Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1399: Chapter 665: Preparing the Test of the Universal Spaceship

Yixing Company sells spacecraft to the outside world, just like a technology manufacturing company sells computers.

Of course, a spacecraft is not as simple as a computer, but the situation is largely the same. Some companies sell computers around the world, and they certainly don’t have to worry about other companies cracking the secrets of computer manufacturing.

The technology of spacecraft is fundamentally uncrackable. Without sufficient theoretical support, the arrangement of internal light beams in the anti-gravity system is so complex that it’s completely incomprehensible, making imitation almost impossible.

Therefore, selling spacecraft does not involve issues of technological confidentiality.

Additionally, the main core and hull of modern spacecraft often use compressed materials. It would be impossible for imitators to purchase the relevant compressed materials used in manufacturing due to costs.

However, for Yixing Company to launch a main business of manufacturing and selling spacecraft is also quite a challenging task.

One challenge is the aspect of patents.

Yixing Company has purchased the anti-gravity technology patent from the aerospace group, but according to the patent agreement, using the technology for commercial sales certainly requires the payment of a certain percentage of patent fees.

This portion of the patent fees is also quite substantial, accounting for about ten percent of the final sales amount.

Furthermore, domestic policies on the sales of the latest technological merchandise are still not perfect. There is no established legal or regulatory framework related to this.

High-level authorities are currently researching this issue, and it is believed that relevant policy documents will soon be issued.

Zhao Yi spent an entire day in meetings at Yixing Company and then worked for over three hours in the office before completing his demanding tasks.

By ten o’clock in the evening, as soon as he saw the message on his phone, he hurried home.

He had been busy lately, not having returned home for a continuous month and a half, and he felt a bit guilty, thinking he owed his family and that he should spend time with them despite being busy with work.

When he arrived home, he had just entered when he saw Liu Jing and Zhao Hongjuan were both there. Knowing Zhao Yi was coming back, they had waited up late.

"You’re back!" freewebnovёl.ƈom

"I’ve made you dinner, eat something before you sleep!" Liu Jing hurriedly brought the food to the table.

Zhao Hongjuan complained, "Your mom and I were just talking about it, your job, going away for more than a month, is it really that important?"

"The Mars Mission, can’t help it," Zhao Yi said somewhat helplessly. He still went upstairs first to check on Lin Xiaoqing in the bedroom.

Lin Xiaoqing was lulling the child to sleep. When she saw Zhao Yi at the door, she immediately smiled, put her finger to her lips, and made a ’shush’ gesture, whispering, "Just fell asleep!"

"Mhm."

Zhao Yi walked over gently, sat on the edge of the bed, and gave Lin Xiaoqing a hug, "How about today, we let the child sleep with grandma? With my mom is fine too."

"No way!"

Lin Xiaoqing immediately refused, "The child will cry if they don’t see me."

"But—"

"That’s all you know!" Lin Xiaoqing complained, pressing her hand on a sensitive area, "Then—just be gentle!"

Her cheeks grew red as she finished speaking, and she continued, "You go and eat first."

"Alright."

Zhao Yi returned to the living room with frustration, ready to enjoy the late-night snack prepared by his mother, only to be surrounded by Liu Jing and Zhao Hongjuan.

"What’s up?" he asked, somewhat confused.

Liu Jing and Zhao Hongjuan looked at him seriously, as if interrogating a criminal.

Zhao Yi was puzzled.

It was then that Liu Jing said, "Recently, we’ve been talking to Qingqing, and it’s time for you guys to have a second child now that the policy allows it—"

"Blah blah blah—"

Liu Jing went on and on for quite some time, and Zhao Hongjuan quickly jumped in when she took a breath, "Exactly! The first one is a girl, so have another one for a pair of dragon and phoenix. It’s better to have a lively home with children having companions—"

"Blah blah blah—"

Zhao Yi felt his head swelling with the chatter.

Although national policy did indeed allow for a second child, and his financial situation definitely allowed it, having children was a vexing matter.

For instance, having a little baby beside you while you sleep at night.

Cough cough.

That’s not important.

In any case, if it can be avoided, then avoid it. There’s a saying about leaving the blessing of children and grandchildren to themselves, which in Chinese culture meant there’s always some way to reason out such matters.

Zhao Yi still did not object, knowing he could never win an argument with two middle-aged women. He simply closed his mouth and let it go in one ear and out the other, deciding to consider the matter sometime in the future.

It was a tough night.

After not being home for a month and a half, he still had to undertake a long period of physical labor, which was truly exhausting.

The next day, Zhao Yi slept until eleven o’clock before he groggily got up, slipped on his slippers, took a shower, and came downstairs to find the place lively.

Lin Xudong had come over.

Zhao Hongjuan was entertaining the child with building blocks, and at the coffee table, Zhao Zhenxi, Lin Xudong, and Lin Xiaoqing were playing cards. Upon a closer look, he realized they were playing the classic card game—Fight the Landlord.

In front of Lin Xudong was a pile of cash, all in ten and twenty yuan notes. The amount of money wasn’t significant, but the meaning of winning at cards was about the joy of defeating others.

Lin Xudong was in such high spirits as he looked at his hand and boasted, "Don’t think I don’t play cards usually, but Fight the Landlord, this is where I excel."

"I can tell with just a glance at the hand."

"You see on TV now, there are programs that feature Fight the Landlord competitions. If I weren’t a police officer, I’d definitely call in to participate. I’d become a champion and win a bottle of Moutai Liquor!"
