Chapter 422 Who Pays the Patent Fees?



The audience was quite desperate, lamenting why it was so difficult for them to learn martial arts.

Sang Ning laughed, "Why do you all want to learn martial arts? Your physique and strength are not bad, so it doesn't really matter whether you learn martial arts or not."

"If you don't believe me, look at Emmanuel and the others; not one of them wants to learn."

Emmanuel and the others, who were called out, couldn't help but roll their eyes. Did they not want to learn?

They really wanted to.

It wasn't that Sang Ning said they weren't suited to study, which is why they reluctantly stopped mentioning it.

Now that she's brought this up again, they're bound to rebel once more.

Mu Tao swallowed the stir-fried pork belly in her mouth, glanced sideways at Sang Ning, and said, "I wanted to learn."

Sang Ning scoffed, "How about I beat you up first?"

Mu Tao fell silent, and the audience sensed something was wrong, so they all asked Mu Tao what was going on.

"It's nothing. You should understand the meaning of the saying 'curiosity killed the cat.'"

Mu Tao said earnestly, "For intelligent beings, being too curious is really not suitable; it will cause trouble."

The audience wouldn't listen, but it was no use. Sang Ning and his group simply wouldn't listen to anything the audience wanted to say, no matter how much they pleaded, acted cute, or threatened them.

You can say whatever you want, but we can use your surname for every single word we utter.

Unable to outmaneuver Sang Ning and his group, the audience had no choice but to compromise and change the subject.

Then, with this shift, the audience's attention turned to the food that Sang Ning and the others were eating.

The chef robot is truly amazing, the Human History Research Center is incredibly capable, and the native inhabitants of the Moykaz universe are equally capable.

The Center for Human History Research tirelessly uploads recipes, and all ingredients have been meticulously documented with detailed information and notes, thanks to the assistance of the native inhabitants of planet E72.

For example, celery can be divided into celery, white celery, green celery, and so on.

These exist in the Moykaz universe; some are mutated, some are not, but they are all wild.

Is it edible?

Absolutely edible. Some varieties of celery, even wild ones, taste quite good.

However, previous diets were limited, with fewer people eating natural foods and more eating nutrient solutions when nutrient solutions were available.

Therefore, the nutrient solution has a variety of flavors, a strong feeling of fullness, comprehensive nutrition, and is convenient to take. One bottle of nutrient solution can keep you full for several hours while eating only takes a few seconds.

Natural food is different. You need to process the ingredients first, and then cook them before you can eat them. It's time-consuming and troublesome, not to mention the taste is just so-so.

If the cooking skills are not up to par, then the nutrient solution will be squeezed into a space where only special environments and staff can use it.

Most people wouldn't consume a cold, lifeless nutrient solution when they have delicious food to eat.

Because of inadequate technology, the habit of using nutrient solutions to replace staple foods, and the fact that chefs in various natural food restaurants are sticking to a few signature dishes and are unwilling to eat them for the rest of their lives, natural food has no room for development.

Foods such as celery, cabbage, and enoki mushrooms became wild-grown.

All the dishes that Sang Ning is familiar with can be found in the Mo Yikaz universe.

But before this, no one had done it.

However, the situation is different now.

The recipes uploaded by the Center for Human History Research not only provide detailed notes on the required ingredients, but also on the cooking time, the amount of seasonings needed, and so on.

Anyone who isn't terribly clumsy can cook by following the recipe.

Even someone with ridiculously bad hand skills can enjoy delicious natural food by buying a chef robot.

As a result, natural foods became very popular, and various planting and breeding areas, together with biological research centers, began to engage in large-scale planting and breeding.

The chef robot that I bought for survival on a deserted planet has all the recipes in its database.

Therefore, the dishes on the table in front of the contestants included all eight major cuisines.

There are bright red dishes like spicy blood curd and boiled fish that look incredibly appetizing.

There are elegant and simple dishes such as Jade Fan Screen (chicken soup with blanched vegetables arranged in a fan shape), Green Willows and Red Flowers (spinach stir-fried with mushrooms), and Snow Volcano (tomato salad with white sugar).

There were also dishes like braised pork belly in rich, dark sauce, which dazzled the audience, making them drool and strongly urge Sang Ning and the others to activate their five senses.

They wanted to try the dishes.

Sang Ning said "Oh," activated the five senses sharing function for them, and asked curiously, "None of you have tried these dishes before?"

The audience found it hard to describe, saying they felt that Sang Ning might have a misunderstanding about their financial resources.

They had never eaten many of these dishes before.

Sang Ning looked confused, but still humbly asked what was going on.

Monet continued, "Although the recipe has been uploaded, it doesn't mean it's a public recipe that everyone can download, understand?"

Sang Ning immediately understood; this meant that she needed to pay to use the recipe.

Because it involves patent rights.

So here's a question—

Who should pay the patent fees?

"The upload was made by the Center for Historical Human Research, but the ownership of the patent belongs to all the native inhabitants of planet E72."

The implication is that the patent fees will go to the government of planet e72.

Sang Ning was relieved upon hearing this. "Is a dish very expensive?"

"It's not expensive."

Fimmonloa explained, "There are two types of patent fees: one is for home use, which is cheaper, and the other is for commercial use, which costs a hundred times more than the home use version."

As she spoke, she pointed to some cold tomato salad. "Take this Snow Volcano dish, for example. The patent fee for the home version is fifty, while the commercial version is five thousand."

According to patent law, the price of both the home and commercial versions is genuinely not expensive.

Because you can do it for a lifetime, you can also improve and innovate on the original recipes, and then upload them to the patent center to register your own patent and earn patent fees.

However, there is a problem here: "One dish is not expensive, ten dishes are not expensive, and a hundred dishes are also not expensive, but the number of recipes uploaded by the Center for Human History Research is as high as thousands."

At this point, Fimmonloa sighed, "There will probably be more uploads later. In this situation, no one will buy so many patents. Most people only buy recipes that they are interested in eating."

"Similar to chef robots, when robot manufacturing companies develop chef robots, their goal is not to develop a full range of chef robots, but rather a single type."

"For example, a robot that specializes in Sichuan cuisine would simply purchase the patent for Sichuan cuisine and then input the recipes into the robot's core program."

"The same applies to other cuisines."

"However, the production team is rich and doesn't lack money, so we got to eat the eight major cuisines."

Viewers commented that Philoya was right; they only buy recipes that interest them when cooking, and the chef robots they buy are all single-type robots.

Therefore, there are many dishes they have never eaten before.
