It's only been a short time! It feels like listening to gibberish. It's like being able to listen to the first few math and physics lessons, understanding them, and getting it. But after sleeping through a few lessons, you're completely lost when you listen again.
"Mr. Xing, we conducted experiments on the extracted qubits, and there were slight discrepancies between the results and the initial analysis. In a vacuum-free environment, we discovered that qubits require near-perfect conditions to maintain the integrity of their quantum state, but certain material properties can shorten the lifetime of qubits. This phenomenon is called quantum decoherence, and it is a key obstacle that needs to be overcome when operating quantum processors."
The first step in reducing or eliminating quantum decoherence is to understand its origins. What we understand is that it is made up of several layers of materials with unique properties.
Each interface between each layer and each layer plays a crucial role in quantum decoherence. In other words, it's a microwave photon trap that allows stored and processed quantum information to be absorbed and disappear.
Xing Baohua could understand the beginning of what was said, but he didn't understand a word of what followed, such as "quantum decoherence".
Where did that term come from?!
Then Zhang Dongshuo talked about things like ultra-high frequency radio frequency, microwave loss, and high-power hertz, etc.
Well, Xing Baohua could only think to himself, Zhang Dongshuo is awesome.
If you don't understand, you don't understand. As long as someone understands and can build the equipment, that's fine.
“Xing Dong, boss…” Zhang Dongshuo looked at Xing Baohua with his eyes wide open, wondering what he was thinking or whether he was even listening to him. He felt that what Xing Baohua had just said was like talking to a brick wall.
Xing Baohua snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "Not bad, there's progress. Let me know if you need anything else. Whether it's materials or funds, I guarantee you there will be plenty."
“There are still a few rare materials we haven’t been able to get our hands on. Although we have rare earth elements, refining them ourselves is very troublesome, not as good as the Japanese. If you have any ideas, I can help you get some back. I’ll give you a list,” Zhang Dongshuo said.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try. Personally, I feel it’s better to be self-reliant. The Japanese import rare earth from us and refine it themselves. Why can’t we do it? You set up a refining department, and I’ll get you access to rare earth resources. Just give me a figure on how much funding you need, and I’ll have the finance department transfer it to you,” Xing Baohua said.
He then took the materials list written by Zhang Dongshuo, glanced at it, and put it into his bag.
Just as Xing Baohua was about to leave, he asked Zhang Dongshuo again, "I'm planning to build my own communication satellite, including a satellite phone, positioning system, terrain mapping system, and network transmission system. If you're not too busy, could you help me think about the structure and how our superconducting technology can play a core role in our own satellite?"
Zhang Dongshuo thought for a moment and said, "You need a lot of solar panels. These things have too much power and consume an astonishing amount of electricity. I estimate that at least 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity need to be stored on the satellite."
A 400 kWh battery, using our existing lithium-ion batteries, would require a lot of storage space. The battery module alone, plus the protective casing, would weigh close to 2000 kilograms. Two tons—how many rockets would you need to launch that? It's incredibly difficult.
Oh! You'll need to send someone up there, otherwise how are you going to connect the batteries in series?
These words left Xing Baohua speechless. If you want low power consumption, you still have to use the Loongson 1st generation. There's nothing in the world with lower power consumption than that.
Power consumption has been reduced, but performance is absolutely terrible.
Xing Baohua is gone. In this era where technology is already inadequate, demanding high performance is simply too difficult. Even doing it yourself would be better than trying to do geological surveying?
It's not that it can't be used, but the lens technology is inadequate. The civilian and military lenses are completely different, and even if you were to order a custom lens, they wouldn't give it to you.
Even the lenses are subject to strict control.
Unless Xing Baohua uses the Nikon technology he acquired, this will have to be figured out from scratch. The electronics are fine, but the key is the glass plate!
Those glass pieces had to be polished by hand; machines couldn't do it. They had to be tested by touch.
This is similar to how wearing a condom and not wearing one feel different.
A small satellite carries many things, each of which presents a challenge. And this thing can't be done carelessly.
Back at the company, he instructed Xie Yingying to find manufacturers capable of producing lens parts, whether they were bankrupt or still in operation. He told her to contact these manufacturers, borrow the parameters from Nikon lenses, and have them manufacture the parts.
There is an optical research institute in Shanghai that is also a manufacturer of lens elements. After I sent the data, they immediately called back and said that they could produce the lenses, but they couldn't do the coating, as they didn't have the equipment and technology for it.
Currently, only three countries in the world possess this technology: West Germany, Japan, and the United States. They do not produce finished products, but rather related components and equipment.
"Tell the Shanghai Optical Research Institute that if I can get them the coating technology, I wonder if they can produce it," Xing Baohua said to Xie Yingying.
"I'll call and ask."
"Also, I can't go to Shanghai recently. If they feel it's feasible, please ask them to send someone over to discuss it in detail."
"OK."
Since the Americans can produce the equipment, let's buy it! It's just a matter of spending money, right? He's currently having a headache over not being able to spend the money.
Money isn't so easy to spend.
It's not that you can spend money however you want just because you have it. You have to consider where you got the money and whether it leaves any negative consequences.
It was this aftereffect that caused Xing Baohua's headaches.
When you have too much money, you need to "cleanse" it, but you can't rush to do so. Only after "cleaning" it can you consume and spend it rationally.
The landline on his desk rang several times. Xing Baohua answered it and heard the switchboard operator say that there was an international call from Japan and ask if he wanted to be transferred.
