Chapter 191 The Heavenly Delicate Daughter of the Rage Family (Three in One)
The construction of the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company is in full swing.
The follow-up patents for portable lights were also successfully registered. Based on earth-related products, Duke has registered a large number of patents for similar products such as headlights, miner's lamps, searchlights, fill lights, and table lamps, as well as technical patents split from the R&D department.
Such as brightness knob, rotating dimming lens, series lamp heads and so on.
Build a patent barrier for portable light products in every detail to prevent other companies from infringing.
In the Seven Towers Federation, the protection of patent rights is quite in place. The arcane mages advocate the principle that "knowledge is a valuable asset, and knowledge needs to be paid". They despise infringements and punish them severely.
But at the same time, the Seven Towers Federation also prohibits patent monopoly, and has a clear definition of fees for any patent.
As long as others are willing to pay, the patent can be used without the consent of the patent holder.
So building patent barriers is the best way to prevent patents from being used by others. After all, this series of patent fees is not cheap.
In short.
These patents are all registered in Duke’s personal name, and then authorized to the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company, which is also a kind of insurance for him to control the company.
No matter how many patents he invents in the future, he will register in his personal name instead of in the name of a company.
"My lord, according to your instructions, the biggest technical problem is the size of the interface of the card machine." The designer of the R&D department put forward a demand during the tour of Duke, "Unless the size of the storage card is changed, the interface of the card machine cannot be reduced."
"I've considered this issue and I'm studying it," Duke said.
Xiaoyi has added a new process under his orders, which is to study the built-in technology of the bendable 1-ring storage card.
Lingka bending technology has already appeared.
So the bendable 1-ring spiritual storage card can be customized directly from the joint card shop. What he wants to study is the technology of building this curved spiritual storage card into the portable lamp.
In this way, when consumers use it, they only need to use another storage card to charge the built-in storage card of the portable lamp.
Equivalent to rechargeable flashlights on earth.
This technique is also very simple, with almost no difficulty, but no one has thought of it before. After all, the spirit storage card is so convenient, plug and play, there is no need to add a charging function to the spirit weapon.
That is to say, the portable lamp is too small to insert the storage card, so this slightly tasteless built-in charging technology is needed.
"However, although the technology is weak, with the emergence of more miniaturized products in the future, it may really shine!" Duke thought in his heart.
The industrial development of the Seven Towers Federation is still in a "big" stage.
All kinds of civilian spirit weapons are very large, and it is very convenient to install the card machine interface. The spirit storage card is enough to handle most of the spirit weapons.
But always transition to the "small" stage.
This is the time for the built-in storage card technology to show its grand plans.
"Mr. Vuillard." Duke called the general manager of the company and Vivienne's father.
Vuillard did not rely on Vivienne's relationship, and put on a show in front of Duke, still with a respectful and humble attitude: "Sir, what are your orders?"
"In the name of the company, order a batch of bendable 1-ring Chuling cards from the United Card Store, and require that the bending range can be folded into a cylindrical shape."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
"After the bendable spirit card arrives, you send someone to the Penrose Mage Tower, and I won't come here for a while," Duke said.
"clear."
Because of starting a company, he has been delayed for a long time.
The research team in the Mage Tower is basically in the process of stocking up, and the research on spiritual magnetic waves and slide cards is also progressing slowly.
However, he is not in a hurry. At this stage, he still focuses on learning and accumulating knowledge.
He is only a level 1 arcane mage. Even if he develops communication and film and television technologies, it will probably be difficult to keep him, and he will be snatched away by others.
At that time, all I can get is probably the title of scholar and a small amount of patent payment.
There are also commercial wars between arcane mages, and most of them are unpretentious competitions of strength. This is also the reason why large companies have to hire so many consultants. At critical moments, patents and copyrights cannot stop the strife between companies.
"Although the Seven Towers Federation looks like a civilized society, its essence is still power supremacy." Duke is very clear about this.
Go back to Penrose Mage Tower.
Shan Feisi came over to visit: "I heard that you started a company, cool, I thought you had already listed all three places to save money."
“Invented a small thing, and felt that I could make more money by starting my own company, so I started it.”
"It's super cool!" Sanfis exclaimed, "What did you invent that you can start a company to produce it?"
"Pocket lamp, oh yes, I brought you a sample." Duke motioned for Murali to get a portable lamp.
These portable lights are not the final products of the assembly line, but several conceptual products polished by the R&D department.
"Sir." Mu Lali came over with a portable lamp.
Duke directly handed over the portable lamp to Sanfis: "Try it, and give me some opinions by the way, do you think it is worthwhile?"
"Portable lamp?" Shanfis pressed the button, and a beam of light shot out, "Well, it's very interesting, is this the spiritual wind lamp changed shape?"
"You can say that."
"The range of illumination is smaller than that of the spiritual wind lamp, but it is brighter. I think this improved method will be very effective. You know, sometimes when I use the spiritual wind lamp, I need to get close to it to illuminate clearly, and the portable lamp is not needed."
"Take it back and feel it slowly." Duke laughed.
Shanfis nodded, and didn't care much about the portable lamp. For arcanists, if they want to illuminate, they can release an arcane spell.
One-level arcane arts include candlelight and torch, which can provide lighting.
"If I hadn't already affiliated with three companies, I would have taken a share in your company." Sanfis said casually, "By the way, Duke, let your assistant stay away for a while, I have something private to tell you."
Mulali immediately got up and left the office upon hearing this.
Duke said, "Let's talk."
"You... how do you make cards? I mean Chuling cards. I have been learning for more than a year, but I haven't learned how to make cards yet!" Sanfis said with a bit of distress and frustration. Seeing that Duke has learned how to make cards, he still hasn't learned it. This feeling is very bitter.
"Uh, what, to be honest, I can't impart too much experience to you, because card making is more about feeling."
"Feel?"
"Yes, among the countless choices, you have to make the best choice. It is difficult to rely on subjective judgment to deal with it, so you need to rely on a little bit of instinct." Duke repeated the experience that Vikas had taught him before.
He believes this is a valuable lesson learned.
It just doesn't apply to him personally, because he doesn't need to make judgments, and it is Xiaoyi who makes judgments.
And Xiaoyi just doesn’t need to rely on subjective judgment, it can calculate tens of millions of times in a very short time, and choose the best choice.
Others make cards by feeling, while Duke makes cards by calculation.
After hearing this, Sanfis raised his head in despair, stared at the ceiling in a daze: "You also think it depends on your feelings, don't you?"
Duke was silent for a few seconds: "Yes."
Sanfis smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Assistant Leadman told me that I might not be suitable for studying card making."
Duke didn't know how to comfort him.
Sanfis continued: "I think it's time for me to make a choice."
"What choice?"
"I'm going to apply to end my studies in Penrose Mage Tower, and then apply to go to a new Mage Tower to study a new field." Sanfis sighed and said, "Actually, I like card making very much. The cost is the least and the money is the most. Unfortunately, I don't have this talent."
Duke thought for a while, and persuaded: "Maybe if you wait a little longer, you will be able to make the card successfully."
"Of course I understand. I'm not a fool. How could it take several years to make a bad card, but that's meaningless, and the efficiency is too low."
"All right."
"Phew, I've decided!" Sanfis clenched his fist, "When the tutor comes back, I'll apply to him for graduation!"
…
"Sanfis is leaving, alas, there are fewer people in the Penrose Mage Tower." Duke leaned on the back of the sofa chair, a little sentimental.
First, Roroya Snow Eagle was taken away because of the forbidden area.
Then Sanfis was not talented enough, so he chose to graduate and leave.
Now apart from the two assistants Vikas and Leadman, there are only four 1st-ring arcane mages, Blanc, Garba, Orianna and Duke.
Although there are not a few spiritual apprentices and knights, there are differences in their identities, making it difficult to communicate on an equal footing.
Sure enough, three days later in the morning, Sanfis announced that he had passed the approval of Penrose's mentor, and ended his advanced training in the Mage Tower ahead of schedule.
"Tonight, Shenjiao City Hotel, I treat you!"
"How can I let you treat me, we will treat you to this meal." Assistant Vikas put his arm around Sanfis's shoulder and said with a smile, "It is a farewell banquet for us to celebrate your successful graduation. I wish you great success in other mage towers in the future."
"It's graduation, not graduation, Vikas tutor." Sanfiz's nose was slightly pantothenic.
"it's the same."
Then Sanfis began to pack his belongings, and everyone continued their work without being immersed in the atmosphere of Sanfis leaving.
As soon as it came, the communication between the arcane masters was as pale as water.
Secondly, leaving after graduation is not a farewell to life and death. They are still in the same city, and they can meet whenever they want.
"Leadman and I are both unemployed after Sanfis leaves." Vikas joked to Duke.
Sanfis has been studying under the guidance of Leadman, and Duke is studying under the guidance of Vikas. Now Duke has been taught by Penrose tutor, so the two tutors have no teaching tasks.
As for the three of Blanke, they had already finished their studies and just stayed in the Mage Tower to work.
"Is the Mage Tower not recruiting newcomers?"
"Where can we find it? You are the only newly promoted arcanist in the past few years. If there are no new recruits, all the mage towers will have to starve." Vikas shrugged.
He added: "It's really fine for me to do research on Leadman, Bronke and the others, plus you are a talented newcomer."
Duke has seen clearly that all the resources of the Penrose Mage Tower revolve around Penrose.
Most of the topics were received by Penrose mentor from the outside, and then they were split out and assigned to several arcane masters to help with research.
A truly ambitious arcane mage, after learning the art of card making, will leave the mage tower to seek a new way out.
"Roroya and Sanfis are gone, can you be busy with the research topics assigned by the instructor?"
"It's just a little longer."
While talking, Assistant Vikas talked about Duke's new company: "Did you recruit Vuillard to be the general manager of the company?"
"Oh, that child of Vuillard, I really owe him a lot..." Vikas Daozhu showed a shameful expression on his face, "If the company needs it, I can register my name in the company. I don't need to pay me any compensation, just give Vial a little more shares."
"If necessary, of course the mentor is welcome to come to name it." Duke replied.
He didn't feel that Vikas was a mentor, he really felt that he owed his illegitimate son, and it felt more like Vikas was investing in Duke himself.
at this time.
Suddenly, there was a not very loud, but extremely clear bell from a distance.
um...
um...
um...
Three beeps in a row.
When the bell died down, Duke and Vikas looked at each other, and then both laughed.
"Tell Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Duke shook his head and laughed, "I just said that there are no newcomers who have been promoted in the past few years. Today, a newcomer is ringing the bell."
The sound of the bell is the ringing ceremony of Faling Pagoda.
"Very good." Assistant Vikas said, "The three arcane masters were killed before, causing heavy losses to Shenjiao City. Now there are newcomers promoted, which can make up for one or two. It's just that I don't know where the newcomers will apply for further training this time."
"Maybe they will come to our place."
"It's difficult. There are very few newcomers like you who first choose our Penrose Mage Tower. Most of them have to go to the three Mage Towers to try their luck. They will think about other Mage Towers when they can't meet them."
The Mage Tower of the 5-ring Arcane Mage Keston Raging Wave has no new recruiting plan for many years. The three 4-ring Arcane Mage Towers are the first choice for newcomers.
Duke said with a smile: "At the beginning, I relied on my good understanding and wanted to challenge the difficulty. Maybe this newcomer also had the same idea."
When I got off work in the evening, the news of the newly promoted Arcane Mage also came over.
"Wow, it turned out to be the female arcane mage of the Nutao family, Kylia Nutao, who is eighteen years old, young, oh young, only one year older than Duke!" Sanfiz's eyes were already shining, "It is said that he inherited the curly blond hair of the Nutao family, and she is a beautiful woman!"
"Don't think too much, Sanfis, you have worked so hard to pursue Joanna Lynx, you can imagine this girl from the sky of the Raging Family." Orianna hit her relentlessly, "Find a great knight, or a great emissary, and start a family."
"Sister Orianna, your words make my heart hurt." Sanfis clutched his chest and sat in his shuttle.
Duke and the others also took their own shuttles, and then set off for the Shenjiao City Hotel together.
As a consultant of the Shenjiao City Hotel, Duke eats and stays here for free, but treats are another charge—of course there are no arcanists who care about the cost of a meal, even ordinary arcanists like Sanfis are rich.
"Let's order first. The instructor said that he will come over immediately after the meeting in the Union Tower." Orianna greeted.
The arcane mages ate in the box, while the attendants and assistants had dinner in another box.
"Kilia Raging Wave, I really want to meet up soon." After Sanfis sat down, he still couldn't forget the new Arcanist.
"It's easy to meet. Find an excuse to go to Keystone Mage Tower, maybe you will meet."
"It may not be that Kylia will study in the Master Tower of Keyston. If it were me, I would not study in the Master Tower of the elders of the family."
"Yes, she is from the earl's family. Maybe she will go to Runwu City and worship in the mage tower of the arcane teacher." Orianna said.
In the entire Wind Breath field, there is only one 7-ring Arcane Mage.
Chatting and waiting for about half an hour, Mentor Penrose finally rushed over: "You eat first, why wait for me."
"Of course I have to wait for you, the tutor. By the way, what meeting did you have today, the tutor, and you got off work so late?" Oliana, relying on her female status, was more open in front of the tutor Penrose, and could ask some personal questions or family matters.
Mr. Penrose picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said casually: "The meeting is over early, Master Keyston left me to chat for a while."
As if inadvertently, Penrose said lightly: "There is a little girl in his family who will come to my mage tower for further training. Let me take care of it."
"Ah!" Orianna exclaimed, "Is it Kylia Rage?"
Duke et al. were equally surprised.
Shanfis widened his eyes even more, and said with regret: "Mentor, I... I suddenly don't want to give up so early, I want to go back and continue to study card making!"
"You all know it, oh yes, I forgot that there was a bell-ringing ceremony in the morning." Penrose said casually, "I respect Kylia's choice, and you shouldn't take it too seriously, just treat it as an ordinary newcomer like Duke... She may not be able to persist, and card making is not easy."
"Teacher, I want to continue my studies..." Sanfis begged.
Penrose ignored him at all, sipping his tea self-sufficiently.
Olianna quickly calmed down, and said to everyone with a smile: "What the teacher said is true, treat Kylia Rage with a normal heart, just like we treated Roroa Snow Eagle before, arcane mages of noble origin are just arcane mages, right?"
"That's right, don't always think about the identity of the other party." Garba immediately echoed.
Penrose glanced at Orianna and Galba, but said nothing, even though they both had families, getting too close was prone to accidents.
But it's none of his business.
"Let's eat." Penrose greeted, and only then looked at Sanfis, "After going out, carefully choose a new direction. Don't be too ambitious, but be down-to-earth. The instructor believes that you can succeed in the new field."
Shanfis asked bitterly: "Teacher, is there no room for discussion?"
Mentor Penrose turned his head away: "Eat, eat."
…
After a farewell banquet, Sanfiz officially bid farewell.
Although the appearance of Kylia Rage made Sanfis choose to repent, Mentor Penrose did not give him any room for repentance.
"Duke, when Kiria is having dinner with you, don't forget to call me. Although I leave, my heart will always stay here."
Drunk Sanfis hugs and bids farewell to Duke.
Maybe it's not his heart here, but his idea of eating soft rice here.
After the second day, Duke went back to work and study normally, and didn't take Kylia Raging to heart.
Before crossing, he had had enough fun on Earth, and he was indifferent to female sex.
Besides, there are lovely young girl Mu Lali and beautiful female knight Vivienne at home, which are enough for him to please his eyes and ears.
"I only have spiritual mysteries in my heart."
He has come into contact with more and more card making skills for civilian cards. Xiaoyi's database can get a lot of experience data with each successful card making, which helps him further improve his card making skills, such as spirit storage cards, slide cards, spirit dragon cards, driver cards, etc.
"Sir, a package from the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company." Mu Lali brought in a box.
Open the box, inside are the spiritual cards neatly stacked.
Take out one at random, bend it lightly, and bend the spirit card into a small cylinder. These are exactly the bendable 1-ring storage spirit cards customized from the United Card Shop.
"Well, the effect is good." Duke quickly devoted himself to the research on the bendable Linka.
In addition to the special flexible card material, the spell model also has many novel elements. He analyzed it bit by bit, and let Xiaoyi put it in the database.
This is all accumulation.
After accumulating enough, Duke can make any kind of spirit card.
The second day after he got the bendable spirit card, he made a special ring-shaped card machine interface, and then inserted the spirit card into it.
After starting, the contact was poor and the lamp head could not be turned on.
"The craftsmanship is a bit lax, but it doesn't matter, just modify it." Duke was busy all day again.
Not only successfully improved the interface of the ring-shaped card machine, but also produced a corresponding "spirit charging line" to charge the curved storage card.
With this built-in spirit storage card, the portable lamp quickly loses weight. It originally required the thickness of an adult's arm, but now it can be designed to be the width of two fingers.
Too small and exquisite.
"Xiao Yi, write an application for an invention patent." Duke ordered.
Without adding a new process, Xiaoyi has already written several parts of the application in an instant. From the structure of the built-in storage card to the patents related to the charging line, a total of more than a dozen copies have been split. When you think of new related patents in the future, you can continue to apply.
In short, around the built-in charging solution, Duke once again built a set of patent barriers.
Reduce the risk of being robbed of patents by others.
If you want to grab it, you have to spend more money!
After a while, Duke typed out the patent applications written by Xiaoyi one by one with a typewriter, signed them and stamped them.
"Mulali, tell Royce to drive to the Learning Tower."
"Okay, sir."
Shuttle shuttles through the city streets at a fast speed. The scenery of the outer city is not as good as that of the inner city, but it is more vibrant.
There are new buildings being built everywhere, and countless puppets are busy up and down the construction site.
"I read in the newspaper that the population of Shenjiao City will reach 4.2 million next year, compared to 3.9 million last year." Mu Lali had nothing to say.
"The population has increased by 300,000 in two years. This growth rate is still acceptable." Duke nodded.
Shenjiao City has no foreign population, and the increasing population is basically local-born babies. With this new data, it shows that ordinary people are desperately trying to have children.
But when the Cuihai Valley development war is won and Cuihai Town is built, Shenjiao City may not have any new population. Cuihai Town needs to live, and the war will kill people. These populations have to be wiped out from the newly added population of Shenjiao City.
Like Duke's parents, they were the victims of the last Black Snake Lair Opening War.
Before he knew it, the shuttle had passed through the outer city and arrived at the door of the Boxue Tower. Duke opened the door and got off, and entered the Boxue Tower with the application.
Just entered the door, before the name was reported, the exclusive guide came over: "Your Excellency Duke, it's a pleasure to see you again."
"Nice to see you again, too." Pretty usher, who wouldn't love it.
Immediately, he handed over a dozen application forms to the exclusive guide, and walked into the VIP lounge to read the newspaper.
Before reading a piece of news, the exclusive guide came back again: "Your Excellency Duke, the chief director, I invite you to his office."
"The chief director...is Lord Erwin?" Duke was surprised.
"Yes."
Duke got up quickly, and under the leadership of the exclusive guide, he went up the spiritual ladder leading to the highest level of the Boxue Tower.
Erwin's assistant was standing outside the office door. When he saw Duke, he bowed to say hello: "Your Excellency Duke, please wait a moment. Your Excellency is receiving guests."
"Okay." Duke motioned to the dedicated guide to help him handle the application, while he sat on the chair outside the office.
Spread out the newspaper and continue reading.
This "Daily Shenjiao City" published an announcement that Bernoulli Mage Tower and Shenjiao City formally reached an agreement to establish a spirit insect breeding base in Shenjiao City to train a group of Gu knights for Shenjiao City and strengthen the city's defense forces.
Duke was thoughtful: "Cultivating Gu knights... I'm afraid it's a remedy for the previous bug invasion, and repair the reputation among the people."
