Among the thirteen people, there was only one yellow-skinned face, a representative from a quantum research center in the island country.

After Walter finished speaking, he immediately cast his vote for Intel Integrated Electronics' standard for quantum computers.

Others also began to vote, but fortunately, representatives of two Russian research institutes voted for Hongxin, and with the addition of three others, Hongxin now has a total of 24 votes.

The others are Intel 22 votes, IBM 19 votes, and the others are a bit worse.

"Hongxin Group ranks first!" Lu Zixin's side, Mr. Tian from the Computer Research Center affiliated to the Chinese National Academy of Sciences read excitedly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"

"This time, Hongxin Group's standards can be recognized by the international community, which is worth celebrating!"

Representatives of several Chinese scientific research institutions also looked at Lu Zixin and congratulated him!

Lu Zixin also smiled, as long as this matter is decided, then the commercialization process of Hongxin Group's quantum computer will be much easier.

As long as the world adopts their standards, other accessories manufacturers and computer research centers have to follow their footsteps, and those who don't have technology have to spend money to buy computers and hardware from Hongxin......

When the voting results came out, IEEE Chairman Lancelot and ACM President Walter's faces both pulled down slightly, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were very unhappy.

And they haven't announced the results yet, everything is still undecided.

IBM's representative, Plit, stared at the public screen and gritted his teeth secretly. Their company has always considered itself a pioneer in the quantum computer industry, and actually let others take the lead?

"Absolutely not!" Prit looked at Walter, who had had had a secret exchange before the meeting.

"Chairman Lancelot. Walter beckoned to Lancelot, signaling that he had something to say.

"Wait a minute, everyone, and we'll be back right away. Lancelot said, leaving the room with Walter to discuss.

The venue was still quiet, but Lu Zixin could keenly feel that there were a lot of hostile eyes sweeping over him.

After a while, the two chairmen returned.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Lancelot said apologetically, "I just discussed with Chairman Walter for a while. ”

"Both of our associations believe that Hongxin Group, Intel and IBM are far ahead of the others in terms of voting results. ”

"But—" He turned, and Lu Zixin and the representatives of the Huaxia scientific research institute immediately became alert.

Lancelot continued: "Given that the results of the votes of these three companies are so close that there is not much difference, it shows that there are many supporters of each standard. For the sake of fairness, we decided to conduct a second re-election and select a unified criterion from among the three companies, which would also be more convincing. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Zixin with a smile, like a polite gentleman.

Lu Zi snorted confidently, he had expected that the voting would not be so simple! There were too many representatives of US enterprises and institutions present, and representatives of countries such as island countries also supported the standards of US enterprises.

On top of that, the voting was chaired by the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Society!

Needless to say, although the Association for Computing Machinery claims to be a stateless international academic organization, its predecessors were the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers, and its headquarters and main members are all Americans, so it is not surprising that it favors American companies.

"I'm against it!" Before Lu Zixin could speak, Mr. Tian couldn't hold back and protested: "The voting result is obviously the first place in the Hongxin Group, and there is no need to re-elect at all!"

"I also think so, our Hongxin's quantum computer computing is obvious to all, and this is the result of everyone's choice!" Lu Zixin also said righteously.

Lancelot was not angry, but still kept smiling, and said, "Two deputies, we have also considered your opinions. Hongxin Group's quantum computer standard is indeed very referential, but this time the choice is set by the entire industry standard, which must be used all over the world, so we also have to consider everyone's opinions. ”

Walter also said: "The re-election is to make the results more accurate, and if everyone supports your criteria, you can still get the highest number of votes!"

"The two chairmen are right, I support the re-election!" Pulit took the lead in support, and representatives of other institutions also spoke out in favor of the re-election.

"This ...... This is partiality!" Teacher Tian complained in a low voice in the Chinese dialect instead of English.

"Professor Tian, let's re-elect, let's just insist on our own vote. The person next to him said helplessly, how could they, the Huaxia representatives, not see this little action of the other party?

It's just that they have too many supporters, and now they are forcibly protesting, and it is estimated that they will not get results.

"Okay, since everyone is talking about re-election, let's re-elect!" Lu Zixin stood up and said loudly, "Before the re-election, I want to tell you one thing!"

Representatives of various institutions looked at Lu Zixin, and Lu Zixin said loudly: "As the two chairmen and Vice Chairman Tolan mentioned just now, this vote is to select a standard suitable for commercial quantum computers. ”

"And we Hongxin, in addition to the quantum computer technology that has been demonstrated. We have also succeeded in developing a superconducting quantum computer that can be commercialized on a large scale!

"Oh my God, have they been able to commercialize quantum computers?" exclaimed representatives of some foreign research institutes.

"If it is true, then the standard for us to directly choose Hongxin Group is better, which can allow us to avoid many detours. "Some delegates don't care whether the standard is Hongxin Group or IBM or Intel, anyway, it's not theirs, how to be convenient and beneficial to them, they can choose.

"There is no basis for words!" Plitt said quickly, "We at IBM built a commercial quantum computer a few years ago. ”

If not performance, he was right, some of the delegates hesitated.

"Everyone, please be quiet, we are now starting the second round of voting, this time there are only three options, IBM, Intel, and Hongxin Group from Huaxia. Lancelot said.

The check, and it started again.

At the beginning, Lu Zixin and other Chinese representatives decisively voted for Hongxin Group and received seven votes.

Subsequently, some representatives who supported them also voted, and the number of votes soon reached 23 votes, and at this time, followed by IBM, 19 votes, and then Intel 10 votes, five representatives chose to abstain, and the others were still waiting.

In a short period of time, Hongxin Group seems to have taken the lead again. But Lu Zixin always felt that things would not be so simple, because at this time, the representative of Intel had not yet voted, and it stands to reason that he should vote for his company as soon as possible, but he did not do so.
