When Braunel heard the word "huge", his heart moved, but he concealed it well, and asked casually: "How many units is XlouS going to buy?" ”

D-Wave's quantum computers aren't cheap, with the latest D-Wave 7 model currently on the market costing $28 million per unit. It is only available to large companies and enterprises, and the cost of supercomputers is much cheaper, supercomputers occupy a large area, large volume, and a D7 model of quantum computers, the length, width and height are no more than 5 meters, and the size of the gold is not too much to describe. And there is no comparison between the two at all, this is the unit price of a quantum computer, not a super quantum computer.

"How many?" When Zhang Han heard this, he smiled and said, "Only one!" ”

One?

When Braunel heard this, he only felt a toothache, a stomachache, and a pain all over his body. He even wanted to scold him, you are the world-famous supergiant - Matrix Technology XlouS, the richest company in the world. Just one? Forget it, and say a huge business? Is this called huge business? Did you come here to tease Lao Tzu with your heart?

Zhang Han looked at Brunell with a deflated look, expected a thing or two, smiled, and said: "Mr. Fern may have misunderstood, so let's put it this way, Matrix Technology wants to make a deal of up to $60 billion with D-Wave." ”

"What...... 6…… 60 billion ......" Braunel finally didn't calm down, got up from his seat on the spot, stared at Zhang Han and swallowed and spit, "Dollars? ”

"60 billion, dollars." Zhang Han said affirmatively.

Braunel was sure he had heard correctly, and he forced himself to sit down and steady himself. 60 billion, the other party is going to spend 60 billion on a quantum computer, what are they going to do? What needs such a massive quantum computer? What requires such a huge amount of computing and processing?

"I would like to ask you, you want to ......" Braunel was so curious.

"Trade secrets! But I can tell you another piece of news, the company is investing $60 billion in the current investment to build the world's first super quantum computer using the D-Wave7x quantum processor. Zhang Han replied without hesitation.

"Okay!" When Braunel heard this, he knew that no matter how curious he was, the other party would not tell you, but he was sure that Matrix Technology was definitely secretly carrying out a super plan that shocked the world, even a quantum computer could not be satisfied, and a super quantum computer was necessary, and the ambition of this supergiant was shocking and unpredictable. Although I don't know what it is, it doesn't matter, a super big order of 60 billion, God! Braunel screamed in his heart at the moment, as happy as if he had drifted from hell to heaven in an instant, this gap was really unpredictable, but it was so wonderful.

At this moment, Fern. Braunel just wants no more new gaps and just keeps the status quo.

"However, D-Wave has one condition, this 'soul' must be exclusive to D-Wave, in addition to XlouS's own quantum computer, and D-Wave has an exclusive license for five years, which means that even XlouS cannot enjoy it for five years," Braunel said. That's the only condition we have. ”

In the end, the price of this exclusive license is $20 billion, and for each quantum computer sold, Matrix Technology also enjoys a revenue share of 5% of the net profit.

"Happy working together!" Zhang Han stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

……

The next day, D-Wave announced that it had made a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of quantum computers, and held a press conference three days later to announce the details.

As soon as the news was announced, it quickly attracted the attention of the scientific and technological circles, especially the computer field, which received the attention of this field. D-Wave is a company working on quantum computers and is a leader in the field, a revolutionary breakthrough, which in itself is very fascinating.

With the attention of the outside world, another major news was quickly dug up, which was widely reported in the technology circle and the media, and the content of the news claimed that Matrix Technology appeared in D-Wave.

This is different, not only the appearance of matrix technology, but also the identity of the visitor, the name of Zhang Han has been remembered by more than 2 billion people, just because he is the first successful person in the true sense of the word, and it was carried out in a global public demonstration.

The industry and the media pay more attention to his other identity, one of the few big directors of Matrix Technology, and the news about Zhang Han is constantly being excavated, through an interview with D-Wave, I know that Zhang Han is the leader of the computer department of Matrix Technology, a top engineer.

Everything has become more eye-catching because of the participation of Matrix Technology, and the phrase "revolutionary breakthrough" has become more and more curious, and there is no doubt that the existence of Matrix Technology has increased the weight of this sentence.

As time passed, it finally came the third day.

D-Wave's press conference brought together as many as 230 special correspondents, as well as many computer practitioners. Braunel is also very excited, D-Wave's previous press conference has never received such a high level of attention, this time not only all the reporters who should pay are present, but also a lot of additional personnel, not only for the first time to break through the number of 100 but also reached more than 230, including other colleagues also came, the scene gathered nearly 350 people.

He knew very well that the name XlouS had a lot to do with the fact that it was able to get such a high level of attention.

With the CEO of D-Wave, Fern. Brunell attended the press conference, and Zhang Han's subsequent arrival immediately ushered in a neat and high-frequency flash mob on the camera flash door, and they did not expect a big director and important person of Matrix Technology to also attend.

"It seems that there is a fierce news to explode today~!"

"I'm sure!"

Some reporters are whispering, past examples show that wherever there is matrix technology, it is when the industry is in a hurry, basically there is a big news, which can easily occupy the front page headlines of the day's news, and it will also break out in the industry at the very least.

The computer practitioners who come here have a hunch that this time, there may be big news in the computer field.

The press conference began at 9:30 a.m. local time.

D-Wave CEO Fern Fernandes. Braunel personally announced: "From now on, D-Wave officially announced that mankind has successfully developed the first quantum computer in the true sense, and its computing speed will reach more than 90% of the theoretical peak, which is more than 9 times faster than all existing computers in the world, including supercomputers, combined." ”

Braunel looked at the shocked look below, especially his peers in the computer field, and he said excitedly: "After nearly half a century, mankind has finally broken through the quantum computer!" ”
