"The register test has passed, which means that the biggest difficulty point of a general-purpose quantum computer has been solved."

"Next, according to the general rule, we should complete the implementation of the quantum computer within a few months, and go online and adapt."

"It is not far off for mankind to officially enter the era of quantum computing, but we don't yet know what such technology will bring."

In the office, Zhang Jinyi said to Chen Nian with a face full of relief.

Just now, he got the news from the back-end lab that the register read and write test had passed, and this news brought him not only a "surprise", but in fact, more of a shock and confusion.

Yes, he knew that Xinghuo was strong and Chen Nian was even stronger.

But he couldn't have imagined that the problem that had plagued many scholars for a lifetime had been broken by Chen Nian in just one month, so fast that even the entire experimental team did not react, so that on that number one piece of information, there was actually such an oolong sentence.

However, this is not a big deal.

After all, as long as there are results, such innocuous jokes will only be used as a joke to shape the image of researchers, not as an excuse to attack them.

Strength is everything, results are everything, this is the unique characteristics of this era.

The more stagnant people are, the more they will pay attention to those things that are "outside the result" and regular, and even develop to the point that no one dares to make mistakes, no one dares to relax, and can only be cautious in words and deeds at all times

For such a thing to happen, it is in itself a hymn to this era of rapid progress.

Thinking of this, he continued:

"Of course, what I said above is just an optimistic estimate."

"In fact, there is still a long way to go from registers to 'practical' general-purpose quantum computers that can really enter human daily life."

"Everything related to computing power has to be shuffled, and to take the smallest example, I saw some young people talking on the Internet that the birth of quantum computers could make all-reality games a reality."

"But in fact, this fantasy is far more difficult to realize than they expected, and the problem of a 'graphics card' alone will plague our technical departments and manufacturers for a long time."

"Full Reality Game"

Chen Nian silently repeated this word, and he suddenly remembered the idea he had discussed with Wang Jiancheng before.

——

A large-scale simulation community designed based on blockchain technology, or a realistic running group game.

Shouldn't it go in that direction as well?

After all, in my opinion, getting more real people involved is the basis for AI to achieve rapid training and rapid evolution.

You can talk to him.

Chen Nian scratched his head, he suddenly realized that he had just come to the northwest, but he had found a lot of things for himself.

I really can't be idle.

So, he spoke:

"If there are no more problems in the future, I will be ready to go back to Chengdu."

"Of course, if you need it here, you can continue to come to me, and I will provide you with remote support."

"No problem, Chen Gong! Thank you so much this time. ”

Zhang Jinyi's face was full of sincerity, he put the gift that he had prepared a long time ago on Chen Nian's table, Chen Nian did not refuse, but glanced at the objects in the box, and asked curiously:

"What the hell?"

"A small ion trap generator."

Zhang Jinyi immediately replied:

"It's a spin-off of quantum register technology, and with this ion trap device, we can lock several qubits into a crystal medium."

"Theoretically, the lifetime of the qubits stored in it can reach more than 600 seconds."

"Of course, from the time we started the conversation until now, this particle of light that is stored in it should have been. Died. ”

"So it's actually a quantum graveyard. Hahahaha, it seems a bit unpleasant to say this, but Chen Gong, I think you should be able to understand what I mean. ”

Chen Nian nodded slightly and replied:

"Totally understandable."

The romance of the polytechnic is sometimes like this, and at first glance it seems almost completely unreasonable.

Not to mention that the small ion trap generator is not romantic at all, let's just say that Zhang Jinyi shakes it out by himself, and the particles stored in it will die within 10 minutes.

It's a tomb, and it's an empty tomb, so what's the point of giving something like this to someone else?

——

However, its significance lies not in what is in it, but in what was in it.

Theoretically, the qubits locked in the ion trap have already experienced a huge number of "choices" that humans cannot explore, and countless futures in the microscopic realm before they lose their energy and completely disappear.

What it represents, in fact, is an "infinite possibility".

Even if it's empty.

Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Zhang Jinyi smiled with relief and kindness again.

However, with his sven scum face, his smile is somewhat infiltrating.

"Alright, our matter is basically settled, now let's do some idle business."

"When I first arrived, I met with the person in charge of environmental management and talked about some issues related to desert environmental management, and they gave me a rough plan."

"I think that the Quantum Research Institute will take root here for a long time, and the first test of this program can be arranged here."

"We have already negotiated the specific implementation steps, and the technical staff will be in place in the short term."

"I need some of your firm's funds to support this work – just money, of course."

"Can you handle it?"

After a pause, Chen Nian said slightly apologetically:

"This is just my personal idea, of course, it's okay to use Xinghuo's resources to do it, but it's true that we've always been in a state of lack of money, and you just happened to save a lot of money."

"No problem at all!"

Zhang Jinyi replied immediately.

Even if it wasn't out of respect for Chen Nian, even from the perspective of pure interests, he felt that this matter had to be done.

"Just a personal idea"?

Just kidding, you're the heart of the spark, even the center of this country, the world.

The plan you proposed, no matter how absurd and shocking it is, is it worth trying, okay?

Even if you want to pluck our wool, we will willingly lie down on our own

"What is the approximate budget? We are going to make the 2018 budget soon, and we can set aside this part of the fund in advance. ”

Chen Nian glanced at Chen Guo, and then stretched out a finger.

"Ten billion?"

Zhang Jinyi was a little surprised.

"That's right, 10 billion."

"I know it's a bit difficult, but I'm sure you can still earn the money yourself."

At the same time, on the other side of the sea.

Wess saw off his last "guests" with a tired face, then returned to his office, seated across from his father, John Dutton.

In fact, since his last serious injury, John Dutton has gradually withdrawn from the management of the family, let alone participated in the grand plans of the new North American alliance.

However, he has never stopped his children from letting it go.

This may seem to contradict the conservative character he had shown when he had resolutely defended the farm and his old-school traditions, but if you think about it, it has always been a completely logical and consistent choice.

What he resists is the change of the times, or the change of power, and what he pursues is always the insistence on "personal will" that is engraved in his blood.

He may be wrong, and what he insists on may be ridiculous, but in any case, his courage is indeed commendable.

After all, not everyone wants their children to take risks – even if they do have big goals and big plans.

Looking at Wes, whose face was slightly haggard, but his expression was full of spirits, John frowned slightly, and then spoke:

"Weis, it's time for you to get some rest."

"There are some things that maybe you can leave to someone else to do - you're not that hairy kid who has nothing now, you have a lot of power and a lot of influence."

"And both power and influence should play their role."

"Don't do everything yourself, sometimes, let go of your hands, you can better build your prestige."

"I understand."

Wes sighed slightly and replied:

"I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches on the structure of this organization, and after that's over, I'll be able to really screen out the core of our leadership."

"Still."

Speaking of this, Wes hesitated, while John saw at a glance what was in his mind.

"You've got to kick Keys out, though, right?"

Wes was stunned for a moment, then nodded eventually.

"He's not a qualified leader, and one might even say, in a lot of cases, he's not even a qualified executor."

"He's a good fighter, but when it comes to the need to communicate with people with words and interests, not bullets, he's just a guy."

"Idiot."

Once again, John added what Wes had not said, and the latter nodded somewhat awkwardly and continued:

"You know your own children better than I do."

"Of course."

John nodded without hesitation, and there was no look of displeasure on his face.

'Keys is not fit to do this kind of thing, to kick him out early, but to protect him.

"At the very least, you have to get it away from the core of power as soon as possible, let him become an instructor, or be your security leader, that's what he does best."

"I know, but I'm worried."

"Don't worry, he understands."

As he said this, the stone in Wes's heart was finally put down.

A smile appeared on his face, and then he leaned back on the sofa and said:

"Then there's no problem."

"We've taken de facto control of the military base — of course, we don't have any power on paper, but everybody has turned to us."

"Now, even if I need all the fighters on the base to take off, I don't think it will be that difficult to do."

"All we need to do is wait a little longer for others to follow us and let them repeat what we've done elsewhere."

"It's a clever tactic-—— but of course, it's also risky."

John said meaningfully.

"Of course, but instead of taking the initiative to provoke a war within the borders, I think it should be said that it is the most rational decision to wait quietly for a system to collapse and get as many chips as possible before it collapses."

John nodded silently, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked:

"Do you really think the system is going to collapse?"

Instead of answering, Wes made a gesture to John, motioning for him to follow him.

The two walked out of the office and came to the door of the headquarters building.

Wes greeted the security guard at the door, and after walking a little further, he said to John:

"This man, like Keith, was once an elite of the special forces, and he once made amazing achievements on the battlefield in Iraq."

"However, his team was almost wiped out due to an accidental IED attack, and according to the investigation at the time, the source of the IED was actually 'his own people'."

"Or to put it more bluntly, an officer who wants to cover up some truth."

John's brow furrowed, but before he could answer, Wes pointed to a gardener in the distance who was trimming flowers and plants in a wheelchair.

"This man, he used to be an ordinary worker in the New Westward Movement, specializing in mountain blasting and tunnel construction."

"Just a few months ago, he lost both of his legs in an accident without any reasonable compensation."

"Because the company in charge of the construction has the power at the top, his actions have even been defined as 'unauthorized and private illegal operations.'"

"If we hadn't found him and brought him here, he would have hanged himself in despair in the house he was about to be taken by the bank."

Wess didn't stop, he continued to walk forward, and took John into his car.

Then, in front of the driver, he did not shy away from saying:

"And my driver, Monsieur de Lyons, was a successful farmer, just like you used to be."

"But he was worse than what happened to you, his land was taken away because it was the best place for fusion experiments, he lost everything, he was saddled with a high loan, and his wife left him."

"But the good thing is that after joining us, he doesn't have to pay the bank anymore."

Wes turned back to John and continued:

"Everyone here has a different story."

"Each and every one of them has suffered from the system that should not have been inflicted on them."

"In this case, how long do you think the system can last?"

Silent.

John was speechless, and the soundproof glass of the car slowly rose, separating the front and rear seats.

After a long time, John suddenly said:

"They're not here because you really want to help them, are you?"

"They're just. The chips themselves. ”

"That's right."

Wes exhaled deeply and replied:

"Nothing we do is certainly not for them."

"But it doesn't matter."

"They're going to benefit from it, and there's only one thing they're going to do, and that's that."

"Believe we are fighting for them."

In the distance, the slowly setting sun radiated a dim glow, and two fighter jets were taking off from the military base, their tails dragging a long trail, splitting the sky into two pieces
