I Became Rich Relying on Black Tech Patents

All-around genius Dai Li, holder of tens of thousands of invention patents, transmigrated into a novel. She became a scandal-ridden female celebrity in an entertainment circle story, burdened with ...

Chapter 79 Seventy-ninth Patent

The child on the awning was in critical condition, and the residents downstairs were very worried.

The moment they saw the child sliding down, the people around were frightened and screamed. Some of the timid people didn't dare to look and simply covered their eyes.

The child's grandfather knelt on the ground with his whole body limp, almost fainting. Tears streamed down his weathered face, and he called the child's nickname in grief.

At this time, the police had not arrived yet, and the only protection was the sheets that the residents downstairs spontaneously pulled up, with several quilts underneath.

This kind of protection is not professional, but it can provide some cushioning effect and save the child's life.

The residents downstairs who were pulling up their bed sheets tensed their muscles, not even noticing that their muscles were trembling from the tension.

They stared intently at the child above their heads, their hands tightly grasped the bed sheets, and their feet took small steps left and right.

Seeing the child getting closer and closer to them, everyone's nerves were tense and they were talking and giving each other instructions.

"Pull out the sheet a little. You can't hold the child in that position."

"Hurry up and get more people to pull up the sheets. Young ones, come quickly! I'm worried we can't hold them!"

"Move over to me a little, the child is above my head."

"Be careful, the child is going to fall!"

Before they could finish their words, something shot out from the wall on the fifth floor. It was so fast that they couldn't see it with their naked eyes.

Then I saw the child falling to the sixth floor was wrapped by the ejected object and firmly fixed on the sixth floor.

The child's body also stopped falling rapidly.

The residents downstairs were all stunned when they saw such a scene for the first time.

It took a while before someone came to their senses and asked each other in confusion.

"What just happened? Why did the child stop moving after reaching the sixth floor?"

"Didn't you see it? Something suddenly popped out from the side and grabbed the child."

"Something popped out? Why didn't I see what it was?"

"Old Yang, your eyesight is failing. I saw it all. Something jumped out from beside Mrs. Zhao's house."

"You have good eyesight, so tell me, what happened?"

The residents present stammered and no one could say anything.

It’s not their fault that their eyesight is poor. It’s just that the anti-fall net is too thin and they can’t see it clearly from downstairs.

Some residents made speculations.

"It looks like a web to me."

"Come on, what kind of internet is like this? It's not even visible, how can it be called an internet?"

"If the net didn't hold the child, then can you explain to us all why the child was able to stay still on the wall?"

This person's interpretation made sense, and the others fell silent.

"So, a net really appeared and caught the child like a fish?"

"I think so too. That 'swish' is just like a fishing net."

"Who threw this net? I didn't see anyone."

"It seems to be automatic. I see the net flying over by itself."

"Even if it's automatic, it needs someone to operate it, right? How can the network start on its own without anyone operating it?"

Everyone looked everywhere for the person who activated the anti-fall net, but no one came forward.

At this time, someone finally remembered the high-altitude fall arrester installed some time ago.

"Do you think it could be that anti-falling object device they installed a while ago?"

"Protection against falling objects?"

This sentence helped the residents recall the high-altitude fall arrester that was installed more than half a month ago.

But residents are more skeptical about the high-altitude fall arrester.

"That's not right. Didn't Zhou Laojiu and Xu Liu try it? The anti-falling object device they installed that day was completely useless."

"That's right. Many of us have seen it. Their things have not been touched."

Many people watched the experiment on the day they conducted it, and saw with their own eyes that the high-altitude fall arrester had no reaction to the falling object.

There were no professional personnel present to explain the situation, so ordinary residents naturally could not reach a conclusion through discussion.

At the same time, police cars and fire trucks arrived one after another.

The child was at the window of a house on the sixth floor. By entering the house and opening the window, the child could be rescued.

The child was frightened and kept crying.

But no matter how he struggled and cried in the net, the anti-fall net did not move at all and held him firmly in the middle.

The anti-fall net is tightly woven and is tough and soft, which protects children from harm.

When the firefighters rescued the child, there were no obvious wounds on his body. The only injuries were caused by him bumping into the rain shelter.

The child's grandfather crawled up the stairs and hugged the child in his arms.

"Old people, please don't leave your children alone at home in the future. Close the windows if necessary," the police officer reminded.

"Although the child has no injuries, it is recommended that he be taken to the hospital for examination."

The child's grandfather agreed repeatedly and kept saying thank you.

On the sixth floor of the rescue site, some curious residents followed in. After the child was rescued, they stood by the window and leaned their heads out to check.

At close range, they finally saw the anti-fall net that was thinner than a hair.

The residents murmured in amazement.

"Oh my goodness, this is the net that caught the child. It's so thin, thinner than my hair."

“It’s like spider silk.”

"You reminded me, isn't it as thin as spider silk?"

The residents reached out tentatively, wanting to touch the silk thread of the anti-fall net.

The next second, the anti-fall net was retracted immediately with a "whoosh", just as sudden as when it was ejected, which scared everyone present.

"Why did you take it away again?"

"I don't know. Where did he go?"

Everyone was confused, but the firefighters who responded to the scene were calm and didn't seem curious about the net at all.

What they didn't know was that the fire department had been equipped with portable high-altitude fall arresters and had trained with them countless times.

Someone among the residents spoke up and stopped the firefighter who was about to finish work and return to his team.

"Young man, do you know what kind of net that was just now?"

The firefighters at the scene looked at each other and said with amusement, "This is the high-altitude fall arrester installed in your building. Don't you know it?"

"Ah?" The residents' reactions were surprisingly consistent.

"Otherwise, what do you think caught the child?"

Residents have too many questions to figure out.

"But we tried it before and it didn't work."

"We saw it with our own eyes. Towels and tissue bags were thrown upstairs, but the net never came out once."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, how come the net came out when the child fell?"

The firefighters at the scene replied: "The anti-fall net is controlled by a very intelligent system. If towels and tissues that do not cause harm fall from a high-rise building, the anti-fall net will not be deployed."

The residents were stunned: "That net is so clever?"

Firefighter: "If it's not smart enough, how can we ensure everyone's safety?"

Since the situation at the scene was not complicated and the child had not suffered any accident, the firefighters and police officers drove away quickly.

They came and went in a hurry, but the residents were completely furious about the accident that happened today.

They vividly described today's thrilling scene to their neighbors and took the time to explain it to everyone who didn't know about it.

The fall prevention and control device has once again become a topic of conversation after dinner.

"You didn't see it at the scene. That anti-fall net flew out of Zhao Yaopo's house in an instant. It was as fast as lightning, and you couldn't even see it clearly."

"The silk inside is thinner than a hair, just like spider silk. It wrapped up Old Man Qiu's eldest grandson and stuck him to the wall of Old Zhang's house on the sixth floor."

"After Old Man Qiu's eldest grandson rescued him, he quickly retracted the net. He was quite clever."

After hearing their wonderful stories, those who were unable to see it in person felt a little regretful and especially wanted to see with their own eyes how magical the so-called anti-fall net was.

Fortunately, someone recorded the incident with their mobile phone and posted it in the community group.

Before long, almost all the residents of the old street saw the entire process of the child being in danger and being rescued from the video.

The quality of the video is not very good. The anti-fall net that was not visible to the naked eye at the scene is even more difficult to see in the video. The residents of the old street can only rely on their own brains to imagine the anti-fall net described by their neighbors.

Although they couldn't see the important anti-fall net clearly, they could feel the danger the child was in through the video. The tense atmosphere at the scene made it seem so rare for the child to survive.

No one could imagine that if the child had not been installed with a high-altitude fall arrester, he would probably be in great danger now.

Although the incident has passed, the residents of the old street are still scared.

"Fortunately, I didn't stop them from installing the network. If they hadn't installed it that day, the Qiu family's grandson would probably be dead today."

"I remember that he was the most opposed to the installation on the day, and he even stopped the boss who came to install it and wouldn't let him leave."

"I was scared then, afraid of radiation. If I had known their net was so useful, there's no way I could have stopped them."

"Don't tell me, people in other buildings used to laugh at the internet we installed, but now things have changed and they envy us for having that internet installed."

Among the residents of the entire street, more than half of the families have children. Although the probability of falling from a building is extremely low, accidents are unpredictable and someone's family might encounter such a thing. Installing a fall arrester provides an extra layer of protection.

Last year, a family on the street had a bad luck. They hired someone to install an air conditioner, but the installer accidentally slipped and fell, and died on the spot. Afterwards, the owner of the house paid more than 100,000 yuan in compensation to the installer's family.

No one wants to encounter this kind of unexpected disaster, so everyone is competing to inquire about high-altitude fall arrest devices.

"Someone even asked me today how to find someone to install it. How would I know?"

"I remember Aunt Li has their company's business card, right?"

"You know Aunt Li, she never puts things away. I don't know where they were thrown away."

As a result, no one had the contact information of the production company and had no way to consult. Other residents of the old street could only look at Xiao Min's building with envy.

After the video of the child falling from a building and getting into danger spread among residents, it was naturally uploaded to public platforms on the Internet.

The resident who shared the video was the one who filmed it. He uploaded it to his own account. The main purpose of the title was to remind netizens to pay attention to their children at home. By the way, he mentioned the high-altitude fall arrester and said that it saved the child's life.

He had very few followers, and few people watched his videos at first.

The real reason why his videos became popular was "supernatural phenomena".

Since the video did not capture the anti-fall net, it showed a phenomenon that went against common sense of physics. The child inexplicably stopped falling and his body was suspended in mid-air.

Netizens have been using their imaginations to their advantage. Some say it is the ability of aliens, some say it was deliberately filmed to attract attention, and some say it is a computer special effect.

The claim that it was a computer special effect was widely accepted.

In addition, there are netizens who claim to be professionals who come forward to analyze and point out where the problems are, and earn a wave of traffic.

The resident who uploaded the video woke up the next day and suddenly found that the video he posted had become popular and suddenly had millions of views.

He felt a little excited when he saw the data for the first time. As an ordinary person, who doesn't want the videos he uploads to be popular, not to mention that there are millions of views.

Then he clicked on the video details and he couldn't express his joy.

Netizens' comments were extremely biased and had nothing to do with the content of the video. Some even argued about what special effects were used in the video.

So the resident who uploaded the video explained in his comment section and pinned his comment to the top.

The main point is that the video was shot by himself without using any special effects. The building where they live is equipped with a fall prevention net, and the child was caught by a net. The child was not suspended in the air for no reason.

The anti-fall net he mentioned is a blind spot in netizens' knowledge, which is incomprehensible and unimaginable.

[Yellow headband]: What is a fall prevention net? I can't see anything. Is this the emperor's fall prevention net?

[Little Pumpkin]: Your words are full of loopholes. You said there was a fall prevention net, so why didn’t any of us see it? And where did the net come from? From the sky?

[Qiuqiu]: I suggest that the blogger should carefully review what you said and provide evidence for your explanation. Today's netizens are not stupid and are not so easily fooled.

The blogger was defeated in the battle of words.

First of all, he could not prove the existence of the anti-fall net. He did not have professional equipment and could not take a picture of the anti-fall net that was comparable to spider silk. What's more, the camera of a mobile phone could never capture the critical moment of the anti-fall net's ejection.

Secondly, it is impossible for him to deliberately cause objects to fall from a high altitude just to shoot a video. He enforces the law and will not deliberately do anything illegal.

The blogger lost the debate and finally chose to disappear.

What the blogger didn't expect was that although he disappeared, someone else stood up.

The one who stood up was none other than Dai Li's own company.

Dai Li's company did what bloggers could not do. They placed several cameras at the test site, captured the moment when the anti-fall net was ejected, and used 4K high-definition images to restore the working dynamics of the high-altitude fall arrester to netizens.

They also captured images of extremely thin, spider-silk-like anti-fall net threads.

When netizens saw their professional videos, they were all excited.

[her_ru]: Holy crap, this gave me goosebumps. This is so fucking cool.

[Da Zai, you have to work hard]: I seemed to see Spider-Man, the moment it popped out was really cool. A reasonable guess is whether humans can also equip it on their hands?

[Follow my heart_OO] replied to [Da Zai, work hard]: Holy crap, with the equipment in hand, he is Spider-Man himself. Marvel fans are crazy excited, and one person wrote in blood to ask for a wearable version.

[小敏哥cyu]: Not only the shape is similar, but the spider silk is also similar. This is the first time I have seen such a thin thread of spider silk that can carry an adult and fall from a high altitude.

[Little Melon is So Sweet]: No wonder I couldn’t see the net on the kid. It’s so thin. If it weren’t for the slow motion of the high-definition camera, I wouldn’t be able to see the net even if I stared at it like a rooster.

[Peppa Pig]: If it were any other company's video, I would still question whether it was a computer special effect, but after seeing the official Weibo ID that posted the video, I can believe it without a second thought.

[I'll change my name next time]: It's you, DL, you're secretly doing something big again. Could you please increase the production when you have time? My child hasn't been able to get any goods.

[Who will give me a membership]: Are you selling your fall prevention net? I live in a high-rise building and I want to buy one.

[Yaya bt]: I live on the ground floor and want to buy one too. Where is the link? I can’t see it.

Netizens searched the official blog and website but could not find any relevant links about the high-altitude fall arrest device.

The high-altitude fall arrester has become very popular on the Internet, but in fact Dai Li never thought of selling it online.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of high-altitude fall arresters, a building must ensure a certain amount of installation and strictly control the spacing.

Buying two for one person will not provide much protection. You can't expect the high-altitude fall arrester installed in the southeast corner to fly to the northwest corner. Far water cannot put out a nearby fire.

From the very beginning, high-altitude fall arresters have been purchased in bulk.

For this purpose, she also specially invited many real estate companies to visit the site, hoping that they would purchase and install it.

Many people from the real estate company came. Considering the current position of Daili Company in the market, the people from the real estate company had to give it some face.

Daili Company's products are in great demand in the market. Anyone who can get a piece of the pie can also make a fortune. It is natural to have a good relationship with such a powerful company and not offend it.

The persons in charge sent by each company are not ordinary positions, they are either vice presidents or project managers.

After watching the actual demonstration of the product, the leaders of the real estate company applauded at the same time.

"Mr. Xiao, your high-altitude fall arrester is really great. It can greatly reduce the dangers caused by falling objects from high altitudes."

"It's practical yet aesthetically pleasing, and it can even save lives in critical moments. It's a perfect product with absolutely no flaws."

"Seeing it in person was even more shocking than in the video. It was hard to believe. The scene was like a movie."

Xiao Min was among them, acting as a receptionist, and immediately made an invitation: "Everyone can move to our test bench and try throwing things yourself."

The real estate managers present were already eager to try it out, and they did not refuse after hearing this. They went to the test bench one after another to conduct the experiment themselves.

Everyone was still a little excited when they came down.

"How do you feel, Mr. Tan?" Xiao Min asked with a smile.

How could Mr. Tan not hear the subtext in Xiao Min's words? He called them here today just to sell their own high-altitude fall arrest device.

Mr. Tan did the same, with a smile on his face. He first expressed high praise for the high-altitude fall arrester, and then said.

"I'm personally very satisfied and would like to support your company's new products. However, you know I don't have the final say on purchasing matters. I can only apply to higher-ups, and whether it's approved depends on the higher-ups. The best I can do is try my best to lobby for it."

Of course, Xiao Min couldn't buy it based on other people's heads, so he could only express his understanding generously, and then started asking other people.

However, the statements made by people from other real estate companies are pretty much the same.

"The industry has been in a downturn recently, and real estate is tough. Raw material costs are rising, and funding for projects is extremely tight. I can barely pay salaries. Last month, I had to ask my wife for money before I could pay her. If I had more money, I would definitely be willing to buy it."

"My project has already gone over budget, and it's very difficult to get reimbursed. It's not that we don't want to buy, but even if we do, I can't guarantee that I can remit the money to you."

Not all people from the real estate company refused. Some were willing to sign the contract and pay on the spot, but they all implicitly put forward conditions.

They covet the profits of Dai Li Company and hope to get a share of their company's profits, such as authorizing the company's products to be their agents so that they can make a profit from the price difference, or having the products placed in their shopping malls to attract customers. Some also hope that Dai Li Company can supply products exclusively to them to attract homebuyers and those who want to buy shares.

Their conditions vary, but their core idea is the same: they will not do anything that is not profitable.

High-altitude fall arresters are not a mandatory requirement in building codes and standards. Considering the number of high-rise floors required, the installation cost is not low at all. They are not philanthropists who would spend extra money to purchase them if they have nothing better to do.

Xiao Min came to the demonstration table and reported the main situation to Dai Li.

"It's unrealistic to ask them to place an order today. They will definitely need to report to their superiors after they return. I will follow up on this matter, so you don't have to worry about it, Teacher Dai."

"They may have other requirements." Dai Li was also at the scene and heard what the real estate company said.

Xiao Min said helplessly, "No profit, no effort. Isn't that the nature of businessmen? You see, we asked them to come, so they naturally thought that our high-altitude fall arresters had become an overstock and hoped that they would help to clear them. In their view, we were asking for their help, so it was reasonable for them to raise their own demands."

"That makes sense," Dai Li snorted coldly, "These people always learn their lesson at the cost of blood and flesh."

The last time Sister Tu had an accident, CBD suffered a loss.

In the jumping incident, the management of CBD had a secondary responsibility that it could not shirk. It paid part of the medical expenses of the victim, and it also affected the business of CBD shopping mall. Even the number of companies renting offices decreased. It was also caught in the vortex of public opinion, criticizing why the CBD rooftop was not closed.

After the high-altitude fall arrester was developed, CBD took the initiative to install it.

It is the only building that was installed proactively by people other than Dai Li's friends.

Wu Xuelin: "I'm afraid some businessmen are cold-blooded and remain indifferent even when they see others pay the price of blood and flesh."

Aren’t there enough cases of accidents in the real estate industry? Even with so many bloody cases in front of us, they have not awakened the practitioners present.

Xiao Min: "We still have to wait for the release of new building standards. It's unrealistic to just rely on real estate companies to take the initiative."

The individual suddenly fell silent.

"Excuse me, can we install your high-altitude fall arrester now?" Suddenly a middle-aged man walked towards them and asked.

This middle-aged man was of medium height, about 1.7 meters, with dark skin and a thin body. He was not dressed as decently as other management members. His clothes were wrinkled, and he looked very out of place among the heads of other real estate companies.

Xiao Min: "Of course, what is the name of your company?"

The middle-aged man smiled naively and said, "I don't have a company. I'm just a foreman. The person in charge of our construction unit couldn't come, so I'm here to replace him. But after reading your product introduction, I think it's excellent. The workers on our construction site are the backbone of their families. They can't afford any accidents, otherwise their families will fall apart. So I want to pay for the installation on our site myself so that my workers can earn money safely."

The middle-aged man looked at them nervously as he spoke: "I don't need much. I wonder if you would mind? Are you willing to take this job?"

The middle-aged man knew that they were all doing big business, and the people invited today were all big bosses, who might not be interested in his small business.

As a result, I heard them reply in unison, almost without hesitation: "Of course we do."
