As a military academy, Gevos is directly affiliated with the military and has the top status in the entire Star Federation. Therefore, the research of its various branches is allowed by default and does not require additional review of research qualifications.
Only when military power is firmly in the hands of the Zhengxun government can society develop in a more peaceful state.
If a legal organization such as a mercenary or an anti-government company needs to use weapons, it needs to submit a detailed application and purchase it from the Zhengxun government military industrial unit.
Moreover, the types of weapons that can be purchased are also limited, and high-level anti-personnel weapons are almost impossible to purchase.
Although there are some illegal research institutions in the private sector that disassemble and assemble existing weapons in the Zhengxun Mansion to restore and manufacture them, they are only limited to intermediate-level weapons and below.
Especially high-end weapons and equipment, the military will not let them be plundered at will.
Organizations like the "Taotie" can always obtain illegally circulated weapons, but they cannot master particularly core weapons technology and can only obtain them through robbery.
As for the general-purpose technology of mechas, it needs to be reviewed and evaluated by relevant experts organized by the mecha research and development headquarters of the military department.
After passing the evaluation, it needs to be published on the official website to avoid patent infringement and disputes.
Finally, there is the filing and registration of R&D patents.
General-purpose technologies in weapons and equipment also need to go through first-level review and approval.
The process is cumbersome, but once equipment using these technologies is mass-produced, the real patent holders will be able to enjoy generous patent royalties.
For a carrier as large as the Star Federation, its military strength cannot be underestimated. Therefore, the patent fees generated by general-purpose technology are not low at all.
Moreover, because armaments production is funded by the Star Federation's financial allocation, there is no need to worry about being owed money. It is simply a good thing to sit back and count the money.
However, when faced with Professor Meng Qiu's inquiry, Charlotte didn't spend much time thinking: "Professor, I did not participate in the research and development of this weapon, and I should not enjoy this patent as a co-developer."
She spoke calmly, as if she was refusing just a simple lunch.
Professor Meng Qiu was quite surprised. He couldn't help but ask: "Child, do you know how much profit this patent can bring? Although the laboratory is funded by the college, according to the cooperation treaty, a large portion of the profits from the patent must be allocated to the college. , will be used to support the future scientific research work of the college, but the amount allocated to the patent holders is definitely a very considerable amount. According to my prediction, you can definitely use this to improve the quality of your daily life."
Professor Meng's analysis was very thorough. As someone who had experienced it, he did not hide anything from Charlotte, but told her all the key points he knew.
Charlotte looked at Professor Meng. His chubby face was full of incomprehension. This really... made it impossible for her to understand.
According to convention, at least according to her experience on Earth, Professor Meng had no need to do this.
Because Charlotte’s mother is also engaged in scientific research, Charlotte has a very clear understanding of the status of this industry.
Scientific research is a stoic industry, and many people have very lofty ideals and beliefs.
However, when the results of scientific research can bring huge profits, the mentality of researchers will inevitably undergo some changes.
Charlotte has experienced the apocalypse. As a person who survived the apocalypse, she understands human nature better than anyone else.
It is very difficult to persist in keeping the breeze on one's sleeves, and researchers who are "ungrounded" often have a very hard time.
When it comes to the huge profits generated by patents, many people may have this wavering in their hearts: Oh, it would be great if there could be one less common beneficiary, so that I can get more...
There is nothing to criticize. After all, scientific researchers cannot be kidnapped morally. They also have to live a life and hope to bring better material living conditions to their families.
Charlotte's mother was lucky that she didn't have to worry about these material things. Father will help mother prepare everything.
The Xia family also has this confidence as a solid backing for their mother's scientific research career.
Therefore, mothers do not need to be affected by worldly things like other scientific researchers without background.
She can face her scientific research topic in a more pure state of mind.
Obviously one less collaborator can add a very considerable income to oneself.
Professor Meng Qiu, knowing the huge profits of this technology, could still go to such trouble to explain to her and get her to agree to hold the patent. This was really "new" to Charlotte.
She... met a very good teacher.
In Gevos, there are many such teachers.
The longer you stay here, the more changes will occur in your state of mind.
Perhaps unconsciously, Charlotte had a deeper bond with this college.
"Professor, you will not be rewarded for your work. This is your research, and I really shouldn't take credit for it in vain." Charlotte still insisted on her opinion, "I don't have such strong material requirements in life. What I need, I will Earn it on your own.”
Professor Meng Qiu saw that she could not be persuaded, so he made a quick decision and decided to change his mind.
He continued to look at the modified energy sword and pressed the button on it again.
As he moved, the shape of the energy sword changed again!
The slightly scattered energy particles became more solid and gathered tightly together, but they were not as rigid as a long sword, but could sway and move with the movements of the hand.
This has transformed into a long whip!
This change alone is more than one or two points more sophisticated than Charlotte's modification in the virtual mecha competition.
Professor Meng Qiu then continued: "We set three values for the voltage carried by the particles themselves. Different voltages will shape the energy particles into different shapes. You see, it is the button on the hilt." Professor Meng Qiu pointed out He pointed and said.
Near the start button of the energy sword, there is another small button for adjustment.
"When the energy sword is activated, the initial default is the long sword form. Its specific power is the same as before, and there is no adjustment." Professor Meng Qiu explained, "After that, if you change the small button that can be adjusted, Turn it to the left, and it will be in the state where objects can be absorbed just now. Let's call it an 'energy traction rope'. If you turn the adjustment button to the right, it will become a solid 'energy whip' state."
3 gears and 3 states greatly enrich the maneuverability of the energy sword and its flexible adaptability to the combat environment.
