, they were certain they were in the hands of the C country's authorities, which meant they were essentially dead.
Regardless of whether the Light Guide Society intends to retaliate or admit defeat and dare not enter Country C again, the sooner the case is solved and the Light Guide Society's secret methods are revealed, the better for the authorities.
Seeing that Wei Hongsi didn't elaborate, Feng Weixu didn't ask any further questions. This was a study commissioned by the police, and he knew there were some things he shouldn't ask about, nor was there any need to inquire.
The three of them worked until noon, and all the preparations were completed. They were just waiting for Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng to come over in the afternoon to verify and test the results together.
Wei Hongsi led Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang to the third floor of the company restaurant and seated them in a small private room. He had told Gu Shiming beforehand that the two were coming, and Gu Shiming was specifically waiting for them to eat together. The four brothers sat together in a very relaxed atmosphere.
After the meal, Wei Hongsi took the two to his office on the 16th floor to rest.
Although Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang had heard the engineers call Wei Hongsi "General Manager Wei" before, they didn't feel much about it. In the workplace, titles are given by address, just like how they were often called "Doctor".
However, the scale of this office clearly reflects the social class of the people working there. Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang had visited many companies and were quite familiar with this.
Feng Weixu joked, "No wonder Haiyang said I'm not suited to working in a company. He's right. I reckon I'm only good enough to be a chief engineer at best."
Jiang Haiyang leaned back on the sofa, looking around as he said, "You're a chief engineer, so don't think it's easy."
Wei Hongsi placed two bottles of drinks on the coffee table and asked, "Do you want to take a nap?"
Jiang Haiyang said, "I need to take a nap, otherwise I won't have any energy in the afternoon."
Feng Weixu said, "I don't use it, I'm not used to it."
Wei Hongsi, who usually doesn't take a lunch break, pulled Feng Weixu to sit on the other side, giving the sofa to Jiang Haiyang.
He happened to have something he wanted to ask Feng Weixu, but hadn't had a chance to before: "How much would the effectiveness of this device we're currently developing be improved if used on teenagers?"
Feng Weixu said, "There is no fully quantifiable indicator for how much they will improve. But compared to adults, teenagers have at least five advantages."
