Top academic

Chapter 273: Years Pass (Part )
No matter how unhappy he was, at least he graduated. On the same day he received his diplomas from both sides, Qiao Yu received a letter of employment from the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

The letter of appointment had obviously been prepared long ago. Less than an hour after receiving the letter of appointment, Qiao Yu's resume was updated on the website of Yanbei International Mathematics Center.

No chance was given to any universities or research institutes at all.

For Qiao Yu, this was something that had been agreed upon long ago, so there was nothing to complain about. Not to mention that the research center had not treated him unfairly.

There has never been an 18-year-old full professor in the history of Yanbei University, let alone in the history of the world.

However, considering that Qiao Yu won the Fields Medal at the age of seventeen, there is nothing to publicize about this.

There are always some people in this world who are so unlucky that they only have the appearance of one person, no matter if they are good or bad. Fortunately, Qiao Yu belongs to the good type.

There is nothing more to say next.

For Qiao Yu, who holds the title of full professor, he can enter the school with funding.

Although when promoting the project to the outside world, neither the space-based denial project nor the quantum simulation computing project mentioned what specific position Qiao Yu held.

But the academic community is naturally well aware that both projects are centered on Qiao Yu's team.

With the position of full professor, Qiao Yu can focus on scientific research.

Of course, Tian Yanzhen did not miss any of the treatment that Qiao Yu had promised.

The school arranged a house for Qiao Yu in the Heyuanyuan Villa District, only three kilometers away from Yanbei University.

Of course, the property rights of this villa do not belong to Qiao Yu at present, he only has the right to use it.

However, the two parties also agreed that as long as Qiao Yu worked at the Yanbei International Center for Mathematical Research for ten years, or as long as either the Tianji Rejection or the Quantum Simulation Computer project achieved the first phase goals and passed the acceptance, the ownership of the house would be automatically transferred to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu was very satisfied with this villa. After all, it was worth a lot. It was said that the market price was in the nine figures. It was a real luxury house in Beijing with excellent privacy.

Not to mention that the community was once a royal garden and is close to the school. It only takes about ten minutes to get to the school by Zheng Xiwen's car.

The only thing that made Qiao Yu unhappy was that the school was too old-fashioned. It would have been better if the villa had been allocated to him directly during the Chinese New Year.

In this way, during the Spring Festival, he can let Xia Keke's family live here, so that Keke and his parents-in-law can experience in advance what it feels like to live in a big villa in Beijing.

After all, a big house needs to be comfortable to live in, and most importantly, it needs to be lively enough.

After Coco's family left, he was the only one living in such a big house, which made him feel creepy.

Plus, Zheng Xiwen isn't very popular either.

Qiao Xi cannot be included for the time being, because Qiao Xi has no plan to move there from Huaqing before she finishes her studies.

After all, it was convenient to do anything in Huaqing, the food was good, and the accommodation was nice. Although the house was a little small, Qiao Xi felt it was enough and much more cozy than a big villa.

In fact, neither Qiao Yu nor Qiao Xi has too many requirements for where to live. Their highest requirements for life are mainly food and delicious food.

Eating well is really good.

For Qiao Xi, being able to have special meals at Huaqing already made her very satisfied with her life.

As for the villa, Qiao Yu can live there after he gets married and has children.

Since Qiao Xi didn't live there, Qiao Yu naturally didn't bother to go to the villa every day. Even though the villa area was only three kilometers away from Yanbei University.

So after only three days, Qiao Yu moved back to his small dormitory at the Yanbei International Research Center. It was more convenient to do anything, including scientific research.

Although there is a large study room in the villa, it doesn't feel like working in a small dormitory.

For the people around Qiao Yu, it didn't matter where he lived. They were even happier to see that Qiao Yu still kept his original aspiration and stayed in school.

After all, the people around Qiao Yu are under great pressure in scientific research, even Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Lao.

After talking with Qiao Yu half a year ago, Tian Yanzhen talked with Yuan Laoshen again, and then both of them stood firmly on Qiao Yu's side.

It can be said that both Huaqing and Yanbei made great efforts to ensure the successful completion of the two projects.

This is not an easy thing to do.

Any project involving thousands or even trillions of dollars in investment requires coordinating the interests of all parties.

The annual income and expenditure are limited. Especially in the field of scientific research, the pie is so small, and a huge expenditure means cutting a lot of small projects, not to mention launching two projects at the same time.

Even though the quantum simulation computer project is mainly funded by enterprises, those engaged in scientific research are all smart people and have already calculated the accounts clearly.

China is famous for concentrating its efforts on big things. The Quantum Simulation Computer Alliance has more than 40 companies, most of which are state-owned enterprises and central enterprises.

To put it bluntly, the main force leading this project was still the top leaders, so you can imagine how fierce the game was at that time. Although we finally won with the help of the right time, place and people, you can imagine that everyone was under great pressure.

It’s just that neither of them mentioned it to Qiao Yu.

Although they both told Qiao Yu to grow up quickly and become an adult.

But obviously deep down, both of them still regarded Qiao Yu as a child and did not want to put so much pressure on Qiao Yu.

Just as Qiao Yu said, as long as we can get quantum supremacy first, the opponent will eventually be cautious, and we will win.

It's nothing more than a big win, a medium win, or a small win.

The best outcome would naturally be that the space-based denial system could be successfully launched, and China's ability to perceive the entire earth would be unmatched. At the same time, the quantum simulation computer would be successfully developed and smoothly enter the commercial field.

If China wins one of the two projects, it will be enough to make China proud in the world.

As for the small win...

Well, both projects failed, but with the help of the research results of the two projects, quantum supremacy was still able to be firmly maintained for half a century.

Yes, as long as this killer advantage can be maintained for half a century, it will be enough for China, and there will even be plenty of time left.

According to the current international development trend, it is unknown whether China's current biggest competitor can maintain stability in 20 to 30 years. Although I have always wanted to get some money from the rich to pay off debts and control inflation, the effect is not very good from the current situation.

The empire's huge vested interest groups were unable to draw sufficient nutrients from other places outside the empire, and the sickle ultimately fell squarely on the common people within the empire.

At least from a materialistic point of view, resources cannot be created out of thin air. If you want to repay a debt, you must have matching resources to exchange for it.

It is obviously too difficult to achieve this by relying on finance alone, especially when there are too many bubbles and it is difficult to say that technology is still absolutely leading.

It is no exaggeration to say that those high-tech companies that have attracted global attention are reluctant to tell their stories these days.

The metaverse, which was once hyped as a production revolution, is still limited by the shackles of software and hardware, and there is no sign of hope for the time being.

Artificial intelligence...China is still watching closely.

Although Xi Jinping can continue to say that they are the world's largest artificial intelligence country after China, and that they are far ahead in technology and theory, the presence of competitors is no longer convincing enough.

As for the once killer quantum supremacy, this technology has now become a taboo word internationally.

Even though a number of high-tech companies at Xi’an University have cooperated with Qiao Yu’s project team, even companies such as Google, IBM, Intel, and NVIDIA have sent scientific research teams to China to study according to previous contracts.

But to be honest, for the whole world, it is still a mystery to what extent quantum simulation computing technology has developed.

Those who work in finance at Xi’an University have the most say on this point.

Both the financial trading markets and large financial companies such as JPMorgan Chase are well aware that, despite the mediation of several major technology companies, the trading pages of major financial markets around the world have been marked with the Xiyu Technology logo.

In the eyes of the public, this means that the engineering team led by Qiao Yu has begun to provide corresponding financial transaction security services for these major financial markets.

But in fact, those in power know very well that there is no service! Even several major exchanges have issued announcements and upgraded their servers.

In fact, several major technology companies made some changes to the server equipment - mainly because the protection fees were first paid to these technology companies, and they also made some money, so they just cooperated in the acting.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with spending some money to buy Ping An. For these financial giants, investing in these high-tech companies is part of their strategy.

As long as these technology companies are willing to work hard and develop network security defense measures in the quantum era, whether it is hardware protection or software protection, it would be worth spending some money.

But now several months have passed since Qiao Yu’s last public live broadcast. Their high-tech company has reached a cooperation with Qiao Yu and paid protection fees, but the feedback they received has been unsatisfactory.

Until now, so many high-tech companies that have cooperated with Qiao Yu have not figured out how Qiao Yu’s team was able to get the wallet address of the exchange in ten minutes and crack the protocol by the way.

There is no clue at all. At least the scientists in the research institutes of these high-tech companies in China still have no clue.

They couldn't even blame Qiao Yu.

Because of the contract signed with Qiao Yu, the team they sent to China to study was mainly to learn theoretical knowledge.

The feedback on this aspect is actually quite good. According to the feedback from scientists who went to the Huaxia Yanbei International Mathematics Center, they did learn relevant theories with Qiao Yu's team.

The only problem is that the theory of quantum simulation computing is quite profound, and one needs to fully understand and master the metaphorical modal space in order to make anything related.

To fully grasp Qiao's metaphorical modal space, one must start from the generalized modal axiom system.

If you want to fully understand the generalized modal axiom system, it is obviously not that simple.

It's not just about reading one or two papers and thinking you understand it, they also have to take exams. If they fail the exams, they may even have to go home.

And these scientists had nothing to say, because this was exactly what Qiao Yu required, without any favoritism.

There were frequent exchanges, so they naturally knew that the professors in Qiao Yu's project team not only had to be assessed on the progress of basic knowledge mastery, but also had to keep up with the progress of scientific research, otherwise they would be fired, unconditionally, and were more tired than them.

Afternoon tea? It doesn't exist...

They were given an hour for lunch break at noon and could enjoy a double holiday, which even made these foreign scientists feel warm and touched.

Because those professors in China who have scientific research tasks not only do not even have this one-hour lunch break, but they also have to hold group meetings with students on weekends to track progress.

There was no other way. In their words, the group meeting every Monday was the most important. Qiao Yu would not only attend it in person, but would also definitely understand the work progress of the previous week in detail. If the requirements were not met, not only would he have to review himself, he might also be eliminated.

It's all going crazy!

How can these foreign scientists report to China under such circumstances? In fact, they were also driven to sacrifice their weekends to study, but the basics of number theory are not that easy to master.

Many people even think that these basic mathematics are too profound and they should not be allowed to come, and instead those who specialize in mathematics should be sent.

There is nothing wrong with theory guiding practice, but the problem is that theory is too difficult to learn. And there are many people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they can't wait to understand everything and then make applications...

The result is naturally that everyone is having a hard time. For these scientists who come to study abroad, they cannot criticize China, after all, everyone is the same.

So we can only criticize those corporate bosses in China who can’t wait to ask this question every week.

Can't these high and mighty people respect the objective laws of science?

If these theories can be learned so easily, why is Qiao Yu called a rare mathematical genius in a thousand years by the academic community? Why did he win the Fields Medal at the age of 17?

Of course, some of these people have various little ideas, and some even have special missions.

But unfortunately, it is difficult for them to get some useful information from the professors in the project team.

The reason is very simple. The mission objectives of each person in the team are very specific. Each person is responsible for his or her own tasks.

They are only responsible for theoretical research. The specific progress of quantum simulation calculations is completed in the laboratories of those companies, and they have no access to the specific data at all.

Therefore, the topic of quantum simulation computing has become a taboo in the financial field. No one knows how far the research of quantum simulation computers has progressed after such a long period of research, and no one knows how far the space-based denial project has progressed.

The world's top technological projects are like the most famous cat in the quantum field.

Time is moving forward unwaveringly amidst all kinds of entanglements...
