Chapter 574

His eyes returned to China.

At the Quantum Information Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after Gu Lu and Academician Guo formulated an experimental plan for thirty qubits, they then conducted experiments step by step according to the content described in the experimental plan and obtained various data parameters.

The days passed like this day by day.

With Gu Lu's daily late nights and overtime work and the blessing of liver-exploding potions, the progress of quantum chip research and development can be said to be very fast.

But staying up late for a long time caused a lot of damage to Gu Lu's body.

As a result, Gu Lu can only spend his days holding a thermos cup filled with wolfberry.

As the saying goes, middle-aged people have no choice but to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup.

Although Gu Luren has not yet reached middle age, his body is really weak due to working overtime and staying up late for a long time, so he can only use medicines such as wolfberry water and ginseng tea to regulate his body.

…………

December 31, 2019.

This is the last day of 2019.

There is a festive atmosphere on the streets of Yanjing.

But across the street from it, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, although shrouded in bright lights, could only be seen busy and busy, without any festive celebrations at all.

Inside the Quantum Optics Laboratory.

Everyone performed their duties, and carried out the experiment in front of them meticulously without being affected by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers coming from the outside world.

In the director's office on the top floor, Gu Lu and Academician Guo sat opposite each other, discussing in low voices while sorting out the data parameters obtained from experiments in the past few days.

Suddenly.

Phew, bang! Phew, bang!

The sound of fireworks outside began to get louder.

The dark sky was transformed into colorful brilliance, and the light shined through the window on the profiles of Gu Lu and Academician Guo.

Academician Guo stopped writing and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of his office.

"No wonder it's so loud, it turns out it's already twelve o'clock!" Academician Guo leaned back in his chair and sighed with a smile, "Time flies so fast. I didn't expect to enter 2020 so soon!"

"Yeah, time flies so fast!" Gu Lu picked up the thermos cup in front of him and took a sip of the wolfberry tea, then responded with a smile.

2019 has come to an end and 2020 has arrived!

This heralds that history will open a new page.

At this turbulent time, there will be countless talented people on the world stage.

At the same time, the year 2020 also has a special meaning for China.

Many national-level major plans are scheduled to be fully implemented in 2020.

For China, this is a year full of dangers and opportunities.

certainly……

The arrival of 2020 also means another thing for Gu Lu.

That means Gu Lu is one year older.

Evolved from a twenty-five-year-old single to... a twenty-six-year-old single!

Gu Lu felt a little achy when he thought of this.

Gu Lu has almost saved enough money to buy a house and a car in Yanjing. He originally wanted to find a girlfriend in 2019.

Otherwise, it would be okay to remain single forever.

But Gu Lu did not expect that his decision to join the semiconductor quantum chip project team completely disrupted his original plan.

Gu Law Firm did not expect that the project team would be so busy.

Gu Lu was so busy that he had no time to go out and hook up with the little girl.

Especially in the past few months since he recently moved to the Family Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Gu Lu has had difficulty even meeting a woman, let alone finding a girlfriend, except for An Yu and several other female researchers from the project team headquarters.

"Oh, the plan can't keep up with the changes. I'd better postpone the matter of finding a wife to next year. Anyway, what should be mine will still be mine. This can't escape."

After comforting himself like this, Gu Lu felt a lot better.

…………

Academician Guo, on the other hand, turned to look at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window and sighed again, "New Year, new atmosphere, but this New Year's Day comes at the wrong time!"

Academician Guo should have been happy when New Year's Day came, but now Academician Guo is not happy at all.

The reason is simple.

Because the arrival of New Year's Day means that there is not much time left for their project team.

It is already January 1, 2020.

Calculating the time, there are only two months left in the original half-year period.

Two months, this time is already quite compact.

If their project team cannot take the lead in completing the research and development of a quantum computer within the next two months, then most likely, the world's first quantum computer will be born at IBM in the United States.

This is the cruel fact.

and……

Two months is just a rough estimate by Academician Guo.

But in fact, the time left for everyone in the project team will only be shorter than two months, and it is impossible to be more than two months.

Academician Guo knew exactly who gathered at IBM.

After all, Academician Guo was invited to join by him.

If we expect the top talents in the field to make some fundamental mistakes, we might as well expect a meteorite to destroy the world.

In the IBM Quantum Computing Center, there are several people who are on par with Academician Guo in terms of academic level. Academician Guo has no intention of looking down upon them.

To strike iron, you still need to be tough!

If you want to win this arms race in the field of quantum computers, it is unrealistic to expect your opponent to make mistakes. You can only believe in yourself.

However, the time left for them was too short.

Therefore, Academician Guo does not want this New Year's Day to come so soon.

If possible, Academician Guo hopes that the New Year's Day can be held in the evening, so that their side will have a greater chance of winning!

Although during this period, with him and Gu Lu working overtime around the clock, the possibility of the project team winning this competition was gradually increasing.

But overall, the American company IBM has a greater chance of winning.’

It was not difficult for Gu Lu to understand the meaning of Academician Guo's words just now, and he also fell into silence.

"Mr. Guo, since we made this choice at the beginning, we have already been mentally prepared for failure, so we just do our best and don't have too many worries!" After a few seconds of silence, Gu Lu spoke softly.

said.

"Haha, that's right." A rosy look appeared on Academician Guo's face, "It's not easy for us to go from a situation where there was no one out of ten, a hundred deaths and no life at that time to a situation where we can carry out a long-term and short-term operation now.

"

"Everyone of us has made our best efforts. Even if we fail, we will have no regrets!"

Academician Guo smiled very calmly.

Gu Lu smiled knowingly, shrugged and said, "Mr. Guo, let's continue."

Academician Guo nodded, picked up the pen on the table, "Okay, let's continue!"

On January 1, 2020, this research and development competition on quantum computers officially entered the countdown stage.

The United States has a winning chance, and China is catching up.
Chapter completed!
