The world's first large-scale collection of lunar helium-3 has been announced to have landed safely.

For Flying Ant Aerospace, this is great news.

Li Ruoxi was at the airport, seeing the helium-3 transported from the Tiannv, her tense face loosened, revealing a hint of joy.

She is no longer the young girl who just joined the marching ant company in school.

Because of her relationship with Xiao Yu's best friend, in order not to cause gossip, she believed that she was promoted by her relationship. In those years, she was constantly transferred to various departments, familiar with the operation of the company, and relying on her achievements, she rose step by step.

After being entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Min, she is now also a strong person, managing one of the most important subsidiaries of the Marching Army Ant Group.

The aerospace field is a completely unfamiliar field to her.

Since becoming the general manager, she has been going to bed until early in the morning every day, cramming up all the knowledge about the aerospace field, cramming up on physics knowledge, and learning about the management experience and operation methods of aerospace companies.

Sometimes I would ask the company's artificial intelligence equipped as a management assistant some knowledge and technology about aerospace, or ask some professors.

In order to get familiar with the space environment, she even participated in the second phase of space tourism training and entered space tourism once.

Insufficient starting point, hard work has become her motto.

From being overwhelmed at the beginning, to now becoming a calm and independent female player, she can be regarded as a real growth.

Now Flying Ant Aerospace is very large.

So far, the headquarters has invested more than 9000 billion yuan in Flying Ant Aerospace, second only to Huaxia Nuclear Energy Group's investment in controlled nuclear fusion power plants.

Build a space base, build a space shuttle production line, build a space hotel, build a moon base and start a moon resource development project.The terrible cash investment has created the scale of Flying Ant Aerospace, and there is a huge maintenance fee every year.

She is not in charge of the technical department, which is managed by Chen Mo and other expert teams, and she is only responsible for managing the administration and the company's commercial profit-making projects.

Flying Ant Space Center does not have many profitable projects, only space travel and commercial launches.

However, this situation is about to change.

As a private enterprise, the center of all work and technology is to serve 'money', and only by making money continuously can it maintain the operation of this terrifying behemoth, Flying Ant Aerospace.

The successful development of Helium-3 for the lunar base project is a huge turning point for Flying Ant Aerospace, and now the time has come for Flying Ant Aerospace to increase its profitability.

Chen Mo has already told her that she can maximize the company's conditions to make profits for the company, including the resources developed by the moon.

"Announce the news that we have successfully transported Helium-3 back from the moon. Helium-3 has been developed on a large scale. From now on, Helium-3 will be sold to the outside world and orders for Helium-3 will be accepted from around the world."

"Okay." Li Ruoxi's secretary hurriedly agreed, and called the marketing department and publicity department.

Flying Ant Aerospace successfully returned 100 kilograms of helium-3 from the moon.

The announcement shocked the world.

The most powerful countries in the world have just announced that they have made an important breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology, and they have not really succeeded. The Army Ant Group has already carried out large-scale development of lunar helium-3.

This pace left others far behind.

This is the first time in the world that a company has sold resources on the moon on a large scale. After being shocked, many people began to wonder what the price of helium-3 is.

However, the announced price almost made countless followers curse.

3 million Huaxia coins per kilogram.

It's just stealing money.

When some thought no one would buy it, they were soon disappointed.

Shortly after the news was announced, the High Temperature Plasma Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the purchase of 25 kilograms of helium-3 for research on controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Immediately afterwards, Russian officials announced that they would purchase 5 kilograms of helium-3 from the Flying Ant Space Center. The Russian official's voice had just settled, and the island nation's officials also announced that they would purchase 5 kilograms of helium-3.

The two countries announced the purchase of Flying Ant Aerospace Corporation. Europe and India were not far behind, and they also sent people to purchase 3 kilograms of helium-3.Even Yiguo came to buy 2 kilograms.

If it wasn't for the amount of helium-3 to meet their needs, they would have almost started buying them.

Not long after the announcement of the purchase, several countries have been silent, and the American officials who often target the Army Ant Group also came over shyly and bought 10 kilograms of helium-3.

For ordinary people, 3 million 1 kg is very expensive, but for the current research on tritium fuel for controlled nuclear fusion, this price is half the price, which is simply cheap.

Several countries that are researching controlled nuclear fusion technology have not let go of this good opportunity.

Helium-3 is the main fuel for future controlled nuclear fusion technology. They need to use these fuels to study controlled nuclear fusion technology in advance. With enough fuel, their research and development speed can be doubled.

Flying Ant Aerospace earned nearly 120 billion in just half a month.

It is just that the controlled nuclear fusion technology has not been fully popularized. Except for the two controlled nuclear fusion power plants that have been put into operation in the world, the rest are all experimental equipment.

If controlled nuclear fusion technology is popularized around the world, and hundreds of thousands of controlled nuclear fusion power stations are built, and they operate continuously day and night, then the Flying Ant Space Center's revenue from selling helium-3 will be scary enough.

……

In the quantum laboratory, Chen Mo is waiting for the experimental results.

The entangled state preparation and coherent manipulation of multiple qubits are the core problems of quantum computers.

Chen Mo used a cavity quantum electrodynamics system to complete the preparation of quantum entangled states.It is relatively difficult to manipulate qubits. There are many kinds of particle systems in the quantum entanglement state. No matter what kind of particles are used, there are very high requirements for the control and measurement of entangled particles.

Now there are superconducting materials, and using electronic quantum states is his best research and development path at present.

In terms of qubit manipulation, Chen Mo used the method of superconducting quantum interference to manipulate the quantum.

Designing an electrodynamic quantum control system for superconducting quantum dot components can achieve the purpose of controlling the electronic state of quantum dots by finely adjusting electrodes to interfere with electrons.

Quantum chip design, superconducting single-electron transistor with integrated measurement readout system.

Superconducting chips are one of the solutions for solid-state quantum computing. The advantage is that they have good scalability in terms of technology, and can integrate more qubits to improve the computing power of quantum computers.

"The results of the experiment came out."

While Chen Mo was waiting quietly, Mo Nu spoke.

A simulated image of the experimental results appears on the platform, and the image of the coupled resonance, the simulated quantum dot, is at the intersection point.This image is the behavior of qubits walking randomly in a superconducting chain.

Chen Mo quickly set his sights on other data.

The maximum and minimum control errors are both within the range of 10^-6, and the fidelity is as high as 99.99%. This control accuracy has far exceeded the quantum gate control accuracy threshold required by current fault-tolerant quantum computing.

This result shows that the experiment with 16 qubits was successful.

After Chen Mo checked the data, he was somewhat satisfied.

The idea is correct, and then the controllable quantum quantity can be slowly expanded.

The process requirements of quantum chips are not high. Micron-scale superconducting transistor chips can realize gigahertz-level main frequency logic circuits. The key lies in the number of qubits that can be controlled.

Quantum computers can manipulate the number of qubits up to 50, comparable to current supercomputers.

If the number of quantums that can be manipulated reaches 100, the computing power of a quantum computer can reach 100 million times the sum of all computing power in the world.Its terrifying computing power can allow traditional computers to crack passwords of any difficulty in an instant.

A quantum computer is a true parallel computing computer. As the number of qubits that can be manipulated increases, its computing power increases exponentially.When the number of qubits that can be manipulated reaches 1000, the computing power of the quantum computer is close to unlimited.

This is an essential tool for the next information revolution after the Internet era of artificial intelligence.

"Proceed to the next experiment." After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mo asked Mo Nu to start the next experiment.

Chapter 648 Quantum and Consciousness

Since Flying Ant Space Company announced the return of Helium-3, the United States took the lead in announcing that it will continue its lunar development program.

The island country and India also jointly announced the launch of a lunar cooperation plan to jointly build a lunar base in the future. Russia and the European Union are not far behind, and have successively announced plans to continue to increase lunar exploration.

But outsiders understand that these countries are just expressing an attitude and making some preparations, and the specific steps need to be taken step by step.

At present, only the army ant group has the ability to build bases and develop resources on the moon.Others want to build bases and develop resources. It will take at least 10 years for their technology to make a comprehensive breakthrough.

Huaxia officials are not idle either.

During this period, the leadership of the capital changed smoothly.

Soon after the successful transition, the first fire was placed on the energy market.

Soon, the official announced that new energy vehicles will be fully promoted, old-for-new vehicles will be promoted, and traditional fuel vehicles will be phased out within the next five years.

The decisive decision of Huaxia's new leadership team caused shocks in the international market.This news made the already sluggish fossil energy market even more sluggish, and the international crude oil price hit a new low.

As we all know, the technology of new energy vehicles has already matured, but it has not yet reached the time and has not been completely resolute. This time the official is serious.

With the ultra-capacitor battery technology of the Marching Ant Group, the battery life problem of new energy vehicles has long been solved.

The new energy vehicle company of Marching Ant Group, with its strong reputation and technical support, currently occupies the top market in the world and belongs to a world-renowned luxury car brand.

At the same time, the Marching Ant Group is also popularizing unmanned driving systems in various cities in China.

In China, with the mass production of helium-3, the conditions for energy transformation have initially matured. Just waiting for the successful construction of nuclear fusion power stations in various provinces, fossil fuels can be gradually withdrawn from the market.

This official decision has brought traditional energy vehicles, which were already on the verge of being phased out, into a phase of accelerated phase-out.

inside the laboratory.

Chen Mo is holding a biscuit-sized chip. On the holographic platform in front of him are simulated various beating data nodes.

And in the clean room in front of him, there are various machines that he has never seen before.

In the most conspicuous position, there is a glass box the size of a box. In the center of the machine, there is a chip that is exactly the same as the chip in Chen Mo's hand. All conductors are made of superconducting materials.

This is a prototype of a quantum computer.

It's the same as when computers first appeared.

During this period, a total of more than 130 experiments were conducted, with an average of 2.5 experiments per day, to verify the method of expanding the number of qubits and to design circuits integrating the number of qubits.

Combining the technical theory obtained from the Science and Technology Library with the existing technology, and with the help of Mo Nu, Chen Mo continuously optimized the design of the quantum chip.

"73 qubits, not enough."

Chen Mo was not too satisfied with the experimental results.

2 to the 73rd power, theoretically, if Chen Mo builds a complete quantum computer now, it means that the computer he manufactured has a computing power of trillions of trillions.

But this is not enough.

Chen Mo is not satisfied with these calculation abilities.

One of the purposes of building a quantum computer this time is to prepare Mo Nu to become a super artificial intelligence and learn human emotions to become an artificial human.

The computing power of trillions of trillions seems very powerful, thousands of times faster than his existing superconducting computer, but it is far from enough to simulate human consciousness and thinking.

Human consciousness and brain are the most amazing and mysterious things in the universe, involving too many unexplainable things, the complexity of which is self-evident.

It is impossible to simulate human consciousness and emotion without unimaginable computing power.

The brain has 1000 billion cells, and the cells communicate with each other, forming 100 trillion cell synapses.Through the interaction of nerve cells, nerve cell clusters are formed, which constitute different areas of the brain and control human behavior.

Any human behavior, even a simple blink of an eye, contains a huge amount of information and cell activities, which cannot be simulated and calculated by ordinary computers.

Human thinking consciousness has uncertainty, and this feature is also one of the basic characteristics of quantum.

It can be determined that the quantum has the same characteristic of uncertainty as the initial consciousness of human beings.

When people face the choice of staying at home or going out shopping, the thinking game of the brain is similar to Schrödinger's cat experiment. The moment of making a decision is the moment of opening the box of Schrödinger's cat experiment.

Quantum and consciousness have the same basic characteristics. Chen Mo believes that quantum computing is one of the most feasible ways for artificial intelligence to simulate human emotions and become artificial humans.

But in order for Mo Nu to have human emotions and thinking, Mo Nu's brain chip must have enough computing power to maintain her computing like a human being.

Chen Mo's current goal is 100 qubits, which is just the starting point.

If you want to simulate human consciousness and emotion, even a quantum computer with 100 qubits is still not enough to calculate.

He is now equivalent to creating a thinking soul out of thin air, and the process will definitely not be that easy.

"Mr. Mo, come here first today, and continue to calculate and optimize the design of the chip." Chen Mo put the chip in his hand, took off his lab coat and left the laboratory.

"Brother Mo, sister Zhao Min arranged a private charity reception for you."

After walking out of the laboratory, Mo Nu reminded her.

"A charity party?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.

In terms of charity, including the 'Squid' charity fund he established, Xiaoyu is managing it, and he seldom appears in charity matters.

Take over the itinerary from Mo Nu.

He is not very good at socializing, unless it is a particularly important boss-level meeting, Zhao Min or other executives of the company usually attend various meetings and receptions to socialize.

Now Zhao Min arranges a private reception for him?

"Contact me, do you want to ask about the charity party?" In the holographic video, Zhao Min spoke as soon as he appeared.
