Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 77 The High Mountains You Can Only Look Up to

2014 1 Month 29 Day.

In the afternoon, Zhong Cheng, Zhao Wei, Liu Yuzhu, Yang Xi, Li Mei and other researchers from the R&D Institute participated in the 2013 Red Star Company Commendation Conference.

On the big playground of Red Star Company, there are more participants this year than in previous years.

At the meeting, Mr. Wan introduced the operation of Red Star Company in 2013.

The two main businesses have reached new highs, especially the newly established electric car company, which produced and sold more than 42 electric cars of various types throughout the year, and sold 38.5 sets of power batteries to the outside world, achieving an operating income of 965.46 billion.

The machine tool manufacturing company produced and sold 13579 sets of machine tools of various types, and achieved an operating income of 395.85 billion.

Driven by the main business, Red Star's supporting and industrial upstream factories have also been greatly developed and expanded. The more prominent ones include standard parts factory, gear factory, bearing factory, electronic equipment factory, forging factory, foundry factory and Measuring tool factory.

Their production capacity and product quality have been greatly improved, not only ensuring internal supply, but also opening up domestic and international markets, with external operating income reaching 85.48 billion yuan.

For the whole year, Red Star Company achieved a record operating income of 1446.79 billion, an increase of nearly ten times compared with 12, and its profit increased by dozens of times.

This is a miracle of modern enterprise development, and 15 Red Star people are the creators of this miracle.

Mr. Wan then announced the company's business goals. This year, it plans to achieve an operating income of 5000 billion yuan and enter the list of the world's top 500 companies. It strives to enter the top 100 within two years, enter the top 10 within five years, and win No.1 within ten years.

（PS：2013年世界第一强公司荷兰皇家壳牌石油公司营业收入4817亿美元，换算成人民币为30297亿元，No.1014735.32亿元，第100名4853.37亿元，第500名1457.65亿元。）
Mr. Wan's speech won warm applause from the audience for the first time in so many years. The company's tepid operating conditions and stable development goals in the past few years made the participants uninterested, and the applause was mostly perfunctory.

Moreover, the substantial increase in the company's operating income and profits will definitely bring about a substantial increase in the income of employees. One year's hard work has been rewarded handsomely, and the employees' mood can be imagined.

The announcement of the list of award-winning units and individuals for the following year is equally exciting. Unlike previous years, the number and quality of award-winning units and individuals this year are also several times that of previous years, covering more than a dozen branches and production plants of Red Star Company. Individual units and individuals outshine others.

Although there was no such thing as Zhong Cheng and others, Zhong Cheng was still watching with great interest, introducing Yang Xi, a newcomer, while watching.

Zhou Hu and Gui Bin were commended again for the Gonggong manufacturing system project, and many acquaintances of the machine tool factory also received awards.

But more are the participants of the daily project. Minister Zhang won the second-class personal merit, and vice-minister Xu also ratified the second-class personal merit. His son came to the stage to receive the award. They have paid for the construction of the electric car company. enormous contributions.

The power battery factory won the collective first-class merit, and Zheng Yilun, Chen Qiang and other main management and technical personnel have received corresponding awards.

Yang Xi was overwhelmed by seeing it, and thought that no matter how a company does business, it ultimately depends on the benefits. Only when the benefits are good and the company is developing and growing, will the employees get real benefits, be more motivated, and the cohesion of the company will be strong.

Although Zhong Cheng disagrees, he believes that the spirit of an enterprise is the most important thing. People who come together for material interests will sooner or later fall apart because of interests.

But he is still very happy to see that everyone has received material benefits. After all, everyone has a better life, so they have more energy and enthusiasm for work.

Although it is no longer the era of only talking about contributions but not returns, he still hopes that this spirit can be inherited and carried forward.

……

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng called everyone over, and he invited guests to dinner as usual, once a year is a little less, but isn't everyone busy?

This year, Zhong Cheng's party members added Yang Xi to last year's addition. This time Li Mei was invited by Zhao Wei himself. Everyone said that they should not be polite in the future, and just follow along.

Yang Xi and Li Mei had known each other in the research and development institute, but it was the first time they met Zhou Hu and Gui Bin, and Zhong Cheng made another introduction.

During the meal, Zhong Cheng inadvertently brought up the matter of quantum computers, but unexpectedly aroused Gui Bin's great interest.

He believes that although prototypes of quantum computers have been manufactured, they have also created some miracles.

For example, Google's "quantum supremacy" (the name of the quantum computer) solved a mathematical problem that would take 200 million years for a classical supercomputer to solve in just 1 seconds, no less than the scene of AlphaGo that swept the Go world back then.

But in fact, the quantum computer that can be put into practical use is still far away, and it is blocked by a threshold, which is the basic physical theory.

A quantum computer is a brand-new computer based on quantum theory. It follows the laws of quantum mechanics and uses qubits, which can be in multiple states at the same time, unlike traditional computers that can only be in the binary state of 0 or 1.

The difficulty of quantum computing lies in the precise manipulation of the quantum state of microscopic particles.

We hope to have quantum chips with higher integration, longer coherence time, better connectivity, and more entangled bits, but the fragility of the quantum state determines that we cannot have both.

With more qubits in a quantum computer, the coherence time and fidelity will be reduced, and it will even become a huge random noise generator.

To solve this problem, we can only count on the breakthrough of basic physical theory.

In fact, human science has not made great progress in recent decades, and has been developing on the two cornerstones of relativity and quantum theory.

At most, it is just tinkering with some details. Human society seems to be thriving, but in fact it is only a technological development, not a theoretical development.

The practical application of quantum computer technology, undoubtedly, cannot be realized under the current theoretical framework of basic physics.

Gui Bin's words sparked a heated discussion among the people, and those engaged in scientific research were very interested in computer performance.

Who doesn't want to have a super computer to assist in the research and development work, and hand over some complicated experiments and demonstrations to the computer for simulation. The time saved is life!
Quantum computers are the artifacts of scientific researchers.

After discussing for a while, everyone reluctantly agreed with Gui Bin's opinion, breaking through the theory of relativity and quantum theory, that is a mountain that everyone can only look up to!
It took thousands of years of human development to produce an Einstein and a Schrödinger, and I don’t know when the next master of basic physics theory will appear.

Zhong Cheng couldn't help but think of Ye Wenxin again, isn't she the one who is climbing this mountain?

Ugh!
