"What is that? Is it an implant?"
"Yes, we call it a 'memory read-only device.'" Qin Xin stared at the man in the operating room and introduced him without turning her head. "In a few days, you can try to control his memory. Maybe you will find something different!"
The implant did have some effect, but it was still a little lacking for a monster like Jiang Ling. She scanned the surrounding people who knew about it and obtained complete information about the implant.
In short, that thing is a data storage device that is specifically used to store some bioelectric signals, which is equivalent to a memory stick.
It takes several weeks for the recipient's brain to adjust to the new device.
After the adaptation period, he can store, modify or delete memories in it at will, which makes it very convenient to store some knowledge.
Furthermore, due to the non-biological nature of this implant, the Awakened cannot attempt to influence or change it through psychic abilities.
Jiang Ling grinned silently, then used psychic induction to transmit the following words to Qin Xin's mind: "As far as I know, there are more than a handful of people who can bypass the limitations of memory control and directly manipulate other people's behavior. Naturally, this includes making them reveal their own secrets.
There will be more and more people like that in the future. And it's not necessary to control your mind to make people speak.
So, if that's all your implant does, don't mention it to me.
Just because I don't like to do it doesn't mean I can't do it.
By the way, I suggest you change your future research direction to 'how to install a firewall in their heads.' Making it harder to control them might also be a good idea."
Qin Xin's expression suddenly froze, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Jiang Ling observed her changes and transmitted his thoughts, "However, this thing is quite good for children or babies. At least it can save a lot of trouble in indoctrination education. Then we can focus more on cultivating their sentiments and cultivation, which is also a good thing!"
"Yes, that's right." Qin Xin finally couldn't help but speak, "The main thing is to reduce the time spent on acquiring knowledge!"
When the other people present heard her asking and answering herself, they seemed to understand something and turned their heads to the other side, pretending to be ostriches.
"When will he wake up?" asked Tang Wanzhou, who had not spoken for a long time.
Seeing someone change the subject, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to the researchers, coughed, and said, "Hey, you guys!"
"Ouch!" The one closest to them reacted first, glanced at the indicator on the screen, and replied casually, "About 40 minutes left. We usually only give anesthesia for an hour; taking too long would affect recovery."
"What anesthetic?" Tang Wanzhou continued to ask, "There are many types of drugs that don't work on us. Have you tested them?"
"Well... we have tested it, but the sample size is limited." The researcher scratched his forehead. "Besides, the differences between you Awakened Ones are huge. Without trying it out, none of us can guarantee its effectiveness."
"How many people are participating now?" Jiang Ling got to the point.
"One-third." This time it was Qin Xin who answered, "Because it is somewhat dangerous, we don't have a mandatory requirement. However, although you can choose not to participate in this project, you must participate in all the subsequent projects."
"Oh? So what's their success rate?"
"Not much!" Qin Xin did not give the exact number.
"Forget it then." Jiang Ling refused.
She thought back to her own experience. Regardless of whether the drugs would work, the surgical equipment alone might not even be able to penetrate her surface defenses. To minimize their losses, she decided it would be better to refuse outright.
"What about you?" Qin Xin did not try to persuade Jiang Ling to stay, but looked to the other side.
Tang Wanzhou did not answer for a moment, but stared at recipient No. 223 not far away.
Such hesitation is normal. Tang Wanzhou originally wanted to refuse immediately.
Everyone would be wary of something with unpredictable effects. Furthermore, the dangers of this new technology have been clearly communicated. If it were a last resort, people might consider its cost-effectiveness, but unfortunately, they still have a choice.
After a while, Qin Xin continued, "It's actually not as bad as you think. After the implant, most people won't even notice there's a foreign object in their head. It only weighs about 1 gram and doesn't conduct electricity or participate in metabolism. As for its shape, it's similar to old chewing gum—a thin piece that's a bit flexible."
"Have you tried it?" Jiang Ling asked again.
Qin Xin shook her head. "I'd like to use it, but it's too expensive right now."
"Are you short of materials? You're not short of something that heavy, are you?"
"Not really."
She didn't continue to answer, obviously she couldn't say too much about those things.
Since it wasn't a raw material issue, there was only one possibility left—these things were all hand-made in a lab! Anything in this world, once it entered mass production, would only be constrained by raw materials and energy!
I just don't know who has such a talented hand that can make such high-precision products.
Most likely it was some awakened one, maybe using psychic powers?
