Chapter 196 Quantum Chip and Genius (4K)
Why reach the top of the clouds if you don’t aim high? With a mind as far away as the sea, you can see the nine heavens.
After Boss Gu ambitiously finished feeding the pigs with other workers, he sneaked away to the back mountain with the baby of a certain sow.
At noon that day, the Gu family’s family banquet added a delicacy - roast suckling pig.
"For our family, the whole roasted suckling pig is too wasteful." Gu Yingchao was used to saving and said more.
Gu's mother immediately slapped her old man in the face: "My baby is still eating a long meal, so many pigs are not eating, can I keep him as a pet for you?"
Because swine fever is still prevalent, so this year the Gu family I still spend the Spring Festival on my own pig farm.
I neither went to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, nor did I politely refuse the younger generations to come to pay New Year's greetings, so the atmosphere at home became much more deserted.
But ever since the baby came back, the old couple has been smiling.
I have grown taller and stronger, and even my white hair has almost disappeared.
Liu Qingqing looked at her child, and the more she looked at her, the more comfortable she felt.
The young man's neatly cropped hair makes him look very energetic, and his nose is high and straight. He looks like he was carved from the same mold as the grandfather he remembered.
“My baby is getting more and more handsome, are you making friends?”
“Mom, I have only graduated a few years ago. Let’s wait until I have a successful career before we talk about this. Let’s talk about fate. This kind of thing cannot be rushed."
Gu Qing put a piece of roasted suckling pig skin on his mother to get through this.
At the end of the year, everyone has to face their own difficulties from various perspectives.
I spent a Golden Year of the Pig on a pig farm and ate all kinds of pig-related foods such as roasted suckling pig, braised pork, bacon, and sausages.
Due to good absorption and growth, Boss Gu gained five pounds in just one week.
As the year of the Golden Pig, 2019 is destined to be a legendary year from the beginning of the New Year.
A controversial figure said: This year will be a very difficult year, and "a wall" is needed on the southern border of the United States.
After the Spring Festival, An Hetang and others also returned to the company early. After checking in and reporting, they set off to pick up Boss Gu's hometown.
Five off-road vehicles, with piles and piles of New Year's goods loaded on the back seats and roofs.
The heavy sausages and bacon are also the heavy love of parents.
That night, the four major employee canteens and employee family canteens in Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park all had free dishes and soups, including cured pork ribs stewed with potatoes and fried bacon with green peppers.
If general ingredients want to enter the major kitchens of Jiuzhou Technology, Chef Zhang has to check various quarantine and food certification certificates.
But this time, Boss Gu’s three-no products were flowing smoothly.
Chef Zhang also said: "This bacon is really delicious!"
Gu Qing didn't believe what the cook said since he was eating and drinking heavily during the New Year.
After eating and drinking, Boss Gu started the first round of "inspection homework" of the new year.
The semiconductor department, the Titanstar Machinery R&D team and the software engineering department all have the same Spring Festival homework, which is to do handicrafts or math problems.
However, after reading the details of the assignment, they all unanimously chose to be "question writers".
Whose figure has a homemade CPU?
It’s not that they can’t do this job, but it’s a detailed job, from the underlying language to the instruction set, and there are countless welding jobs. It can be done for a long time, and the Spring Festival holiday is only one week. , simply not enough.
In comparison, doing the questions is simply a reward.
Looking through a few homework assignments, Gu Qing looked at everyone and said with a smile: "How about it, you are pretty bald after doing the questions, right?"
Zhang Tianhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, while Li You frowned and said nothing.
The former is just a graduate student who has just graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, and the latter is just a college student with a "backward knowledge system" who has been struggling in society for many years.
It’s okay to do ordinary advanced mathematics, but it’s really uncomfortable to do a lot of quantum mechanics questions.
“Okay, this question is not asked casually. I have talked about quantum mechanics and related materials before, but I didn’t give you too much homework, so I just let you recall and consolidate it.
< br>Now that domestic chips are on the right track, our company also needs a second development line to compete for the future market, so quantum chips are the top priority
Zhang Tianhao will memorize the difference between quantum chips and ordinary digital integrated circuit chips, and briefly express your views on the operation logic of the two. "
Gu Qing pointed his finger and named Zhang, a classmate who had suddenly become rich.
Zhang Tianhao was once a bully in elementary school, so he could answer such simple questions easily.
" Quantum chips perform quantum calculations, while silicon-based digital integrated circuit chips perform digital calculations.
For example, for a function f(x), we need to bring in 100 x values and obtain 100 results. How many times do we need to calculate it?
In normal calculation logic, the answer is simple, count 100 times, and count once with the x value.
But in quantum computing, it only needs to be calculated once.
Since in the quantum computing process, the computing unit is a qubit composed of quantum states, so all x values are quantized, and 100 x values can be superimposed into a mixed state and brought into the quantum chip After calculating once, you can get a mixed state of 100 results, and then after corresponding measurements, you can find the result corresponding to the x value.
From the perspective of scientific development, silicon-based chips are about to reach their peak, while quantum chips have just begun. Moreover, quantum chips can superpose quantum states on a large number of initial values, enhancing computing efficiency. "
After Zhang Tianhao finished answering, he looked at Gu Qing, with an expression that even meant that some students wanted to be praised for answering the questions.
Boss Gu nodded slightly and said: "This answer is very common, but not profound.
When the current traditional silicon-based electronic chip integrated manufacturing precision is as small as atomic size, the natural principles it relies on have changed from the macroscopic world When you reach the microscopic world, you will inevitably approach the critical point of classical macrophysics, that is, from Newton's classical mechanics to Einstein's microphysical world.
From the last century to the present, the development of the traditional chip industry has indeed been rapid. Strictly abide by " Moore's Law.
But since 13 years later, the time required for the doubling of the transistor density has become longer and longer. As transistor circuits gradually approach the performance limit, this law will eventually come to an end. The end.
As the level of integration continues to increase, the speed continues to increase. Today's high-performance computers and smart phones are constantly introducing more advanced chip processes, and the process accuracy is gradually reduced from tens of nanometers to 7 nanometers. Nano.
The Kirin 980 equipped by Xia Wei last year's Mate20 was manufactured using TSMC's 7nm process, with a maximum frequency of up to 2.6GHz.
But I can conclude that the next generation HiSilicon Kirin 990 processor developed by Xia Wei will still be manufactured using TSMC’s 7nm process.
With luck, it will take 20 years to use the 5nm process to manufacture chips. The closer we get to atomic size, the integrated circuits that traditional chips can accommodate will eventually approach the critical point of classical physics, making it difficult to improve computing power.
So I am not optimistic about silicon-based chips in four or five years, and we need to enter the research and development of quantum chips now.
Only quantum chips that can integrate a large number of quantum logic units can perform quantum information processing and break through the computing power limit of traditional computers.
So next, go ahead and sign the confidentiality agreement. "
After Gu Qing finished speaking, except for the people in the software engineering department who were present, the other veteran drivers all had their eyes gleaming.
They signed a lot of confidentiality agreements and confidentiality regulations. But every time you sign these things, you will definitely be exposed to more cutting-edge and even more sci-fi knowledge.
This is the case with domestic wafer manufacturing technology, and this is the case with the Titanium bionic mechanical prosthetic series technology.
< br>
Although Zhang Tianhao and Luo Yunjia were as "normally excited" as others on the surface, they were more excited than others in their hearts.
The big guy in the underground laboratory hasn't moved for a long time.
The main reason for the previous stagnation of research and development is that the chip equipped with the big guy cannot handle the transmission, cracking and transformation of all neural signal information for a long time.
At that time, Gu Qing concluded that he could only activate this big thing again after the quantum chip matured.
At this moment, Gu Qing has started the quantum chip project. Does that mean that the big guy in the basement can continue to develop it soon?
As for the worry that quantum chip research and development will be hindered or even the project will be canceled, that does not exist at Jiuzhou Technology Company.
As a victorious general, Boss Gu has a 100% success rate in every research and development project he leads, and the time is very short. He can pinpoint the problem every time.
After everyone signed the confidentiality agreement and chatted with this group of "hungry wolves" with gleaming eyes, Boss Gu returned to the central office building of Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park.
Although research and development of technology is the most important, and Xuanwu handles daily affairs, he still has to attend some important company meetings.
After all, it’s not the same world anymore. Some things still need to be filled in or the differences need to be verified. Listen to other people’s reports.
For example, Vice President Dong summarized the inventory of major events in the high-tech industry in 2018.
Although he is an accountant, Dong Qi’s report is not just a list of charts, but a lot of text explanations.
“18 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the technology industry has undergone tremendous changes during this year.
Baidu’s self-driving car appeared at the Summer TV Spring Festival Gala and completed the figure-8 cross running The highly difficult movements brought a highly visual shock to audiences across the country. A black technology performance
But in March, Uber’s self-driving test car hit and killed a pedestrian in the United States. This was the first time a self-driving car was involved in a fatal traffic accident. The automotive industry was hit hard as a result.
At the Google Developer Conference in May, Google released its latest AI system, Duplex, which can complete tasks such as making reservations in a way that is close to human communication.
In September, Ali’s ‘Urban Brain 2.0’ was officially released in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The "city brain" is equivalent to a smart city system, which can connect data scattered in every corner of the city, and conduct global deployment of the city through the analysis and integration of large amounts of data. According to data, Suzhou and Hangzhou dropped from fifth place in 2016 to 57th place in the second quarter of this year on the list of the most congested cities in the country.
In the same month, our company’s bionic mechanical prosthesis CSDYX was released and conducted its first large-scale human test.
……”
Boss Gu was sitting in the front seat with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It’s true that Ali is a mortgage company, but its big data training and Ali cloud technology are made with real money.
What about Baidu’s driverless cars and the driverless technologies being developed by these companies?
To be honest, it’s not enough.
Unmanned driving requires the strong cooperation of enough detectors, big data and logic chips with top computing capabilities.
What Baidu can make, Xia Wei and Dami can create out of nothing and surpass in two years.
If Jiuzhou Technology does it, sorry, more than a month is too much.
No matter how powerful big data operations or logic operations are, their foundation lies in chips and detectors.
Without hardware such as chips and detectors, these data are just castles in the air and useless.
As for hardware manufacturing, industrial software is an insurmountable hurdle.
After listening to Vice President Dong’s report, there were also reports from several other managers.
Boss Gu expressed some "humble opinions" and then adjourned the meeting.
Now the administrative executives of these departments of the company actually do not have much power.
Sometimes a R&D person in the R&D department has a stronger say than them.
For example, a certain young genius is a vegetarian. When he worked at Jiuzhou Technology Company, every employee canteen in the park had a vegetarian section.
The chefs who prepare these vegetarian dishes will not touch their fingers with the meaty smell of pork. They are absolutely vegetarian and not halal.
The time gradually came to evening, Boss Gu looked at the sunset in the distance and waited.
The quantum chip project cannot be exposed for the time being. As for industrial software, the implementation progress of the talent hunting plan has just been closed in the first stage.
Some talents have already reported to the company and joined the company.
Some special talents need to be "brought back in human flesh".
After passing the inspection by the most peripheral relevant departments and the security department of Jiuzhou Technology Company, a convoy entered the Jiuzhou Technology Park.
Zhang Yuanfeng swiped his face, swiped his ID card, and scanned the QR code all the way, and finally arrived safely inside the park. Thinking of his daughter who was studying in the Titanium Star Park, he felt like he was returning home.
Of course, his daughter is not physically disabled, she is just a first-come-first-served person near the water, and she can practice speaking in the special atmosphere of the Titan Park.
American pronunciation English, British pronunciation English, Italian, French, Russian, many foreign native speakers live in the Titan Star Park, and there are also many top students and teachers from the foreign language departments of surrounding universities "making extra money" , is simply the best training place to practice speaking or experience the atmosphere of other languages.
At this moment, the young man in the seat behind Zhang Yuanfeng suddenly said: "Uncle Zhang, your heartbeat is a little fast. At your age, after sunset in the evening, Yin energy is stronger than Yang energy. , you need to calm down and nourish the yin-jin in the body. ”
Zhang Yuanfeng smiled and nodded, and planned to be willful for once and not listen to the advice of this stick boy for the time being.
And in this train, there are many people with this kind of strange brain circuit.
There are the magic sticks who recite the I Ching all day long, the teenagers who can’t even tie their shoelaces, and the problem girls who eat sweets all the time and can’t even speak a word.
Most of them are special, and some even cannot leave their parents, so Zhang Yuanfeng needs to be like a nanny, taking care of the whole family.
