You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

In the headquarters of Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd., counting from the top floor to the bottom, the entire three floors are the research and development center.

The famous Deep Space Laboratory is here.Since the enrollment expansion started in July, the research and development scale of Deep Space has expanded rapidly like eating yeast. New projects are established every day, and new achievements appear.Intelligent, virtual and digital, the three laboratories are like a solid foundation, guarding the technological kingdom of fire.

It is worth mentioning that there are rumors in the market and within the company that there is actually a fourth laboratory in deep space, but no one knows where it is and what it does.

Lou Qingyan finished swiping his work card and fingerprints, came out from the security passage, turned around and waited for Jiang Fu.These three floors involved many commercial secrets, and the security system was extremely strict. Even he and Jiang Fu had to go through several inspection procedures before they could enter.

After a while, Jiang Fu came out, and the two went side by side to an independent laboratory deep in the corridor.

People kept saying hello to them along the way, and Jiang Fujie nodded slightly. He is the person in charge of the digital laboratory, and the only person who has cooperated with fire in research and development, and has won all the executives (and now even the middle managers). Extraordinary respect, so the status in the R & D center is quite high.

The two walked by, occasionally causing some discussions.

"Canary is here today, and is here to work with Mr. Jiang again."

"Canary has already resigned as the general manager of Deep Space Wonderland, how can she come in and out of the company casually, and still get the authority of our R&D center?"

"I heard that no more than ten people in the company can enter the innermost room. Lou Qingyan follows Mr. Jiang in and out casually every day. It's a bit powerful..."

"One person begged Fire to order an order to ban office romances. It's enough to see this pair of dogs coming in and out every day..."

Lou Qingyan and Jiang Fu came to the room with the highest authority that the staff said, and several people were already working inside. When they saw them coming, they waved happily, "Boss, you are here at last, and you can't wait for us to die. Look quickly!" Look, what is wrong with this program, why can't it run?"

"In your eyes, I'm just a tool person who can help solve technical problems." Lou Qingyan walked over with a smile.

"Where is there?" Everyone came together, served tea and water, rubbed shoulders and legs.

Jiang Fu walked to another workbench and sat down.

It has been a week for the two of them to come to the laboratory to report on time from nine to nine every day.

This week's life was extremely monotonous. I went back and forth between home and the company at two o'clock and one line every day. Apart from doing research, I ate and slept.Jiang Fu felt a little emotional, let alone Lou Qingyan.

What Jiang Fu could still insist on was to cook for Lou Qingyan himself. He set up a small kitchen in the company, and asked his aunt to prepare the ingredients according to his instructions every day. Lunch and dinner were handled like this.Later, Lou Qingyan showed off his cooking to others, and a group of rough men who ate takeaway every day turned into lemons and strongly demanded to join the Cengfan quota. Jiang Fu then prepared another big pot and instructed his aunt to cook for them with words. He still only gave Lou Qingyan a small treat.

This kind of life will continue for another month, and Lou Qingyan calls it "retreat".

The first VR standard summit is coming soon, even if it knows that it is being targeted and excluded, Deep Space can't do nothing.In the words of everyone in the laboratory: "Before going to the Guangmingding to face the six sects, shouldn't you first learn a move called the Great Teleportation of the Universe?"

"Boss," Lou Qingyan helped to check the procedure, was about to get up, but saw Yan Zizhen walking over worriedly holding the computer, "Our international patent applications are all stuck."

"Stuck?"

"It is said that the deep space does not meet the qualifications for the express channel application. Look, this is the mail receipt."

Like domestic patents, the examination and approval process for international patents is also very long. Domestically, it may take ten months to complete, while internationally, it takes at least two years. There are also some special countries that are not in the two major alliances, and need to prepare materials separately for application.

Deep Space has never paid much attention to patents, and applying for patents is not only beneficial.Having a patent for a technology means that it will be disclosed sooner or later, ranging from five to eight years to as many as 20 years.It also means that technical information is exposed to the noses of governments, allowing them to consult at any time.

However, the VR standard summit made Xie Jin and others discover the necessity of hoarding patents.

This kind of standardization conference is a civilized money-grabbing activity in a civilized society.Each standard has several alternative technologies. Everyone votes to support a certain technology to enter the standard. Once the technology patent becomes a standard essential patent, people all over the world will have to pay the patent holder. This is simply a monopoly. .

A well-known patent giant known as a patent troll collects 300 billion yuan in patent fees from China every year.The failure of domestic enterprises in the channel coding standard voting also means that many domestic technology patents have lost the opportunity to become standard essential patents. In addition to losing a large amount of patent fees every year, they are one step behind others in terms of technology research and development and market share. .

There is a saying that "third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make technology, and first-rate companies make standards." Although there are many versions of similar jokes, it is enough to see how important "patent standardization" is to companies.

The problem with deep space is that there are no international patents.

The company has been established for less than two years, which is not enough for an international patent to be approved.

Deep space generally adopts the method of commercial secrets to protect information. This method is very good for software and algorithms that are not easy to be cracked, but for chips that are relatively easy to be cracked by reverse engineering, if there is no patent protection, once cracked , that is, everyone can make it, and there is no theory of infringement.

VR is developed on the basis of Zhuang Zhou's architecture and origin APIs. It stands to reason that Deep Space has already controlled the underlying foundation of VR, and can use these two tools to check and balance the global VR market.Why does the U.S. Department of Commerce still use the Entity List to sanction him, but it is not afraid that he will use Zhuang Zhou to counter it?

It is because the United States believes that it has the ability to reversely crack Zhuang Zhou's structure.

Even if it does not prepare for the VR standardization conference, it is necessary for Deep Space to apply for Zhuang Zhou's patent before it is cracked.Of course, domestic patents have been approved long ago. During this period of time, the Ministry of Justice has been striving for the priority and express channel of international patent applications. Now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

"Which ones have been rejected?" Lou Qingyan looked at the email, and the patent projects submitted by Deep Space were not limited to Zhuang Zhou's architecture.

"Almost...all of them." Yan Zizhen said, "It was relatively smooth when going through the procedures in the first few countries, but when we arrived in Europe and the United States, various problems occurred..."

Everyone looked at Lou Qingyan.

Although I have never asked, everyone has doubts in their hearts - deep space does not even have patents, how to participate in the standard setting conference?No matter how ingenious inventions they complete without sleep and food, is there any use for them?

Could it be that Deep Space is only exercising voting rights, with the purpose of coordinating vertically and horizontally to manipulate voting, rather than contributing technology to VR standards?

After reading the email, Lou Qingyan didn't feel too worried, "It's just that the application for the express lane was rejected, it's nothing, it should be ours or ours, just wait another two years."

"But the time can't be delayed too late," someone said impulsively. "If you keep procrastinating like this, what if they use the excuse that the product is already on the market and refuse to approve it? Or if Zhuang Zhou is cracked, then they should completely apply I can't come down."

"Zhuang Zhou is not so easy to crack." Lou Qingyan smiled, "Some people are too confident, tsk."

He glanced at everyone and said lightly: "It's okay, let's continue to work."

After that, no one mentioned it again.

After returning home at night, Jiang Fu stared at Lou Qingyan and stopped talking for a long time.

Lou Qingyan thought he was thinking about the standards meeting, so he said, "What's wrong with you? Just tell me if you have any thoughts."

Jiang Fu said: "I originally wanted to bring you home during the Chinese New Year."

Lou Qingyan was startled, Jiang Fu had indeed said this, he did not expect him to be so serious that he still remembered it.

Jiang Fu: "I overlooked it, the date of the standard meeting and the end of the year have collided."

In fact, Lou Qingyan has been avoiding a certain question.

At first, I was too lazy to think about it, but later I deliberately didn't think about it.

At this moment, he finally couldn't help asking: "Your parents treat me..."

Jiang Fu smiled and stroked his hair, "Did you forget, you saved my dad's life, they only like you, don't worry."

"What do I have to worry about." Lou Qingyan took his hand away as if nothing had happened, and asked very naturally and casually, "Then they can accept you and the man..."

Jiang Fu said: "There are some difficulties in the concept, and they are working hard to overcome it. My father said that it is really impossible to raise two stupid sons who can't marry a wife. These two stupid sons have to depend on each other for life."

Lou Qingyan didn't speak for a moment.

Jiang Fu hugged him from behind, rubbing his lips against his ears and said, "In order for parents to change the thinking of antique as soon as possible, you have to take the initiative to call their parents instead of uncles and aunts, you understand?"

Lou Qingyan: "...you still want to fool me? Quickly hide your little thoughts."

"Everyone knows my thoughts, what are you hiding?" Jiang Fu stepped back and took him to the bed, "My parents have always wanted me to be healthy and happy. I."

For some reason, Lou Qingyan thought of himself before time travel.That self is already very strange, if he was standing here, he would probably be very envious, very envious of Jiang Fu.

"I'll go home with you in the next year, after the next year." He made up his mind, "Now we want to live this year well, with everything going well, and everyone celebrating." He turned over and looked at Jiang Fu's face. The eyes announced, "Jiang Fu, I not only want your parents to like me, but also let them show off me to the neighbors, be proud of me, and be proud of me."
