In the conference hall of the Solar Furnace Research Building.

Scientific researchers from all walks of life brainstormed to find a solution to this difficult problem.

After Wang Jiuliang pondered for a long time, he said: "If the semiconductor parts of the 14mm process are replaced, the manufacture of the solar furnace can actually be completed. ”

At this point, he paused before continuing: "However, this is the previous generation of semiconductor technology. If it is to be replaced, the design drawings of the miniaturized solar furnace need to be modified, and the original planned volume will not be reached, and the final solar furnace volume may be increased by about 30%. ”

Fang Zhenguo listened carefully and muttered: "The headquarters means to try to complete the assembly of the solar furnace of the nuclear fusion power carrier within the planned time.

"The solar furnace is larger and more acceptable, and I went to see the power compartment of the fusion power carrier, and the space was reserved for a larger space than planned.

"Even if the size of the solar furnace is too large, you can try to modify the power compartment of the mothership, and these problems can be overcome.

"Are there any other challenges in the manufacture of solar furnaces other than semiconductor parts?"

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology said loudly: "Semiconductor parts are only a hardware problem, and there may be a software problem that is difficult to solve.

"If the White Eagle Kingdom must block the technical authorization, the EDA system may not be able to be used, in that case, it is necessary to find a replacement for the EDA system."

The hardware can be replaced by products with the previous generation process, but the disadvantage is that the manufactured semiconductor parts are larger in size and consume more power.

However, the power consumption of semiconductor components is not worth mentioning for the energy engine of the solar furnace, which can allow humans to fly to the stars.

Therefore, hardware problems can be overcome, and software problems are more troublesome.

Moreover, the solar furnace R&D team has always used the original EDA system, and even if a new replacement can be found, many underlying designs need to be pushed and restarted.

This is very fatal for the development of solar furnaces, and it may take several years to start over.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhenguo asked everyone present: "Everyone brainstorms and thinks about how to overcome the problems they are facing today. ”

This incident was caused by White Eagle's decision to sanction Dongdu Technology.

Therefore, the person in charge of Dongdu Technology knows best where the difficulties are, and has also thought about various countermeasures.

He stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "For now, there are several solutions to the problem. The first is to apply to the Planetary Defense Council for mandatory authorization.

"White Eagle wants to ban patent licensing and block the use of our company's hardware and software. On the premise of respecting patent law, it is difficult to circumvent this blockade.

"The only possibility is to apply to the Planetary Defense Council for compulsory authorization. If the application is approved, the relevant patent can be used directly. But doing so would break the rules of patent law around the world and could leave hidden dangers. ”

Da Liu pushed his glasses and said very indignantly: "Has White Eagle ever respected the patent law?" I heard that you had a lawsuit with a White Eagle company last year, is there such a thing? The result? ”

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology spread his hands helplessly: "There is indeed such a thing, our company has many patents in communication technology, and a White Eagle company did not pay patent royalties, and it did fight a lawsuit." However, we lost the case. ”

"Go across the Pacific Ocean to the White Eagle to fight a lawsuit, and if you want to win, you have to get a miracle." Fang Zhenguo slammed the table, obviously indignant.

"If they don't pay for our patents, why can't we use their patents? Regardless of them, use them directly. Eve snorted angrily.

"This matter has become a classic debate about whether a dog bites a man or not, and it is not easy to do." Fang Yuan spread his hands and commented.

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology shook his head and said: "This approach doesn't work, a certain White Eagle company doesn't give patent fees, strictly speaking, it's that company's problem." We can't do the same thing to other White Eagle companies, and companies that own semiconductor-related patents don't owe our company royalties, so it stands to reason that we need to respect each other's patents. ”

"Then you can only apply to the Planetary Defense Council for compulsory authorization." Eve thought it would work.

Fang Zhenguo shook his head and said, "You can try, but it's unlikely to succeed." Of the six members of the Planetary Defense Council, the White Eagle plus three followers occupy four seats. Basically, there is no chance of getting an application. ”

The people present are all scientific research workers, who have devoted their lives to scientific research, and are not good at the style of politicians.

So, most of them are looking for solutions to problems from the technical side.

In addition to scientific researchers, the theater headquarters is also actively looking for solutions.

There are many ways to solve a problem.

Researchers are thinking about technical solutions, but in fact, sometimes the matter is not a technical problem at all.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhenguo said: "If you can't get around it technically, you can solve the problem through negotiation." Don't worry too much, the headquarters will figure it out. ”

"What can be done at headquarters?" Wang Jiuliang asked.

"Our representatives of the Planetary Defense Council are trying to communicate with the representatives of the White Eagle side, and if it can be resolved through negotiations, we will be patient for the time being, and get the solar furnace out first." Fang Zhenguo said this, but he was actually very unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to press the politicians of the White Eagle to the ground and step on them a few times.

However, now is not the time to tear the skin, the key is to get the solar furnace out first, as long as the solar furnace is built and assembled on the nuclear fusion power carrier, then the confidence will be enough.

In addition to Fang Zhenguo, the theater headquarters also sent another person in charge, who took over the topic and said: "There was news from the headquarters just now, and our representatives communicated with the representatives of the White Eagle side and had a preliminary understanding of the requirements of the White Eagle side.

"The White Eagle Party insists on sanctioning Dongdu Technology, but it can separately authorize the R&D project of the solar furnace, and all the hardware and software related to the R&D project of the solar furnace can be authorized to be used."

Wang Jiuliang's eyes lit up when he heard that things were turning around.

He has spent his life researching controlled nuclear fusion technology, and is on the verge of successfully building a solar furnace to be assembled on a fusion power carrier.

Naturally, I hope to accomplish this goal as soon as possible.

"However, the White Eagle side has made a request." The person in charge sent by the headquarters added.

"What requirements?" Wang Jiuliang hurriedly asked.

"White Eagle is on the condition of sharing relevant semiconductor patents to invest in solar furnace R&D projects."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately looked at each other.
