Chapter 196 Smuggling (Part 1)

When Wei Hongsi received the message from Zheng Han, he hadn't gotten out of bed yet, but he was already awake and checking the weather on his phone.

Upon seeing the message, he quickly got up, washed up, and got ready to leave as fast as possible.

Although Zheng Han did not mention any progress, the timing of this news must indicate significant gains, and Wei Hongsi was eager to know the details as soon as possible.

Furthermore, the experts in the decoding team likely worked through the night. Going over early to finish the communication will allow them to get some rest. After all, Professor Zheng and the others aren't young anymore, and frequently staying up late is very bad for their health.

As he went downstairs, Wei Hongsi sent a message to Xia Shiyu, telling him to go to the company by himself in the morning; Zheng Han replied, telling him that he would arrive in half an hour.

At this time in the morning, there weren't many cars on the road, and it only took me about twenty minutes to drive to the old campus.

Wei Hongsi parked his car outside the supercomputing center and saw Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng walking into the building, so he quickly went up to them and greeted them.

Yu Xiufeng smiled and said, "Teacher Wei arrived so quickly!"

Wei Hongsi also said with a smile, "I happened to wake up early today and saw Teacher Zheng's message, so I left as soon as possible."

Zheng Han was very pleased to see Wei Hongsi arrive so quickly. This young man was very considerate. She smiled and said, "I was afraid of disturbing Teacher Wei's rest, but Teacher Wei was afraid of delaying our rest."

The three entered the decoding operations room, where Zheng Han showed Wei Hongsi the five sets of comparative interpretations and made some additions.

After Wei Hongsi finished reading, Zheng Han said, "I think Chen Xuemin was also implanted with some of that female elder's memories, similar to Mu Jie's situation. Perhaps every member of the Guide Light Society who is on the move has received memory implantation from a high-level core member, essentially becoming a clone of those high-level members."

Wei Hongsi agreed, saying, "That's very likely."

Zheng Han added, "Those alter egos subtly influence those who are being indoctrinated, and when necessary, they can become dominant, triggering a 'circuit breaker' mechanism."

Yu Xiufeng said, "This explains why members of the Light Guide Society are not afraid of death. Because they are just tools of the higher-ups, which is completely consistent with their behavior of implanting carbon nanoarrays into ordinary people for manipulation."

Wei Hongsi nodded: "I agree with the analysis of the two teachers."

Zheng Han said, "However, there's still one question I haven't figured out. Why are those split consciousnesses able to exist independently in Mu Jie and the others' brains, without being merged or disappearing? In the various dream interpretations, there haven't been any independent narratives of the split consciousnesses, nor have there been any mixed narratives of dual consciousnesses. Why is that?"

Wei Hongsi asked, "Are you two teachers familiar with the concept of the anchor point of consciousness that I proposed?"

Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng both nodded, and the relevant information would be shared with them by the leading group.

Wei Hongsi said, "I speculate that there are two possibilities. Take Mu Jie as an example. The anchor point of his main personality is the same as the anchor point of that elder's clone, so the latter will not disappear."

"Another possibility is that the elder's alter ego consciousness and Mu Jie's anchor point were originally one. The narrative we see about totems and creeds is a shared narrative of that alter ego consciousness and Mu Jie's main personality. There is no competitive inhibition between the two, so there won't be a mixed narrative that interferes with each other."

Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Wei Hongsi's conjecture was extremely bold.

Wei Hongsi added, "Do the two teachers remember that Mu Jie received an indoctrination after hiding in his safe house? I suspect that members of the Light Guiding Society need to receive this kind of indoctrination regularly or irregularly, depending on the situation, to strengthen their consciousness anchors and implant new clone consciousnesses."

Yu Xiufeng nodded and said, "That makes sense! After Mu Jie went into hiding, there was a possibility of him being captured. Strengthening his consciousness anchor at this time to prevent him from leaking secrets makes sense."

Wei Hongsi said, "There's another point. Mu Jie and Chen Xuemin were only seven or eight years old when they first received the memory implantation. Over the years, they have continued to grow, constantly receiving information from the outside world, and their thinking has also changed. The elders who implanted their memory fragments into them are also getting older. In order to keep matching with their clones, the implanted memories should also be updated."

Zheng Han nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Wei Hongsi said, "If our speculations are correct, the principle of the 'circuit breaker mechanism' becomes easier to explain."

""

"Oh?" Zheng Han said with some surprise, "Please have Teacher Wei analyze this."

He felt that the latest interpretation was useful for cracking the "circuit breaker mechanism," mainly from the perspective of the triggering mechanism. However, Wei Hongsi was talking about the underlying principle, which he had not considered.

Wei Hongsi said, "In the brains of members of the Light Guide Society, the 'fuse-out mechanism,' the subconscious firewall, the anchor point of consciousness, and the consciousness of a certain higher level are an organic whole. After receiving the memory infusion, members will simultaneously receive many fragments of consciousness."

These fragments of consciousness did not merge with or disappear from the main personality's consciousness; instead, they were kneaded together and attached to the main personality's consciousness. At the same time, the main personality used these consciousness anchors to exert strong control over those external consciousnesses.

"Once the firewall is breached, the consciousness anchor will also disappear, triggering the 'circuit breaker mechanism.' At this point, the 'main personality' will be bombarded by hundreds or even thousands of fragments of consciousness that do not belong to it. Even if it doesn't cause brain death, it will turn into an idiot."

"Hundreds or thousands?" Yu Xiufeng said in disbelief. "Could there really be that many?"

Wei Hongsi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, after all, the difference between implanting ten and one hundred memory fragments is only the time it takes."

"We have to consider their tolerance level," Yu Xiufeng said, then shook his head. "They won't care about that."

Zheng Han frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then other people's 'circuit breaker mechanisms' won't be easy to break."

They all knew that Mu Jie was an exception.

Judging from Mu Jie's individual dream narratives, he felt extremely guilty and remorseful after his parents' death, which can be considered a severe psychological trauma. This may have given rise to his second personality. Therefore, when receiving memory implantation, his "id" could be hidden, which directly caused a bug in his "circuit breaker mechanism".

There's simply no way to replicate someone like Mu Jie.

Wei Hongsi said, "We can think of solutions, but let's not rush to conclusions."

Yu Xiufeng asked in surprise, "Is there really a way to do this? Teacher Wei, please tell us."

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "I can't be sure if it will work out yet. Why don't you two rest for a bit, and I'll report back to you after I've had a good night's sleep."
