――――――

Time is tight, not proofread, revised after 12 o'clock.

――――――

Finally got down to business.

The old electronic men held back for a long time, and put all the energy accumulated during this time into the reverse engineering of video game consoles.

These people have a strong ability to work backwards, and it didn't take them a few days to sort out the circuit diagram of "Space Invaders".

They watched this efficiency for the rest of their lives dumbfounded.

Humble and restrained, this is the expression of these ten people.

Yu Sheng tried to take the blueprint of "Space Invaders", which weighed at least a kilogram.

Yu Sheng sighed, "It's so complicated to make a video game console, and you guys are really good, you can sort out its circuit diagram in six days." ”

Xu Yindong smiled and said proudly, "This is our strength." In fact, this "Space Invader" is not too complicated, and when the computer was first made, it couldn't fit in a room with many drawings. This machine actually uses many common electronic components on the market, such as the microprocessor used on it is Monstec's MOS-6502.

The display equipment is a Sanyo TV.

In general, this is an assembly machine, which can greatly save the time of the maker, and also greatly save the time of our reverse thrust. ”

Yu Sheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and he asked, "Are there any ready-made chips for sale in China, and when will we be able to make our own video game consoles." ”

Xu Yindong thought for a moment and said, "This is more difficult, what you want to deduce now is only the machine "Space Invaders", and there are so many game consoles that have not been derived. This machine is a long time ago, and the new arcade machine must have a lot of new features.

We can mass-produce microprocessors in China, and I remember that the No. 5 component factory has been able to mass-produce the 8080 that imitates Intel.

However, the display equipment, as far as I know, has not yet mastered the core technology of color TV in China, and almost all of these TV factories picked up in China recently are imported from Japan.

If you want to make a video game machine, I don't think you can be in a hurry, you have to push all the game consoles backwards first, accumulate experience, and then you can draw inferences from one to the other to create a new machine.

If the microprocessor and memory chips are purchased from outside, the rest of the circuit part is not difficult and can be produced in our factory.

The biggest headache is the display device. ”

"Well, I see, please keep up the good work." Yu Sheng said. He understood, although Xu Yindong and the other ten people had strong technical ability. But if you want to produce video game consoles, you don't just need a few strongmen, you also need to have a matching company to provide parts.

In this case, it seems that building a video game console will not be smooth sailing, and there are many challenges to overcome.

At lunchtime, Yu Sheng told Nick about the progress on his side.

Nick was surprised when he heard that China could imitate the Intel 8080 microprocessor, he thought he already knew China very well. China is a poor and backward country, but it is full of vigor and vigor, and it is hardworking and self-reliant.

I didn't expect that this backward country that he thought of could even produce microprocessors released by Intel a few years ago, you know, the Soviet Union couldn't do it.

However, when he thought of the word "imitation", he chuckled in his heart.

"You can't use these chips on a game console!" Nick suddenly reacted, and the entire cafeteria turned their heads.

"What's wrong? Why can't I use it? Yu Sheng asked.

"Without Intel's authorization, they copied their chips and used them for commercial purposes, which infringed on their patent rights, and in the United States, they infringed on other people's patent rights, and they would lose a lot of money, and they would die very miserably.

If you want to use chips, it's better to use Intel and they are produced. Nick said.

The rest of my life was a little shocked, this United States is too unreasonable, it is not allowed to use its own production, so it has to use American companies?

"That's unreasonable, isn't it?" Yu Sheng complained.

"On the contrary, it makes sense." "Patent rights are also called monopoly rights, or exclusive rights. The patent owner has the right to the technology, or the object, for a certain period of time.

If others manufacture, use, or sell without permission, it is an infringement and will be punished by the iron fist of the law.

Patent protection is time-limited, generally twenty years.

I remember Intel's 8080, which should have been around less than a decade. ”

"I see." Yu Sheng nodded, and after a few bites of food, he asked again, "Then why did we produce it, and what Intel in the United States hasn't come to sue us?" Also, what's the use of patents, isn't it to stop technological progress? ”

Nick ate the dish on the chopsticks, sorted out his thoughts and said, "I didn't come to sue you, probably because Intel didn't apply for a patent in your country."

I've heard people say that patents seem to be filed separately in each country, but they are generally filed in major countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan.

One is because these places are the main markets, and the other is because patent applications also have to pay money, which is quite troublesome. It is not cost-effective to apply for a patent in some countries.

Well, as for why there is a patent law, it probably looks like this. For the rest of your life, did you make a water-powered game machine? ”

Yu Sheng nodded.

"Now your father's factory is making money from it, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

"Then if someone suddenly starts making water game machines now, and sells them cheaper than yours, and everyone else buys him, but not yours, won't you be able to make money?"

"I can't earn it."

"Then if you think about making another thing, and someone will copy you and make you unable to make money, will you still do it?"

"Maybe not."

"If you have patent protection, someone else copies your work, it is an infringement and a violation of the law. You can sue him and make him pay you money so that you can continue to make money, right? ”

"Hmm."

"If you can still make money, are you motivated to do new things again?"

"Yes."

"That's what patents are all about. Use the method of market economy to encourage people to invent and create. If you invent something that only you can do, and you can make money, you will have the motivation to do something new. So, patents don't hinder technological progress, but rather encourage it.

If a person has worked hard for many years, others can use it if they raise their hands. Those who have the intention to create new things don't just think, I make new things, others can't copy them, it's better to copy other people's.

Everyone thinks so, and they are all waiting to copy others, so there is no longer no one to make new things. ”

"I understand, I'll ask Xu Yindong in a while, what should I do if I infringe."
