In the conference hall of the Solar Furnace Research Building.

Researchers from all walks of life brainstormed to find a solution to this problem.

After Wang Jiuliang pondered for a while, he said: "If you replace the 14mm semiconductor parts, you can actually complete the manufacture of the solar furnace."

When he said this, he paused before continuing: "However, this is the previous generation of semiconductor technology. If it is to be replaced, the design drawings of the miniaturized solar furnace need to be modified, and it may not reach the original planned volume. The volume of the solar furnace will increase by about 30%."

Fang Zhenguo listened carefully, and groaned: "The headquarters' meaning is to complete the solar furnace assembly of the nuclear fusion-powered mothership as much as possible within the planned time.

"The solar furnace is larger and acceptable. I have been to the power cabin of the nuclear fusion-powered mothership and reserved a larger space than planned.

"Even if the solar furnace is too large, you can try to transform the mothership's power cabin. These problems can be overcome.

"In addition to semiconductor components, are there other problems in the manufacture of solar furnaces?"

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology said: "Semiconductor parts are only hardware problems, and there may be a software problem that is difficult to solve. The EDA electronic design automation system of Sun Furnace also has a part of Baiying Country's patents. It's hard to get around.

"If the White Eagle country must block the technology authorization, the EDA system may not be used. In that case, it is necessary to find a substitute for the EDA system."

The hardware can be replaced with products of the previous generation process. The disadvantage is that the manufactured semiconductor components are larger and consume more power.

However, the power consumption of semiconductor components is simply not worth mentioning for the solar furnace, an energy engine that allows humans to fly to the stars.

Therefore, the hardware problems can be overcome, and the software problems are more troublesome.

Moreover, the solar furnace R&D team has always used the original EDA system. Even if new alternatives can be found, many underlying designs need to be reinvented.

This is very fatal to the research and development of the solar furnace, and it may take several years to restart.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Zhenguo asked everyone present: "Everyone is brainstorming and thinking about how to overcome the problems we are facing today. You can say anything if you have an idea, or even a little idea."

The incident this time was caused by the White Eagle's sanctions against Dongdu Technology.

Therefore, the person in charge of Dongdu Technology knows the most difficult points and has considered various countermeasures.

He stood up and cleared his throat, and said, "At present, there are several solutions to the problem. The first is to apply for mandatory authorization from the Planetary Defense Council.

"Baiying must prohibit patent authorization and block the use of our company's hardware and software. Under the premise of respecting the patent law, it is difficult to bypass this blockade.

"The only possibility is to apply to the Planetary Defense Council for a compulsory authorization. If the application is approved, the relevant patents can be used directly. But doing so will break the worldwide patent law rules and may leave hidden dangers."

Liu pushed his glasses and said indignantly: "Have Baiying ever respected the patent law? I heard that you were in a lawsuit with Baiying a company last year. Is there such a thing? What happened?"

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology said helplessly: "This is indeed the case. Our company has many patents in communication technology. A Baiying company did not pay the patent royalties, and indeed fought a lawsuit. However, we are very helpless. I lost the case."

"Cross the Pacific and go to the White Eagle to fight a lawsuit. I want to win that and achieve a miracle." Fang Zhenguo thumped the table, obviously also very angry.

"Since they don't pay for using our patents, why can't we use their patents? Regardless of them, use them directly." Eve snorted angrily.

"This matter has become a classic debate about whether or not a dog bites a dog. It is difficult to handle." Fang Yuan commented.

The person in charge of Dongdu Technology shook his head and said: "This method does not work. A certain Baiying company does not pay patent fees. Strictly speaking, it is the problem of that company. We can't do the same to other Baiying companies. The semiconductor-related patent company has not owed our company's patent fees, so in principle, it needs to respect the other party's patents."

"Then you can only apply to the Planetary Defense Council for compulsory authorization." Eve thinks this approach is feasible.

Fang Zhenguo shook his head and said, "You can try, but the possibility of success is unlikely. Among the six members of the Planetary Defense Council, the White Eagle plus three followers, occupying four seats. There is basically no possibility of passing the application."

The people present are all scientific research workers. They have devoted their entire lives to scientific research and are not good at politicians.

Therefore, most of them are looking for a solution to the problem from the technical aspect.

In addition to scientific researchers, the theater headquarters are also actively looking for solutions.

To solve a problem, you can start from many aspects.

Researchers consider technical solutions, but in fact, sometimes this matter is not a technical problem at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Zhenguo said: "If technically you can't get around, you can solve the problem through negotiation. You don't have to worry too much, the headquarters will find a way."

"What can the headquarters do?" Wang Jiuliang asked.

"Our planetary defense council representatives are trying to communicate with the representatives of the White Eagles. If they can be resolved through negotiation, they will bear with it for the time being and get the solar furnace out first." Fang Zhenguo said so, but he was actually very upset. , I really want to put those politicians on the ground.

However, it's not the time to get rid of the skin. The key is to get the solar furnace out first. As long as the solar furnace is built and assembled on the nuclear fusion power carrier, then the confidence will be sufficient.

In addition to Fang Zhenguo, the theater headquarters also sent another person in charge, who took over the topic and said: "Just now there was news from the headquarters. Our representatives communicated with the representatives of the Baiying side and got a preliminary understanding of the Baiying side’s Claim.

"Baiying insists on sanctions against Dongdu Technology, but it can authorize solar furnace R&D projects separately, and all hardware and software related to solar furnace R&D projects can be authorized for use."

Wang Jiuliang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard things turn around.

He will spend his whole life studying the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, and he is about to successfully build the solar furnace and install it on the nuclear fusion power mothership.

Naturally, I hope to accomplish this goal as soon as possible.

"However, Bai Yingfang made a request." The person in charge sent by the headquarters added.

"What's the requirement?" Wang Jiuliang asked quickly.

"Baiying has invested in solar furnace R&D projects on the condition of sharing related semiconductor patents."

As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at each other.
