Chapter 369 (1/2)

Back to the surface, Jiang Chen immediately found Xu Lu and explained to her his thoughts on seabed mining.

”Seabed mining?”

Xu Lu looked at Jiang Chen with some bewilderment. All the proven minerals on the earth have been mined out. Even if there are still undeveloped deposits in the mantle beneath the Moho surface or in the deep sea several kilometers below, it is difficult to carry out because of the high cost of mining and the serious damage to the geological environment.

In addition, due to the appearance of space elevator, the space cost has been greatly reduced, and the mining technology in the 22nd century has begun to develop in the direction of space mining. It can be said that in the 22nd century, seabed mining, like thermal power generation, is a technology eliminated by the times.

”Yes, subsea mining technology, preferably automated. Can it be done? ” Jiang Chen asked.

”It can be done. After all, those technologies have been eliminated... Can there be mineral deposits in the coastal zone of Wanghai city?” Xu Lu puzzled.

”You don't have to worry about it. I'll make another arrangement for where to mine.” Jiang Chen laughs.

Seeing that Jiang Chen said so, Xu Lu nodded.

”Well, I'll set up another research project team to be responsible for the restoration of seabed mining technology. But now there is only one quantum computer. If we add more research teams, I'm afraid it will slow down the R & D efficiency of other scientific research projects. ”

Jiang Chen is a little stunned. He is not engaged in scientific research. He does not understand the dependence of scientific research on quantum computers in the 22nd century. In fact, many people born after the war did not understand it very well, but Xu Lu came from before the war. So I still know something about it.

She read out the perplexity on Jiang Chen's face very keenly, and she simply introduced the reason to him.

The powerful function of quantum computer can accurately simulate the physical environment at the level of quark particles, so many experiments can be simulated in pure mathematical environment. In this way, it is not only convenient to eliminate the interference in the experiment, but also in a second or even shorter time. It takes several days to complete the physical and chemical reactions in reality. Of course, this is only one of the functions.

After listening to Xu Lu, Jiang Chen finally understood the reason why all countries are throwing money into the bottomless hole of quantum computer. Once this device is developed, it is no exaggeration to say that the country's scientific research efficiency will increase in a geometric way, and it is not too much to say that it can completely shake off the N streets of other countries.

Although from the beginning of the 21st century, many organizations or countries have boasted that they have completed the prototype of quantum computer. Among them, IBM and Google are typical, but their prototype is still far from the real quantum computer. Only quantum algorithm is used in the algorithm, but the computing speed can not even surpass the traditional computer.

Before the breakthrough in materials science, any act of pretending to develop a quantum computer by oneself would be tantamount to playing rogue. It's like it's impossible to build skyscrapers without the invention of reinforced concrete.

”Do you think a quantum computer with several research groups is appropriate?” Jiang Chen thought for a moment. Asked in a deep voice.

”From experience, it's most reasonable to have 10 research teams with a quantum computer... But it's obviously not realistic.”

There is only one in the refuge, which is shared by 17 project teams. There will be a new project team to develop seabed mining technology, which can't be simply described as crowding.

”Is there any production technology for quantum computers?” Jiang Chen asked.

”Yes, but there are no production conditions.” Xu Lu said helplessly.

I think so.

Jiang Chen also had a helpless smile.

”Well, since the number of research projects cannot be increased. People on the ground can't just be idle. Although it is difficult to carry out scientific research without quantum computers, they should be able to do the work of waste soil science and technology recovery and data processing easily

”OK.” Xu Lu nodded.

...

the northern suburb of Wanghai city.

A figure walks on the cracked concrete pavement.

The gray hood covered his face, and judging from the damage of the lapel, he seemed to have been through a fierce battle not long ago.

Under the influence of the war, bridges and other traffic arteries were basically destroyed in the bombing, and the Binjiang bridge across the tributaries of the Yangtze River was blown into several sections, but this did not affect him.

With his right hand out of the hook claw, he jumped out with an incredible gesture. Like an ape, he swam across the ten meter high viaduct.

His feet fell heavily on the ground.
