Is it normal for a top student with an EQ of 20 to create a chip?
Chapter 131 Why?By your mouth?
Chapter 131 Why?By your mouth? ([-]-in-[-])
The white man told Linda sitting next to him: "You have recently urged Google to speed up the implementation of quantum computers and don't let the data only exist in the laboratory."
"Any result that cannot be transformed has zero commercial value."
"We must seize the opportunity this time and firmly grasp our advantages in the field of quantum computing."
"In the chip war, we temporarily gave in to the Chinese, and we can no longer give in in the field of quantum computing."
"In the face of real quantum computers, classical computers are like China's 'bacus', which is extremely ancient. This time we must seize the opportunity."
"If quantum computing can be successfully applied, all existing encryption algorithms will be as fragile as a piece of paper." At this point, the white man smiled proudly.
"Tell the Googol team that the official will invest 20 billion Scaron coins in their project to help them conduct deeper experiments and transform their results."
"Okay. But sir, our current quantum network solution has not been determined yet. Do you think we should cooperate with the Googol team?"
The white man thought for a while and then said: "Quantum network is also an important part of the quantum field. We need to vigorously develop it. China's quantum network has been marketed. Although it has not been used on a large scale yet, the situation is too dangerous. .”
"So this time, let the Googol team and [-] other national laboratories determine the plan."
"Strive for early implementation."
After receiving the task, Linda quickly arrived at the Googol Quantum Research Laboratory for docking.
The benefits of established capitalist countries were perfectly reflected at this time. As soon as the money was received, the Googol team's research and development progress increased instantly.
Two months later, the Scaron Quantum Network "Quantum Ring" plan was implemented, and they established a 5-mile-long national quantum network in Chicago.
For a time, under the promotion of Skaron media, declarations of quantum supremacy could be seen everywhere on the Internet, and ordinary people began to get excited.
"I said we can definitely do it! The number one technological power on Blue Star can only be us!"
"We believe that the Quantum Ring Project will definitely surpass China!"
"The quantum aspect still depends on us. Do the Chinese really think their quantum technology is great?"
"Tell those Chinese people that as soon as we develop the quantum network, nothing will happen to you!"
"I don't know about the others. Anyway, China's technological level has always been average. They just came up with quantum results first. To be practical, it has to be ours."
"Technology requires a social and economic foundation to develop. If you look at the lack of movement in China's quantum network, you will know that no one is using it! I can guarantee that their quantum network industry will soon decline. .”
"Indeed, there was a lot of commotion before, why is there no sound now? Isn't that Pilot Technology and Lingxi Communication collapsed?"
When Wang Ye saw these words on the Internet, he was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "There's something really wrong with these foreigners, right? Do you feel uncomfortable if we don't step on us for a day?"
"Isn't it good that everyone has his or her own development? We have to compare ourselves."
Luo Yao put down the report in his hand and said slowly: "There is a kind of person who is accustomed to suppressing and belittling others to gain satisfaction. Psychologically speaking, this kind of person is the first because his self-esteem system has not been established, so he needs to constantly attack and belittle others. Others come to let others see them and recognize them.”
"Second, it's because out of jealousy, once they gain the upper hand, they will eagerly announce it to gain public attention."
"Third, through constant suppression, they want to weaken our psychological defenses and keep us bowing our heads, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling us."
"So, they are used to doing this for a purpose, not just to show off their rhetoric."
Wang Ye suddenly realized it and became even more angry: "You really treat us like little people, and you still want to control us through these means. It's a beautiful idea."
"Our quantum communication is obviously only open to special companies and institutions, so it has been very low-key recently. But this can be said! The stubborn foreigners really have no good intentions!"
Wu Tianming said worriedly at the side: "I think it doesn't matter if we are scolded. We are just afraid that our people will believe those people's lies and have doubts about the quantum industry."
"You also know that Scarron will never be merciful to his enemies, and they will do anything to compete."
"If they continue to lead the public to doubt our quantum industry, I believe that soon our people will also become suspicious."
Luo Yao certainly understands what Wu Tianming means. The current market-based quantum technology is not widely used, which is why outsiders think the entire industry is in a downturn.
"This matter has been officially arranged, so we don't need to worry. What I'm worried about now is whether various pharmaceutical groups can accept the calculation results of quantum computers."
When Wu Tianming mentioned this matter, he had something to say: "We can only talk about it after the meeting is over. I have confirmed what you arranged last night. My dad will personally bring people to the meeting. My dad doesn't know what is so important. , I didn’t want to come at first, I thought it was a waste of time, but later it seemed that Chairman Shan called him and he wanted to come.”
"That's normal. Your dad is also the chairman after all. It's really not appropriate for our small company to invite him to come in person." Wang Ye looked understanding, as if he had expected this incident.
"But this can only be done if they come in person. We don't have that many things to do, and we asked them to go back and discuss it. I want the answer today."
It turned out that after two months of calculations by the quantum computer, the results finally came out yesterday. Although the results came out, it was useless for Luo Yao and the others to hold the results. They could only find people who studied AOH1996 from major pharmaceutical groups. The results are given to them to study.
Luo Yao guessed that those people would never easily believe the results calculated by the quantum computer, so he made preparations.
Soon, it's time for a meeting.
The invited CEOs of pharmaceutical groups all walked into the conference room of Linghang Technology.
After all the bosses were done, Shan Xing came in with Luo Yao and others.
"Tianming? Why are you here?" Wu Tianming's father, Wu Yong, saw him following Luo Yao and called out to him.
This meeting was officially organized, with a very high standard, and the participants were all CEO-level figures.
That's why Wu Yong is surprised, what is this boy of his doing here?
"Dad, let's have a meeting. Let's talk later." Wu Tianming had the support of Shan Xing and Luo Yao, and it was rare for Wu Tianming to stand up in front of his father.
His father didn't know what tricks he was playing, so he could only look at him suspiciously.
Shan Xing raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I am here for an important matter."
"Before this, everyone needs to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that today's events will not be spread. Otherwise, you will be held responsible."
Several bosses looked at each other, why should they keep this meeting a secret?
The content of this meeting was so explosive that they were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Wu Yong looked at Wu Tianming's understanding look, and couldn't help but secretly cursed this little brat for not revealing the contents of the meeting to him in advance.
If you don't sign the contract, you won't be able to attend the following meetings. The bosses have no choice but to sign the agreement.
Shan Xing collected the agreement and checked it carefully before saying, "Then let's get down to business."
"Xiao Li, please send the information to all the bosses."
Xiao Li, who was called, quickly distributed the printouts that he had prepared long ago to the bosses. After making sure that every boss had received the documents, Shan Xing said, "I asked you to get some of the research and development of your inhibitors before. Data, currently, we have calculated the results through quantum computers, and through this results, we have obtained the structural formula and molecular formula of the inhibitor."
"The molecular formula is C26H22N2O4, and the structural formula is..." "The specifications of each active ingredient are..."
"The current conclusion is that we can add a methoxy group to the meta-position of the terminal benzene ring of AOH1160 to enhance the interaction between PCNA and RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, to achieve selectivity. to kill cancer cells."
"These contents are recorded in detail in the information. The bosses can take a look at it before communicating with us."
Of course, someone who can be the boss of a pharmaceutical group cannot even understand molecular formulas. After hearing Shan Xing's words, they were all shocked and looked at the information in their hands.
You must know that the difficulty in developing AOH1996 is not how to imitate it, but how to bypass the other party's patent to achieve the same therapeutic effect.
They remembered that they only gave Shanxing some data. How come they suddenly had the molecular formula of the finished product?
The bewildered bosses opened the information. It didn't matter. They were quickly attracted by the content inside.
"President Shan, you have to know that the molecular formula you gave is quite different from AOH1996. We have been researching for several years but have not developed something. You said you found it in more than two months?"
"President, are you kidding me?"
"Although I haven't been in a front-line research team for a long time, drug research and development is different from others. Changing an ingredient and content will lead to tens of thousands of possibilities."
"President, we can't be too hasty about this!"
"President, I know you are very anxious, but there is really no need to rush the development of drugs."
"You just say this thing is an AOH1996 inhibitor? Why? Just based on your words?"
The most taboo thing for insiders is for outsiders to interfere in their affairs. Even if they intervene in key matters, it is still outrageous. This is considered extremely disrespectful by some bosses, and they can't help but be rude when they speak.
Luo Yao didn't wait for Shan Xing to speak, and spoke directly: "Everyone, I know everyone is in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet."
"Pharmaceutical research and development involves human life, and we all know that."
"But the key point now is that we have built a quantum computer."
A boss vaguely remembered Luo Yao, and he said doubtfully: "Mr. Luo, the quantum computer you said is very powerful? Can it develop new drugs in about two months?"
"This is impossible. I remember that there are quantum computers abroad, but their quantum computers can obviously only calculate certain problems."
"Quantum computers currently used in medical treatment have not achieved obvious results yet, so you say that you used this quantum computer to find a new molecular formula for inhibitors. It is difficult for us to believe it."
"This is simply a fantasy!"
"It's more than just a fantasy, it's simply a science fiction plot." Someone sneered.
"Foreign? Quantum computers with only 60 qubits are not worthy of comparison with ours."
Luo Yao said something subconsciously, which immediately made the bosses present have different expressions.
yo!
Although this Luo Yao has developed some achievements, it can be seen that the other party is really young and energetic.
A 60-qubit quantum computer is already considered the highest achievement at present. Could it be that Luo Yao has developed a stronger one?
They wanted to see what Luo Yao wanted to say.
"I know you don't believe it because you don't understand the working mode of quantum computers and how powerful our newly developed quantum computers are."
"Generally when you use classical computers to perform chemical simulations, you use the enumeration method."
"Using a maze as an analogy, in order to find a way out, a classical computer will try one after another until it gets out."
"But it's different in a quantum computer. It will send all quanta to find the exit at the same time. According to the characteristics of quantum, when a quantum finds the exit, this information will be carried on all quanta."
"So, this is why our research and development speed is so fast."
Wu Yong frowned after understanding and said, "There is nothing wrong with your theory, but why is there never such a precedent abroad?"
Wu Yong's generation is accustomed to crossing the river by feeling for the stones. Their stones are foreign pharmaceutical companies. If foreign pharmaceutical companies don't use the technology first and they use it first, they always feel uneasy.
Abroad again.
Luo Yao frowned slightly. It seemed that the thinking logic of the Chinese people who wanted to change could not be reversed overnight.
There are less than 100 quantum computers abroad, how can it be compared with what they have developed?
Isn't this a joke?
He felt that there was no point in explaining more and just went straight to the results.
"Time is running out now. Since everyone has questions, we might as well test it directly." This was something Luo Yao had arranged a long time ago. He actually knew that these bosses would not easily believe what he said.
"I hope that various groups can make inhibitors based on the key points in the data and conduct experiments on mice."
Although this is a solution, the bosses have not spoken out.
Make inhibitors?
That's equivalent to asking them to invest a team to create inhibitors for nothing. Isn't this cost-effective?
Luo Yao is just a quantum expert, not a medical and biological expert.
Who knows what it was made of.
So no one spoke.
Until Bi Xu, the boss of Shengxu Group, spoke.
"Since Mr. Luo is so confident, let's do it."
A relative in Bi Xu's family happened to be diagnosed with cancer, which is why Shengxu Group started researching AOH1996 inhibitors.
For more than a year, their research and development progress has been very slow, which made Bi Xu anxious.
If the inhibitor is not developed, his relatives will soon be taken away by the disease.
Under this situation, Luo Yao actually came up with a set of research and development materials. He could only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.
If it happens, there is really hope.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether the quantum computer is real or not, as long as the information provided by the other party works.
"I asked, do any of you want to join us?"
The bosses who were looked at by Bi Xu all avoided his eyes.
Join together?They just want to leave the meeting now okay!
A quantum guy suddenly stepped in to do medicine.
Does this sound like a word? !
Ps will be updated tomorrow~
