730: Chapter 730: A Complete Set of Patent Barriers 730: Chapter 730: A Complete Set of Patent Barriers Li Fugui’s actions were incredibly fast, and a series of dozens of the most useful patents were filed in succession.
But it wasn’t just those—Zhao Guang found that Li Fugui had actually filed for more than two hundred patents.
However, most of them were useless and were only meant as a precaution for some special scenarios and to serve as misdirection.
He had already added a set of misdirection himself, not expecting that Li Fugui would add a second set.
With a series of patents like these, finding the truly useful ones was no easy task.
And even if they were found, there was still Zhao Guang’s second line of defense, which would prevent anyone from understanding them thoroughly.
They had no idea that what would truly be effective, in fact, were those things that resembled trademarks, and Li Fugui had just applied for a similar trademark structure across the board.
After all, such an application method is a very common tactic within large companies.
They are all worried about being exploited, so now large companies are all doing this sort of thing.
Similar exterior designs often need several patents for just one design, and they were already familiar with this.
Hence, these kinds of patents were among the easiest to file for amongst all the patents.
Following that, the paper published by Zhao Guang was released.
Of course, the name on it wasn’t Zhao Guang, but another name he had concocted.
But for those at the top, everyone knew who was behind the work.
Thus, as soon as it was published, everyone started studying this Diamond Sand, which was indeed a true new material.
However, even if they managed to produce it, in the laboratory, they couldn’t figure out what this stuff was for.
Immediately after, Zhao Guang made new moves.
The previous patents were the core designs, which looked somewhat similar to exterior designs, but others didn’t know that, so they wouldn’t pay attention to it.
But next, the designs for production were different, presenting yet another series of patent barriers.
Doing this kind of thing made Zhao Guang very happy, Li Fugui was also pleased, and the key players above felt the same.
Having been held back by the West in high-tech fields, the upper echelons had long been fed up with the situation, and now it was finally their turn to take the lead.
Moreover, looking at Zhao Guang’s descriptions of the batteries, they could essentially solve most of the current problems.
The existence of the Oil Tree could effectively help them transition and get through this phase.
As for the energy problems with other high-tech products, they still needed to find solutions later.
But no matter what, in the future, they could really break free from the reliance on oil.
Zhao Guang’s manufacturing scheme was simple, but the design was very ingenious, and the machinery was extremely precise.
Paired with the manufacturing of artificial diamonds, they created two large grinding disks that ground against each other.
What they ultimately produced was Diamond Sand that met the standard.
Of course, while the process was simple, the demands on the machinery were extremely high.
If they didn’t meet the standards, the produced Diamond Sand would be unusable, a complete waste.
If Zhao Guang did not release the specific technology to the West for study, it would take them twenty years to figure it out.
But even if they did figure it out, they still wouldn’t be able to manufacture it.
Because Zhao Guang then started filing patents for a lot of internal and external battery designs, forming yet another complete series of patent barriers, and many in the West, facing these obstacles, felt utterly frazzled, yet helpless.
Moreover, they had more important matters to attend to, related to cultivation practices.
They had heard that some individuals capable of Energy Introduction had appeared in the East, but they hadn’t seen the same at home.
Key among these issues, after doing some analysis, they found that Easterners were generally cultivating much faster than they were, even several times faster.
This annoyed the self-proclaimed noble Westerners, but they were powerless to change it.
Because of this, various protests had once again increased.
After all, they would protest whenever they felt displeased, but as for exerting effort themselves, that was not in their vocabulary.
Gaining power without effort was the most desirable thing for them.
But returning to the main topic, by now Zhao Guang had already manufactured various samples of the batteries.
Although there was not yet mass production, making a few was not an issue for Zhao Guang.
With his Alchemy skills, he could directly handcraft them with even more precision than machines.
In front of Zhao Guang, so-called Level 8 workers were nothing special.
However, after receiving the batteries, the superiors’ emotions were complex.
The device was incredibly powerful, and its performance on all aspects was unmatchable by traditional batteries.
Once these batteries hit the market, the endurance of many technological gadgets was going to reach a frightening level.
Not to speak of anything else, the most striking would be mobile phones.
In the past, you had to charge your phone several times a day and always keep a charger cable and power bank handy.
But now, it was different.
These batteries, once fully charged, could go on for days with ease.
Furthermore, the battery could be made very small, allowing phones to become thinner and lighter.
In this regard, they suddenly seemed to possess a peak technology.
“So they’re really going ahead with this, huh?
I have no issue with that; I’ve already granted full authority to Li Fugui,”
hearing the news from Ye Zhi, Zhao Guang directly told Ye Zhi.
She nodded without concern.
They were already familiar with this pattern, but it seemed Li Fugui was about to become very busy.
