Memory inheritor

Chapter 41 Awakening

After dinner, Wei Hongsi returned to the 16th floor of the main building and walked towards his workstation. When he got close, he remembered that he had moved, so he turned back to the temporary office he had just been assigned.

This is certainly not forgetfulness; it's simply that after a meal, the body prioritizes blood flow to the stomach, resulting in less nutrient supply to the brain, which in turn allows habit to dictate behavior.

He has always been very confident in his memory. Despite suffering from schizophrenia in recent years, he has never found that it has had a negative impact on his memory.

On this point, academic performance from childhood to adulthood is the strongest evidence. People with good memories may not necessarily have good grades; but people with exceptionally good grades, such as those who consistently rank first in their grade, certainly have good memories.

I sat down in my office chair and took out "The Story of Time," a book I'd received from an older, more energetic man. After reading a dozen or so pages, I felt my mind clearer and switched back to work.

In the IR1 project team, Gu Shiming released an updated work plan, which included the task requirements for each sub-item and the time nodes for each stage.

Wei Hongsi's core task is to build an algorithm for detecting "subconscious trigger points." He's destined to work overtime this weekend, but after estimating the time requirements, he found that he doesn't need to sacrifice all his rest time.

So I made a schedule for the next two days: arrive at the company at 10 a.m. and work until 3 p.m. This way, I won't miss my leisurely mornings or my plans to swim and read in the afternoon.

It wasn't that he wanted to slack off. The standard system they were building involved a lot of groundbreaking work, and the results of some intermediate steps were unpredictable; only upon completion could a definitive conclusion be reached.

This conclusion will affect subsequent work, so when multiple people work together, it is certainly not good to finish slowly, but it is also meaningless to finish ahead of schedule.

Around 8:40 PM, Lu Jiaqi sent the newly released remake of GG video file via WD.

As usual, Wei Hongsi first preprocessed the original video, organized it into data packets, and then handed it over to CMS for forward and reverse simulation analysis. The results were as expected.

This re-enacted GG achieved a 60% focus retention rate, which is slightly below the "very good" standard, but is significantly better than the other three backup GGs in the park.

Another set of analytical data shows that although this GG contains subconscious trigger points, their distribution density is very low. Although the restoration plan B is not yet complete, we can use Peng Jun's other three GG data as a reference, which are only about a quarter of the original footage.

This is precisely why the remake of Gogo had a 5 percentage point lower focus retention rate than the original (refer to the other three Gogo data points of 65%).

The original film features a type of subconscious trigger point with hypnotic effects, which serves to "attract attention." However, the remake can only replicate a small portion of this, resulting in a significantly less effective remake.

This explains why Peng Jun insisted on filming according to this model. Because once the subconscious hypnotic effect is removed, these guys, while still considered good, are not outstanding and cannot guarantee winning in the competition.

At noon at the police station, Wei Hongsi made a conclusion: Peng Jun's ability to create GG (Ghostly Deception) came from external indoctrination designed by AI.

This remake of the GG film can be seen as providing evidence for his assertion.

Old Huang meticulously recreated Plan B, demonstrating considerable effort and drawing upon his previous filming experience, yet he could only replicate a quarter of the subconscious trigger points. Peng Jun, on the other hand, without any reference points, was able to precisely control every detail, a feat that, to some extent, surpassed human capabilities.

Of course, there are differences in ability between people, and the gap between some geniuses and ordinary people is even greater than that between humans and animals. Moreover, the filming and production of Peng Jun took nearly ten days, which was much more time-efficient.

No matter how strong Peng Jun's creative ability is, it still has to be presented by Lao Huang's camera in the end. Lao Huang is the more professional in the field of videography.

However, this is merely a deduction based on common sense and is not logically rigorous. But by comparing it thoroughly with the original footage of the reconstructed Plan B, and combining it with materials such as behavioral analysis and autopsy reports, it can be used as indirect evidence.

Furthermore, this remake of GG is also very useful for constructing algorithms to detect subconscious trigger points. If necessary, we could even ask Lao Huang to remake three more of Peng Jun's GGs later.

Wei Hongsi filled out the simulation analysis report and sent it along with the two sets of analysis data to Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng quickly replied that he had no objections, and Wei Hongsi then sent the report to Lu Jiaqi.

The park had high expectations for the new product. If they had seen the promotional material for the new product three days ago and it looked like this, they probably wouldn't have been satisfied and would have had to find ways to make some adjustments.

But after the twists and turns of the past two days, both Ji Cheng and that General Manager Pang have been under considerable pressure, so their expectations have naturally been lowered, and things that were difficult to accept before have become easier to accept.

In fact, based solely on this simulation analysis data of the remake of GG, it's perfectly adequate for emergency use. Removing the illegal buffs of Option B was exactly how it should have performed.

Moreover, the remake of GG and Plan B are extremely similar in appearance; without data analysis, it's difficult to tell the difference by sight alone. This perfectly meets Ji Cheng and General Manager Pang's requirements, allowing them to cover everything up. Once the promotional activities for the new product launch are handled, they can adjust the rest according to their own wishes.

Sure enough, after the report was sent out, Lu Jiaqi only replied "received" and then gave no further feedback.

……

……

After receiving Feng Xiaoxu's phone call, Wei Hongbo was considering how to handle the matter when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhang Shengyong strode in, his face grave. "Team Leader Wei," he said, "one of our targets has been missing since last night. Based on the information we have so far, this person is a prime suspect!"

He placed a page of material on the table, saying, "This is the information we found."

Wei Hongbo nodded and picked up the materials to examine them closely.

The suspect, named Mu Jie, is 32 years old and has ten years of overseas study and work experience. He returned to China about three years ago and soon settled in Yuecheng. His main businesses in the city include an apartment, a restaurant-style bar, and a stationery company.

The note following "Cultural Supplies Company" states "Main business: Sales of imported musical instruments".

Upon seeing this, Wei Hongbo's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Does his stationery company have physical stores?"

"Yes, he owns a music store on Sha Street."

"A music store? What kinds of musical instruments do you sell?"

"It's something like piano, guitar, violin, etc. I haven't looked into anything too detailed."

Before Zhang Shengyong could finish speaking, he saw Wei Hongbo staring intently at him.
