I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

The chief engineer of Berry Country's national railway system has a plan in mind.

This is a plan that has been in his planning for a long time. He has led his professor team and has been cultivating it for more than ten years. Many physicists are temporary instructors in the team.

This is a very commercially valuable product, with strong practical significance and economic benefits.

He never thought that the nuclear-powered battery train could become the foundation of a great country!

The chief engineer looked excited, maybe from this moment on, he will become the creator of the most important means of transportation in the next few decades in Berry Country.

He continued: "And the sensing device!"

"The sensing device is the ultrasonic sensing period, including the ultrasonic sensing head, which is used to sense the position and movement state of objects outside the vehicle body through ultrasonic waves."

"The most critical nuclear power battery power supply device is installed on the chassis and consists of nuclear batteries, high-voltage control boxes, etc. The fault alarm system is controlled by a super intelligent computer."

"Supercomputers are the center for collecting, analyzing, predicting, and processing various data. The supercomputers developed by our great Berry Country can serve this function!"

Ain closed his eyes, and the structure of the nuclear power battery train appeared in his mind, and he felt more and more that this design met the needs of Berry Country.

"That's the decision. Berry National Nuclear Power will use nuclear power battery design!"

After pondering for a long time, Professor Ain said decisively.

"You once designed the Berry Country Peanuttown National Railway. How about giving this task to you to lead?"

When the chief engineer heard this, his face turned red. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and immediately said: "Professor Ain, Sir Commander, I am very lucky to have this opportunity. No one in Berry Country is more suitable for developing nuclear power batteries than me. The train's on!!"

Joad nodded in agreement.

Ain is the director of the Berry Country's Secret Service. He will not easily interfere with the work of disaster prevention and doomsday facilities.

However, Yoder thought of something and asked: "I remember you said before that the most serious problem with their nuclear-powered trains in Dragon Kingdom and Sakura Kingdom is that they don't have computers that can operate in extremely cold environments?"

The chief engineer of the national railway said respectfully: "Yes, sir, but we don't have this concern."

"Okay, great!"

Joad narrowed his eyes as a plan formed in his mind.

two hours later.

Stefan, the chief technical advisor of Intel Corporation and the honorary president of the International Solid State Circuit Association, rushed to the government office of Berry Country. "My lord, I am the chief technical consultant and chief engineer of Intel Corporation!" Stefan saluted respectfully.

The blond-haired Yoder sat on a chair, drank a Coke, and his posture was casual, without the slightest seriousness that a president should have.

"Stefan, I came to you to learn about a product under Intel's banner." Yoder said.

Stefan was surprised, "Horse Ridge cryogenic control chip?"

At this juncture, the Little Ice Age is coming, and the era of extreme cold is coming,

As for Intel, just a few months ago, it developed the Ho"se. Ridge low-temperature control chip. Apart from this product, Stefan didn't think there was anything else that could attract the attention of the commander. Sure enough, Yoder pointed He nodded and asked, "Is this technology only mastered by the Great Berry Country? "

Stefan said: "Our Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip has added stronger functions and higher integration, so as to control the quantum system more elegantly, and compared with the previous generation, this generation of products has the functions of manipulation and reading. With the new functionality of qubits, it is also possible to control the multiple gates needed to entangle multiple qubits!"

"Previous quantum systems have used room-temperature electronics with many coaxial cables, and the need to connect the cables to the quantum chip inside the cooling device has limited scaling to the number of qubits n

O

"Our Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip fundamentally simplifies the equipment and wires required to operate a quantum computer, uses a highly integrated single-chip system SOC, simplifies system design, and uses complex signal processing technology to shorten Setting time, the performance of the qubits is improved, and the number of qubits can be expanded more efficiently!"

"After continuous improvement, our new generation of Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip can already operate at one Kelvin, that is, minus 270 two degrees..."

Yoder frowned impatiently, and said, "I just want to know whether this technology can create technical barriers."

Stefan had a disappointed expression on his face.

Such a precise, perfect and ingenious design, Yoder can't understand the beauty of it.

But the other party is the Commander, so he naturally didn't dare to offend, so he could only say: "Yes, Commander, this technology is very difficult. Just using the SOC to generate radio frequency pulses to control the state of the qubits is a very difficult task." technology, not to mention more complex qubit readout and multi-gate pulses and so on.”

A smile appeared on Yoder's face, and he said: "So, what if we sell this horse cryogenic chip to Dragon Kingdom and Sakura Kingdom?"

Stefan's face changed slightly, and he said: "Master Commander, it's the horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip... Are you really determined to sell this technology? Intel will not agree, this is the most monopolistic chip we currently have. One of the chips of sex."

Chip technology, how could it be easily sold!

In a space the size of a fingernail, hundreds of millions of semiconductor components are placed, and the size of each component is on the order of nanometers.

There are tens of thousands of people in Intel's research and development department, and more than 80.00% of them are doctoral students in related majors. It is enough to see how difficult chip design is.

Yoder didn't think so, and said, "So what if the design of the chip is sold?"

"The manufacture of chips needs to be processed by ultraviolet rays, commonly known as 'lithography. The construction cost of a lithography machine is hundreds of millions or even more than one billion dollars. There are only a handful of manufacturers that can make lithography machines, and most of them are in our country. Under the control of China, even if they sell the chip design, they can only rely on our lithography machine!"

Stefan was silent.

The technology of the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip has cost tens of billions of dollars from the research and development of Intel to its launch today.

There is a saying in the chip industry, which is to start with one billion and achieve results in ten years.

Investing billions of dollars to develop chips, from a market point of view, at least tens of millions of units need to be sold to pay back the cost.

And if 100 million pieces are sold, then the average R&D cost price of each chip is as high as more than 1000, which is a terrifying cost.

Their Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip is originally a national monopoly design. It is expected that in the next few years, it will have a dimensionality reduction blow to the global chip industry, selling hundreds of millions of chips, and making a fortune.However, the advent of the extremely cold era will rewrite all this.

Yoder is naturally aware of this, and said with a smile: "Ho"se. Ridge cryogenic control chip, if it is in the past, it will indeed bring you huge economic benefits."

"But now, everything is different!"

"Stefan Technical Advisor, please understand that now is the time for the survival of the great Berry Country. The country is building a Berry Country Fortress and a giant wall of wind and snow. The loss of the national treasury is quite huge!"

"At this time, Berry Country needs your help from Intel..."

Stefan's face was ashen.

The situation of their Intel is indeed a bit difficult.

The Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip is a new type of chip that Intel has high hopes for, and the investment is huge.

To ensure good operation at low temperatures, they also specially designed a scalable system-on-chip, or SoC, which simplifies the control electronics and interconnection required to scale and run large-scale quantum computing systems.And, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, they solved the fundamental challenges of building quantum systems that demonstrate quantum practicality—scalability, flexibility, and fidelity.

In terms of scalability, the integrated SoC design is implemented using 22nm FinFET low-power CMOS technology, which can integrate four RF EF channels into a single device.

With the help of "frequency division multiplexing" technology, up to 32 qubits can be controlled per channel.This technique divides the total available bandwidth into a series of non-overlapping frequency bands, each of which can carry a separate signal.

Through these four channels, Horse.Ridge enables a single device to control up to 128 qubits, drastically reducing the amount of cables and rack instruments previously required.

In terms of fidelity, the increase in the number of qubits will cause other problems related to the capacity and operation of quantum systems, especially the degradation of fidelity and performance.

To avoid this problem,

During the development of Horse-ridge, Stefan and other technical developers and engineers optimized the multiplexing technology to make the system scalable and reduce errors caused by "phase shift". When controlled at different frequencies When there are many qubits, a "phase shift" phenomenon occurs, resulting in crosstalk between qubits.

Engineers such as Stefan adjust the various frequencies used by the chip with high precision,

Enabling quantum systems to adapt and automatically correct for phase shifts when controlling multiple qubits via the same RF line improves the fidelity of qubit gates.

In order to get more powerful flexibility, Stefan and his research and development team spent hundreds of millions of dollars to enable Horse-Ridge to cover a wide frequency range, thereby controlling superconducting qubits and spin qubits.

Transmon usually runs around 6.7GHz, SpinQubits is around 1GHz.

And Intel has developed a spin qubit that can operate at a temperature of 1 Kelvin for the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip, integrating silicon spin qubit devices and HorseRidge low-temperature control components!Finally, a compact package of qubits and associated controls!

Seeing that Stefan was so entangled, Yoder gave a condition that he couldn't refuse, and said, "If my guess is right, the total R&D cost of your Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip should not exceed one billion dollars. "

"And there are three main ways to make money for you, namely, the fabless semiconductor company model, chip design plus outsourcing production plus sales; technology licensing, which only licenses but does not participate in production; and participates in standard design."

"As for this Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip, according to the original plan, in the next one or two years, it will have the advantage of reducing dimensionality and crushing other chips. It will gradually catch up, but it will still be in an absolute position within five years. Dominance."

"It is estimated that this chip can bring you more than a hundred times the profit! In the end, it may be tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions."

"But the advent of the Little Ice Age and the era of extreme cold changed everything."

"It is almost impossible for ordinary users to pay for this chip. A small number of customers may be people who build doomsday facilities, or people with rich assets who want to build a safe house for themselves, etc., but these are difficult to fill this huge vacancy."

"But now, in the name of Berry Country, we can sell the Ho"se. Ridge cryogenic control chip technology at a price of 500 billion U.S. dollars!"

"For Dragon Kingdom and Sakura Kingdom, this kind of chip that can operate under extreme cold is just needed, and they have to pay for it!"

"Five or six years, a hundred times the profit slowly returned, and more than 1000 billion quickly obtained within a few months, this deal, you all know how cost-effective it is!"

For a big factory like Intel,

Getting 500 billion directly is worth far more than slowly getting 1000 billion benefits within five years.

In the past five years, the value created through 500 billion has already multiplied many times.

Stefan didn't expect that Yoder offered such an astonishing price, which he couldn't refuse.

"Master Commander, are you sure you can sell it at this price?"

Chip design is actually not very valuable, and chip manufacturing is an astronomical figure.

Yoder showed a confident smile and said:

"For Sakura Kingdom and Dragon Kingdom, they urgently need computers that can operate in extreme cold below minus [-] degrees, and the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip you designed just hits this pain point."

"The design of this chip is not only in its advanced nature, but more importantly, it is too in line with the current needs, like a glass of water appearing in the desert before dying of thirst!"

500 billion, in Yoder's view, the Dragon Kingdom and the Cherry Blossom Kingdom must be needed if they don't want them.

August [-]nd.

Dragon Kingdom and Sakura Kingdom received messages from Berry Kingdom at the same time.

Inside the Crisis Building.

When Xu Qiu saw the message from Berry Country, he laughed and said, "Berry Country wants to sell the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip?" "500 billion, the lion opened his mouth."

Zou Botao, Lu Guangyuan and others all had smiles on their faces.

Without the nuclear power difference machine provided by Xu Qiu, Longguo might really be stuck by this thing!

Lu Guangyuan said: "In the era of extreme cold, the properties of various internal materials of electric computers may change, resulting in changes in circuit characteristics!"

"The purely mechanical nuclear energy difference engine has an absolute leading position in all aspects compared to the electric computer!"

Zou Botao was a little afraid in his heart. If there was no Xu Qiu, otherwise, at this critical juncture, another 500 billion yuan would be allocated, which would be a major blow to the construction of disaster facilities in the country.

"I don't know, what is Sakura Country's plan? Do you want to be taken advantage of?" Zou Botao said.

Xu Qiu glanced at the message from Berry Country, and closed his eyes again.

Dragon Country is always getting stuck, but from now on, they don't need to break through the technical barriers set up by Berry Country anymore.

Today, the nuclear energy difference machine owned by Longguo will shine in the extremely cold era!
