Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2565 Great Power Strategy
In the end, Xia Duo experienced the authority of the speaker again. As before, he didn't find any problems. The degree of completion of Nya's remote conference system was unexpectedly high, so high that he could hardly put forward new opinions.

He could put forward a lot of opinions, but Nya knew all of them, and he just showed him the prototype in a hurry, so he didn't pay attention to them. Next, Nya will definitely be able to get it done before going to Severton.

"Your performance this time really exceeded my expectations. This teleconferencing system is very well done! If I have to give my opinion, then I can only say, do a good job of encryption. In addition, go to Severton When applying for a patent, both the form of implementation and the details of the spell must be considered.”

Niya was a little embarrassed when she heard what Xia Duo said before, but after that, her attention was immediately attracted by the expression patent that Xia Duo said, and she couldn't help asking:
"I can understand how to apply for a patent for the details of the spell. Can I still apply for a patent for the form of expression? Others don't necessarily need to use our spells to realize this remote conference function."

"Of course you can! In my opinion, as long as there is a considerable degree of unique innovation, you can apply for a patent. Although teleconferencing is not the first time it has appeared, it is worth a patent opportunity for us who standardized it." Xia Duo Calmly explained.

In fact, the question Niya raised does not exist on Earth, not to mention the innovation of the form of expression, and even a change of material or a new shell can apply for a new patent.

So on the earth, applying for a patent is often a series of applications, blocking the way for others to approach as much as possible. No cost to use, even during the patent period, others can conduct research, but it is not commercially available.

So it is still on the earth, as long as you think you can keep it secret, then of course you don't need to apply for a patent.

To sum up, patents generally have two major benefits, one is to protect the interests of creators, and the other is to promote technological progress.

At present, Netheril's patents are only directly related to magic, and it is mandatory to collect patent fees from various mage tower organizations, not from individuals. As long as individuals have the ability to obtain new knowledge and new technologies, the Arcane Union does not care at all. of.

Because from the moment the patent was born, all the mage tower organizations in Netheril had already started paying fees, and the Arcane Union and the patent owner had received the money, so naturally they would not care about anything else.

Of course, Netheril has been developing for so many years, and a lot of knowledge has long become public knowledge. It's just that in the past hundred years, fewer people have registered for patents, and it seems that the development of magic has stagnated.

But the decrease in registered patents is actually the result, not the reason. The root of everything is the conservative atmosphere of Netheril for nearly a hundred years.

This is a more elegant way of saying it. To put it more bluntly, some people would rather not have patent fees, and do not want more people to acquire new knowledge and new technologies, and even set limits on existing public knowledge.

As for why this is the case, the theft of the Nether scroll can only be regarded as an inducement. In fact, some vested interests want to block the way for the latecomers. Later rich.

Because in the eyes of those people, wealth and strength have become the standard to measure the status of people. Once the latecomers have wealth or strength similar to them, they will naturally feel that they will lose the sense of superiority generated by wealth and strength.

So no matter what those people say, as long as possible, what those people actually do is to prevent the latecomers from gaining wealth and power.

Even if there was no theft of the Nether scroll, those people would find other excuses, or even no excuses.

It is conceivable that as long as the mind does not advance, no matter how advanced the technology is, it will only lead to more serious exploitation, and it is extremely difficult to advance the mind under more advanced technology.

The ruler will instinctively shape the ideology of the whole society according to his own wishes. The more advanced the technology, the stronger the barriers of thought will be, because it is against the whole world.

Fortunately, the current world and this era have not reached the point of complete rigidity, and the addition of Xia Duo has brought a new change to the situation.

That's why Xia Duo said without any hesitation—he is here, and the people here are blessed.

……

On the issue of patents, Xia Duo is more confident in the current new parliament, but he is also worried that as the power structure stabilizes later, all parties will start to fail, so he must inject his own influence as much as possible when he can influence it in the early stage.

The current situation in the Northland is changing with each passing day. Yerken and Comanso have completed the centralization and reform of the map. The next step is of course to seek further strength like Irfaran.

Xia Duo called this step a real big country strategy, but after all, the population of the later Great Xia Territory is limited. Even if the birth control is relaxed and the introduction of new population is relaxed, it will be difficult to pursue the elf countries for a long time.

Don't look at his floating city, which is powerful in the north and south, but this is like a single-shot nuclear bomb. Others are afraid, but once a full-scale war breaks out, his family is not enough to fight.

Even if ten more floating cities are built, someone will have to operate them, and the theory of weapons is out of the question, not to mention that Xia Duo himself is against senseless wars.

Therefore, for quite a period of time, Xiaduo needs to take the path of leading or guiding Netheril, and complete the construction of a real great country with the overall strength of Netheril, so as to meet future challenges.

If we take a longer view, through Netheril leading the Northland Alliance, we can further integrate all the forces in the entire western land and even the eastern region.

In this way, no matter whether it is dealing with the possible return of the Eastern World, or the invasion of another plane that only exists in probability, it will not be in a mess.

On the spot, from a more long-term perspective, Xia Duo certainly hoped that the Great Xia Leader he directly controlled could become a pole of its own and lead the whole plane.

……

After Niya left, Xia Duo also left the laboratory, because before Niya left, she told him that several elf artists had recently come to the territory.

This made him immediately think of Lawrence's plan. Perhaps it has already achieved results at this moment. The current stage is the most critical stage of shaping the territory's culture. He must focus on it to prevent the foundation from being unstable.

Walking out of the laboratory, Xia Duo teleported directly to the outside of the cultural hall on the ground, contacted Lawrence to confirm that the other party was still rehearsing, Xia Duo first went to the cultural hall to find an office and waited patiently.

After a while, Lawrence trotted to the office where Xia Duo was, "I kept the lord waiting for a long time. I don't know what instructions the lord has for me?"

"I heard that some elf art festivals have come to the territory recently?"

Although it was a question, Xia Duo's tone was quite certain. Not only did he believe what Niya told him, but he had already confirmed the existence of those elves when he was waiting for Lawrence to come over.

Two of them are even still being visited in the floating city!
