925 No Wonder So Many People Want To Be Top Scholars (3/4)

Chapter 925 No wonder there are so many people who want to be top students (34)

lunch.

Hotel cafeteria.

As soon as Lu Zhou came in, he immediately saw Director Li sitting at the table by the window.

Walked over and sat down on the seat opposite him, looking at the panda-like bags under the eyes, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep all night." He moved his hand between his brows and waved it away. Director Li cheered up, looked at Lu Zhou with a solemn expression and continued, "Remember the cyber attack incident I told you about yesterday. Is it? According to information from Interpol, the principal culprit has been arrested in Los Angeles."

Lu Zhou: "...Oh."

Listening to others tell the news that I already know, I always feel a kind of fried rice.

But Director Li himself didn't seem to notice it, and continued to speak with a serious expression.

"...As for the accomplice, we have already captured a criminal in the country. As for the other criminals, we have submitted the information to Interpol. People from the Ministry of Public Security also went to the country where the suspect is located to assist The local police are handling the case."

Lu Zhou: "Yes."

Director Li: "You don't seem to be surprised?"

Lu Zhou: "..."

What's so strange about this?

Not to mention that this news has been hotly searched on the top all morning, what you said may not be as exciting as the people who eat melons.

Keeping his eyes on Lu Zhou, Director Li suddenly asked.

"Honestly, how did you know the identity of the hacker?"

Regarding this suggestive question, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback for a moment, then reacted, and looked at him with an inexplicable expression and replied.

"I saw it on the Internet, what's wrong? I found out early in the morning."

However, Director Li, who failed in the test, was not discouraged, and continued to say without giving up: "...Speaking of which, we also got help from experts in this matter. If someone hadn't provided me with those clues, I'm afraid I'm still going around now. At the disadvantage of firefighting."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I've heard of it. It seems to be Dr. Z. He broke into the headquarters of North American hackers with guns and horses, and took over the hometown of 'Predatory Eagle' in one pot. He is a master."

He didn't see any flaws on Lu Zhou's face, Director Li's expression was slightly disappointed, but he soon recovered.

Originally, it didn't matter whether this Dr. Z was Lu Zhou, and besides him, it is entirely possible that the information security experts of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study did it.

The reason why I tried it was purely to satisfy my curiosity.

Even if Lu Zhou is really this Dr. Z, if he didn't intend to disclose it himself, he wouldn't make it public for him.

After stopping the probing, Director Li cleared his throat, and talked about his real purpose of coming to find him on this trip.

"Although this 2.17 extraordinarily large cybercrime case turned the corner and ended with our complete victory, it also reminded us that we must strengthen our defenses in the field of cybersecurity. Especially in this cyberattack, hostile forces used As a medium, the Internet has illegally disseminated quite sensitive information, posing a threat to our social stability. The central government is preparing to—”

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "I probably understand the situation, but I'm just a math guy. Tell me about this... Maybe you've got the wrong person."

I don't know if it was his illusion.

I always feel that Director Li seems to have tacitly accepted that he is Dr. Z.

This can't work...

Even if it has to be exposed in the end, I have to let you guess for a while, right?

Or is he not wearing this vest for nothing?

"Listen to me," Director Li cleared his throat and continued with a serious expression, "In order to deal with possible threats, the central government plans to spend huge sums of money to develop mature quantum computer technology to strengthen our network's active defense and necessary countermeasures."

Mature quantum computer technology?

Although Lu Zhou supports the central government's decision, he always feels that there are flaws everywhere.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Zhou finally couldn't help asking: "Eat oranges every day, where do you get oranges?"

Not to mention the super projects that are already underway, the fifth largest semiconductor industry group is also a big project that burns money.

Last year, the money he burned was almost 100 billion if not 10 billion. It's not a problem to keep printing money.

"This... I have to thank you for saying it," Director Li smiled embarrassedly, "Since the implementation of the Southeast Asian regional power grid plan, it has achieved initial results. After enjoying clean and cheap nuclear fusion energy, Southeast Asian countries have stopped. It won’t stop. At present, this area alone has created at least 50 billion US dollars of fiscal revenue for us, and it is still growing. This year, the country’s scientific research funding is still quite sufficient.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou nodded in his heart.

I see.

No wonder he has money to mess around with.

If it had been two years ago, even if he had worn out his lips, he might not have been able to complete the project of the lunar hadron collider.

At present, the aerospace industry can only be said to be barely making ends meet, and it will take some time to prove that his decision is correct.

Now it seems that nuclear fusion is the most profitable.

The excess electronic power is directly exported to neighboring countries cheaply, and the high-polluting power plants such as local coal-fired power plants can be overwhelmed by one-tenth of the price. As the cross-regional power grid continues to advance towards West Asia and Southeast Asia, sooner or later, East Asian power will become the second China Tobacco.

Director Li: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about funding. It's impossible to lose money. Didn't you talk to me last time? Is that carbon-based chip likely to be a stepping stone to 'quantum topological computing'? Our bureau Still studying how to spend this money, I just want to ask, is this technical route of using carbon-based chips to develop practical quantum computers reliable?"

Lu Zhou said dumbfoundedly, "You're asking... Can I say it's unreliable? Why don't you find someone with irrelevant interests to consult?"

"Don't ask questions, don't ask questions." Director Li shook his head and said seriously, "I believe you are a scholar who seeks truth from facts, and it is impossible for you to sell your beliefs for such a small profit."

In fact, Lu Zhou really wanted to say that this was no longer a petty gain, and he also wanted to say that he was an atheist, and he had no beliefs other than the pursuit of the truth of the universe.

However, Director Li was right about one thing.

He was indeed a down-to-earth scholar.

Sighing, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and said seriously: "Majorana fermions can be found in the materials used in carbon-based chips. This is indeed a good start. In theory, as long as it can be found on a certain material Realize the direct observation of pure Majorana zero-energy modes, and it is possible to realize quantum topological calculations."

Director Li's heart suddenly became hot, and he clapped his hands on his knees and asked excitedly.

"You mean, this method is tricky?"

"I didn't say that," Lu Zhou said seriously, looking at his over-excited look, "Whether it's feasible must go through rigorous technical demonstrations, instead of throwing a lot of money into it when you see a sign, otherwise there is hope that you will be able to do so." It's smashed for you."

Gradually calmed down, Director Li pondered for a moment, and asked seriously.

"Then what do you think should be done?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said: "My opinion is, don't rush to make a big move, you can find a few experts in this field to conduct a careful inspection of the technical feasibility demonstration, and wait until it is confirmed that this technical route is possible. After it works, it’s not too late to throw money into it.”

This is the safest and safest way.

If the technical route proves feasible, the expert group engaged in technical feasibility demonstration will be directly upgraded to a research and development group in situ, and the project can be launched immediately.

If you invest rashly without seeing a bright future, it will waste social resources at the least, and may cause adverse effects on the industry due to overheated capital.

These things need to be prevented.

"It's true," Director Li sighed, "I was eager for quick success, so it's better to be steady!"

After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"When I get back to the bureau, I will produce the relevant documents and set up an expert group to demonstrate the feasibility of quantum topological computing technology... Do you have any good people to recommend?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Professor Wu Tianqun, the carbon-based semiconductor technology was developed by his team. In addition, some experts in the field of quantum computing are also needed. You let me directly report the name and I will return it in a while." I really can’t figure it out, how about I go back and prepare a list to send to you.”

Seeing that Lu Zhou was willing to help, Director Li was overjoyed.

"Then thank you very much!"

After lunch, Chief Li didn't stay at the hotel any longer. Having not slept all night, he quickly said goodbye to Lu Zhou, got in the car parked at the door and left.

Seeing the old man's shaky appearance, Lu Zhou was really worried that he might fall or something.

If I didn't sleep all night, even my young body might not be able to bear it.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone and wrote down the matter of recommending candidates to the expert group for technical demonstration in the memo.

But at this moment, he suddenly had a strange idea.

How to arrange the candidates for this expert group basically depends on how you push people up. If you recommend all "your own people" to go up, wouldn't you monopolize the future of Huaguo's entire quantum computing research direction?

However, this thought is only fleeting...

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly thought of someone.

The old academician Zhou who once had a quarrel with him on the controllable fusion project is said to have behaved like that not from the very beginning.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou stuffed the phone back into his pocket and sighed with emotion.

"It's no wonder so many people have racked their brains to become a top student, a top student."

"The poison of rights is indeed addictive..."

Although, the appeal to him is quite limited.
