"Did something happen to the women sent to the lab?"
Only something related to the women whose memories had been altered by the R-country people would prompt both Song Pinxuan and Lin Xi to call her.
Tang Li first called Lin Xi.
Lin Xi said that Song Pinxuan's research on correcting the women's memories was facing difficulties, but she couldn't articulate the exact nature of those difficulties.
In short, the women's memories remained uncorrected. They were in a dormant state, requiring considerable effort for basic daily tasks like eating and using the restroom.
Tang Li then called Song Pinxuan.
After Song Pinxuan's lengthy explanation, Tang Li finally understood. The issue was that others' mental strength was insufficient to alter the women's memories.
There were only two methods to restore the women's memories or delete the fabricated ones: either digitize their memories and re-edit them via computer, or directly access their brains through a brain-computer interface to make the changes.
However, digitizing their memories would take too much time, which they couldn't afford.
After connecting to the women's brain-computer interface ports using a non-invasive brain-computer interface, simply reading their memories consumed a vast amount of mental energy, let alone altering them.
Developing an invasive brain-computer interface to modify the women's memories would take even longer than digitizing them, and it was deemed unnecessary.
If they could obtain the invasive brain-computer interface technology or the memory digitization technology from the R-country people, it would save a significant amount of time.
The problem was that they currently had no way to acquire these technologies from the R-country people.
Therefore, they could only use the non-invasive brain-computer interface to read and modify the women's memories piece by piece, a process that was equally slow.
"Miss Tang, your mental strength is formidable. Perhaps you can help them delete the implanted false memories more quickly. Would you be willing to try?"
Upon hearing Song Pinxuan's words, Tang Li agreed after a brief moment of consideration.
However, she had more thoughts on the matter, which she did not disclose over the phone.
After hanging up, Tang Li had lunch with Tang Guo once the meal was ready, and then headed to the Military Research Institute.
Even though the R-country people had deflected blame and the "individuals coveting Song Pinxuan's research results" had disappeared, the security here remained exceptionally tight.
Tang Li, being a frequent visitor, quickly reached the floor where the thirty women were housed.
Upon entering, Tang Li saw a group of people gathered around a bed. A woman in a dormant state lay on the bed, with a wire connected to the port of the invasive brain-computer interface on her head, linking to another woman sitting by the bed wearing a non-invasive brain-computer interface helmet.
However, the woman by the bed was frowning, appearing very drowsy. After a short while, she even started to doze off.
Those nearby noticed and quickly removed the brain-computer interface helmet from her head, allowing her to rest.
It was at this moment that everyone noticed Tang Li's arrival.
Seeing Tang Li, Lin Xi quickly pulled her over and handed her the recently removed brain-computer interface helmet.
"Captain, it's up to you now!"
Seeing Lin Xi's expectant expression, Tang Li did not refuse. She took the helmet and put it on.
The moment she put it on, Tang Li felt a connection to her brain, similar to when she wore the mechanical exoskeleton.
Tang Li sent her consciousness forward.
Instantly, a massive influx of memories overwhelmed her, causing a wave of dizziness.
Tang Li quickly removed the brain-computer interface helmet.
When she tried to recall, she couldn't remember what those memories had been like.
The sensation was strange, akin to amnesia.
She clearly knew she had just seen those memories, but now she couldn't recall them no matter how hard she tried.
Tang Li pondered for a moment, then put the brain-computer interface helmet back on.
This time, prepared for what was to come, Tang Li was not overcome by dizziness from the barrage of memories. Instead, she slowly began to read them.
These memories belonged to the dormant woman on the bed, encompassing her entire life from childhood, her learned methods, skills, and thoughts.
Tang Li did not delve too deeply, skimming through them rapidly.
She continued until she encountered a memory that was distinctly unusual.
Tang Li read it carefully and discovered it was the fabricated memory implanted by the R-country people, depicting the "Heavenly King Gang" as having been benevolent to them.
Having found this memory, Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
She removed the helmet and asked, "How should this memory be deleted?"
