1203 What to Do After ThisCountless business owners who were attracted by the new quantum computer in the eastern docks area had the same idea as Boss Ding.When Star Sky Technology first announced that Star Voyage One would be in Shanghai, countless companies sent representatives to the city to investigate a potential investment in this development zone.

Jinling’s high-tech zone was basically saturated, but this place was an unexplored land.

Boss Ding was worrying about which piece of land to buy and which bank he would take out a loan from. On the other hand, a group of men in casual clothes and hard hats stood at the construction site of the Star Voyage One supercomputing entrance.

Among them was the person in charge of the development zone management committee. The leader of the city council investment committee was also there, as well as Director Li and Lu Zhou.

“This is unbelievable…”

As Director Li looked at the towering steel frame and concrete structure, he said emotionally, “It’s only been two months, and it looks almost complete. This is…”

He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “It’s like it’s appearing out of nowhere, right?”

Director Li nodded and said,

“Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel.”

It wasn’t difficult to build a building in two months, but this building was special.

“It’s using modular construction technology.”

Lu Zhou squinted and continued to speak with a smile, “Actually, I don’t understand it very well. I just listened to the people in our institute talk about how this is a modification of the lunar surface construction technology from Shanghai Heavy Industry Group. The engineering aspects have been slightly modified to account for the earth’s gravity environment. This technology saved us a lot of construction time”

Director Li spoke.

“Sure enough, science and technology are the driving forces of productivity.”

Lu Zhou gently smiled.

“Of course.”

“Actually, I still have a question…” Director Li said. He noticed Lu Zhou looking at him, so he quickly said, “Don’t look at me like that, I swear, this is only just a question.”

Lu Zhou: “… Go ahead.”

“The test quantum computer that I tried last time, isn’t it only the size of my palm?” After making a gesture with his index finger, Director Li continued to speak with a confused look on his face, “Why is it a big building?”

“You said the reason yourself. That thing was just a test product and could only perform specific calculations on specific problems. If we want to handle different complex problems and use it like a general-purpose computer, we have to analyze its quantum logic circuit gates and design a system architecture, as well as an operating system. Then combine everything, it’s like…”

After thinking about how to describe this concept, Lu Zhou said, “It’s like organizing a group of individually well-trained soldiers into an army.”

Director Li said, “Can you find a better analogy next time?”

Lu Zhou said, “No I can’t, all analogies are not accurate.”

Director Li: “… I think using analogies I can understand are better.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

…

Lu Zhou had always believed that the path of an individual was inseparable from the destiny of society as a whole.

The reason why he was able to build a collider on the Moon was because of the support from the state, as well as other conditions that supported him.

After all, without the help from other scientific fields, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this level of success.

If a person couldn’t even afford to pay for food, there was no way that person could focus on doing great things.

The creation of controllable fusion technology greatly boosted human productivity. This created technological advances in a range of fields, from energy to materials and chemicals. It turned fantasy into reality.

Also, the series of aerospace activities, including the Moon landing project, had gradually manifested its value in technological innovations, rather than simply being a consumption of social resources.

Lu Zhou and the Lunar Orbit Committee were preparing for an even larger project.

Which was the lunar mass driver.

If they could build the lunar mass driver, they could easily send minerals from the lunar surface to the lunar transfer orbit.

As a result, sending minerals from the surface of the moon to the earth would not only provide experimental value, but it would also provide economic value. This was especially true for rare earth resources, such as helium-3.

After effectively creating endless energy using nuclear fusion, they were also about to solve the problem of scarce raw materials.

However, resources alone were not enough.

China’s economy had long ceased to solely rely on resource exports. They were no longer the low-end raw materials supplier in the global industrial chain.

They had to find a way to achieve higher production capacity.

So far, the Jinling high-tech zone had achieved some initial success.

By relying on the research and development from the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the Jinling high-tech zone represented the Chinese industry. They occupied most of the market share in carbon-based materials and electric vehicles.

As for the eastern docks zone, that was a bold attempt to expand the “Jinling high-tech zone model” to the whole country.

Which was to use technology-focused companies as the backbone and production-focused companies as the body, forming a production relationship. They could create a production system driven entirely by research and development forces.

Of course, although these things sounded simple in theory. They were actually not so easy to do.

No matter how strong their backbone was, they couldn’t withstand the storm from the international market.

This was the problem.

There was only one Academician Lu, only one Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

The Jinling high-tech zone could rely on the research and development strength of the Institute for Advanced Study, but the eastern docks development zone in Shanghai was not so lucky.

To a large extent, the reason why the Star Voyage One quantum supercomputing center was chosen to be located in Shanghai instead of Jinling was because of this.

Lu Zhou hoped to use Star Voyage One to incubate a group of technology-intensive companies that focused on Ru0026D, just like Star Sky Technology, and focused on intellectual property development.

Although it was foolish to expect them to replicate the success of Star Sky Technology, sometimes quantity was over quality.

This industrial backbone did not have to be supported by one company only…
