Volume I, Chapter 15, Quantum Repeaters, January 2116
Tang Jingtao has been in Lex for almost a week.
Today, Tang Jingtao, accompanied by a beautiful Gilman woman, visited the production line of "Lex".
Blonde, with a professional skirt and stockings and high heels, this Gilman beauty is a director of the technical department of "Lex". Tang Jingtao and this blonde beauty were together, feeling very stressed, because the Gilman was not only good-looking, but also very tall. Tang Jingtao's height of 1.8 meters is just as tall as this beautiful supervisor.
When the two first met, Tang Jingtao would always notice her high heels, (fortunately, only two centimeters, not 5 centimeters!) Tang Jingtao secretly congratulated himself in his heart, like other men, Tang Jingtao did not like to walk with women who were taller than him.
"Doctor, this is our production line." The beautiful supervisor introduced in C.
The two walked in the huge production workshop, as if the two dwarfs had crashed into the giant's cave, the noise in the workshop was very loud, but Tang Jingtao couldn't hear any noise - he was wearing a special earplug, which was also developed by "Lex", called "Active Noise Cancellation" earbuds, "Active Noise Cancellation" earbuds only block noise, but they will not block the voice of the beautiful woman next to him, this earbud is intelligent, there is a chip in it, which can identify different sounds and cancel out the sound waves in the noise frequency band.
Tang Jingtao saw that on the production line, robots were being assembled, which was a bit unexpected - it was actually assembled by many workers by hand! Tang Jingtao thought it was a machine assembly line, all assembled by mechanical arms, but he didn't expect it to be assembled by workers.
The beautiful supervisor saw the confusion in Tang Jingtao's eyes, so she explained: "At present, there is no large-scale production," she pointed to the workers working not far away, "They are not ordinary workers, they are all engineers." They personally participate in the production, so that, in the future, a more user-friendly and efficient assembly line can be designed. ”
(Oh?) Tang Jingtao was taken aback, because, as far as he knew, there were many engineers in country C, most of them, but they sat in the office room, looked at the copywriting design drawings, and occasionally went to the scene to "guide" the work, and rarely did it themselves. He couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.
"Not only do you have to do it yourself, but also," says the beautiful supervisor, "I have to work on the production line every Friday for a morning!" ”
Hearing what the beautiful director said, Tang Jingtao had to speak: "No wonder, the most outstanding machinery in the world is the machinery of Gilman Kingdom. He gave a thumbs up.
"Doctor, would you like to talk to them?" The beautiful supervisor smiled.
(This...... Tang Jingtao was a little hesitant, his Gilman language was not very good.
"It doesn't matter, a few of them are pretty good." The beautiful supervisor smiled.
"How do you compare?" Tang Jingtao said with a smile.
"As good as I am, you don't have to worry." The beautiful supervisor said.
Tang Jingtao walked over with the beautiful supervisor and talked to the engineers. Soon after, he and the beautiful supervisor left this workshop and went to another workshop - the workshop for the production of quantum repeaters.
As early as the time of Chen Guangbiao's surgery, the quantum repeater came in handy, and in simple terms, the quantum repeater was equivalent to the memory module of the computer, which was used to temporarily store data.
In the quantum repeater production workshop, Tang Jingtao saw a fully automatic production line. The fully automatic production line can only be seen through the glass, because this is a "dust-free" production line, and there is not even a single particle of dust in the production line, which is melted away from the outside. In the production line, there is a worker walking around, he is wearing a protective suit, bulky and heavy, like an astronaut in an empty spacesuit. Tang Jingtao knew that the clothes were used to prevent static electricity and dust.
Seeing the "dust-free" production line, Tang Jingtao was not surprised, in "Feiyun", there are also several "dust-free" production lines, in the production line, the protective clothing worn by the workers of "Feiyun" is much lighter than the bulky "spacesuit" that Tang Jingtao sees now, he secretly thought, maybe, in terms of protective clothing, the technology of our country C is still more advanced than that of Gilman.
However, the next introduction of the beautiful supervisor taught him another lesson.
"The protective clothing of our workers is old, and there is no new style design, because there is no need for this, and the next step is to replace the workers with stand-in robots to work in the 'dust-free' production line." The beauty supervisor introduced.
(What, your stand-in robot,) Tang Jingtao was secretly surprised, (can already engage in the production of precision instruments?) According to Tang Jingtao's understanding, the stand-in robots produced by Feiyun Company can only do some ordinary work, such as doormen, security guards, and transportation......
(No wonder!) Tang Jingtao recalled what Raltz said when he met with President Raltz, (No wonder, Raltz wanted to ask himself if there was a way to improve the synchronization efficiency of the stand-in robot with the human brain, it turned out that from the beginning, they planned to make a better robot, a stand-in robot that could engage in precision affairs.) )
“the_best_or_nothing。 We have always been not to do it, but to do it to be the best. The female supervisor puffed up her chest and said with some pride.
Of course, there are also many people in country C who say on the news all day long, "We have always done not to do it, and we have to do the best." However, Tang Jingtao knew that those people were just putting gold on their brains and talking.
Thinking of this, Tang Jingtao sighed secretly in his heart, all along, the intellectual property protection of country C is really poor, you can do the best, however, the best thing you make will soon be plagiarized by others, in such an intellectual property protection environment, who TNMD will really do the best, and then, watch others plagiarize their originality!
Fortunately, IP protection in Country C has improved over the years. At least, Feiyun hasn't had too many lawsuits over intellectual property rights so far.
"Thanks to your company's technical support, we only completed a major quantum computing project a few days ago." Tang Jingtao smiled at the beautiful supervisor.
"Oh? Are you sure? We are also honored to work with experts from country C. The beautiful director said modestly, "Can you ask what major project the doctor is?" ”
Tang Jingtao was a little hesitant, it was obvious that he couldn't tell this blonde beauty about Chen Guangbiao's brain replacement surgery.
"Oh, it seems that the doctor is not convenient to say," the beautiful woman smiled knowingly, "then I won't ask." ”
"Oh, it's not like that, it's not like that," Tang Jingtao quickly explained, "In fact, it is a new 'spacesuit' design project that uses a quantum repeater." Tang Jingtao thought of the "astronaut" he had just seen and made up a story.
Tang Jingtao recalled: When Chen Guangbiao had a brain replacement operation, "Lex" provided all the old technologies from a few years ago, but it was these old technologies that also gave great inspiration to the engineers of country C in the design of quantum repeaters.
Tang Jingtao can feel that "Lex" can make such an excellent quantum repeater, but it stands to reason that in terms of the communication efficiency between the stand-in robot and the human brain, President Raltz should not ask himself questions, but should help him find a way. However, Tang Jingtao thought about it, and it was possible that people were "shameless to ask", or, "knowingly ask".
"In fact, we also want to buy some more quantum repeater technology from Lex." Tang Jingtao said to the beautiful supervisor.
On the production line, Tang Jingtao saw that the repeater with the same operating rate, produced by "Lex", was much smaller than that produced by "Feiyun". In electronic products, "concentration is the essence", it is absolutely reasonable to use this yardstick to measure the quality of electronic products, and Tang Jingtao has always agreed with this standard.
It's like the first generation of computers, which can fit in three rooms, and the computing rate is as slow as a snail, and it often fails, and now, a computer is only the size of a mobile phone, and the computing speed is amazingly fast.
"Perhaps, country C is indeed inferior to Gilman in materials science, but, throughout history, country C has always had the smartest brain in the world, so Mr. Raltz often told us to learn more from experts in country C." At the end of the visit, when saying goodbye to Tang Jingtao, the beauty supervisor complimented, "Later, I went to study C literature." ”
"You've won a prize." Tang Jingtao said.
The two waved goodbye, and Tang Jingtao will visit other subsidiaries of "Lex".
After eating lunch, Tang Jingtao inadvertently met the blonde beauty who took him to visit the production line in the morning. The two greeted each other again, and at this time, Tang Jingtao was surprised to find that she was actually half a head taller than herself. (I see.) Tang Jingtao saw her high heels—they were still the same in the morning, and they hadn't been changed, but the heels of the high heels were obviously much longer than in the morning.
Not long after, Tang Jingtao confirmed that even her heels were high-tech and could be adjusted.
A week later, Tang Jingtao ended his visit to "Lex", and on the plane back to China, Tang Jingtao felt some regret, because, in Gilman, a woman lowered the height of her heels in order to take care of her feelings as a man.
(Perhaps, country C is indeed inferior to Gilman in materials science, but, throughout history, country C has always had the most intelligent brain in the world, so Mr. Raltz often tells us to learn more from country C experts.) )
Tang Jingtao thought back to the words of the beautiful director, after a week of investigation, he was sure that Lex had not yet experimented on mutants, and he guessed that they should not know about the existence of Zhang Xiaozhu's super brain, and they should not have thought about it yet.
However, in the dark, the Gilman people seem to have always known: Country C will always have the smartest brain in the world!
