Chapter 262 Shortcuts

“Isn’t there any way to bypass the lithography machine when making chips?” Li Mo wondered Asked, he used Moxing batteries to bypass the technical barriers of fuel engines that he spent hundreds of years building abroad. Perhaps the same shortcut exists in the chip industry.

Mr. Ren smiled wryly and looked at the head, “Electronic computer technology is extremely mature. If you want to overthrow and rebuild, easier said than done.”

Here, he paused, frowned said: ” There is one way, and that is to develop quantum computers. But now the development of the quantum field is very slow, and it is still in the theoretical stage.”

Quantum computers will be a substitute for electronic computers. Li Mo does not believe in this view. Surprised.

Modern electronic computers use binary, that is, 1, 0, in processing information. The smallest unit of a computer is a bit. Because the computer is binary, this bit is either 1 or 0. , no other options exist.

In quantum computers, any microscopic particle and quantum are in a superposition of multiple states before they are observed, which means that microscopic particles and quantum cannot be determined until they are not observed. Then in the information processing of the computer, the existence of the bit as a quantum cannot be determined before it is observed, that is to say, the bit may be 1, 0, or both 1 and 0 before it is observed. .

Assuming a memory of N physical bits, if it is an electronic computer memory, it can only store any one of 2^N possible data, and if it is a quantum computer memory, it can store at the same time. 2^N number, and as N increases, its ability to store information will increase exponentially.

All in all, the computing power of quantum computers is much more powerful than that of electronic computers.

But why such excellent computers have not been put into commercial use on a large scale, the main reason is that humans have not found suitable “particles” as the “computing core” of quantum chips.

Large-scale scientific research laboratories at home and abroad have been trying to manufacture quantum computers many years ago, but so far, only a few have come up with “semifinished products”, such as at CES in 2019, IBM announced the launch of the world’s first quantum computer, the IBM Q System One, but the reality is that this “quantum computer” is the size of an elephant, and its computing power is not as good as a netbook.

Some media ruthless pointed out that quantum computing systems like Q System One are still experimental. When it comes to real-life computing, your laptop is probably more powerful.

So Mr. Ren has no confidence in quantum computer research.

“Stop talking about this, do you have any new goals in your lab?” He saw Li Mo pondered and asked proactively.

Li Mo smiled slightly: “I didn’t have it before, but now I have it.”

Just now, Li Mo divine light flashed, thought of a solution to “quantum computing core” Method.

“What is it?” Mr. Ren asked eagerly.

“Confidentiality!” Li Mo replied, his idea is only an idea, and it needs to be verified by theory.

Mr. Ren, who was rejected by him, did not show any anger, because he knew that the youngster in front of him was full of too many fantastic ideas. It would have been great if he insisted on taking a stake in Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory. Ren always felt that this was his biggest mistake in the business field over the years.

“Mr. Ren, I still have things to do, so I won’t stop there.”

With a new goal, Li Mo didn’t stop for a moment and went straight to the laboratory . He wants to verify his thoughts through mathematical calculations.

“Boss, you’re back.” Zhang Xiaoli was tidying up the office and greeted him when she saw him coming back.

“Well, notify the official members of the laboratory and come to my office for a brief meeting.” Li Mo sat in the chair and took a sip of tea.

Before “retreat”, he needs to arrange the work content of the laboratory.

After a while, Jingjing, the trio of bags under the eyes, Zhou Da Senior Brother Fang, and two new experimenters, Wang Xiaochuan and Liu Lei, came to the office one after another.

“Boss, do you have a new project?” Jingjing asked eagerly when she stepped into the office. Moxing batteries have been mass-produced, but she has been idle.

Li Mo shook the head, he didn’t want anyone to know his plans until the mathematical calculations were verified.

Quiet’s face paled.

Everyone has arrived, Li Mo said: “Let’s start to arrange the tasks for the next period of time.”

“Quiet, Liu Mingrui, Liu Hao, Liu Xuanchen, are you here? In the next period of time, the secondary optimization of the Moxing battery will be carried out.”

Li Mo has a question that has never been understood. But the difference is so big. He once tested that the alien battery has only half of the energy storage space intact, but it can store 300kWh of electricity. The current production of the same volume of Moxing batteries can only store 200KWh of electricity.

“Are we still to optimize? Our batteries are already far superior to ordinary batteries.” Liu Mingrui raised his hand and asked. Before the mass production of Moxing batteries, they had already carried out an optimization. And in his view, in the absence of competitors, continuous optimization is a waste of resources.

“Although the current Moxing battery is enough for cars, trucks, excavators, and even heavy mining machinery, what if I want it to be installed on a rocket?” An alien technology product, Li Mo felt unwilling if it could not exert its full strength.

“Rocket?” The trio’s eyes widened, “Boss wants to make a rocket?”

“Metaphor!” Li Mo was also helpless to this kind of mechanical idiot. “Just a metaphor, do you know?”

“In short, I think Moxing Battery still has huge potential that has not been tapped!”

The trio of bags under the eyes nodded and accepted the task.

“Zhou Dafang, Wang Xiaochuan and Liu Lei, your mission is to study the quantum algorithms that are currently appearing in the world.” Li Mo continued, Wang Xiaochuan graduated from Princeton Mathematics Academician, and Liu Lei is Columbia University Informatics After Academician, they were all recruited by Li Mo through Yanda University.

“Quantum algorithm?” Zhou Dafang hesitated for a moment. He is just a math dog. If he is proficient in computer programming, he has already entered those big Internet companies. Would he still use it in the mathematics department for so many years? But he is still nodded, accustomed to obeying orders.

Liu Lei has a look of joy on his face. He has been “in a daze” for half a month in the laboratory, eating customized recipes every day and having a dedicated fitness coach. People who didn’t know the truth thought he was in a sanatorium, but now it’s finally time for him to show his skills.

Wang Xiaochuan, like Zhou Dafang, looked confused.

“I ask you to focus on the algorithm, not the syntax.” Li Mo warned repeatedly, the reason why he arranged for two mathematicians to study quantum algorithms is that the essence of the computer program is Programming algorithm ideas, not syntax. The foundation of algorithmic thinking is mathematics.

“Okay, everyone.” Li Mo likes to have short meetings.

“Zhou Dafang, what else do you have to do?”

Just as everyone was about to leave, Zhou Dafang slowly raised his hand again.

“Boss, thank you!” Zhou Dafang bowed deeply to Li Mo.

Jingjing next to him was stunned, didn’t expect a nerd who always seemed to be honest, and he was so good at flattery.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?” Li Mo asked suspiciously. In his impression, he didn’t do anything special for this Senior Brother.

“Thank you for the special bonus.” Zhou Dafang’s eyes were wet, “I used the bonus and years of savings to buy a house in a real estate in Yanjiao, and my girlfriend who has been in love for many years finally decided to marry me. .”

It turned out to be for the bonus, after developing the Moxing battery, Li Mo decided to award a special bonus of 1 million to each member of the laboratory. At that time, Xia Qing believed that Zhou Dafang, as a candidate mathematician, did not play a particularly important role in the research process, and the bonus should be halved. But at Li Mo’s request, Zhou Dafang still got the full bonus of 1 million.

“I’m well-deserved for this 1 million bonus.” Zhou Dafang sobbed, “But I need this money very much, my girlfriend and I have been in love for ten years, but my mother-in-law asks that I don’t have a house. Get married.”

“But how can I buy a house in Yanjing with my meager allowance.”

“I use the bonus of 1 million plus years of After saving, I finally made a down payment at the 8th ring.”

Outside the 8th ring? Li Mo asked suspiciously: “How much is the house?”

“3.1 million.” Zhou Dafang quietly handed over the tissue, wiping away his tears.

“How much is the down payment?” Li Mo asked.

“30%.” Zhou Dafang replied.

The house price of 3.1 million, 30% of the down payment, that is 1.03 million, Zhou Dafang’s savings for many years is only 30,000?

“Your savings over the years is only 30,000?” Li Mo asked in disbelief.

Zhou Dafang shook the head and corrected: “It’s 30,600, and now I have 6,000 on my body.”

Li Mo helplessly shook the head, learning Computers can do programming part-time, make a blockbuster program, and maybe become the next Bill Gates. Those who study chemistry can go to research institutes to be experimental dogs, and they can also make a living. Only those who study mathematics can only wait for a dead salary.
