In the fierce Sino-US military competition and the rapid development of SAL, although Duke was trapped by military research, with the military research department using a large number of super small computer cluster auxiliary research, derived from the artificial intelligence engine developed by Duke A variety of practical simulation design and testing applications have greatly improved the ability of self-innovation research, most of the research has been on the right track, in Duke's view, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be involved.

Even the ultra-long-range interstellar wireless communicator needed by Billem has overcome a large number of problems to complete the prototype verification, and now the Twin Islands project is progressing smoothly according to the schedule, and it seems that it will be completed this year.

However, Duke did not intend to be idle because of this, on the contrary, he had a more important matter in his heart, which required him to devote great energy to do, and in Duke's opinion, this matter was many times more important than the military research in front of him.

Because with the increasing supply of thermonuclear raw materials for Billem, the countdown to the day of Billem's departure has begun, and Duke, who has been planning for Billem's departure, is now starting a new field of research to study a new super-intelligent computing device one by one.

Because Duke found that although Kerry's computing power has far exceeded the sum of supercomputers on the earth by several orders of magnitude, but compared with the host on the Billem spacecraft, Kerry is several orders of magnitude larger than the gap between the earthling's PC and the supercomputer, Kerry can intelligently sort out and summarize knowledge, but Billy's host can perform unbelievable multi-dimensional space mechanics calculations, so as to find the multi-dimensional space entrance of a certain star field, which is the so-called "cosmic singularity". If spacecraft were allowed to enter this singularity at the speed of light, it would be possible to move in multi-dimensional distorted space of the universe and allow interstellar travel at incredible speeds.

To borrow a simple fantasy phrase, these "cosmic singularities" are equivalent to the spatial gates of the magical world. Although this set of space theories Duke is completely incomprehensible now, there is one thing Duke knows, that is, the computing power that Billem's host can do is by no means what he can imagine now, and a biological computer like Kerry, according to Billem's conclusion, can give the earth another 200 years of development, so Duke completely gave up this unrealistic fantasy. Based on the level of earth science and technology, it is ready to develop a new type of computing equipment to replace the increasingly limited development space on the earth based on silicon-based electronic computers.

Compared with all kinds of destructive weapons, Duke feels that improving the level of human intelligent computing and finding new energy is the fundamental solution to solve various crises on the earth, just like the world of Billem, because the level of intelligence has developed to the extent that it is enough to replace the labor of any intelligent life, the machine undertakes all the labor from mining, breeding to manufacturing, providing the material resources consumed by the life of intelligent creatures, so that extraterrestrial intelligent life like Billem has almost complete freedom, You can fly a spaceship to roam the stars and do what you want.

If the earth can produce enough material resources to make people's food, clothing, shelter and transportation all enter a state of extreme abundance, presumably there will be a lot less strife at that time, right?

Although Duke is not sure, the history of the development of the Billem Star shows that this is at least a possible direction.

In any case, Duke feels that the biggest benefit that can be squeezed out of Billem is new energy and intelligent computing, and Billem's thermonuclear technology cannot be imitated at this stage, so the priority to solve is intelligent computing, with the improvement of this intelligent computing ability, more things can be studied on this basis in the future, including further improving the ability of thermonuclear reaction research, and spending decades or even hundreds of years to develop a cleaner and more durable new energy than nuclear fission.

Therefore, after collecting almost all the research results and knowledge related to computers on the earth, Duke found Billem for help, and Billem did not hesitate to point out the direction of Duke to study quantum computers, and provided a large number of quantum computer research materials, although these things belong to the older technology in their star field like the nuclear fission technology provided by Billem, and many details have been lost in the middle, so that Duke cannot directly copy them.

However, Duke got a complete theory and manufacturing framework for making a quantum computer from Billem, and gave him time and resources, so that Duke could study the basic technology and related supporting materials needed for this quantum computer like a lotus pile.

However, as soon as the news came out that Duke was ready to devote a lot of energy to the so-called "quantum computer", everyone from the military commission boss to the No. 1 head of the Central Committee was shocked, and Duke completely underestimated his influence and importance in the military.

After making a historic breakthrough in the aviation industry and navy, the military urgently needs Duke to lead China's military industry to catch up with and surpass the world's number one power.

In the third and a half generations of models to achieve a technological breakthrough, the installation of the assembly is still several years before the scale can be formed, the fourth generation fighter has a great number of disadvantages, from the point of view of military expenditure, it is impossible to make more numbers on a par with the US military, the US military has even released a killer feature one by one, although everyone is still unclear about the capabilities of the two new unmanned fighters of the US military, but can become the successor of the fourth generation aircraft, the military bosses do not dare to underestimate the two mysterious new fighters of the US military.

Even the extremely old J-7 fighter can become a very threatening combat force after being transformed into a drone by Duke, not to mention that this is a brand-new unmanned fighter made using the new technology of the US military industry in the past decade.

Therefore, in the eyes of the military, Duke is definitely the leader of new weapons research, and it is even more indispensable in the current take-off stage.

"Duke, now is really not the time for you to let go" When Duke said that he was going to resign as the chief scientist of the Shenlong Project, Qin Tairan flew to Chengdu almost immediately, without Vice Chairman Liu's explanation, he was more anxious than anyone else, "Our research has just entered the fast lane, and it seems that it is very promising to catch up with and surpass the world level, at this time, as soon as you leave, I am afraid that the development of the entire aviation industry will be greatly affected." ”

"Brother Qin, I think everyone's research and development is on the right track now, if there are any particularly important problems, I will also help solve them, I don't seem to have invested much in this area last year, so there is no need to serve as this chief scientist anymore." Duke said to Qin Tairan, in his opinion, since he is ready to fade out of this military research and development, the chief scientist on his head seems a little inappropriate, it is better to let other people in charge do it.

"You can't say that, Duke" Qin Tairan didn't see it that way at all, "You are now everyone's spiritual leader, there is a big difference between having you presiding over and not presiding over you, who has such a high prestige as you now, to put it mildly, without you, you may at any time make various research teams fall into the old road of fighting for power and profit." ”

Qin Tairan became a little excited as he spoke, "Duke, you feel as if you haven't done anything, many times just say a few words and dial it out, and decide the direction of development for technical disputes and difficulties, but have you ever thought that because of your few words, it may make the project team of hundreds of people take a few less detours, and those things that you presided over and cracked out of the US and Japanese military are enough to save us a few years and more than ten years, how can you say that it is not necessary?" ”

"What's more, after two years of your hosting, everyone is convinced of your fairness and professional ability, even if you don't do anything, nothing to show up in front of various projects, it is a huge encouragement for the entire research and development work, and the so-called quantum computer that you are now going to research, I asked someone to find out, the authority of the University of Science and Technology of China in this area personally told me that it will take at least ten years to see some substantial progress in this thing, And now everyone is still in the early stage of theoretical preparation and peripheral technical foundation preparation. ”

Obviously, Qin Tairan is very optimistic about the new research direction chosen by Duke, "Okay, even if you can develop a new quantum computer with the current supercomputer capabilities within ten years, what can it be for the country?" In the past ten years, you have the ability to lead everyone to develop the world's leading fighter aircraft or warships, so that our country can truly stand at the top of the world, and there is no need to look at other people's faces. What's more, you are still so young now, even if it is ten years later, I believe that if we develop like this for another ten years, our military industry will be proud of the world, and it will be too late to study that quantum computer ten years later. ”

Although, Qin Tairan did not mix some of his own selfish thoughts in this excited statement, that is, relying on Duke in the past few years, Qin Tairan has been promoted from the deputy department to the general manager of AVIC who enjoys ministerial-level treatment at an astonishing speed, if Shenlong plans to develop under the leadership of Duke for a few more years, Qin Tairan will almost properly enter the core leadership of the military in the next term with these amazing achievements and become the best candidate for the head of the general armament.

However, compared with a leader who controls the overall situation of the entire core military industry, to today's position, Qin Tairan is more of a sense of responsibility, just like the simple sense of responsibility of the older generation of military workers who made two bombs and one star at the beginning, who wants to see a historic opportunity to catch up with and surpass the biggest opponent sneak away from him.

Qin Tairan's encounter with Duke is undoubtedly the biggest opportunity in his life, but Duke meets Qin Tairan, and the same is true, if it is another person, as long as he is a little jealous, it will make Duke's road more difficult, and he will not be like Qin Tairan, who wholeheartedly helps and supports Duke's development.

As a key link between the past and the next, Qin Tairan played his role very well.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Duke had a bitter statement in his heart, and Duke couldn't explain why he did it. "According to my own research, if enough resources are invested in it, it should not be long before quantum computers enter the practical stage, and maybe we will be able to see some results in three or five years," Duke said, "Quantum computers will achieve an order of magnitude improvement in human computing power, which is beyond the reach of electronic computers now, and it is also a very important part of the improvement of research capabilities in the future military industry, which is more than our large-scale use of G series super minicomputers." ”

Since he couldn't directly explain the reason, Duke had to find some high-sounding arguments for himself, "The United States has made progress in this field much faster than ours, and a heavyweight company like IBM has invested a lot of resources in research and development. We can't afford to lose at the starting line again. ”

When Duke said this, Qin Tairan couldn't help but be moved, when he heard that Duke was going to resign as chief scientist, Qin Tairan was in a hurry, although he also found relevant experts to learn about quantum computers, and was ready to move Duke to temporarily abandon this somewhat unrealistic plan from these aspects.

Qin Tairan did not expect that Duke's plan was so far-reaching, and he had already seen the signs of the next wave of science and technology, and the role that electronic technology played in the development of military equipment of the US military in the last century.

As a matter of fact, the former Soviet Union lost the military competition and eventually disintegrated, and from a scientific and technological point of view, a large part of the reason was that electronic technology was far behind the US imperialists, and it was too far behind in the development and utilization of general military and civilian technology.

If Duke is right, to be able to develop a new super quantum computer in a few years, so that the domestic computer industry to make a world breakthrough, this is definitely a huge boost in the field of science and technology and economy, a voice recognition technology and a special display screen, can make SAL production of smart phones and smart TVs popular in the world, if there is a supercomputer that everyone can use in the future, I don't know how many new opportunities can be created.

Although Qin Tairan doesn't know now that this kind of quantum computer will not become a household consumer product like a PC due to its congenital shortcomings, the breakthrough in computing power is not only home entertainment, it can completely change the appearance of many industries.

Thinking of this, Qin Tairan was a little tempted.
