In Duke's team, there is a special researcher from Canada, although he is not well-known now, but in Duke's opinion, he is one of the most cutting-edge scientists in the world to study quantum computing today.

Because seven or eight years ago Girard. Mr. Pitt made a special device out of niobium metal, and when this equipment was operated at ultra-low temperatures, Gillard Pett made a special device out of niobium. Pitt claims that he has succeeded in achieving some simple and controllable quantum effects, but Girard. Unbeknownst to Pete, he made niobium metal superconductive at ultra-low temperatures, which led to a very bizarre mixed state of clockwise, counterclockwise and cis-backward currents when the metal was conductive, which is very similar to quantum operation, but this is not true quantum computing.

Duke knew that Girard. Mr. Pitt is close to the edge of the manufacture of real quantum computing devices, but his implementation method is not ideal, to be precise, the manufacturing process and materials are still far from the description in the proposal given by Billem, but there is no doubt that Girard. Pete's research in this area has been far ahead of the world, because there are many special properties in the star field where Billem is located, which cannot be found on Earth at present.

If it weren't for Duke's description of the material properties given by Billem to realize a real quantum computer, Duke wouldn't know where to start. According to the current level of quantum computing technology on Earth, Duke can only continue to trial and error from many possibilities, and he doesn't know how much time he will waste to find what he really needs.

But since Girard. Pitt has found something that approximates real quantum computing, which means that he is close to the edge of success.

For such a scientist, Duke certainly wouldn't let go, and luckily Girard. Although Pitt was once famous, the scientist who claimed to have invented the "real" quantum computer a few years ago also attracted a lot of attention at the time, and two bold venture capital firms invested tens of millions of dollars in it. Pete founded a QuantumComputing company to develop what he calls quantum computers.

If Girard. Pitt can really build a quantum computer, even if it looks ugly, but as long as real quantum computing can be realized to solve some practical problems, venture capital companies can naturally make huge profits from it. But it's a pity that Girard. Pitt said it too early, he invented something that could only approximate some features of quantum computing, but it was never possible to solve real-world problems, such as floating-point arithmetic or artificial intelligence reasoning. Pitt is exaggerating that what he invented can't actually do anything in reality.

Venture capital companies are not stupid, seeing that there is no hope, after investing tens of millions of dollars at the beginning, seeing that there are no substantive results coming out, they will die down, QuantumComputing lost the continuous injection of venture capital, and soon could not sustain itself, this is a very money-burning research field, not to mention tens of millions of dollars a year, even hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of dollars are not much.

Lacking the necessary funding for scientific research, Girard. Not only was Pitt unable to keep the research team he had worked so hard to manage, but he couldn't even maintain the laboratory. Pete is already exhausted and uncared for.

No results, no funding, Girard. Pete resigned from his old university position, and now he has nothing to lose, which makes his temper more and more weird. Pete couldn't find any dream job, so he could only stay at home with a meager social welfare payment, but fortunately, with Canada's social welfare, he could not starve to death.

But the days of eating and waiting for death like this are obviously not Girard. Pete's wanted life.

So, when someone from SAL was ordered to come to the door to invite him, Girard. Pete realized that his opportunity had come, and SAL was now in full swing. Pete, who has little attention to the corporate world, is also well aware of the company's strength. Pete was impressed by the promise of unimaginable research costs and even the opportunity to work with Dr. Duke.

These two points crushed Girard almost instantly. Pete's psychological defense, because not only does his career have a hope of a comeback, but also that he can make these requests shows that Dr. Duke values him as a researcher, and with Duke's position in the computer and physics worlds, such an invitation shows that Dr. Duke is very optimistic about his research results.

Therefore, in terms of material treatment, Girard. Pitt didn't ask for much, and SAL invested $20 million to buy out Gillard. Pete's QuantumComputing company owns all the equity and intellectual property rights, and at the same time relocated QuantumComputing to China as the main body of SAL to research quantum computers. Pitt served as the chief scientist and continued to study the special quantum effects of niobium metal or similar rare metals in ultra-low temperature superconductivity.

For Girard. For Pete, except for the relocation of a new place is slightly unchanged, there are no other conditions, the best research environment, the best research team, and almost no idle research funds. The research plan reported by Pitt was approved by Duke, and Cai Siqiang could throw any amount of money into it, and now in terms of the company's abundant cash flow, no one in the world can catch up with SAL company, although only last year he invested hundreds of billions of yuan in the Central African Group to exploit Africa's mineral resources.

Although it is said that Girard. Pete's part of responsibility will be to build one of the most core parts of the quantum computer, and the core chip of quantum computing in the future will be developed by Girard. Pete's work was born, but there is only one thing that cannot realize real quantum computing, because quantum computing is completely different from silicon chips, and now the theory of quantum computing is based on the binary core of silicon chip computing to conceive, fundamentally speaking, it is the wrong way.

Duke is sure that even if someone in the future makes a deal with Girard. Pitt is exactly the same thing, without a revolutionary new polymorphic computing control algorithm, it would not be possible to take full advantage of the special supercomputing performance of quantum computers. In addition to Duke, there is no second earthling in the world who has mastered this new special control algorithm under polymorphic conditions, which is a ready-made result that Duke got from Billem, and Duke does not have to worry about someone developing something new with real quantum computing power before him.

Girard. Once Pete was in place, he quickly re-recruited his old department, and he was now able to offer an irresistible material treatment, as well as an irresistible research environment for a researcher who really wanted to achieve something.

After rebuilding the research team and the experimental environment, Duke worked with Girard. Pitt's team conducted an in-depth discussion of the direction of the study. Pete had already estimated Duke very highly, but in the discussion, Girard. Pete found that he was underestimating this young man with the reputation of the first day in the scientific and technological world, and his basic knowledge in the field of quantum computing was respectably solid, and a lot of classical quantum science knowledge could be said casually. To Pitt's surprise, Dr. Duke was also very in-depth in his research on materials for achieving quantum effects. Pete was refreshed.

If we follow these characteristics, Girard. Pitt is not only looking at niobium, but also a range of rare metals with similar properties, and perhaps the way forward is to find some combination of these rare metals that have the same material properties as Duke described.

So Girard. Pitt was inspired by his own research experience and some scientists' unique intuition after a few months. Pete led the team to find several alloys with better characteristics than niobium metal alone. Pete found that the performance was several times higher than that of the same equipment made of niobium metal.

This achievement was a great encouragement to Girard. Pete, while also validating some of the forward-looking assumptions put forward by Duke, has been strongly guided by Gilard. Pitt soon expanded the scope and scale of his research, but when Gilard . After Pete opened the list of materials for the study, SAL's procurement department was dumbfounded. Pitt is researching very rare metal varieties, and some things are even estimated to be hundreds of kilograms per year in the world, and now they are only used in some special research in some countries, and the market cannot purchase them at all.

The SAL purchasing department quickly fed back this information to Cai Siqiang's ears, and Cai Siqiang immediately fed back to Duke. Pete's research is also very important, so he immediately found Qin Tairan, and after searching all over the country, he only found a part, according to the introduction of the mineral resources department, many rare metals are almost not found in China.

Most of the places where they are found now are in Africa, and the Congo is the country with the most of these rare metals.

When Duke's demand was raised to the level of the Military Commission by Qin Tairan, these military commission bigwigs suddenly found that Africa was more important than originally imagined, and even the quantum computers researched by Duke Although none of these bigwigs understood this, but after Qin Tairan explained that if the development was successful, a computer that was more powerful than all the computers in the country combined, none of these bigwigs could sit still, what does computer computing power mean, and the amazing development of the military industry in recent years is the best proof.

Therefore, the Military Commission decided, led by the intelligence department of the General Staff, to implement a top-secret plan for comprehensive control of the Congo's rare mineral resources.
