The Navy only took this money to support the research and development of materials, and the students of the Royal Institute of Technology turned around and left them alone

I don't have the money to pretend to be a local tyrant, I can't get out the material research and development expenses of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and I still say that I want to develop materials in one year, and I want to see a high-pressure steam engine in three years, and I want patents to pop and crackle, nonsense!

That's right, these students of the Royal Institute of Technology can really despise the navy, and dare to say such big things as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

Why, because the Royal Institute of Technology has money, and at the same time they spend more money!

The Royal Institute of Technology has never been a simple school, or even a simple scientific research institution, but more like a combination of schools, scientific research institutions, and commercial institutions.

First of all, they have and are researching the most advanced science and technology of this era, which is similar to academic institutions such as universities.

However, many of their research and inventions have also brought them a lot of patent income.

As the only scientific research institution in the Tang Dynasty, thanks to the patent law implemented by the Tang Dynasty, they receive patent authorization through the research and development of various products, which is to receive soft hands!

For example, the five-year rifle, this rifle is not a product developed by the three major weapons companies, they are at most a manufacturing factory, and it is the Royal Institute of Technology that really developed this rifle.

Then the Royal Institute of Technology authorized the three major weapons companies to produce, each production, that is to charge five dollars of silver royalties, at present this rifle has been produced at least 80,000 units, for this alone, they are charged 40,000 taels of silver royalties.

However, what is even more fucking is that the five coins of silver are only the patent license fee for the rifle itself, and then the new rifle steel bayonet, paper shell fixed bullets, and even the gunpowder itself need to pay the patent fee.

And basically, 80 percent of all the ordnance products produced by the three major arms companies are required to pay royalties to the Royal Institute of Technology.

The patent fees handed over to the Royal Institute of Technology by the three major weapons companies alone are nearly 500,000 every year!

Then there are Zhaoqing Machinery Company, several steel companies and several other companies that also pay the majority of patent fees!

Many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have paid nearly one million taels of silver in patent fees to the Royal Institute of Technology every year, and together with the patent licensing income to other private enterprises, the annual patent income of the Royal Institute of Technology has reached more than one million taels of silver, and the rated military expenditure of the Navy is only a few million yuan a year.

But the Royal Institute of Technology makes a lot of money and spends a lot of money!

For example, in order to study new steel alloy materials and production processes, they built a small steel plant and hired dozens of workers to conduct various random experiments for many years.

And there are dozens of similar institutes under the Royal Institute of Technology!

Moreover, many research projects are purely theoretical research, which belong to the kind that cannot produce practical patents and make money, and those that can make money are some inventive projects.

So the Royal Institute of Technology is also under a lot of pressure, and the officials in charge of logistics are pooling money to wipe their butts for those students all day long!

Needless to say, to get together the money, to start a new project, how can you get thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, those students just need to report and ask for money, but how the money comes, it doesn't matter.

Wipe your ass, this is because scientific research is more dangerous, and the students in the Datang Royal Institute of Technology are almost all kinds of geniuses, and sometimes, genius and madness are synonymous!

For example, those students in the medical department, dissecting the normal dead is no longer able to satisfy their curiosity, once I heard that a person had some kind of vicious disease and died, and wanted to bring the corpse over to be dissected to see what was going on, and the family would definitely not do it, the deceased was respected.

Fortunately, the family members haven't done a funeral yet, and these bold medical students invited a few gentlemen from outside, wanting to steal the body directly from the mourning hall!

Normal people can't do this kind of thing, but these medical students do it, and even the cost of hiring Liang Shangjun is in the name of research fees.

As a result, these gentlemen on the beam were not very skilled, and they were caught by their families on the spot and reported to the patrol police.

They also had little discipline, and confessed to the patrol police on the spot that several students from the Royal Institute of Technology had asked them to steal the body.

When the matter was revealed, the medical students patted their butts and turned around and went back to the laboratory to continue dealing with the dead, leaving the officials of the Royal Polytechnic Administration in the wind, and a group of patrol officers who were also helpless.

Running into the lab and arresting someone? The entrance to the laboratory is guarded by several Guards soldiers with loaded guns, and they can't get in!

Arrest people on the road, don't you see people coming in and out with the bodyguards of the Guards, this went up to arrest people, people still think you play assassination, when the time comes, people are not caught, it is possible to be shot yourself.

In the end, it was the officials of the administration department of the Royal Institute of Technology who came out to compensate for the smiles, and the director of the administrative department, a high-ranking official of Zheng Sanpin, personally went to the victims' homes to apologize cheekily, and strive for their forgiveness and reconciliation.

Then he ran to the side of the Inspectorate and asked the imperial historians of the Inspectorate to show mercy.

After all, this is not an ordinary civil case, it is useless for the family to forgive it, at most it is just to reduce the punishment, but the Inspectorate will still intervene and prosecute, at least those gentlemen will inevitably go to prison for a while.

But whether we can discuss the crime and the punishment again, our Royal Institute of Technology is not unreasonable, and the out-of-court settlement is very good, your inspectorate wants to uphold the law, and we also understand, so you can see if it is under the standards of the law, give a light punishment, such as a fine, and then let them sweep the streets.

Of course, if you don't want to be in the Inspectorate, we at the Royal Institute of Technology will also accompany you, and you don't need to hire a lawyer to fight a lawsuit, so you can directly pull out the college's lawyer team.

In order to collect royalties, they have more than 50 lawyers at the Royal Institute of Technology, and in the past few years, they have successfully bankrupted more than 20 companies that stole their patents.

If you really have to make up your mind, they will start a lawsuit between the Royal Institute of Technology and the Inspectorate, and there will be no problem at all for a year and a half, and it is not certain who will win in the end.

Moreover, even if the Royal Institute of Technology loses the lawsuit, this kind of matter is at most an ordinary case, and according to the current laws of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of matter is not very serious, at most it is a fine and short-term detention.

Because after the chief of the administrative department and a deputy envoy of the Inspectorate met in person and exchanged opinions, well, in fact, after some bargaining between the two sides, the two sides came to a consensus: There is no need to go directly to the judge of Chengtianfu for this matter, and settle out of court!

Then, under the threat of inducement, the matter was finally ended with a fine and a month of street sweeping.

For the Inspectorate, they succeeded in getting the crazy students of the Royal Institute of Technology, who were high up and their noses turned to the sky, to sweep the streets, and they also fined a large sum of money, a full 20,000 taels of silver, which was a victory, and greatly increased the prestige of their Inspectorate!

Otherwise, such a trivial matter, there is no way to let the deputy capital envoy of the Inspectorate personally go out to prosecute and negotiate!

And for the Royal Institute of Technology, if the students do not go to jail and are not detained by the police, that is a victory!

Sweep the streets, just let them sweep the inside of the academy!

Fines, that's not a big deal, anyway, they have money at the Royal Institute of Technology, and they paid the fines on the spot for those madmen who got into trouble.

But they finally settled the matter, and as soon as they were done, they heard that there was an accident in the experiment of the gunpowder group, and there was a big explosion in the test plant, and there were heavy casualties.

However, the dozen or so assistants who participated in the experiment were killed and injured heavily.

Then they had to run back and forth to comfort the families of the deceased, negotiate compensation and so on.

When all kinds of messy things are not over all year round, the current administrative director of the Royal Institute of Technology, the former director of the academic affairs office of Guozijian University, is a high-ranking official of Zhengsanpin before the age of forty.

But this person was transferred from Guozijian University to the Royal Institute of Technology for half a year, and his hair began to turn white, and his face was haggard like a middle-aged man who had failed miserably in his divorce career.

The Royal Institute of Technology is too special and strange in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to be the director of the administrative department in this kind of place!

However, there is also a good thing about serving in this place, that is, it is easy to show your face in front of the saint, and when you show your face, it is often when there are good things.

For example, now, Li Xuan has received a letter from the Royal Institute of Technology, which is naturally submitted by the director of the administrative department, in addition to daily greetings, he also routinely reports the progress of some important projects.

If it is an excerpt of the daily affairs of other departments that have a report on daily affairs at two ends in three days, Li Xuan will at most glance at the title, and then often directly look at the review opinions of the ministers on duty in the imperial study and walking, and then look at the review opinions of the Hanlin Academy, and in most cases, he will directly give instructions 'I know' and 'read'.

But the excerpts of the Royal Institute of Technology, he usually looks at them in detail!

The beginning part of the cookie-cutter greetings, Li Xuan directly skipped it, and then the middle part is the progress of several major projects, steam engines, artillery or something, all of which say that things are going well, but it is nonsense that has not been developed, and then look down, it means that several projects have been successfully developed.

A few others Li Xuan didn't pay attention to, but there was a small thing that caught his attention, that is, the chemical group successfully synthesized sulfuric acid with large-capacity glassware in the experiment, and said that this method was simple to operate and suitable for mass production of sulfuric acid!

Maybe even the person who wrote this excerpt didn't know how important sulfuric acid was, let alone how important it was to produce sulfuric acid on a large scale in industry, but Li Xuan did.

This sulfuric acid is one of the three acids and two alkalis, and one of the foundations of the chemical industry!
