Chapter 1206

As the tail of April draws closer, two major events have taken place in the world of science and technology.

One thing is that East Asia Telecom shocked the whole North America with its $20 billion financing of Subcom.

Everyone did not expect that this giant, which once occupied more than 40% of the market share of submarine optical cable, would end up in such a way.

What's more, people didn't expect that the Federal Ministry of Commerce had approved the financing plan to let a communication enterprise with a Chinese background buy this communication enterprise belonging to the United States.

Even with loans from the Bank of America.

According to the analysis of the Wall Street Journal, due to the poor financial performance of Subcom, and the successive failures in the global submarine optical cable project, the key quantum repeater technology is far from the future, and there is no hope to defeat the competitors, which eventually led the board of directors to give up resistance in the face of the financing proposal of East Asia communication.

Although the official news is true, chairman Carter also said in an interview that the cooperation between Subcom and East Asia communication is a better choice, and the two sides can complement each other well in the field of experience and technology, which is just a business behavior, without much speculation.

However, there are still many people who have read a bit of unusual taste from the financing proposal of this nearly unequal treaty.

But in any case, it has happened.

The Federal Department of commerce did approve the proposal.

Quantum undersea fiber optic cable is advancing towards America. Eight landing stations have landed on the west coast of North America. Everything is happy

As for the other major event, xinghai-1 quantum Supercomputing Center was finally completed after more than two months of construction

……

Pilot development zone.

Next to the spacious six lane road stands a building as steep as a obelisk.

A few days ago, it was a bare steel skeleton, but now it was covered with rows of dark glass plates. Looking at it from afar, one can't imagine that it is a Supercomputing Center, more like a skyscraper, or a monument.

Just from the modeling point of view, this Supercomputing Center is indeed a little chic, so many people are wondering why star technology will eventually adopt this strange design.

However, this kind of doubt did not last for a long time in the hearts of the local people, because soon news came out that the design drawing of the Supercomputing Center was personally made by academician Lu.

Everyone was relieved to hear the news.

After all, academician Lu's taste is obvious to all.

Just like genius is always unique, it's not very wonderful, but it's a little different from ordinary people.

Build the Supercomputing Center into this shape

There doesn't seem to be any fuss.

After getting off from Lu Zhou, he followed him step by step. Director Sun of the Management Committee of the Development Zone said with a smile and no disguise of his politeness.

"In the past two months, at least 200 enterprises have settled in our park. Originally, our Investment Promotion Bureau was still worried about how to complete this year's investment promotion targets. I didn't expect that it had been completed at the beginning of the year. "

"Thanks for your support, academician Lu!"

Listen to the flattering tone, the expression on Lu Zhou's face didn't change much, just simply replied.

"Director Sun said seriously. I'm just a scholar. I can't talk about any support."

Director Sun: "ah, you are too modest!"

Lu Zhou turned the subject aside.

"When will the ribbon cutting begin?"

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem interested in listening to his flattery, director Sun quickly omitted the nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Ready! You can start at any time -- "

at this time, there seems to be a little commotion at the site of the completion ceremony not far away. I saw a female reporter in plain clothes, with a cameraman, arguing with the security guard who maintained the order of the scene.

Standing behind the boat, Wang pengmo took a silent look at the nearby building, and then there was no other action.

It was Lu Zhou, who looked at the other side with interest.

"What happened there?"

Wang Peng: "it seems to be a reporter."

A glimmer of clarity appeared on the face of the boat.

"Oh, reporter."

Because it was just in the way to the scene of the ribbon cutting ceremony, the party had to stop.

Looking at the embarrassed security guard, director Sun frowned. He had planned to have an attack, but considering that it was a public place now, he still kept restraint.

However, just as he was about to ask which unit the reporter was from, he saw that the reporter who noticed Lu Zhou suddenly had a bright eye, ignored director Sun directly, stepped forward to the front of the boat and took out the microphone to speak first.

"Hello, academician Lu. I'm a reporter from southern morning post. May I interview you?"Lu Zhou looks at director Sun next to him strangely. From the expression on his face, we can probably guess that it should be an emergency.

However, he didn't blame director Sun. After all, no one can guarantee that everything will happen in the future is within the plan. Even imcrc's collider is impossible, let alone human.

Looking at the reporter's little sister, Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Of course, as long as it's a question I can answer."

"Thank you very much for your interview!"

With a smile on her face, the reporter handed the microphone to Lu Zhou.

"Before that, we learned through investigation that Professor arick of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory said in an interview with the New York Times that until the technical bottleneck of quantum memory is solved, it is impossible to realize the quantum computing technology of more than 500 qubits simply by relying on the design of quantum logic gate."

"Academician Lu, can xinghai-1 really achieve 524 qubits of computing power? Or is there any other mystery

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou didn't open his mouth. Director Sun, who was standing next to him, was worried.

What does that mean?

Is this questioning the ability of xinghai-1 quantum Supercomputing Center?

Now all the enterprises planning to engage in intelligent manufacturing are asking about the policies of the pilot development zone, and at least half of them come from the "Jinling Institute of higher learning" model and the cloud computing service provided by the world's first quantum computer in the legend.

If this kind of report spreads out, does it mean that their development zone is colluding with star technology to deceive investors?

"Comrade reporter, what do you mean by that?"

There was no change in the expression on his face, the reporter said with a smile.

"I just have some questions, and I ask director Sun to understand."

"It's OK. It's normal to have questions."

Then Lu Zhou nodded his head, and then turned his eyes to the building like a obelisk.

“…… It's just about time for a test run. I'll show you. "

On hearing this, the reporter of the southern Morning Post's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had found some big news, and asked in a hurry.

"What are you going to demonstrate? Is it convenient to disclose it in advance? "

Lu Zhou: "it's not a problem that can't be disclosed. If you've noted the academic developments, you should know that we announced our experimental plan as early as a week ago."

Reporter: "I'm sorry, can you make it more clear?"

"It's a very simple, but representative mathematical problem," continued Lu, after a pause. "It's related to the PI that we all know."
