Chapter 291 Tai Chi Product Launch Conference (Part )
Soon it was nine fifty, and before Qiao Yu went to see how the equipment backstage was prepared, Zheng Xiwen began to invite several of Qiao Yu's closest people in the VIP room to sit in the front row.

Because everyone else was already seated.

Including the bigwigs of the Quantum Simulation Alliance Committee and special guests specially invited from the West.

These people were invited to take their seats together.

Although Qiao Yu insisted on not contacting everyone before the press conference, it did not stop the bigwigs within the alliance from contacting these bigwigs in the west in advance.

Both sides actually have the need to sit down and talk together. At least in recent years, the need is still two-way. As for what will happen in the future, who knows?
After the VIP room became deserted, Qiao Yu was too lazy to stay here, so he took the initiative to follow Tian Yanzhen's instructions and went to see the equipment used for the demonstration of this press conference.

The person who was transferred to be in charge of debugging was Professor Wang Xingyao, but Professor Wang was only the person in charge, and it was naturally his students who did the work themselves.

When Qiao Yu arrived here, he saw an acquaintance he had seen a few days ago, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Huh? Xiao Deng has also been transferred here to do hard labor."

Although being called "Xiao Deng" made Deng Kai feel a little bit at a loss, the excitement of having Qiao Yu remember his name suppressed the slight discomfort.

"Yes, Academician Qiao, I came here last night after receiving Director Wang's order. Don't worry, we did a comprehensive test last night.

At 6 o'clock this morning, we started to conduct targeted tests according to the process of this press conference. We absolutely guarantee that today's product press conference will not fail. "

"Thank you for your hard work!" Qiao Yu responded with a smile and looked at Professor Wang beside him.

Wang Xingyao glanced at the staff beside him and urged him, "Academician Qiao, it's almost time. It's almost ten o'clock. You need to go to the front."

It can be seen that everyone is very nervous, except Qiao Yu, who still looks relaxed.

"Lao Wang, what did I tell you before? We also need to be relaxed. Westerners do this well. Especially since we are doing quantum simulation calculations, we must learn to tolerate errors. It's just a press conference, not a Sky Shield exercise. A few minutes of error is not a big deal.

Believe me, even if I go on stage a few minutes late, it won’t take years. After this press conference, people will not discuss why I was a few minutes late, but will be shocked that the quantum simulation computer we released can have such powerful functions! Don’t you think so, Xiao Deng? "

"what?"

Deng Kai was stunned for two seconds when he was suddenly mentioned, then he quickly reacted, glanced at his mentor, and said with gritted teeth: "Well, Academician Qiao is right."

"Haha, see, Professor Wang, your way of thinking is outdated! Do you know why young people nowadays like to feel relaxed? Because we are confident enough!"

As he spoke, Qiao Yu smiled and turned to walk towards the backstage.

Qiao Yu has always been like this. When something big happens, he is often more relaxed than usual. Especially when he is in a good mood today.

Although Qiao Yu really felt that it was okay to go a little later, the staff's rigorous operation still managed to arrange the time from the backstage to the podium just right.

At ten o'clock sharp, the live press conference started on time.

Not only did the lights at the venue dim on time, but even the promotional video playing on the big screen on the podium just finished its final sound.

Then the screen went black and the lights on the podium came on on time. Qiao Yu, wearing the clothes that Xia Keke had specially picked for him today, walked briskly to the front desk.

Amidst enthusiastic applause in the hall, the highly anticipated product launch, which had been promoted for a whole month, finally began.

……

"Hello everyone, my name is Qiao Yu. I am entrusted by the Huaxia Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance Committee to host today's product launch conference.

First of all, please allow me to represent the Huaxia Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance and welcome everyone to attend today's launch of the first generation of Huaxia Taiji series quantum simulation computer products."

The first sentence Qiao Yu said on the stage caused a brief uproar.

There was no way, the word Tai Chi was not leaked before the press conference.

Fortunately, not many people paid attention to this name, and the whispering did not affect Qiao Yu's speech on the stage too much.

Qiao Yu quickly made everyone in the audience focus their attention on him again.

“I don’t know if you still remember that four years and five months ago, at the Riemann-Joyce Theorem academic conference also held at Yanbei University, I proposed a hypothesis.

Now that we have theoretically proved that quantum computing has inherent advantages over classical electronic computing at many levels.

For example, the physical properties of quantum superposition at the microscopic level can provide exponential acceleration in many algorithms. The SHOR algorithm is one of them, including when dealing with a certain type of optimization problem.

Allow me to thank Google here. The quantum supremacy theory they proposed directly promoted the development of quantum computing and allowed many super technology companies to devote themselves to this advanced and extremely difficult research.

For example, IBM, Intel, Nvidia, and Microsoft are well-known to everyone..."

As Qiao Yu spoke, the cameras on the scene moved across the faces of the major companies mentioned by Qiao Yu, and finally stopped at the face of Microsoft CEO Brad Smith.

It wasn't that troublesome, as these world-class technology giants were all arranged to sit in the first row on the left.

When the camera was obviously pointed at them, everyone smiled politely.

For these big guys who often have the opportunity to appear in front of the camera, this is basic operation.

Even if you are cursing in your heart, you can still show a perfect smile.

"I was also attracted by this technology at that time, and then I had an idea. Since quantum computing has so many advantages over electronic computing, but it is an extremely difficult project to develop chips that can support large-scale quantum computing, is there a way to do it?"

Qiao Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "As you all know, I proposed Qiao Yu modal space, which is a complete linear vector space that can replace Hilbert space.

Based on this, I proposed a method to simulate quantum computing using classical electronic computing structures. Fortunately, this idea was correct. Because if you still remember what happened four years ago, you should remember that I used this method to conduct a security test on the three major virtual currency trading markets in the United States.

On the second day after the test, Microsoft, the world's greatest operating system service provider, released their cross-century masterpiece, the super quantum chip Majorana, which represents the world's most advanced quantum chip technology.

When Qiao Yu said this, he smiled and locked his gaze directly on Brad Smith, the current CEO of Microsoft, who was sitting in the first row, then waved in that direction with a smile.

Without the need for the on-site director to remind him, the cameraman once again pointed the camera at Brad Smith in the audience. However, this time Brad Smith did not return a kind smile, his expression was serious and earnest, and he did not even respond to Qiao Yu's waving gesture.

This is obviously not polite.

After all, to be honest, the announcement of the Majorana did not bring him too many good memories. Even though it was because of Satya Nadella's decision that he had the opportunity to replace the Indian leader and sit in his current position.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu didn't care about these trivial matters, put his hand down and continued his speech.

“Four years have passed, and I believe that Microsoft, Google, and other companies that have been investing heavily in quantum chip research have made great progress.

Although they haven't announced the progress of these researches yet, perhaps due to concerns about commercial confidentiality, I don't think it matters, because after today, no one will keep it secret anymore!
Because today we will release a simulation computer that is not only perfectly compatible with current mainstream classical electronic computer applications, but also can provide elementary, intermediate and advanced quantum computing.

Not only that, before I officially introduce this product to you, I would like to emphasize one point: Taiji's entire series of products have been 100% localized.

This 100% includes not only all the components inside the computer, but also the manufacturing machinery that cannot be bypassed, such as the etching equipment used to make quantum simulation chips.

It also includes all the relevant intellectual property rights in the series. In other words, even if we are completely disconnected from the rest of the world, we can continue to produce high-performance quantum simulation computing devices without any impact.”

As Qiao Yu finished speaking, warm applause broke out again.

What was different from before was that this time, from the video we could see that no one in the first row of seats of those Western business tycoons raised their hands to applaud.

Everyone looked serious.

Obviously, 100% domestically produced is not good news for these bigwigs, it can even be said to be bad news.

Those people in the White House spent four years turning the world upside down, but they still failed to enable the United States to have the ability to manufacture any high-tech product 100% domestically.

In the same four years, China has created a 100% fully internal industrial chain for consumer-grade computers from scratch?

But that’s not the whole point. The key is to bypass all intellectual property rights…

Doesn't this mean that if the thing China develops is really useful, they won't even be able to collect technology tax?

Really, they are so annoyed by the applause.

That's too rude. No matter what it is, just take it out and let us see it!

Fortunately, everyone had similar thoughts at this time. Although the applause was enthusiastic enough, it did not last long and stopped.

"Thank you, everyone. Next, let's officially debut our new generation of consumer-grade quantum simulation computer, Tai Chi Supreme!"

As soon as the words fell, the big screen behind Qiao Yu, which had been off, suddenly lit up.

At the same time, a staff member carefully pushed a movable computer desk to the center of the podium.

Unfortunately, there is a baffle on the table that is not transparent, and the computer case and external display are directly embedded under the table. For the time being, everyone cannot see the appearance of the computer case and the display, so the attention is naturally focused on the large projection screen.

A Tai Chi pattern surrounded by black and white patterns appeared in the center of the gray screen background, slowly rotating clockwise.

The Tai Chi pattern is surrounded by the eight trigrams representing Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui.

As the Tai Chi pattern rotates, the patterns represented by the characters Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui are lighting up one after another.

"What you are seeing now is the self-test screen of our Tai Chi quantum simulation computer when it starts up. I believe everyone has noticed that as the Tai Chi diagram rotates, the symbols of the eight trigrams also light up one after another.

This is actually why we named this computer the Tai Chi series. Because it has exactly eight self-check items when it starts up, and it can only run smoothly after all the self-checks are successful. So we designed the Tai Chi Bagua as the startup screen. "

Qiao Yu managed the timing just right. As soon as he finished speaking, the eight icons lit up, and then the computer fell into darkness again.

But this time it lit up again in less than a second, and then directly entered a very simple login interface.

This time the background color is mainly black, and the center is still a dynamic, faint Tai Chi Bagua pattern. The color tone begins to change gradually during the slight rotation process.

"As you can see, this is the login interface after successful startup. This computer supports almost all current authentication methods.

For example, the most common username and password login also supports direct entry of fingerprints, voiceprints and facial recognition without username and password.

In other words, all Taichi computers support the function of logging in without external devices. Even if you connect an ordinary monitor, you don’t need a keyboard or mouse to use this computer perfectly. "

As he spoke, Qiao Yu had already walked behind the mobile computer desk. The high baffle basically covered Qiao Yu's body, leaving only his neck and head. But this obviously did not hinder Qiao Yu's demonstration.

"Enter the user binding interface."

Qiao Yu's voice came into everyone's ears through the loudspeaker.

As soon as the words fell, the Tai Chi login pattern that had been slowly rotating stopped, and the originally black background color gradually turned blue.

Then the sound from the computer's external speakers was heard by everyone.

"Hello, dear user, there is no user bound to this machine. The first bound user will automatically become an administrator and obtain all permissions. Do you want to continue binding?"

"Continue binding."

"Hello, the administrator requires two-factor authentication. Which two methods would you like to use for future login authentication?"

"Face and voiceprint."

"Facial features have been recorded, voiceprint features have been recorded, and the administrator has logged in successfully. Friendly reminder, you can make additional settings in the personalization settings next!
Including but not limited to setting a personalized username, password, personalized name, etc.... Of course, I know that you are not interested in these basic settings, but don't worry, the initial settings will be quick! "
