Returning to the surface, Jiang Chen immediately found Xu Lu and explained his thoughts on seabed mining to her. ▼▼◆..●
"Seabed mining?"
Xu Lu looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion. Almost all the minerals that had been discovered on the earth had been mined. Even if there are still unexploited mineral deposits in the mantle beneath the Moho or in the deep sea thousands of meters below, it is difficult to exploit them due to problems such as high cost and severe damage to the geological environment.
In addition, since the emergence of space elevators has greatly reduced space costs, mining technology in the 22nd century has basically begun to develop in the direction of space mining. It can be said that in the 22nd century, seabed mining is a technology that has been eliminated by the times, just like thermal power.
"Yes, seabed mining technology is best automated. Can it be done?" Jiang Chen asked.
"It can be done, it can be done. After all, these are technologies that have been eliminated... Are there any mineral deposits along the coast of Wanghai City?" Xu Lu asked confused.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will make other arrangements for where to mine." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Chen say this, Xu Lu nodded.
"Well, I will set up another scientific research project team to be responsible for the restoration of seabed mining technology. ▼▼However, there is only one quantum computer now. If we add more scientific research project teams, I am afraid it will slow down the research efficiency of other scientific research projects."
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. He was not in the scientific research field, and he did not fully understand the dependence of scientific research on quantum computers in the 22nd century. In fact, many people born after the war don't understand it very well, but Xu Lu came from before the war, so she still understands it to a certain extent.
She keenly read the confusion on Jiang Chen's face, and explained the reason to him in a concise manner.
The powerful functions of quantum computers can simulate the physical environment accurately to the level of quark particles, allowing many experiments to be simulated in a purely mathematical environment. This not only facilitates the elimination of interference items in the experiment, but also enables physical and chemical reactions that take days to complete in reality to be completed in one second or even less. Of course, this is just one of the functions.
Listening to what Xu Lu said, Jiang Chen finally understood why all countries in this world are throwing money at the bottomless pit of quantum computers. Once this thing is developed, it is no exaggeration. The country's scientific research efficiency will explode exponentially, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will completely leave other countries behind.
Although many organizations or countries have falsely boasted that they have completed the prototype of quantum computers since the beginning of the 21st century, with IBM and Google as the typical examples, there is still a big gap between their prototypes and real quantum computers. ▼●◆▲ Quantum algorithm is only used in the algorithm, but the calculation speed cannot even surpass that of a traditional computer.
Before there is a major breakthrough in materials science, any act of falsely claiming to have developed a quantum computer is tantamount to being a hooligan. Just like it is impossible to build a skyscraper without exposed steel and concrete.
"Do you think it is more appropriate for a quantum computer to be paired with several scientific research groups?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.
"From experience, it is most reasonable for 10 scientific research project teams to match one quantum computer... But this is obviously unrealistic."
There is only one unit in the shelter, which is shared by 17 project teams, and a new project team will soon be added to research seabed mining technology. This can no longer be simply described as crowded.
"Do you have the 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 smiled helplessly.
"Well, since the scientific research project team cannot be increased, the people on the ground cannot just be idle. ... ▼Although it is difficult to carry out scientific research work without quantum computers, they should still be able to easily recover wasteland technology and organize data Competent.”
"Okay." Xu Lu nodded.
... ...
The northern suburbs of Wanghai City.
A figure walked on the cracked cement road.
A gray hood covered his face, and judging from the damage to his clothes, he seemed to have experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
affected by the war. Traffic arteries such as bridges were basically destroyed by bombings, and the Binjiang Bridge across a tributary of the Yangtze River was blown into several pieces, but this did not affect him.
Throwing out the hook with his right hand, he jumped out with an incredible gesture, swinging across the ten-meter-high viaduct with the agility of an ape.
His feet landed heavily on the ground.
Standing firm, he breathed a sigh of relief. ▼▲●After crossing this river, this place does not fall within the boundaries of Wanghai City.
A roar of deathclaws came from far behind, but it quickly disappeared.
Putting the hook back on the belt around his waist, he pulled off the hood.
"Huh, you really won't chase me out?"
This face. Surprisingly, it was Lin Chaoen.
A holographic map appeared two inches in front of his pupils. His mechanical eyeballs shrank slightly, and his gaze moved to the west.
The density of zombies outside the jurisdiction of Wanghai City is very low, while the relative density of alien species is high. However, these alien species seem to be different from those in Wanghai City. Not showing any obvious aggression, at least not towards this cyborg.
A Deathclaw wandering among the ruins looking for food passed by Lin Chaoen. He just sniffed and gave up on the prey, which was covered in metal and silicone.
Several survivors huddled in the darkness watched Lin Chaoen pass by the Deathclaw in fear. They couldn't figure out why the Deathclaw didn't attack the man.
The electronic eyes swept over these people. Lin Chaoen ignored these poor people and walked straight towards the target direction.
The road was very safe. Except for two groups of blind gangsters who delayed him for more than ten minutes, there was basically no trouble.
After walking west for about two hours, he finally stopped in front of a warehouse.
A man with a cigarette butt in his mouth walked out of the shadows, and with him came several soldiers carrying rifles. Judging from the logos on their clothing, they are all members of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
"You're late." The man with the cigarette blew out a smoke ring and said with a grin.
"It took me a little while." Lin Chaoen apologized politely.
The man glanced at the blood on his face that had not completely dried up, and without asking why he was late, he reached out and took off the cigarette butt.
"Then let's get started."
Lin Chaoen did not answer, but passed him and walked towards the door of the warehouse.
He stretched out his index finger and touched the circle on the warehouse door panel.
"Fingerprint identification?" asked the cigarette man.
"Electrical signal recognition." Lin Chaoen replied simply, and then took two steps back.
The door panel opened, revealing the items stored in the warehouse.
The cigarette man's pupils tightened.
A whole warehouse is filled with B-shaped steel. According to a rough estimate, this pile of materials is at least 1,000 tons!
"It's unbelievable, how can you be so rich?" A flash of greed flashed in the cigarette man's eyes.
In the sixth block, the price of 1 ton of B-shaped steel has skyrocketed to 100 sub-crystals. This 1000 tons of B-shaped steel can be sold for 100,000 sub-crystals!
But thinking about what his boss said, the greed in his heart gradually cooled down.
"This is all my father's property, purchased before the war." Looking at the man with the cigarette butt, Lin Chaoen did not care about the change in the expression on his face, and said in a calm tone, "According to the agreement, half of this pile of steel is at your disposal. The other is Half of it, I need you to produce the parts I need according to my requirements."
After a moment of pause, Lin Chaoen's face showed a very gentlemanly smile.
"Of course, if I don't see something in a month, the consequences may be a little unpleasant."
This smile is cruel. (.)
