Chapter 479: Prototype

Chapter 479

Minister Jiang was very skeptical that Gu Lu didn't take the matter of applying for Jieqing to heart at all.

Others must have submitted the materials in a hurry.

But Gu Lu's side, if it weren't for his reminder from this chance meeting, Gu Lu would probably miss the time to apply for outstanding youth this year.

It's really ......

Minister Jiang really didn't know what to say.

But then again.

According to Gu Lu's current position, there is indeed no need to attach too much importance to the quota of a outstanding young man.

The current quota of outstanding young people can only be called the icing on the cake for Gu Lu.

Maybe not even the icing on the cake.

Not being able to get the outstanding young person quota will not shake Gu Luhua's status as the first young generation in the mathematics community, will not erase the legend created by Gu Lu in the aerospace field, and will not affect Gu Lu's core membership in the semiconductor quantum chip project team.

Actually, if you think about it so carefully, it doesn't matter to Gu Lu whether you become a Jieqing or not.

In addition to the one million scientific research funds that he will receive every year after becoming a distinguished young man, it may make Gu Lu feel a little painful.

This is what Minister Jiang thinks.

But what Minister Jiang probably didn't expect was that Gu Lu was worried about that large amount of scientific research funds.

Minister Jiang has already made it so clear, so this year's quota for Gu Lu's outstanding young man will definitely not be able to run away.

If he could, Gu Lu would rather only need the title of Outstanding Young Person, and return all the scientific research funds allocated every year to the National Natural Science Foundation.

The reason is simple......

Because Gu Lu really has no place to spend money!

Gu Lu spent a lot of effort to spend the 300,000 scientific research funds of Youqing before, but this time he directly gave one million in one go, and Gu Lu was very worried that he couldn't spend it!

Ay!

Sure enough, there is too much money, and troubles will follow.

Gu Lu fell into a faint sorrow.

And Minister Jiang's words brought Gu Lu's thoughts back to reality, "Gu Lu, you work well under Academician Guo." ”

"I think you know the importance of quantum computers better than me, what we have to do is to seize this market, no matter how bad it is, we can't let the United States dominate!

Gu Lu's face was solemn, and he replied in a serious tone, "Minister Jiang, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"

"Haha, good, good. Minister Jiang patted Gu Lu's shoulder with a smile, then turned his head to Academician Guo and said, "Then I won't delay your work, if you have any financial personnel needs here, you can contact me at any time, and our Ministry of Science and Technology will definitely spare no effort to meet it!"

After saying this, Minister Jiang waved his hand and left.

After sending Minister Jiang away, Academician Guo glanced at Gu Lu up and down, "I didn't expect Professor Gu that you and Minister Jiang still know each other?"

Gu Lu waved his hand and said modestly, "I just met it once by chance before, but I didn't expect Minister Jiang to remember me." ”

"Academician Guo, if there is nothing else, then I will go back to the laboratory. Gu Lu pointed out the door.

"Hey, wait a minute. Academician Guo did not let Gu Lu leave in a hurry, but called his student Ai Liang and instructed, "Ai Liang, you take Professor Gu to the data archive room of our laboratory, and make a copy of the experimental data of those related graphene semiconductor materials for Professor Gu to take away." ”

"Yes, teacher. Ai nodded brightly.

Academician Guo's gentle gaze fell on Gu Lu, "You should have learned that our team has also carried out many experimental improvements on graphene, a semiconductor material. Although the results are not so satisfactory, I would like you to make a copy and read it back, so that it may be of some help to your research work. ”

Gu Lu nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Academician Guo." ”

Gu Lu knew the preciousness of those experimental data.

Although the results were all failures, Gu Lu could learn a lot from them.

At the very least, the same mistake won't be made again.

…………

Ai Liang left the auditorium with Gu Lu and went straight to the Quantum Information Laboratory.

On the second floor of the laboratory, after Ai Liang swiped his card for verification, he walked into a rather spacious room with Gu Lu.

The room area is very large, almost four or five hundred square meters, occupying almost half of the entire floor.

In the center of the room, a huge instrument sits along.

To be precise, it is a huge instrument made up of dozens of devices connected in one piece.

The equipment covers an area of almost two hundred square meters, and Gu Lu stood at the door and swept it over, and he couldn't even cover the whole picture of the entire instrument as far as his sight could see.

In front of the instrument, more than two dozen researchers in light blue lab coats were busy shuttling around.

This group of people were all under the original team of Academician Guo, and as soon as the mobilization meeting ended, they returned to the laboratory to change into experimental clothes and continue to work.

"This should be the prototype of a quantum computer!" Without Ai Liang explaining, Gu Lu had already guessed what the giant-like instrument in front of him was.

The reason is simple.

Looking back on the history of computer development, the electronic computer was huge when it was just invented in the 50s of the 20th century, and the first electronic computer "ENIAC" covered an area of more than 170 square meters.

It is not until the present that it has become a device that can be held in the hand.

At present, quantum computers, which are in their infancy, seem to be repeating the story of the pastβ€”β€”- in order to achieve precise control of quantum chips, the instruments and equipment that need to be used must also occupy a huge space.

So there was this scene that Gu Law Firm saw in front of him.

The prototype of this behemoth-like quantum computer occupies nearly half of the room.

Obviously.

A quantum computer in such a state cannot be commercially available.

Ai Liangliang, who was standing on Gu Lu's side, nodded, "That's right, this is the prototype of the third-generation quantum computer we assembled. ”

"In fact, the size of this instrument is okay now, when it was in the nineties of the last century, the first generation of prototypes assembled by the teacher and us covered an area of nearly 500 square meters. Ai Liang told Gu Lu an interesting story about the past.

"Haven't you ever thought about miniaturizing such a large piece of equipment?" Gu Lu asked suspiciously.

Ai Liang nodded and did not hide Gu Lu, "I had this idea before, but I suddenly received this task of developing semiconductor quantum chips, so I could only put this matter on hold for the time being." ”

"The development of quantum computers has become a top priority, and the miniaturization of quantum computers and their commercialization have become a secondary matter. ”
