Chapter 369 Scarce Quantum Computer
( ) Back on the surface, Jiang Chen immediately found Xu Lu and explained to her his thoughts on seabed mining.
"Seabed mining?"
Xu Lu looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion. The proven minerals on this earth have basically been mined. Even if there are still undeveloped deposits in the mantle below the Moho surface or in the deep sea thousands of meters below, it is difficult to carry out due to problems such as high mining costs and serious geological environment damage.
In addition, because the appearance of space elevators has greatly reduced the cost of spaceflight, mining technology in the 22nd century has basically begun to develop in the direction of space mining. It can be said that in the 22nd century, seabed mining is a technology that has been eliminated by the times just like thermal power generation.
"That's right, the seabed mining technology is preferably automated. Can it be done?" Jiang Chen asked.
"If it can be done, it can be done. After all, those are technologies that have been eliminated... Is there a mineral deposit in the coastal area of Wanghai City?" Xu Lu was puzzled.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will make other arrangements for where to mine." Jiang Chen laughed.
Seeing what Jiang Chen said, Xu Lu nodded.
"Well, I will set up another scientific research project team to be responsible for the restoration of seabed mining technology. But now there is only one quantum computer. If I add another scientific research project team, I am afraid that it will slow down the research and development efficiency of other scientific research projects."
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. He is not in the field of scientific research, and he still doesn't quite understand the dependence of scientific research in the 22nd century on quantum computers. In fact, many people who were born after the war did not understand it very well, but Xu Lu came from before the war after all, so I still understand a little bit.
Sensitively reading the confusion on Jiang Chen's face, she explained the reason to him concisely.
The powerful functions of quantum computers can accurately simulate the physical environment at the level of quark particles, enabling many experiments to be simulated in a purely mathematical environment. In this way, it is not only convenient to eliminate the interference items in the experiment, but also can complete the physical and chemical reactions that take days to complete in reality in one second or even less. Of course, this is just one of the functions.
Hearing what Xu Lu said here, Jiang Chen finally understood why all the countries in this world are throwing money at the bottomless pit of quantum computers. Once this thing is developed, it is no exaggeration to say. The country's scientific research efficiency will increase exponentially, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is completely behind other countries.
Although many organizations or countries have boasted that they have completed the prototype of quantum computers since the beginning of the 21st century, ibm and Google are the typical examples, but their prototypes are still far from the real quantum computers. Only the quantum algorithm is used in the algorithm,
But the calculation speed can not even exceed the traditional computer.
Before there is a major breakthrough in materials science, any behavior that pretends to have developed a quantum computer is tantamount to hooliganism. It's as if it was impossible to build skyscrapers without the invention of reinforced concrete.
"Do you think a quantum computer is suitable for several scientific research groups?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice after thinking for a while.
"From experience, 10 scientific research project teams with a quantum computer is the most reasonable ... But this is obviously not realistic."
There is only one in the refuge, which is shared by 17 project teams, and a new project team will be added soon to develop seabed mining technology. This can no longer be simply described by the word crowded.
"Is there any production technology for quantum computers?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, but there is no production condition." Xu Lu said helplessly.
Think about it too.
Jiang Chen also smiled helplessly.
"Well, since the scientific research project team cannot be increased, the people on the ground can't just sit idle like this. Although it is difficult to carry out scientific research work without quantum computers, they should be able to easily handle wasteland technology recovery and data sorting. "
"Okay." Xu Lu nodded.
…
The northern suburb of Wanghai City.
A figure walked on the cracked concrete road.
The gray hood covered his face, and judging from the torn placket, he seemed to have experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
affected by the war. Bridges and other major traffic routes were basically destroyed in the bombing, and the Binjiang Bridge spanning the tributaries of the Yangtze River was even blown into several pieces, but this did not affect him.
Throwing out the hook claw with his right hand, he jumped out in an unbelievable gesture, swinging across the viaduct more than ten meters high with agility like an ape.
Both feet hit the ground heavily.
Standing still, he breathed a sigh of relief. After crossing this river, this place does not belong to the boundary of Wanghai City.
A roar of Death Claw came from a distance behind, but it quickly disappeared.
Inserting the claws back into the belt around his waist, he ripped off the hood.
"Huh, you really won't chase it out?"
this face. It was Lin Chaoen.
A holographic map appeared two inches in front of his pupils, his mechanical eyeballs shrank slightly, and his gaze moved to the west.
The density of zombies outside the jurisdiction of Wanghai City is very low, while the relative density of alien species is relatively high. However, these variants seem to be different from those in Wanghai City. Not overtly aggressive, at least not to this cyborg.
A Deathclaw wandering among the ruins for food passed by Lin Chaoen, just sniffed, and then gave up on the prey covered in metal and silicone.
Several survivors huddled in the darkness watched Lin Chaoen pass by Death Claw in horror. They couldn't figure out why Deathclaw didn't attack the man.
Electronic eyes swept over these people. Lin Chaoen ignored these poor people and walked straight towards the target direction.
The journey was very safe, except for two groups of blunt gangsters who delayed him for more than ten minutes, there was basically no trouble.
After walking west for about two hours, he finally stopped in front of a warehouse.
A man with a cigarette butt came out of the shadows, along with several soldiers carrying rifles. Judging from the logos on their clothing, they are all members of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
"You're late." The man with the cigarette butt blew out a smoke ring and said with a grin.
"There was a short delay." Lin Chaoen politely apologized.
The man glanced at the blood on his face that hadn't completely dried up, and without asking why he was late, he reached out and took off the cigarette butt.
"Then let's begin."
Lin Chaoen didn't answer, and walked past him to the door of the warehouse.
He stretched out his index finger and tapped on the circle on the warehouse door.
"Fingerprint identification?" the man with the cigarette butt asked.
"Electrical signal recognition." Lin Chaoen simply replied, and then took two steps back.
The door panel opened, revealing the contents of the warehouse.
The cigarette butt man's pupils constricted.
A whole warehouse is full of B-shaped steel. According to a rough estimate, this pile of materials is at least 1,000 tons!
"It's unbelievable, how can you be so rich." Greed flashed in the cigarette butt man's eyes.
In the sixth block, the price of 1 ton of B-shaped steel has skyrocketed to 100 sub-crystals, and this 1,000 tons of B-shaped steel can be sold for 100,000 sub-crystals!
But thinking of what the boss said, the greed in his heart gradually cooled down again.
"This is my father's property. It was purchased before the war." Looking at the cigarette butt man, Lin Chaoen didn't care about the change of expression on his face, and said in a flat tone, "According to the agreement, half of this pile of steel is at your disposal. Half, I need you to produce the parts I need according to my requirements."
After a pause, Lin Chaoen showed a very gentlemanly smile on his face.
"Of course, if I don't see something after a month, the consequences may be a little unpleasant."
This smile is cruel. (To be continued.)
