"Is it really that serious?" The officials from the Ministry of Education and Science were still in disbelief.
The quantum physicist said, "According to my observations, there are many representatives from various countries. I even saw some faces from the US. They are all famous people in the scientific and computing field."
"I think it won't be long before someone within the United States recognizes the standard of a red letter."
"Alright, I got it. Give me the detailed information."
…
The closing ceremony of the China Quantum Computing Conference was being held at the venue.
The president of the China Computing Association, Huo Wenguo, was standing on the stage. Below the stage were representatives from various countries and institutions.
This was the first time so many representatives had participated in an event. Many of them were top international research institutions and multinational companies!
"This conference was very successful, especially on the quantum computing standards. Most of the representatives agreed with us and agreed to accept Hongxin's standards."
"We warmly welcome those institutions, companies, and universities that accept us and are interested in technical exchanges …"
Huo Wenguo had said a lot of things, but the core of what he said was that if these representatives can publicly acknowledge Hong Xin's quantum computer standards and work together with the Chinese computer industry, they will be able to get some help in quantum computer technology.
This was not giving them benefits for free. Once these countries and regions adopted the Chinese standards, China would be able to control the core technology of this industry. Just like the US computer giants, they would be able to reap more benefits.
After the conference ended, the China Computing Association released a news announcement and wrote a lot. It also stated that there were more than 200 companies, universities, and research institutions participating in the conference!
This number had reached 3/5 of the previous supercomputing conference in the US!
"3/5! Look, these people are treating our words as nonsense! "At the IEEE Association office, Chairman Lancelot was furious!
In the office, documents were scattered all over the floor. They were all reports and information about the China Quantum Computing Association.
"Mr. Chairman, although they claim that there will be so many representatives, we don't have many participants in the United States. They are all small countries that have good relations with China, as well as those research institutions in Europe." Toran Bell, the vice chairman, comforted him. "This won't affect us much."
"Not much?" Lancelot scolded. "If it was in the past, there would never be so many bastards attending the conference! If they succeed this time, we will have a hard time in the future! "
"I'm afraid so." At this time, Lancelot's assistant said with a bitter face, "I just received news that the UK's ARM company said that they will use Hongxin's quantum computer standard for scientific research and product development."
"In addition to them, there are also France's Atomic Energy Research Institute, the Netherlands' Superconducting Quantum Circuit Laboratory, Germany's Quantum Technology Research Center, Austria's University of Innsbruck … and our American University of Maryland's Quantum Research Team, Yale University's Superconducting Quantum Circuit Laboratory, University of Santa Barbara, and 68 other companies, research institutions, and universities have publicly announced that they will use the quantum computer standard published by the Huaxia Computer Association and developed by Hongxin Group."
As the assistant read, Lancelot's expression changed from anger to numbness and disappointment. From the list that he read out, the world's most advanced research centers in the quantum field basically all recognized Hongxin's standards.
This means that the IBM standards they had announced had been completely abandoned! What they were worried about happened. In the end, the one who became a joke was not Hongxin Corporation, but themselves!
"This … they actually admitted it publicly! Toran Bell had just been comforting Lancelot, but now she found it hard to believe!
These people had actually ignored the international standards issued by the Huaxia Computer Association and accepted Hongxin's standards! Toran Bell felt that the Huaxia Computer Association's authority and face were being trampled on by Hongxin Corporation!
"I had underestimated them!" Toran Bell sighed in her heart. After this incident, the Huaxia Computer Association's reputation and position in the industry will be greatly reduced.
Also, the aftermath of this incident had only just begun!
At the Huaxia Computer Association, Walter's situation was not much better than them. Other than those organizations supporting Hongxin's standards, the Huaxia Computer Association was also questioned by the Huaxia Computer Association.
This time, because of the Huaxia Computer Association's restrictions, many American companies and research institutions did not attend the Huaxia Computer Association's meeting. But they were also paying attention to Hongxin Corporation's actions.
When the Huaxia Computer Association found out that Hongxin Corporation's quantum computer technology was much better than IBM's, and Hongxin Corporation was going to be the first to commercialize the quantum computer, the Huaxia Computer Association was anxious!
Whether it was the market competition or the research competition, it was like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind! Hongxin Corporation had taken the lead, and the Huaxia Computer Association will not sit still. They also want to take the initiative to contact Hongxin Corporation to ensure that they will not be eliminated.
Letters of protest were sent to the Huaxia Computer Association's headquarters, and those large companies demanded the Huaxia Computer Association to reconsider the quantum computer standards.
This gave Walter a headache. The Huaxia Computer Association's internal problems had not been resolved, and the Huaxia Computer Association was in chaos.
"Mr. Walter!" IBM's representative, a member of the Huaxia Computer Association's management committee, Pleater, had arrived at the door.
His face was not looking good, as IBM was under a lot of pressure. Some Huaxia Computer Association members had openly questioned IBM's manipulation of the voting results and demanded an investigation!
"I have received many doubtful letters and reports regarding IBM's quantum computer standards. What do you all think?" Walter asked.
Pleater took a deep breath and said with difficulty. "After our internal discussions, we feel that our quantum computer standards might … … have some shortcomings and need to be improved."
After saying this, Pleater seemed to have used up all his energy and did not say another word.
Walter understood what Pleater meant. IBM had admitted defeat! Facing the pressure from the Huaxia Computer Association and Hongxin Corporation's leading technology, IBM had given up on their own standards and wants to adopt Hongxin's standards!
The world's biggest computer company, which claims to be at the forefront of the computing industry, had made such compromises. This is ironic!
"Hmph!" Walter snorted. "How much resources did the Huaxia Computer Association use to get you all to win the voting? Now, you all are giving up? How are we going to clean up this mess? "
Pleater understood what Walter meant. Walter was not willing to give up and wants to make up for the Huaxia Computer Association's losses. Walter said helplessly. "IBM will be sponsoring the Huaxia Computer Association, and if everything goes well, the funds will arrive in three months."
