Chapter 160 The Light of the Dragon Lake Project
"All the staff of the research center have arrived at the dean, so let's talk directly if you have any decision."

Research center meeting room.

After all the researchers arrived, they only listened to the vice president Pei Hongyin's report to Xu Lei, without putting on airs because of his qualifications.

Since I chose to join the Future Science and Technology Research Center as the vice president, I will still do the work that should be done in addition to the usual project research.

"Sit down, Mr. Pei."

When Xu Lei heard Pei Hongyin's words, he quickly motioned for him to sit down beside him, and then looked at the dozens of scientific researchers below.

Many of them are acquaintances.

For example, Fu Zhengjun Wu Ziliang, who previously participated in the research and development of solid-state batteries, and Hu Xinren Wang Dawen and others.

At the same time, everyone was very excited.

As soon as the summary report was completed in the morning, Xu Lei came to the research center in person and called all the staff to attend the meeting. There must be important work arrangements, most likely a new scientific research project.

Judging from past experience, any research project decided by Xu Lei himself will inevitably bring great changes to the world.

If they can participate in it, while improving themselves, they may even be able to leave their names in history.

What's more, everyone has a sense of admiration for Xu Lei.

Especially after being praised by Fu Zhengjun, Wu Ziliang and the others, he was even more curious about Xu Lei's true level, and wanted to know how many fields he had dabbled in.

Now that he finally had an opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it.

Before Xu Lei could speak, the people under him couldn't help asking.

"Dean, are you going to study some new project?"

"Yes, Dean, if you have a new research direction, you can just say it, and we promise to complete the task."

"It must be a relatively important research project for the dean to come and announce it in person. I can't wait."

Hearing the lively voices of the people below, Xu Lei couldn't help showing a little smile on his face. He didn't expect that everyone was more impatient than him when it came to research.

Originally, many difficulties had to be overcome to manufacture a quantum computer in the true sense. Among them, even Xu Lei himself felt that it was difficult, and he did not know how long it would take to complete the first step.

Not to mention that the problems of quantum relay stations and quantum communication still need to be solved in the future.

It is basically impossible to increase the influence significantly in a short period of time.

But now feeling the atmosphere of the entire research center, Xu Lei suddenly felt that it would not be a problem to realize his plan. He believed that under his leadership, this real quantum computer would be manufactured soon.

So when he thought of this, Xu Lei didn't delay any longer, and Dang even explained the main content of this project.

"Everyone guessed well."

"This time the company is really going to open a whole new research program."

"And this project is about future development."

As Xu Lei's voice fell, one could see the expressions of excitement on the faces of many scientific researchers below.

After joining Future Technology for such a long time, everyone knows that the projects in Xu Lei's hands have never been too small, and now they are even more related to future development. Naturally, they can't wait to know.

Naturally, Xu Lei didn't deliberately whet everyone's appetite. He paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"I am going to develop a quantum computer, and after realizing this step, I will launch a personal quantum terminal device in the cloud to commercialize quantum computing and quantum communication."

If there was only excitement and anticipation in everyone's eyes just now, then after hearing these words, there was only shock left in their hearts.

They all took a breath.

"Hi~"

"It's actually a quantum computer..."

Before they joined Future Technology, they all worked in various top laboratory companies.

Some are even directly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Many people have known about the quantum computer project or participated in the corresponding research, so they naturally understand its importance and the difficulty of research and development.

According to the data released so far, the most advanced quantum computer can only operate hundreds of qubits, which cannot even be achieved by normal analysis and calculation, let alone the commercialization that Xu Lei said.

Although quantum computing will play a vital role in the development of future industry technology, everyone knows that it may take many years of research to realize it.

Think about it.

Whether it is the chip design software, the top domestic lithography machine or the metal solid-state battery, Xu Lei has not disappointed everyone.

All the research projects proposed by him have been successfully realized in the end.

Never disappoints.

At the same time, the time spent in the middle is also very short.

It is precisely because of this that everyone admires Xu Lei so much and calls him a true genius.

It is speculated that Xu Lei's brain development may be higher than that of ordinary people.

And now it is so solemnly announced that it will conduct experimental research on quantum computers, and it also said on the spot that it will be commercialized.

Apparently there is enough information for this.

Everyone's thinking kept running, and an unbelievable thought came to their minds one after another.

Is it...

Mr. Xu is really sure to create a quantum computer!
Thinking of how the people here are still holding back, they immediately asked tentatively: "Dean, could it be that you have found a research route that can truly realize quantum computing?"

Almost as soon as this sentence fell, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xu Lei.

They all want to know whether Xu Lei's answer is the same as what he guessed in his heart.

Even Pei Hongyin next to him couldn't help looking at Xu Lei.

The look of curiosity on his face was not concealed in the slightest.

Since the information of all personnel in the research center is in Xu Lei's mind, he knows that the person who asked this question at this time is named Xiao Chengyong, and his research direction is quantum communication. He also participated in the quantum satellite project at the beginning.

Before coming to the research center to hold this meeting, Xu Lei had included him as a member of the quantum computer project.

At the same time, he also understood that it is necessary to give everyone confidence at this time, so he immediately replied in a deep voice: "I have indeed found a research route for the feasibility of quantum computing."

With Xu Lei's personal confirmation, all the researchers in the audience couldn't help being excited.

Xiao Chengyong clenched his fist secretly.

Finally, he had the opportunity to turn the theory he had studied for half his life into reality, which was equivalent to satisfying his greatest wish in life, and his mood can be imagined.

Of course, many of them regretted it.

I regret that I didn't study quantum computing and quantum communication at the beginning, so that I couldn't participate in this project that can obviously shock the world.

Just as Xu Lei finished speaking, he heard another question from Yuan Zhi, who studies quantum computing.

"Excuse me, Dean, what type of quantum computer are we going to study?"

"Superconducting quantum computer."

Seeing that another core member of the project he had chosen also got up to ask about the situation, Xu Lei immediately answered him.

At this time, Pei Hongyin beside him finally stopped keeping silent.

This superconducting quantum computer project expressed its own opinion.

"At present, the laboratories of major technology companies around the world are conducting their own quantum computer research. Naturally, we cannot lag behind others. On the contrary, I think this project should be proposed earlier."

"But since the dean has confidence, then I, an old man, naturally have a good opinion of him."

It can be said that Pei Hongyin has been striving for nuclear physics research all his life, and he dreams of completely solving the energy problem for the country.

It's just that due to technical limitations, breakthrough progress has never been achieved.

But if a real quantum computer can be developed, Xingtong will have a larger and faster computing power, which can better help him carry out nuclear physics research, so he supports this project with both hands.

It is worth mentioning that after Pei Hongyin said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Lei.

There was a warm smile on his face.

"Dean."

"If my guess is correct, if you are conducting research on quantum computers and want to commercialize them, it also means targeting the carbon-based chips outside?"

"You really can't hide anything from Mr. Pei." Faced with Pei Hongyin's question, Xu Lei didn't hide his purpose, and directly admitted the matter with a smile on his face.

After all, the advantages of carbon-based chips can be eliminated, which will further stabilize China's absolute position in this field.

At least in the high-end chip market, carbon-based chips will no longer have the status.

By that time, the carbon-based chips that Sanxing and TSMC have invested so much resources and time in research and development will completely lose their value.

The dean and the deputy dean made a decision in person, so naturally there would be no problems in the middle.

After the meeting, Xu Lei also officially announced the members of the superconducting quantum computer project.

In addition to including Yuan Zhi and Xiao Chengyong, there are also Gu Sanlin, who has previously developed special polymer materials, and researchers in the field of dilution cooling refrigerator physical circuits.

The entire project team has more than a dozen core members.

There was no such battle when developing metal all-solid-state batteries.

It can be seen that Xu Lei attaches great importance to quantum computers.

Even if you have mastered all the core technical knowledge in your mind, try to get the preparations in place.

The reason for this is also to minimize sunk costs and prevent too much time from being spent on trial and error.

You must know that sometimes even if you have mastered the theoretical knowledge, you will still make a lot of mistakes if you don't have enough experience.

What's more, qubits are extremely unstable and are susceptible to interference radiation from external factors, so this research project must be carried out with a cautious and serious attitude.

Strive to manufacture this quantum computer, as well as a complete quantum algorithm and quantum operating system in the shortest possible time.

It is also worth mentioning that because this quantum computer will be built in the data center in the park, Xu Lei personally named it the Longfor Light project after the project was officially confirmed.

This will also be the name of the world's first quantum computer in the future.

And in order to appease the public's worries about the birth of carbon-based chips, after the members of the project research team discussed and confirmed, they officially announced the news that future technology will conduct quantum computing research.

As soon as this news was posted on the Internet, it attracted the attention of netizens and forces from all walks of life around the world.
