Everyone looked at him. Lu Zixin continued, "Since we dared to offer such an agreement, we can naturally guarantee the research results and time."
Wang Kai asked, "How can we guarantee it? Just the problem of maintaining the superconducting properties at room temperature is a problem that not many research institutes in the world can solve! "
Feng Weijun also said, "More importantly, we still need to create a new type of superconducting material for industrial production. We need to consider the cost, equipment, practical application, and other factors. We can't use the laboratory methods. This problem can't be solved!"
At this time, the CEO of Tai Guang Magnetic Materials, Sima Jin, didn't say anything. Their doubts were also Sima Jin's doubts. If this problem couldn't be solved, he definitely wouldn't have signed this agreement.
"Others can't solve it, but that doesn't mean that Hongxin can't!" Lu Zixin's words shocked everyone. This was a world-class problem in the field of new materials. Could Hongxin have a solution?
"The two of you are technical experts in this field. Let me ask you, if Tai Guang Magnetic Materials were to solve the problem of superconducting materials for quantum computers, what would you do?"
Lu Zixin's question put Wang Kai and Feng Weijun in a difficult position. If they knew, why would they come here?
Wang Kai was already thinking of backing out. This CEO of Hongxin didn't seem to be reliable at all. After talking for so long, he still wanted to ask them! It seemed that this deal couldn't be discussed today.
"Tell General Lu." Sima Jin still had a trace of hope in his heart and wanted to continue the discussion. Even if this deal couldn't be done, he still wanted to show his company's strength. Maybe he could get a deal on other materials.
Wang Kai could only brace himself and say, "Currently, in the international frontier of quantum computing, materials need to be cooled to absolute zero to achieve superconducting properties. However, we haven't found a material that can superconduct at room temperature yet. "
"Internationally, Tokyo University and the Science Promotion Agency have used optical fibers and programmable semiconductors to achieve room temperature superconducting technology. Stanford University has proposed a semiconductor crystal material that can adjust the atomic array in the crystal to create a structural unit that can" confine "a single spin electron. The material made can also achieve room temperature quantum chips."
Lu Zixin smiled and said, "What you're talking about is the normal-temperature superconductivity method for optical quantum computers, and it can only exist in the laboratory. What we need is the normal temperature superconducting material required for a superconducting quantum computer. "
"General Lu, this is something that even our international counterparts can't do. We can't accept your request! " Feng Weijun's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "You said that Hongxin can solve it, then may I ask what Hongxin Corporation can do?"
Lu Zixin smiled and said, "You don't have to use alloys to make superconducting materials. It's also possible to use metal-like materials. For example, you can use carbon to make metal-like materials."
"You mean graphene? This material can't be used to make a quantum chip, right? "
"It's not graphene, but a new type of material that can completely achieve superconductivity at room temperature. It's also industrially produced," Lu Zixin said. "If you don't mind, let's go take a look now."
"What? There's such a material? " The people from Tai Guang Magnetic Materials were shocked. If there really was such a material, it should have been reported in the new material industry long ago!
But they had never heard of it, nor had they heard of it in the international new material industry.
Lu Zixin had already synthesized this new material in Hongxin's physics laboratory and handed it to the staff to make a superconducting quantum chip for testing. He had just received the results and was quite satisfied with the results, so he brought them to take a look.
Sima Jin and the others were in a commercial car behind Lu Zixin's car. They took out their phones and communicated in WeChat.
Wang Kai was the first to speak. "Boss, I don't think we can reach an agreement this time. Hongxin Corporation's contract is too overbearing. Our company still doesn't have the ability to develop the material they want. "
Feng Weijun: "Yeah, they want normal-temperature superconductivity, industrially produced, and even quantum computing. Each of these are world-class problems! Not to mention us, even Hongxin Corporation will have trouble finding a top-notch material supplier from America or Japan! "
"I think commercialization of their quantum computer will be delayed for a few more years! It's best if our company doesn't sign this contract. If we invest in it, we won't be able to make a profit in a few years. We will be dragged down! "
Sima Jin was puzzled. "I understand this, but that General Lu keeps saying that they have a way to solve it. If it's true, then we will only need to manufacture it. It's equivalent to signing a big client, and we won't have to worry for the next few years! "
Assistant Hu Cai persuaded. "Boss, they are purposely creating this illusion to make us feel that we can invest in it."
"Hu Cai is right!" Chief Technical Director Wang Kai continued. "There are too many tricks like this. When we go there later, there will definitely be a bunch of experts bragging about how good their technology is and how it will be realized soon. Then, nothing will come out. "
"In the end, we still have to invest in the research and development ourselves. They want to shift the research and development costs to us. We can't be fooled! "
"Really? Hongxin Corporation's reputation has always been good. Why would they do this? "Sima Jin was shaken by their words.
"In any case, we should be more careful." Feng Weijun said. "When we go there later, as long as they can't produce results, we shouldn't agree to whatever they brag about. Also, I am 100% sure that they definitely haven't solved this problem. Otherwise, why would they want to cooperate with us? "
"Okay, you are the experts in technology. We will see what you have to say later." Sima Jin agreed.
…
Soon, they arrived at one of Hongxin's research centers and were led to the testing laboratory.
"General Lu, this is the chip and the test results." A staff member handed over the superconducting quantum chip made from the new material and the test results.
Lu Zixin took a look and had a rough idea of what was going on. Reed Richards was indeed a genius scientist. The new material he gave not only solved the problem of overheating and superconductivity, but also had many other characteristics. The superconducting quantum chip's operation was much smoother, and there was no problem in industrial production.
"Everyone, look!" Lu Zixin picked up the superconducting quantum chip and said, "This is the superconducting quantum chip made by our Hongxin Corporation using the new material. There are no problems with the chip's performance."
"And this new material is made up of carbon nanosphere arrays. It integrates high-density qubits and does not require low temperature cooling to perfectly maintain the superconducting properties at normal temperature."
"Not only that, our carbon extraction method and material synthesis costs have been greatly reduced. We can completely achieve industrial production!"
