Chapter 502 Patents
Chi Chuan leaned down behind Jin Zhu, looked at the mecha on the stage, and whispered in Jin Zhu's ear, "If you look closely at their wheels, they are actually very different from ours. ”
Jin Zhu looks at it, it is true, the wheels of this mecha are very thick, just like the wheels of a big truck in real life.
But it's not like a truck wheel, it's just an enlarged version of a tire.
Jin Zhu observed that its inner tube part is still the same as ordinary wheels, but there are small wheels wrapped around the periphery.
The biggest difference between their mecha and the first-place mecha is the wheels on the periphery.
Their outermost small wheels have a total of three columns side by side, enclosing the perimeter of the larger wheels, and the middle wheel is elliptical in cross-section and elongated in diameter.
The two sides are cylindrical, each only one-third the length of the middle wheel.
The direction of movement of these small wheels, which are closely arranged on the periphery, is perpendicular to that of the large wheels.
Chi Chuanye explained to Jin Zhu that this kind of wheel is called omnidirectional wheel, and the big wheel inside is called the hub, which is the main support of the whole wheel.
The drum mounted on the hub is called a roller, and the two move in different directions, so the operator can control the longitudinal or horizontal movement of the mecha through commands.
The sharp turn just now also relied on the rollers of these outer rings.
Jin Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at the first mecha, the difference is that the rollers arranged around the wheels are not perpendicular to the direction of movement of the wheels, but show an angle of 45 degrees.
Compared with the omnidirectional wheel, there is a feeling of uncertainty.
Chi Chuanye said mysteriously.
"The first place is called the Mecanum wheel, which is tilted at a 45-degree angle between the hub and the roller, which makes it more flexible to move."
As for the effect, Jin Zhu has already seen it just now.
"Then why don't we use wheels like that?"
Speaking of this, Chi Chuanye couldn't help but sigh, "Because the patent is not in our hands, we have not obtained the right to use it, not only us, but also any mecha club in China." ”
Jin Zhu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Why?" Is their boss so stingy? ”
Chi Chuanye said a little helplessly, "Actually, it's not to blame people for being stingy. ”
"After all, in the previous few domestic industries, it has not been large-scale, it is a small fight, and people have such a good technology, of course, they will not easily sell patents to us, and they are afraid of being ruined."
Hearing this, of course, Jin Zhu was unhappy, but it was not the first time she had encountered such a thing.
After all, the patent is in the hands of others, and no one has the right to force him.
Looking back at Chi Shiyi on the stage, Jin Zhu felt that something was related.
According to Chi Shiyi's good control technology, coupled with Qi Song's almost perfect programming, he could have achieved better results.
Suddenly fell to the sixth place, and this is another points accumulation competition, this first game fell so many points, it will take a lot of effort to catch up.
When Jin Zhu was lost, the award ceremony was over, and the host emphasized the rules again, and everyone left.
The next two competitions will be held tomorrow, and now the members of the clubs in each group have begun to pack their things and prepare to go back.
Jin Zhu and Chi Chuanye were walking back, and Chi Chuanye said suddenly halfway through.
"You go back with Xie Yuan and them first, I have something to deal with."
Jin Zhu nodded and left Jin obediently, on the way back with Xie Yuan, she had been sullen.
Xie Yuan drove the car and didn't say much, Chi Shiyi sensed that something was wrong and came up from the back seat.
"Sister Jin Zhu, are you sad because of the results of the competition just now?"
Hearing him say this, Jin Zhu suddenly reacted.
She also knew just now that she had to do a good job in expression management, and she said that she wouldn't add psychological pressure to Chi Shiyi, why did she forget it all now.
She hurriedly said, "Oh no, you've done a good job." ”
Jin Zhu was stuck when she said this, and she didn't know what other words of comfort she could say next.
She is not good at lying, and she seems a little embarrassed when she talks too much.
Unexpectedly, Chi Shiyi happily sat back in his seat, "I think so too." ”
It's a little blindfolded.,This doesn't seem to be the same as the usual plot.。
Xie Yuan took over the conversation and continued, "Yes, without the Mecanum Wheel, it is already very good to be able to run such a result, at least there are four worse than us." ”
Speaking of this, the carload of people laughed except for Jin Zhu.
Jin Zhu deliberately observed their wheels, although they were different from the wheels of the first place.
But she asked Chi Chuanye, which is also a type of Mecanum wheel, but the tilt angle is not the standard 45 degrees.
But they have already obtained the patent, the grip will be stronger, it stands to reason that the mecha will run faster, and there will be no problem with turning or something, but they are still defeated by Chi Shiyi's men.
After laughing, Xie Yuan began to worry again, "I just hope that Chi Chuanye can get the patent back this time." ”
It's a good thing, they found it early on, but if they don't have a patent, they can't use this technology at all, so the competition is very disadvantaged.
Back at the hotel, Jin Zhu still looked puzzled, and the team members were all collecting their mecha to adjust the parameters.
Jin Zhu sat in front of the window, looking at this strange city, and scolded the unfriendly boss in his heart.
Xie Yuan took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Jin Zhu, "Are you still thinking about patents?" ”
Jin Zhu didn't answer, but said stiffly, "Can't we use his patent?" Invent one yourself, and let others grab our patents when the time comes. ”
Xie Yuan knew that Jin Zhu had always had a strong temper, and it was not her personality to be restricted by the patent.
He pretended to be seriously thinking and said, "It can be, Chi Shiyi is already doing research, but he still has to test a few more times." ”
Jin Zhu was very satisfied when he heard this answer, and turned around proudly, "Let them see who is more powerful when the time comes." ”
Xie Yuan nodded and echoed, "That's right, like you, I also believe in Chi Shiyi's level, but now there is a problem." ”
Jin Zhu turned his head to look at Xie Yuan.
"What about the game in front of us? I'm afraid we can't wait anymore and need to change wheels. ”
Jin Zhu was speechless for a while, and she forgot about it.
Xie Yuan patted the girl's shoulder.
"Don't worry, the boss of that patent is not a bad person, he just wants to protect his invention, and you have to believe that Chi Chuanye has the ability to convince him."
Jin Zhu didn't react a little, what the other party said, and Xie Yuan's eyes were full of affirmation.
In the café on the other side, Chi Chuanye has successfully made an appointment with the current owner of the Mecanum Wheel patent, Troy.
"Hello Mr. Troy, I'm Chi Chuanye, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Just call me Troy, and I'm glad to meet you."
Sitting opposite Chi Chuanye was a young man dressed in high-end casual clothes, and the information showed that he was only twenty-five years old.
But he holds most of the patents for mecha raw materials, and now, he also has the strongest mecha development team in the world.
"I've seen your performance on the field, it's outstanding, it's the first time I've seen such a good team that can use the universal wheel."
As soon as he came up, Troy did not hesitate to praise Chi Chuanye's mecha club.
"You've won the award, and the main purpose of coming to you this time is to talk about the patent of the Mecanum Wheel, and I hope you can license it to our club."
Chi Chuanye went straight to the point, "Of course, we will also be responsible for all matters related to this patent in China." ”
This is what every authorized club should do.
"Oh, so soon to talk about patents? I thought we'd have to chat for a while. ”
Troy was joking.
"Mr. Chi, you should know very well that I have no plans to license the patent to any club in China for the time being, and you should know the reason."
Since Chi Chuanye is so straightforward, of course Troy will not hide it.
"I know that Huaguo is a country with great potential, and the mecha project believes that it will rise in this land in the near future, but not now."
Chi Chuanye seemed to have expected him to say this.
"You have a point, but it's on the rise, and I believe that with your patent technology, it can rise faster, wouldn't you want to help a bunch of growing children?"
Troy didn't expect to fall into the trap so quickly, and he laughed.
If he doesn't agree, wouldn't it be a bit stingy?
"Mr. Chi, what you said is really interesting, if Huaguo is really a child, then we will naturally help, but the biggest problem now is that we don't know yet, will it eventually grow into a child or a lion?"
Chi Chuanye smiled indifferently, he knew that the lion here was not a compliment, it was just a face-to-face negotiation with Troy to make it more beautiful.
In fact, what Troy wanted to express was that he was not at ease, and he was worried that the patent would be abused after it was applied to China, so he refused to approve it.
Chi Chuanye was not in a hurry, "Mr. Troy, as far as I know, it seems that you have never been to Huaguo. ”
Troy raised his hands upwards to express helplessness, "There's really no way, it's too busy." ”
Chi Chuanye didn't mind, "It's natural that a club as big as yours has a heavy business, but I just want to remind you that the current situation of mecha in China is very different from what you know before." ”
He knew early on that most of what Troy had learned about China was only through the news.
"Because you don't know much, you may not be completely clear about what the mecha market in China is like now, and naturally you can't tell whether he can grow into a child or a hero."
