Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 796 Truth Potion

"The shoemaker is dead. Who will take his place? We've obtained the coordinates of the quantum computer. How do we transmit the information?"

Zheng Haishan quickly asked, "The effect of the truth serum lasts for at its best for thirty minutes."

With limited time and a heavy workload, we must guide the questions that people want to ask to come out within this timeframe.

Zhang Haiyan fell silent again, which angered Zheng Haishan so much that he pointed at the medical staff and whispered, "Does it even work or not?!"

"Clinically speaking, the success rate is 70%," the medical staff member said, shrugging to indicate that he was also innocent.

"Find Qingfeng, 457, 326."

Zheng Haishan quickly wrote down the numbers.

He quickly asked, "Is this a phone number?"

"Telegram, send to 457, 326." After saying this, he lowered his head, his voice sounding like he was snoring, and fell into a deep sleep.

I then poked my face and other parts of my body with my fingers, but there was no reaction.

Zheng Haishan waved his hand, signaling someone to take Zhang Haiyan away. Meanwhile, he was pondering the string of numbers.

Telegram, to the council?

They called in communications expert Zhang Bo to help them study the matter.

“We’ll send this set of numbers out in plain text,” Zhang Bo said after seeing the numbers.

"Didn't that mean the whole country and even overseas received these numbers?" other team members retorted.

"That's exactly the effect we wanted! That way, they'll send someone to coordinate after receiving the telegram!"

The group member then countered, "What if, what if, these numbers are translated, they say I've been arrested and shouldn't come over? What then?"

Zheng Haishan nodded and said, "That makes a lot of sense. So we need to try to crack these six numbers and see what they represent so that we can send the telegram in plain text."

Zheng Haishan then called his superiors to request support from the codebreaking team.

Once the code-breaking experts arrive, they will be brought to the rice field, where they might be able to use the advanced computers to decipher the code.

However, a small team went to Zhang Haiyan's house again to conduct a detailed search, hoping to find a codebook or something similar to save time for the codebreaking experts.

Six seemingly simple numbers are extremely difficult to decipher. If there's a pattern, it's relatively easy to figure out. The real problem is the existence of a separate codebook, such as using "Dream of the Red Chamber" as a codebook, where the numbers represent page numbers, line numbers, and word numbers.

But what if the other party uses *Jin Ping Mei*? Even just any book like *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* would be difficult to deal with.

Zhang Haiyan's house had nothing at all; not to mention books, she didn't even have a single one, and she only had half a roll of toilet paper.

Even the code-breaking experts could only proceed using conventional methods. With the help of computer processing, many words were quickly formed, but none of them were what Zheng Haishan and his team wanted, and some of these words were even irrelevant to the case.

Could it be a phone number?

Zheng Haishan immediately said, "Call the telecommunications bureau and check."

Sure enough, the telecommunications bureau actually matched this phone number.

The location was found to be a coin-operated public telephone in People's Park.

Zheng Haishan led his team to People's Park, found the coin-operated public telephone, and first observed the surrounding environment.

"Team Leader Zheng, see that public phone ten meters away? It's a phone stand that's out of service!"
