Chapter 2383: Technical Review
"I personally feel there isn't much of a problem, but it's not up to me; it's up to the Technical Review Committee. I will help you submit it, and regardless of whether it passes or not, they will issue a review opinion. You just need to make changes according to that."
Tuto did not give a guarantee on the spot, but he did point out a feasible direction. The so-called "Technical Review Committee" was an organization similar to a patent office, but it was responsible for much more, especially various compliance reviews, which were the top priority.
But as long as it passed, it meant that a certain technology or product could head to the market and to the public; registering a patent afterward was merely going through the motions.
Although Xia Duo's Projection had been here for over a year, he had spent most of his time learning during this period, and as for the memories of Maruente, he did not have much understanding of this aspect.
He only had some understanding when he was at the Specialized College, but for the current Xia Duo, it was of little help.
Xia Duo could certainly ask Gelinqi, but the matter of the Inspiration Headband ultimately could not bypass Instructor Tuto, so he might as well handle it all at once.
Next, he spent two days looking up relevant technical standards, then remade several Inspiration Headbands, and handed them over to Instructor Tuto along with a detailed report on the Principles.
After that, Xia Duo became immersed in study and practice and almost forgot about this matter, until half a month later, when he received a reply from the Red Heart Alliance Technical Review Committee. It was a long and wordy text, but summarized, there were only three points to note—
First, the Inspiration Headband involves the Domain of consciousness, and in principle, it is not allowed to be sold on the market;
Second, the Inspiration Headband has strategic significance; the Alliance will produce it in designated factories and distribute it to research institutions in need;
Third, Xia Duo is invited to join a rectification group to rectify some details of the Inspiration Headband.
The first point was somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations, but with the second point in place, it could be considered an acceptable result. As for building his own factory for production, it was actually not as good as sitting back and collecting patent fees.
Almost all factories here in the Red Heart Alliance were collectively owned. Through taxes, worker benefits, and other means, almost all profits were squeezed dry. Even if one invested in building a factory themselves, taxes were unavoidable, and what remained was mostly cost-cutting.
But the biggest cost—labor—even if one wanted to squeeze it, the workers would not agree, or rather, if the benefits were not as good as other factories, why would people come to your side?
The current Red Heart Alliance has almost effectively ended the existence of the bourgeoisie. Operating a factory is truly just because one likes operating a factory, and engaging in other commercial activities is just because one likes it, not to exploit others or plunder social wealth.
The Alliance's reply that the Technical Committee would designate factories to produce the Inspiration Headband was actually similar to the planned economy of Xia Duo's hometown. Those within the plan were evaluated and formulated with corresponding production plans by the Alliance Planning Committee.
As for the third point, requiring Xia Duo to participate in a rectification group, it actually meant that the Inspiration Headband he currently submitted still had areas that did not meet technical standards or other regulations.
Participating in the rectification group could earn quite a few Research Sequence Points, as well as a small amount of Organization Sequence Points. Of course, if he did not participate, it would not have much impact on the determination of the patent subject, except that the points would be gone, and others would share the patent.
As for the patent, Xia Duo did not care, but he cared very much about Research Sequence Points. After the eleventh year of university, he could earn a certain amount of points for every bit of coursework completed, and if he did independent projects, the points were even higher.
But after all, these were all points during university; if they did not count as independent projects, no matter how many there were, it was limited. And independent projects required competing with other classes in the same college (not necessarily the same grade), so Xia Duo could not place all his hopes on this.
He would not let go of any opportunity that could earn Research Sequence Points. Only in this way could he promote to Researcher at the fastest speed, thereby obtaining the original Advanced Permission Level for the Alliance Mythallar.
And considering the past resume of "Maruente," the Technical Review Committee arranged the position of Technical Consultant for Xia Duo in the Inspiration Headband rectification group.
He only needed to attend regular discussion meetings; he did not need to worry about the rest of the research, testing, and so on. Xia Duo had no dissatisfaction with this. What could be more beautiful than getting Research Sequence Points without having to put in any effort!
Participating in the research and testing throughout the whole process would certainly earn more points, but it would undoubtedly delay his current studies. A single Inspiration Headband rectification was not enough to make him make such a choice.
According to his speculation, the so-called rectification group was most likely composed of researchers drafted from research institutions in the Red Heart Alliance that specialized in the study of the mind Domain. Xia Duo did not think he could be more professional than those researchers.
The Inspiration Headband was indeed worthy of strategic significance, but what he provided was nothing more than a creative idea. He believed that with the current technological development of the Red Heart Alliance, they were fully capable of casting him aside and redesigning a more perfect consciousness-sharing mechanism.
He strongly suspected that the current rectification of the Inspiration Headband was just a technical verification. Once it was deemed feasible, it would likely be directly reflected in the Mythallar.
Of course, this was at the technical level. At the theoretical level, whether it was the Principles of consciousness sharing or consciousness safety Protection, it would not be too far from Xia Duo's original judgment.
From this perspective, participating in the Inspiration Headband rectification group organized by the Technical Review Committee, besides being able to get points, was also a perfect supplement for Xia Duo to his own new technology in the mind Domain.
Soon, the semester came to an end, but this time it was just that the study and practice plan was completed; it did not mean that half a year had passed. Just looking at the "Implementation and Control of Basic Equation Mythallar" for this semester, Class 4 was slightly faster than other classes.
But in the first two semesters, Class 4 did not rush the progress, so in the overall progress of the Maze Lock Design Major, Class 4 still lagged behind other classes, but the speed of catching up was very fast, and in this point, it was also recognized by Instructor Tuto.
The reason was simple: Xia Duo had already started applying the Inspiration Headband in Class 4. The Technical Review Committee had not yet fully passed it, and the rectification group was still carrying out rectifications, but there was no big problem using the existing version himself.
The "himself" here naturally included the class he was in. Of course, further spreading it was not allowed, at least not until it passed all the reviews of the Technical Review Committee.
Besides the Inspiration Headband itself, Xia Duo's role could not be ignored.
After more than ten discussion meetings of the Inspiration Headband rectification group, he determined that the Red Heart Alliance could not parse consciousness information, but he could.
In other words, only the consciousness sharing or Mind Link that he participated in was the most efficient. This point would not have any surprises even when the day came for the Inspiration Headband to be popularized.
