Chapter 641: In the end, we are just a part of the play

In the office, Ji Yunshi told Xu Qingzhou the details of today's negotiation in detail, then handed the meeting minutes to him and got up to say goodbye.

Negotiation, after all.

It was basically putting the conditions of both sides on the table, and then discussing and tugging bit by bit.

When Xu Qingzhou was reading the meeting minutes, Song Yao also finished the meeting with the people from Zero Point Technology and came in.

"Finished?"

Xu Qingzhou closed the document.

"Hmm, I'm letting them organize the documents. Luo Sen reported that the United States has already pressed the equipment purchase plan, wanting to put pressure on us."

The equipment procurement plan was exactly as the two of them had expected. During the negotiation period, the United States cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to audit the equipment purchased by the research institute.

Luo Sen arranged for Ella Johnson, an employee of the offshore company, to go to Germany, preparing to advance the second procurement plan synchronously.

As she spoke, Song Yao had already hung up her clothes, hugged Xu Qingzhou from behind, and said pitifully: "So tired."

Xu Qingzhou nodded.

"You sit over there for a while first."

Xu Qingzhou turned his head, pecked the girl on the face, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me 10 minutes, there is another project application that needs our signature."

During this period, the research institute submitted 3 more project proposals.

Among them, there was also a study on the miniaturization of superconducting magnets, which was quite interesting.

"Old Ji told you about the situation of today's negotiation, right?" Song Yao let go of Xu Qingzhou, took the tablet to the sofa, and prepared to look at the materials.

"Told me, it's within expectations, the rest depends on who makes concessions."

"Shouldn't you arrange the black box plan, and see how to turn the ALD coating temperature control algorithm, graphene interface doping process, etc., into encrypted modules."

"You reminded me..."

The negotiation lasted for 2 days. This was the first stage of negotiation, and the second stage would start after the Spring Festival.

ITER basically determined to declare the ITER-related technology development plan, use its low-temperature irradiation device (-269C/20T) for free to verify performance, enter the ITER backup technology pool, and replace the US Luvata or EU suppliers.

This meant that the subsequent superconducting magnets for ITER would be supplied by the Xia Nation's production line.

Of course, the core process referred to the magnetic flux algorithm mode of the German Max Planck Institute, encapsulated as a black box, and only authorized third-party equipment to call the interface.

Black box encapsulation, burning the ALD equipment controller in the form of binary firmware, compiling the ALD deposition temperature gradient, YO nano-doping technology, quantum-level interface engineering, etc., of the patent technology of the Nb3Sn superconducting thin film without substrate based on ALD and graphene substrate into encrypted DLL files.

Through the dual black box encapsulation of "process parameter firmware + material formula technology secrecy," the balance between technology protection and commercialization was realized.

As for the separate institution, currently, the only one fully finalized was the German Max Planck Institute, which would use the superconducting thin film for the W7-X stellarator upgrade project.

As long as the patent is licensed out, there is a risk of reverse engineering. After all, many spherical aberration electron microscopes can now analyze the atomic layer structure of thin films.

Analysis is analysis, but wanting to imitate, and then through parameter adjustment, avoiding their patent litigation while maintaining the original performance, will probably still take some time.

This kind of intergenerational superconducting thin film cannot be hidden.

Unless the Xia Nation only uses it in confidential projects such as nuclear fusion, power grids, and medical fields, as long as these fields are involved, the technology will be exposed.

If not used...

It feels a bit like killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred oneself.

This was also the reason why Xu Qingzhou announced the technology generously at the beginning.

No matter how you look at it, the patent must be licensed out; the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
