Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 806 - 271: As the Years Pass By (Part 2)
Just as Qiao Yu said, as long as Quantum Dominance can be seized first, the opposition will eventually be wary, and that’s already a win.
Whether it’s a big win, a medium win, or a small win is another matter.
The best result would naturally be if the space-based denial system could be smoothly launched, and Huaxia’s perception of the entire Earth becomes unrivaled, while the quantum simulation computer is successfully developed and enters the commercial field.
A medium win would be if one of the two projects succeeded, which would be enough for Huaxia to gain prestige globally.
As for a small win...
Well, if both projects fail, the research results from the projects could still keep Quantum Dominance firmly for half a century.
Yes, as long as this strategic advantage can be maintained for half a century, it would be enough for Huaxia, and from a time perspective, there’s even a great margin.
According to current international development trends, whether Huaxia’s largest competitors can remain stable in twenty or thirty years is unknown.
Although there’s always a desire to scrape some money off the big tycoons to pay debts and control inflation, the current situation doesn’t look very effective.
The massive established interest groups of the Empire cannot absorb enough nutrients from outside the Empire, eventually wielding the scythe impartially onto the common populace at home.
At least from a materialist standpoint, resources cannot arise from nothing. To pay debts, resources matching them for exchange are necessary.
Relying solely on financial means to achieve this is evidently too difficult. Especially as bubbles have accumulated too much, and technology struggles to say it remains absolutely ahead.
Not exaggerating, during this period, those globally spotlighted high-tech companies hardly dare to tell stories anymore.
The once-hyped Metaverse revolution still faces limitations from software and hardware, showing no dawn of hope at the moment.
Artificial intelligence... Huaxia is still eyeing from the sidelines.
Although West University can continue to claim that they are the largest AI nation besides Huaxia, with technology and theory leading distinctly, the presence of competition completely undermines the persuasion.
As for the former trump card Quantum Dominance. This technology has become a forbidden term internationally.
Even though a bunch of high-tech companies in West University have collaborated with Qiao Yu’s project team, and companies like Google, IBM, Intel, NVIDIA have dispatched research teams to Huaxia for learning based on previous contracts.
But to be honest, for the whole world, the current extent of development in quantum simulation calculation remains a mystery.
This is something those in finance at West University have the most say about.
Whether it’s those financial trading markets, or large financial firms like JPMorgan Chase, they are well aware. Even though through the mediation of several major tech companies, the main global financial market trading pages are already marked with Xi Yu Technology’s LOGO.
To the public, this signifies that the engineering team led by Qiao Yu has begun to provide appropriate financial transaction security services to these main financial markets.
But those in power know the truth; there’s no such service at all! Even several major exchanges released announcements about server upgrades.
Actually, it was just a few tech companies swapping some server equipment — mainly because the protection fee first goes into their hands to earn some, thus they cooperated in this performance.
Of course, spending some money for safety is no problem. For these financial giants, investing in these high-tech enterprises is one of their strategies.
As long as these tech companies work hard, be it hardware protection or software protection, spending money on developing network security defense measures in the Quantum Era is fine.
But months have passed since Qiao Yu last held a public livestream, and though their high-tech has cooperated with Qiao Yu and paid the protection fee, the feedback hasn’t been satisfying.
To this day, many high-tech companies in collaboration with Qiao Yu haven’t figured out how Qiao Yu’s team could resolve the wallet address of the exchange in ten minutes during the broadcast and crack the protocol, all without knowing how.
No clue, at least the scientists in the research institutes of these high-tech companies domestically in West University remain clueless.
They can’t even criticize Qiao Yu.
Because when signing the contract with Qiao Yu initially, their dispatched team to Huaxia was mainly for learning theoretical knowledge.
Yet this part’s feedback is actually quite positive. According to feedback from scientists at Huaxia Yanbei International Mathematics Center, they did genuinely learn related theories with Qiao Yu’s team.
The only issue is the theory of quantum simulation calculation is relatively profound, requiring complete understanding and mastery of Qiao Yu Modal Space to develop related work.
To fully master Qiao Yu Modal Space, one must begin learning from the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System.
If wanting to fully comprehend the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, it’s obviously not that simple.
It’s not just reading one or two papers and feeling one understands it; they have to take exams too. If the exams aren’t passed, they might even need to pack up and leave.
Moreover, these scientists have no complaints because Qiao Yu’s requirements are like this, with no favoritism shown.
Frequent dialogues ensure they clearly know that the professors in Qiao Yu’s project team are also subjected to assessment of basic knowledge mastery progress and keeping up with research pace; otherwise, they must leave without any conditions, which is even harder for them.
Afternoon tea? Nonexistent...
They were given an hour’s lunch break, got to enjoy weekends off, and even allowed these foreign scientists to feel warmth and gratitude.
Because professors in Huaxia with research tasks not only had no lunch break, but even had to hold group meetings with students on weekends to track progress.
There’s no choice; as they say, Monday’s group meeting is the most important. Not only would Qiao Yu participate personally, but he would also inevitably inquire into the previous week’s work progress. Failure to meet standards means not only doing self-reflection but possibly elimination.
They’re entirely roll crazy!
This situation leaves these foreign scientists unsure of how to report back home. Truly, they’ve actually been drawn into rolling enough and started sacrificing weekend time for learning, but that foundational Number Theory is not easy to master.
Many feel these fundamental Mathematics concepts are too profound and shouldn’t have been assigned to them, but to dedicated Mathematics personnel instead.
Theory guiding practice is theoretically sound, but the problem is the theory is too difficult to learn. Yet there are many impatient individuals hoping they immediately comprehend and apply their learning...
The outcome is naturally that everyone finds it challenging. For these foreign scientists learning, they can’t criticize Huaxia, since everyone is the same.
Thus, they can only gripe about domestic company leaders who inquire almost weekly.
Can these prominent figures not respect the objective laws of science a little?
If these theories were easy to learn, why would Qiao Yu be hailed by the academic world as a once-in-a-millennium Mathematics genius? Why was he awarded the Fields Medal at seventeen?
Of course, among them, some have various schemes, and some even carry special missions.
But unfortunately, even if they wished to fish out some useful information from the project’s professors, it’s very difficult.
The reason is simple: each team member has a specific task goal. Each person is responsible for their own part.
They only undertake theoretical research; actual quantum simulation calculation implementations are completed in the laboratories of those enterprises, and they don’t have access to specific data.
So topics related to quantum simulation calculation have become forbidden in the financial sphere. No one knows how far the research of quantum simulation calculators has progressed after such a long time, nor does anyone know what stage the space-based denial project has reached.
The world’s most advanced technology project, just like the most famous cat in quantum theory.
Time moves steadfastly forward amidst all sorts of struggles...
