Chapter 226 Our First Quantum Computer!

After a pause, Ning Chen continued:

"But I believe that most of them will not feel any regrets because of this. Because they all have a common goal."

Hearing what Ning Chen said, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but feel excited.

"Yes, without their efforts, our country would not be as strong as it is now. At least no one would dare to bully us easily."

Ning Chen doesn't care when the results he has made will be known to the world. Perhaps when the world is truly peaceful, these things will no longer have the meaning of being kept secret.

…

The news of the successful test flight of J21 quickly attracted the attention of people across the country.

Many Chinese people are very proud of this, because the successful test flight of J21 undoubtedly demonstrates the country's strong strength in the air field.

Compared with the J20 that first flew two years ago, the J21 has shown stronger performance in many aspects. Even many ordinary people who do not know much about fighter jets can clearly feel the progress and breakthroughs made by the J21. .

The entire Internet is talking about the success of this J21 test flight.

"At this moment, I am proud of our country! This level of fighter jet test flight is unprecedented in the whole world!"

"Thanks to our scientific researchers for their efforts in researching the J21 fighter jet! This represents a leap forward in the national aviation industry and demonstrates the progress of national strength! Behind this is the hard work and sweat of great scientific researchers."

"Although the J21's current performance may not be called the most powerful fighter in the world, according to our current research trends, we may take the world's lead in this field in a few years. status!"

On the Internet, everyone seems to be extremely united, and there is almost no negative comments.

In addition to the speeches of ordinary netizens, there are also some professionals who analyzed the performance of the J21 during the test flight from a professional perspective.

Whether it is in terms of speed, climb rate, dive acceleration capability, etc., the J21 has indeed shown better performance.

In particular, the design of the wings and fuselage of the entire fighter jet is different from the previous generation fighter jet in many details, and these may be the key factors that give the J21 more powerful performance.

Of course, these things that everyone can see from the test flight process were not leaked accidentally, but deliberately.

This is a display of strength that can scare away those forces with evil intentions and play a key role in maintaining a peaceful environment.

Soon, this matter also attracted attention from abroad.

Some aircraft experts on the other side of the ocean, after carefully studying the test flight process of the J21, felt very incredible about the performance of the J21.

"How is it possible... this fighter should still use the engine of the previous generation fighter, but its performance has improved so much?"

As this foreign expert said, the J21 has not had any changes in the aircraft engine. It is just that the fuselage material and the design of the fuselage and wings are significantly different from the previous generation of fighter jets.

According to his understanding of aircraft design, it is impossible for an aircraft to achieve such performance simply by changing the aircraft materials, fuselage and wings.

"Yes, I also agree that this fighter jet named J21 still uses the previous generation fighter engine technology. This conclusion can be drawn from many details. But the design of the fuselage and wings of this aircraft is really It’s very special, I’ve never seen a similar design on any aircraft in the world before.”

"If we use an analogy, this is a bit like a swimmer's sharkskin swimsuit, which can significantly improve the athlete's swimming performance while the athlete's ability remains unchanged. Of course, technically speaking, the J21 fighter jet uses The technology we received is obviously several levels higher.”

Although the current performance of the J21 fighter jet is not enough to threaten their fighter status, this is obviously a very bad signal.

Once China continues to make breakthroughs in other fields such as aircraft engines, their leading position in the aviation field may no longer exist.

At this time, one person suggested:

"I think we can analyze more in-depth content from the information obtained during this test flight. We can also try to learn from such an aircraft design structure."

Hearing that the United States actually needs to learn aircraft design technology from China, the experts present were dumbfounded.

"In fact, it is not easy to learn this design method, because many structures of the aircraft cannot be completely copied. Instead, the specific design plan of the aircraft needs to be determined based on various other conditions of the aircraft. What we need to learn is It is the core mechanism of this design plan.”

Because the information currently publicly available is very limited, it is understandable how difficult it is to accomplish this goal.

In fact, even Ning Chen would never be able to completely replicate the entire aerodynamic system calculated using the Navier-Stokes equations with such limited information.

…

After watching the test flight of J21, Ning Chen and others continued to devote themselves to research on quantum computers.

With the completion of the research work on each branch project, the entire project has entered the next research stage.

This time, experts gathered at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to start joint research work on various technologies.

Although previous tests have shown that the research of each branch project meets the standards, after all, whether the final quantum computer can work normally depends on the fit between various technologies.

Everyone assembled the components of each quantum computer and conducted more detailed testing.

Unlike traditional computers, quantum computers are very large and require a special laboratory to accommodate such huge equipment.

Of course, compared to supercomputers, quantum computers do not require such a large number of CPUs and memories, but rely on their unique principles to complete faster operations.

Watching the quantum computer in his mind gradually appear before his eyes, Ning Chen could hardly describe the excitement in his heart.

After completing the assembly of the quantum computer, the quantum computer was successfully started.

Researchers at Shuimu University installed the developed quantum computer system into the computer and installed some software specially designed for quantum computers.

After preliminary testing, there were no problems with the operation of the entire system, and no obvious bugs were found.

At this moment, everyone seemed very excited.

This situation is like the successful test run of a rocket engine. Although it cannot explain all the problems, it is at least half of the success.

Ning Chen was also very excited at this time, which proved that his original design was indeed on the right track.

Of course, the current performance of this quantum computer is only an initial success.

Next, this quantum computer will undergo more detailed testing including readout error testing, controllable NOT gate testing, quantum volume testing, etc.

During the break of testing work, Yue Jiafeng found Ning Chen and chatted with Ning Chen about some things about this quantum computer.

"Teacher Ning, judging from the current testing situation, this quantum computer can at least run smoothly, and the computing speed is indeed far faster than that of supercomputer."

At this time, Yue Jiafeng looked happy. It could be seen that these preliminary tests were successful, which relieved a lot of the psychological pressure Yue Jiafeng had accumulated in the past few days.

If he spent so much money and worked with so many experts on research for so long, but in the end he just made a machine that couldn't be started, then Yue Jiafeng would probably have a hard time holding his head high in the future.

"Yes, the current test results are quite satisfactory, which shows that the work we have done before is still very good."

Before the project started, Ning Chen gave a detailed description of every detail of the entire quantum computer design.

Each project team also strictly implemented this standard during the research process, so that the research of the entire project was completely within the controllable range.

After that, Ning Chen and others personally came to each project team to help everyone solve some difficult problems in the research, which greatly improved the overall progress of the project.

"Ning Chen, this quantum computer hasn't been named yet. Although your contribution to the entire project cannot be made public yet, at least the naming rights of this quantum computer should be in your hands."

Previously, this quantum computer was only named after a temporary code name, but everyone meant that it was named after a Chinese word.

After all, this is a quantum computer independently developed, processed, and manufactured by China. The name must also have Chinese cultural heritage.

Ning Chen did not reject Yue Jiafeng this time. In fact, Ning Chen had already thought of a name before this.

"Academician Yue, if you ask me to name it, just call it 'Xinghe'."

Hearing Ning Chen's name, Yue Jiafeng nodded slightly.

"'Xinghe'... sounds like a good name. Ning Chen, why would you think of such a name?"

"The word 'Galaxy' first appeared in a poem by Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty - "Nan Gezi". The meaning of "Galaxy" is the Milky Way and the universe, which represents endless profundity and mystery. I hope this quantum computer can Solve various profound problems existing in the universe, allowing mankind to explore deeper and deeper places."
