Chapter 118: Chapter 90: Volut_2

3. The game unexpectedly revealed its own imperfections, which can be updated and fixed through player experience;

This is quite thought-provoking.

The so-called “imperfection” is a BUG. Will there be rewards for discovering it, and conversely, will there be penalties for exploiting the “BUG”?

It seems that there is still much to explore in the “Crisis Management Game”.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

“14:56.”

Unexpectedly, only about half an hour had passed in reality. It seems that the hint of 1.5 times game speed really worked. Previously, there was only a 20 times time difference between the game world and reality, and now it has expanded to 30 times.

This undoubtedly greatly increases the sense of security for the real body when entering the game.

But soon.

Gu Ji’s attention shifted from the game to the label on his watch:

Volut!

He instinctively took off the watch and threw it aside, then walked out of the room to try opening the game page, finding no effect, everything was normal.

This shows that even without Volut’s watch, he can still enter the game.

So how did this thing become a factor connecting game characters?

Gu Ji returned to the room, opened his computer, and began searching for the background of Volut Company.

Fortunately, this is a multinational listed company, and most of the information is publicly available online.

Volut Company, known as Weilute in Xia Wen, was founded in 1949 and is headquartered in Germany. It is a global leader in medical technology, with branches in over 140 countries, and its main products cover cardiovascular, motor disorders, endocrine, spine, central nervous system diseases, and smart medical fields.

“This almost covers all important medical categories…”

Gu Ji scrolled the mouse wheel, studying the company’s history. Its founder was Baken, born in 1924, a German electrical engineer, repairing various electronic devices for hospitals.

After World War II, when the world’s medical technology progressed, Baken seized the opportunity to fly to the United States. As if he had a cheat code, he researched and developed the world’s first battery-powered wearable external pacemaker in just four weeks, which shook the entire United States.

Thus, Weilute was born, and it quickly became a leader in the medical industry.

“Passed away at 33 due to myocardial infarction…”

Gu Ji noticed a key piece of information.

Baken invented the portable heart pacemaker in 1955 at the age of 31, and over the next two years, he designed ten professional medical product lines for Weilute, leaving behind a wealth of valuable information, laying the company’s future technical foundation.

He made pacemakers but died of heart disease?

Could this Baken also have been a player who just failed the game…

Gu Ji could only speculate this way.

As the page finished loading, he suddenly found a familiar name in the “Company Development Plan”: PM Company!

The title was “In 2015, Volut Company announced a strategic partnership with PM Military Company, providing the latter with technical support in spine and neurosurgery for the field of bionic weapons technology.”

“Pull out the radish and bring up the mud…”

Gu Ji had finally forgotten about PM Company at Laird Airport, only to encounter it again because of the game.

In the Laird Airport level, PM Company’s brutal and bloody methods left a deep impression on him.

Compared to the Northern Myanmar warlords fighting for power and cleansing employees over drugs, PM Company was completely random slaughter, just to initiate the Ethiopian civil war, sell arms, and test the new weaponry’s power.

Clicking on PM Company-related news, the latest one was about an FBI charge related to an inhumane slaughter case by PM, which was in court.

But unfortunately, due to the lack of key witnesses, the court decided to temporarily shelve the case.

This Volut company is not simple, able to be associated with PM Company…

Gu Ji took out his phone to find his father’s WeChat.

Compared to him and his mother, his father was considered a highly intellectual type, having studied bioengineering at Tsinghua for undergrad, and continued to study life sciences and biomedical engineering at MIT for graduate school.

After completing his Ph.D., he returned to Xia and joined Xia Science Institute 304, engaging in brain nerve research for over a decade.

After an accident at the research institute, his father once “disappeared” for a while, and at that time, he and his mother were worried for a long time, only to later find out he was taken for investigation about the accident’s responsibility.

After going through this, his father resigned from Xia Science Institute and joined Volut’s Xia Kingdom branch with Chen Zhiyu’s father, Chen Hongsheng, serving as the head of the human intelligence medical development group.

The last message on WeChat was from a week ago, with his father asking him if police training was tiring and reminding him to rest more.

He knew his father was usually either in the lab or on business trips, incredibly busy.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Ji finally sent a message.

“Dad, are you busy?”

To his surprise, his father replied very quickly this time.

“Just arrived at the hotel, what’s up?”

Hotel?

He opened the family group and realized his father had gone on a business trip again, this time to Dubai for a life sciences expo. But he was busy finishing his practical assessment and urgently renting a place, so he didn’t notice.

Gu Ji: “Dad, I want to ask you something. Can smart devices transmit signals remotely to send electrical signals to control the brain, like a phone or a watch?”

Gu Jian: “Since when have you been interested in this, related to a case?”

Gu Ji: “I’m just asking casually. We were chatting about it yesterday, and I wanted to brag with Gao Bo and Chen Zhiyu.”

After thinking it over, he decided not to involve his father in this for now.

Not to mention the unknown capabilities of the game itself, just these multinational companies like Volut, PM are not something he can deal with now.

Gu Jian: “You probably saw something about how β waves or α waves can influence brainwaves, enhance sleep, or improve memory.”

“Actually, brainwave technology isn’t some sort of black tech. The core lies in ’bioelectric sensors’, which are chips that sense physiological information from the body, converting it into recognizable data sources through algorithms and devices.”

“This technology is used in common devices like pacemakers, smart watches, blood pressure, and blood glucose monitors, but if you want to use electrical signals to affect the brain, current technology isn’t there yet.”

“The brain’s neurons are numerous and active, and monitoring brainwaves requires a terrifying number of leads, plus the process of how to input electrical signals into the brain needs surgical connection with conductive volume, and there’s always a risk in heart surgery, let alone brain surgery.”

“Our company is also researching in this area, and we’ve already achieved communication between animal brains and electronic signals. Maybe in another twenty or thirty years as technology advances, we’ll reach human brain intelligence fields!”

Whenever it delves into specialized knowledge, his father would talk on and on.

But Gu Ji caught on to the key point.

That is, Volut Company is also researching in this field!

Gu Ji: “Dad, after the unit is done with work and on holiday this year, take me to your company for a tour. I’m quite interested in this aspect!”

Gu Jian: “Sure, no problem at all. Once the business trip ends and if time allows, I’ll fly with Uncle Chen to Ningzhou to visit you two.”

Gu Ji: “That would be great, Dad!”

Closing his phone.

Gu Ji began to ponder.

It seems his father doesn’t know much about Volut either, which makes sense. After all, he’s only employed at the Xia Kingdom branch; the real core technology and secrets must be stored at the company’s headquarters, which should be in Germany.

Meanwhile.

Dubai, hotel executive suite.

Gu Jian pursed his lips, looking at the end of his son’s chat record, closed his phone, and his eyelids dropped halfway down, his expression cold, almost identical to Gu Ji’s in battle!

He immediately got up, left, and knocked on the door of the adjoining suite.

Chen Hongsheng, rubbing his sleepy eyes, yawned: “What’s up, Mr. Gu, is there anything?”

“Has Xiaoyu asked you any strange questions lately?”

Gu Jian directly entered the room and closed the door.

“Strange questions?”

Chen Hongsheng thought for a moment, “No, why?”

“I keep feeling like my son seems to know something!”
