Blackstone Code

"Two million?"

The professor was a little surprised. This number was indeed beyond his imagination!

In fact, his research on electronic optical instruments is very superficial. He was able to agree to Lynch to win this project because he knew the experts in this field.

In the scientific field, especially in the federal scientific field, at the most cutting-edge places, there are actually not many secrets.

Especially pure science.

If a scientific progress needs to be recognized by the world, it must have relevant papers explaining its discoveries and inventions, and then register a patent.

The federal patent registration law is not exactly the same as the patent registration laws in other countries or regions. In the federation, you don’t even need actual functional samples to register appearance and functionality patents through language descriptions!

If someone goes one step further on the road to science than others and does not register a patent, this means that he cannot expose his research.

But pure scientific research experts are eager to gain industry recognition. This is not only a matter of fame, but also establishes their own status in the industry and countless wealth!

Once they publish a paper but don't register a patent, it doesn't take long for a bunch of patent trolls to start testing the new paper.

If they do not hit the patent barrier, then they will start to register like crazy. They will register countless patents one step ahead of the inventor to form a stronger barrier, so that the inventor will not be able to use his invention in the future. Need authorization from these patent trolls!

This is federal law. It is not very... reasonable in many cases, but at least it takes care of many people relatively speaking.

Therefore, in the federation, scientific progress will be very obvious, and papers will be released after patents have been registered for a period of time and all patents are confirmed to be effective.

This has also led to the fact that basically in the top scientific fields, most technical content is shared without commercial aspects.

In fact, many technologies in Lynch's Flight Research Institute are public, but no one dares to use them casually, or no one can use them at all.

Why?

Because of the patent holder, Blackstone Capital will not give any authorization to outsiders. If someone touches these patents and makes profits without authorization.

Lynch will sue them so much that they don’t even have the courage to live!

Experts in the field of electronic optics all have the same level of mastery of current mainstream technologies. The only difference between scientists and top scientists lies in their understanding of unknown things and the inspiration for inventions and creations.

So is there an unbridgeable gap between scientists and top scientists?

No, in the face of the great power of wealth, creativity is not a problem.

Not just science, the development and exploration of anything is actually a process of continuous trial and error.

For top scientists, they may know roughly where the future path lies from the beginning.

It may not take many tries for them to find the right path.

As for ordinary scientists, they don’t know where the future development direction of a science and technology will be.

This requires them to constantly try and make mistakes, little by little!

It's like a hundred keys and a lock. No one knows which key can open the lock, but there must be one that can.

Top scientists can lock the correct key in its approximate location through their own methods, while ordinary scientists can only use trial and error through wealth.

Every trial and error means wasting not necessarily a lot of time, but certainly a lot of manpower and material resources.

It may take some people a period of research and a waste of materials, but eventually they find that the result is wrong.

If there are enough funds to support them to continue trial and error, maybe they will be able to find the key next time, but it is also possible that they will need to try ninety-nine more times to find the key.

This is the mutual assistance between capital and scientists.

Lynch provided two million in funds for research and development. In the professor's view, this was tantamount to giving him many opportunities for trial and error. They would always find the most correct one in the end, as long as Lynch could continue to fund them!

And this may be the reason why the patent rights for commissioned research always belong to the capital side, because no one knows how many times it will take these people to find the correct answer.

Maybe once, maybe a hundred times, a thousand times.

Capital has taken the greatest risk, and they deserve the most!

Just when the professor was about to talk about his research plans, Lynch shook his head.

The professor was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little embarrassed. He thought Lynch would give him more than before, but he didn't expect it would only be 200,000!

But before his embarrassment turned into a desire for more wealth, Lynch revealed a figure that shocked him.

"Professor, I need to remind you, I didn't say two million, but twenty million."

"This is not a simple project, you have to understand it first."

"This is a whole system of commissions!"

"First of all, we need a miniaturized and miniaturized lens that can capture some pictures into information. I believe you have some understanding of this aspect?"

The professor nodded repeatedly. This was his major. "Yes, we have discussed this issue at some domestic exchange meetings recently..."

Because he had financial assistance from Lynch and an invitation from Holy Peace University, he was officially at the top of electronic science and had a certain influence.

For the miniaturization of the equipment he has completed, many capital forces have actually contacted him privately.

As long as he is willing to help them bypass professional barriers, even if Lynch wants to file a lawsuit with him, those people are willing to come forward.

But he only listened to this kind of words. Scientists are actually not safe in the face of capital.

He came to Bupen not long ago and talked about this matter.

A young scientist came up with a hypothesis that used circuits and switches as a way to store information.

The lights on and off represent true and false respectively. Different numbers of true and false can ultimately be assigned to different display terminals in the form of circuits.

And he showed off his research on the spot, a very childish typewriter.

But this typewriter attracted the attention of almost all scientists!

Because it's not "instant"!

Today's old-fashioned printers press a button and the robotic arm taps the ink ribbon, leaving a mark on the paper.

But this printer is electronic.

He continued to type some letters, and then pressed the switch. Finally, the sentence composed of these letters was displayed directly on a small terminal!

Its function is very simple, and it can even be said to be very... imbecile, but its concept and the storm of ideas it brings are too terrifying!

Informatizing everything and then storing it has become a hotly discussed topic during this period.

The professor also participated. He also had many ideas of his own. He felt that this might be a major trend in future research.

However, few people are interested in this aspect, and those capitalists are not very concerned about these things with invisible returns.

They like research and inventions that can bring benefits quickly, or that they simply enjoy.

For example, Mr. Lynch in front of me.

He briefly explained to Lynch what was going on at the meeting, and Lynch found it very interesting.

"Yes, that's what it means. We already have televisions, and I believe we have done enough research on the process of image informatization."

"But all this is based on limitations. My requirements are similar to what you just mentioned."

"I need to use these tiny cameras to store the pictures in something, and then compare them with the newly acquired picture information..."

The professor's brain is not very full at this time. It is not difficult to convert simple pictures into information. Television is the best example.

But to save the image and then compare it with the new image...that's too damn hard, right?

Circuit boards are not fucking human brains!

Then Lynch made an even more extreme request!

"Then I need to compare these reserved information to send signals to other components..."

This is actually a type of guided missile. The moment the missile is triggered, it will intercept a picture and lock a certain pattern on the picture.

The locking method is not simply to identify the picture, but to lock it through certain special features, such as the edge of the dark outline, or certain features.

Then, the image is constantly updated during the flight, and the tail is automatically adjusted for guidance based on the position of these features in the front fixed-angle lens.

As long as it can ensure that the characteristic target is always on the "center", then it can finally hit!

Things like infrared guidance, satellite guidance, etc... It may not be possible at the current level in a short time.

The only thing that is possible is this somewhat troublesome guidance method!

As for the propulsion power part, the Flight Research Institute itself is responsible for it.

After being silent for a long time, the professor gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lynch, our previous cooperation has been very pleasant. I don't want to deceive you on this issue."

He seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and took a deep breath. "Your commission is not just a matter of funds. We may not achieve any results in a short time!"

"And it requires not just people like me, we also need experts who have studied this very deeply to form a huge team."

"Even after the 20 million is spent, whether we can get what you want is still unknown..."

"so……"

Some things are easy to say, but very difficult to do.

It's like a piece of iron wire in the hands of a thief can help him open most locks in the world, but in the hands of ordinary people, this piece of iron wire is just an iron wire!

It is easy to convert the picture into information and restore it to the monitor, but how to dynamically let the circuit board find the differences in the picture and correct them based on these differences is difficult!

He feels that if he has enough money, he may not have enough time.

If you don't care about time, the money may not be enough...
