So they decided to fall back to a secondary option, relaxing some domain restrictions to engage in related negotiations.

Everyone knew "time is money."

After the meeting concluded, they swiftly dispatched representatives to negotiate technology blockades issues with domestic parties—a process resembling haggling.

The domestic side proposed an import list, and they countered accordingly; usually, the items were ’discounted’ and approved. Core technologies and equipment were definitely not negotiable, but items without direct impact could be readily approved.

The negotiations ended quickly.

Because everything was planned, the domestic list was prepared in advance, and the negotiations proceeded rapidly. Other countries also hoped to wrap up the negotiations quickly to then discuss the much-anticipated ’anti-gravity technology’.

...

Negotiations related to ’anti-gravity technology’ extended over a month.

This negotiation wasn’t just about publicly disclosing the technology but also about establishing the relevant research order, forming organizations responsible for managing the application of the technology, and so on.

More than a dozen countries agreed on a protocol regarding ’anti-gravity technology,’ which kickstarted the public disclosure of the anti-gravity technology.

After all protocols were agreed upon, a press conference was called, starting with a classification of anti-gravity technology—

"Anti-gravity is a civilian scientific research technology, mainly intended for future space exploration!"

Civilian was the keyword.

"No institutions, companies, or teams engaged in anti-gravity research and development are permitted to apply anti-gravity technology in the military realm."

Domestically, preparations had been made in advance.

As for anti-gravity technology, the current main focus was constructing aerial fortresses, which need not be declared for military purposes; they could potentially be presented as for researching ’controlled nuclear fusion’ in the future.

In reality, such provisions were nearly meaningless and would only restrict legitimate businesses, institutions, and participating smaller countries from "military use."

Major powers were unrestricted.

However, some standards still needed to be set, "No country, enterprise, group, or institution engaging in anti-gravity research may manufacture large anti-gravity devices exceeding fifty meters in diameter."

This was to prevent interference with the operation of space satellites.

Many other provisions aimed to ensure that research into anti-gravity did not disturb satellites, airplanes, and the like, essentially ensuring research safety.

The publication of a series of regulations made it seem like everyone was familiar with anti-gravity technology; however, up to that point, neither the theory nor the technology had been released due to the involvement of ’research funding’ and patent issues.

It was impossible for domestic entities to disclose anti-gravity technology without compensation. During negotiations, they mentioned the substantial funds invested, starting at billions of dollars.

While everyone recognized it as a high starting bid, given the critical nature of anti-gravity technology, no one could refute the claimed high research and development costs.

Research funding had to be recouped.

It was nearly impossible for other countries to pay such significant costs directly, so the focus had to shift to patents.

That was why anti-gravity technology was explicitly classified for civilian use.

However, the domestic side kept their promise, and Zhao Yi’s theoretical group went on to publicly publish the fundamental Photon Anti-gravity Theory.

...

When everything was settled, Zhao Yi returned to Yanhua University, and he had long since organized the basic Photon Anti-gravity Theory.

This part of the theory only supported ’understanding the mathematical logic of photon anti-gravity.’ To create an anti-gravity device based on this, at least five more years of research were required, and the result would still be an inferior product.

For instance, it would consume a copious amount of energy to support merely ten percent of anti-gravity effect.

Mathematical logic does not equate to technology.

With foundational mathematical logic, it might take twenty, thirty years, or even longer to truly translate it into technology.

The international conference on anti-gravity had agreed to publish the basic theory, but there were no restrictions on where to release it.

Everyone expected it would be on an international academic journal or the content would be directly sent to well-known academic institutions and national-level science and technology departments, but Zhao Yi did not think so. Seeing an opportunity to give back to his alma mater, he was determined to seize it firmly. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Zhao Yi decided to publish in "Yanhua University’s Newspaper."

In both Chinese and English, dual version!

Zhao Yi, accompanied by Zhang Qican, went to meet the relevant person in charge, a woman in her thirties named Chen Shuwen, also an associate professor at the School of Life Sciences.

Chen Shuwen was sitting in her office and immediately stood up in a panic upon seeing Zhao Yi, "Big Zhao... Academician Zhao!"

"You are looking for Teacher Chen."

Zhao Yi smiled warmly, "You are in charge of ’Yanhua University’s Newspaper,’ right?"

"Yes, yes!"

"I have a mathematical paper I want to publish, and have decided to do it in our university’s school newspaper. There’s a Chinese and English version, and I expect it will have significant impact. What do you think... How can we arrange this?"

"Ah?"

Chen Shuwen was a bit stunned, mindlessly accepting a thick stack of papers and nearly collapsing upon seeing the title—Photon Anti-gravity Theory.

"Photon... anti-gravity?"

"Is this the principle behind the mysterious device? Academician Zhao... No, I didn’t mean to see this kind of secret... It’s not..."

Chen Shuwen was instantly flustered. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"It’s okay."

Zhao Yi smiled indifferently and said, "This is meant for public release. Don’t worry, it’s alright. However, after the publication, the subscription numbers will likely be quite high, so let’s see how you can arrange that. This is your area of expertise, we’ll leave it in your hands."
