Chapter 490 Quota Allocation Principles
When he first came into contact with the field of quantum computers, Xu You never thought that he could really contribute key technologies to this field.
Not to mention, moving the quantum computer directly into your home.
But now, those things that Xu You dared not imagine before have gradually become reality.
After installing this small quantum computer, Xu You began testing the wireless brain-computer.
Compared with the regular version, Xu You's special edition has thirty quantum bits.
Although it cannot be compared with the world's top quantum computers such as Suanjing, Island, and Vulture.
However, this computing power is enough to solve most problems.
With such powerful equipment in hand, supercomputers no longer have any practical value.
In addition to the special power supply, this quantum computer can also use Fulon Technology's special battery to allow it to operate in locations without a special power supply .
In this way, even if Xu You needs to travel to other places on business, he can carry this quantum computer with him.
…
A few days later, Fulun Technology officially released this product.
Because of its own characteristics, this small quantum computer is named "Fulong Mini Quantum Machine".
At first glance at the name , it seems to be a very small device.
But with the word "quantum" added, it is obvious that it cannot be measured by general standards.
The so-called "mini" means that compared with normal quantum computers, this quantum computer is enough to be described as "mini".
"The world's first small quantum computer, the Fulong Mini Quantum Machine, developed by Fulong Technology, was officially released today. The Fulong Mini Quantum Machine uses ion trap technology to condense the huge quantum device into a cubic chassis with a side length of 20 inches."
"The Fulong Mini Quantum Machine has 20 quantum bits. In terms of computing power, it far exceeds any supercomputer in the world today, and is not inferior to many large previous-generation quantum computers. The price of the Fulong Mini Quantum Machine is 5 million Chinese yuan, and the first batch is limited to 1,000 units. If necessary, please fill in detailed information on the official website of Fulong Technology to make an appointment and pay a deposit of 100,000 Chinese yuan. After review, the final list of successful appointments will be determined. Users who are not eligible to purchase will have their deposits returned in the original way."
Due to the special nature of the Fulon mini quantum machine, this product does not adopt the mall pre-order model, but instead adopts a special method of information review.
Among them, those who review the information of the users who have made appointments are not only the staff of Fulun Technology, but also some internal personnel with higher authority.
We must ensure internally that such computers with extraordinary performance will not easily fall into the hands of people with impure intentions.
The requirement to pay a deposit of 100,000 Chinese yuan is to avoid too many users making reservations, which would result in an excessive workload for information review.
With this threshold, there will basically be no users who do not want to buy this machine and maliciously participate in the reservation and waste the reservation quota.
You should know that if the reservation is successful but the balance is not paid, the deposit of 100,000 Chinese yuan will not be refunded.
However, when the reservation channel was officially opened, the strong enthusiasm of users was still beyond the expectations of the staff of Fulun Technology.
In just one day, the number of users who made reservations for the Fulon Mini Quantum Machine on the official website exceeded 10,000.
These users include researchers from major universities and research institutes, large state-owned and private enterprises, wealthy people, celebrities, technology enthusiasts, and so on.
Even some Western users found ways to participate in this reservation.
With such a high number of reservations, the sales of this new product are no longer a problem.
To this end, Xu You and others discussed the distribution principles of the Fulon mini quantum machine this time.
"My idea is to distribute this quantum computer to major scientific research institutions as much as possible so that this product can be fully utilized," said Xu You.
Because Xu You was the initiator of the project and the main researcher, Xu You's opinions naturally became the primary criterion for allocation.
"Companies like the National Go Team, which have a strong demand for quantum computers, should also try to give them priority. Now that Go has entered the AI era, better equipment will be very beneficial to their training results," Xu You added.
Xu You raised this point not only because he had a good personal relationship with Nie Jie, but also because he felt that they should indeed be allocated a quantum computer.
After all, there are a total of one thousand quantum computers, and no matter how they are arranged, it should be their Go team's turn.
As for those users who do not have such an urgent need for ultra-high performance computing, they can only continue to queue up and wait for the subsequent products to be processed and manufactured before the quota is allocated.
At this time, one person suggested:
"If possible, allied countries like ours should also be eligible for some quotas. This will make our position as a world science and technology center more solid and demonstrate our status as a great power."
Xu You nodded when he heard this and agreed with the suggestion.
If there are only a few devices, it would be right to keep them all for one's own country's use.
With a thousand devices, allocating some quota to allies is a more valuable thing from a big picture perspective.
At this time, Luo Wenkun said: "I also agree with this idea, and I suggest that we can use the donation method to directly send these devices to our allies for free. Fulong Technology is willing to pay for this money."
Originally, this project was not intended to make a profit.
Since it can help the country's reputation, Luo Wenkun is willing to contribute to it.
"By the way, some Western countries have also been expressing great interest in this quantum computer. I wonder if we should consider giving them some quotas?"
Everyone has different opinions on this.
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, everyone focused their attention on Xu You.
"Professor Xu, what do you think about this?"
Xu You thought about it and said:
"I have no objection to allocating quotas to them, but each of these Western countries can only have one quota at most, and it must be sold at the original price," said Xu You.
After all, these are devices developed by himself, so Xu You is familiar with their performance.
The United States already has quantum computers with more powerful performance. Even if they are given a Fulong mini quantum machine, it will not bring any essential help to their technological development.
No matter how they dismantle it, it is impossible to restore this technology.
Giving them the opportunity to buy one is more importantly giving them the opportunity to experience our powerful technology up close.
