There was no sound through the heavy glass, but you could see how the quantum computer would run when it was powered on.

In fact, even if you stand next to the quantum brain, you can hardly hear any sound.

There is a special device inside the quantum brain to control the pulses to realize the decoupling of the qubits and the environment, and use the incoherent subspace coding between the qubits to completely overcome the decoherence to protect the quantum information from dissipating into the surrounding environment.

Therefore, the Quantum Intelligence Brain is very quiet when running at high speeds.

If it weren't for the fact that the signal light that meant the system was starting to compute at high speed was starting to flicker, it was easy to ignore that it was already working.

At this time, countless numbers began to swipe the screen frantically on the screen at the output end, which is quite a bit of the screen used by hackers in the movie. Of course, there is a difference, because the numbers on the huge electronic screen flash faster, almost becoming afterimages.

In fact, the whole computing process does not need output, but the real quantum brain has not yet been built, and there is no more suitable output method, so it is still connected to such an external display device.

More than 20 people in the entire project stopped what they were doing and looked at the Quantum Intelligence Brain in operation from all angles.

Although the boot calculation is expected to last an hour, no one is in the mood to do anything else at this time.

Of course, this does not include Wang Yufei.

In fact, after inputting instructions into the Quantum Intelligence Brain, he chatted with Lu Yuxin in the control room for a while, and at the same time paid attention to the internal operation of the Quantum Intelligence Brain through the internal sensing system.

From the feedback data, it can be concluded that for now, the quantum brain is running well.

If nothing else, maintaining a high-speed computing state for an hour is no problem.

The question now is whether an hour is enough time for the quantum brain to find and verify at least one Mersenne prime.

If the verification process can be found and completed, in addition to proving the running speed of the quantum intelligent brain, it can also show that there are no obvious bugs in the hardware and software he has designed.

Of course, the premise of everything is that one hour is really enough time for this unfinished quantum brain to find at least one Mersenne prime.

You know, at present, human civilization has only found 51 Mersenne primes, and the last time Mersenne primes were found was in December 2018, and the fifty-first Mersenne primes are also the largest known primes, with a total of 24,862,048 digits.

Since the last time the Mersenne prime number was discovered, all mankind has not been able to discover the fifty-second Mersenne prime.

It's not that no one is looking for other primes, in fact, the International Mason Prime Organization has a bounty hanging, and the first person to find 100 million Mersen primes will get a prize of 150,000 US dollars.

And there is more than one organization that has a bounty, and whoever can find the 100 million Mason prime can still earn 200,000,000 or 300,000 dollars.

Of course, this number is no longer something that can be calculated by manpower, everyone uses a computer to calculate it.

It's just that in the past, everyone used the computing power of classical electronic computers to calculate through distributed technology, but today is the first attempt in human history to use a quantum computer to calculate and verify Mersenne primes at the same time.

The only pity is that it is not disclosed to the public.

"Ding".

Suddenly, a crisp lifting sound came from the operation room.

This is a hint that the Quantum Brain has found a Mersen prime, and then according to the program preset by Wang Yufei, the Quantum Brain will divide about one-third of the computing power for calculation, and the other computing power will continue to look for other Mersen primes.

"Is this a success?" Lu Yuxin asked in surprise.

People who study mathematics naturally know better than ordinary people the meaning and difficulty of finding Mersenne primes.

"I still have to check it, but there is a high probability that it will be successful!" Wang Yufei said in a slightly excited tone.

In any case, this is the first time in history, and there is indeed reason to be proud and excited.

......

Inside Tim Cook's villa, Silicon Valley, USA.

Although Wang Yufei asked him to get up half an hour earlier than usual, Tim Cook really couldn't sleep at the moment.

Orders for solid-state high-energy batteries have already occupied his mind.

There is no way, Apple's shortcomings are there, one is the signal, and the other is the battery.

Before the solid-state high-energy battery came out, even if Apple was a little worse than its friends, the gap was still within a controllable range. As long as you are not a heavy mobile phone user, it is basically no problem to stick to it for a day.

It doesn't matter if you really like to play with mobile phones too much, Apple has also launched a backpack battery.

But now the situation is completely different.

Orders for batteries for China and rice have already been placed, and Samsung is also said to be ahead of Apple.

Rice aside, Weihua and Samsung are now one of Apple's competitors in the global market.

Even Tim Cook has gotten the parameters of the new battery ordered for China, which is a third thinner than a traditional battery, so although it is solid-state inside, it is even lighter than a traditional liquid lithium battery.

This allows mobile phone designers to make their phones lighter, thinner and more stylish.

Of course, the most important thing is that such a battery can theoretically keep the smartphone on for more than three months, and even heavy mobile phone users can play games for five to six days without charging 24 hours a day except for sleeping.

It's the time lag again.

If Apple launches a similar mobile phone late with China and Samsung for half a year, God knows how many Apple fans will switch to the arms of China and Samsung because of battery problems, especially in the future, Apple is likely to have lost the bonus of the IOS system, after all, no matter where in the world now, the most discussed and most popular is the Xin system......

After all, Apple's home country in Europe and the United States has begun to prepare for the Xin system, after Ge Lingyue discussed with a circle of companies and made concessions, especially after the Xin system is completely open source, there is no reason to organize the promotion of this system.

In the past, it was possible to talk about information security, but now that the system is open source, any company or individual can find fault through the source code, and it is almost impossible for developers to leave any backdoor to steal information.

In short, Apple is having a hard time right now.

The challenge may not be as strong as Microsoft's, after all, Apple can still make money on hardware even if it gives up IOS, and Apple's self-designed A12 Bionic processor is still one of the most advanced mobile phone CPUs in the world.

As long as it can be equipped with a good battery, Apple can still live.

Although it is not possible to collect a 30% Apple tax, if it is done well, at least it will not be as close to a complete loss of profitability as Microsoft did.

So whether you can get the battery as soon as possible at this time is very important for Apple.

Don't you just want a phone number?

At this time, even if Wang Yufei asked Tim Cook to tie up John Martinis to Huaxia, the Apple president probably has to consider who is better to find at this time, even if it is only more than three o'clock in the morning in the United States.

For all these reasons, Tim Cook didn't even bother to wash up, so he picked up the phone and dialed out, ignoring that it was late at night.

In other words, it is a kind of happiness to be able to see Silicon Valley at three or four o'clock in the morning?

......

Caddy Cotter also wants to curse.

But after seeing that it was the big boss's call, he still answered it as soon as possible, and tried to make his wake-up anger less obvious.

For a multinational company like Apple, there is a complete ecological chain internally.

For example, a big boss like Tim Cook has the most influence on the company's executives, and he also has a great deterrent ability to the middle and upper levels of the company, but a small employee on the front line may not care too much about the opinion of the big boss.

When the number of employees in the company exceeds 100, basically the managers cannot pay detailed attention to the work of everyone in the company. This is also the meaning of the existence of a modern management system.

But Cady Cotter is, after all, the head of Apple's public relations division, a proper company executive.

Usually executives have to appear in meetings, and if there is any public opinion that is unfavorable to Apple, Cady Cotter often has to report to Tim Cook alone.

Of course, the most important thing is that being an executive at Apple is well paid, and Caddy Cotter has no plans to change jobs in the near future, and he does not believe that other companies can give him better treatment than Apple at the moment.

"Hey, Mr. Cook, hello. ”

"Sorry to bother you at this time. But you have to find John Martines' phone number within half an hour and send it to me! Remember half an hour! If you can't do it, you can also choose to send me a resignation tomorrow and I'll sign it!"

"Doodoo ......"

Cady Cotter was confused.

As soon as the brain was forced to turn on, I suddenly heard such a news, and everyone would be confused.

Who is John Martinis?

Why do you want his number in half an hour?

Wait, he's going to be fired without a number?

When this sentence sounded in his head again, Cady Cotter instantly sobered up.

Subconsciously glanced at his phone, half a minute had passed, which meant that he only had 29 minutes and 30 seconds left, and if he couldn't figure out what the big boss had explained, he could say goodbye to Apple.

Thinking of this, Caddy Cotter turned into a spirit guy in seconds, picked up his mobile phone and began to flip through the address book.

Compared to disturbing dreams, it is clear that his work is more important.

"Who?"

The wife next to her asked in a daze.

"You don't care!"

Irritatedly responded, Cady Cotter jumped out of bed and was about to go to the study to make a call, but this sentence made his wife next to him angry.

"What do you mean? I can't ask when I call in the middle of the night?"

"Big boss, I want to find someone's number, and if I can't find it, I'll have to hand in my resignation report." ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Cady Kurt hurried out of the bedroom.

......

Twenty-three minutes later.

Tim Cook received a call from Caddy Cotter in his study.

The head of public works did not disappoint him, and according to Kedi, he got the number of the quantum scientist from a reporter from a science and technology network. I have to say that Cady Cotter's cloud is good, and the reporter he contacted happened to interview John Martinis two days ago, mainly because the tech tycoon's sudden departure from Google caused a lot of repercussions in the industry, so such an interview.

It just so happened that this interview gave the journalist the number of John Martinis.

After getting John Martines' mobile phone number, Tim Cook did not call Wang Yufei immediately.

That's right, for such an important matter, Tim Cook certainly found more than just Cady Cotter.

In fact, twenty minutes earlier, Tim Cook had called more than half of Apple's executives. He had to receive at least two replies to confirm and confirm that the number he got was correct before he would call Wang Yufei back.

This also directly led to this early morning, because of Wang Yufei's whim, most of Apple's senior management was not woken up by the phone call in the early morning.

It's not a big fuss.

This is a major event involving Apple's future trend, so it is natural to deal with it carefully.

If Wang Yufei is given a wrong number, God knows whether the time for Apple to get the order for solid-state high-energy batteries will continue to drag on.

After another ten minutes, he got two more debriefings.

After comparing the three numbers that were the same, Tim Cook picked up his mobile phone and called Wang Yufei.

At this time, only forty-five minutes had passed since Wang Yufei called.

However, no one answered the phone?

What about playing?

Tim Cook was stunned.

......

Wang Yufei certainly didn't deliberately fail to answer Tim Cook's calls.

It's just a coincidence that when Tim Cook called, the Quantum Brain just calculated and verified the first Mersenne prime discovered today.

It is also the largest Mersenne prime number in the world.

2 to the power of xxxxxxxx -1, this super-large prime has 8xxxxxxx bits.

The only pity is that the number of digits has not exceeded 100 million, and the reward of 150,000 US dollars has not been received for the time being, but now the quantum brain has only been running for half an hour, and there is still half an hour to continue to find a new Mersen prime.

Wang Yufei is using a classical electronic computer to verify this result.

When you're busy, you naturally don't have time to pay attention to the phone.

waited for Wang Yufei to get everything done, and then picked up the mobile phone that kept vibrating just now.

By this time, Tim Cook had called him three times in a row, and sent a reminder text message along the way.

It is necessary to understand Tim Cook's tangled mentality at this time.

It was stipulated that the phone number should be given to the person for an hour, and when I called the other side but didn't answer the phone, I could be in a hurry.

Although a text message was sent, this is not a formal signing matter, in case Wang Yufei said that he did not receive the text message and did not admit the previous promise, who will Tim Cook go to reason?

At this time, of course, the two sides still talked to each other, and it was more reassuring to get Wang Yufei's personal guarantee.

Well, this little mistake also made Wang Yufei feel a little embarrassed, after all, it is not a good behavior to release pigeons, in order to let Tim Cook sleep well, Wang Yufei still decided to call him back as soon as possible.

The call was connected almost instantly, and then Tim Cook's serious voice reached Wang Yufei's ears through the earpiece.

"Hey, I've got John Martinis' contact information, can I arrange a battery order for Apple this month?"
