I asked you to modify it, what the hell is this fighter jet's engine?

Gao Xiaoguang continued, "Since our products are so popular, why don't the Huo merchants increase their orders and show no intention of placing any more tractor orders?"

"Yes, our prices are low, so why don't the Huo merchants place orders for our products anymore?" Liu Dekui asked curiously.

Everyone present was also curious. Although exporting 13000 tractors would lose money but gain publicity, if the Huo merchants continued to place orders, it would open up a way for Longguo to earn foreign exchange.

“It’s because of the patent.”

"What? A patent can make Huo merchants afraid to place tractor orders again?" Everyone was in disbelief.

"Leaders, please do not underestimate 'patents'. Patents are not only used by the United States, but also by John Bull and its European and American allies.

The reason why businessman Huo stopped placing orders is because someone else registered our tractor patent first.

If Huo merchants try to sell our tractors in Southeast Asia, they will face heavy fines."

"Why should foreigners register the tractors we developed and manufactured? This is simply robbery!" said Leader Wei.

The other leaders were also indignant, calling the foreigners bandits.

"Boss, according to the Patent Law, whoever first applies for a tractor patent and has it successfully approved will own the patent.

Moreover, if other companies or individuals want to use a patent, they must obtain authorization from the patent holder and pay patent royalties before they can use the patent.

In other words, if we want to continue exporting our tractors, we must obtain patent authorization for "tractors" and pay high patent royalties before we can continue exporting.

This is also the main reason why Huo merchants stopped placing orders, and it is also the reason why I asked Comrades Xiang Hu and Qiu Xiangqiang to develop a new two-cylinder tractor."

Gao Xiaoguang explained the various rights and interests of patents in a concise and clear manner, and the leaders present finally had a general understanding of them.

At this moment, Wei, the leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building, immediately picked up the red phone on the table and called the foreign affairs department. After hanging up the phone, his face was gloomy.

"What happened to Lao Wei?" asked the leader of the Second Ministry of Machine Building.

"As Comrade Xiaoguang said, although the businessman Huo didn't say it explicitly, it's probably because of the patent issue."

"Hmph! It seems that we didn't hurt the American Empire enough in the past few years!" The old man from the General Staff slammed the table angrily.

Gao Xiaoguang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "If... the Jagdpanther off-road vehicle engine, three-point seat belts, hydraulic shock absorbers and other equipment are not patented and are registered by foreigners, we will not be able to fight back or export them, and will just keep the door closed and do it ourselves.

They don’t dare to come to our Dragon Country to collect patent fees, but if it is registered by Taiwan, that would be disgusting..."

The leaders present put themselves in the situation of Wanwan rushing to register a patent for an off-road vehicle, and felt nauseous instantly.

"Comrade Xiaoguang, thank you for your reminder. It helped the organization to prevent Longguo from suffering heavy losses. The three of us will report the patent matter to the top leaders now." Several leaders stood up to express their gratitude.

When Gao Xiaoguang, Liu Dekui and others just walked to the door, the old man from the General Logistics Department spoke.

"Comrades Liu Dekui and Ou Hongzhi, immediately raise the laboratory's confidentiality level from level three to level two.

We will also conduct an audit of all files in the laboratory. If any doubts are found in the files during the audit, they will be immediately referred to the General Staff for follow-up."

"Yes! x2"

Liu Dekui and Ou Hongzhi convened a joint meeting, while Gao Xiaoguang returned to the laboratory to check the assembly progress of the off-road vehicle in the laboratory workshop and the 100H parameters of the engine test.

He learned from Xiang Xiyong that Xiang Hu and Qiu Xiangqiang were assembling a two-cylinder 35-horsepower diesel engine.

This time, Gao Xiaoguang did not rely on the incredible computing power of the space tablet, but instead used the mechanical knowledge in his mind to conduct on-site teaching of the two-cylinder engine.

He also pointed out the flaws in the cylinder diameter design and gave Xiang Hu and Qiu Xiangqiang ideas for improvement.

The two of them were so excited that they didn't even bother to eat and excitedly started working on improving the cylinder diameter.

Afterwards, two young mechanical military experts were seen working with the eighth-level workers to assemble the third Hunting Tiger off-road vehicle.
