Having decided not to tell Ji Yanzhi for the time being, Ji Ting shifted course and calmly began outlining the second core problem-
How to stop his thoughts from leaking.
He quickly laid out two approaches in his mind. Approach one: identify how his thoughts were transmitted.
Every sound in this world required a medium to transmit vibrations. Since the "sound" of his thoughts could reach other people, it had to have a carrier and a means of transmission in the physical world.
His next step would therefore be to design a sensor network capable of detecting extremely faint energy fluctuations, then try to pinpoint anomalous, correlated signal sources or changes in energy fields in the space around him while he was thinking.
Once he detected a change, he could locate and mark the internal "transmitter," then analyze the molecules of the medium.
Approach two: if he exhausted every method and still could not trace the source, he would establish a defense system at the level of consciousness.
For example, he could use high-precision brain-computer interface technology to capture and encrypt thought signals before they left his brain, effectively fitting his thoughts with a combination lock so that even if someone received them, they could not decipher them.
Or he could develop a neural implant that scrambled his thoughts to conceal his true "inner voice."
Identify the problem, solve the problem. The focused light that appeared only when he confronted the most formidable challenges gathered in Ji Ting's eyes again. He had found a theoretical key to breaching the barriers of space and time; this mountain of "inner thoughts" before him would not become an unclimbable cliff either.
Now that he had a preliminary framework encompassing both the physical and conscious levels, the chain of logic naturally led to the
