Chapter 587

IBM Center for Quantum Computing, Director's Office.

Director Philock shouted at several of his subordinate employees.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang.

"Lord...... The director, which should be the phone number of the director of the company. A subordinate reminded tremblingly.

"I know. Director Philock replied with a straight face.

At this time, the call is still through the company's internal telephone line, and there should be no other possibility except for the directors of IBM.

Taking a deep breath, Director Philoc glared at everyone fiercely, and hesitated to answer the phone.

"Hey, I'm Philock. ”

"Director Frank, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the situation is now that none of us expected,...... I know you're angry, but getting angry right now won't solve anything,...... According to the research progress of our quantum computing center, give us two more days, and we will definitely develop a quantum computer. ”

“…… Yes, I will go to the company's headquarters right away and explain this to the company's directors, please wait!"

"Whew-"

With a light breath, Director Philoc hung up.

Turn around.

Director Philock's calm gaze scanned the people in the office.

"You should have heard the content of the call just now, and the board of directors asked me to go to the company's headquarters. ”

"On the board, I would personally submit my resignation and try to take on most of the responsibilities. ”

"And on your side, the director side is not expected to blame too much, just need to complete our follow-up work in the next two days and successfully develop that quantum computer. ”

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Director Philok's mouth, "Although our quantum computer is no longer the world's first quantum computer, it is at least the world's first quantum computer based on superconducting chips. ”

At this time, Director Philock could only comfort himself like this.

And everyone in the quantum computing center in the conference room, when they heard Director Philock say that he would take most of the responsibility and resign voluntarily, everyone showed a moving look on their faces.

"Director, doesn't it end here?" Kimi swallowed hard and spoke cautiously.

Director Philock sighed inwardly, "That's it. Now the whole domestic scientific research circle is excited, and many people are indignant at this failure. ”

And at this time, IBM will definitely come out with a scapegoat in order to quell this anger. Speaking of this, Director Philock's tone paused, "And I'm the best candidate for that scapegoat." ”

Philock was right.

As the director of the quantum computing center, he is indeed the scapegoat chosen by IBM.

Although IBM is a big family, it does not have the courage to stand on the opposite side of the scientific research circles in the country.

It should be clear that the research and development of many new products and breakthroughs in new technologies of IBM need the assistance of that group of people in the scientific research circle.

Inside the conference room.

After listening to these words of Director Philock, the atmosphere of everyone became silent again.

After a long silence, a voice spoke, "Director, after resigning, where do you plan to go?"

Director Philoc smiled indifferently, "Under the world, where can't you settle down!"

In China, Director Philoc estimates that he can't get along.

With a black pot on his back, he is almost becoming an existence that everyone shouts at in China, and it is estimated that no research institute will use him.

But if you can't mix it at home, you can go abroad.

Director Philoc has a lot of skills, and he is a top bull on the same level as Academician Guo in the field of quantum computers, and he is not worried about being starved to death abroad.

He can go to Yingguo, go to Germany, or even ...... Go to Huaguo!

Director Philock picked up the resignation application that had been written on his desk and patted Kimi on the shoulder before leaving.

"Kimi, after I'm gone, this research center will be handed over to you!"

"The development of quantum computers is a point you are focusing on, and you have to hurry up and get it done. In addition, after the successful development of quantum computers, our deployment should be the same as that of China, and we should be committed to realizing the miniaturization of quantum computers. ”

"According to my speculation, the miniaturization of quantum computers will be the next outlet, and whoever can be the first to realize it, and then let quantum computers enter thousands of households, will be able to take a big step ahead of the times. ”

"But the task on our side is more onerous than on the Chinese side. The reason is very simple, superconducting quantum chips have a fatal disadvantage compared with semiconductor quantum chips, that is, the cost. Therefore, in the subsequent process of miniaturizing quantum computers, you should also try to find a way to reduce the cost of chips. ”

"Otherwise, in the case of the same performance, the superconducting quantum computer with higher cost price will not have any market competitiveness at all compared with Huaguo's semiconductor quantum computer. ”

"Kimmy, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Director Philock spoke earnestly.

Kimi nodded heavily, as if he had taken over some kind of sacred responsibility, "Director, I know. ”

Director Philoc patted Kimi on the shoulder again, "In that case, I don't have anything to worry about. ”

Director Philoc looked at more than a dozen familiar faces in the office and smiled, "Everyone, we, we are destined to see you again!"

After saying this, Director Philoc turned his head and left directly.

Looking at Director Philock's back gradually moving away, someone murmured softly, "Director Philock, he's a good person!"

…………

On the way to IBM's headquarters, Director Philock leaned on the back of a taxi, full of thoughts.

Open domestic academic forums.

Director Philock could see the dense posts, and he had already sprayed everyone at the IBM Quantum Computing Center, including himself.

Even Google and Microsoft have been affected.

This left the staff of the research institutes of the two companies speechless.

But in the face of this inexplicable lying gun, they have no confidence to refute.

In the field of scientific research, defeat is defeat.

As a loser, no matter how many explanations and reasons there are, they are all pale and powerless.

And this time......

They fell a big step in front of Huaguo's semiconductor quantum chip project team.

Looking at the missed calls on the mobile phone one by one, Director Philoc directly turned off the mobile phone, and then rubbed his temples with a headache.

As soon as he thought that he would be put in a certain black pot by the group of directors of the company later, Director Philock's mood became even heavier.

In fact, in the opinion of Director Philoc, the strength of the IBM Quantum Computing Center this time, the company's group of directors have to bear a large part of the responsibility.
