Chapter 140 The Second Generation Quantum Computer

The [Tower of Babel] project has had a considerable impact on the People’s Federation.

Although the construction sequence of the space elevator is from top to bottom, the engineering team building the foundation has already gone to the predetermined location in advance.

In order to save time, various engineering consumables are deployed nearby.

Although the People's League was established only two weeks ago, with everyone's concerted efforts (strong military pressure), the barriers between countries quickly disappeared.

Just as the engineering team was setting off, a piece of good news came from the computer sub-laboratory of the People's Federation's First Laboratory (formerly the Xia Kingdom's First Laboratory).

"Um?"

"The second generation quantum computer has been successfully developed?!"

Lu Yongchang suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Mo Zeyang in front of him with burning eyes: "How is the effect? ​​How much computing power does it have?"

Because of his excitement, he asked a series of questions at once.

Because of the existence of zero, computer technology has become the top priority for the development of the People's Federation.

It can be said that the limit of computing power is the limit of productivity of the People's Federation.

As long as the computing power is large enough, Zero can control trillions of robots to perform construction and production tasks at the same time!

Seeing Lu Yongchang's excited look, Mo Zeyang chuckled and reached out to count.

"Fifty thousand qubits?" Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed with disappointment, "Is it only an increase of five times?"

"What a pity..."

"But it's a good thing, keep up the good work."

Mo Zeyang looked at Lu Yongchang, who looked disappointed, with a strange look on his face: "Ahem... I'm talking about half a million qubits."

The moment the words fell, Lu Yongchang's body suddenly froze.

His eyes widened slightly and he looked at Mo Zeyang in disbelief: "Half a million? Are you sure it's half a million qubits?!"

Seeing Mo Zeyang nod, Lu Yongchang's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He excitedly put his hands behind his back, circling back and forth in the office, mumbling to himself.

"Fifty times!"

“It turned out to be a fifty-fold increase in computing power!”

Suddenly, Lu Yongchang stopped in his tracks and turned around suddenly: "Has Zero been tested?"

After all, this quantum computer was made for Zero.

The most important thing is of course zero "living experience".

"Professor, the second generation quantum computer is very good." Zero's electronic synthesized voice sounded just right.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth, he nodded slightly, turned to Mo Zeyang and said.

"In that case, prepare to move Zero!"



Inside the Quantum Supercomputing Center.

The second generation of quantum computers has been manufactured.

Compared with the first generation, the second generation quantum computer occupies a larger space. For this reason, the original quantum supercomputing center was forced to undergo transformation.

Lu Yongchang stood in front of the main console and turned to look to the left.

Behind the glass curtain wall is the first generation quantum computer.

Looking at the blinking indicator lights on the quantum computer, Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice: "Zero, get ready to start."

"receive."

Zero's tone was calm: "All control signals are being cut off..."

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents during the "moving" process, Zero cut off the control signals of all robots and robotic arms in the factory.

Various computing tasks in the laboratory have also been archived and suspended.

"Control signal cut off successfully!"

"Transferring main program!"

"1%..."

The progress bar starts reading.

Looking at the slowly advancing progress bar on the big screen, Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed with excitement.

Half a million qubits!

Fifty times the computing power!

He even had trouble figuring out where to use all the computing power!

Just like an ordinary person who buys a lottery ticket and wins the jackpot, he doesn’t know what to buy for a while!

The waiting time was not long. After about ten minutes, various indicator lights on the second-generation quantum computer lit up one after another.

Zero's voice also sounded.

"Main program transfer completed."

"Algorithm optimization in progress..."

Just like when Zero was activated for the first time, after entering a new environment, the first thing Zero did was to transform the environment in which he "lived".

"Optimization completed!"

Lu Yongchang's expression perked up, he happily looked at the camera beside him and said, "How is it?"

"How's the situation? What's the actual performance increase?"

Zero didn't reply immediately.

But the CPU usage on the main console continues to soar.

Clearly, it's testing its limits.

A few seconds later.

"Professor, after the algorithm is improved, the actual performance increase can reach about 60 times."

Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows sharply.

60x performance increase.

This is not a small number!

He took a deep breath and calmed down his inner agitation.

"Zero, can you now be in charge of the space elevator construction project?"

When asked this question, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but hold his breath.

Human efficiency is too slow.

Even Xia Guo, who is known as the infrastructure madman, seems somewhat powerless when faced with such a majestic project that spans the world.

The CPU usage increased again.

This time, Zero's silence lasted a little longer.

About five minutes later, the electronic synthesized sound sounded again.

"Okay, Professor."

"The current performance of robotic arms and robots is sufficient to complete most of the construction tasks of space elevators."

Lu Yongchang was perked up after hearing the answer!

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Perhaps because he had already calculated all the questions during the calculation just now, Zero answered very quickly this time.

"If all the computing power is put into it, more than 90% of the construction tasks can be completed in about one year."

"Of course, this needs to be based on a breakthrough in cable technology."

Lu Yongchang's expression froze.

Well, I have to admit that he has not yet completed the most important technical reserve of the space elevator.

He has not yet solved the problem of materials for making cables.

"Ahem!" Lu Yongchang coughed a few times awkwardly and changed the topic, "What if the laboratory and other manufacturing tasks are ensured?"

Obviously, Ling didn't understand Lu Yongchang's embarrassing mood just now, and just said to himself: "It will take about 3-5 years."

Lu Yongchang was suddenly startled.

"So long?!"

"And... why is the time span so big?"

3-5 years.

This estimated time span reaches a full two years!

"In the past year, the laboratory's computing tasks have increased dozens of times. If we follow the current growth rate and the performance remains unchanged, it will take me about three years to complete the space elevator construction task."

"However, according to my observations and calculations, the growth rate of computing tasks in the laboratory is constantly increasing."

"Coupled with the manufacturing tasks of the Xuannv series aerospace aircraft and other manufacturing tasks, five years is already a conservative estimate."

Zero said calmly.

Lu Yongchang's face suddenly turned ugly.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still struggling with how to spend this 50-fold increase in computing power.
Chapter completed!
