Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 129 Building a Patent Wall for the West
"They include millimeter wave communication technology, MIMO multi-antenna technology, network slicing technology, and high-order modulation and demodulation technology..."

When he heard Qian Yu recount the recent scientific research results like a treasure trove, Chen Xing still felt a flash of surprise in his heart.

How long has it been since the 5G Lab was established?

Less than a month!
He thought that people with golden qualities were perverted, but he didn't expect to be so perverted?
While Chen Xing was still surprised, Qian Yu suddenly changed the topic and said, "Actually! Our laboratory has not fully mastered these technologies yet, and has only made preliminary breakthroughs."

Chen Xing: "..."

Good news: There’s a technological breakthrough.

Bad news: No full breakthrough.

If Chen Xing hadn't seen strong winds and waves and had an excellent psychological quality, he would have wanted to grab Qian Yu by the collar and beat him up.

A breakthrough, but not a complete breakthrough, what does this mean?

"but…"

Qian Yu changed the topic again and said with a faint smile: "Although I don't have a complete grasp of it, it doesn't affect you, CEO, to register a patent."

Proficiently registering patents is an essential skill for the development of technology companies.

"!!!"

After what he said, Chen Xing also came to his senses and asked: "Are you trying to say that this pile of technical information was specially compiled by you for me to apply for a patent?"

"That's right!"

Qian Yu gave Chen Xing a look of praise and patiently explained: "There are so many things that need to be prepared for the 5G network. If you want to fully master it, you even have to try to build network base stations."

"How to give our company the right to speak in 5G in a short period of time, it is a good choice to register underlying basic patents around the corresponding technologies. Only by setting restrictions at all levels of basic patents will it be difficult for others to overtake us."

underlying patent.

Set limits at every level.

Listening to Qian Yu's narration, Chen Xing felt more and more familiar.

Isn't this a common method used by the West?
For example, why the engine of a fuel vehicle cannot be manufactured? In addition to the accuracy of production equipment, it is actually more because its patented technology can build a wall.

A core technology combined with several auxiliary technologies, or a core technology split into multiple technologies for application, forms an airtight patent barrier.

Want to overtake on a curve?
The road is full of roadblocks, how can we pass?
Now it's my turn to register a patent group. I suddenly sat up from my dream. The great powers are actually me?
Chen Xing made waves in his heart, and said with excitement in his tone: "You want me to register a patent group and achieve a leading position, right?"

Hearing this, Qian Yu nodded and responded with a smile: "5G network involves at least thousands of technologies. Whoever masters more technologies will have the right to speak and bargaining power. Registering a patent group can block a certain road. , then the West will have to negotiate with us, because these are the rules of the game."

The rules of the game he mentioned actually refer to the rules of patent application.

Although Longguo's companies are restricted by patents everywhere and every step is extremely difficult, if Longguo's companies register patents and surpass them, the West will not dare to deny the restrictions.

If you don’t admit it, then flip the table over!
Does the West dare to flip the table?

Lifting the table means allowing imitation and copycats. Once this hole is opened, the chains that bind Longguo's enterprises will be completely broken off.

Even if they don't want to admit the rules of the patent game, they have to admit it, at least on the surface they don't dare to mess around.

Chen Xing would naturally not let go of the opportunity to restrict the West, and quickly asked: "Since you proposed a patent group, you must have sorted out the corresponding patent application sequence, right?"

"Ah."

Qian Yu responded and continued: "Take millimeter wave communication technology as an example. It is the core technology of realizing 5G network. The principle is to use higher frequency electromagnetic waves to provide larger bandwidth and higher transmission rate. "

“However, the shortcomings of this technology are obvious. Millimeter wave signals are easily absorbed and scattered by obstacles such as rain, snow, vegetation, etc. This may lead to signal weakening and transmission interruption. At the same time, it has poor penetration capabilities into buildings and other obstacles. , structures such as walls and windows will significantly weaken millimeter

The strength of the wave signal. "

"The 5G signal is weak through walls, so that's why." Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh inwardly while listening to Qian Yu's explanation.

As a reborn person, he naturally had early exposure to 5G networks.

When the 5G network first came out, the network speed was already very fast, at least three times faster than the 4G network.

However, it has a disadvantage, that is, the stability of the signal and network speed plummets when it is only separated by a wall or a door.

Now after hearing the explanation, it turns out that it is due to the millimeter wave signal.

Chen Xing did not interrupt Qian Yu and waited quietly for the next step. Since he proposed this patented technology, he must already know the solution.

as predicted.

After taking a breath, Qian Yu raised three fingers and said: "To solve the problem of poor wall penetration of millimeter wave signals, our 5G team has proposed three auxiliary solution technologies."

"The first one is beamforming technology. Through beamforming technology, millimeter wave signals can be transmitted in a directional manner, improving signal strength and transmission distance, thereby reducing the impedance of millimeter wave communications."

“The second item, MEC mobile edge computing, moves computing power and storage resources to the edge of the network to reduce communication delays with the central data center and adapt to the low-latency requirements of millimeter wave communications.

"The third, multiple-input multiple-output MIMO technology, allows the use of multiple antennas at the transmitting and receiving ends to increase the capacity and reliability of the communication channel."

"These three technologies are further subdivided into millimeter wave signal directional transmission technology, signal beam enhancement technology, massive MIMO antenna matrix, and edge data high-speed processing technology..."

A dozen underlying technologies overlapped to form three auxiliary technologies. The three auxiliary technologies echoed the core technology. Chen Xing was surprised by this patent wall.

A core technology defect requires three other technologies to solve, and the other three technologies are formed by more than a dozen underlying technologies. This is the terrible thing about technology overlap.

Even if Chen Xing does not apply for a millimeter wave communication technology patent, he only needs to master three auxiliary technologies and a dozen patents on underlying logic technologies. It will be very difficult for friends to solve the problem of weak signal penetration through walls. This is the scariest thing about the patent group.

"Now our 5G team's idea is to register the main millimeter wave communication technology patents first, and then slowly extend downwards. For the underlying patent technology, you can apply for one every two years. President, what do you think?"

Qian Yu asked for his opinion.

Because the 5G network laboratory started late, they don’t know the current progress of their competitors, so they can only buy time by mastering the core technology.

The invention patent has a term of 20 years. If he registers it according to his idea, it can be extended for at least 10 years or more.

"very good."

While praising it, Chen Xing continued: "The idea of ​​a patent group is very good. It's time for us to build a patent wall for the West."

In the past, the West built patent walls because they reaped the dividends of the Industrial Revolution.

Now that the fifth generation of information and communication technology has achieved breakthroughs and things are changing, it makes sense for Chen Xing to build a patent wall for the West, right?
It is very reasonable to treat others the same way they are treated, right?
"If the president approves it, then this is the principle document of the technology, and I'll leave it to you to register the patent group."

Qian Yu picked up the 5 cm thick stack of documents and handed them to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing took the technical document and couldn't help but ask: "Chief Qian, when do you think the 5G network will be available for small-scale applications?"

He doesn't require large-scale coverage. Small-scale coverage is fine. Jiang Ce is still waiting for the brain-computer interface to save his life.

"this…"

Qian Yu fell into deep thought for a while, and then gave a rough timetable: "On a small scale, it is expected to be realized in about half a year, but commercial use is really not certain."

"Half a year?"

Chen Xing murmured to himself.

If it takes about half a year, the progress is still very fast.As for the commercial 5G network, this cannot be applied in a short time. It not only requires the construction of base stations, but also changes the habits of users so that they can voluntarily switch to 5G mobile phones.

Of course.

Chen Xing is not helpless.

Since the 5G network is the interconnection of all things, it would be good for him to conduct research and development around the 5G network, such as cars, TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. that are closest to life, and build an ecosystem belonging to Longxing Technology.

However, 4G has only been popularized for less than two years, so he is not in a hurry.

User, he will harvest!
but not now!
"That's right, President."

Qian Yu's face was full of embarrassment, he kept rubbing his hands and hesitated to speak.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Xing understood that he had something to say, and it must be something he was embarrassed to bring up.

"Speak straight."

He didn't beat around the bush.

"Then I'll tell you the truth." Qian Yu received permission and immediately revealed his heart: "What do you mean, our 5G laboratory still needs a large amount of R&D investment."

"How many?"

"Around 5000 million."

"approved."

“R&D equipment also needs to be purchased.”

"What equipment?"

"There is quite a lot of equipment to purchase. I will send you an email back. The brand and price may be a little expensive."

How much more expensive can it be?

Chen Xingke has never been stingy with investment in technology.

Technology companies are fundamentally based on technology. If you are not willing to invest money in research and development of technology, then you might as well open two pancake stalls and buy the equipment once and for all.

"Just sort it out and send it to me, is there anything else?" Chen Xing asked.

"Have!"

Now that he had said it, Qian Yu was no longer polite and expressed his opinion: "Our laboratory space is a bit insufficient, and the follow-up experiments involve the construction of base stations..."

"You want me to build a base station?"

Chen Xing was not an ignorant young man, he understood the subtext instantly.

"We need to build base stations." Qian Yu nodded and patiently explained: "Only by building preliminary 5G base stations for testing can we ensure the final commercial use of the network."

"I'll ask back."

Chen Xing thought of Ren Guofei. Kunpeng Company's main business now is base station construction, and he should have a solution.

As for the venue issue…

When the construction of Kunpeng Wasteland was completed, the three fifteen-story R&D buildings with a total area of ​​[-] square meters were enough for them to squander.

As for SEG Technology Park, there are no experimental buildings for rent here. Even if Chen Xing wanted to rent one, he would not be able to evict people.

suddenly!

He thought of something again!
"In the experimental buildings next to them, do they usually have many people coming in and out?"

Chen Xing learned from security that there was a laboratory building rented by Apple next door, and he didn't know what they were doing inside.

Qian Yu shook his head and said doubtfully: "I'm not sure. There don't seem to be many people coming in and out. Why do you ask, CEO?"

"fine."

Chen Xing smiled and made a random excuse: "Just ask, so I won't disturb your work. I'll go to other laboratories to have a look."

"Good president."

While Qian Yu responded, he thoughtfully sent Chen Xing to the door.

……

After visiting several laboratories and learning about their latest scientific research progress, Chen Xing also "made up" new content for the press conference.

The speaker team already has dual-speaker high-quality speakers.

Bluetooth team, new Bluetooth technology has been put on the agenda, which can connect with other Bluetooth devices 30 meters away, and the delay will not exceed 0.5 seconds.

The operating system development team has developed based on the Linux kernel, and currently only less than 2% has been completed. Once the self-research and development is successful, it will be able to break away from the limitations of Android, but will be compatible with Android APPs.

The camera optics team can currently only produce 800-megapixel lenses, and more funds are needed to invest.

In the past few months, the Star Flash fast charging team has only increased the theoretical charging power from 300W to 340W, and the overall progress has fallen into a bottleneck period.

The battery improvement team, Gu Ren’s solid-state battery has made new progress, but not much, and it is still far away from commercial use. However, it is worth mentioning that they have increased the lithium battery capacity to 5500 mAh. Compared with two months ago, , increased by 1000 mA.

Because the Geek series is positioned as a gaming phone, for playing games, battery capacity is still very important.

While other laboratories have made breakthroughs, the laboratory responsible for screen materials has basically not made much progress.

This means that Longxing Technology Co., Ltd. cannot break away from the Korean Star M series in a short time. It is still the best screen assembly in the world.

After sorting out the progress of various laboratories, Chen Xing also gained the confidence to "fight".

As far as PPT is concerned, just blow it up and you’re done.

However, bragging is not just casual bragging, but bragging based on R&D progress.

Take the self-developed operating system as an example. It has only been developed to about 2% now. If Chen Xing officially announces it, what will happen next?

Therefore, we cannot blindly criticize the operating system. We can use technologies such as mobile phone batteries, Bluetooth, and speakers that have been initially implemented but are not commercially available to trick Apple.

Half truth and half lie are the most deadly!
However, what Chen Xing would not have expected is that Puke is actually a PPT manufacturing machine, and the Apple A9s chip is still in the trial production stage.

The two of them now want chips without chips, and mobile phones without mobile phones. They are preparing to hold a new product launch conference with just a PPT document.

Of course.

As Boss Jia said.

It is feasible to make a PPT machine, but only if it can be produced later.

If it can be made, it will be a new product launch. If it cannot be made, it will be pure commercial fraud.

Is Chen Xing worried about not being able to make it?
Do not!
He is not worried!
By releasing the Geek series in advance, he was not simply trying to irritate Pocket, but he wanted to take this opportunity to attract the attention of the West and let the bright star of Longxing Technology play its real role.
