midday

Professor Merck went to the dining area with a tired body, and the dilemma encountered made the head of the Google Quantum Computer Lab feel a headache, and almost used all his energy to solve the problem, but found... The essence of the problem is not what it seems.

"Merck?"

"What's wrong with the chip structure problem?" Orkney found Merck and asked curiously, "Has it been solved?"

"Alas..."Merck sighed and said helplessly: "Basically in a state of insolvency, I worked hard with five researchers at Yale University for a morning, but... Ren Ran didn't solve the problem. ”

Words fall,

Merck asked, "How's it going over there?"

"The progress is objective. ”

"The problem of quantum error correction... Progress is maintained well, according to estimates... Preliminary results will be available tomorrow. Orkney said earnestly, "But... If the chip structure problem cannot be solved, no matter how accurate the theory is, it will be in vain. ”

Merck smiled bitterly: "What can I do then?"

"Or..."

"Shall we find a Xu Mang?" Orkney said, "In the morning, I had a whim... Or we can use the 'poplar structure' to solve the problems we encounter. ”

"Xu Yang structure..."

"You don't know how harsh Xu Mang's conditions are!" Merck said solemnly: "I asked him to buy photoresist material adhesive before, and he proposed that the core technology and line technology of the mobile phone operating system are needed. I think you need a rocket engine to get it. ”

"Trust me!"

"This bastard won't be embarrassed!" Merck said earnestly, "Anyway... It is impossible to get the relevant technology from Huaguo. ”

moment

The two fell silent.

"What if..."

"Shall we leave this to the Department of Defense?" Orkney whispered, "Whatever they do, as long as they get this technology..."

"Impossible!"

"At Xu Mang's level, do you think he is still an ordinary scientist?" Merck said: "There will definitely be many people around him who protect him, and instead of taking such risks, it is better to devote himself to research." ”

It doesn't work either,

That's not going to work either,

What to do?

Orkney was frustrated, not because Merck rejected his proposal, but because of the hysterical but powerless feeling when faced with a problem, but from another angle, it confirmed a point of view, Xu Mang... This young scientist from Huaguo, he is too powerful!

"What kind of creatures do you think we're competing against?" Orkney said with a wry smile, "Now that I think about it... This guy is so powerful that I can't imagine it at all... How strong is one person to force us to unite against him, and the result is not yet to win. ”

What creature?

He seems to be a cosmic man in human skin.

"Who knows. ”

"After the previous contact, he gave me the impression of confidence, and then it was... Bad to the extreme. Merck said: "To sum up... He's not human. ”

seem

A lot of people say that about him.

After lunch,

Professor Merck returned to his office, intending to rest for a moment and be in good shape for the next problem, adjusting the back of his chair to a comfortable angle, and lay down in his chair with a relieved expression.

Tired!

I'm so tired!

If people have the next life to talk about this, they will also engage in scientific research if they kill themselves.

took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and then Professor Merck's notice showed that there was a news report, and the one who pushed this news was a certain software, which is similar to scientific research communication software, which is convenient for American researchers to quickly find each other's contact information.

It also pushes notifications for some high-profile research reports, and in general... Let this software push the news, almost always shocking the world.

Belch?

And a new one?

"The secret of Xu Yang's structure?" Professor Merck read it, and at first he didn't feel anything, but after only a second, he fell into a point where he couldn't speak, and his brain consumed a lot of oxygen at this moment, which instantly made him feel dizzy.

Wait a minute!

Xu Yang structure?

This... How is this possible?

Quickly clicking on the news, he was soon stunned by the content, which was a reprint of a research report on the official website of Nature, nominated as "Xu Yang Structure - A Simple Structure that Completely Rewrites Physics".

"This..."

"Xu Mang... He actually made the structure of Xu Yang public?" Professor Merck came back to his senses, but he didn't think too much, carefully looked at every detail of this research report, and in less than a few minutes, Professor Merck was completely impressed.

Professor Merck swears that this is the most shocking content he has ever seen in his life, even after being a professor for so long and being nurtured by countless scientists, he has never seen this magical poplar structure.

At this point,

He remembered what he had discussed with Orkney earlier, and suddenly felt a little ignorant and a little hasty.

Its role seems to transcend human cognition, not only in the field of quantum chips has incomparable effects, but even magnetism, materials, superconductivity, etc., have given a chilling effect, through precision metrology, Xu Yang structure provides an extremely accurate conversion relationship.

suddenly

The phone rang, and it was Orkney calling.

"Merck!"

"Xu Yang's structure has been revealed!" Orkney hurriedly said, "The contents... The content is shocking and directly subverts our assumptions about Xu Yang's structure. ”

"I..."

"I'm already watching. Professor Merck wanted to say something more, but he found that he didn't want to say anything, just to soak up the shock and bewilderment, and he read the study in its entirety.

moment

The call is interrupted,

Professor Merck continued to dig deeper into the structure of Xu Yang, and as the content gradually deepened, Merck felt a chill in her back, and her mind was full of questions... How did Xu Mang discover this magical 'Xu Yang structure'?

Luck?

It's definitely not luck!

Such an ingenious structure, no matter how analyzed... It's all so perfect, it doesn't seem to be possible with luck alone.

Seeing the end,

Professor Merck suddenly realized that it was... Is there such a usage of the poplar structure?

He found that in the second half, he mentioned a qubit amplification technique called voltage control, as the name suggests... The use of voltage to limit the amplification of qubits, although this improves efficiency and reduces the service life, does not have such concerns if the Xuyang structure is used.

Xu Yang's mechanism cleverly said that the voltage control is a reasonable value, and at the same time, the qubit limit is magnified, and it is not affected at all, which is simply a genius idea!

Bang bang bang,

There was a quick knock at the door,

moment

Orkney, who was full of panic, came to Merck and hurriedly said, "Merck... The Xu Yang structure may be the key to our ability to break through 100 qubits!"

Just now,

Researchers at Yale University came with the news that they had used the Xu Yang structure to perform theoretical calculations, and were surprised to find that they were perfectly compatible, and even... It can hold 100 qubits, which is a 10% increase!

But...

Although Nature has published the relevant data and concepts of the structure of Xu Yang, only some core technologies are missing, such as... And these technologies are the key to change the usefulness of the Xuyang structure, without which the Xuyang structure has almost no effect.

Hearing Orkney's words, Merck fell into deep thought, and their only choice at present was to find Xu Mang, hoping that through his help, they could complete a hundred... Or the development of a 100-qubit chip.

But empathy... Is this a possibility?

Even if possible,

How much does it cost?

In addition to the contradictions, Merck remembered a sentence left by Xu Mang in Huaguo - you came back to me, I thought it was funny when I heard it, but now... I can't laugh when I want to, and I even want to cry a little.

Really if Xu Mang said it, we're going to find him...

"Do you think... How much can it cost you?" Merck raised her head and asked solemnly, "This guy is a devil... He will definitely make demands that you can't afford, he doesn't care at all what the Western media say about him, no one can guess what he is thinking... Nope!"

The price?

So far... What is the price.

Orkney was helpless and unveiled the magical 'Xu Yang Structure', but did not give the key to open it, he was simply a bastard!

"Anyway..."

"Let's get to know him first... Determine whether Xu Mang is willing to engage in technology transfer. Orkney said.

“...”

"Okay. Merck sighed, picked up the landline at hand, and made a call to Professor Smith.

soon

The phone went through.

"Smith... It's me, Merck. Merck smiled bitterly: "I think... Let you help me contact Xu Mang again, I hope he can provide the key key to the 'Xu Yang structure', and we are short of this key now." ”

“...”

"Merck!"

"I understand your situation, but... Based on what I know about Xu Mang, you should dispel this thought, although he is happy to give you this key, do you know how much it takes to pay for all this?" Professor Smith said solemnly, "Don't look for him... Really!"

Don't look for him?

Who else can I look for?

Merck would also like to have a second option, but the reality is so cruel that there is no choice...

"Smith..."

"We don't have a choice. Merck sighed: "At the beginning, I was still wondering why Xu Mang would say that to me, we will definitely go to him... Now it seems that all this is under Xu Mang's control. ”

"Okay. Professor Smith said, "I want you to prepare for the worst. ”

moment

call drops,

Merck looked up at the ceiling above her head, unable to escape the arrangement of fate after all.

"Orkney?"

"Do you know what the nature of human beings is?"
