Protect Our Chief

"No problem." Wang Ningxi readily agreed as well. In fact, he didn’t have many channels to handle invention creation technologies; giving them to Wang Yinglai to operate was one of the best options.

Internally, the Wang Family always encourages various innovations; those capable of innovating often reap significant contribution points.

However, the Wang Family also does not allow its members to privately authorize externally to seek benefits after innovating, or simply operate private assets independently or cooperatively with external parties.

Clan members privately managing assets are a taboo for the family because it inevitably results in disputes of interest or secretly damages the family’s collective interest.

Furthermore, if this door is opened, there will inevitably be more clan members investing in and managing private assets, leading the family to a state of personal division and collapse.

"Alright, alright." Wang Yinglai, being a decisive and bold businesswoman, immediately called upon several professional Artifact Refiners under her command after signing the authorization contract with Wang Ningxi.

One of them, a brawny "middle-aged man" named Wang Qi, was a Second-Grade Refiner with a Spirit Platform Realm cultivation, trained by the Wang’s Artifact Refining Headquarters as a household general refiner.

Don’t be fooled by his seemingly unintelligent appearance; he had mastered the methods to refine three types of spiritual artifacts. He had successfully refined nine pieces of lower-grade spiritual artifacts, especially excelling at crafting agricultural tool samples according to schematics.

The rest were his apprentices, all of whom were Junior-Grade Refiners at the Qi Refining Realm.

"Greetings, Mr. Qi." Upon seeing Wang Qi, Wang Ningxi immediately saluted. The reason was simple; Wang Qi also held the position of guest lecturer for artifact refining courses at the Wang Clan Academy, sparing time yearly to teach elite courses.

"Ah, it’s Ningxi." Wang Qi also had a deep impression of Wang Ningxi, who had a noble status, was intelligent and eager to learn, and yet remained humble and low-key, often asking questions that stumped him as a teacher.

Unfortunately... Alas~

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

"Mr. Qi, could you and your team please handcraft a sample according to the schematic?" Wang Yinglai cut directly to the topic, "Please consider the feasibility of mass production during the refining process."

The Wang Family places great value and respect on technical talents, and Wang Yinglai, being the general manager, was quite courteous to a Second-Grade Refiner.

After researching for a while, Wang Qi confidently nodded and said, "For such a marvel, I could use refined steel from a blast furnace to craft circular blades and some key components, along with the main axle, while the rest of the frame and counterweight could utilize regular carbon steel to reduce costs."

Many inventions are like this; before they are created, they are often blank slates. But once crafted, to technical talents, the ingenuity becomes strikingly clear.

Thus.

The team under Wang Qi started refining the item.

Meanwhile, with the help of Wang Yinglai, Wang Ningxi began to standardize the drawing and copyright statement, then submitted it through Changning Guard’s government office, delivering it to Gui Long City’s Technical and Copyright Arbitration Department via official channels.

This department was established under the strong advocacy of the Gongye Family, largely because the Gongye Family, as the pioneer of technological advancement within Daqian, had suffered long from piracy and imitators.

When facing weak family’s piracy, the Gongye Family could deal with it forcefully; however, when it came to blatant theft of technology by a family like the Zhao Family, the Gongye Family was naturally helpless.

This resulted in significant discord between the Gongye Family and the Zhao Family. Although other families also engaged in theft, they at least exercised some restraint; the Zhao Family was the most shameless.

Back when Emperor Longchang was in power and the Zhao Family controlled the Inner Pavilion, proposals like these were suppressed and not passed.

When the Daqian Wang Family took control of the Inner Pavilion and Emperor’s Son An oversaw the country, the proposal that the Gongye Family had pursued for hundreds of years finally came to fruition, and under Wang Shouzhe’s assistance and suggestion, Daqian established the Technical Department.

The Technical Department is somewhat akin to the patent office Wang Shouzhe knew from his past life but under the full support and promotion of Emperor’s Son An, this new institution wields significant authority; once technical infringement is confirmed, it can impose massive fines and compensation to the offending party.

The specifics of its operations and rules are not elaborated upon now.

In any case, today’s Daqian has taken the first step towards copyright protection, and it will undoubtedly become more refined in the future.

During this time period.

Wang Ningxi went nowhere but made the civilian tools factory his home.

In a blink, more than ten days passed.

Xinping Town’s Wang’s Thirteen Farm.

It’s a large farm with fifty thousand acres of ordinary farmland, over two hundred acres of lower-grade spirit fields, all planted with Wang Family’s high-quality grain seed. Just beside the farm, roughly ten thousand acres of wild land remained uncleared.

This wild land, the closer it gets to Yanjiang Mountain Range, the more rubble it contains in its soil, with wild grass growing thickly, making it difficult to clear. While using a chisel plow to reclaim the land, it easily jams in stone crevices. This inferior land requires farm tenant farmers to expand and reclaim little by little, and it’s very labor-intensive.

One day.

The civilian tools factory’s general manager Wang Yinglai, deputy manager Wang Shiyin, as well as Yinglai’s assistant Wang Xuannan, along with Wang Ningxi and Wang Qi, all arrived at Thirteen Farm.

The farm manager is also a member of the Wang Family, named Wang Anrong, a great-grandson from Wang Shouyi’s branch, being the sixth rank in the An Generation and currently in his nineties.

But compared to his younger brothers Wang Anye, Wang Anxin, Wang Anrui, who were not much younger, Wang Anrong appeared considerably more "ordinary," with bloodline talent barely qualifying as a Little Celestial Pride, and his cultivation remained stuck at the peak of the Fourth Layer in the Spirit Platform Realm.
