It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Are I abnormal or are you abnormal..."

"You have mastered quantum computer technology in ten days?"

"To be precise, it was four days. This architecture diagram took me a week."

Facing Lu Yongchang's response, Fang Xu slapped his smooth forehead with a slap.

"Brother, you are my brother!"

"Have you verified this thing?"

"Does a supercomputing center cost a lot of money? If something happens, how are you going to explain it to the chairman?"

Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with a strange face: "Didn't you tell me to report for me?"

Fang Xu: "???"

Seeing Fang Xu's expression like eating shit, Lu Yongchang couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"After the report is up, you can ask the chairperson to find someone to verify."

"I only have one request, I need to see this supercomputing center in the shortest possible time."

"This is related to the future of Xia Kingdom!"

Fang Xu took a deep look at Lu Yongchang, and shook his head helplessly: "All right, I'll run an errand for you."

Seeing Fang Xu turned around and was about to leave the office, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, and said again: "By the way, help me find some people in the field of artificial intelligence. It should be more reliable."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yongchang turned his head and said to Su Yutong who was at the side: "Yutong, help me find some latest research results of artificial intelligence."

Chapter 95 Optical Quantum Computers and Superconducting Circuit Quantum Computers

Xia Guo, within the first ring of the capital.

The chairman of the council looked at Fang Xu in front of him solemnly.

"Academician Fang, did you just mention the Quantum Computer Supercomputing Center?"

It's not that he doubts, but that quantum computers have been studied by Xia Guo since a long time ago.

Some good results have also been achieved in the laboratory.

For example, nine chapters.

As a prototype of an optical quantum computer with 76 qubits, Jiuzhang has received numerous praises.

With the nine-chapter quantum computer, Xia Guo even became the second country in the world to achieve quantum hegemony in one fell swoop.

But the reality is not so optimistic.

Jiuzhang Quantum Computer does not use general-purpose superconducting circuits, ion traps or semiconductor chips, but opens up another path, using photons as qubits, and manipulating photons to achieve calculations.

But this is a tricky way.

At least for now, optical quantum computers do not have the potential to be made into universal quantum computers.

The reason is very simple, photon has good coherence and long coherence time, which is the advantage of optical quantum computer, and it is also a trick.

But why is the coherence good?

Quite simply, photons interact extremely weakly with their environment.

This also leads to another consequence.

It is difficult for humans, at least for now, to precisely manipulate photons.

This also created an embarrassing situation.

It does not enable universal quantum computing.

In other words, it cannot be programmed, but can only perform operations on specific items.

On the classical mathematical algorithm of Gaussian Bose sampling, the calculation speed of Jiuzhang computer has reached an extremely terrifying level, but it has no effect on other projects.

As a research project that Xia Guo devoted a lot of energy to, the Chairman of the Congress is naturally aware of the disadvantages of Jiuzhang, and also understands the difficulty of realizing a universal quantum computer.

Therefore, Mr. Li expressed his doubts about what Fang Xu said.

Facing the question from the chairperson, Fang Xu shrugged slightly: "Chairman, don't ask me, I don't know anything about this stuff."

"You can find someone to verify it. This is what Professor Lu said."

After pondering for a moment, he added softly: "In addition, he also said that the Quantum Supercomputing Center will play a decisive role in the future of Xia Kingdom."

The chairperson's expression suddenly became serious.

"okay, I get it!"

"In this case..." Mr. Li's eyes flashed with determination, "Let the construction team start construction according to the drawings, and produce all kinds of equipment and parts first."

"As for the verification, I will go to the Academy of Sciences myself tomorrow!"

……

Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.

As a master in the field of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, Mo Zeyang was staring at the computer screen in front of him solemnly.

Seeing this scene, the researcher at the side couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "Academician Mo, are you still struggling with superconducting circuit quantum computers?"

The researcher's voice interrupted Mo Zeyang's train of thought.

He turned his head and glanced at the researcher standing beside him looking at the computer screen, and frowned slightly: "Of course."

The bitterness in the researcher's eyes grew stronger, and he sighed softly: "Academician Mo, now Xia Guo's funding for quantum computers is getting less and less."

"Since the crisis in the sun, most of Xia Guo's scientific research funding has been given to Professor Lu Yongchang."

"In addition to the fact that the original nine chapters have to allocate part of the funds, the funds in our hands have already..."

The researcher was silent for a while, and then said again: "Why don't we study optical quantum computers?"

"no!"

Mo Zeyang said firmly: "Superconducting quantum computers are definitely the direction of future universal quantum computers!"

"Only a superconducting quantum computer can achieve artificial intelligence!"

"But, we have no funds!" The researcher sighed heavily, "Academician Mo, look, how many people have chosen to leave..."

Mo Zeyang's face darkened.

"I... just wait, maybe I can solve this circuit architecture problem."

Mo Zeyang's voice was full of unconfidence.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a knock on the door.

Mo Zeyang turned his head to look in the direction of the gate, and then said softly to the researcher beside him, "Go open the door and have a look."

Seeing the back of the researcher walking towards the door, Mo Zeyang's eyes flashed doubts.

At this time, who would come to their "poor place"?

"Chairman?!"

"Why are you here?!"

The researcher's exclamation made Mo Zeyang stunned.

Then, a familiar face appeared in front of his eyes.

"Academician Mo?" Mr. Li said with a smile, "I came to see you suddenly, so it shouldn't bother you, right?"

Mo Zeyang stood up from the chair in a hurry, and looked at Councilor Li cautiously: "Chairman, you... you sit down."

Seeing the chairperson sitting down, Mo Zeyang looked a little more natural: "Chairman, you came to me suddenly because of..."

The chairperson smiled and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.

"Here, look at the structure diagram inside."

Mo Zeyang took the USB flash drive with a puzzled expression, and inserted it into the computer in the office.

The file was large, and he waited quite a while to open it.

Mo Zeyang's face changed slightly the moment he saw the detailed structure diagram!

"This is... the architecture diagram of a superconducting circuit quantum computer?" Mo Zeyang's voice trembled, "You, where did you get this?"

"How is it? Is this thing reliable?"

The chairman of the congress did not answer Mo Zeyang's question, but asked softly.

Mo Zeyang fell silent.

After a long time, he said with a slightly hoarse voice: "Chairman, I... I don't know."

"Huh?" Councilor Li raised his eyebrows lightly, "Academician Mo, you are a master in the field of superconducting circuits and quantum computers in Xiaguo, can't you see it?"

Mo Zeyang shook his head slowly, with a bit of bewilderment and a bit of shock in his eyes: "My research has not reached this point..."

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and said with firm eyes: "However, I can tell you responsibly that this architecture diagram solves a difficult problem I am currently studying."

The chairman of the congress froze, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing the chairman of the council lost in thought and stopped talking, Mo Zeyang felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat.

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't help himself, and asked, "Chairman, can you tell me who made this structure diagram?"

Hearing Mo Zeyang's question, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li's mouth, his lips moved slightly, and he announced a person's name.

"Professor Lu?!" Mo Zeyang was taken aback, "I heard he is not from the Department of Physics?"

Councilor Li's smile deepened: "I heard from Fang Xu, that kid Lu Yongchang spent ten days tossing it out."

Chapter 96 Pathfinder Launched Successfully

Hearing the chairman's words, Mo Zeyang's breathing became a little short.

He exclaimed in surprise: "Professor Lu, what is this going to do?!"

"Quantum supercomputing center, and...artificial intelligence." The chairman of the council said word by word, while staring into Mo Zeyang's eyes, "Do you think this is possible?"

Mo Zeyang froze in place.

Gradually, his face gradually turned red, and sparks of excitement flashed in his eyes!

He stood up from his chair with a bang, and said excitedly: "Chairman! Where is Professor Lu?"

"I'm going to find him!"

"I have said long ago that quantum computers with superconducting circuits are the key to solving artificial intelligence!" Mo Zeyang's face was full of excitement, "After all these years, I have finally arrived!"

Mo Zeyang's reaction obviously exceeded the expectations of the chairman.

Councilor Li calmed down, and said slowly: "Do you think this architecture scheme can realize a universal quantum computer?"

Facing Mr. Li's question, Mo Zeyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly but slowly.

……

At the same time, the United States, the rocket launch base.

Three 150-meter-high Saturn VI heavy-duty launch vehicles leaned quietly beside the launch iron frame.

In the landing cabin, the three astronauts sat nervously on their seats.

Andrew swallowed slightly, and whispered to his companion beside him, "Bruno, I'm a little nervous..."

Hearing Andrew's words, Bruno on the side looked at Andrew with a wry smile: "Don't talk about you, I'm nervous too."

"I haven't been in space yet..."

The female astronaut Joey on the other side sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Me too..."

Andrew: "..."

Of course he knew that neither of them had ever been in space!

I don't know what kind of aircraft NASA is working on, but the three astronauts of the Pathfinder program are all volunteers.

After a short and rough training, the three selected astronauts were hastily sent into the Saturn VI launch vehicle.
