Chapter 1749: A Pile of 'Garbage'

Anhui, University of Science and Technology of China.

A confidential convoy escorted by armored vehicles drove into an underground research institute on the outskirts of the city. This underground research institute was originally an air-raid shelter in the past, and it was cleaned and renovated to prevent the leakage of important information.

When Zhou Qingfeng, who was wearing a black mask, followed the convoy into the research institute, he was immediately slightly shocked by the strict security measures and the scientific research environment built at a huge expense. Just to provide independent power supply here, a set of power generation and transformation equipment is specially equipped.

The roads in and out of the institute are guarded by the army, and there are GPS and radio jamming equipment on the surface. It is basically difficult for people inside to get out, and their activities are greatly restricted.

In the institute, a group of researchers in white coats had been waiting for a long time. Among them are old men with white hair and young people with green faces, all of them look ordinary.

When the convoy parked in the underground parking lot, the scene was heavily guarded, and there were soldiers with guns inside and outside the parking lot. The order they got was to shoot and kill anyone who made any changes immediately, because the things brought by the convoy were so special that they had to be kept strictly confidential, and any information leakage was prohibited.

In the quiet and tense environment, only Zhou Qingfeng muttered carelessly: "Why did Mao have to pull me over? I'm very busy."

Xiao Jinlang was by the side, with a serious face and no words. The reason why Zhou Qingfeng had to come was because the container contained a prototype of a quantum computer collected by the Aurora Legion in the wasteland. It was the one that was robbed once by Tony Parker on the way.

Since there were too many items transported from Wasteland North America, Zhou Qingfeng realized the importance of this item only afterwards, and immediately transported all the collected components back by air. The encryption lock on the container was set by him himself.

Human pursuit of intelligent equipment has triggered the information revolution. After ordinary electronic computers, human beings are already thinking about what the next computer will look like.

Human beings have thought about "optical brains" and imagined biological computers, but in the end they feel that manipulating quantum is more realistic. However, the trouble with quantum computers is that the more quantum they manipulate at the same time, the more complex they become, and the difficulty rises sharply.

According to a small amount of information that has been preserved, the computing power of the prototype machine in front of him is several million times that of the sum of all computing devices in the real world.... This thing is kind of scary.

With a bang, Zhou Qingfeng used his own blood as the verification medium to pass the verification of the combination lock, and the containers pulled by the convoy were opened one by one. If the verification fails, the container will explode. Xiao Jinlang just felt that it was not safe to take his blood, so he just dragged him here desperately.

When the container was opened, a puff of dust rose from inside. An old academician of the research institute walked forward slowly. He first glanced at Zhou Qingfeng, who was the only one in the crowd wearing a black mask, and then climbed into a container with his own legs.

Garbage was piled up in disorder in the container, various devices were randomly placed on the ground, and occasionally a few cabinets were seriously damaged. The point is that it's full of dust and dirty.

The old academician picked up a half-broken board, stared at it for a long time with his glasses on and asked Zhou Qingfeng quietly: "What is this? It looks like some kind of solid-state memory."

Zhou Qingfeng shrugged outside the container, "Don't ask me, I'm just out of my wits right now, and I don't understand this kind of high technology. The things have been shipped and the materials have been given, and the rest is up to you."

Due to repeated twists and turns, the quantum prototype transported by Zhou Qingfeng has been broken beyond words. The researchers at the scene were not frustrated. They carefully cleaned out the contents of dozens of containers one by one, and labeled them by category.

Since Zhou Qingfeng didn't understand it himself, not all of the items he got were related to quantum computers, and many of them could even be called real garbage. But these things are treated as treasures before they are really screened out.

"This level of integration is much higher than ours."

"The materials are different. Has anyone solved the problem of room temperature superconductivity?"

"It's like a complete optical quantum chip.

Wow..., this cabinet can be activated. "

"What is this? Virtual projection? My God, this thing is advanced enough."

The constant moving process was serious at first. However, after a long time, the accumulated curiosity still made the researchers who saw the new toy start to discuss it privately. Until when several complete cabinets were being moved, someone touched the button by mistake and started a device with a backup power supply.

The gorgeous virtual projection appeared directly, and a NASA logo was undoubtedly revealed, and everyone was stunned—this virtual projection alone is already advanced technology, and there is no equipment that can achieve such an effect.

"NASA?" someone exclaimed. The sudden change caused a little confusion, Xiao Jinlang hurried over but was also dumbfounded. He pulled Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "What should I do?"

"Have you never seen a computer turn on? It must be a power-on password. What's so strange?" Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what to do. , study slowly."

The turmoil attracted the old academician of the Secret Research Institute, and he didn't know what to do after studying for a long time. The things in front of them are obviously beyond everyone's understanding, and there is even a gap between generations. Everyone was a little timid, not daring to mess around.

"There is a power port on it, go find a 110-volt power supply and connect it to it. Don't turn off the device once it's turned on, keep the power supply." The old academician was more cautious, for fear that he would damage things by switching on and off at will.

Everyone has already noticed that the batch of things in front of them are extremely special in terms of origin and performance, and they are by no means ordinary goods. It took three or four days to move dozens of containers, and as more and more new discoveries were made, the screening process became more and more careful.

Because after a simple inspection, the people at the institute found that there was not only a prototype of a quantum computer among these things, but even a fairly complete supercomputer with a classical architecture.

"This is used by the U.S. Department of Energy for nuclear weapon simulations, and it's code-named 'Spruce'." The old academician of the Secret Research Institute pointed to a nameplate and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "You didn't know this when you got it?"

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't get away these few days, so he could only accompany him as a commentator. But he can’t explain anything, and he only has one answer when he encounters any questions, “It’s what it says in the information. I don’t know more, you can figure it out for yourself.”

A normal supercomputer occupies a large area, consumes a lot of energy, is complex to operate, and requires a large number of maintenance personnel. But this 'Sunrume' in front of me is very special. It only has a dozen or so cabinets, but its performance is beyond the charts.

"We made preliminary calculations, and the computing power of this thing is two orders of magnitude higher than our current best 'Shenwei'. And it is really small, and there are a lot of special software for supercomputing in its internal memory, and it is very special to use. Convenience.

And the extremely damaged quantum prototype machine also shocked us greatly. Its biggest feature is the practical quantum device. If these devices can be replicated, it will be of great help to the development of our own quantum computers. "

In addition to the engine, there is also a big gap between the rabbit's electronics industry and the eagle sauce. Right now, it is very helpful to be able to obtain real objects, and they are advanced real objects.

However, Zhou Qingfeng didn't care too much about the specific technological progress. He is so active in obtaining quantum computers, in fact, he hopes that another project can be accelerated.

"I hope that my current efforts will help the verification work in the final stage of the NTZ project, because I am really a little bit annoyed."
