From all-round academic master to chief scientist

China Chip Manufacturing Company, Chip Research Institute.

The Chip Research Institute is located in Shangjing. It looks very grand from the outside. It occupies a park. Inside, there is an office building nearly two hundred meters high. As for the area of ​​the entire park, it can make many real estate developers jealous. Eyes are red.

As the largest chip foundry company in the world today, Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company invests quite a lot in scientific research. Of course, part of the reason is also related to the company's only private shareholder.

However, probably precisely because it invested enough in scientific research, Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company has also enjoyed huge scientific research dividends. This is also the main reason why the company has emerged as the world's largest chip foundry company in just a few years.

As the largest technology research institute under the company's name, this chip research institute can be said to include many advanced chip technologies being researched, and it has invested the most money, so it is quite normal to have such a magnificent park.

At this moment, many people gathered in the chip research institute, all of whom came to witness a technology that could shock the world again.

Amid the discussion, this technology has also been revealed.

"Superconducting chips, I didn't expect them to be developed."

"It's unbelievable. Now we are really overtaking in a corner."

"Don't overtake on the curve at this time. We have already won the race by accelerating on the straight. Now we should be able to pass the corner with one hand and directly throw away others."

"makes sense."

"..."

People were talking, and many people were rushing towards the door of the conference hall.

At this time, a Hongqi L5 drove up the road, followed by four black Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

When people at the door saw this formation, they thought some big leader was coming.

At the same time, people also saw many people walking out of the conference hall, and these people were all leaders of Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company.

Later, when the red flag car parked and the people on it got off, everyone finally knew that this "big leader" was their country's chief scientist.

Although the people present were envious of the crowd around Lin Xiao, they were not jealous. After all, they were basically studying semiconductors. As domestic semiconductor researchers, if they did not thank Lin Xiao for the advantages he had brought to them, If you are jealous of the treatment that Lin Xiao enjoys despite the environment, you will be looked down upon by others, not to mention that everyone knows that Lin Xiao has been in real danger.

After Lin Xiao got out of the car, he also exchanged a few words with the leaders of Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company, such as the general manager and chairman.

But after chatting for a few words, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing next to him, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Eh? Kong Hua'an, are you here too?"

That familiar figure was none other than Kong Huaan.

He remembered that Kong Huaan was studying chip architecture, but he didn't expect that he would also come here and follow these people out to greet him.

Of course, as Kong Huaan is one of the heroes of the X-ray project, the leaders of these companies naturally know him.

When Kong Huaan saw Lin Xiao looking over, he also smiled and said: "Well, I had something to come over, so I took the opportunity to attend this meeting."

"That's just right. You can sit with me later." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "That's just right. I'm not the protagonist in this meeting, so I don't have to sit in it."

Everyone present couldn't help but smile, and the general manager of the company also smiled and said: "If Chief Lin wants to sit on it, of course we can make arrangements."

"That's no need." Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then said: "Let's not stand here talking nonsense, let's go in first."

Hearing what he said, everyone else naturally nodded and then walked into the conference hall.

Soon, Lin Xiao and Kong Huaan were sitting in the first row together.

"What? You said you have already researched the architecture?"

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiao learned the news from Kong Huaan.

And he was also very surprised by this.

"How's the effect? ​​Is it good?"

Listening to Kong Huaan's introduction, Lin Xiao finally nodded and said, "I understand."

He smiled and patted Kong Huaan on the shoulder and said, "In this case, our semiconductors will really have no shortcomings in the future, and the people of our country will all thank you."

He didn't expect that such a good thing could happen when he was researching battery technology. When the news is announced, the people abroad will probably be shocked.

The other party must not have imagined that when everyone was clearly competing around battery technology, they would sneak out a brand new chip architecture, and it also technically surpassed the semiconductor architecture they had mastered.

Semiconductors, as another important track, are no less important than battery technology. Now that they have regained their lifeblood on this track, coupled with the upcoming superconducting processor, they are now completely in a Taking the lead.

In this way, even if it fails on the battery track, it seems that there is no loss at all, and there is even some profit.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao could only sigh, "What a double happiness."

Not to mention, the chance of them failing on the battery track is completely zero.

Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Kong Huaan also smiled lightly, and then said: "Oh, by the way, one more thing is that I plan to design a new chip based on this new architecture and then combined with superconducting chip technology. "

Hearing Kong Huaan's plan, Lin Xiao nodded and expressed his approval: "Well, then just go ahead and do it. If there is anything needed, I will help you."

"Okay." Kong Huaan nodded, and when talking about this, he suddenly said: "By the way, you tell me, if I use this processor based on the chief architecture and superconducting chip to specialize Would it be very effective to run an artificial intelligence?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "This is certainly worth a try. After all, AI has a foundation, which is computing power. The processor you produce by then will probably far exceed the single processor of Pangu Supercomputing in terms of computing power." ”

"Yeah." Kong Hua'an nodded slightly, "Then I can specialize in studying AI algorithms recently. Maybe I can develop this AI into an anthropomorphic aspect."

"Anthropomorphism?" Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Let's just make someone more versatile, sing and dance rap baskets... Ahem, there are also AI painting, AI web author and so on, directly combining the fields of painting and web writing. All conquered."

"Is this... afraid it's a bit difficult?"

"Of course it's a bit difficult, but just like us humans developing AI, the ultimate goal is to hope that AI can think like humans - of course, I'm not talking about things like intelligent life, otherwise, this would be really weird."

Artificial intelligence life is still a outrageous thing for Lin Xiao. He thinks that before humans have studied the fundamental reasons for the formation of consciousness, it is completely illogical to want artificial intelligence to produce consciousness.

Therefore, in his opinion, the intelligent life forms that appear in the movie do not fit the background.

And if technology can really be developed to explain consciousness, things like memetic weapons may also become a reality.

Unless an artificial intelligence can automatically generate consciousness when certain conditions are reached, just like the birth of human consciousness.

The reason why the birth of human consciousness is so incredible and is considered a miracle of life is because before the birth of human beings, it was just a fertilized egg cell that developed into a flesh ball. In the process of developing its true body, it was just a microscopic It is really incredible how consciousness was born in the "matter" composed of particles.

This is like a superpower that everyone has. With a single thought, he can control the nerve cells in the nerve center to emit current, and then control the body parts. This can be called a superpower [particle controller].

The process of the birth of human consciousness is so miraculous that it can even be said to be "sudden." Maybe artificial intelligence can suddenly gain consciousness under certain circumstances?

Lin Xiao had no idea about this, and even if he asked the system, the system would only answer him with a price that was too high for him to pay.

But in short, he believes that consciousness may be regarded as quantum mechanics at work. However, such an idea, in his opinion, is completely a perfunctory behavior of "undecided, quantum mechanics".

Shaking his head, Lin Xiao no longer thought about these far-off things, and then suddenly remembered the four words mentioned in Kong Huaan's words just now, and couldn't help but be stunned: "By the way, what you just said, your structure what do you say that is?"

"Chief Architect." Kong Huaan smiled, "How about it? Does this name sound as awesome as yours?"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "I thought it would be called Anwar Structure. After all, this is your habit."

Kong Huaan waved his hand, "I still know how to change, but there was no need to change before."

Lin Xiao smiled and guessed that Kong Huaan would give this structure this name, which was probably related to him. Then he said no more and said: "Okay, let's not talk about these things for now. Let’s talk, well, the meeting is about to start.”

As he spoke, Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the rostrum. There were already many leaders from China Chip Manufacturing Company sitting on it. Obviously, today's technology brought these people here.

Of course, Lin Xiao is technically the leader of Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company, but he has no plans to go up.

Soon, the meeting officially began. The meeting mainly introduced the superconducting chip technology they developed, and proved to everyone present that this technology is not useless, but practical and usable, and can even achieve mass production.

Of course, it is still early days, and the cost of a superconducting chip is still quite high, at least twenty times that of a silicon chip with the same process specifications. However, considering the improvement in computing power compared to silicon chips, it has increased by nearly one percent. To the extent of a hundred times, in the future, this kind of superconducting chip will be used in equipment that requires high computing power, and it will be completely profitable.

After learning these data, everyone in the audience cheered.

From now on, their chip technology will become the most advanced in the world!

Including Lin Xiao also smiled and clapped his hands. Although this superconducting chip technology is mainly based on his room temperature superconductor, the ability to complete such technology also shows that Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company is doing something practical. In this way, The worries he once had about this company were completely unnecessary now.

Soon, the meeting ended, but when Lin Xiao was about to leave, someone suddenly approached him again.

Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw the person coming: "Academician Pang Wei?"

Academician Pang Wei is the leader of quantum computers in their country.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why did Academician Pang Wei suddenly come to him?

Academician Pang Wei smiled and said, "Chief Lin, can you please take a step to speak?"

"Of course that's no problem." Lin Xiao nodded, and then he and Academician Pang Wei found a place with few people to talk.

"Chief Lin, I'm looking for you this time because I want to ask you for a favor." Pang Wei first explained his purpose.

However, after Lin Xiao heard this sentence, a strange expression appeared on his face.

He asked tentatively: "Isn't this a favor to help research quantum computers?"

Pang Wei immediately laughed: "Chief Lin is indeed Chief Lin. He is really good at predicting things. It is indeed related to the research of quantum computers. Everyone of us said that as long as the problem is in your hands..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao added the next sentence: "There is nothing that can't be solved."

"There's nothing that can't be done... uh..." Pang Wei said it again, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao to say it too. Then he smiled and said: "It seems that Chief Lin also knows about this matter."

Lin Xiao curled his lips and said, "Don't tell me that you came to me after hearing about it from Zhu Cheng."

"Who is Zhu Cheng?"

"Don't you know the general manager of Jinwu Energy Group?"

Pang Wei shook his head, "I don't know this person, but I was actually recommended here by Academician Li Gang from the Institute of Plasma."

Lin Xiao immediately gritted his teeth: "...How many people has Li Gang recommended me to?"

"Well, I don't remember this." Pang Wei said with a smile: "It was just that we had a meeting with more than fifty academicians, and then Academician Li Gang shared it at that meeting."

"More than fifty...!?"

Lin Xiao's eyes darkened.

"Huh? Chief Lin, what's wrong with you? Academician Lin? Lin Xiao? Are you okay?"

In Pang Wei's voice, Lin Xiao finally regained consciousness, then leaned against the wall next to her with a numb face, waved her hands and said, "Not gone, not gone."

"Okay, Academician Pang, you'd better just tell me, what's the technical problem?"

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Pang Wei looked at Lin Xiao a few more times uneasily. After making sure that Lin Xiao had no problem, he said: "Actually, that's the case. I also participated in the meeting on room temperature superconductors. Lin Chief, you were here too."

"Then in our subsequent experiments, we also tried many times using room-temperature superconductors, and achieved many breakthroughs at the beginning. However, we later discovered that simply using room-temperature superconductors was not enough. We also needed to build a large-scale Only superconducting circuits can work, so we focused on superconducting chips, and over the past few years, we have been trying to promote the development of superconducting chips, and now we have finally achieved it.”

“But a few days ago we got the first batch of superconducting chips and conducted the initial experiments. Although the effect is more gratifying and the entangled particles between qubits have become more stable, there is still a fatal factor. The problem is that we lack an algorithm, or mathematical model, to control the switching of these qubit entangled particles."

"As long as this problem can be solved, I think we may realize a true quantum computer!"

When he said this, Pang Wei's face seemed to light up with expectation. Obviously, being able to realize a quantum computer is the most important thing in his life for him.

Almost all his life has been devoted to quantum computers and quantum entanglement. When he was young, he was also a student of Anton Salinger, the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, and Salinger and two other The winner was awarded for discovering the phenomenon of quantum entanglement.

Therefore, for Pang Wei, if this kind of real quantum computer can be developed, it will undoubtedly be like a dream come true, and it will be of great significance to him.

Finally, Pang Wei said very sincerely: "So, I thought of entrusting you, Chief Lin, to help."

At this time, after Lin Xiao listened to Pang Wei's request, Yintang, which originally seemed to be darkened, suddenly became brighter.

"Does this mean it's a mathematical problem?"

"Yes." Pang Wei nodded, and then said more accurately: "Oh, strictly speaking, this should be a mathematical physics problem, but according to your ability, Chief Lin, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

At this time, Lin Xiao's face finally burst into a smile.

Fortunately, okay, it's just a math problem. Compared to studying battery technology, which has a lot to do with materials, studying mathematics is what he likes more.

Speaking of which, the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in more than a month, and obviously, because it is located abroad, he will not be allowed to go abroad without ensuring safety.

Therefore, he must have missed this International Congress of Mathematicians.

Of course, it wasn't a big problem. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I agree to this."

Although he also has to study battery technology at the same time, it is completely okay to take some free time to study mathematical problems.

"Then...thank you, Chief Lin." Although he said thank you, but thinking about Lin Xiao's unwillingness just now, he suddenly became energetic now. In addition, Lin Xiao suddenly seemed like The fainted appearance also made him ask worriedly: "Chief Lin, are you sure there is nothing wrong with your body? Do you want to go get checked or something?"

"There's no need to worry. I just had a physical examination some time ago."

Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hand, asking for physical examinations and so on. Although he thought that his health was still very good, under the requirements of the country, he actually still went for physical examinations regularly.

Nowadays, the country is probably more worried about his health than he is.

When he heard what Lin Xiao said, Pang Wei nodded and said no more. Then he made an appointment with Lin Xiao to take him to the research institute to understand the situation, and then they separated.
