Chapter 101 Thunder
Chapter 101 Thunder
After learning about the difficulties encountered by the expert technical team, the project leadership team was also at a loss.
They had never encountered a case like this before, leaving them feeling powerless to use their skills. It wasn't that their investigative techniques were ineffective; rather, they simply dared not use them.
At this moment, Director Shi remembered Wei Hongsi again and suggested to Zheng Han that they invite Teacher Wei over to discuss the matter together.
Actually, it's somewhat inappropriate to say you need to invite another expert in front of one. But the most important thing right now is solving the case; there's no need to worry about saving face. Director Shi asked Zheng Han if it was just a formality, and even if the other party disagreed, he would still invite them.
Fortunately, Zheng Han wasn't concerned about losing face. After their previous interactions and working together, he was quite impressed with Wei Hongsi. Although Wei was younger, he was undeniably more capable than him in certain areas.
Director Liang also agreed with Director Shi's suggestion. As far as he knew, Wei Hongsi had contributed to the task force's breakthroughs on several occasions, and he hoped that Wei could also perform a miraculous feat this time.
Needless to say, Yu Zhen, seeing that Director Liang and Director Shi had made the decision, asked Zhang Shengyong to contact Wei Hongsi to bring the people over.
But Zheng Han didn't dare to have too much hope.
Since the task force took over the dream interpretation work, the number and strength of the expert team have been strengthened through the reorganization by Director Liang. They have repeatedly discussed the technical approach and implementation path, and the final solution implemented is the optimal one.
Unless Wei Hongsi can come up with a technological solution that has a generational advantage and has the corresponding hardware resources to support it, it will be difficult to significantly reduce the workload that originally required three to four days to one day or even less.
This is not because their expert team underestimates Professor Wei. What they are doing now is not much different from what Wei Hongsi, Feng Weixu, and others did before.
If they had more advanced technology and equipment, would Professor Wei and his colleagues have kept it hidden? That's obviously impossible.
When Zheng Han gave his presentation, he naturally didn't mention these irrelevant details. After finishing, he asked, "Professor Wei, do you see any problems with our technical solution? Is there any room for optimization?"
Wei Hongsi frowned slightly and slowly shook his head: "I don't think there's anything wrong with the technical solution. There's not much room for optimization either, and it can't fundamentally improve efficiency."
The situation was indeed very tricky. The expert team had done all the work they could, and he really couldn't offer any advice on this matter.
If it were him and Feng Weixu, the outcome would be the same. They might save some time in minor details, but it wouldn't help the overall situation.
The bottleneck is Professor Finch's dream time intervals, and the number of times it can be verified each day has been capped.
The only thing that can really significantly shorten the time is probably luck.
Something that requires trial and error to determine the outcome is inherently a matter of probability, and probability can be reduced to a matter of luck.
What the expert group is doing is essentially gambling on the odds. Everyone knows that things decided by luck are unreliable, but they can't give up hope.
Wei Hongsi lowered his gaze, crossed his arms, and lightly flicked his right index finger on his arm.
Seeing that he was focused on thinking, the others did not disturb him.
Yu Zhen felt a bit annoyed, so he took out cigarettes and offered them to everyone, then lit one for himself.
Wei Hongsi smelled the smoke and couldn't help but reach out and fan his face.
The others hadn't even had a chance to light their cigarettes yet. Seeing this, Director Shi stopped smoking and said to Yu Zhen, "Open the window."
Yu Zhen stood up and said, "Never mind, I'll go outside to smoke."
As Wei Hongsi watched him open the door, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said, "Perhaps, we don't need to draw that 'round-faced student'."
His voice wasn't loud, but it immediately perked everyone up.
Director Liang said, "Professor Wei, please share your thoughts."
Yu Zhenyan stopped smoking, extinguished the flame with his fingers, closed the door, and sat down.
Wei Hongsi said, "Let's ignore the 'round-faced student' and just turn Mu Jie's dream narrative about the 'round-faced student' into a multimodal stimulation package."
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiufeng suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! This...this...how could we not have thought of that?"
Zheng Han looked at Wei Hongsi with a complicated expression. He suddenly realized that the biggest gap between himself and this young man was not technical ability, but problem-solving mindset.
In fact, they had already created a multimodal stimulus package based on Mu Jie's basic information, which confirmed that at least two Professors Finch knew him, but no dream narratives related to the Light Guide Society appeared.
They even tried to create a stimulating package based on the basic information of Li Yunxiang and Peng Jun, but no such content appeared in any of Professor Finch's dream narratives.
Because the three Professors Finch's dreams were spaced far apart, and the number of attempts was limited, they later shifted their focus to refining and verifying the physical characteristics of the "round-faced student."
Perhaps given more time, they too will come up with Wei Hongsi's method. But there's a significant difference between coming up with it quickly and coming up with it after some time has passed. In the case of theirs, it's even a fundamental difference.
Although Director Liang and his two colleagues were not technical personnel, they were so engrossed in the case that they were able to understand some of the basic principles involved.
After hearing Wei Hongsi's idea, they felt as if they had been enlightened. Looking at Yu Xiufeng and Zheng Han's reactions, they knew that Wei Hongsi had once again helped them break the deadlock.
Since entering the room, Wei Hongsi had mainly listened to others talking and hadn't said much. But when he did speak, it was like a thunderbolt striking directly at the heart of the matter.
Director Liang couldn't help but recall the last time Wei Hongsi visited, which had also greatly impressed them. This young man was indeed quite extraordinary.
Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng had a breakthrough idea, so they couldn't sit still in the command room.
"Teacher Wei, do you think there's anything we should pay attention to in our work going forward?" Yu Xiufeng stood up and asked.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Hong suggested, "We can exaggerate Mu Jie's condition a little, and make some psychological reactions more obvious on his face. This is not considered out of line in a dream."
"Is it a disdain for 'round-faced students'?" Yu Xiufeng said thoughtfully.
"Hmm." Wei Hongsi nodded. "I think from Mu Jie's perspective, 'ridiculous' is a keyword with a stronger emotional connotation than 'round face'."
"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Wei," Yu Xiufeng said.
Zheng Han thanked them, greeted Director Liang and the others, and then left with Yu Xiufeng. A waiting vehicle took them straight to the Yuecheng University Supercomputing Center.
