Chapter 217: Source Code
Chapter 217: Source Code (3)
"What you are about to hear is highly confidential information.
As a military personnel, I don’t need to explain the corresponding confidentiality regulations.”
In the monitoring room filled with various advanced equipment, Shi Qiang stood in front of two monitors with a serious face and spoke to Zhang Ying and Gao Deng inside.
"
Such a horrifying incident immediately attracted the high attention of the relevant departments, and an immediate investigation was launched into it.
And according to our investigation, we have directly ruled out the possibility of an accident."
Not an accident?!
That was a premeditated attack!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying and Gao Deng's expressions suddenly became serious, with even a hint of anger in their eyes.
As Chinese soldiers, defending the country is their bounden duty. The behavior of those bastards can be said to have irritated their nerves and touched their bottom line.
“We will certainly not let these bastards off.
After the accident, we have checked the relevant personnel along the line through monitoring and other means.
Combined with the information provided by Captain Zhang Ying just now, we have reason to believe that the murderer was definitely in the car at the time!"
"Why are you so sure that the other person was in the car at the time?"
"We can ask Dr. Ma Zhao, the technical director of this operation, to explain."
Dr. Ma Zhao, played by Ning Li, also appears in the camera at this moment.
Because of time constraints, he just briefly explained the principles behind Zhang Ying's recent experiences.
It turns out that the reason why Zhang Ying could repeatedly return to the scene before the train explosion was not because of the use of any virtual reality technology. Similarly, the Secret Service also had no such black technology as traveling through time and space and conducting time reversal.
What they activated in this emergency was another plan that was originally only in conception, called "Source Code".
The principle of this plan is very simple. Just as the halo will still exist for a short time after the light bulb is turned off, the electromagnetic field of the human brain will continue to function for a short time even after the person dies, storing short-term memories before death.
The subconscious therapy device invented by Dr. Ma Zhao can read the memories of the deceased about eight minutes before his death, which are carried by this brain wave.
So there was the so-called "Source Code" project, which used countless subconscious therapy devices to connect all the passengers who died or survived the train explosion and build a giant public dream.
Then let people keep going back to the memory of the 8 minutes before the explosion to find out the murderer behind the train explosion.
As for how to obtain intelligence after finding the murderer behind the scenes, that is the job of Shi Qiang, the interrogation expert.
The remaining brain waves of the deceased, the giant dream constructed by dozens or hundreds of people, searching for the murderer through memory.
Although these plots also appeared in the films Wang Hao had filmed before.
But at this moment, putting them together to form such a novel sci-fi idea really made all the audience in the theater feel novel and surprised, and they even couldn't help but talk about it in a low voice. And those experienced movie fans who are a little more knowledgeable, or those related practitioners in the film industry, saw this and had a little understanding in their hearts.
It turns out that this is the so-called “movie universe”!
At the previous press conference, although Wang Hao's description was exciting, after calming down, everyone did not have a clear concept of the "movie universe", and most people still thought that this was just a larger series of movies.
However, now with vivid examples like "Source Code", they finally realized the unique charm of the "Cinematic Universe".
Although they are different movies, they share the same world view, and it is very likely that some props or technologies in the previous movie will become the basis for the development of the story of the later movie.
Just like in "Source Code", the subconscious therapy device and Dr. Ma Zhao first appeared in "Buried" directed by Wang Hao.
Then the memory is repeatedly reshaped, which is another plot from "The Shallows".
As for the bridging of memories through the subconscious therapy device, although it was only a matter between Shi Qiang and Ma Chenggong in "Fatal Call", it also provided a strong foundation for bridging multiple people to build a giant dream.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you can't understand Source Code if you haven't seen the previous movies.
After all, Dr. Ma Zhao’s explanation on the big screen is still very easy to understand.
However, if you have watched the previous few movies and then watch "Source Code", you will discover the complete development context of the technology of subconscious therapy device.
This is extremely interesting, as if it is a real technology, from being just developed, to going through initial clinical trials, to the maturity of the technology, and beginning to expand into new applications.
It takes all circumstances into account, as if it were a real alternate universe, which is rarely seen in previous film series.
Just when many audiences were amazed by director Wang Hao's creative imagination and the foreshadowing of the "movie universe", on the big screen, Zhang Ying, after listening to Dr. Ma Zhao's explanation, asked a question that also puzzled the audience.
"Then how can you be sure that the terrorist who caused the bombing was on the train?"
"Because you dream about whatever you think about during the day, even though the dream created by the 'Source Code' project looks very real, its underlying logic is still based on the memories of many dreamers.
Everyone’s memory is definitely one-sided.”
As the inventor of the subconscious therapy device, Ma Zhao, a famous doctor of electronic information science, biology and psychology, has a very deep understanding of this device and the human subconscious mind, so his explanations often go straight to the essence.
Since Zhang Ying was able to become a special forces soldier, he must be extremely smart and can understand things almost instantly.
“You mean, if no one knows where the explosive is hidden and what it looks like, then the specific shape of the explosive will never appear in the public dream.
But now I have found the explosive, and the pattern of the explosive is very clear, which means that among those injured or dead who participated in building the public dream, one must be the murderer!"
"And the explosive must have been assembled by that person himself, and he must have known the explosive very well, otherwise what you saw would have been just a shell."
Shi Qiang added another sentence.
