Chapter 1165: Chapter 568: Anti-Gravity Device Exhibition_3

Most of the people present were considering civilian uses; major corporations and institutions develop cutting-edge technology not for military purposes but for technological upgrades and civilian issues.

For example, the Space Agency would consider using the anti-gravity device for astronaut training.

The Mickey Mouse Company would think about establishing a space weightlessness experience pavilion.

High-tech companies had a plethora of ideas. For instance, some contemplated constructing an "ever-floating" airborne fortress, "If we built a few offices on it and used it as a company meeting venue, just think how cool that would be!"

Others considered exploiting anti-gravity technology to create a "super sun," "If we elevated this big guy into the sky, we could produce an extra-powerful illumination lamp that would keep a city lit with no more nighttimes!"

"If its consumption is acceptable, it could stay afloat long-term, and the lighting alone would be sufficient."

"Then, by placing a few huge screens overhead, our commercials could loop there, and we’d no longer need to pay for advertising. Just by coming to this city and looking up, anyone would know about our company..."

"This idea is fantastic. If it’s just about calculating energy consumption, it’s certainly cheaper than exorbitant advertising costs!"

Amidst ongoing discussion, the anti-gravity device slowly descended.

This time, the device only rose two hundred meters to showcase its hovering capabilities, which was enough.

Next, it was time to formally enter the negotiation phase.

Everyone now had an understanding of what the anti-gravity technology could achieve and could roughly assess it. They had a day to deliberate before moving on to meetings and negotiations.

At that moment, everyone received a document outlining the patent licensing agreement proposed by the Aviation Group, as well as the types of anti-gravity devices available for public sale.

The patent license was the core, intended for public disclosure of the technology to interested businesses, institutions, and countries for subsequent research and development.

Zhao Yi explained, "Our patent licensing offers the complete theoretical knowledge and technology of the device, along with a basic anti-gravity device for free, and we’ll provide specialized personnel for related technical guidance."

Of course, the theory wasn’t entirely complete.

It included just the most fundamental theories, sufficient only to explain the high-energy beam structure principles in the anti-gravity devices for sale.

Should one wish to perform further research based on this, it would be necessary to study the theories more deeply or improve the related technologies.

The patent licensing plan was certainly the best option, but it was also exceedingly expensive.

The decision of the anti-gravity conference was that the Aviation Group would enjoy six years of commercial protection, during which no business or institution could build and sell anti-gravity devices or products using the same technology.

Commercial protection would last six years, while the patent would have a tenure of ten years.

Afterwards, the basic theories and technology related to anti-gravity would be published.

The patent license scheme required partners to either pay thirty billion dollars upfront for all patent rights, allowing them to research and develop based on anti-gravity technology and to manufacture higher-tech products from any resulting breakthroughs, with no restrictions other than a prohibition on military use.

If only the existing technology was used, it would be affected by the "commercial protection" clause.

Alternatively, they could pay eight hundred million dollars per year for five years to obtain the full patent license.

Furthermore, there were the anti-gravity devices for public sale.

The publicly sold anti-gravity devices did not have hovering capabilities, only anti-gravity effects, and were available in three tiers—

Single, double, and triple layers.

The prices varied accordingly.

The lowest-tier, single-layer device, with only forty percent anti-gravity effectiveness, was priced at thirty-five million dollars. The double layer cost sixty million dollars, and the highest-tier triple layer was eighty million dollars.

Additionally, the document included an extra note—individuals could also purchase anti-gravity devices and could even request custom designs, with the Group manufacturing products with appropriate functions based on customization demands.

This was specially prepared for wealthy individuals with specific needs.
