Chapter 378: The New Frontier of Quantum Artificial Intelligence
On the phone, Xu You explained his recent achievements and the various difficulties he encountered.
Previously in the high-temperature superconductivity project team, the experts were indeed more experienced.
However, precisely because of their overall age, they lack creativity and are more difficult to manage.
Even many experts who did not make much contribution to the entire research received honors that did not match their contributions.
Especially the incident with Chen Pingqiu made Xu You completely determined.
Xu You hopes that he can truly lead the entire project and add more fresh blood to the project team.
People like Lin Shi may not be as experienced as those experts, but their role in research is unmatched by many experts.
"Youyou, it's great that you have this awareness. The reason why I didn't let you be the project leader before was not because you were incompetent, but because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to intimidate those experts. It was also a kind of protection for you. I will help you solve this problem."
"Okay, thanks mom!"
Just as Xu You expected, Wu Jing did have such authority and could help him handle project matters.
This doesn't count as any privilege. After all, with Xu You's ability, such a request will definitely be approved.
Only through Wu Jing's relationship can Xu You achieve this goal faster.
A few days later, Wu Jing responded to Xu You.
"Youyou, our idea is to keep the original high-temperature superconductivity project team unchanged and set up a new project team, tentatively named the room-temperature superconductivity project team. The goal of the new project team is to find a true room-temperature superconductor and conduct a more in-depth study of the superconductivity mechanism. The previous high-temperature superconductivity project team will continue to conduct applied research on high-temperature superconductors."
This decision was finally made after detailed internal discussions.
It is not so easy to disband and rebuild the original high-temperature superconductor project team.
If this project team is really rebuilt casually, it will cause many unavoidable impacts.
The previous project team still has a lot of other work to do, and the goals of the two project teams basically do not overlap.
Xu You also agreed with this decision and expressed his gratitude to Wu Jing.
After that, the room-temperature superconductivity project team was officially established at Jijing University.
Xu You became the head of the project team, and Lin Shi and several other teachers and students from Xu You's laboratory also became members of the project team.
In addition to these researchers from Jijing University, experts from institutions including Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Jinghua University have also joined the room-temperature superconductivity project.
Most members of the entire project team are under 40 years old and appear very energetic.
Although they do not seem to have as much experience as the experts in the high-temperature superconductivity project, each of them has very strong abilities.
Xu You felt very comfortable getting along with them and didn't need to pay any attention to seniority or anything like that.
"First of all, everyone must remember that we cannot disclose any information about the project to anyone other than the internal members of our project team. You should all know about the information leak of 202K high-temperature superconducting materials on Twitter. The professor who leaked this information may have to spend the rest of his life in prison. So, everyone must be careful in what they say and do."
Xu You's words had a good deterrent effect.
After all, everyone is a leader in China's scientific research community, and no one wants to lose their bright future and undergo transformation.
"In addition, I also want to point out a realistic fact, that is, room-temperature superconductors may never be found. But no matter what, we will continue to explore in this direction. For us, every step closer is a huge success."
Xu Youxian told everyone this not to discourage their enthusiasm, but to make everyone serious, learn from the mistakes Chen Pingqiu made, and be mentally prepared for possible difficulties in the future.
After saying this, Xu You began to plan the tasks of the project team.
After the project team was established, the first task was to prepare several new high-temperature superconducting materials and explore their properties.
Xu You really wants to know whether other high-temperature superconductors with superconducting critical temperatures above 200K will also have a situation where the predicted superconducting temperature is very different from the actual superconducting temperature.
This has great guiding significance for continuing to study the various mechanisms of superconductivity and further exploring room-temperature superconductors.
The young researchers in these project teams have not experienced high-temperature superconducting projects and do not understand how these superconductors are prepared.
Fortunately, Xu You has fully mastered the entire process of superconductor preparation.
Under Xu You's guidance, everyone quickly grasped the essence of it and no longer needed Xu You to do everything himself.
Xu You can also focus more on other research directions such as quantum artificial intelligence.
Xu You has a new idea in the research of quantum artificial intelligence.
That is, applying quantum artificial intelligence to the medical field.
Xu You’s idea is to allow the island’s quantum artificial intelligence to replace doctors to solve some medical problems.
For example, when a patient or doctor tells them their symptoms, artificial intelligence can be used to write a medical prescription.
If you want to understand your condition more clearly, you definitely need to go to the hospital for professional examination.
Artificial intelligence cannot replace hospitals and solve all medical problems.
But at least it can solve some common diseases or give a general direction.
Many people encounter various pain points when searching for their diseases online.
For example, the first few pieces of information found during a search are not actually normal medical information, but rather advertisements for hospitals.
The quality of these hospitals varies greatly. Some are purely for-profit and will even use any means necessary to achieve their goal.
Another pain point is the accuracy of disease information searches online.
To exaggerate a little, no matter what small problem you have, if you search online, you will eventually find that your remaining time is limited.
Even if you don't have any disease, you might be scared to death.
If the research goes well, Xu You hopes to be able to benefit the public with this achievement.
Everyone can stay at home and use the island's artificial intelligence to help analyze the cause of their illness for free.
After determining this topic, Xu You began to think about how to solve this problem.
The first thing we need to do is to allow the island artificial intelligence to learn enough disease information, as well as corresponding diagnoses and prescriptions.
