The patent examination ended in a clamour.

As Gladys prepared to leave with the technicians in disgrace......

An engineer ran back to Sun Changfeng after gritting his teeth and said:

"Please consider hiring me!"

"Salary can be negotiated, and I can even do without any salary!"

"But please give me and the chief engineer a chance to work together!"

"He's a genius!"

"It's the modern-day Einstein!"

This evaluation is ridiculously high.

And his demands were so low that they could almost be called prostitution.

A senior engineer in lithography technology, that is invaluable.

If it were the past, Sun Changfeng would of course do everything he could.

But at this moment, Sun Changfeng shook his head lightly:

"We don't need talent for the time being."

"If you want, you can submit your resume to our company."

He had wanted to say this for a long time.

Do you have times when you reject others?

Sun Changfeng was cool again.

In the past few years, it can be said that he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother. But what really came was some white bastards, and a group of old six spent a lot of money, but it didn't make any difference.

Now that the Dragon Kingdom is standing on the commanding heights of technology, isn't it fragrant that the money is used to cultivate talents?

"Fuck those bastards out of the way tomorrow!"

Although the engineer who is looking for a job is obviously sincere, in order to keep the real secret of the lithography machine, in order to keep the secret of the traverser......

From this moment on, Sun Changfeng will not accept any foreign engineers until they have truly cultivated their own talents!

While Sun Changfeng was thinking this, the engineer who had surrendered to Cheng could only leave under Gladys' angry and indignant gaze.

And the moment the car of the patent investigation team disappeared from sight......

Wow!

In the laboratory, which had remained quiet, there was a sudden burst of cheers that were enough to lift off the roof!

The experimenters and engineers roared as hard as they could, until tears welled up in their eyes.

More than ten years of repression, more than ten years of being restricted, that kind of taste, only they know the sadness in it......

At this time, when those patent dealers leave here, their future will be extremely bright!

The roar at this time......

It's as if you want to declare the world ......

From this moment on, the chip industry of Longguo is rising from the ground!

……

……

The other side.

Twist the contract.

Lewis, who hadn't slept all night, finally received a call from the patent examiner.

"Gladys, how's it going?"

As soon as he connected, Lewis couldn't wait to ask.

"Have they been discontinued?"

However, on the other side of the phone, Gladys's tone was very depressed:

"No, sir."

"None? Isn't your patent examination over? ”

"No, it's over...... However, there is no infringement of the other party's technology. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, Lewis was stunned.

"No infringement?"

"How is that possible?"

Gladys explains:

"According to the engineer......"

"Their technology has completely surpassed the technology we have now......"

"There are no patent loopholes at all."

Lewis fell silent.

This silence is a long time.

"Okay."

It was a long time before he spat out the word, and then cut off contact.

When he hung up, his face turned very pale.

"I see......"

"No wonder they don't care about patent prosecution at all, no wonder they dare to make 2nm lithography technology public......"

"Because I already have a bottom in my heart?"

Although Lewis can make some amplification in patent examination, there is no way to put this kind of thing on the table out of nothing.

Just as Sun Changfeng thought when he made the strategy......

"Patents" are a high wall built by Western capital.

It is impossible for them to undermine these foundations that sustain the world of capital.

But after accepting this fact, Lewis became clearer......

The counterattack from Kaitian Technology will really come.

Moreover, the competition in the chip industry will be extremely fierce in the future, and they may not be able to share profits from it at all.

Everyone knows what the dragon kingdom is going to do when they master the technology.

That's a real capital nightmare.

And that's not all......

What really matters most is that they really lose the qualification to continue competing for the new communication technology rule-making.

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh.

And Lewis couldn't figure it out, and his brain was filled with endless confusion.

"How did you develop a new generation of lithography machines?"

“……”

"Did it really fall from the sky?"

He was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and thought to himself, how could it be possible?

can only explain to himself, this is the level of secrecy of the Dragon Kingdom is too high......

However, Lewis is also a giant of a business empire.

In the face of such a blow, his brain did not work like a failure.

He was thinking about how to stop the loss, and if there was another way to get a piece of the pie.

At this moment, another thing immediately remembered in his brain.

"Prophecy ......"

"Prophecy?"

His eyes, which were originally slightly confused, immediately became sharp.

"Oliel, help me find all the circumstances related to that prophecy!"

"I want to know everything that's been going on in the Dragon Kingdom lately!"

……

……

The other side.

The point in time where Lu Yun is located.

August 5, 2022 at 8:30.

At this time, he didn't know that he was even being targeted by overseas forces.

But of course, it doesn't matter if you're eyed.

There are 1.4 billion people staring at him, and three or two more are just sprinkling water.

Lu Yun, who had just woken up, was sitting in front of the computer with his brows furrowed and worried.

The countdown in front of me was still beating like a ghost, second by second.

[Life Remaining: 267:13:11].

[Mission time remaining: 472:05:04].

He had to do everything in his power to solve the bride price problem...... If you can't complete this task in the next 11 days, I don't have to worry about anything else.

However, the more urgent the moment, the more difficult it will be.

Originally, Lu Yun's plan was to find an unjust emperor to replace the dead ghost, and use his hand to completely eliminate the bride price custom of a certain period.

But......

Combined with the current historical data of the bride price......

This solution has been lost.

I have only one piece of the Holy Decree.

But just an unjust emperor doesn't seem to be able to solve this problem.

On the computer screen, an ancient rubbish is displayed.

Book –

Hongwu's five-year edict said: The ancient wedding, the joy of two surnames, to value people. In modern times, he has been talking about hiring money and dyeing luxury. Its ritual was promulgated. Be thrifty and be generous with customs.

Looking at this meaning, Zhu Yuanzhang once issued a decree prohibiting what is now called "sky-high bride price".

According to the records in the wild history, there were even ministers who were raided for collecting 6,000 taels of silver.

Regardless of whether this wild history is true or false, it can always reflect that some bride price was indeed suppressed in the early Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that the bride price is prevalent in various places, and even some places have gradually become a trend of comparison......

From this point of view, this situation has nothing to do with any divine decree at all.

In the end, it is desire that plays a large part in this.

"It's hard......"

Lu Yun frowned, and the several plans he had at his head didn't look very reliable.

He focused his gaze on the notebook next to the computer.

In the notebook, the relevant records of the bride price weddings of the past dynasties are densely recorded.

This is all copied by Lu Yun from the Internet and the history books of various dynasties.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, this custom has continued to modern times.

"It looks like the only way to do it is stupid."

Lu Yun thought in his mind:

"The first repair timeline and the second repair timeline are both related to individual individuals or individuals."

"But this time, it's about changing the subconscious of the group."

"The disadvantages of the sky-high bride price are not at all a decree or a change in someone."

He picked up his pen and thought about it as he clicked on the table.

"Then this stupid method seems to be the only way."

"To solve this problem at the root, what I have to do is start with the basic idea."

Thinking about it like this, combined with all the information recorded in this notebook right now......

Lu Yun also determined the direction of this trip.

He took a deep breath and wrote two extremely eye-catching characters in the blank space of the notebook-

Datang!
