In essence, the problem of current noise and heterogeneity suppression is actually a problem of qubit anti-interference, and generally speaking, the idea of dealing with these two problems is basically the same, that is, to reduce the resistance of the material as much as possible and use homogeneous materials as much as possible.

And to achieve both of these purposes at the same time, there is nothing more appropriate than directly using superconducting materials as circuit media.

But the key point is that even if superconducting materials are used, it is impossible to completely solve the problem, because as long as there is a slight flaw in the processing process, magazine control, and circuit composition, the result will deteriorate infinitely, and the final effect is even worse than that of a random material.

This is the unique particularity of the quantum field, if the technology is not developed to the extreme, there is not much difference between 99 and 0.

So, this is the area where Chen Nian can really play a role.

He has standard answers, and they are the ones with the highest margin for error.

After waiting in the office for a few minutes, Chen Nian met Zhang Jinyi, the chief engineer in charge of the quantum computing project.

The latter is a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who doesn't look like a scholar at a glance, but looks like the kind of Sven scum who is particularly good at working in film and television dramas.

——

However, anyone who has read his resume cannot underestimate him, because he is not only the chief person in charge of the Huaxia special quantum computer in the early stage, but also the chief designer of the first quantum computer "Micius".

Whether in terms of technology or organizational management ability, he is a well-deserved "boss".

And because of the previous cooperation between the quantum computing project and the military decryption project, his level of secrecy is also quite high - so high that he has become one of the few people who has not had direct contact with Chen Nian, but knows his identity.

"Chen Gong! Welcome! I really didn't have enough hospitality, I was going to pick you up, but Jiancheng told me that you were inconvenient, so I didn't go. ”

"I just got a call from Jiancheng that you guys have settled in, and I'll be coming over right away."

"How's it going, is the weather still adapting here?"

No matter who it is, when meeting Chen Nian, he has to nag polite words, Chen Nian has completely adapted to this rhythm, and after a few simple greetings, he will get straight to the point.

I just read your report, and most of the problems are easy to solve, and the most critical ones at the moment are the two problems of qubit lifetime and anti-interference, right?"

"That's right, this is also a headache for research institutes around the world."

Zhang Jinyi nodded immediately, and then continued to add:

"We've now tried a variety of solutions, including changing the way entanglement, optimizing the ion trap laser beam design, and more – and you've been able to capture 150 qubits in one go at a time, thanks to your recent breakthrough in lasers, with a new EM coating that has dramatically improved the quality of the laser beam."

"But the quantity has gone up, and the quality problem has not been solved too well, and we are thinking that maybe we need to bring in more researchers in basic fields to see if there is any other path to take."

"That should be for later."

Chen Nian shook his head and continued:

"Basic research must not be put down, but now your problem is not a theoretical problem, but an application problem."

"Essentially, if you can get a perfect quantum register design, these two problems can be solved, at least for the time being, right?"

"That's right, if the problem of quantum registers can be solved, at least a general-purpose quantum computer can meet the conditions for 'realization'."

"As for the subsequent further performance optimization, that is a problem for future generations."

"That's not going to happen."

Chen Nian smiled and waved his hand and said:

"It's not impossible to solve problems in our generation."

"Give me the latest experimental data, and I'll take a look at it this week, and if it's appropriate, try to help you find a solution in the near future."

"However, you need to allocate enough experimental resources for me, including time and personnel."

Chen Nian's sentence is actually not too necessary - everyone else is here, which is basically equivalent to automatically obtaining the highest authority of the research institute, how to arrange the work after that, where to focus on it, it's not up to him to have the final say?

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhang Jinyi immediately promised:

"Don't worry about this at all, in addition to the basic daily work, all the resources of the institute will be dispatched by your side."

"Chen Gong, if you have any needs, tell me directly, and I will arrange it."

After a pause, he said again, half teasingly, half earnestly:

"You'll make me your secretary."

A top boss in the field of quantum computing in China said "I want to be a secretary to the other party" in front of a young man who is younger than him, but he himself did not have any embarrassment or embarrassment, and the few people present did not feel that he was flattering at all, which is actually both normal and abnormal.

What is abnormal is that his attitude does have the meaning of "self-surrendering identity", which makes people who don't know seem to have no backbone.

But it is normal to say that it is because Zhang Jinyi has such an attitude, not because he bows to power, status, and so-called rules, but to real "knowledge".

What's there to be ashamed of in this?

It can even be said that this should be the basic quality that a researcher who can really climb up the ladder should have

Therefore, Chen Nian did not have too much hypocrisy, he knew that what he was going to do was worthy of Zhang Jinyi's respect.

"Then I'll trouble you, let's settle down today, let's not look at the specific problem first, my back hurts a little after flying for too long."

"Of course, the accommodation is ready, and I'll take you there directly."

Chen Shen nodded, got up from his seat and followed Zhang Jinyi out of the door, and after going out, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked:

"Then again, who is doing the greening -—— or environmental management work here, there are condensers outside, there should be a special team, right?"

"Yes, would you like to meet them? I can save time by asking them to prepare the relevant materials and data first. ”

"It doesn't have to be that complicated."

Chen Nian thought for a moment before continuing:

"Help me find the person in charge and talk casually."

"It's not a special thing, it's just a little bit of my personal thought-—— it's an interest."

At the same time, on the other side of the sea, inside the corner tower office.

Grady's eyes showed fear, because from the report of the assistant in front of him, he saw a possibility that frightened him.

That is, he is likely to become the shortest-serving military commander in the entire history of the United States.

And, it may be the one who made the biggest mistake.

What does your future hold? What does the future hold for the United States?

There may be many answers to these two questions, but each one will not be too good.

The counterattack launched by the Cuban revolutionary armed forces has initially taken shape, and they have made extensive use of drones and unmanned equipment from the Middle East.

"Among them, the air raid on our stronghold caused considerable losses to our side, and the solid defensive line in the early stage was mostly lost, with more than 400 casualties, and the loss rate of armored units reached 40%, and the only thing that was less damaged was the air unit, but this did not change much to the situation of the battle"

"According to a public statement issued by the Cuban side, all of this equipment comes from 'allies willing to help the cause of peace' in the Middle East and Europe, and the parties involved in the statement have responded."

"Basically, they've done a solid job of the chain of evidence, at least in terms of formal compliance."

"Based on the current situation, we have very few strategies to choose from."

"Either expand the scale of the war and fight a real war; Either withdraw immediately and end the war. ”

"The delaying tactics you tended to before are no longer available, we have to. Decide as soon as possible. ”

Hearing the assistant's words, Grady nodded slowly.

He didn't answer directly, but asked:

"How's the new alliance in North America going?"

"Not good, they are putting pressure on the Malmström airbase through various channels, and as far as we know, a considerable number of front-line officers have already fallen to them."

"We failed, and that's the biggest problem."

"Before the war began, everyone longed for war, but in fact, they longed not for war, but for victory."

"So."

Needless to say, Grady could fully understand what he meant.

When the interests are present, everyone will rush to the top; And even a small setback will make them immediately turn their guns on their former "allies".

This is human nature, not to mention that it has happened countless times in the history of mankind, even in the short history of the United States.

Isn't the anti-war wave caused by the Vietnam War exactly the same reason?

This is the darkest hour, not only administratively, but even militarily, the central government has gradually lost control over the localities.

Just under their noses, a state military base actually produced such signs of instability, and the corresponding inspection department did not make any reaction.

Obviously, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, it's that they can't manage it anymore.

Grady exhaled heavily, then suddenly asked:

"If we decide to scale, how much support will we get?"

"It's up to Bezos."

"Why?"

"Because Bezos is putting pressure on the president, and only when the pressure is strong enough will the president stand firmly against him."

"Then push him!"

Grady said with a grim expression.

He has already made his decision.

It's absolutely impossible for me to have a good result, so instead of accepting it calmly, it's better to take a gamble and pull everyone into the water

At the gates of Malmström Air Force Base, a crowd of "ordinary people" gathered, chanting their anti-war slogans.

"No war, no economy!"

"Stop aggression and pay attention to people's livelihood!"

"If you can't beat it, don't fight! Dismantle the tank! Defuse the shells! Dismantle the plane! ”

"This is not your war! Refuse the kidnapping of the corner tower and stand on the side of the people! ”

In the crowd, Wess appreciated the reaction of the soldiers on the opposite sentry with satisfaction, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

Of course, these people were found by him - it should be said that the small group of people who took the lead were found by him, and the purpose was to create sufficient, intuitive, and visible public opinion pressure on the base, and then force them to make a choice in the shortest possible time.

In fact, this is not a very clever technique, and I believe that the key characters I have been in contact with can also see their own thoughts at a glance.

But so what?

Things have developed to this point, and the so-called intrigues and black-box transactions have lost their meaning.

Everyone needs to put their chips on the table and count them one by one, weighing the risks and benefits of the gamble in order to decide whether to be all in the game.

Wess was familiar with the set, and he knew that just getting to this point meant that the negotiations were about to come to fruition.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry, but can wait for further changes in the situation more leisurely.

So, after making sure that the "demonstration" was on track, Weiss quietly left the crowd and got into an inconspicuous car parked in the distance.

And in the car, Keith had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How's it going?"

Keith asked.

"It's going well, and if this kind of activity continues a few more times, the other party will basically be able to make a decision."

"Coupled with the current situation in Cuba, I think we won't have to wait more than a month at the latest."

"The world is really going to change-—— no, at least the United States, it's going to change."

"We're the core and the protagonists, and that's good."

Weiss leaned back in his seat relaxedly, but before he could close his eyes, the car suddenly braked sharply, and he almost hit the windshield without his seatbelt.

He subconsciously looked at Keith, thinking that he had encountered some special situation, but the latter had already opened the car door and got out of the car, looking up at the sky.

A low roar sounded in his ears, and Wes's heart tightened, and when he looked up and saw what Keith saw, a sense of foreboding instantly swelled up in his heart.

That's three B-2 bombers.

"What's the situation?"

Wes immediately asked.

"I don't know if this is not a combat flight, it is a transfer flight."

"But. Three B-2s are flying at the same time, which is very, very rare. ”

"It's not the opening ceremony of the Super Bowl, where are they going?"

Keith's voice was muffled by the roar, and it was a little indistinct.

But it was these few simple words that made the muscles in Weiss's whole body tense up immediately.

B-2, transfer flight.

Could it be that the worst outcome he had ever considered was going to happen?

"Get in the car! We're going to go back and make sure! ”

He shouted.

Keith immediately got into the car, and the sedan sped away in the direction of headquarters.

What they don't know for the time being is that the largest large-scale military movement in the United States since the "Great Withdrawal" has quietly begun
