Chapter 430 This is the long-term solution
The local people finally no longer have to worry about power outages.
"That's great! I can finally use air conditioning. I didn't know before that electricity is such a precious resource. I will never waste electricity again."
"It's really a torture to be unable to use air conditioning in a 40-degree high temperature ! Thank you to our power system and to our friends who supply us with electricity! We are one family, this is our great motherland!"
"Our cohesion is unmatched by other countries. When one side is in trouble, people all over the country will send their support. I really hope that we will never suffer from such an energy crisis again."
What everyone doesn’t know yet is that this plan was planned by the Algorithm Quantum Computer, a powerful device that just won the quantum competition.
As the designer of the mathematical sutra, Xu You did not explain these things to people outside the project team, but continued his scientific research work silently.
On the Internet, some netizens have begun discussing who came up with such an ingenious power supply plan.
"This plan is really brilliant. It only replans the national power system and directly makes up for the hydropower gap caused by high temperatures. Looking around the world, only we have the ability to carry out such a great project."
"I can't believe who could come up with such an ingenious plan. It's our savior, saving us from dire straits."
"It should be a great team that came up with the plan. There are a lot of complex calculations involved. It is difficult for one person to solve such a complex problem."
Many people, not only in China but also abroad, were shocked that we were able to successfully solve the problem of tight electricity supply in such a short period of time .
Some people with keen senses have linked the design of this plan to the previous quantum competition.
"Didn't Suanjing and Vulture compete in the second phase of the quantum competition on energy planning? I think this plan is likely to come from the Suanjing quantum computer."
Such speculation is well-founded and is also the actual result.
However, they don’t know that there is still a long way to go from energy planning schemes in the quantum competition to actually solving practical problems.
"Impossible! This can't be done by Mathematics!"
After obtaining relevant information, the Vulture Project Team analyzed this plan.
Their researchers denied that this design was based on the idea of mathematics.
"This problem is much more complicated than the energy planning solution in the previous quantum competition. In the quantum competition, there is not that much difference between our vultures and their algorithms. This is not a problem that can be solved simply by calculation, but quantum computers are simply unable to identify such a complex problem."
To some extent, asking a computer to solve this problem is almost as difficult as asking a computer to create art.
When the problem is not a purely computational or modeling problem, it is difficult for computers to understand it accurately.
But then, the news announced by Rabbit surprised them.
After detailed internal discussions, it was decided to announce to the public that this achievement was related to the news of the quantum computer.
One reason is that the computing power of quantum computers is no longer a secret, and there is no need to keep this information secret.
The second is to continue to enhance the status of quantum computers in the world and demonstrate our scientific and technological strength.
In the future, we will most likely use the super computing power of the algorithm to cooperate with other countries.
Not only did Suanjing perform well in the quantum competition, but it also solved such a major problem when it entered the application field for the first time.
I believe no one would refuse such a magical quantum computer.
…
It is certainly gratifying that the short-term electricity energy crisis has been resolved.
But this approach is more of a temporary solution.
Trying to solve the problem of energy shortage through this kind of energy planning is not a long-term solution.
After that, Xu You was also thinking about energy issues and communicating with other experts.
The fundamental way to solve the energy problem is to increase energy output and store energy efficiently.
However, the various existing power generation methods cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
At present, our main electricity still relies on thermal power, that is, burning coal to generate electricity.
This method of power generation is currently the most stable, but due to limited coal reserves, it cannot be maintained in the long run.
In addition, thermal power causes serious environmental pollution and is an unclean energy source.
In addition to thermal power, other commonly used power generation methods include hydropower, wind power, photovoltaics, etc.
These power generation methods are all affected by weather and environment, and the stability of power generation is not as good as thermal power.
As for nuclear power, because current nuclear power is all nuclear fission, the operation and cooling of nuclear power plants require a lot of water, and there are also great safety risks, so its development will be very cautious.
As for nuclear fusion, it is unclear how long it will take for the technology to mature.
"It's time to put the construction of superconducting cables on the agenda."
Thinking of these problems, Xu You felt that the technology of superconducting cables must be popularized in the next few years.
With superconducting cables, if uneven power supply occurs again, power can be adjusted immediately.
Because of superconducting cables, there is almost no loss of electrical energy during the transportation of electricity.
There is absolutely no problem even if electricity is dispatched from a long distance.
In this way, we will never fall into a power crisis due to uneven power supply.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to continue to focus his future work on superconductivity research.
Before this, Xu You had used Island Artificial Intelligence to calculate a material with a superconducting critical temperature of 258K under normal pressure.
Once this material is successfully prepared, room-temperature superconductivity will no longer be a dream.
The cost of electric transportation will be greatly reduced, and even if controlled nuclear fusion is not applied, there is no need to worry about energy problems for the time being.
"Turn on wireless brain-computer mode!"
At Xu You's command, he connected to the Suanjing quantum computer again.
