Chapter 384: Quantum

"I think your brain is kind of like the kind of computer you say. Li Jianguo said in a low voice.

"Even if it's like, it's not like this, it's like a quantum computer. Li Yiming replied casually.

"Quantum... Mechanics?" Li Jianguo remembered his son's words that almost made him have a heart attack at that time.

"Well, quantum entanglement, quantum computers, now these are electronic computers. ”

"Quantum or electron, which is great? Quantum?"

"Quantum and electrons are different concepts in physics, and their application to computers is a matter of different technical routes. Li Yiming said softly to his father, "It's very important, don't say it lightly." ”

"Why?"

"Because I haven't figured it out yet. Li Yiming looked at the screen a little distractedly.

Quantum computing, Li Yiming only knows some literal concepts, and he doesn't know if the industry already has this theory.

After my father told this, it would definitely be handed over to some technicians, and those technicians would have to communicate with the outside world, maybe they would know in foreign laboratories in a few days, what the consequences would be, Li Yiming hadn't thought it through.

"Quantum computers are kind of like my style of doing things. Li Yiming said softly.

Li Jianguo looked at his son thoughtfully, Yiming's style of doing things.

"The calculation method of traditional electronic computers is serial operation, one calculation is completed and the next one is calculated, so it will continue to pursue fast, and there is more than double the speed of the chip every year and a half, Li Yiming feels that it cannot be called Moore's law, but the natural pursuit of the industry.

Quantum computing, on the other hand, is naturally capable of parallel computing due to this superposition. An electronic computer can divide the process into 30 calculations, and a quantum computer can divide the process into 30 parts, complete the calculations at the same time, and then superimpose the results. It's like if a person wants to complete a project, he can only do it partially.

Now suddenly there are multiple clones that can do different parts of the work at the same time, and finally the project is completed in one fell swoop,......"

Li Jianguo sighed softly, his son seemed to be doing this.

"But theory alone is not enough, technology has to be eaten little by little, and now the country is in ruins, and it is impossible to wait for the work of basic informatization to be carried out only after the quantum computer is built. ”

Li Yiming shook his head, "And when the same theory comes out, foreign countries must learn faster than us, and they have a good foundation." We have to be prepared for pre-research, and my idea now is to try to use the products that they have obsolete as much as possible, so that the cost is low. ”

"Will it not be easy to use?" Li Jianguo was a little worried, his son said that he used the things that others had eliminated, and he immediately remembered that the quality was very poor.

"Look at how to use it, I used to use the abacus by hand, and it is already very advanced to use this, and I am not going to let everyone use it, these are for professionals. ”

Li Yiming's idea is very simple, "It is a production tool, but it also needs to be matched with appropriate production relations, and I have now thought of how to use them, and they will be concentrated in schools and libraries around the country, with a professional team to provide local data services." ”

"That's ......," Li Jianguo thought for a while, "Then it will take a lot of machines, right?"

"It doesn't matter, there are more than 3,000 provinces, cities and counties, and each place has less than 20 or 30 machines. ”

Li Jianguo's face changed: "Didn't you say that this one would cost tens of thousands of yuan?"

"It's not all like this, this one costs seventy or eighty thousand yuan. Li Yiming gestured to the small machine in front of him.

"That's not enough money to buy machines, right?"

"It's not all like that. Some computers are very cheap, and the price of these things falls very quickly, two or three hundred dollars. There is also that Wang An company, which specializes in word processing machines, and now that personal computers are emerging, his products will soon be unsalable, in short, you don't take this as a standard, this kind of small computer is enough in one place. ”

"That's a lot of money. Li Jianguo sighed, although his son seems to be making money one after another, it seems that there are more places to spend money.

Li Yiming knew what his father was worried about: "You have also seen that document, the state is about to open up local township enterprises, and more than 100,000 people in a county are like blind people who don't know what's going on outside, and having an information data center to provide services can reduce a lot of losses." ”

Li Yiming exhaled softly, raised his hand and moved twice, saying that it was not sour and fake, and he also wanted to rest.

"I'll go. ”

"Drink water. ”

Li Jianguo walked over and brought the water bottle.

"Are your hands sore?"

Li Yiming shook his head while drinking water.

"Can you go back and get it?" Li Jianguo looked at his son and changed the question, "By the way, you said that this kind of machine will be difficult to buy?"

Li Yiming looked at the DEC minicomputer in front of him, and this question about his father was really difficult to answer.

He knew that the owner of the company was named Olsen, and the name was supposed to be from Northern Europe.

He also knew that DEC and IBM were rivals, and Olson wanted to defeat the company known as the Blue Giant because of his desire when he was young, and he did beat IBM in the minicomputer market, which is a man with ideals.

People who have ideals and persistence are terrible, especially after he is not short of money, Li Yiming does not know if such a businessman will have any prejudice against China, there is this possibility.

However, the success or failure of business competition is inconclusive, and IBM, which once only focused on mainframes, has also developed minicomputers to fight head-on with DEC, and DEC has also ignored the personal computer market and spawned Apple, which can only be said to ignore the changes in the market and will always be hurt.

Now they should be able to see the capacity of the personal computer market, I don't know if there is any intention to transform, if there is an impact on the old business will not be conducive to the sales of this kind of minicomputer will be conducive to the sale of this kind of minicomputer is really difficult to predict, and just now Li Yiming also saw in the newspaper about the company's stock price is rising, indicating that their current minicomputer products are very marketable.

That's right, Li Yiming prefers minicomputers to personal computers.

DEC is the forerunner of the minicomputer, and for Li Yiming, the minicomputer is more practical than the personal computer, China is so big, it is impossible to spread it out all at once so that many people can play games with the computer, and the computer in the family is a complete waste of resources.

COOPERATE WITH DEC MINICOMPUTERS TO SET UP A NOVELL NETWORK, DISKLESS WORKSTATIONS CAN ALLOW A TECHNICAL TEAM TO COMPLETE THE WORK OF LOCAL SERVICES, AFTER ALL, MANY SERVICE METHODS ARE CALLED IN TO ASK.

NOVELL is a local area network, it doesn't matter if you can't connect to the Internet, at most a computer is dedicated to data update, dial-up Internet mode.

Now that the environment is so complex, it is safer to use this local method, and you can buy a lot of time to develop your own technical standards.
