I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Xu Mang looked nervously at the huge equipment in front of him. Although it was a bit crude, with all the circuits and components exposed, it was the most advanced quantum computer in the world, with 3,600 qubits. .

Professor Xu...

It will be completed soon, and it is estimated that... the relevant testing session will be carried out in the afternoon. An engineer said to Xu Mang, Do you want to participate in the inspection together?

...

I'll wait and see. Xu Mang nodded, and said seriously, It's not that I don't trust you, this device...you participated in the whole process of chip development and assembly, so you should know how much it costs. Question... do you know what the consequences are?

Hearing Xu Mang's words,

With a trace of worry on his face, the engineer said helplessly, I know...the consequences will be catastrophic.

soon,

The first quantum computer in the true sense was completed, and many people were moved to tears. After several days and nights of work, the work was finally completed. Although there were tears, but the face was full of pride. The transformation of world technology , also has its own figure.

Xu Mang and everyone present checked the device, inside and out, and finally confirmed that there was no problem, but... everyone couldn't guarantee that there would be no problems during the testing phase.

Among them is Xu Mang. In the past, he was only in charge of the theoretical part. If something went wrong, he could confidently tell others that the theory of labor and management was correct, but now it doesn't work... As the head of the Quantum Computer Research Institute, he needs to bear all the consequences .

Ahem...

Now I'm officially informing everyone that the test session will be postponed until tomorrow. Let's work together in the afternoon to find out the problem. Xu Mang couldn't guarantee that there was no problem with this device, so he decided to spend another afternoon to check for hidden problems. .

have lunch,

Xu Mang just took a few steamed buns and three packs of Fuling mustard. He stayed in the laboratory alone and began to check the equipment. However, in order to increase the speed, Xu Mang began to cheat.

The system... how to quickly check this device?

【Practice makes perfect skills】

Xu Mang: 囧

It seems that I can't skip this link after all.

Xu Mang silently activated the 'Practice Makes Perfect' ability, and at the same time activated the 'Beast Mode' to continue to minimize the time required.

right...

Here is right!

This place...is right too!

only half an hour,

Xu Mang had almost completed one-third of the progress. At this time, the three assigned researchers came to the laboratory. The three of them had the same idea as Xu Mang. They used this short lunch break to complete some stagnant work. .

result...

They were surprised to find that Xu Mang had been inside for a long time, and there were still unfinished steamed buns and mustard on the table.

...

...

...

The three of them were speechless for a while, even this big scientist was working hard, so what reason did he have to go to sleep?

Professor Xu?

Is it so early? Li Siyao said seriously, You must not have eaten yet, right?

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to see the three of them, shook his head, and said, Eat...didn't you see the steamed buns on my table? I ate two and two packs of pickled mustard. By the way... you Why are you here? Why don't you take a break? You still have to work in the afternoon.

Li Siyao smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: Professor Li... Seeing you like this, what reason do we have to rest?

words fall,

The three of them joined the team one after another, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Li Siyao and the others also liked staying with Xu Mang. The main reason was that he was different from the experts and professors in the past. He was very funny and would tell others a joke from time to time. .

It's hard to imagine that a world-renowned great scientist is full of humor... This is completely different from the impression he gives to the outside world. Before they got in touch with Xu Mang, Li Siyao and the others had a stereotyped impression of Xu Mang , Conformist, strict.

However...

Hahaha!

Let me tell you...the thief was so exciting at that time! Xu Mang said with a smile: The American guy was taken aback by me for a while, and he didn't even know his last name. Do you think I'm awesome?

...

...

...

at this time,

Xu Mang continued.

Actually, there is one thing to say. Although I have not achieved the legendary beauty of the prosperous age, I am alone, and I am at least in the top three in the world of handsome men. Xu Mang said seriously: What do you say? ...A handsome guy of this level, how many wives should he have?

I...

Two? Li Siyao replied helplessly.

What? Two?! Xu Mang turned his head and glanced at Li Siyao, and said angrily, Two are just the foundation, work hard to start with four! Don't be too many, if you can't control it, you can reach seven , you have to understand a truth... If they are willing to marry a handsome guy of this level, they don't care how many competitors they have around them!

The three of them were stupefied. After getting in touch with each other for the past few days, they already knew some of Xu Mang's habits, such as being thick-skinned, living in his own world, liking all kinds of super sports cars, and staying in the office in a daze. lie down...

but...

Everything else is fine, this guy is thick-skinned... something doesn't seem right.

He has no skin at all!

What the hell is marrying a handsome guy of this level, and she doesn't care how many competitors are around her.

Ahem!

Professor Xu...Actually, being handsome can't do whatever you want, sometimes you have to look inside. Li Siyao said, Handsome is only the appearance, but the heart is the soul, Professor Xu...Actually, you have to improve your inner...

words fall,

Even Li Siyao felt that he couldn't make it up anymore. Speaking of the inside... Is Professor Xu not enough inside?

Time passed by every minute, every second,

soon,

The large team came to the laboratory and devoted themselves to the intense work in the afternoon. In fact, Xu Mang had already checked almost everything, but for the sake of caution, let others continue to check, one more guarantee, one more point of safety.

Well?

This... what's the situation?

Xu Mang found a very serious problem with the last key - the ion trap. He found a screw on the ground, a very small screw, hidden under a certain ion trap. For a while, Xu Mang felt unprecedented. panic.

The ion trap is one of the core components of a quantum computer. As the core component of multi-qubit expansion, the ion trap undertakes the task of generating photons or ions. It is connected to an ultra-fine optical thermostat. Once the ion trap works unstable, it means that the equipment will be paralyzed.

hurried out of the laboratory,

Xu Mang made an emergency call to Director Xie Buchen of the Supercomputing Center of the Academy of Sciences.

Hello?

Director Xie...Which department prepared this ion trap? Xu Mang asked seriously.

Immediately afterwards,

Xie Buchen told Xu Mang an address.

I...I found a screw under the ion trap! Xu Mang said, I'm worried that this screw fell off the ion trap.

Hearing Xu Mang's words, Xie Buchen said with horror on his face, A screw... this...

suddenly,

The two fell into silence.

I'll immediately contact the person in charge over there and ask him to send experts over, and all relevant experiments will be stopped! Xie Buchen said, Report to your superiors...

I will!

hang up the phone,

Xu Mang returned to the laboratory and informed everyone of the decision to suspend the experiment. For a moment, everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Mang curiously.

And Xu Mang didn't tell everyone the real situation, for fear of dampening enthusiasm. As the decision maker of the entire project, Xu Mang needed to take the overall situation into consideration, and sometimes he had to think about a lot of emotions underneath.

be a leader,

Being a qualified leader is really tiring!

Hello?

Xiaoman... I have to come back today, and I have encountered some difficult things. Xu Mang called Yang Xiaoman, and said helplessly: It's very important... the amount is very huge, and if you fail, you will lose money. cause great economic loss.

Yang Xiaoman didn't cry and make a fuss, but forced Xu Mang to go home, and comforted Xu Mang gently.

the next day,

An expert team composed of ten people arrived at the Quantum Computer Research Institute in Shanghai, and met Xu Mang. After a simple greeting, they went into the inspection process. Li Siyao, who was standing next to Xu Mang, had A little anxious.

At four o'clock yesterday afternoon,

The three of them received the notice and went to Xu Mang's office, where they heard the bad news. They found a small screw under the ion trap. Don't look at a small screw. Most of the time, important disasters often appear in the small screw. Above the problem, a chain reaction ensued.

Xu Mang was not in the mood to explore who caused the accident. The most important task at present was to solve this screw.

two hours later,

The investigation is still going on, and the reason for the problem of this screw is still not found, and the bad news seems to have been announced in advance, before the official test, one after another.

at this time,

Li Siyao found out on the Internet that the quantum computer screw incident suddenly appeared on the Internet.

Xu...

Professor Xu... come here! Li Siyao shouted at Xu Mang with a bloodless face, There is one thing... I want to tell you.

oh...

in a corner,

Xu Mang looked at Weibo with horror on his face. It was a well-known big V's revelation, and the content was about the quantum computer screw incident. The number of retweets has exceeded 20,000, and the impact is very bad!

Why does it appear online?

this...

what is happening?

at this very moment,

Xu Mang suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. He had thought that something like this might happen before, but he never expected that America's actions would be so fast. Who secretly spread the news?

What about Professor Xu?

This... how to deal with this? Li Siyao asked.

I'll call the Academy of Sciences... Xu Mang said with a dark face, It seems... this war without gunpowder has officially started.
