[Chapter 267: Quantum Supercomputing]
The birth of the virtual world is definitely a historic moment for mankind, Ren Honghe Matrix Technology has created a miracle, in that illusory world, everything is based on imagination, everything is possible.
At present, more and more technology tycoons and practitioners are more and more inclined to the Internet is about to disappear, the most representative of which is undoubtedly the CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet began to mention that the Internet will disappear 9 years ago, but his remarks are that the Internet is replaced by smart homes and wearable smart devices The Internet of Things is the Internet of Things era, but fundamentally it is still inseparable from the Internet, but the Internet has shifted from online to offline.
The virtual world is a qualitative leap, the essence of the breakthrough feat, it will completely replace the current existing Internet, although it will take a long time, but with the rapid development of technology, the virtual network world will replace the Internet and become the ultimate form, the future will inevitably be the virtual information age.
Ren Hong vividly depicted it, saying: "It (the virtual world) is like a pure white A4 paper, and we will hold the pen to 'write' and 'depict'." ”
"The 'virtual world' project will become a key project in the company's current focus," Ren said, "The biggest technical problem has basically been solved, but there are more and more difficult things." Before 'writing' and 'depicting', we need to pave a smooth path for it. He pointed to the top of his head, "I'll negotiate and get it done." ”
He pointed at Zhang Han again, "You need to prepare, go to Canada." ”
"Canada?" Zhang Han wondered.
"The 'virtual world' is unprecedented, and the peripherals and hardware that host it are also unprecedented, and Canada has what we want the most, right in Burnaby, I guess you should know." Ren Hong's answer was a bit vague.
However, as soon as Zhang Han heard this, he immediately thought of the key point when he thought of Canada, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Go to Vancouver Burnaby?" ”
"That's right!" Ren Hong nodded.
"No problem! It's all over me. Zhang Han immediately assured, "I'll just say, running a virtual network that maintains such a huge architecture as the virtual world, traditional supercomputing and processing power cannot be carried at all, except for quantum computers, only quantum computers can carry it." ”
In fact, since the birth of the concept of quantum computers, human research on it has begun a long time ago, and has made some negligible achievements, after a lapse of more than 80 years, and the current leader in this field is undoubtedly Canada.
Ren Hong asked him to go to Canada, to be precise, Burnaby, a satellite city in Vancouver, Canada, where a family named "
D-Wave" is located here, and their area of expertise is quantum computers.
Today, D-Wave is a leader in its field. Back in 2007, D-Wave publicly demonstrated a 16-unit computer for the first time, and the result of the demonstration was to solve a Sudoku problem, but this demonstration did not cause a sensation in the world, which was a big blow to D-Wave, who was excited to show their achievements to the world.
In 2013, they conducted a new test, the result of which was that the quantum computer with the model "D-Wave2" was 3670 times faster than the traditional conventional computer, but it still did not get the world's attention, but was questioned by many senior experts and scientists in the industry, including MIT professor Scott. Aronson, who was even ridiculed as the "Chief Questioning Officer of D-Wave", was born to be inherently difficult to get along with D-Wave.
And with the passage of time, D-Wave company continues to move forward in the continuous questioning, never give up the path of their choice, time is the best inspector, D-Wave company by the first few people with a common dream, to the team of 130 people in 2015, and then to more than 1000 people today, D-Wave has not declined, but is getting stronger and stronger, and now D-Wave has become a representative company in the industry, although until today, There is still no theoretical quantum computer.
The fact that they were able to achieve such an achievement has a lot to do with their unwavering faith.
"You know what?" Ren Hong opened his mouth and said, Zhang Han looked at him.
"Just now we entered the virtual world, the core of the terminal processing of the link is the supercomputer 'L', and in such a short period of time, the world's No. 1 supercomputer 'L' was overloaded and had to withdraw." Ren Hong explains: "Obviously, the virtual world needs the computing and processing of more powerful computers to carry it. ”
"It's tsundere, and a regular computer can't get into her eyes." Ren Hong said jokingly. He added, "Your mission to Burnaby is to partner with D-Wave, a current leader in the field, to build the first true quantum computer in human history with Matrix Technologies. ”
"We have what they don't have, they have what we need, and there's no reason not to cooperate."
Matrix Technology has related technologies such as "Quantum Language", "Matrix Algorithm", and "Nanocore", while D-Wave has a number of breakthrough related hardware technologies such as D-Wave7 quantum processor.
One lacks hardware, the other lacks "software" similar to conventional computers, and the shortcomings of matrix technology in hardware are due to the fact that R&D personnel and senior engineers in this field are serving the "virtual world" project, and they can't separate more energy from this shortcoming, but they have made greater achievements in "software".
If hardware is a person's body, then software is the soul of that body.
D-Wave has what Matrix Technology needs, and Matrix Technology also has what D-Wave needs.
"The sooner this matter is dealt with, the better." Ren Hong added.
"No problem, I'll start preparing tomorrow." Zhang Han nodded in response.
There is still a long way to go for the popularization of the virtual world to the public level, whether it is the construction of base stations, the construction of terminal data storage centers, negotiations with the state, the external environment, etc. And doing this series of things well is just the beginning, content and operation maintenance is the foundation to keep this new world alive, and nothing can be achieved overnight.
It is hard to imagine that when the outside world learns that in the near future, mankind will enter the virtual information age, what kind of shock and impact will it be, and what is the voice of European and American countries led by the United States, the current global Internet is actually dominated by the United States, because the "mother" of the limited root servers and the Internet in the world is also controlled by the United States, which is equivalent to indirect control of the global Internet.
Why did the "Prismgate Incident" occur? Why does the United States have the ambition to spy on the world? All this, without a reason, how can it be a result?
The "mother" of the virtual world is born in China and will also settle in this country, and the virtual world is the terminator and ultimate form of the Internet.
In short, a lot of people are not ready.
But this is no reason to hinder human progress.
At present, everything is going smoothly in the operation departments of major companies of Matrix Technology, Zhang Han is preparing to visit Canada, and the company's acquisition team has set off from all walks of life. This year's matrix technology is very different from the usual development and launch of products, because this year is the initial year and the first year of the globalization process of matrix technology.
As for the technology circle, the hottest topic in recent times is undoubtedly Facebook founder and CEO Mark Murphy. The news of Zuckerberg's visit to China is, to be exact, a visit to Matrix Technology. The U.S. and domestic media have paid close attention to this, and the meeting of one of the two countries' most representative tech bigwigs has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the industry.
