Memory inheritor

Chapter 242 Preparation

Wei Hongsi and Liu Lu returned to their office on the 16th floor and got back to their respective tasks.

Feng Weixu had already sent over the design proposal, which he had named "GH0.2+". Wei Hongsi downloaded the document, opened it, and read it carefully.

This solution is a targeted improvement on GH0.2 and has been optimized based on the verification experimental data completed at the Third Research Institute. It is already quite complete.

After reading it, Wei Hongsi made a phone call to discuss the follow-up work and arrangements.

The construction approach for this system is basically the same as before, but some additional content needs to be added.

One crucial aspect is that, since the participants in the tests are all children in junior high and elementary school age groups, not professional technicians, it is necessary to design scenarios that are easy for them to describe and express in order to more accurately understand their subjective feelings, which is something that data monitoring cannot replace.

Feng Weixu had also considered this point, and after hearing Wei Hongsi's suggestion, he offered his solution: "I plan to make a small game that covers all the data that needs to be collected and the scenarios in which it is presented."

Wei Hongsi said, "Your idea is good. But even a small game takes a lot of time to develop, right? We don't have enough time. Let's keep it simple!"

Feng Weixu laughed and said, "It's not as difficult as you think. If I didn't have some basic knowledge and experience, I wouldn't have brought this up with you."

Wei Hongsi asked with some surprise, "Oh, how long do you estimate it will take?"

That should be about it.

In fact, Feng Weixu had this idea when he was working on GH0.2, but at that time there was a severe shortage of manpower, and since this was a research and development project led by the police, the testing environment and application direction were definitely quite serious, so he was embarrassed to bring it up.

This time, Wei Hongsi invited children as volunteers, making a simple game a perfect way to test and verify the idea; no one would think it was a far-fetched concept. Moreover, Wei Hongsi also solved the manpower problem for him, ensuring the project's progress.

If Feng Weixu didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep well for a long time to come.

Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, it's not a big problem, but I have a very urgent task to complete."

Feng Weixu couldn't help but complain, "Why do you have so many urgent tasks? What's it this time?"

Wei Hongsi said, "I need to add another port to the GH0.2 system."

Feng Weixu's voice suddenly rose: "Are you kidding me! This can't be completed in a short time!"

The shift from point-to-point two-way consciousness interaction to three-way consciousness interaction is not as simple as 2+1. The complexity of the problem represents a qualitative leap, and it cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Wei Hongsi chuckled, "Don't be in such a hurry. I meant adding a port for switching between two ports; it's essentially still a point-to-point interaction. Following your naming convention, how about calling it GH0.2 Pro?"

Feng Weixu's voice softened: "Oh, that's not too complicated. When do you plan to finish it?"

Wei Hongsi said, "How about half a day today?"

Feng Weixu considered it for a moment and said, "Alright, then give me some more manpower."

Wei Hongsi said, "No problem. By the way, is Dai Mengqi done with her work?"

Feng Weixu said, "It should be almost done. I heard her say at noon that Shen Qing's data collection is complete, and only the final compilation work remains."

Wei Hongsi said, "I have a researcher here who also needs to create neurosemantic packages."

Feng Weixu said, "Then I'll tell her later."

After finishing his phone call with Feng Weixu, Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment, going over all the things he needed to do in his mind and memorizing some key points.

After a while, Liu Lu came over: "President Wei, the task force has sent word that the issue of the youth volunteers has been resolved, and they're asking us which day we plan to hold the meeting. Here are the details."

As she spoke, she placed the PAD in her hand in front of Wei Hongsi.

Summer vacation is here, and summer camps of all kinds are springing up everywhere. Among them is an officially sponsored science and technology-themed summer camp, which has both elementary and junior high school students as members. They are all "smart kids" from various grades selected by key schools in the city.

The number of participants in this summer camp is slightly more than the demand proposed by Wei Hongsi, but this is not a problem. We just need to arrange two more sets of equipment, and the more data samples, the better.

Wei Hongsi considered for a moment and said, "Let's schedule it for this Friday. We'll arrange for volunteers to participate in the test in batches, each batch will take about half an hour. You and Sister Lu can talk to each other and plan some experiential activities so that the young volunteers don't just wait around."

"Okay." Liu Lu stepped forward and swiped on the PAD. "This is Guo Da's investigation results."

The above shows that the three teenagers suspected of having received memory implantation have been marked as "highly suspected," indicating that Guo Weiran has obtained more credible evidence, and perhaps only needs to confirm it through technical means.

The three teenagers were last suspected of receiving memory implantation in April of this year, with some receiving it earlier and others later. The time before that was last October, with about six months between the two memory implantations.

This should be considered good news. If this trend continues, the three teenage victims should be safe for at least a month.

After seeing that Wei Hongsi had finished reading, Liu Lu said, "The two children we discovered last night through our interaction with Zhou Huai have had their identities confirmed, and Guo Da is currently investigating them."

"In addition, the Third Research Institute has scheduled comprehensive testing for the two survivors who failed in the memory implantation."

The one from Yuecheng can do it tonight, while the one from Xicheng is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

"Also, the leadership has agreed to let Shen Qing participate in more work related to the case. You can decide what information to give her."

Wei Hongsi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The task force is very efficient. All the requests he made yesterday have been implemented and responded to. Now it's up to him to produce results.

Liu Lu picked up the tablet on the table and asked, "Mr. Wei, when you were on the phone just now, you mentioned a researcher who wants to create neurosemantic packages. Were you referring to me?"

"Yes," Wei Hongsi nodded with a smile, "You haven't contacted them yet, have you?"

Liu Lu asked, "Do I need to go to Yuecheng University?"

Wei Hongsi said, "No need, data collection can be done at the company. When it's time for work, I'll go to the 11th floor to take care of the equipment, and you can start data collection simultaneously."

Shen Qing collected data in her apartment while creating the neurosemantic package. After she joined the related research, Wei Hongsi arranged for a set of equipment to be delivered to her residence, taking into account that it was inconvenient for her to go out frequently.

Liu Lu works in data collection at the company. With the assistance of professional technicians, and the fact that the company has established a dedicated channel with Yuecheng University, the efficiency is much higher. If all goes well, it can be completed in half a day.

Liu Lu was relieved to hear this. It must be said that Wei Hongsi had considered everything very thoroughly.

Just as she was about to turn back, Wei Hongsi asked, "How well do you know Zhou Huai and Shen Qing?"

Liu Lu said, "My understanding of them mainly comes from the information I've collected and organized."

Wei Hongsi said, "After I finish my work this afternoon, I'd like to meet with Shen Qing so you can talk to her. I'll introduce you as a member of the task force then, is that alright?"

Liu Lu said, "No problem."

For Liu Lu to portray Shen Qing well, it largely depends on how cooperative Shen Qing is in their interactions. A reasonable official identity helps to quickly gain the other party's trust.

Seeing that Wei Hongsi had nothing more to say, Liu Lu returned to her seat and intensified her deciphering of "The Story of Time".

The work on encrypting text information is currently about two-thirds complete.

During her two days at Zhiwei, Liu Lu was very impressed by Wei Hongsi's work pace and intensity. He was like a wound-up toy, with almost no free time from morning to night.

She's now caught up in this rhythm, and new tasks could come at any moment, so she has to catch up on what she's doing. This is completely different from the nine-to-five experience she originally imagined, but it's very fulfilling.

Wei Hongsi arranged the work tasks and distributed them as soon as the work started. He also gave instructions to the temporary leaders of each group.

During this time, Liu Lu transcribed the instructions Wei Hongsi had given her regarding planning the youth volunteer experience activity and sent them to Lu Jiaqi. Lu Jiaqi was still attending a meeting on the 10th floor and certainly wouldn't see the message. Liu Lu then went to Li Xuan to relay the information.

The two then went to the laboratory on the 11th floor.

Wei Hongsi first contacted Dai Mengqi, then arranged for a technician to assist Liu Lu, and then worked with the engineers in the laboratory to solve the equipment problem.

Nine new devices need to be integrated. One set will be added as a new port for "GH0.2 Pro" and will be sent to the Third Research Institute after completion. It has the highest priority. The other eight sets are the youth version of "GH0.2+" system, which need to be debugged before Friday.

Although there are many items, there are actually only two models. With the previous experience, the engineers were very familiar with the process, and efficiency was well guaranteed.

Wei Hongsi stayed in the lab until 5 p.m., working with engineers to complete the integration of the new port equipment for "GH0.2 Pro" and coordinating the equipment delivery with the Third Research Institute.

At this time, Liu Lu's data collection was also completed, and the two returned to the office on the 16th floor together.

Wei Hongsi sat down and called Feng Weixu, telling him that the new port equipment had been completed and asking him to contact the Third Research Institute to coordinate the system upgrade and debugging testing.

Feng Weixu agreed and then explained his work progress, planning to go to Zhiwei tomorrow night to test the new system.

While Wei Hongsi was on the phone with Feng Weixu, he heard a knock at the door. He turned around and saw Liu Lu open the door. Lu Jiaqi was outside, so he waved to her and invited her to come in.

Lu Jiaqi nodded, walked into the office, and sat down opposite Wei Hongsi.

Wei Hongsi spoke a few more words with Feng Weixu, then ended the call, put down his phone, and said, "Sister Lu, is the meeting over?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "It ended around 4 PM. The leadership adopted our suggestion, and we will be responsible for building and maintaining the video content analysis data management platform, which will be supervised by the higher-level unit."

Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "That's great."

Seeing that Wei Hongsi didn't seem surprised, Lu Jiaqi smiled and asked, "Mr. Wei, did you make this suggestion to the leadership?"

Wei Hongsi said, "I did mention it briefly, but it was just to facilitate the work."

Previously, when Gu Shiming led a team to Beijing to report to the leaders, he proposed that other units share relevant analytical data with Zhiwei, and the leaders responded.

However, there are many ways to share data. Originally, the government preferred that a state-owned institution build a data sharing and supervision platform, which would be given priority access to Zhiwei. This is acceptable, but it is certainly not as convenient as a platform that is built and maintained in-house.

Most of the attendees knew that Director Han had met with Wei Hongsi privately, and that Director Liang had also called Wei Hongsi in for a chat during the lunch break. So, when Director Liang strongly advocated adopting Zhiwei's suggestion at the afternoon meeting, everyone was somewhat surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

This isn't a bidding project, so there's no shady dealing involved. How much could a data platform possibly cost? Furthermore, it involves national security strategy, so official oversight and cost accounting are extremely strict; no one would dare to try anything dishonest.

Lu Jiaqi summarized the key points of the afternoon meeting and concluded by asking, "President Dai has arranged a reception for tonight. Would you like to attend?"

Wei Hongsi said, "I won't go. You can represent our project team."

Lu Jiaqi hesitated and said, "If you're not going, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?"

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "What's inappropriate about it? You're in charge of external liaison, so let me talk to President Gu about it."

As he spoke, he opened WD and sent a message to Gu Shiming, saying that he had other work arrangements for the evening and asked Lu Jiaqi to represent the CDD project team.

This arrangement wasn't unexpected. Lu Jiaqi had accompanied Gu Shiming when he led a team to Beijing to report to the leadership.

Wei Hongsi knew that what made Lu Jiaqi hesitant was the high caliber of the guests. The companies and organizations attending the exchange event were all senior managers, and therefore, the representatives from Zhiwei were also all senior executives.

However, when it comes to status, the most important thing is whether others recognize it. As long as Zhiwei's leadership approves, no guest will disagree. Moreover, there are several women among the guests, while Zhiwei's senior management is all male, so Lu Jiaqi's participation in the event is a plus. With her interpersonal skills, she will definitely play a good role in balancing things out.

Gu Shiming replied quickly. Wei Hongsi glanced at it and said to Lu Jiaqi, "President Gu wants you to go there as soon as possible."

Lu Jiaqi nodded with a smile: "Okay."

She placed a printed document on the table: "This is the proposal for the summer camp's science experience activities. Please take a look."

Wei Hongsi glanced at it and nodded, saying, "I have no objections, let's prepare it this way."
