Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Not only some Chinese technology tycoons are panicking, but also none of the overseas technology tycoons are not panicking.

After all, the development of China's Internet is now fierce and strong enough. Unicorns are born in China one after another, and the profits of China's Internet giants are not weak. Everyone was already a little scared, but now it’s good. China has even mastered quantum computer technology.

The world's first quantum computer was born in China, which seems incredible to developed countries in Europe and the United States.

But because it was a global press conference and it had official endorsement from China, it showed that the news was true. So after being surprised and shocked, I gradually accepted this reality.

Whether it is luck or strength, since China has taken the lead in developing quantum computers, China can basically secure its position as the leader of the next era. It is difficult to shake. Then consider China’s advantages in labor costs and industrial scale. The advantage is simply disappointing.

For those developing countries, backward countries or small countries that are not even qualified to participate in this quantum computer technology competition, it does not matter who sits in that position. Anyway, they are all destined to be stripped of their wool and cut off their leeks.

Even compared to the ugly appearance of the United States, the world has always been full of kind and talkative rabbits, but many countries are happy to see it in the news.

After all, China has always emphasized win-win cooperation! Look at how many roads and railways China has built in Africa. Even if African countries have no money, they can just sell iron ore or other resources to China and then pay.

I believe that in the new industrial revolution, China will not turn its back on others.

But the United States is different. American scientists have been working hard for decades, making the United States the first echelon in the field of quantum computers for a long time. It is also recognized that quantum computers will be born in the United States first.

But the result is that the Chinese quantum computer, which they have always looked down upon, succeeded first and successfully developed the world's first true quantum computer.

This is a huge blow to American scientists.

The IBM Quantum Computing Center is filled with gloom and gloom.

Even though several days have passed, the dark clouds still have not dispersed.

Rometty, who serves as the president of IBM, is losing her temper: "In terms of strength, our two sides are equal in terms of numbers, but in terms of cutting-edge combat power, we are at least twice stronger than China's! In terms of time, our quantum computing center was established early, early We are preparing for the research and development of quantum computers! In terms of investment, the company invests a lot of money every year, and there are even some professional experimental equipment that are only circulated within the United States, and China has never even seen it!"

"We have the upper hand in terms of strength, time, and money, but that's it. You have always said that you can create a true quantum computer at any time, but until now, you have not come up with the world's first true quantum computer. The quantum computer was not born here, but was born in China on the other side of the Pacific!" Rometty thought about the continuous decline in IBM's stock price in the past few days, which has now fallen by 10%. The market is generally pessimistic about IBM.

As the head of IBM, Rometty, who has been in charge of IBM for almost six years, is under tremendous pressure.

As the first female head of IBM, Rometty has been ranked among the most powerful women in the world over the years and has never fallen out of the top 20. Rometty, who graduated from Northwestern University in the United States and came from a poor background, joined IBM shortly after graduation as a systems analyst. She also presided over the acquisition of the consulting department of PricewaterhouseCoopers by IBM, the 'blue giant', in 2002. Later, she became the first female head of IBM. Rometty's abilities are undoubtedly outstanding.

You must know that China has always emphasized that women hold half of the sky, that men and women receive equal pay for equal work, and men and women are relatively equal. In the United States, there is no such thing as equality between men and women. The idea that men and women have equal pay for equal work is completely nonsense.

"Do you know what people outside are saying about us now? They say we are trash, people who are paid to do nothing!" Luo Ruilan was almost cheating. She pointed at a group of experts and cursed: "I need a A reason, a reason that can prevent the directors of the company from expelling you all!"

In fact, Rometty does not want to lay off employees. She believes that although IBM's quantum computing center has not developed the world's first true quantum computer, there is no doubt that IBM's quantum computing center is still in the lead compared to others. .

But she was under great pressure, both from society and from the directors.

Sometimes Rometty is so angry that she doesn't know since when. IBM employees have become accustomed to enjoying coffee leisurely and fishing happily when they go to work. When they get off work, they are sure to leave as soon as the time comes. Not a single one is left.

work overtime! ?

NO

Seeing a group of people with their heads lowered, no one was willing to stand up and say that they could take responsibility, and then gave a timetable for developing a quantum computer, a flash of disappointment flashed in Rometty's eyes.

Once upon a time, American researchers were always full of passion. In order to develop a new technology, they often worked overtime, and in order to test a performance, they would even stay up all night until dawn.

How many researchers rented a garage when they started their business, and then built great products in the garage, creating great countries one after another.

But now, looking at this group of researchers, the youngest one is over forty years old, and there is no researcher under forty years old.

A sense of powerlessness arose in Luo Ruilan's heart. Could it be that BIM, a century-old giant, cannot withstand the erosion of time and will eventually sink and turn into the dust of history? ?

Rometty sighed and left the quantum computing center. The group of researchers chatted quietly and went to get a cup of coffee.

The head of the Quantum Center, Bob, called several key personnel. Bob took out the resignation application he had written long ago from his pocket and said to everyone: "James, after I leave, this research center will be handed over to you. You must work together to support James and help him lead the team to continue to develop quantum computers."

"After the successful development of quantum computers, our deployment should be the same as that of China, committed to miniaturizing quantum computers." Bob said: "According to my speculation, the miniaturization of quantum computers will be the next trend. Who can Whoever is the first to realize it and then bring quantum computers into every household will be at the forefront of the times."

Bob, 60 years old, is an authoritative expert in quantum computer research. When IBM established the Quantum Computing Center, it invited Bob to be the head of the Quantum Computing Center. Bob is very clear that the IBM Quantum Computing Center did not take the lead in developing a quantum computer. Someone must stand up and take responsibility and become a scapegoat. Otherwise, the board of directors will not let it go, and neither will the shareholders.

And he, as the head of the Quantum Computing Center, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Director, what are your plans after you resign?" James asked somewhat complicatedly.

Speaking of which, 50-year-old James is considered Bob’s disciple. He has learned a lot from Bob. Without Bob, he would not be where he is today.

"Haha, I am already a 60-year-old old man. I have been working hard these years and have no time to spend with my children and Alice. When I quit my job, I can also accompany Alice to the park for a walk and go shopping. Tease my grandkids,” Bob said with a smile.

"I will pay attention to the news and hope to see your good news soon! Guys, the research center is handed over to you, I'm leaving!" Bob patted James on the shoulder, hugged everyone, and then left .

An hour later, IBM held a press conference, claiming that IBM's Quantum Computing Center had not developed a quantum computer so far because of improper command by Bob, the director of the IBM Quantum Computing Center. Bob had officially resigned and appointed James is the director of IBM's Quantum Computing Center.

As soon as the news came out, the entire quantum computer field was in an uproar!

Who is Bob? He is a very famous person in the field of quantum computers in the entire world. Except for a few people, Bob is an authoritative expert in this field. And such a top guy in the industry stands like this. Come out and take responsibility! ?

You know, from now on, it will be difficult for Bob to find a job in the American company, because everyone knows that Bob made a big mistake, causing IBM, the 'Blue Giant', to suffer heavy losses. No company dares to bet on Bob. If Boneng doesn't make a mistake in his own company, the entire company may be ruined if he makes a mistake.

It may be that IBM needs shareholders to vent their anger on Bob, or someone may be adding fuel to the flames. Anyway, various gossips continue to appear on Twitter and Facebook, such as Bob condoning his subordinates' absenteeism, such as unreasonable planning of research progress, such as Waste of R\u0026D money, etc.

For a time, Bob became a street rat, and everyone shouted at him to beat him.

Bob didn't even dare to live in his own house. Instead, he took his lover and hid in a villa in the countryside. He even cut off the Internet at home, and then slowly enjoyed the life of an elderly person.

As a leader in the field of quantum computers, Bob has made a lot of money over the years. The money he makes is enough for him to retire without worries. Moreover, he also has a small farm. Although the farm is not very profitable, it is not very profitable. As for making his later life boring.

While the United States is filled with lively indignation, China is celebrating the New Year lively. On New Year's Eve, every household is having a reunion dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala, family reunions, and laughter from time to time.

Today is a special day for me, so I’ll add a special chapter! I’ll update around 10 o’clock tomorrow, I’m really exhausted today!
