Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Zhou Feng was genuinely surprised; he had originally planned to cultivate a stronger relationship with Tao Muyao.

This girl scores quite high in his heart; if he were to find a partner in the modern world, she would be a very suitable choice.

Contrary to his expectations, after returning to his office from the meal, he began a month-long period of grueling and hectic work.

First, rare metal ores began to be delivered to the warehouse outside Beiping City from the courtyard house. The amount of ores delivered every day was exactly the amount needed to fill one warehouse.

Meanwhile, modern light industrial factories were also launched. Zhou Ming continuously contacted and signed contracts with manufacturers from all walks of life, and then large quantities of goods were transported to logistics parks on the outskirts of Beiping.

Thus, Zhou Feng began a life of transporting ore to the modern world at night and delivering production lines or light industrial products to the courtyard house during the day.

Both worlds, along with Zhou Feng, began operating efficiently.

Moreover, the entire 100,000 square meters of space greatly facilitated his transportation of goods between the two realms.

Moreover, Zhou Feng also had the task of explaining things to the people in the courtyard world.

Just like now, he was holding an air fryer and explaining it to several leaders dressed in Zhongshan suits in front of him, while a group of staff members sat behind him taking notes.

"This machine is an air fryer. Its principle is to use electricity to drive hot air, which replaces frying. Given the current situation in our country, it is still difficult for ordinary people to adopt this machine in their homes, but it has a large market overseas."

"Foreigners love to eat French fries, fried fish, and barbecue, and an air fryer can satisfy all of these needs. We can even promote a healthy lifestyle concept."

"However, it is important to note that you must apply for a patent abroad before exporting! We have already prepared all the necessary documents."

As he spoke, Zhou Feng placed the file folder that the modern world had prepared for him on the table.

"Isn't this...patent...aren't they part of capitalist private ownership?"

"All of my country's scientific and technological achievements belong to the state, not to any individual or organization!"

"Yes! Science and technology should be shared nationwide. We don't need to 'protect' the inventions and technological improvements of any one person or unit as private property. This is the difference between us and capitalism!"

...

Listening to the discussion and conflicting remarks of the people in front of him, Zhou Feng scratched his head helplessly.

In this era of China, it's not that there's a lack of awareness of patents and copyrights, but rather that there's a strong advocacy for nationwide sharing of technology and an opposition to restricting the dissemination of technology under the guise of patents.

Moreover, the administrative reward system replaces intellectual property protection, with inventors receiving only spiritual or material rewards, while the technological achievements belong to the state.

Looking at the group of men with puffed-up beards and glaring eyes, Zhou Feng scratched his head helplessly.

This is not just a difference in ideas, but a fundamental clash of ideologies!

"Everyone, everyone! The reason we're doing all this is to earn foreign exchange; to put it bluntly, we're going to make money off foreigners!"

"If we don't apply for a patent in advance, and a foreign country applies for it first, we'll be infringing on their patent!"

"Your ideas are perfectly fine within our Dragon Kingdom, but if we look at the global picture and want to make money from them, then we still have to follow their rules and logic!"

Fortunately, in addition to these three leaders, many people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and major foreign trade companies were also called in to communicate with Zhou Feng, since they were the ones who actually carried out the specific operations.

After explaining these points, the rest is up to them to hold an internal meeting to discuss them.

Anyway, Zhou Feng's only responsibility is to deliver these supplies and explain them. If they still insist on ignoring international copyrights and patents after being reminded, then he will have to bear it himself.

His suggestion was well-intentioned; whether Zhou Feng appreciated it or not, and whether there would be a good outcome, was none of his concern.

After explaining these precautions, Zhou Feng returned to the modern world with today's mineral resources.

During this period, he carefully selected the time of his daily journeys, striving to bring a batch of supplies with him each time he traveled.

Although it was only the 1960s, the Dragon Kingdom, with its courtyard houses, had already begun to show its characteristics as an infrastructure powerhouse, with a large number of factories and vacant lots being rapidly built around the city of Beiping.

With the approval of higher-ups, a large number of experts from all over the country boarded trains to Beiping (Beijing) to jointly study the modular power plant and fertilizer production line that Zhou Feng had brought.

In fact, this fertilizer production line was only seven years ahead of its predecessor in 1965, but it was a completely different product.

Not only will its annual output be nearly ten times that of the current fertilizer plants in the Siheyuan World, but it will also have low energy consumption and automated control.

Most importantly, seven years later, it cost $43 billion to import the entire set of equipment from the United States and Europe!

This was a huge sum of money in China in 1972!

However, if the future world sends this production line through Zhou Feng, there's naturally no need to pay such a high price.

Although these two sets of equipment were somewhat ahead of their time.

However, with a complete functional principle manual, design drawings, and detailed instructions prepared by modern society for the level of technological development of this era, it is not as difficult to operate as imagined.

Moreover, Zhou Feng can provide comprehensive after-sales support, which is a world of difference compared to the treatment of products imported from abroad.

Although Zhou Feng had never met them, he could still tell from various sources how arrogant and unruly the foreigners responsible for subsequent maintenance were in that era.

The only thing that Zhou Feng didn't understand was that the warehouse and power plant were one thing, but the fertilizer plant was also located in the suburbs of Beiping!

This is the capital city!

Once a fertilizer plant of this caliber starts operating, the pollution it produces is absolutely not to be underestimated!

After being reminded several times, the organization expressed its concern, but showed no intention of changing its mind.

In this era, the concept of "pollute first, then clean up" is still very suitable.

Only when a country is strong will it have the extra time and energy to manage the environment.

Moreover, this is currently the only state-of-the-art production line in the entire country. If it weren't for the fact that it would cause enormous pollution, some people would have even considered placing the fertilizer plant in Beiping City.

Indeed, no matter where the factories and technologies that Zhou Feng brought from the future are located, they are not as reassuring as those located near Beiping.

However, given the current situation in China, this situation may only change once their world has the capability to independently develop technology sufficient to replace these production lines.

Even if they want to continue purchasing other production lines from Zhou Feng, they have to wait until the experts summoned to Beiping have thoroughly studied the production lines.

We can't just buy a bunch of equipment, install it, and then have the people here not know how to use it. That would be a waste of resources!
