And just when the N755C1 passenger plane took off, an equally important passenger plane landed in the capital.

Also descending from it was a group of foreigners with mixed hair colors, who walked hurriedly and quickly left in a car.

They belong to the belt = Vodafone, Sweden Ericsson, and the national communications giant Alcatel.

Zhang Siren, director of the Commission of Science and Technology, who has been turned into a regular worker, personally greeted them, and in addition to him, important figures from Huawei, Jingwei Information and Communications, and China Telecom were present.

This time, they will decide the success or failure of two things: the acquisition of Vodafone's E-belt subsidiary and the development of a new generation of high-speed communication protocols with Alcatel and Ericsson.

The former is the first step for domestic telecom operators to try to enter Europe, and the latter is for the further promotion of the ternary system.

The relationship between the two is very close, and the main breakthrough point is that Huanghe Semiconductor and Modu Microelectronics jointly promoted the research and development of a new generation of 28nm silicon carbide chip production line, and began to charge towards 20nm and 14nm processes.

In the field of chips in the past two years, there have been two more hot words: silicon carbide and ternary.

Although up to now, the share of ternary smart devices in China is less than 3%, but industry insiders have clearly recognized its huge potential and strong determination in China.

Coupled with the fact that Yellow River Semiconductor is crazy about registering patents, companies around the world are grabbing the outlet.

Qualcomm has even released its self-developed first-generation ternary chip, which is planned to provide AI computing functions as a mobile phone coprocessor, although it has not yet been listed, but it has proven the recognition of the old manufacturers.

Since the ternary system is likely to compete with the binary system in the future, it is quite necessary to lay out the ecological aspect in advance, and the Commission of Science and Technology has attracted three telecommunications giants and seen the hope of opening up the global market.

Zhang Siren was sitting in the back seat of the newly equipped Xin'an business car, and suddenly saw an MPV overtaking him outside the window.

The MPV looks cheap at first glance, and there are a few strange obvious protrusions around the roof, which looks a little out of place, but the most attractive thing is the empty cab.

This is Xin'an after the New Year's Day of the autonomous driving new energy vehicle put into operation, specially approved in the capital of several airports, near the station, the billing price is the same as taxis, but there are actually a lot of discounts, I did not think about returning to the cost.

Due to changes in the world line, the newly released autonomous driving classification system is more stringent than the original world line, and L3 is a fully autonomous driving level, which can participate in traffic without the need for the driver to manually enter the world.

Xin'an is currently the only company in China to produce L3 certified cars, but for the sake of prudence, it will first test operate in the form of unmanned taxis, which will gradually increase the difficulty of the test environment, and launch a commercial model after thoroughly confirming the reliability of autonomous driving.

At the same time, it is also to set aside time for Xin'an to reduce the cost of related technologies, and now the investment in the application of L3 technology is still too high and too high, especially the 14nm process chips produced by the base, which cannot be purchased outside.

However, there is still plenty of time, and relevant legislation is still being supplemented, and there is still a lot of controversy about L3 autonomous vehicles in China. The main reason is how much responsibility the car company should bear in determining the responsibility for traffic accidents.

It is impossible not to bear it completely, but it seems to be biased to bear it completely, and even if it is fully undertaken, there is a problem in determining responsibility.

Assuming that the self-driving vehicle makes a mistake in judgment and kills someone, if the car company is fully responsible, the victim's financial compensation must be indispensable, but who will bear the criminal responsibility?

AI definitely can't go to jail, car owners don't take responsibility, and it's not very reliable for car companies to push out one or two of the management or technical personnel, and it's absolutely impossible to catch them all.

But if a subjective mistake kills someone and only has to lose money, does it mean a huge loophole in the law and a crisis of confidence in autonomous driving?

In the long run, AI cannot be reliable forever and will not be wrong all the time, so how to solve this problem is extremely tricky, and Zhang Siren's guess is not big enough to say that it will definitely be fruitless in two or three years.

Before that, car companies could only roll up on L2, and they could also hard-register L3 autonomous driving as L2++++ to transfer the risk to users.

At that time, some L2s can only assist driving in a regular manner, and some L2s can even help you plug in and rush left and right during the rush hour of the Beijing Second Ring Road, which will seem vague.

Thinking of so many problems in the future, Zhang Siren felt a headache.

The only thing I am glad about is that these troubles belong to the "disease of wealth", and I couldn't ask for them before.

……

Together.

Ai Quan and others have been coming to the EAST team for about two months, and the two teams get along quite well.

Naturally, the talents who engage in big mushrooms are also experts in controlled nuclear fusion technology, and even if they cannot be the leaders, they are qualified mainstays and are very helpful for research.

Nuclear scientists, who are also engaged in peaceful technology, have also grown rapidly after absorbing the relevant weapons design principles, and they are not at all unfamiliar with mastering them, and many valuable ideas have collided.

During this time, the two groups did the most research on controlled nuclear fusion, to be precise, hoping to find ways to improve the conversion rate by in-depth study of the fusion mechanism.

The mainstream hydrogen bomb design uses deuterium-tritium fusion, and the reaction conversion rate is only 0.7%, and only a very small part of the substances participate in the reaction.

If this figure is raised to 7%, then the mass of the megaton yield hydrogen bomb will drop sharply to about ten kilograms, which is only the size of a suitcase.

However, the 200-million-ton yield super-nuclear bomb does not dare to expect to be able to achieve this level, and a group of scientists boldly conceived, and after considering several configurations of nuclear combinations, they only dared to initially set the target at 2 to 3 percent, but in fact, as long as it can exceed 1 percent, it can be regarded as an important breakthrough in the field of nuclear weapons.

So far, the two parties have actually made no progress, and have only proposed a few relatively novel solutions in theory, but they also know at a glance that the potential is limited:

Because most of the plans have been blown up in the last century, the good and the bad are roughly known.

Yu Min has been recuperating, and in his words, "need to wait for an opportunity", and this opportunity is the experiment.

Today they have just been given a new task: to discuss and study the plan to test the explosion of a hydrogen bomb on the moon and try to get inspiration for a new configuration of the hydrogen bomb.

Why get inspiration from an old hydrogen bomb with a bang, is it special just because it exploded on the moon?

Of course not, the explosion of hydrogen bombs in a vacuum has already been done, and the approximate results of a nuclear explosion on the moon will not be beyond expectations for experts, otherwise those nuclear tests in the last century were done in vain.

The peculiarity lies in the speciality of the Moon: helium-three.

It serves as the ideal fuel for third-generation controlled nuclear fusion, because it does not release neutrons during fusion, and the reaction rate is amazingly high, with a theoretical limit of 70%!

This is almost 100 times more powerful than deuterium-tritium fusion, and it is clearly the easiest breakthrough to open.
