Chapter 574

The gaze returned to Huaguo.

On the side of the Quantum Information Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after Gu Lu and Academician Guo jointly formulated the experimental plan of 30 qubits, they immediately carried out experiments step by step according to the content described in the experimental plan to obtain various data parameters.

And so the days passed.

With the blessing of Gu Lu's daily stay up late and overtime and liver explosion drugs, the research and development progress of quantum chips can also be called fast.

It's just that staying up late for a long time has caused a lot of damage to Gu Lu's body.

So that now Gu Lu can only spend his days holding a thermos cup soaked in wolfberries every day.

As the saying goes, when people reach middle age, they have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup.

Although Gu Luren has not yet reached middle age, his body is really weak due to staying up late for a long time, so he can only be conditioned through drugs such as wolfberry water and ginseng tea.

…………

December 31, 2019.

It was the last day of 2019.

The streets of Yanjing are filled with a festive atmosphere.

However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, across the street, is shrouded in bright lights, but it is only tense and busy, and there is no festival celebration at all.

Inside the Quantum Optics Laboratory.

Everyone is doing their job, not affected by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers from the outside world, and meticulously carrying out the experiments in front of them.

In the director's office on the top floor, Gu Lu and Academician Guo sat opposite each other, discussing in a low voice while sorting out the data parameters obtained from the experiment a few days ago.

Suddenly.

Boom, bang!

The sound of fireworks outside the house began to become dense.

The pitch-black sky was splendidly transformed into colorful brilliance, and the light shone through the window on the side faces of Gu Lu and Academician Guo.

Academician Guo stopped his pen and glanced up at the wall clock hanging on the wall of his office.

"No wonder it's so loud, it's already twelve o'clock!" Academician Guo leaned back in his chair and sighed with a smile, "Time is so fast, I didn't expect to enter 2020 so soon!"

"Yes, time is so fast!" Gu Lu picked up the thermos cup in front of him and took a sip of wolfberry tea, and responded with a smile.

2019 is over, 2020 is coming!

This heralds a new page in history.

At this time node, there will be countless proud sons of heaven on the big stage of the world.

At the same time, the year 2020 also has a special meaning for China.

Many major country-level plans are scheduled to be fully implemented in 2020.

For China, this is a year full of dangers and opportunities.

Of course......

The arrival of 2020 means another thing for Gu Lu.

That is, Gu Lu is one year older.

From a twenty-five-year-old single dog, he has evolved into a ...... A twenty-six-year-old single dog!

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Lu faintly felt a little painful.

Gu Lu has almost saved enough money to buy a house and a car in Yanjing, and he originally wanted to find a girlfriend in 2019.

Otherwise, it's not a matter of being single all the time.

But Gu Lu didn't expect that the decision to join the semiconductor quantum chip project team completely disrupted his original plan.

The project team will be so busy, which Gu Law Firm did not expect.

is so busy that Gu Lu doesn't have time to go out and hook up with the little girl.

Especially in the past few months when I moved to the family hospital of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, let alone looking for a girlfriend, except for An Yu and several other female researchers in the project team headquarters, it is difficult for Gu Lu to even meet a woman.

"Alas, the plan can't catch up with the changes, the matter of finding a wife, let's postpone it to next year, anyway, it should be mine and it will be mine, this can't run. ”

comforting himself like this, Gu Lu's heart felt a lot better.

…………

And Academician Guo, on his side, turned his head to look at the brilliant fireworks outside the window, and sighed again, "New Year's Day, new weather, but this New Year's Day, it's a little bad time!"

When New Year's Day came, Academician Guo should have been happy, but Academician Guo was not happy at all now.

The reason is simple.

Because the arrival of New Year's Day means that there is not much time left for their project team.

It's January 1, 2020.

Calculating the time, the original period of half a year is now only two months away.

Two months, that's a pretty tight time.

If their project team can't take the lead in completing the research and development of a quantum computer in the next two months, then most likely, the world's first quantum computer will be born on the side of IBM in the United States.

That's the brutal truth.

Moreover......

Two months is just an approximate estimate of the time for Academician Guo.

But in fact, the time left for the project team will only be shorter than two months, and it will not be more than two months.

What kind of people are gathered on IBM's side, Academician Guo couldn't be clearer.

After all, Academician Guo was also invited to join at the beginning.

If you want to expect that group of top talents in the field to make some fundamental mistakes, it is better to hope for a meteorite annihilation.

In the IBM Quantum Computing Center, there are several people who are on a par with Academician Guo in terms of academic level, and Academician Guo does not mean to look down on him.

Iron also needs to be hard!

If you want to win this arms race in the quantum computer neighborhood, it is unrealistic to expect the opponent to make a mistake, and you can only believe in yourself.

However, the time left for them was too short.

Therefore, Academician Guo doesn't want this New Year's Day to come so soon.

If you can, Academician Guo hopes that this New Year's Day can be a while later, so that the possibility of their side winning the victory will be greater!

Although during this time, with him and Gu Lu working overtime around the clock, the possibility of the project team winning this competition is gradually increasing.

But on the whole, it is still the IBM side of the United States that has a greater chance of winning. ‘

And it was not difficult for Gu Lu to understand the meaning of Academician Guo's words just now, and he also fell into silence.

"Old Guo, since we made this choice, we were already mentally prepared for failure, so let's do our best and don't have too many worries!" After a few seconds of silence, Gu Lu said softly.

"Haha, that's right. A ruddy look appeared on Academician Guo's face, "It is not easy for us to go from the situation where there was no one in ten thousand at that time and there is no life in a hundred lives to the situation where we can carry out a long and short period now." ”

"Each of us did our best, even if we lost, we have no regrets!"

Academician Guo smiled, and smiled very calmly.

Gu Lu smiled knowingly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Old Guo, let's continue." ”

Academician Guo nodded, picked up the pen on the table, "Okay, let's continue!"

On January 1, 2020, the R&D competition on quantum computers officially entered the countdown stage.

The victory of the rice country is in hand, and the country of China is catching up.

Who will win or lose, it is not a sure number now!
