Chapter 091: Acquisition of Onyx

David Freeman has his own specialized lab, and his assistants have tools ready, and it seems certain that Shi Hu will accept the suggestion. Being curious about your own catties is probably something that most people will not refuse...... Following the assistant's prompts, Shi Hu sat down in a special armchair.

He was given a helmet covered with sensors and patches attached to his head, temples, and even his chest. Shi Hu feels weird, a lot like crazy scientific research in the movie...... The assistant brought in a few more LCD screens and faced him.

David Freeman explains: "We will use a combination of sensors and images to measure and use computers to calculate and estimate your brain's processing peak ......"

"Come on, magnify the move." Shi Hu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

"Okay, take it easy, it's good for more accurate statistical ......" Freeman's voice fell, the screen in front of Shi Hu lit up, and the test began.

At the beginning, it is no different from a normal IQ test, with a number of questions displayed on the screen and Shi Hu being asked to answer them - the sooner the better. Shi Hu did as he wished, and his eyes swept to say the answer. Freeman's expression was solemn, and he commanded his assistant to operate, and the topic became more and more complicated.

In the front, it was just common memory, arithmetic, or images, but in the back, it became an abstract concept of space and dimension, and Shi Hu had to concentrate more energy. He wanted to be fast, but it was already struggling, until he felt that he couldn't keep up with the transformation space and quick memory later.

"Stop!" Freeman stopped testing.

"It took 30 minutes." The assistant on the side reported.

Erica also raised her hand to look at the time, and then asked Shi Hu, "How do you feel?" ”

The assistant helped him remove the helmet, Shi Hu wiped his sweat, and shook his head: "It's like forcing you to think about a hundred things at the same time, and then connect them together." ”

Erica doesn't understand, and the onlooker sees only abstract images and colors.

Freeman explains: "It's only when you sit in the tester's position and think about the problem as you go deeper that you get tired, and we are all calm. ”

"Did you create it?" Shi Hu stood up.

Freeman proudly: "Yes. It's just that it still has some flaws, human beings still have too little understanding of the human brain, and the exploration of God's forbidden area is still far away. ”

The results were evaluated, and Freeman was nowhere to be seen, and the few of them sat outside in their offices and waited. Shi Hu, who had nothing to do, talked nonsense with the middle-aged man, that is, Nicholas...... Discussing issues such as IQ, intelligence, and achievement, Erica also makes a point from time to time.

It is their consensus that IQ and achievement are not linked, but is high IQ low EQ? They are controversial - Shi Hu listed himself, not to say that he has high emotional intelligence, but at least it is normal, and he is a little black. Is that high IQ all-powerful? Referring to human history, Leonardo da Vinci can represent omnipotence.

Geniuses like Nikola Tesla can't be said to be omnipotent. Shi Hu believed that there was a specialization in art, and Einstein could not do the work of Hannibal (a military strategist), and Hannibal could not grasp Einstein's theory...... Erica's genius is more focused on numbers, comprehension.

Erica was modest: "I was the result of how hard I worked. ”

Shi Hu will also pat himself on the back: "So you will be very good." ”

After a whole bunch of Barra, Freeman finally appeared. He held the report card in his hand, sat down with an excited expression, and couldn't wait to say: "The test results show that the effective utilization rate of your brain at the peak stage is more than 20%!" This is definitely an exciting result! ”

"You have to know that the highest in normal people is only 10%, and for reasons such as the self-protection of the brain, the limit of intelligence, etc., it is rare to break through this number, but sir, you have a minimum of 18% throughout the whole process, and I predict that the latter part will be 22%, but unfortunately the sensitivity of the instrument is not high enough......"

According to Freeman, normal people have limited efficiency of use - mostly due to physiological self-preservation. The genius category, which has a more developed brain, is usually around 12%, but not more than 15%. As for Shi Hu, he has broken through the normal and set a new record.

Freeman continued: "My guess is that the higher the number, the more extraordinary abilities it will entail, such as high-IQ people, who will be more outstanding in some ways than the average person. Do you feel that you are different from ordinary people, or even beyond the place? ”

What are the differences...... Shi Hu looked up at Freeman, is it mind-reading?

Could it be that mind reading or hinting is really a characteristic of the brain domain when it becomes stronger?

Shi Hu had some concepts in his heart, but he didn't speak, and changed his words: "Yes, my memory is beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"How strong?" Freeman expects.

Shi Hu looked around, his gaze resting on the bookshelf in the corner: "Find a random book for me, I can quickly memorize it." ”

Freeman brought a professional book, and Shi Hu flipped to the end, more than seventy pages, and he began to turn from the first page, very quickly, without blinking his eyes, until about a third of the thickness was over, and then handed the book back to Freeman, and said, "You can ask me the question before 30 pages." ”

Freeman thought that Shi Hu was asking about words, and he asked, but what was even more surprising was that Shi Hu was talking about questions - meaning, he was able to think at the same time.

Freeman's theory became clear: "I think that the more developed the brain, the more powerful it can be!" ”

Shi Hu was also thinking, maybe this was the case.

In the face of difficult problems, ordinary people need to concentrate all their energy to think, which means long-term high load occupation, and the effective value of genius is higher, so it can be easier to deal with it...... No matter how smart you are, you can easily overcome problems and understand everything like Shi Hu.

It's a very amazing theory, Shi Hu suddenly became interested in this company.

……

When she returned that night, Erica handed him the information.

Onyx is a privately funded company that conducts research on neurological, cellular, and human brains, as well as brilliant figures such as David Freeman, who has worked in the brain domain and bionic computing. His articles on bionic computers and artificial intelligence also attracted Shi Hu's attention.

What Freeman means is that human beings can transplant their brains and consciousness into other organisms, biomimetic organisms, and even science fiction "organic and inorganic synthesizers" through clever technological means...... Does this mean that when the human body dies, there is still hope for consciousness to continue?

If he is destined to die in the future, will he be able to retain consciousness first?

Shi Hu's interest, transferred to Erica's hands, became a business problem, she is not good at biological science, but how to evaluate, business negotiation, her specialty.

She has studied that Onyx is a for-profit organization -- that R&D is for money, patents, technology transfer, and so on. However, these medium-sized institutions often face problems such as insufficient R&D expenses, debts, inability to turn over funds, and limited government funding.

If it's not a large institution, it's bound to be underfunded, and Onix's dilemma is typical: shareholders want the company to do something profitable, not a bottomless pit of research and development, but that's just the case with scientific research. David Freeman's funding has been cut again and again, and it has been difficult.

If someone can take over the business, the shareholders should be happy.

She explained her idea to Shi Hu, and he also made up his mind: to buy Onyx.

Shi Hu wants to study his quirkiness and see what business opportunities he can find; At the same time, he was also intrigued by David Freeman's project. Onyx has a well-established biological research environment and projects that he is interested in, and this is the place that satisfies him.

Once he has an idea, the next step is to evaluate and negotiate.

This is not something that can be done by one person, Erica took the data from the appraisal agency, and also called some people who are familiar with finance and law, formed a negotiation team, contacted the shareholders of the other party, and started negotiations...... Shi Hu only needs results, and usually goes to learn from David Freeman.

He was currently studying, but soon, Freeman, the teacher, was surprised: he had mastered it too quickly.

It hardly took much explanation for Shi Hu to fully comprehend.

Behind this surprise, the negotiations are also going well, Onix has been losing money for three consecutive years, all kinds of projects have no eyebrows, shareholders have long lost patience, hearing that someone is interested, they want to get rid of it quickly. The only disagreement is the price, which needs to be repeated.

In the end, 92% of the shares were valued at $65 million.

The acquirers are Stone International and GLX, accounting for 52% and 40% respectively, and Shi Hu does not have direct shares, but both companies are his. For foreign-funded enterprises, the United States can not do anything except collect corporate income tax, and Shi Hu can avoid at least 30% of the individual income tax.
