Chapter 246 We Have to Do Something First

Can you understand? No, it should be "Can you not understand?"

After just a quick thought, Peter Schultz accepted Qiao Yu's explanation.

As an idol, of course, whatever he said was right. The important thing was that Qiao Yu did not lie to him and was even very honest.

Children from single-parent families may have slightly extreme personalities, and adults all over the world can understand that!
Oh, by the way, Qiao Yu is only seventeen years old, which is the time in a person's life when he is most sensitive and has the strongest self-esteem. This is a BUFF superposition.

Although Microsoft is his current partner, Peter Schultz feels that what Qiao Yu said is right from a logical point of view.

A world-class company was negotiating with a child from a single-parent family and got angry.

It is indeed not very fair to use the results of previous investment, which have not been very successful so far, to suppress the other party.

Although Microsoft, in a sense, is one of the financial sponsors of his research.

But before he could say a few words of comfort, Qiao Yu became passionate: "On this point, Peter, I even want to criticize you! You Westerners are probably still immersed in the glory of the past and are too arrogant!
Microsoft's release of the so-called new chip at this time is a provocation. They want to tell me through stories that even if they don't cooperate with me, they are still ahead of the world. I don't know what others think, but I don't like it.

I am not a mature and steady person, and I don’t know how to keep a low profile. I look at the world with kindness. When my kindness is not responded to, I will be very angry. Then I will fight back against any unkindness in my own way. ”

Qiao Yu's words even made Peter Schultz begin to reflect on whether he was a proud person.

It seems to be true.

But most importantly, he felt that he had no right to be arrogant in front of Qiao Yu.

"Okay, Qiao Yu, how are you going to fight back?"

"You still don't understand me, Peter. If I knew how to fight back, why would I ask you? I would have responded directly. Peter, don't you understand? I am in a state of impotent rage! So you will help me, right?"

"Impotent rage?"

After repeating this word, Peter Schultz felt that it was somewhat inconsistent with Qiao Yu's temperament. However, he still said subconsciously: "Of course, Qiao Yu, we are friends, I will definitely stand on your side."

"Haha, Peter, I know I can trust you at any time. You are definitely my most trustworthy friend, no doubt about it!"

When he heard this sentence on the phone, Peter Schultz felt inexplicably emotional.

No matter from which angle, he felt that he should be able to trust the sincerity of a 17-year-old boy, because he had also been through that age.

He knew very well how much friends mattered to him when he was a teenager.

"And you know what? American high-tech companies are not good things! They developed by sucking blood from Europe! Think about it, how many famous universities are there in Europe?
University of Bonn, École Normale Supérieure, Oxford, Cambridge, Heidelberg University... there are too many. Have you ever wondered why Europe has such strong higher education resources, but has lost technology companies with global influence?

When I was in middle school, a classmate of mine once said that when a person finds that his efforts are not rewarded, he should consider whether someone is sucking his blood. What do you think? So helping me is also helping you. "

Peter Schultz smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew that what Qiao Yu said made sense.

In fact, many people, including his colleagues at the University of Bonn, have similar views. But what can we do?

That's the mainstream trend of society. After all, this world is not dominated by Europe.

When the vast majority of people have become accustomed to living and working in peace and contentment under the protection of the United States, enjoying the cheap industrial products, energy and food of China, the world's factory, even if they find something wrong, they can only complain a few words.

After a long period of peace, the bones of most people have become soft.

Unlike China, which suffered a century of humiliation, Europe made a lot of money in the last century. When people have no pressure and motivation, they are always prone to self-degradation.

The rise and fall of history is nothing more than this.

It was just a thought, but Peter Schultz naturally couldn't talk to Qiao Yu about this. He just asked with mixed emotions: "Okay, Qiao Yu, what do you want to do?"

"I was thinking, why don't you be the middleman to facilitate our cooperation with the University of Bonn? My mother has a company, Xiyu Technology, which currently mainly provides some algorithm services. Of course, in the future it will definitely dabble in quantum computing.

The new Mersenne primes I released at the conference were built on Xiyu Technology's servers. I have a stake in this company, so I want to hire the team from the University of Bonn that did the quantum walk experiment as consultants to help Xiyu Technology develop new quantum algorithms.

Oh, by the way, when I was doing quantum simulation calculations, I also saw a paper published by a computational quantum many-body physics research team at the University of Bonn. I am also very interested in their research on quantum simulation, and there is room for cooperation between us. So are you willing to be an introducer? "

Qiao Yu expressed his thoughts fluently.

In fact, even if the Microsoft incident had not happened, Qiao Yu was planning to talk to Peter Schultz about cooperation.

There is no doubt that mastering the most advanced production tools can achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, the data accumulated from previous research in various fields is also very important.

It can help his project team to quickly make mistakes in the early stage. Bonn University has done a lot of work in this area, which can help them quickly make up for the shortcomings of the project team's early database.

Although domestic universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences also have related research, for Qiao Yu, it is very easy to retrieve those domestic data.

He has a good relationship with the domestic scientific research community, especially with the people who manage various natural science research funds - at least he thinks he is very close.

Moreover, most of the relevant research in China is funded by various scientific research funds. He is now working on a national key project. When he wants to use domestic data, he can easily find someone to help coordinate.

For example, Zheng Xiwen who has always been by his side.

It is more difficult to obtain foreign resources.

However, Qiao Yu always felt that as long as he expanded his vision, these would not be a problem. After all, he now had many friends internationally, and they were all friends with great influence in the academic world.

Things turned out just as he had imagined. After listening to Qiao Yu's idea, Peter Schultz agreed without much hesitation.

He even breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Peter Schultz is still cooperating with Microsoft. It is obviously not a good idea to confront Microsoft directly at this time.

At his age, it is impossible for him to be as unscrupulous and happy to take revenge as Qiao Yu. After all, he represents not only himself, but a team composed of many people.

"Don't worry. As a friend, I can still help you with this. I happen to be familiar with many professors in the School of Physics. I'll go over there this afternoon and ask them about their intentions for you."

"Thank you, Peter, I knew you would be a good friend!" "Actually, you don't have to thank me."

Peter Schulz said truthfully: "As far as I know, professors who do quantum physics research throughout the University of Bonn are very interested in your Qiao Yu modal space. I think they will be very happy to have this opportunity to work with you."

As he was talking, Peter Schultz couldn't help laughing: "You know what? Maybe I can get a lot of thanks from them this afternoon. So you don't have to thank me."

"Oh, really? Then you must help me thank them. Do you know why I first thought of cooperating with you and the University of Bonn?

Besides because I know you are my best friend, I also know that you are the only Germans in Europe who are still a little tough. As for universities in other countries...

Haha, I’m really afraid that when they hear that they are going to go against a big American company like Microsoft, their legs will go weak and they will fall to the ground and won’t be able to get up!

Don’t think I’m just talking nonsense! You can ask me about my high school history exam and I got full marks. Do you know why? Because I was already familiar with world history in middle school! "

Although what Qiao Yu said was a bit exaggerated, Peter Schultz also knew that Qiao Yu was most likely flattering him, but the words still made him puff out his chest unconsciously.

After all, compared to what he said just now, Qiao Yu's words really made him feel comfortable.

National self-esteem sounds very vague, but in fact, as long as the history exceeds a certain period of time, the ancestors have been wealthy, and the country is not doing too badly now, it will be more or less deeply rooted in the blood of the people.

Germany happens to have all three.

After all, it was once part of the Roman Empire, the German Empire and the Third Reich, and since the day of unification, it has been the industrial center of the whole of Europe.

Although it is indeed in decline now, it is still a big brother-like figure in the whole of Europe.

So Peter Schultz still has this sense of pride in his heart.

In particular, this recognition was no longer limited to personal friendship, but rose to the recognition of the entire nation and race. This made him even have a little resistance to Microsoft in his heart.

Of course, given Peter Schultz's status, it is impossible for anyone to say such words in front of him and make him feel this way.

But this person is Qiao Yu.

He is not only the youngest and most famous mathematician of the time, but also a genius recognized by Peter Schultz.

It is indeed very comfortable to hear such words said by such a person in such a confident tone.

"No need to explain so much, Qiao Yu. I have always believed in you. Just like you said, we are friends. Since you know Germany so well, you should know that our culture is different from Italy. Friends can definitely trust each other."

"Haha, then it's settled! With your help, I feel more confident now! We are good friends, so I won't be polite to you! Next time you come to China, I will treat you to a meal."

"it is good!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Peter Schultz felt that his heart could not calm down for a long time. A sense of mission arose spontaneously in his heart.

No matter from which angle you consider it, even considering national justice, he should be on the side of Qiao Yu this time.

He let out a breath, picked up the phone again and was about to dial, but suddenly put it back. In order to show that he took the matter seriously, he decided to go there in person.

……

Huaxia, Yanbei University, after Qiao Yu hung up the phone, he sat in front of the computer.

When Peter Schultz was told on the phone that he was in a state of impotent rage, he was probably half sincere.

After all, he had indeed been a little slack in recent times. Of course, Qiao Yu thought this was normal. He couldn't be allowed to act like a robot.

Even a strict mentor like Mr. Yuan told him that one must strike a balance between relaxation and tension when doing scientific research and not keep the string in his mind too tight.

However, Qiao Yu did a lot of work when thinking about Qiao Yu modal space.

After all, he created Qiao Yu modal space in order to replace Hilbert space, so he needed to consider that space could be more suitable for describing complex quantum systems, especially multi-body quantum systems and unconventional quantum states.

To solve these problems, more efficient mathematical tools are needed. He did optimize the algorithm in this regard, which is why he was able to use the small computer room of Xiyu Technology Company to calculate the Mersenne prime number.

As for the subsequent large-scale optimization work, he originally planned to let other members of the project team work together to complete it after some running-in.

After all, his current method, to put it bluntly, still uses the time evolution of the wave function to simulate the calculation. This will inevitably lead to interference in the calculation.

It is certainly possible to continue to optimize, directly replacing the wave function with more efficient elements to handle complex arithmetic problems and interact with quantum fields.

These are obviously the advantages of the generalized modal axiom system. Simpler mathematical operations can greatly reduce the number and complexity of states that need to be operated in quantum simulation calculations.

But now that someone is challenging his authority, Qiao Yu feels that he can no longer be lazy.

It is impossible to come up with a more advanced algorithm in a short period of time, but it should be possible to come up with something to scare the other side.

Qiao Yu is thinking about cryptocurrency.

Although current capabilities cannot perfectly run the Grover algorithm and the Shor algorithm, and cannot cause an overall blow to the cryptocurrency system itself, we can still think of ways to use smart contracts for these cryptocurrency exchanges.

After all, mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges still use traditional encryption technology to ensure signature security.

Although it is impossible to directly interfere with the operation of cryptocurrency, that is, the security of the blockchain itself, as long as the encryption system can be controlled, the contract content can be modified and the execution of the contract can be controlled.

The only problem is that even though this is the most challenging part of cryptocurrency trading, Drizzle Technology’s small computer room is not enough to accomplish this.

However, this could not be done secretly, otherwise it would touch upon the criminal law knowledge he had learned.

So Qiao Yu thought of Zheng Xiwen again.

Whenever there is a problem, he would go to Uncle Zheng. This has become Qiao Yu's habitual thinking...
