Chapter 271: The Wise Man Has No Difference

“Tsk tsk tsk… You are really amazing, Qiao Yu. I think I have been successful in my life, but I am still far behind you.

Look at this title. Qiao Yu, a leader in Chinese youth science and technology, is sounding the clarion call for a technological counterattack. This title is well-chosen. It makes people excited just by listening to it. “

In Tian Yanzhen’s office, the boss was sitting in front of a large desk, holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking at the news pushed on it, and reading it to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu stood obediently in front of the desk, but his lively eyes were fixed on the tutor’s teacup, waiting for
Flattery is also a technical job, especially now that Director Tian’s threshold is getting higher and higher.

However, Qiao Yu felt that having the newly crowned Fields Medal winner personally pouring tea and water for him should make his mentor happy for the whole day.

After all, he had never done these chores for Director Tian before he won the award. Now that he is a big shot in the academic world, he can do these things for his mentor, and the emotional value must be maximized.

Judge others by yourself.

He will also benefit if the students he trains in the future are so well-behaved and obedient.

For example, an unlucky professor like Lao Xue, who has not recruited many good students until now, probably will never have the chance to experience this wonderful feeling in his life.

But considering Lao Xue’s age, there is still hope…

Yes, Qiao Yu’s mind was not at all on what Tian Yan actually said to him, but on how to quickly make the tutor feel relieved and let him go to work.

Finally, Tian Yanzhen finished reading this flattering article. Feeling dry mouth, he picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. Just as he put the teacup back to its place and was about to continue giving advice to his little disciple, Qiao Yu had already started.

Tian Yanzhen watched Qiao Yu quickly pick up his teacup, fill it with water, and then respectfully place it back on the table.

This disciple was so polite that his mind felt a little blank and he forgot what he wanted to say just now.

“Your daily life, other things…”

Tian Yanzhen originally wanted to say, “Your other abilities haven’t improved, and you just keep flattering others,” but suddenly realized that this statement might be fine when applied to Chen Zhuoyang, but not so appropriate when applied to Qiao Yu.

The most important thing is that Qiao Yu’s well-behaved behavior really benefited him. For a child in his rebellious period to be so respectful to his teacher, it really is impossible to ask for more.

“Anything else? Director Tian?” Qiao Yu asked innocently.

He still has more than three months to go until he turns eighteen, and this trick will no longer work after February next year.

This is how Chinese civilization works. Although in the eyes of parents, a boy is still a child after the age of 18, he is already an adult. If a boy still acts innocent and cute, his parents can’t stand it…

“nothing……”

Tian Yanzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that Qiao Yu had personally added to his cup. It seemed to have an inexplicable fragrance. He was in a good mood and didn’t bother to say anything weird. He just asked unhappily, “You asked those professors to help promote your quantum simulation computer plan, right?”

After hearing this, Qiao Yu immediately started to feel wronged: “No, Director Tian, ​​you think too highly of me, don’t you? How could I have such ability? Don’t you know it even if others don’t know it?
The professors who joined the project team all had independent ideas. How could I influence them? I was young, and usually everyone in the project team discussed things together.

Not to mention that Uncle Zheng and the others were watching. Whatever they wanted to say was their own opinion. How dare I be disrespectful to those uncles, let alone make requests that were not related to the project! “

Tian Yanzhen couldn’t help but glare at Qiao Yu again.

Although this little guy is well-behaved, he never speaks the truth. He discusses everything and dares not be disrespectful to his uncles.

It’s obvious that he is the one who has the final say in the project team!
In every meeting, we have to remind everyone that the members of the project team are not fixed, and those who cannot keep up will be eliminated from the project team.

The professors were all under strict control, and none of them dared to speak out.

Tian Yan really didn’t know how Qiao Yu had the nerve to say this in front of him. Did he really think he didn’t know what happened in the research center?
“Okay, I don’t care how your project team operates. You know how much you respect the professors in your project team. But since the boss has come to me, I have to ask a few questions.

They sent out a consultation letter to all walks of life to collect everyone’s opinions for reference. You took the opportunity to actively promote it, making everyone think that this project is set to be launched…”

When Qiao Yu heard this, he got anxious and immediately said confidently, “This is nonsense! Am I that kind of person? How many people are optimistic about my project!

You don’t know that Microsoft, Google, Intel, they are all interested! They want to pay to join, but I won’t give them a chance!

Really, yesterday, Professor John Martinis from Google asked me about this matter and asked me if the team they sent to study and investigate could join this project.

He even argued with me that if we really wanted to design this new computer, we should work with the Quantum Alliance. I flatly rejected his argument. I told him that I didn’t even know if this project could be approved. Guess what he said?
He said that all the alliance units could contribute money! If the alliance refused to contribute money, Google could sponsor my research. He also said that they had many existing laboratories.

If we don’t want to do it in the United States, they can move the laboratory to China, or build a new laboratory in China. Hey, if I really had your intention, I would have publicized this matter a long time ago, didn’t I? “

Qiao Yu said confidently.

As a result, the well-reasoned speech only resulted in Tian Yanzhen rolling his eyes and asking a question.

“You didn’t? I guess you didn’t even listen to the article I just read, did you? It was described in great detail. A foreign company wanted to invest in your project, but you flatly rejected it! Wasn’t that what you leaked?”

Qiao Yu was stunned.

Well, he certainly didn’t listen carefully just now. He didn’t even use his ability to multitask.

Mainly because those gossips were too boring, and the headlines were all shocking, so he didn’t bother to pay attention to what they said in detail. It was nothing more than a few sentences.

News for ordinary people cannot possibly describe the advantages and disadvantages as clearly as academic papers, and most of them are just random praises.

But this didn’t bother Qiao Yu, as he was the best at coaxing his supervisor. “It must be Professor Zheng! I’ve already told him not to spread the word. He must have told someone else! But Director Tian, ​​please don’t scold him, Professor Zheng is actually doing this for the good of the project.”

We are all members of the project team, so we definitely hope that our project can be taken more seriously. This is understandable. Don’t worry, I will emphasize confidentiality at the next meeting to ensure that professors will not talk nonsense! “

Tian Yanzhen looked confused and asked, “Which Professor Zheng are you talking about?”

“Professor Zheng Zefeng, he is still in the Institute of Advanced Studies of Yujiang University, and he studied under Professor Zhang Shuwen. He is a rising star in the theoretical mathematics community of China, and he is very capable.”

Qiao Yu introduced himself and then explained: “I have only told Professor Zheng about what I talked about with John Martinis. I haven’t told anyone else, so it must have been Professor Zheng who leaked it.

But it’s understandable, who doesn’t have a few good friends? It must be that a colleague or friend called to ask, and Professor Zheng said a few more words, and then others listened. You know, in the era of self-media, everyone likes to make big news…”

Qiao Yu chattered on and on.

Anyway, he pushed all the responsibility away.

It’s not that Qiao Yu doesn’t dare to take responsibility, but he’s afraid that his tutor will nag him. Besides, this kind of thing has no consequences and will not have any negative impact on Lao Zheng’s future.

This is true.

Tian Yanzhen specifically called Qiao Yu here to give him some advice, so that the kid wouldn’t get too cocky.

After talking about this, Tian Yanzhen didn’t know what to say anymore, so he just got to the point.

“Okay, you don’t have to explain so much to me. Whether it is publicized or not is not important. What is most important is whether the work can be done well. Give me the truth today…”

At this point, Tian Yanzhen’s expression also became serious, and he asked: “If this thing really gets started, how confident are you that it will succeed?

Think about it before you answer! If this matter is really decided, the impact will be huge! This is related to the future R&D investment of dozens of Chinese companies totaling thousands or even trillions.

I am not trying to put pressure on you, but you have to know that scientific research may not matter in any other way, but once the direction is wrong, the damage caused can be irreparable!

It’s not just a waste of money, but also precious development time. You must take this on, or you’ll be under a lot of pressure in the future!”

Tian Yanzhen said earnestly, his concern was evident in his words.

Qiao Yu is working on a big project, and as a mentor, he is very happy and is definitely willing to support it.

But having risen to this level, he could feel tremendous pressure, let alone Qiao Yu, the initiator of this project.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, but as he analyzed, if the research ultimately finds that this direction has no future, then what will Qiao Yu, the initiator of the project, do in the future?
Once such a large project is approved and officially launched, it can be said that many people have put their future and destiny on the line. To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth their life and property!

Tian Yan really didn’t mind endorsing his favorite student. He was already nearly seventy years old. There was nothing to say about the future.

But Qiao Yu is only seventeen years old, and life can be said to have not yet begun! Tian Yan really doesn’t want Qiao Yu to be so radical now.

After all, what Qiao Yu lacks now is not time, but experience. Even this time, Mr. Yuan stood on Tian Yanzhen’s side.

The two old men may not care about their own reputation, but they don’t want Qiao Yu to shoulder such a heavy burden so early.

Qiao Yu could feel this kindness, but it was obvious that he didn’t care about this kind of pressure, and he felt that his mentor’s worries were completely unnecessary.

So he quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Director Tian! I know what’s going on. I know you’re doing this for my own good, but whether it’s the space-based program or the quantum simulation computer, we’ve done careful research on them.

I also know that the live broadcast does not prove that a universal quantum simulation computer will definitely work, but there is one thing I am 100% sure of. With the implementation of these two projects, we will be at least half a century ahead of the world in quantum simulation computing!
Half a century of quantum supremacy! Director Tian! Even if the universal simulation quantum computer is not built, but we have the advantage of quantum supremacy, we will not lose! This is what I have proved!
No matter if those companies have invested tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or hundreds of billions! I can at least guarantee that they will not lose money! If they can’t make it, at least they won’t lose money. If they can make it, they can make a lot of money! That’s why there is such a big fuss!
How can there be stupid executives who can build a company to a scale that can be specially notified by the superiors! They understand the risk of investment better than those of us who are engaged in academics. If they did not see such a big opportunity, how could they have such great motivation? Why would the outside world be so excited?

Besides, the fact that the Ministry of Science and Technology is willing to issue this document is enough to show that they recognize quantum simulation computing technology, right? To put it bluntly, everyone knows it clearly! As long as we can grasp the future Internet security in this wave, even if we waste some money and time, no one will make a fuss about it.

Whether it is Google or Microsoft, whether they are hardware or software developers, are they afraid that we will really develop a quantum universal computer? No, they are afraid that we will really be ahead in quantum computing!
According to their analysis, it will take at least ten years for quantum computers to replace the current classical electronic computers! It is not an urgent problem for them to solve! All we have to fight is the time difference!
As for the individual…mentor, tens of billions of dollars spent can support many people! Even if there is no result, it will not be completely wasted, at least it can stimulate consumption, right? “

Qiao Yu’s tone was quite disdainful.

Before he thought of doing this, when he enthusiastically explained the grand blueprint for the future to Zheng Xiwen, he might not have thought about it so carefully.

But by the time he began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter, he had already taken into account the worst-case scenario.

For Qiao Yu, before doing anything, it is his normal practice to consider what will happen if he fails.

He doesn’t have such noble moral sentiments that he would risk everything to do something.

After all, it’s just to leave Microsoft with no way out. There’s no need to sacrifice his future for the rest of his life, right?
It is difficult to build a universal quantum simulation computer, but in the research process, it is not that difficult to truly achieve quantum supremacy. This is the reason why Qiao Yu dares to officially launch this project!

There is a guarantee!

Similarly, Tian Yanzhen suddenly felt enlightened after hearing these words…

He and Mr. Yuan were just confused by the situation! As expected, he didn’t have to worry about Qiao Yu at all. This student of his was not only a person with a superior IQ, but also a brilliant person among the brilliant.

This guy has a clear grasp of everyone’s psychology from top to bottom…
