With large amounts of data, it has to be processed in a queue. This leads to a situation where the computational power cannot keep up when the input data becomes too massive.

Xing Baohua nodded again and said, "That's right. So semiconductor chips rely on the number of transistors to increase computing power. At the same time, power consumption must also be considered. We can't learn from Big Brother Polar Bear; they may not be good at transistors, but they're good at tubes!"

It's said that when their radar is turned on, the entire city has to go through power.

Hearing Xing Baohua's joking remark, Zhang Dongshuo shook his head and said, "The characteristic of a quantum bit is superposition! One quantum bit is both 0 and 1."

He held up his finger and said, "One qubit represents two pieces of information. So two qubits represent four pieces of information. Three qubits represent eight pieces of information. What about fifty qubits? Wouldn't that be 2^50?"

Xing Baohua nodded heavily, still mentally calculating what 50th power would be, but it was a bit of a brain drain and he couldn't figure out how much it would cost. How many billions would that be?

No, no, trillions!

"Holy crap!" Xing Baohua was extremely shocked. According to this understanding, as long as 50 qubits are made in a chip, the amount of information it can carry is in the trillions by utilizing the superposition property.

No wonder Zhang Dongshuo went crazy; if it were Xing Baohua, she would have torn the house down.

By today's standards, how big is a chip? How big is a quantum? A quantum is probably the smallest unit in the world right now.

Needless to say, even if we were to develop a chip with fifty quantum particles, a 2-nanometer chip would only have a few billion transistors! 333 million transistors.

The processing speed of light far surpasses that of transistors by several cosmic units.

Yes! In the future, we'll need to use astronomical units to represent computing speed.

Otherwise, his brain really couldn't process it. Just now, Xing Baohua still hadn't been able to mentally calculate the result of 50 powers of numbers.

Xing Baohua tilted his head back and downed the whole bottle in a huff, looking quite annoyed.

The next challenge is how to create quantum particles.

According to experimental literature on IBM, the production process mainly involves producing quantum dots on silicon-based single quantum dots and finding substances that can enter the quantum state.

The process is too complicated; just thinking about it gives me a headache. Apart from the lithography machine, it involves nothing else.

Moreover, the theoretical aspects are still just on paper.

No, it hasn't even been written down yet. Zhang Dongshuo miscalculated this, so he has to start all over again.

Fortunately, he changed his mindset quickly, and it probably won't be long before he gets back into the zone.

Of course, he invited mathematicians and found one or two physicists for him, so that he wouldn't have to hire them when he needed them.

Think about it, cracking a password would take several months. If we used 50 quantum chips, it would be cracked in an instant.

Quantum computers will not be used in civilian personal devices for the next few decades.

Large servers, like those in the cloud, are a good option, as is AI.

Needless to say, other fields like astronomy and aviation are definitely the first choice.

Zhang Dongshuo was also drinking silently. After three or four bottles, he started to feel dizzy and eventually passed out drunk.

Xing Baohua helped him onto the sofa, covered him with a blanket, and then went outside.

I came out for some fresh air.

There was a sense of tension in our conversation just now.

Quantum chips are indeed very good; it's a promising path, but it's just too difficult to follow.

The initial stage is the most difficult.

We had no idea what kind of equipment we would need, but luckily we had the foresight to use shell companies to acquire all sorts of high-tech equipment around the world.

Whether we need it or not, let's get it back first. Money is worthless; if we don't have enough, we'll borrow it.

Why did you think of borrowing?

In fact, Xing Baohua was unaware that he was already at the top of the red risk lists of major international banks.

The kind that's extremely dangerous.

If Xing Baohua encounters any major risks that lead to losses, the debts will collapse like dominoes.

The banks have done detailed calculations; all his company shares are not enough to pay off the collapsed debts.

Preliminary estimates suggest that Xing Baohua's debt has reached 27 billion US dollars.

Since he made a fortune during the US financial crisis, he hasn't had any major profit opportunities. The only thing that makes him money is rice, but that profit is barely enough to cover the interest.

Where did Xing Baohua's money go?

Real investment and diversified investment.

As for car manufacturers, let alone making a profit, they are all losing money right now. The main problem is that production volume is not up to par. Despite the high prices of cars, the costs and revenues are not proportional.

Moreover, a large portion of the profits is invested in advertising and promotion to build a corporate brand effect, which is a long-term brand effect.

If you survive, it becomes a well-known brand; just by looking at the logo, you can tell it's a high-end luxury car.

If they can't survive, they'll be acquired or go bankrupt; there's nothing that can be done about it, it's all a natural phenomenon.

Look at those famous sports cars; besides the brand name, how many owners have they changed hands over?

If Xing Baohua wants to borrow money again, he has to provide substantial collateral, but his collateral is basically based on something fictitious.

Even his Haina Investment. Once the bank assesses it, the price will be driven down very, very low.

Hou Qian wrote her resume and mailed it to her friend in the rice shop.

To get it done quickly, she used registered mail, which is currently the fastest way to send mail.

Three days later, her letters had been opened, inspected, registered, and then restored to their original condition.

From this moment on, all of Hou Qian's phone calls were monitored by the system. A dedicated person, a special line, and a small team were assigned to analyze and decipher the content.

A week later, Hou Qian received an invitation from the Rice Lab for a formal interview. If she passed the interview, she would be hired directly, giving her time to prepare.
