The world situation is becoming more and more complex, but no matter how the world changes, Zhang Wei can take it in stride, because he has a foundation in place, and with the resources at the disposal of future technology companies, he can even build an independent kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This is not a lie, on the moon, after more than a year of construction, a city belonging to the future technology company, is almost completed.

Now, people can clearly see this space city from the earth with a telescope, this space city is called the source city, named after Zhang Wei's son Zhang Yuan, the area is the size of a town, divided into administrative districts, residential areas, cultural districts, commercial areas and tourist areas, there are large supermarkets, theaters, cinemas, concert halls, hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums and nightclubs. In short, the inhabitants who live here can enjoy everything that the inhabitants of the planet can enjoy.

However, it is not self-sufficient in daily necessities and most of it needs to be transported from the earth.

Even so, the whole world is still shocked, and many people like to hold a telescope to watch the moon at night, and watch the space city full of a sense of science fiction take shape little by little, and the more they look at it, the more shocked they become, and they feel that the future technology company is really awesome! At present, the United States and Russia, the two big countries, with the strength of the whole country, can only build a base the size of a football field on the moon; Although India and some European countries have landed on the moon, they can only plant a few national flags, and then leave a few lonely robots, brazenly saying that the location of these things is their moon base; only future technology companies and China have the ability to build a city, and China can have such a strong strength, but also because with the help of future technology companies, space technology has been transformed and grown.

March 11, 2023, around 9 p.m.

When countless people are looking at the space city on the moon and sighing that the future technology company is very awesome, in the quantum technology research base of the future technology company, Zhang Wei and a group of personnel are doing the first test of a quantum computer that can subvert the entire world.

That's right, quantum computers. After Zhang Wei joined the quantum computer research team, quantum computer research has made rapid progress, and solving the bottleneck is as simple as drinking water, which makes all researchers sigh that Dr. Zhang is worthy of being recognized as a genius scientist by everyone.

In fact, the reason why he was able to make a breakthrough so quickly is because Zhang Wei has a deep understanding of quantum technology a long time ago, and published a paper on quantum entanglement in the journal Science in his sophomore year, and three papers related to quantum technology in his junior year. Now that he is fully committed to the research of quantum computers, and with Beidou and so many top scientists to help, it is normal to make breakthroughs. In the field of quantum technology, the only thing that Zhang Wei is not sure about is the quantum long-distance teleportation technology that allows people to move instantly between stars.

"Dr. Ye, open the link to the quantum computer and load it into 'quantum language' and 'quantum algorithm'. ”

Zhang Wei looked at a young researcher beside him and commanded.

Quantum computers are completely different from traditional computers, and naturally need new "algorithms" and "languages", and "quantum algorithms" and "quantum languages" are tailored by Zhang Wei for quantum computers, which can make quantum computers give full play to their superior performance.

The young researcher nodded excitedly, and immediately began to operate, using the control terminal to open the wireless link interface of the quantum computer, and load the prepared data into the quantum computer, and after a while, a progress bar appeared on the display screen.

Zhang Wei glanced at the progress bar, and then shifted his gaze to the quantum computer in the computer room in front of him, which was isolated from the outside world.

This quantum computer is a big one, covering an area of 220 square meters, which is 50 square meters larger than the first electronic computer on Earth, "Eniake".

Quantum computers are not only large, but also operate under very harsh conditions, because quantum mechanics is a science that studies the microscopic scale, and in order to control the qubits of the computer, it is actually necessary to manipulate a single atom, and the speed of the atom at room temperature is as high as hundreds of meters per second, and only by keeping the atoms in a very low temperature state can it be controlled. Therefore, the temperature of the core part of the quantum computer has been stable at -273C, which is only 0.015C above the absolute zero of the universe. In addition, quantum computers need to be placed in an environment that is 50,000 times weaker than the Earth's magnetic field (basically equivalent to no magnetic field) and the atmospheric pressure is 10 billion times smaller than the Earth (basically equivalent to a vacuum) to maintain the stability of the quantum state. From this point of view, the quantum computer can be called a delicate princess who is difficult to serve.

However, even if this princess is difficult to serve, Zhang Wei and others must satisfy "her", because the birth of "her" is no less significant to mankind than the birth of the world's first electronic computer "Eniake".

"Didi!"

After a while, the prompt sounded, and Zhang Wei glanced at the progress bar and found that he had finished reading.

"Everyone, test it now. ”

Zhang Wei rubbed his palms, looking a little excited.

Other researchers immediately mobilized to get the instruments connected to the quantum computer up and running, and the quantum computer was up and running.

As time passed, Zhang Wei and others' eyes became brighter and brighter......

"Haha, it worked! It worked! Dr. Zhang, we made it!"

“23%…… 39…… 73%…… 98%…… The computing speed of a quantum computer is 98% of the theoretical peak speed!"

"We have created a real general-purpose quantum computer, not a pseudo-quantum computer specially optimized based on the simulated annealing algorithm of DWA~VE!"

"We witnessed the birth of the first quantum computer in human history!"

The researchers looked at the test results displayed on the screen, their eyes widened ~ round, and they cheered loudly with excitement, and this usually quiet and serious place was instantly overwhelmed by the cheers.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but be a little excited, passing the test means that he really succeeded, and his months of hard work were not wasted!

If other scientists working on quantum computers knew what he was thinking at this time, they would have the urge to vomit blood, you know, they have been studying for decades, and they don't even see any hope of success.

After a few minutes, the researchers fell silent, but the smiles on their faces could not be hidden.

"It's been a hard work for everyone. ”

Zhang Wei's gaze swept over the researchers' faces one by one, with a smile on his face, and said, "In our company, how much you contribute, how much you will return, your efforts, your efforts, will be worth it." Now I am announcing that all members of the quantum computer research team will receive two million prizes, a three-bedroom house on the moon, a villa on Mars, and ...... A D-200 potion!"

D-200 is a castrated version of the second-generation Genetic Evolution Fluid, which has all the properties of the second-generation Genetic Evolution Fluid, but can only extend the lifespan of a person to 200 years, similar to D-250, D300...... Every 50 years of life is a grade, which is dedicated to rewarding core employees who contribute to the future technology company, the greater the contribution, the more life will be extended!

However, the D-200 series of pharmaceuticals is the core secret of the future technology company, and only the employees who have received the award have the permission to know, and they must be strictly kept secret, even if they are family members!

As a result, these researchers do not know what D-200 pills mean.

At this moment, Zhang Wei briefly explained and told the researchers that D-200 is a second-generation genetic evolution liquid, which has a great improvement in performance compared to the first-generation genetic evolution liquid, for example, it can allow them to adapt to different gravity on various planets, can make people have an average of 12 times the physique of ordinary people, and most importantly, can make them live to 200 years old!

The researchers' breathing suddenly became short, and their eyes lit up, these four rewards, one is more precious than the other, especially the D-200 potion! The 12 times the physique of ordinary people means that they can dodge rifle bullets 200 meters away like Ye Chen, the "strongest human in history" who is currently popular all over the world, which is a proper superman! And being able to live to 200 years old means that they have increased their life span by another 50 years! This is 50 years! In ancient times, how many emperors couldn't prolong their lives for a year, but they suddenly had 50 more years!

Researchers are thrilled that joining a future technology company is the wisest choice they have ever made in their lives! High income, high social status, good welfare, and a bright future! Not long ago, the first generation of genetic evolution fluid was injected, which extended the life expectancy to 150 years old, and now it has extended the life expectancy to 200 years, and if they continue to contribute to the company, they may be able to extend their life to 1000 years?

Thinking of this, the researchers' eyes were red, and they secretly said in their hearts, they must stay in the company, work hard, and grow together with the company!

Zhang Wei saw this scene, the smile on his face was even stronger, the future technology company now has more than 350,000 employees, basically the elite of the elite, is a rare talent, for talents, he has always been very generous, because the future technology company has now grown into a huge technology empire, without the support of excellent talents, this empire can not operate. And the rewards they receive are nothing compared to the value they create.

What does it mean to take a quantum computer? This means a great revolution, as long as all 80 qubits can be in a controllable superposition of interrelated qubits, the peak computing power of a quantum computer can reach 2 to the 80th power, which is equivalent to the total computing power of the world today.

And there are so many changes that this amount of computing power can bring to the world.

One of the simplest applications is to provide more accurate weather forecasts. Most of the current weather forecasts are based on probe data, and sometimes they are quite unreliable, and for a whole week, showers, moderate rain, and light rain are said every day, but not a drop of rain is seen. But quantum computers can analyze all the data at once, giving us better models that show exactly when and where severe weather will occur.

In addition, quantum computers can play an unparalleled role in artificial intelligence, geological research, space exploration, genetic engineering, scientific theory verification and other scientific fields that require computing. For example, in the virtual world project, it is enough to have a quantum computer, instead of preparing tens of thousands of supercomputers for this purpose!

However, the current quantum computer is not so awesome, because it can only keep 40 qubits in a controllable superposition state that is related to each other, that is, the peak computing power is only 2 to the 40th power, which is not as good as China's "Shenwei Taihu Light" supercomputer. But this does not mean that the quantum computer project has failed, the world's first electronic computer "Eniac") has an operation speed of about 5,000 times per second, which is not as fast as the current ordinary calculator, the world's first steam-powered train, which is only 5 to 6 kilometers per hour, much slower than riding a horse, and the world's first airplane only stayed in the air for 12 seconds and flew about 36.6 meters.

However, history has proven how great the potential of these inventions is, and the same is true for quantum computers, Zhang Wei is confident that he will develop a quantum computer to 50 qubits within two months, and then its computing power will surpass the sum of all the world's top 500 supercomputers!

Next.

Quantum technology research base.

"This is a quantum computer? ”

Qin Xiaobu said curiously.

Liu Hai and Zhang Zhijian watched from the sidelines, also curious.

"The first electronic computer was also quite large, covering an area of 170 square meters, but now it is about the size of a watch, and quantum computers will develop to this point in the future. ”

Zhang Wei said confidently.

Qin Xiaobu nodded and agreed, this is the trend of scientific and technological development.

"I've seen that as long as quantum computers reach 80 qubits, they can crush all the computers in the world combined. In the face of such terrifying computing power, the current RSA encryption algorithm is vulnerable, and all encrypted information will be cracked in the simplest brute force method, and anyone with a quantum computer can crack the encrypted data of banks, governments, armies, and enterprises in minutes or even seconds. So, I don't think this thing can be brought to the market until society is ready, and we can only use it ourselves, otherwise it will be a disaster. ”

Bangs said solemnly.

"Of course, good things must be used by ourselves first, and in a few years, quantum computers will not be introduced to the market, and our company is not short of that money. In a few years' time, we'll only be a generation or two behind. In addition, the problem you are worried about is not a problem at all, quantum technology itself is the best means of encryption. Quantum is not clonable, so the key made with quantum technology is non-replicable and absolutely safe, even if the data is unfortunately captured by hackers, because the quantum state will be changed during the measurement process, the hacker will steal meaningless data. ”

Zhang Wei paused, and changed the topic, "I came to you today not to talk about quantum computers, but about the virtual world plan." The success of the quantum computer came sooner than I expected, which means that we can rely on the huge computing power of the quantum computer to complete the construction of the virtual world ahead of schedule, and the virtual world plan we made at the beginning should also be brought forward accordingly. ”

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this, with a quantum computer, the virtual world can indeed be launched in advance!

"How far in advance?"

Qin Xiaobu asked.

"It can probably be advanced to February or March next year, that is, after the Spring Festival holiday, the virtual world will almost be available. ”

Zhang Wei said with some expectation.

When Liu Hai, Qin Xiaobu, and Zhang Zhijian heard this, they couldn't help but look forward to it, the virtual world project is a gold mine that can never be dug up for future technology companies! Because the virtual world is the ultimate form of the Internet, even if technology develops for thousands of years, the virtual world cannot be replaced! )
