Chapter 114 Speculation about the Listener



When Gao Ang returned to his small courtyard, everything that had been confiscated by the city bureau was returned.

The instruments and such remained untouched, except that much of the giant squid's tentacle flesh was missing; they left him with a piece about the size of a bowl.

The three Chisui brothers were still on the rooftop, and the city bureau's search did not find anything unusual about them.

According to Chitose, these people probably just saw them as ordinary silicone toys...

The only slightly troublesome thing is the original owner of the courtyard. Since a dead body was found in this place, we will definitely have to contact him.

His original intention was not to continue renting to Gao Feng, but under Gao Feng's financial offensive and promises, the owner of the courtyard compromised.

Gao Feng promised him that if the opportunity arose, he would buy the courtyard from him at market price.

In the past, Gao Feng would never have had this idea.

But things are different now. With our connection to the Health Bureau, this little thing shouldn't be difficult to handle.

It took Gao Ang an entire night to put all the instruments and other equipment back in their proper places.

August 18th, Changming Island, sunny;

A lot has happened in the past few days, and it has basically all gone according to plan.

Tony's death was indeed discovered, and Bureau 303 tracked him down to my hometown. With the cooperation of the Shanghai Metropolitan Police Department, they interrogated me, but unfortunately, they got nothing out of me, hehe.

They probably still have some doubts, but those doubts should be largely diluted by ROG.

The plan was launched the moment they obtained the giant squid's tentacle meat;

First, use Tony's death to draw the city police and 303 Bureau into the bureau's fold;

Then shift the suspicion onto yourself, let them chase you across thousands of miles, and even alarm many people;

The Health Bureau and my senior sister have both successfully joined the fray. The old man probably hasn't made any moves yet, but he must have noticed something amiss…

Old ginger is spicier!

The Health Bureau is full of big shots, and my senior sister also has big shots behind her; they must have put pressure on her.

With the establishment of Dong Sheng Health, the efficacy of ROG should have already been presented to the experts.

Relevant departments will definitely investigate any leads related to ROG, including Bureau 303;

Aside from Bureau 303, those departments would likely encounter obstacles from the Health Bureau or senior colleagues.

Bureau 303 will likely hand over the instruments they found and some data files that I deliberately left for them, which will lead to the conclusion that ROG was made by extracting or borrowing from giant squid.

At this point, Tony's death is no longer important; after all, he was just a wandering ghost.

The focus should be on: how I am extracted or made into ROG;

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be given special protection;

But I'm different. I'm connected to a new interest group within the Health Bureau, the elders behind my senior sister, and even an old man...

Although I don't know how powerful the old man was, judging from his shrapnel injuries and the extraordinary treatment he received, it must have been quite significant.

After this incident, my secret should now have a plausible explanation, allowing me to transform from a law student into a reclusive nerd who loves inventing and researching?

"Your Excellency, do you think our plan has achieved its purpose of self-protection?"

"Well... so far, all parties have kept silent, and many departments have classified your file as confidential. I'm only worried about one thing now."

You mean the eavesdropper?

Gao Ang frowned and then stroked the little mustache that was trying to grow.

"Yes, this force is neither here nor there. During the time you left Shanghai, they have remained steadfast in their hold, as if they don't care where you went at all. I don't understand it."

Gao Ang carefully recalled his experiences in Shanghai over the past three years and realized that he hadn't offended any important figures.

"By the way, didn't you say last time that you had tracked down information about the mastermind? What's the latest situation?"

"There was no follow-up. He was cunning, and his IP address was completely different from the commonly used computer language, making it difficult to trace to a fixed address."

"Not the same approach? He invented a new computer language?"

"I can't rule out that possibility. In the process of tracking him, I found that he seems to have something in common with us."

Gao Ang was stunned for a moment, then excited, and then fearful.

"What do you mean? We have our own kind now?"

"It shouldn't be. His computer data is very strange. It's very similar to our magnetic pole signal, but the strength and function are pitifully small, like a stripped-down version."

A stripped-down version...

Gao Ang suddenly remembered a news article he had seen online before, which seemed to say that some companies and government departments abroad had started to conduct research on BCI. Could it be that some people in China were also doing this, and had even achieved initial results?

Or was the person who ordered the eavesdropping a foreigner?

If that's the case, then everything Chisui just said basically fits the characteristics of BCI.

Like them, they can freely navigate the online world; however, because it's the earliest version of BCI, its functionality is lacking, making it seem rather basic...

Furthermore, because it uses BCI, it does not have a universal IP address, making it impossible to trace specific information.

It matches up perfectly, all of them match up perfectly.

"Your Excellency, it seems we have encountered a formidable opponent."

The problem now is that they are in the open, while the other side is in the shadows.

Moreover, the other side knows them inside and out, at least on the surface; while they know nothing about their opponents.

Is it a man or a woman, an individual or a group?

Is it a doubt about his abilities, or is there some other conspiracy?

"I never expected this. I just solved one problem, and now another big one has been triggered."

Gao Ang lay in bed, his mind a little confused.

"What we need to do now is to bring the focus of both sides to the same level. Why can you monitor me, but I have no information about you?"

It's impossible to destroy the listening device rashly; we need to think of a reasonable way.

Ten listening devices, all destroyed at once—doesn't that mean they were discovered all along?

How could an ordinary person possibly detect such a sophisticated listening device...?

"Your Majesty, order some renovation and building materials. We're going to start a major construction project tomorrow."

It was already mid-to-late August when Gao Ang, under the pretext of adding insulation to his house, cleaned up several listening devices.

The one in the kitchen was easy to fix; we just removed the stove.

The one in the car was simple too. It was installed under the driver's seat. Gao Ang drove directly to the 4S shop, had them clean it inside and out, and then just threw it away.

In any case, Chitose has already locked onto the network data that resembles a magnetic pole signal, so the absence of these ten bugging devices will not affect their tracking.

"Phew, I can finally speak freely."

Gao Feng resolved everything in two days.

"Xiaohua, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. The village supermarket just got some fresh hairy crabs, over a pound each."

"Meow." Little Flower licked her lips, already getting hungry.

"But you can't eat too much, half a chicken at most."

"Meow?" Why should I?

"This stuff is cold in nature, and eating too much of it can easily cause diarrhea."

"Meow." Little Flower shook her head, fluttered her ears, and said, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."

"One male and one female, you eat half of the female, and the rest is mine."

Gao Yang skillfully turned on the fire and placed the pressure cooker on top.

As the flames leaped up and licked the bottom of the pressure cooker, he sensed something unusual.

It was as if there were some faint, elusive factors drifting and roaming within his perception range, something he felt he could grasp but couldn't quite hold onto.

He knew this wasn't his imagination, but a new ability.

Hearing test, ruled out;

Smell, eliminate;

Gravitational field? No, what does a flame have to do with a gravitational field?

Magnetic field? (Tentative)

Vision? Probably not either. This feeling is internal, not external, so we can rule that out.

The problem lies in the magnetic field or gravitational field.

But what is the relationship between a flame, a magnetic field, and a gravitational field?

"Your Excellency, please help me find the chemical formula for the combustion of gas."

"Yes, sir. The chemical formula for the combustion of gas is: 2CO + O2 = 2CO2."

This chemical formula shows that the C atom should be the least densely packed atom.

In the heightened perception, that faint feeling should be the C atom; if it were the O atom, the intensity of this perception would be even greater.

The molecular mass of C is 12, and that of O is 16, which explains his previous feeling.

If it's an O, the proportion of the relatively blurry side should be less.

Why C instead of O?

Just because C can burn?

Is O just a combustion accelerant?

Yes, the combustion process of gas is actually the process of C atoms and O atoms recombinating.

When CO is supported by a combustion engine, it begins to burn, undergoing a chemical reaction that breaks the chemical bonds between C and O.

After the chemical bonds of CO break, they reform into new chemical bonds, which is CO2. In this process, heat is released.

"In other words, under certain specific circumstances, I can sense certain atoms whose chemical bonds have broken?"

Gao Feng didn't find this assumption strange.

He can sense electric charge and electromagnetic waves, so it's not surprising that he can sense a larger atom.

"If that's the case, then the previous assumptions have to be overturned. The only thing that can sense C atoms is the gravitational field, since atoms also have mass."

Objects with mass have a gravitational field.

Gao Ang recalled the process of generating electricity, in which the gravitational field sensed the free charge and then controlled the movement of the charge through the magnetic field.

To give an analogy: a gravitational field is relative to vertical, while a magnetic field is multidirectional.

If the hypothesis about the carbon atom is true, it means that it can start a fire directly without any combustion aid.

The combustion process is very simple; all that is needed is an external force that can break the chemical bond between C and O.

The external force that aids combustion is precisely this. If we could use a magnetic field to replace the combustion-aiding process, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Thinking of this, Gao Ang immediately turned off the stove.

Little Flower, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered: Meow? You're not going to make me hairy crabs?

"I'll make it for you myself. You go out first, don't get poisoned," he said, carrying Xiaohua out of the kitchen and tossing her onto the car roof, repeatedly warning her, "Don't come any closer, it's dangerous, be careful with your cat life."

He opened the valve, letting the gas from the stove slowly overflow, and Gao Ang began to try to sense the carbon atoms in the gas.
