Chapter 177 New Image (Part 1)

On Friday morning, Wei Hongsi took Xia Shiyu to the Third Research Institute to provide technical support for the last "death order" removal surgery.

The patient undergoing surgery that day was Xia Yuansheng, whose condition was the most complex. To increase the success rate of the surgery, the treatment team wanted to accumulate more experience before proceeding, so they scheduled him for last.

Upon arrival, Xia Shiyu parted ways with Wei Hongsi to meet up with his family, who were there as a patient's family member.

Wei Hongsi went to the same monitoring room as before. Besides him, Feng Weixu, Jiang Haiyang, and police neuroscience experts Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng also came. The latter two came specifically at Wei Hongsi's request.

Although Wei Hongsi was not present during the second to fourth "death order" removal surgeries, he carefully reviewed the data from the surgical process, which led to the development of an idea.

He plans to upgrade the "neural bridge protection" and modify the "cognitive reconstruction method," then combine the two to dismantle the subconscious firewall of the core members of the Light Guide Society. If successful, this would become the cornerstone for breaking the "circuit breaker mechanism."

He invited Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng over to discuss and refine this idea together. Recently, these two have been leading the "dream interpretation" work and are more familiar with the brain conditions of the five core members of the Light Guiding Society, so they can offer practical and reasonable opinions and suggestions.

The process of conducting a comprehensive and in-depth scan of Xia Yuansheng's brain is an excellent opportunity for observation and deduction.

Wei Hongsi first explained his ideas to several experts, and then they discussed the treatment process while monitoring it.

The treatment lasted until after 3 p.m. During this time, it was interrupted several times due to special circumstances in the patient's brain, and there was also a particularly dangerous situation. Fortunately, the final result was still ideal.

However, these interruptions were not entirely bad. For Wei Hongsi and his team, they generated more data that could be used for research. By the time the surgery was over, the construction plan for "Neural Bridge 2.0" was nearing completion.

This intense work left everyone exhausted, but the results were very gratifying, so their spirits were still quite good.

Wei Hongsi thanked Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng, who had come all the way there.

Both men said it was their duty and they shouldn't thank them; as police officers, they should be the ones thanking Wei Hongsi and his colleagues.

Yu Xiufeng ran his fingers through his messy hair and said, "Teacher Wei, I have another question. The technical aspects of this plan are solved, but how do we implement it?"

Zheng Han nodded, put on her cleaned glasses, and looked at Wei Hongsi.

This is an extremely important question.

The "Neural Bridge" system relies on carbon nanotube arrays in the skulls of the five victims to function. Since the heads of the five core members of the Light Guide Society lacked these arrays, the "Neural Bridge" system lost its operational basis.

Of course, what they don't have, they can make them have. Whether it's carbon nanotube materials or puncture devices, manufacturing these things is not a problem for Country C.

Moreover, after confirming that Evan Finch was a member of the Light Pathfinder Society, the authorities first shut down the condensed matter physics laboratory he was in charge of under other pretexts, and then conducted a thorough investigation of the laboratory, finding a lot of physical evidence, including carbon nanotube puncture equipment.

However, for the implanted carbon nanotube material to work, it is necessary to know the precise location of the neural code that makes up the "melting mechanism" in their brains and insert it precisely.

If we already know the location of those neural codes, we can directly process those neurons, so why bother with all this work?

This creates a circular cause-and-effect paradox, which is clearly unworkable.

Wei Hongsi said, "I also have an idea on how to implement it, and we should be able to verify it next week. If you two teachers are interested, you can come and provide guidance then."

Zheng Han smiled and said, "That's something I definitely have to learn."

Yu Xiufeng nodded: "Then we'll wait for Teacher Wei's notification."

When Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang heard Wei Hongsi say this, they were naturally eager to see it for themselves, but knowing that Xiao Si wouldn't forget them about such a good thing, they didn't need to say it outright.

After chatting for a while, the group prepared to go home.

Once outside, Wei Hongsi met Xia Shiyu, who was waiting there. Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang, seeing that Wei Hongsi had other matters to attend to, said goodbye and left.

"Brother Hongsi, thank you so much," Xia Shiyu said with a smile, her eyes looking a little red.

"Don't mention it." Wei Hongsi patted Xia Shiyu's arm. "How's your recovery, President Xia?"

"They're still observing him, but the EEG monitoring data has started to return to normal. The person in charge of the treatment said that in about an hour, they'll transfer my father to the headquarters' monitoring center for a day of continuous monitoring. If there are no problems, he can go home."

"Okay, that's good. You should spend more time with President Xia."

"Brother Hongsi, shall I introduce you to my mother?" Xia Shiyu asked.

Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "Okay."

Xia Shiyu led Wei Hongsi to the side, through the side door of the building, and into a small meeting room.

There were two people sitting inside. The older one was a woman in her early fifties, with a rather plump figure. Judging from her face, she was Xia Shiyu's mother.

The other person was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, with delicate and pretty features and a bit of baby fat on her cheeks. When Wei Hongsi came in, she was talking to her mother, arm in arm, as if she were coaxing her mother.

When Xia Shiyu brought Wei Hongsi in, the two of them stood up.

Xia Shiyu said, "Mom, this is the Hongsi brother I told you about."

Xia Shiyu's mother stepped forward and shook hands with Wei Hongsi, saying with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Wei, thank you for taking care of my Shiyu."

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "Auntie, you're too kind. Just call me by my name."

Xia Shiyu then introduced the girl to Wei Hongsi: "This is my younger sister, Xia Yining."

Wei Hongsi nodded and greeted him, "Hello."

Xia Yining said, "Hello, Brother Hongsi." She stared at Wei Hongsi for two seconds, then nodded slightly. "Hmm, you are indeed much more composed than my brother. No wonder you are a leader."

Wei Hongsi couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."

Xia Shiyu raised his arm, as if to hit him. Xia Yining glanced at him sideways, then ignored him.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xia Shiyu's mother for a while, Wei Hongsi bid them farewell.

Xia Shiyu saw Wei Hongsi out and said, "Brother Hongsi, my sister is a bit immature, please don't mind her."

Wei Hongsi said, "How could that be? I think your sister is quite interesting. The few things she said to me just now, I can roughly imagine what she said about you when she was eight or nine years old."
