Chapter 262 This young man has grown up

After leaving the barracks, Chen Hao looked at Ye Zhou's calm expression, and asked with some amusement:
"What's wrong? Disappointed today?"

Ye Zhou shook his head.

"No, on the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised. The overall performance of this mechanical exoskeleton is much stronger than I expected. I even feel that I have reached a completely unlimited level of joint flexibility. The only problem now is the force feedback delay. The problem."

"If this trend continues, it should be said that it is inevitable to achieve a leading position in this field."

"Then why do you still look unhappy?"

"Why am I unhappy? I just have no expression because I'm thinking."

"Eh, thinking about what? The exoskeleton thing?"

"No. I'm thinking about what ratio should be used for the composition of the quantum computing project team. You see, our principle is that at least 20% of the personnel in the defense field are required to control the dominance of the project. However, the remaining 80% %Woolen cloth?"

"Students in colleges and universities, practitioners in various business fields, and researchers in research institutes. How should the proportion of these people be arranged?"

"We need to pursue maximum efficiency while keeping confidentiality in mind. This issue is very complicated"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment.

For a long time, in fact, he has always regarded Ye Zhou as a young man, including the topics of mechs and games that he talked with him before, and the youthful spirit shown in Ye Zhou. And the unique curiosity of young people cannot be concealed, and it is this that makes my attitude towards him different from others.

However, in Ye Zhou's body, he did see another side.

He had just finished a long-awaited thing, and within half an hour, he had already started to think about the next question.

This situation is exactly the same as when he watched the H-20 flight show. That night, he also called himself non-stop to inquire about the progress of the sulfur-silicon battery.

This young man, he has packed up his emotions very well, so good that his next plan will hardly be affected by any emotional fluctuations.

This is an extremely rare quality.

Those who turned the tide in history, there is no one who is not like this.

The question is, since when did he become like this?

I remember that when I first met him, he was just a frizzy college graduate, and many things he did were thoughtless, even a little ridiculous to people like me.

Now more than a year has passed, and he has grown into a character who can be completely independent and even have an overview of the overall situation.

Such a growth rate can no longer be summed up in just the phrase "amazing".

If he had to say it, he had a faint feeling in his heart, that is, what this young man has really experienced is probably much more than what he saw.

Thinking of this, he said:
"Let's leave this problem to the General Technical Office. Don't think too much. Make sure you rest and don't put too much mental pressure on yourself."

"No, I don't have a lot of mental pressure, I'm just learning. As you said, one day I will think about technological development from a strategic perspective. At that time, I need more than just technology."

"I still have a lot to learn, 1 years is too long, just seize the day."

Chen Hao smiled, sighed with some emotion and said:
"The journey is difficult. Xiongguan is as long as iron, and now we are waiting for the day when we will cross it from the beginning."

When the two returned to Ye Zhou's residence by car, a staff member named Fang Mian from the General Technical Office also came to Chang'an Jiaotong University.

The goal of his trip is to invite a professor with outstanding research achievements in the field of quantum computing to join the project team, and this professor is also Professor Xiao Ping, who previously announced the Jackiw-Rebbi zero-mode results of topological quantum computing.

The time between the two was around 3:[-] pm. When Fang Mian came to Xiao Ping's office, the other party had just woken up from a nap.

After seeing Fang Mian, Xiao Ping enthusiastically poured him tea, let him sit on the sofa, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Comrade Fang, although you didn't say clearly why you came to see me this time, I can basically guess that it should be that the country has made new moves in the field of quantum computing, right?"

Fang nodded and replied with the same smile:
"I can't hide it from you, but there is indeed a new project this time, but the level of confidentiality of this project is very high, and I can't tell you the details for the time being. I am here today to formally invite you to join this project on behalf of the country and organization."

Xiao Ping nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said:
"I understand the confidentiality requirements, but the confidentiality requirements are so high that I can't even tell them. It should be a big project, and the courage on it is still as strong as ever."

"Actually, you don't need to tell me that I can guess that the one who can invite me is nothing more than the research on topological quantum computing. After all, there are not many people who are professional in this area in China. By the way, Lao Yuan, you also invited, right? "

"Yes, Mr. Yuan has agreed to join."

"He agreed. This old man is really energetic."

Hearing Xiao Ping's words, Fang Mian's heart sank a little. He didn't answer immediately, but just waited quietly for Xiao Ping to continue speaking.

As he expected, after a while, Xiao Ping said:
"Comrade Xiaofang, since you are here today, I can also feel the importance of this project, but here I must also openly talk to you about my thoughts."

"You say."

Fang Mian sat up humbly.

"Okay, now my situation is like this. First of all, I'm getting old and my energy is not as good as before. If I want to do high-intensity research work again, to be honest, I'm powerless and inefficient. high."

"Second point, you are not a professional, and you may not be able to understand the difficulty of topological quantum computing technology, but for me, this technology has reached its limit in my hands."

"Of course, I don't mean that this technology has reached its limit. On the contrary, this is a technology with great prospects and broad application prospects, but with my current ability, there is really no way to push it forward. gone."

"Can you understand what I mean? After making the Jackiw-Rebbi zero model, my research level has reached its peak, and it will continue to decline after that."

"To be honest, I think that in my state, it is not beneficial to a radical and long-term project, but will become a drag."

"So, today I can only give you the answer of rejection. Not because I don't want to do it, but because I really can't do it."

Fang Mian nodded slightly, and then asked:
"Old Xiao, so can I sum it up like this, that is, do you think that with your current physical and mental conditions, it is no longer possible to complete this large-scale project? If I say that the cycle of this project is not long, maybe only Within a year?"

Xiao Ping was stunned. He didn't expect that the project cycle mentioned by the other party would be so short.

What can one year do?
There may indeed be many things that can be done for other fields, but quantum computing?
This is a completely unfamiliar direction for human beings. Even in the world, every step forward means illuminating the dark border.

Researchers engaged in this field do not have any signposts in front of them, nor can they see any traceable directions to follow. They can only rely on themselves to constantly comprehend and explore, so it is conceivable that the difficulty is great.

Under such difficulty, it is no longer difficult to achieve results within a year, but simply impossible.

Thinking of this, he became more determined in his decision to refuse.

"One year is short, but the intensity must be great. As I said, my energy is no longer able to carry out high-intensity research-led work. If I just go in and be a handyman, in fact Doesn't mean much to you, does it?"

Fang shook his head and replied:

"We don't intend to occupy too much of your energy. In fact, what we need is a leader in basic theory."

"Your main job is actually to use the theoretical knowledge you have now to pave the way for our other researchers."

"Or I can give a more vivid example. Our plane is about to take off. What you have to do is to work with other experts to lay out the runway for takeoff."

Hearing this, Xiao Ping showed a puzzled look on his face.

Don't need to lead the research and development by yourself?
Laying out the take-off runway sounds like you want to be a teacher in the project team?

What kind of operation is this?
He is not a proud person, but even from the most objective point of view, he feels that this is a bit overkill.

Unless, there are already stronger technical talents in the project team?
However, if it is in the field of topological quantum computing, is there anyone in China stronger than yourself?
He frowned slightly, and asked:
"If you don't need me to lead the research and development, who will lead it? Foreign researchers?"

"No."

Fang Mian shook his head in denial, and continued:
"Old Xiao, I understand your concerns. Your worries are not about energy or ability."

"You are worried that the difficulty of this project is too high, and from a professional point of view, it is absolutely impossible to make new breakthroughs in the short term. If you participate in it yourself and fail to achieve results in the end, you will leave regrets, right? ?”

Xiao Ping nodded slightly, and replied:

"This is one aspect of the reason. On the other hand, as you said, I personally think that this kind of project is difficult to achieve practical significance. Rather than squandering my extremely limited time on it, it is better to base on the existing To do some projects for the country that are more applicable and can obtain short-term benefits.”

Fang Mian looked at the other party's serious expression, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face again.

After a short pause, he said:
"Old Xiao, of course we have considered what you are worried about, so if we are not fully sure, we will definitely not invite you rashly."

"I read your secret clearance before I came here. Although I can't directly disclose the specific information of the project to you, I can tell you the leader of this project."

"I believe that if you have paid attention to this leader before, you will definitely not refuse to participate in this project."

Xiao Ping turned his expression slightly aside, and then asked:

"who is it?"

Fang Mian sat up slightly, put his fists on his knees, and replied solemnly:

"Suiren."
