Indescribable cyberpunk

trial.

This is a noun, but many times it can also be used as a verb, because this behavior often means various threatening actions.

But here at Suzi, Zhu Jue experienced a brand new interrogation method.

In the slightly dim basement, several people on the recliners placed in the middle space were still asleep. The equipment around them was not high-end. They were half-hidden in a dark place where the light could not reach. They were pressed against the wall and occasionally emitted sounds. There was a ticking sound, and traces of secondary connections and repairs could even be seen on some of the lines.

Not to mention the people on the recliner. There is an instrument that looks like a searchlight hanging above the head of the woman in the middle. Dozens of lines of different colors hang from it, connected to the helmet on her brain, and the helmet Several lines are extended to connect several people around.

This makes them look like they are caught in a spider web, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance.

Fortunately, this was an underground interrogation room for allies, otherwise Zhu Jue might have regarded it as some kind of horrific scene.

The two of them found a chair to sit opposite each other behind the workbench next to them. The former even went to make a cup of coffee for Zhu Jue.

"Do you still remember the memory chip we found in Shenzhen and Hong Kong before? It was just one of the few products developed by the Memory Group over the years that can be sold to the market. This group's research results are not limited to this. We What they are using now is the dream inquiry technology they developed five years ago. This is a special technology used exclusively by monopoly consortiums and certain organizations for internal interrogations. In order to obtain such technology at that time, Yi Meng paid a lot of money for it. It cost a lot."

While the dream inquiry over there was still going on and it would take more than ten minutes to end, Suzi didn't mind chatting with Zhu Jue about this matter.

"Do all your technologies have to be prefixed with 'get', instead of words like research and development and creation?"

Suzi's mention of "obtaining technology" reminded Zhu Jue subconsciously of what happened at Luohua Pharmaceutical five years ago, and he asked with a teasing tone and a strange expression.

"There is nothing we can do about it. In the past, the number of scientific researchers within the Yimeng organization was too small, and there was lack of sufficient funds to conduct research. Therefore, we could only use some special methods to obtain some of the more critical technologies."

Suzi didn't think anything of Zhu Jue's teasing.

"Okay, by the way, what is the dream inquiry technology?"

"To give a simple example, don't think about the elephant now. What appeared in your mind when I finished speaking?"

After Zhu Jue took a sip of coffee, Su Zi asked.

"Er elephant."

Zhu Jue shrugged. The moment Suzi finished speaking, thoughts about elephants did appear in his mind.

"But what does that mean?"

"You just said you saw an elephant, so similarly, can you say that what you saw was actually a tiger, or that you didn't think anything at all?"

"sure."

If your mouth is on your body, what you say will naturally not be affected.

"That's the problem. Most animals can lie, and humans are born liars. What they think in their hearts may be completely different from what they say on their lips. And the people we caught are members of the 'Zero' organization Internal members, these people have undoubtedly received brainwashing within the organization. Not only in terms of belief, but also including some drug-assisted will destruction is not uncommon. If you want to ask for valuable information from their mouths, rely on torture. The chance of success is extremely low.”

After all, cultists have to cut themselves twice in order to perform a ritual. The phenomenon of weakened pain perception is extremely common among these people. The punishment that can make ordinary people suffer to death is likely to be as big as a small knife cut for these people.

Not to mention that after the torture, there was no way to guarantee the truth of what she said.

"However, the human subconscious cannot lie. People may be able to deceive others, but as long as they are conscious, they cannot convince themselves to completely believe a lie. This is the original intention of the Memory Group to develop dream consultation technology. That deceptive mouth confronts the subconscious mind that cannot lie.”

"The question is how do you know what a person's subconscious is thinking?"

"Brain in a vat, do you know this theory?"

Motoko's eyes were locked on the machine data instrument on the left side of the workbench, and she said without looking back,

"This is a hypothesis articulated by Hilary Putnam in 1981 in her book Reason, Truth, and History: A person (presumably yourself) is driven by evil. The scientists performed an operation, and his brain was cut off from the body and placed in a tank containing a nutrient solution to keep the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain were connected to a computer, and the computer transmitted information to the brain according to the program. Allowing him to maintain the illusion that everything is completely normal. For him, it seems that people, objects, and the sky still exist, and his own movements and body sensations can be input. This brain can also be input or intercept memories (intercept the memory of brain surgery) , and then input various environments and daily life he may experience). He can even be input into the code and 'feel' that he is reading an interesting and absurd text here."

"Can you be more straightforward?"

Can we still have a good chat?

"Okay, what I said before is just a theory that has been verified today. Since the human brain can be linked and deceived by computers, then the human subconscious can naturally also do it. We only need a special medicine and a specialized machine. It may be a bit loose to say that we can enter her dream, but you can understand it as we obtain the information we want by directly confronting her subconscious."

Suzi knew that Zhu Jue was not very familiar with these scientific concepts, so he tried his best to translate their actions in vernacular.

Crunch~

While the two were talking, the sound of chairs from the other side attracted their attention.

Several people under interrogation have woken up.

Not in a hurry to do anything, Zhu Jue turned around and saw that they were all taking some medicine from the blue bag on the side of the chair.

"The error is 0.3 seconds. It seems that the interrogation went smoothly. How far have you achieved your breakthrough?"

Suzi looked at the timer, stood up and said to those people who had taken the medicine and started wearing mental protection devices.

"The scene of the Yecheng disaster has been successfully achieved. There are a lot of mental pollution monster projections in this memory. Pay attention to mental protection when watching. In some memories, there is a vague image of the leader of the 'Zero' organization. It is worth noting that we Let’s go and rest first, and we’ll do the third stage of dream consultation tonight.”

The man on the chair next to Suzi glanced at Zhu Jue and nodded as a greeting. Obviously he should know Zhu Jue's identity, but his words were a little choppy. After explaining the situation, he got up and left the room with a few other people. .

From the swaying of their bodies and staggering steps when walking, it can be seen that these people are in extremely poor mental state.

"What's wrong with them? They look very tired."

Zhu Jue looked at Su Zi with some surprise, who was holding an injection and walking towards the woman who was still in a coma.

"Dream interrogation can bring high-value information, but it also comes with risks. This kind of confrontation at the conscious level can easily cause problems. Just like we don't like others to impose ideas on us, the same is true for the subconscious mind. If the person being interrogated notices When their own will is invaded, they will also resist, but they are in another situation, that is, there are spiritual pollution source monsters in the memory of the person being interrogated, which are extremely harmful to human consciousness. This is why we must advance in advance. Reasons to prepare sedatives and mental protection devices.”

Injecting the powerful sedative in his hand into the woman's body to keep her in a comatose state, Motoko kept turning to an instrument next to her. After a while of operation, she took out a data disk from it.

"This is still the memory group's technology, memory conversion. After we obtain her memory, we can use this method to convert it into an image that can be viewed through our people."

"The scene of the catastrophe in Yecheng?"

Zhu Jue heard their conversation just now and was naturally very concerned about the contents of this data disk, but he soon realized another problem.

"I don't have a computer, can I read it?"

"Do you need my help? Yimeng has complete facilities in prosthetic body transformation. It only takes about an hour for me to install a brain computer in your brain. Of course, if you want, you can simply install the electronic brain into your brain." There’s no problem with installing it in the ear or eyeball. It’s just a replacement of the prosthetic body. I can operate it by myself. Do you want to try it?”

Suzi talked lightly about the transformation plan that sounded a bit strange to Zhu Jue. In fact, she had always been confused about why Zhu Jue's body could become so powerful without any transformation. After thinking about it, she continued,

"As far as I know, you don't seem to be a biochemical warrior. Don't you want to enhance your combat effectiveness? You only need to load an electronic brain. Many equipment can bring you great enhancement."

In this era, prosthetic transformation is not really a high-tech, and electronic brain is the foundation of the foundation. The development of many combat equipment is actually based on the premise that humans have the assistance of electronic brains, otherwise the equipment will contain a large amount of data. It is simply not something that the human brain can analyze and utilize.

"You know why. You experienced it five years ago in Rongxia City. My brain and body must be pure. Those technological equipment that require electronic brain activation have never been able to meet me. You know, I still have to use them to play games. Portable VR equipment or gaming headsets.”

It's not that Zhu Jue hasn't thought about using those high-end equipment. In fact, after he got the gentleman's share of the property, he asked Lisanna if he could get equipment that he could use, and the latter's reply was yes, but it could come in handy. not much.

The reason is very simple. Most firearms and weapons are not as good as the plasma gun that Zhu Jue has not used for a long time, and some individual armors require electronic brain assistance or body modification. The gentleman has prepared some for himself that are suitable for "amateurs" He used equipment, but it was equipment made according to his body data, so Zhu Jue naturally did not apply to it.

"I don't have the equipment here that allows people to view the memory files without a computer, so you may have to wait for me for a while."

Suzi was not surprised by Zhu Jue's reply. He nodded and sat back on the chair to read the contents of the memory chip.
