I really just want to be a scholar

Qin Ke was so shocked that his eyes widened when he saw that the additional reward corresponding to this new mission was actually the S-level knowledge "The Secret of Controlled Nuclear Fusion".

In this era, the end of new energy is controllable nuclear fusion. The efficiency and stability of solar energy, wind energy, and water energy are completely incomparable to nuclear fusion.

It was not that Qin Ke had no interest in this subject before.

In fact, mankind is also facing an energy crisis. Although the energy currently developed and utilized by mankind is still relatively sufficient, it seems that it is only unsatisfactory in terms of environmental protection, sustainability, efficiency, and cost. In fact, mankind relies solely on natural gas, petroleum, and coal. and other fossil fuels, and the transportation of these fossil fuels has great limitations, making human energy supply always in a tight state.

Moreover, with the development of economy and science and technology, global energy demand continues to increase. Even if the annual growth of wind and solar power generation increases by a record 12%, this tight situation is still intensifying.

To completely solve the crisis of energy shortage for mankind, the most ideal direction is nuclear fusion power generation.

However, controllable nuclear fusion can be said to be at the top of the technological tree in the history of human technological development. Its realization requires the interaction and cooperation of multiple disciplines from theory to engineering, whether it is the ignition of nuclear fusion or the solution to the problem of continuous energy output. , before a breakthrough is made in the field of basic research, it cannot even be done on paper.

Qin Ke had thought about it before and wanted to solve this problem of controllable nuclear fusion. Even if he and Ning Qingyun gathered top scientific researchers from all over the country, they might not be able to see a successful solution under experimental conditions for about ten years. Dawn, let alone from the laboratory to industrialization and commercialization, still has a long way to go.

In today's era, the conditions in the basic research field of nuclear fusion are so immature.

This is also an important reason why Qin Ke did not choose controllable nuclear fusion as a scientific research direction. It was too difficult and would take too long. In addition, the urgency was not that strong.

As global climate change becomes more and more serious and the world faces a "big collapse" in the near future, the food crisis and freshwater crisis pose a greater threat to human survival, and it is more urgent to research solutions.

Even if he can really get the S-level knowledge "The Secret of Controlled Nuclear Fusion", Qin Ke will probably take the time and energy to study this direction only after he is sure to solve the problem of global climate change, but there is no doubt that this Qin Ke would still be very excited if he could really get a piece of S-level knowledge.

This is the curiosity and longing for unknown technology as a scientist!

No matter what, Qin Ke was in a very good mood after seeing this new task "Please solve the safety problem of radioactive elements". This new task is basically consistent with his current goal of solving the nuclear sewage problem, and it is equivalent to a reward task. .

"Qin Xiaoke, why are you in such a daze?" Qin Ke came back to his senses when he felt his sleeves being gently pulled by someone. It turned out to be Ning Qingyun who kept his head bowed and said nothing, along with Ding Sibo and Ding Sibo who were cheering excitedly around him. Zhou Zhishu and the researchers all fell silent at a loss.

Qin Ke smiled again: "It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about which people to send to Italy, De Country, and Eagle Country to participate in the fresh water pilot plant project."

"These three countries are all major European countries, and the freshwater pilot plant is of great importance to whether our 'Lime Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution 2.0' can take off in Europe." He looked around. Everyone said solemnly:

"We want to develop business in Europe with two goals. The first goal is naturally to make some money, seize the European market, and close relations with European countries, at least to make European countries become our country's best choice in dealing with extreme climate disasters. A steadfast comrade-in-arms in all problems!”

"The second goal is to help the European people solve the fresh water crisis!"

"I mentioned it when this project was launched. The freshwater crisis will be an important survival issue that all humans will face in the future. Our goal in researching this freshwater technology is also to solve this freshwater crisis problem for humans. Now that we have The only solution is to have obligations and responsibilities to help people in various countries completely get out of the fresh water crisis. I hope that those who go to Europe to participate in the construction projects of these three fresh water pilot plants will have such awareness and sense of responsibility, and do their best. We will do everything possible to build the best freshwater plant and accumulate enough experience for the later opening of a desalination plant in Xiaguo."

Everyone became solemn upon hearing this.In addition to making money and interests in life, there must always be some lofty belief to support one's actions. Now Qin Ke has given them the same belief.

This can be said to be the corporate culture and soul of Green Lemon Technology - making money is not the most important thing. The goal of scientific research should be to promote the progress of human civilization and make human beings live a better and more convenient life in the future.

This kind of corporate culture may seem a bit naive and idealistic for young people, but it is precisely because of this kind of corporate culture that Qing Ning Technology is like a magnet, attracting countless passionate young people to join it and follow behind Qin Kening Qingyun. , making more and more contributions to the future progress of mankind.

Qin Ke looked around the audience again: "Okay, having said that, those who want to go on a business trip to Europe please raise your hands."

Almost all hands were raised and there was no looking back!

Qin Ke met a pair of bright eyes, his heart warmed, and he said warmly: "Thank you all for your enthusiastic registration. This business trip will take at least half a year. Please consider family factors. But I promise here that in addition to the additional business trip, In addition to the subsidy, employees with family members and children can go to Europe to visit relatives once a month, and all the travel expenses will be paid by Lime Technology!"

The whole audience burst into warm applause, and even Ning Qingyun clapped her white hands happily.

There is only one thought in everyone's mind: How can such a caring leader not make people go all out and motivated?
……

After arranging the affairs of Yuanzhou Research Center, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun stayed with their families in Yuanzhou for another three days before quietly flying back to the capital with their two babies. After a short rest, they went straight to Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory .Unknowingly, the pace of time has entered November, and the capital has already entered late autumn, with yellow leaves dancing in the autumn wind.The temperature even dropped to about 10 degrees Celsius, making people wonder whether the average temperature of 35 degrees Celsius a month ago was just a dream.

For ordinary people in Beijing, life is still as dull and busy. They get up early to catch the subway and bus, and then rush to the company amidst the crowds and long traffic jams. Many people often wear leather shoes and high heels and run all the way, just to You can press the fingerprint punch-in machine or successfully swipe your face to complete the clock-in before the deadline to avoid salary deductions due to lateness.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in the ordinary, busy and helpless day after day, the news that can increase the conversation and make people feel happy is probably the famous academician Qin Ke and his wife who have made a splash in Europe and are highly praised by the European people. cult following.

In the past hundred years, Xia's science and technology has lagged behind Europe. When did Xia's scientists receive such popularity in Europe?

It is said that those arrogant old and famous universities are begging Academician Qin and his wife to give lectures, but Academician Qin and his wife do not want to do anything to them.

The most disheartening thing is that Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun also rejected the Eagle Queen's conferment. How could such a gesture not make Xiaguo netizens who are used to seeing Chinese people bowing their eyebrows in front of European royal families feel comfortable? Cool?

Anyway, netizens praised Qin Ke and his wife's whereabouts and activities in Europe. These discussions did not calm down until Qin Ke and his wife returned home in a low-key manner, and they have occupied the Internet traffic for a long time.

Some professors of sociology even analyzed this "abnormal traffic phenomenon" in a serious way, believing it to be an explosion of national consciousness. This opinion aroused heated discussions among many netizens.

However, a certain netizen said disdainfully and to the point: "This professor is talking nonsense. Everyone likes to pay attention to the news about Academician Qin. The so-called national pride is not the main reason. The real reason is that watching the young couple talking about Academician Qin Ke Like the protagonist of a cool Internet article, he dominates Europe and makes ordinary netizens who are used to being depressed and exploited feel extra comfortable and breathable!"

Countless netizens gave him likes.

But these things are not news worthy of attention for scientific research institutions and researchers engaged in quantum computing and quantum chip research. What really makes them pay close attention and shock is an article announced by Xia Guo’s patent management department. information.

The patent application materials named "Majorana Fermion Carrier - Lime Superconducting Material No. [-]" have been submitted, passed the acceptance and preliminary review stages, and have officially entered the announcement stage!

The news spread, and the entire quantum computer industry was shocked.

There are so many patent technology applications related to superconducting materials. This is one of the hottest directions at present. In order to register patents, many research institutions dare to submit patent applications as long as they have a little bit of achievements, but this "Ling Lemon Superconductor No. [-]" Materials" are never the same.

Because its application unit is "Qing Ning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory", the patent owners are "Qing Ning Technology Qin Ke and Ning Qing Yun"!
Regardless of the name, they are all powerful beings in the field of quantum computing research who can shake up three people with just a shake of their legs!

More than two years ago, the "Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" and "Ling Ning Superconducting No. [-] Material" were born, solving the problem of high fault tolerance of millions of qubits in one fell swoop, thus shocking the whole world. , countless people exclaimed, "This is a great invention that is destined to profoundly affect the history of human computers!" - These two great scientific research inventions also became an important bargaining chip for Qin Kening Qingyun to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In fact, this is the case. From that day on, almost all companies and scientific research institutions around the world studying quantum computers have been conducting various interpretations and derivative research around the "Ling Lemon Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System", hoping to put it into practice as soon as possible. These theoretical results have been transformed into commercial results, achieving a huge leap forward in the fault-tolerant mechanism of which today's mainstream only has 64 qubits.

But unfortunately, the theory is indeed very advanced, but the actual preparation conditions do not meet the requirements. The performance of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 1000" is impeccable, and it can indeed solve the problem of high fault tolerance of millions of qubits. The cost of 130 million yuan per gram (about [-] million U.S. dollars per gram) is too high, the preparation is too difficult, and it has no commercial value for regular promotion.

Even research institutions with deep pockets such as IBM and Google Quantum Computer Research Center did not spend money to buy the right to use the patent for the preparation of "Lime Superconducting Material No. 5000". Instead, they chose to shell out US$[-] million. We purchased a small amount of "Ling Ning Superconducting No. [-] Material" from the Qing Ning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory for research, and we saw this shortcoming.

Instead of spending a huge amount of money to buy a patent that is not needed, it is better to slowly study it by yourself based on years of technology accumulation and the "Ling Lemon Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System"!
In the next two years, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun continued to achieve new and significant results in the NS equation, Yang-Mills equation, fluid mechanics, particle physics, and climate prediction. However, the Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory quietly There was no sound, and many people were sighing, wondering if the two most talented young academicians had stopped working hard in the direction of quantum computing, just like the "Lime Operating System" where they had achieved dazzling results before. , "Computational Seedology" and "Perfect Desert Sweet Potato", they only act as "lighters of the torch" and entrust the future of the flames to others.

In sharp contrast to the Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory, all the world's mainstream quantum computing research institutions have made a lot of progress along the "Lingning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System". For example, IBM just half a year ago Previously announced the successful development of a 512-bit quantum computing prototype that can achieve a high fault tolerance rate of more than 90%. It also claimed that "it will only take about ten years to reach industrial mass production at the earliest. By then, every university will You can have your own quantum computer!"

Although the blueprint described in this declaration is still far from universal access to quantum computers, it is exciting enough. Countless people seem to see the broad prospects of quantum computers, and a large amount of hot money has also flowed into related research fields like a snowball. and “unicorn companies”.

Just as practitioners in the field of quantum computer research have focused their attention on famous quantum computer research institutions such as the Max Planck Society, Google Quantum Computer Research Center, IBM, MIT, and the University of California, Berkeley, no one has Unexpectedly, news of the release of "Lime Superconducting Material No. [-]" would suddenly break out!

Moreover, from the public information of the patent application of Qing Ning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory, it can be found that the cost of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 10" is only about [-] US dollars per gram, which is significantly lower than that of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" Hundreds of thousands of times, but all data indicators are not inferior to "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]", and even slightly better in some indicators!
For today's mainstream quantum chips, only a small piece of about 2g of "Lime Superconducting No. 99.99 Material" needs to be covered between the quantum communication modules to ensure the fidelity of millions of qubits. And the fault tolerance rate reaches [-]%!

This is very scary. It means that before the qubits exceed one million levels, each quantum chip only needs to increase the cost by 20 US dollars, and there is no need to worry about the quantum entanglement problem caused by "quantum decoherence". All quantum chip research institutes , laboratories, only need to consider how to excite more qubits in limited chip materials at a lower cost and more stably!

The development of quantum chips and even quantum computers will usher in a new era!
So when a certain media keenly discovered this news about the "Lime Superconducting Material No. [-]" and announced it, the entire quantum computer industry was caught off guard and fell into collective aphasia. (End of chapter)
