Chapter 863: Get a Patent First!

Zhuang Bingchang still had a lot of half-finished experiments to finish, and Chang Haonan's breeding and desert transformation were long-term projects that would take years to complete, so he really didn't care about the effort of these few days.

Therefore, the former finally proposed to arrange his trip a week later.

Chang Haonan immediately agreed.

"A week later... won't it be a bit long?"

Zhai Mingguo asked after hanging up the phone.

In fact, he just wanted to ask Zhuang Bingchang to try to arrive a few days earlier, but Chang Haonan agreed too quickly and didn't leave him any time.

While speaking, Zhai Mingguo also glanced at He Guangyou next to him.

He and Chang Haonan worked in Beijing, so it didn't matter, but He Guangyou's trip to Beijing was considered a business trip.

These days, the funding for colleges and universities is not that sufficient.

Especially the Mongolian Agricultural University is just an ordinary provincial college.

Otherwise, He Guangyou wouldn't have brought a box of floppy disks instead of a computer.

"It's not a big problem."

Chang Haonan also noticed Zhai Mingguo's eyes.

But he had his own solution:

"I'll contact the Aviation Power First Guesthouse later and let Professor He stay there for a few days."

When the Aviation Industry Corporation was split, its non-core business departments were naturally divided into two groups.

This Aviation Power First Guesthouse is the 625th Guesthouse of the former headquarters.

Last year, together with the 625th (Aviation Manufacturing Technology Research Institute) itself, it was incorporated into the name of the Aviation Power Group.

The note approved by Chang Haonan can naturally be used.

Zhai Mingguo next to him directly retreated tactically, with an expression on his face that said "I can actually play like this, I'm so disrespectful."

"Then during this week...is there anything I need to do?"

Beside him, He Guangyou had not had time to react before he was clearly arranged.

But it's not nice to eat and live for free...

"Hmm..."

Chang Haonan lowered his head and thought seriously, and finally he found a job:

"I plan to write the patent this week, but the patent specification may involve some background technology and other content. I don't know much about the parts related to desertification and agronomy. Professor He, can you help me?"

He Guangyou just rushed to Beijing from Qingcheng today, and he didn't know much about what happened in the past few days. He just thought that Chang Haonan had been researching this technology for a while and was about to enter industrialization, so it was natural to register a wave of patents.

So he simply nodded:

"Okay, I have a lot of them in my floppy disk. When the time comes, tell me the specific needs, and I will find a computer to modify it a little."

However, Zhai Mingguo's reaction was completely different.

After listening to Chang Haonan's words, he even had a moment of confusion on his face.

It was not until He Guangyou nodded to express his opinion that he came back to his senses:

"Wait... wait a minute."

"Patent?"

Others may not know, but Zhai Mingguo witnessed the whole process of this desert improvement project from scratch.

Chang Haonan only proposed this idea at the meeting at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics last week.

And it was obvious that he had this idea after listening to Lu Jinhui's report.

It was not something that had been studied before.

Originally, according to Zhai Mingguo's idea, this visit to Chang Haonan, and even after Zhuang Bingchang came, should all be considered preliminary research.

After the general direction is determined, then enter the serious research and development process.

How come the intermediate steps disappeared directly, and it went directly to the step of registering a patent?

"Yes."

Chang Haonan nodded as a matter of course.

"No... Didn't we just bring up this idea at the last meeting?"

Zhai Mingguo showed a puzzled expression:

"Do you already know what specific materials can be used to transform the sand from a discrete state to a rheological state?"

Chang Haonan then realized why the other party looked like he had seen a ghost.

In less than a week, he certainly couldn't have determined the final materials.

Even if he cheated, it wouldn't work.

This "desert soilification" project has just reached the point in the system where a few major material categories have been framed through numerical calculations.

More specific formulas and even process techniques still need to be tested continuously.

But writing patents doesn't require these.

As long as the principle of a patent works, it doesn't matter whether it is feasible in practice.

Just like before Chang Haonan was reborn, there was a period of time when the smog was very serious, so someone registered a patent for a large manual fan to fan away the smog.

Although everyone knows that this thing is impossible to operate, as long as the principle can be explained (and the patent application and service fees are paid), it can still be passed.

It's just that no one will use it.

After all, if the Patent Office is also responsible for verifying the feasibility of patents one by one, it will become a bottomless pit of funds.

"Of course, it is not clear what materials to use."

Chang Haonan smiled and shook his head:

"But for patents, first register several materials with application potential, which is considered to occupy a place, and then add some details when the results are produced in the future."

Zhai Mingguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he thought about it.

This seems a bit exaggerated...

"We haven't done any specific experiments yet, how do you know which materials may have a future?"

He asked with some confusion:

"You can't just register all the commonly used materials, right?"

"Of course it's impossible..."

Chang Haonan shook his head:

"Let's not talk about whether the patent office will allow this. Even if it is allowed, there are thousands of material types, especially polymer materials. I'm afraid I will be exhausted just writing the application..."

"That……"

Zhai Mingguo felt that he could hardly recognize the world anymore.

"This involves the new discipline I am currently studying, the field of computational materials science."

Chang Haonan leaned his upper body back and began to explore his new research field:

"In general, the key properties of sandy soil are the multi-directional constraints formed between soil particles, and the external properties are rheology, shear strength, compressive strength, stiffness..."

"Fortunately, these are relatively simple and direct mechanical parameters, and I have some knowledge of numerical calculations, so I tried to establish a mathematical model for the interaction between sand and soil particles."

"Judging from the results, the effect is pretty good. I found several modified cellulose and biodegradable polymers that meet my requirements. I plan to register them all this time."

Zhai Mingguo:

"..."

He Guangyou:

"..."

Although Chang Haonan said a lot, he did not disclose the specific calculation method——

In fact, even if it is revealed, it is unlikely that the two people next to him who are engaged in geology and agronomy will understand it.

So he is not worried about risks such as patent leakage.

What I just mentioned is actually not even a results report.

It can only be regarded as strengthening the confidence of this newly formed research team.

And so far, the effect seems to be pretty good...
