Chapter 151 Generation 2

The following morning, Zhiwei Technology released an announcement on its official website and internal corporate platform, declaring the official establishment of the "Joint Laboratory for Cognitive Science Engineering and Intelligent Applications" in collaboration with Yuecheng University.

The announcement introduced the leaders of both parties, the purpose of the cooperation, the main research directions, and the supporting industry-education integration joint talent training program.

At the same time, Yuecheng University's official website also published the same information.

The two parties did not hold any unveiling ceremony or press conference; they simply announced the partnership in a very low-key manner.

Not many people are paying attention to this. Apart from the established participants and a few Zhiwei employees who are interested in improving their education, most people feel that this matter has nothing to do with them.

Almost simultaneously with the release of this announcement, the first research project based on this collaborative framework was launched.

This research, led by the Police Research Institute and with the participation of Yuecheng University and Zhiwei Technology, aims to crack the "death command" and "circuit breaker mechanism" of the Light Guide Society. The project is abbreviated as "SR," derived from the first letters of the pinyin for "death" and "circuit breaker."

The parties involved in the collaboration did not publicize it at all, keeping it as low-key as if it never happened.

In reality, apart from a few core members, the other members of the project were unaware of the content and purpose of the research, and many were even unaware that they were involved in this work.

The main research subjects of this project are several victims who were implanted with carbon nanotube arrays, as well as five key members of the Light Guide Society who have been controlled. All work that requires direct contact with them is undertaken by the Third Research Institute.

Therefore, what was presented to the researchers at Yuecheng University and Zhiwei Technology was only various kinds of data and materials, and only core members could see the full content.

On the same day, Zhiwei Technology's CDU project team was renamed CDD project department, with Wei Hongsi serving as the head of the project department.

The main work of CDD, ostensibly, is to study representative psychological problems in contemporary society and propose corresponding solutions, but in reality, it is a study on the prevention and treatment of "psychological viruses".

Upon closer examination, the latter can be seen as a special case of the former, belonging to a subset of the former, so it cannot be considered a case of false advertising.

However, when Wei Hongsi assigned work, he would break down some of the tasks of the SR project and distribute them to different people or groups. On the surface, these tasks were not much different from those of CDD, so the people who took over the work could not tell that they were doing different projects.

In fact, according to the company's positioning of the CDD project department, its work already includes research on SR projects. The abbreviation CD was given by Gu Shiming, and it is an abbreviation for Cognitive Decontamination.

When handling various tasks, Wei Hongsi would always have Xia Shiyu by his side, except for matters involving cases that required confidentiality. When he was busy, he would have Xia Shiyu watch over him, and when he had free time, he would give him explanations and guidance.

Xia Shiyu has a good grasp of basic knowledge, but he severely lacks practical experience. He has a strong learning ability and is patient and willing to delve into things, which makes it easier for Wei Hongsi to guide him and allows them to exchange more information with him in the same amount of time.

The two were close in age and majored in similar fields, and both had recently graduated from school. There was no barrier between them when they communicated, just like the interaction between senior and junior students in school. As a result, they quickly became familiar with each other, and their conversations were no longer limited to work.

Xia Shiyu was also involved in the "June 13" case. As his father's legal guardian, he had the right to know about the details of Xia Yuansheng's case. After discovering that Xia Yuansheng was a victim in this case, the special investigation team briefed him on the relevant details to a limited extent.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Hongsi applied to Director Liang to allow Xia Shiyu to be deeply involved in the SR project, and the application was quickly approved.

Although Xia Shiyu couldn't contribute much to the research, he could help with other tasks. After revealing more about the project to him, he was able to truly fulfill his role as an assistant, allowing Wei Hongsi to dedicate more time and energy to the research.

After learning about the SR project, Xia Shiyu became even more proactive. Wei Hongsi told him that this research could help his father regain his independent mobility and, to some extent, return to a normal life.

By Thursday afternoon, with Shen Qing's strong support, Wei Hongsi had completed the simulation and replication of the "Emotion Reshaping Method" in the music dimension, and could begin practical verification.

He sent Zhang Shengyong a message informing him of the situation.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Shengyong called back and said that Ran Tong could come for treatment that evening, but not until nine o'clock.

Wei Hongsi didn't mind. He had a lot of work to do lately and was going to work overtime in the evenings anyway, but he didn't know if others could do it.

Especially Shen Qing; without her support, the verification work simply couldn't have been carried out.

So Wei Hongsi first confirmed with Shen Qing, then asked Li Xuan about her schedule, and then replied to Zhang Shengyong, thus finalizing the matter.

Following Lu Jiaqi's suggestion, Wei Hongsi has submitted an application to the Eighth Department, and Lu Jiaqi's working group has now become the designated liaison and support group for the CDD project department.

Around six o'clock, there was a knock on the office door. Wei Hongsi said, "Come in." Xia Shiyu pushed open the door, poked half her body in, and waved two fingers to her lips, making a gesture as if she were eating.

"Coming right away," Wei Hongsi said to him, saving the document he was writing, locking the monitor, grabbing his phone and employee ID, and getting up to walk outside.

On his second day at Zhiwei, Xia Shiyu applied for a single apartment from the company, becoming neighbors with Wei Hongsi in the same building. As a result, Wei Hongsi had a relatively regular commuting and dining partner, giving him a feeling of returning to the rhythm of school.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, they met Lu Jiaqi and Li Xuan. After getting their food, they sat down together.

Wei Hongsi introduced Xia Shiyu to them, and then Xia Shiyu could contact Li Xuan directly for further communication before work coordination.

After exchanging a few pleasantries upon their first meeting, Lu Jiaqi asked, "How long will the work last tonight?"

Wei Hongsi said, "It might take an hour, but I can't say for sure how long, since it's the first time."

Lu Jiaqi nodded: "That's alright."

Wei Hongsi asked, "Are you going to participate too?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "I've been involved in all of this so far, I should at least finish what I started, and at least keep Li Xuan company."

Wei Hongsi thought about it and agreed. Li Xuan was a young woman who finished work late, and Lu Jiaqi could give her a ride. He praised, "You're so thoughtful."

Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "You flatter me."
