However, recruiting this person also involves instability and risks.
The Super Brain Project is likely a project of the Andra Group, and the developer may have betrayed the Andra Group and was then hired by Andra to kill him.
If he hired this developer, he would really step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight of the Andra Group, or even come into direct conflict with it.
The group is a "collective" composed of countless people and countless consciousnesses, so the general minor conflicts and frictions below are unlikely to attract high attention and comprehensive deployment and all-out targeting.
Not to mention the distant past, even under a certain penguin group, there are no subordinates to each other and they are even in hostile competition with each other. But when it comes to the collective, it is impossible for everyone to have unified thinking and be dispatched at will, or for everyone to be united because of a small matter. Instead, there is more internal friction.
But the plot of "Super Brain" is different.
The effect of the 'super brain' drug, which is a finished product, means that Andra Group attaches great importance to it. After all, if this drug is mastered, the progress of all other projects may be greatly increased, and a large number of groups will benefit.
If he were to step forward and hire the traitor whom Andra wanted to silence, and obtain the technological achievements in disguise, he would definitely become a thorn in the side of Andra Group.
But now he doesn't have the capital to deal with this behemoth.
Personal safety might be easier to deal with, as he has some protection in Xia Country with the help of Uncle Luo and Atuo. However, if a group or even a consortium with such widespread influence creates any trouble for him in other areas, he will be in big trouble.
“The most important thing is whether it is worth it…”
Xia Xu quickly grasped the key.
Is this researcher valuable
There is no doubt that there are, and it is even very high.
But the development of the super brain drug is definitely not his own achievement, but relies on the human and material resources invested by the Andra Group and the long-term accumulation of technology, information and samples.
And there is an obvious problem here. No matter what the reason or original intention, this researcher has left and betrayed the Andra Group.
And after he left, he still continued his research privately, and he even succeeded in the end, which indirectly proved that he actually kept the complete experimental data of the entire super brain project.
This is also a melodramatic plot in many similar movies, where a researcher from a villain organization suddenly turns against them and wants to embrace "justice", and then righteously runs away with the research results or uses them for himself.
Is it really just
Maybe.
Ignoring other subjective and additional factors, from the perspective of investment and R&D alone, the Andra Group invested a lot of manpower and resources, and the technological achievements should have belonged to it legally, but were betrayed and stolen by employees.
From the perspective of employees, they may be able to cover it up with various reasons such as the group itself is evil, the purpose of using technology is evil, and the results are mainly developed by themselves.
But from the 'boss' point of view, his betrayal and theft are facts.
Unfortunately, the only reason Xia Xu looked for him and saved him was because he was his boss.
If it was really just for the technology, he could have waited until he died to find it. Besides, the protagonist of the story would most likely be able to obtain the manufacturing technology. He couldn't just leave a regrettable ending where the finished product would be broken down into its original form after use.
If it only cost him some money, he wouldn't mind using such a valuable "righteous" employee who had a history of betrayal and might cause trouble at a critical moment. But if he had to expose himself to the public and face the Andra Group for this, it would be a bit of a loss.
"Forget about forcibly saving people, as it may cause trouble, but we can't give up the brain-enhancing drugs in the Super Brain plot..."
After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Xu made up his mind.
The risks of saving people were not proportional to the benefits, so he did not intend to participate.
But it is definitely impossible for him to give up the drugs in the super brain plot. I believe that no one can resist the temptation of drugs that can strengthen the brain.
If he really had to choose between missing out on the brain-enhancing drugs and facing the Andra Group head-on, he would definitely choose the latter. The risk is worth taking.
And he will not necessarily be exposed. He is just a fisherman hiding behind the scenes, just like the plot of "The Dying Man", the protagonist Zhang Jianmin and others don't even know his existence.
The plot of "Super Brain" is more convenient. Things are placed directly in public places, and the protagonist can easily "pick them up". Naturally, he can do it since he knows all this in advance.
At the same time, it is impossible for the protagonist of the story to get something and then die before he rises, so this kind of bargain will most likely not attract the Andra Group's targeting, at least not with all its strength, or because of various factors, the protagonist will be given enough time to develop and gain a foothold.
Boom boom!
After lying on the sofa and sorting out the plot and his own risks and gains and losses, Xia Xu was about to get up and make dinner when there was a knock on the door.
When he opened it, he saw that it was Luo Hongyun who had just moved next door to him.
Except when facing his daughter, Luo Hongyun usually did not show much emotion. After seeing Xia Xu, his brows relaxed a little and he said, "Have you eaten? Come to my place and have a simple meal together."
"Why, Uncle Luo, are you going to treat me to a moving dinner or a New Year's Eve dinner?"
Xia Xu felt happy but also a little weak.
This was the first time Luo Hongyun invited him to dinner at home - according to Louise, her father's cooking skills were beyond words.
"Forget it, just eat something. I bought some stewed food and other things, which can be eaten after heating."
Luo Hongyun nodded slightly.
After hearing this, Xia Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Luo Hongyun to the next door.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pile of braised dishes and cold dishes in plastic bags on a folding dining table. I glanced at the bedroom on the side and saw Louise sitting at the desk with textbooks and exercise books on the table. There were new wet tear marks on her face, and her big black eyes were now a little red and swollen from crying.
"I'm going to stir-fry some hot dishes and heat these up at the same time. Can you help me with Louise's homework?"
Luo Hongyun, who had just come in, picked up the braised dishes on the table and went straight to the kitchen. For some reason, Xia Xu seemed to be able to see a lightness in his steps, as if he had a sense of relief and ease, but also a bit of embarrassment as if he had fled in a hurry.
"So... this is your real purpose, Uncle Luo?"
Xia Xu came and sat down next to Louise. Looking at the little girl who had obviously just cried loudly, he understood instantly.
Uncle Luo must have been tutoring the little girl with her homework just now.
No matter how kind the parents are, or how deep the affection between father and daughter is, when it comes to tutoring homework, they will become mortal enemies.
Some adults think that asking these questions is an insult to children's intelligence, but for children, they are indeed difficult or even impossible to understand.
The cognitive and thinking gaps between the two, and the feeling that they can't be convinced no matter what they do, will be extremely irritating to adults. Coupled with the doubts about their own children's IQ, it can cause internal injuries and cerebral congestion.
"Brother Xia, Dad is mean to me, but it's obviously because he's stupid..."
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Xia Xu sitting down, Louise immediately started to complain in a wronged manner.
"Yes, yes, it's all his fault. Louise, please stop crying. If there's anything you don't know, I'll teach you."
Xia Xu quickly tried to comfort her.
Since he has been fooled, what else can he do? Just do it. Excluding factors such as mentality, he thinks he will have no problem teaching elementary school questions.
"Here, here, and here..."
At the beginning everything went very smoothly. Perhaps because she was facing an outsider and knew that she could not be as willful as she was with her father, Louise once again showed her well-behaved side. At least in Xia Xu's eyes, she was quite cooperative and serious.
But within two minutes...
Please connect the following similar projects...
Find the shapes that do not have the same characteristics...
Please write a number that is equal to zero and not equal to zero...
"What the hell is this question?"
Looking at the weird questions in the elementary school textbooks, which were either completely unrelated or identical in graphics and completely challenged the logic of adults, Xia Xu's face turned green.
"I know this, they all have squares... this one has triangles... this one is the teacher testing us to think and question, and we don't need to answer to be correct."
However, little Louise was extremely good at these questions. She finished them quickly by writing and drawing. At the end, she smiled and said, "Brother is so stupid. He is as stupid as dad."
