Mr. Dean and Professor Bedley looked at Bill with anticipation, and the reason for the mutation of miners and the method of safe mining of coal nuclear was the only basis for Bill to cooperate with the Institute.

Bill signed his name on the contract and pressed his handprint to collect his share.

"In the caves of the coal mines, there is a lot of smog that is invisible to the naked eye, and once it touches the skin, it burrows into the miners' bodies, and when they breathe, they are also inhaled into the lungs and have an impact on living things. ”

"Although there will be new haze at the moment when the coal core opens, as long as the haze can be completely blocked from entering the body, there will be no mutation. ”

"So the way to safely mine coal cores is very simple, as long as you make an airtight protective suit, I think this should be a breeze for the research institute. ”

As he spoke, Bill picked up an ink pen and drew on a piece of white paper a humanoid protective suit surrounded by iron sheets, with his face covered by glass, and his five fingers were rubber gloves protected by iron nets, which were similar to space suits.

Behind the humanoid suit there is also an oxygen tank, which is attached to the suit.

"As for the miners' breathing problems, I actually have two solutions, which is to filter the toxic haze through gas masks or carry my own oxygen tank without exchanging gas with the outside. ”

"However, I haven't done experiments, and I don't know if gas masks can actually filter smog and purify the air into harmless gases, so I recommend that you first develop gas exchange bottles that can be carried by miners into deep mines. ”

"The downside of this approach is that miners may not be able to work underground for long periods of time, and the usefulness of gas masks needs to be verified. ”

Professor Bedley took the drawings and pondered them carefully, thinking that the solution given by Bill was worth trying, after all, this method was much more reliable than waiting for the biome to try out the drug a little bit.

Moreover, it is also better than the scheme of mining coal cores with a robotic arm given by the mechanical group, which has promotion value.

"I'm sorry Mr. Cliff, we know we can produce oxygen tanks, but what are you talking about gas masks?"

They knew about the oxygen tank used for diving operations, which had been invented by foreigners decades ago, but the gas mask had never been heard of.

After all, the gas mask in Bill's mouth was something that was developed after the outbreak of the world war in his world, and the world has not yet broken out in the world, and many weapons and corresponding countermeasures have not begun to be researched.

"A kind of protective gear that was born with the killing of chemical weapons and mainly protects the respiratory tract of individuals against poison gas, generally consists of a mask, a trachea and a poison filter canister, which can play a relatively important role in protecting the personal respiratory system. ”

"If my hunch is correct, one day the world will break out into a war on an unprecedented scale, and the Norman army will be able to use it. ”

"The terms of the contract are very clear, if you really need to deal with the enemy country quickly one day, then I also hope to get my share of the reward. ”

Bill explained slowly, taking another sip of herbal tea from his teacup, and the dean asked Professor Beddory with a look of relief, receiving a nod of approval from him.

"Mr. Cliff, during this time, we will focus on developing this technology and putting it into coal mining as soon as possible to verify the feasibility of this approach. ”

Professor Bedoli stood up and shook hands with Bill, and although they got the information they wanted from Bill, the truth needed to be further confirmed, but at least they had a clear direction to work towards.

The brief meeting ended quickly, and Bill got up to leave, though he was eager to take a tour of the institute's laboratory, but the dean's intention was clear.

He hadn't been trusted by the research until the coal core was settled, and the research had the wisdom to not ask Bill how he escaped the fate of the mutation in the underground mines, which was wordless respect.

The dim gas lamp illuminates the office, and the fragrant tea is all cold, and the stretched tea leaves float and heavily, dyeing the walls of the teacups dark yellow.

After several days of running around and the depletion of brain cells in front of the research institute, Bill felt a fever in his forehead, and he walked out of the office door in a daze, and suddenly remembered something in the farewell of Professor Beddory and Mr. Dean.

"By the way, Mr. Dean, is it up to you to hear the application for technology monopoly and give the scope and power of the monopoly?"

"Is that so, Mr. Cliff, is there anything you can do to help you?"

Curious, Mr. Dean walked to the top of the staircase, where the wooden floor creaked.

Only the dean's office was lit on the top floor of the empty office building, and the depths of the corridor seemed to be a complex tunnel of incomparably darkness, and Bill seemed to see something in the darkness watching him.

He rubbed his eyes, and the thing was gone.

“...... Sir, Mr. Cliff?"

The dean called out to the young man who was a little stunned, and Bill suddenly came back to his senses when he saw his old hand swaying in front of him.

"Mr. Dean, where did we just go?"

"You just asked us about the protection of technology monopolies, and this matter is indeed the responsibility of the research institute, and all application reports will be sent to the research institute for classification and then distributed to different technical departments for consideration. ”

Mr. Dean was more than willing to answer Bill's confusion, saying that he did not care about anything other than the Institute's interests, including continuing to use innocent miners to experiment with safe coal mining.

"Then I would like to ask, who is responsible for the report on the technology monopoly application in terms of vehicles, and why the technology monopoly application I submitted a week ago has not been approved until today?"

The dean's and Professor Bedley's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Bill had questioned it.

"Mr. Cliff, I am the head of the entire physical machinery group, and it may be that there are too many people applying for monopoly in recent times, resulting in low work efficiency. ”

"Which technology monopoly is the one you applied for, otherwise I'll go back and urge you, young people now don't know how to hurry up......

Professor Bedoli shook his mustache and began to complain about his subordinates.

"Humans control two-wheeled vehicles autonomously, and just a week ago I submitted it to the review department, and they said that if it is fast, it can be ...... in three days"

"What? Wait, human control of two-wheeled vehicles is your idea?"

"I remember that the applicant's name was not a ......"

Professor Beddoli suddenly became agitated, his cloudy eyes widening and rounded, and he was very surprised to hear the news from Bill's mouth.

"Lao Wei is my friend, human autonomous control of two-wheeled vehicles is our two common ideas, I put forward the idea, Lao Wei turned it into reality......"

"So I filled in Lao Wei's name in the application form, and I shared the technology monopoly as a partner!"

"What's the problem!"

Bill held his forehead, and the increasingly intense vertigo sensation reached his brain, and he felt irritable and restless.

The headache was an old problem, and the hot body made him even breathe a little short, and he vaguely felt that the symptoms tonight were a little different from before, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Professor Beddory and Mr. Dean still can't get used to Bill, who changes his face faster than a flip book, and his emotional ups and downs are so strange that people can't figure out the pattern.

"No, no, Mr. Cliff, I don't have any intention of questioning you and your friends, and to be honest, I was blown away by this genius when I saw this design!"

"However, there is a reason why this application cannot be reviewed for the time being......"

"What is the reason?"

"Isn't the application report I wrote detailed enough, or do you look like the fat pigs in the government who only make money, and you must see the benefits before you can do anything!"

Suddenly interrupting Professor Beddoley's words, he banged on the white ash wall in anger, and the pain in his brain became more and more shaky, and Bill suddenly hit the wall!

Bang, bang, bang!

"Mr. Cliff, what are you doing here, Professor Bedoli didn't say that, please calm down......"

Mr. Dean hurriedly grabbed Bill, and Professor Bedley and I slowly swung my hands at Bill, trying to calm the suddenly agitated man.

Although he is a psychopath, Professor Bedoli also admits that Bill has some scientific brains, and it would be a pity to hurt himself like this and then make himself stupid......

"Mr. Cliff, it's not for the reason you just mentioned, it's just that other companies have submitted a similar application for the design of the human-self-controlled two-wheeler developed by you and Mr. Lao Wei. ”

"So during this time, we are judging whether the two applications are exactly the same application, whose design concept is more elaborate and complex, and if the design is more than 80% repeated, we have to give a response to the application according to the order of priority. ”

"After all, according to international standards, if two identical designs apply for monopoly separately, we can only hand over the technology monopoly rights to the party that files the application first. ”

"It's so unfair to write about the world, even if you apply a day slower than the other party, the distribution of the right to this technology monopoly will only follow the first-come, first-served principle. ”

Professor Bedley was quick to state the reason why the Physics and Mechanics Group had not been approved, hoping that his explanation would calm Bill down.

After the professor explained the reason, Bill did calm down quickly, but it was a sudden calm, as if it was not him who had just hit his head against the wall.

"Which company are you talking about that has submitted a similar application to me?"

A cold voice came out of the mouth of an indifferent person, and Bill didn't believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world.

All accidents are inevitable, and the finished product of the human self-control two-wheeled vehicle designed by Lao Wei must have been seen by people with ulterior motives.

"I remember it was Brittus's well-known car manufacturing company, which had just held a steam engine show in the city a few weeks ago......"

His gaze was instantly overcast, and even Mr. Dean and Professor Beddoli shuddered when they made eye contact with Bill.

"May I ask Professor Bedoli, which document was sent here first, my monopoly application or the monopoly application of the automobile manufacturing company?"

"This ...... It is also a difficult problem we are facing now, the trial system for technology monopoly is still newly established, so we don't know who applied first, so we have not given an answer. ”

Professor Beddoli was also embarrassed by Bill's constant questions, after all, it is common for similar design drawings to appear in the era of rapid technological development.

However, there are usually no two designs at the same time, and if it is a difference of one day, it is easy to distinguish the order.

Now the two design drawings and application reports only have the numbers written down by the acceptor at that time, and the two applications are accepted by different recipients, so the institute is now unable to determine who is the first to apply for the technology monopoly.

"I see. ”

"Although there are some troubles, I will find a way to solve this problem on my own, and let them voluntarily give up the application for a technological monopoly on human control of two-wheeled vehicles. ”

After saying that, Bill fell down the stairs, his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, his eyes depressed as if he had lost sleep for two months, and his gloomy back made Mr. Dean swallow his saliva.

The Adam's apple slid and trembled, Bill's footsteps echoed through the spiral stairwell, and Mr. Dean's nerves slowly relaxed and relaxed as he drifted away......

"Whew-"

"What a difficult fellow, I really didn't know that Cliff, who was so young and didn't have any higher education foundation, could come up with an idea that even the scientists of the institute could think of. ”

The dean let out a sigh of relief, and then he felt the sweat slip from his head at some point.

"But it's also a good thing for us, at least he's a Norman, and it's a blessing that he didn't help a foreign power. ”

The professor and the dean laughed, laughing with embarrassment.

Just as they turned around and returned to the dean's office to discuss the follow-up details, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the dean's office.

This time it was none other than Dr. Brigg, who had been waiting for a long time, and his face was full of dissatisfaction, and his already unkind face was even more resentful.

Since the last time Dr. Brigg and Professor Bedley visited Bill's home together, he had been kicked out of the core team for the development of coal cores.

It's like having three people living in the same bedroom, and suddenly one day two of them secretly set up a group chat, and Brigg becomes an isolated third person.

Mr. Dean sighed again when he saw Dr. Brigg and invited him in.

"Dr. Brigg, what are you doing with me?"

"Mr. Dean, Professor Bedoli, I take the liberty of interrupting the conversation between the two of you at this time. ”

"Actually, I saw that Mr. Cliff had just come to the institute, and I wanted to ask you two about the development of coal nuclear safety mining technology, is there anything I can help with?"

"After all, I have been in contact with coal for a long time, and I believe that I will be able to put forward constructive opinions......

Dr. Brigg pushed his black-rimmed glasses, which reflected two bands of light in the yellow light, and he confidently recommended himself in the hope of regaining face in front of the dean.

"Hehe, Dr. Brigg, you don't have to worry about coal mining in the future, we have already obtained the method from Mr. Cliff, you just keep silent in the future!"

"After all, compared to the biomedical engineering group, which can never produce results, the method of safely mining coal cores in large quantities still needs to be solved by physical methods!"

Professor Bedoli inevitably said that it was easier for them to develop something of practical value than the biomedical group.

What he didn't see, however, was that Dr. Brigg quietly clenched his fists as he taunted him, and looked back at Mr. Dean, expecting his reply.

Mr. Dean frowned and spoke slowly.

"I'm very sorry, Dr. Brigg, but I support Professor Beddory's point of view. ”

"Don't get involved in this anymore, I've left this matter to the Physics and Mechanics Division, and your experiments at Jikrancy will be terminated......"
