Voyage of the Stars

Time flies.

In five years, the humans who came to the Wolf 1061 star system completed the construction of all resource collection bases. Today, Wolf C-1 is lined with factories, the lights are bright, countless robots are running around on it, and countless instruments are on it. Various operations are in full swing.

Human beings use technology to make this planet that has been quiet for billions of years lively.

The main body of the mobile space dock in satellite orbit has been completed, and the orbital mass accelerator on the ground is still projecting large amounts of resources into space day and night.

The endless flow of transport ships is like hard-working bees, busy and orderly filling the entire space orbit.

The resource transfer platform, which has been completed for a long time, continues to transport materials from the Wolf C-1 satellite to the Wolf 1601 c orbit and into the cylindrical space station built there in the style of Hope.

Intensive supply transport ships shuttle back and forth between various sites. From a distance, it looks like a magpie bridge spanning the Milky Way.

Five years is the first node, and it is also the time when human productivity takes off again.

Because at this node, humans have perfectly solved the problem of quantum computer calculations being easily affected by noise and errors, solved the problem of quantum error correction, and then successfully realized a universal quantum computer.

The so-called universal quantum computer, as the name suggests, is a computer that can do everything like a traditional computer, rather than the kind of computer that can only do specific things at the beginning of the study of quantum computers.

The realization of a universal quantum computer is not a miracle, but an inevitable result of the accumulation of human technology. After all, humans have successfully mastered a number of quantum application technologies as early as the 21st century, the most typical of which is quantum secure communication.

It is worth mentioning that this universal quantum computer for humans is not a semi-finished product or an early experimental product, but a mature version.

Since humans already have AIs like the ‘Light of the Galaxy’ on traditional computers, and they have been transformed into superconducting computers, humans do not lack computing power in a short period of time. In this case, the team working on a universal quantum computer is not in a hurry to come up with a semi-finished product, but waits until the product is fully mature.

The realization of universal quantum computers means that humans have taken a big step forward in the field of computers. Based on quantum computers, human central computers will be updated again, and new artificial intelligence will become smarter, more flexible, and more intelligent .

It is foreseeable that in the coming time, humans will produce new robots and assign new artificial intelligence to the programs of each robot, allowing them to contribute to human development.

Many tasks that previously required human participation will be replaced by new robots.

This means that humans will be able to free up a lot of manpower to specialize in tasks such as scientific research that must be completed by humans. At the same time, the addition of more and smarter robots will also increase the speed of human construction and manufacturing, and further alleviate the population shortage problem.

Just like a new battleship that originally took ten years to build, after the new artificial intelligence comes online, it can be completed in only five or even three years. The construction period of the residential spacecraft will also be greatly shortened.

It can be said that the emergence of universal quantum computers is like pressing the accelerator button for human development and construction, instantly amplifying human industrial power more than a hundred times.

The already large team of various robots will expand again. It is foreseeable that in the next few years, robots will be everywhere on the Wolf C-1 planet.

Bolstered by the concept of destructive mining, these various types of robots will sweep across the entire planet like locusts, and then bring larger and richer supplies to mankind.

Universal quantum computers will not only accelerate industrial construction but also catalyze the development of science and technology in various fields.

Not to mention, it is just like the miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor that humans are currently researching.

In order to verify various models, when there was no universal quantum computer before, it might take months or even years to use a traditional computer to verify whether a model algorithm had loopholes or whether it was feasible. But with a universal quantum computer, such verification calculations can produce results in just a few seconds or even less than a second.

It is obvious that the research pace of miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors will enter the fast lane under the catalysis of universal quantum computers.

The same goes for other associated technologies.

So, why are quantum computers so much faster than traditional electronic computers?

The reason lies in its principle.

For the same number of bits n, the information capacity that qubits can represent is 2 to the nth power of electronic bits. In terms of running speed, quantum computing can greatly improve its computing speed by virtue of its quantum entanglement characteristics.

To give a simple example, now we need to calculate the addition of ten numbers by one. The traditional computer method requires one number to be added one by one, but the quantum computer is different. It only needs to add one number to one of the numbers. action, the remaining nine numbers will be automatically updated due to quantum entanglement.

Quantum entanglement is completed instantly, so quantum computers are naturally faster than traditional electronic computers.

As for the reason why artificial intelligence based on quantum computers is smarter than traditional artificial intelligence, many people actually know it.

That’s because the algorithm of a quantum computer is closer to ‘intelligence’.

In other words, the human brain operates at the quantum level, or human thinking is generated by the operating mechanism at the quantum level. As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. If humans want to create smarter artificial intelligence by simulating their own brain thinking, they can only use quantum computers.

Now, humans can see that the way to achieve strong artificial intelligence is a universal quantum computer.

Later, the new spacesuits were also replaced with new AI systems.

It can be said that the emergence of universal quantum computers is a matter of sharpening the knife and chopping firewood. The new government predicts that mankind’s previous construction plans are likely to be completed ahead of schedule.

Of course, this does not mean that after having a universal quantum computer, humans will give up research on traditional computers, but it will not be a priority development for the time being.

Yes, from the perspective of humans, traditional electronic computers have not come to an end. Human beings do not want to give up any branch of science.

Every science has many branches. For example, the current human central computer "Light of the Milky Way" is a superconducting electronic computer with a traditional structure. In the field of electronic computers, further exploration can be done, such as the electronic computer mentioned before. Spin-property computers, or even electronic computers that exploit the incompatibility of electrons and their spin properties, only exist in the wild imagination of a certain scientist.

The same is true for universal quantum computers. Currently, humans use photons as qubits. In addition, there are other branches of quantum computers that can be taken, such as topological quantum computers and electromagnetic field-controlled ionization well quantum computers.

Depending on which particle is chosen as a qubit, it will be possible to develop different quantum computers.

All elementary particles have quantum properties.

One can imagine how complicated the refinement of scientific branches is.
