Yu Zhen understood what Wei Hongsi meant by "post-production processing" and asked, "Is it possible that the AI 'adding psychological viruses' to animated videos could be from another country?"
Wei Hongsi said, "That's possible. But no matter which country this AI system is built in, it must have deeply studied the thinking patterns and cultural customs of the people of Russia."
"In fact, given the current global network environment, it is very easy to achieve this. Just by creating some open-source applications, such as social tools or cultural research mini-programs, we can continuously obtain behavioral data of Chinese people and achieve this goal effortlessly."
Yu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. After discovering the problem, KR also set up a task force. They probably didn't know about the existence of the 'psychological virus' yet, but they found that the root of the problem was in the animated video."
"That New York-something company has recently run into a lot of internal problems and is now being watched by a special task force in KR. I think this company has fallen into a trap set by someone else."
Wei Hongsi also agrees with this assessment.
The Light Guide creates chaos by implanting "psychological viruses" into animated films produced by Newović's AI system. The source of the problem is easy to trace, and that is indeed the case.
This tactic is indeed very similar to what Zhiwei encountered, except that they failed to succeed here.
He suggested, "If possible, we could verify whether the psychological viruses in those two animated films were created using Newović's AI system, so as to make a judgment about the resources controlled by that organization."
If not, we should still be more vigilant.
Yu Zhen knew the importance of this issue and nodded solemnly: "I will make a suggestion to the leadership."
He then couldn't help but sigh softly, "The case in KR was originally just their problem. We provided our experience to assist them in the investigation and helped them treat their 'mentally polluted' patients—those weren't the issues. The problem is that the toxic animations from their country could very well end up here."
For films and TV series imported through legitimate channels, it is not difficult to exclude videos containing "psychological viruses" using the evaluation standards and supporting detection tools that Zhiwei has already established.
However, video content that comes in through unofficial channels is more difficult to control and is hard to completely eliminate, such as when viewed or transmitted via VPN.
If videos containing "psychological viruses" are indeed allowed to enter the network, they may only be discovered when problems arise.
Zhang Shengyong coughed and said, "Yu Zhi, you have to say it won't flow to our side."
"You little brat!" Yu Zhen pointed at Zhang Shengyong and laughed, "Fine, I said it wouldn't flow over."
He then looked at Wei Hongsi: "Professor Wei, you are basically aware of the situation. The leader asked me to ask you about your needs regarding the cases in KR country."
Wei Hongsi said, "I hope to obtain all the problematic videos. Also, if possible, it would be best to bring two more infected individuals. I will compile a list of our research and development needs."
Yu Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I've got it. You can send us your list anytime."
With the matter mostly settled, Yu Zhen and Zhang Shengyong took their leave.
Wu Wenjun came to see them off after receiving the letter, and then specifically expressed his gratitude to Wei Hongsi.
Although it was just a small thing, it made Wu Wenjun feel very comfortable. This is something that most young people like Wei Hongsi's age would not consider or be willing to do.
After seeing the person off, Wei Hongsi returned to his office, sat down in front of his computer, checked on the ongoing "death command" surgery, and seeing that everything was normal, stopped worrying about it.
There was still some time before lunch break, so he opened the CDD project department's plan and considered whether some adjustments needed to adapt to the changing situation.
Based on the analysis of the two animated videos and Yu Zhen's account of the cases that occurred in KR country, it can be basically determined that the suspects in those cases had certain psychological problems, which were very different from the "mental pollution" patients who had been treated before.
Some people who have been bullied for a long time already have serious psychological problems. When "psychological viruses" attach to them and take effect, the effect is greater than the sum of its parts, making treatment much more complicated.
Therefore, Wei Hongsi suggested that he bring two patients over for nearby research, which would be very helpful in improving the treatment plans for "emotional reshaping" and "cognitive reconstruction".
Over the next two days, many things proceeded at a much faster pace.
The "Standard for Assessing the Subconscious Influence of Video Content" compiled by Zhiwei Technology was quickly adopted by the state and was first applied to all video content imported from overseas.
This work has already laid a lot of groundwork and has a very good foundation. Applying it comprehensively within a specific scope is relatively easy.
The resources needed for the CDD project led by Wei Hongsi have been basically secured in the past two days, and the remaining resources will be allocated in the near future, which will not affect the research progress.
The core costs of this project are mainly concentrated in three areas: first, the procurement of various high-precision instruments and equipment; second, external patent licensing and underlying technology licensing; and third, the guarantee of long-term stable computing resources.

These three aspects are not only extremely costly, but also have very long approval and implementation cycles, requiring official support to proceed efficiently. In contrast, human resources and overall R&D expenses are the easiest to address.
In addition, Wei Hongsi has also made progress in finding the research subjects he desperately wanted. By next Tuesday at the latest, three patients with "mental pollution" and extreme negative emotions will arrive in Yuecheng from KR country.
KR initially opposed this, believing that C was exaggerating and trying to take this opportunity to make exorbitant demands, and then things went wrong.
One suspect, whose act of revenge did not cause serious harm, was given education and psychological treatment. After it was determined that his mental state had stabilized, he was taken to apologize to the victim (the bully) in order to obtain forgiveness.
Everything seemed normal until the suspect bowed to the victim by the bedside and suddenly picked up a sharp metal object from the bedside table and committed the crime again.
This incident forced the KR country's task force and officials to re-examine the C country's analysis and proposals.
After repeated observations and verifications, they finally believed that the suspects were suffering from very specific psychological problems. If not properly addressed, the suspects would either attack the victims (bullies) again or choose to commit suicide.
After further communication, the KR country agreed to the C country's suggestion.
