He added: "The construction of the current production line has started a week ago. There are a total of 6 production lines. It is estimated that 260 production lines can be opened in 6 days. By then, the original version of the client can be fully mass-produced."
Li Linfei listened to his report, nodded one by one, and asked, "How many shipments will we have in three years?"
Yang He estimated for a moment, and replied: "In three years, it takes one or two months to develop a production line, and it takes more than two years to remove this part of the time. The annual shipment is about 1400 million sets, and about 3000 million in three years. Set shipments!"
"3000 million." Li Linfei also weighed roughly in his mind for a moment, nodded slightly to himself, and muttered: "3000 million sets are enough to meet the popularization needs of the first stage."
"The other thing is." Yang He added: "The client cost of the Origin Edition has been suppressed to the extreme, and it still hasn't reached below 4000 US dollars. The final minimum cost of each client can only be compressed at 4260 US dollars."
"It's almost enough. If you can't guarantee the quality, you'd rather increase the cost." Li Linfei reminded.
"understand!"
The current "virtual world" project is expected to be launched on the market in three years, and the time is almost extremely tight, even though there have been four years of project research and development.
But they are almost perfecting the means of production and improving the core technology. The construction of base stations, the production and manufacturing of hardware, the laying of virtual network hardware, etc., are almost useless.
Three years later, it still seems very compact.
Burnaby City, Vancouver, Canada.
The purpose of Future Technology sending people to Canada this time is very clear about quantum computers.
The data storage center equipped with conventional computers simply cannot "accommodate" the powerful data in the virtual world, and its huge calculation and processing and space requirements cannot be achieved by conventional computers.
The first thousand 710 chapter five D-Wave company
You must know that even the "supercomputer", which currently ranks first in the world's computing power, carries an extremely streamlined virtual space, and it can't even last for 200 seconds. To accommodate users around the world, various data and models must be maintained. Forever, there is no alternative but a quantum computer.
At this moment, in the satellite city of Vancouver, Canada, Fern Brownell, CEO of D-Wave, and several executives appeared outside the gate of the company headquarters.
Not long ago, the company received a request from Future Technology. Fern Brownell was undoubtedly very surprised by the request of such a huge world giant company.
Although it is a leader in the industry, it is necessary to be in awe in the face of such a huge capital. You must know that the current value is only around 80 billion US dollars.
Although the field in which the company is located appears to be tall and high, when facing capital, any field has the same status.
Even Wall Street cannot give an exact valuation for today's future technology. If there is a valuation, future technology will be priceless, because it is labeled "future", and the future is priceless .
At this moment, before the people from Future Technology came to the company, an executive standing outside the gate asked Brownell: "Sir, do you think Future Technology wants to invest in our company this time? "
"Investment is unlikely. The government will not easily agree to foreign investment, and the United States will not agree. After all, it is a Huaxia company, and the quantum field is a cutting-edge technology. However, the other party's visit must be for quantum computers." Browne Er said with certainty.
He is still a little proud in his heart at the moment. Future Technology is the most famous technology giant in the world. Which of its products affects the current human life style? It can also be reflected from the side that it can be favored by such a giant. value and future.
"And!" Brownell looked at his colleagues and said with a smile, "Big companies, especially the super giants in the technology field, have a common problem."
"Common problem?" The colleague looked at Brownell curiously.
"Arrogance!" Brownell said succinctly.
He added: "Arrogance is a common problem that all super giants have. They either directly take you under their command, or they will be dismissive of your technology, especially the research and development capabilities of future technological horrors, so I think we have them here. Necessary, but definitely not irreplaceable."
"I will never believe that a technology giant group company that has created countless future technologies has no knowledge of quantum computers. Don't forget what the first pot of gold and the first product of future technologies are. In addition, the founder himself It's the top person in the field of computing."
Having said that, Brownell looked forward, and his attention was attracted.
"Here we come!" A convoy of trains was slowly approaching. Inside the car, Cheng Ze on the back seat looked out the window, and a four-story building came into view. The sign on the front was very eye-catching. He knew, This is the destination.
Fern Brownell approached the convoy at a moderate speed, and Cheng Ze saw the other party approaching with an eager smile after getting off the car.
"Cheng! Welcome!" Brownell smiled eagerly and offered his hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Cheng Ze smiled professionally, and the two shook hands for a short moment. Brownel stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, and the two walked side by side.
"Cheng! I didn't expect that the first vice president of Future Technology would come here in person, and I feel terrified." Brownell said humbly.
Cheng Ze, who showed a modest smile on the surface, was criticizing in his heart. Who said foreigners can't flatter?
In front of capital, the most awe-inspiring existence of Westerners, look at the performance of this bearded man!
Greeting Cheng Ze personally to the VIP room of the company, and exchanging a few words of courtesy, Brownel said, "I wonder why you are coming to our company this time?"
Cheng Ze said with a smile: "The project under research is very interested in future technology, and we have also dabbled in it. However, due to the large number of projects in the company, a series of resources such as engineers and R&D personnel in related fields have not invested too much energy in the field of quantum computers. , so here we are."
Cheng Ze's words undoubtedly give people a strong sense of self-confidence, which is equivalent to telling you that my future technology is not because I don't have the ability to play with quantum computers, but because I don't have the time.
Brownell sweated in his heart. Is this the self-confidence of a super giant?And a series of achievements in future technology left him no room to refute.
Moreover, he also heard a key message from the content of the other party's speech, that future technology has been involved in the quantum field.
Cheng Ze continued: "I visited your company this time to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two parties. Future Technology is very interested in quantum processors."
"I think that the combination of some of the achievements of future technology in the field of quantum computers, if we can reach a cooperation, may be able to create a real quantum computer in the world."
"I would like to hear more about it!" Brownell breathed a little short of breath when he heard it. A quantum computer in the true sense is his lifelong dream and the goal of the entire company. The cooperation invitation from a technology giant, at this moment, Brownell Nell wasn't calm either.
"No, of course I will not doubt the company's technology research and development capabilities. I am full of confidence in the possible cooperation between us. Please allow me to invite you to visit first to get to know each other better."
"Then interrupt!" Cheng Ze laughed.
The two sides talked for less than 10 minutes in the VIP reception room, and Brownell took Cheng Ze to the company's R&D laboratory.
"Contemporary scientists, entrepreneurs and major high-tech companies all agree that quantum computing technology will soon usher in a quantum leap breakthrough and lead all mankind to an incredible future."
On the way to the laboratory, Brownell talked to Cheng Ze eloquently. In fact, he only knew that Cheng Ze himself was a top practitioner in the sales field, but Brownell paid more attention to his identity because he was a future leader. The identity of the first vice president of technology.
But everyone has overlooked one point. Cheng Ze was a top student in the computer field when he was in university, but he didn't find a suitable job after graduation, so he switched to sales, which is why he was asked to come.
Along the way, Cheng Ze didn't say anything, and simply acted like a layman, nodding his head like a layman.
Brownell seemed a little excited and didn't notice this, he was still thinking about his achievements in order to let the other party know.
The first thousand 710 chapter six quantum computer
Trying to explain it to him with the common sense of basic science, he said: "Quantum computers are not a novel concept today. In fact, the physicist Richard Feynman in the 80s of the last century had already proposed this idea. .”
"He theoretically described to us for the first time the possible increase in the computing speed of quantum computers. However, theoretical physics is obviously the first step and cannot be involved in practical applications. Richard Feynman also left before entering the experimental stage. However, the latecomers took over his mission and continued to advance and explore in this field."
"Before talking about quantum computers, we have to talk about conventional computers. For conventional computers, there are two options when processing information, which can be vividly described as on and off."
"That is, either 1 or 0, the processing power of conventional conventional computers depends on the number of binary transistors in the processor."
Speaking of this, Brownell looked at Cheng Ze, and for a moment, looked at the road ahead, playing with body language, and continued to explain: "But in the subatomic world of quantum physics, in the In this microcosm, subatoms have volatility, and you can regard them as particles or waves.”
"At the same time, he can be regarded as both a particle and a wave. Isn't it strange that both exist at the same time?"
"In the field of quantum mechanics, we call this volatility a superposition phenomenon. In this way, a quantum unit can also be a single 0, a 1, or both 0 and 1."
