The verification work at the Third Research Institute started at 1 p.m. and continued until 6 p.m. Wei Hongsi therefore devoted most of his afternoon to this task.
After the first round of verification, the Third Research Institute shared the relevant data and records with the other two parties. The expert team immediately analyzed and summarized the data, made optimizations and adjustments based on this, and then conducted a second round of verification. In this way, a total of five rounds of verification were carried out, finally yielding a credible interim result.
Experts call this achievement "neurobridge protection," which can monitor neural coding signals in the brain and effectively block the lethal mechanism of "death command."
With this insurance, the project team dared to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis of the five victims, no longer worried about the tragedy of "accidental sudden death".
After completing this task, Wei Hongsi received a notification from the "system".
[Event: Completed the construction of the "Neural Bridge", earning 50 contribution points]
Current contribution points: 266
Previously, I upgraded the "Cognitive Reconstruction" talent to Level 1I, which used up 1000 contribution points, leaving me with 170 points.
In the past week, 23 patients with mild "mental pollution" symptoms have been cured, earning 46 contribution points.
The "system" treats all patients equally, regardless of whether they are mild or severe, or whether they are easy or difficult to treat, and settles the bill at 2 contribution points per person.
It's a pity that those people who were sent to the park for treatment earlier weren't included, otherwise we could have gotten dozens more contribution points.
The 50 contribution points he had just earned gave Wei Hongsi a pleasant surprise.
This illustrates that for a complex task, one can earn contribution points after achieving phased results, rather than waiting until the entire task is completed before receiving payment.
Although 50 contribution points may not seem like much compared to the rewards obtained from completing "system" tasks before, it represents the hard work of the entire project team, and Wei Hongsi is just one of the main contributors, so it is quite reasonable.
At this rate of growth, it doesn't seem like it will be long before I accumulate enough contribution points to redeem a skill.
Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment, tidied up the table, and prepared to have dinner.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Wei Hongsi turned around and saw Xia Shiyu's feet wearing black and white sneakers through the glass at the bottom of the door. He went over and opened the door, saying, "Let's go eat."
Xia Shiyu raised his right hand, his thumb and forefinger holding a car key: "General Manager Wu came by a dozen minutes ago. He saw you were busy and asked me to give this to you, saying that we should be driving to and from get off work these days."
Wei Hongsi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you can take it for now."
Their dormitory was only a little over 1 kilometer from the company, and cycling was more convenient than driving. But Wu Wenjun's arrangement was not without reason.
Although Wei Hongsi felt that the matter was over, refusing would put Wu Wenjun in a difficult position, so he decided to run it for a few days.
Just as Wei Hongsi left the office, his phone rang again. He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Shengyong's number, so he went back to the office to answer it.
"Hongsi, Mengcai wants to change the treatment time to 9:00 AM on Sunday. What do you think?" Zhang Shengyong's words carried a hint of helplessness.
Wei Hongsi was speechless for a moment and said, "I'm fine, but there are others. Let me ask them."
They had originally planned to treat Meng Cai at 8 PM tonight, but they changed it to Sunday morning. This not only broke everyone's plans but also took up their rest time, which had a significant impact.
Wei Hongsi first communicated with Shen Qing, the foreign aid, and then called Lu Jiaqi. Everyone said there was no problem, so he called Zhang Shengyong back.
Relieved upon receiving the news, Zhang Shengyong turned around and told Meng Cai in the sternest tone that there could be no further changes.
He had seen Meng Cai's work schedule, and it was indeed quite full these past two days, but he found it hard to believe that not a single thing could be changed. However, Meng Cai wasn't a criminal suspect, and she kept pleading with him in a soft and gentle manner, leaving him with no room to get angry.
After returning Zhang Shengyong's call, Wei Hongsi said to Xia Shiyu, "Weren't you going home? Now that you don't have to work overtime, why don't you go home earlier? You don't need to come over on Sunday either, just rest at home."
Xia Shiyu gave up pursuing graduate studies in Beijing mainly because of his father's illness. Since his work on Sundays wasn't essential, he was allowed to stay home and spend more time with his father.
Xia Shiyu said, "Then I'll go back after I finish eating."
Wei Hongsi thought it made sense. Xia would have missed dinner time by now since she was going home anyway. Since they were going to eat anyway, he might as well invite Lu Jiaqi and Li Xuan to eat out together.
On Sunday morning, Meng Cai arrived on time and was very cooperative, seemingly feeling guilty about the previous rescheduling and thus wanting to make amends.
The treatment process for her was basically the same as that for Ran Tong, and the results were also quite ideal. The biggest difference was Meng Cai herself.
After the treatment, Meng Cai sat on the treatment chair for a while, then suddenly burst into tears, holding her head in her hands, and gradually became unable to stop crying.
Seeing that she was showing signs of an emotional breakdown, Wei Hongsi spoke with Shen Qing briefly and played some music for Meng Cai to soothe her, which worked quite well.
After Meng Cai calmed down, Wei Hongsi performed another EEG monitoring on her.
Then, to everyone's surprise, it was discovered that although Meng Cai experienced severe emotional fluctuations after treatment, once her emotions calmed down, her various data indicators were far better than Zai Tong's before. It seemed that the crying session greatly shortened her cognitive reconstruction process.

This is a very interesting phenomenon that can provide a useful supplement to the research on "emotional reshaping methods".
The treatment session ended before 11 a.m., and everyone had their own plans, so we didn't have a meal together.
Wei Hongsi returned to his office and continued to follow up on the SR project. This project was closely related to solving the case, and he didn't get a break on weekends.
With the "neural bridge" insurance in place, the first task is to create a unique "neural translation package" for each victim, which will serve as a translator to interpret the neural code of the "death command".
This task was undertaken by Yuecheng University. Based on Jiang Haiyang's "neural dictionary" algorithm model and combined with their relevant experience in dream interpretation, it wasn't too difficult for them, but it would take time.
Wei Hongsi chatted online with Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang for a while, and then planned to visit the school in the afternoon.
A new message notification popped up on my computer; it was from Shen Qing: "Are you going to continue working this afternoon?"
Wei Hongsi casually replied, "Yes."
Shen Qing sent another message: "When do you plan to start the project you mentioned last time, which involves turning musical elements into neural signals?"
Wei Hong thought for a moment and replied, "If you have time, this afternoon is fine."
