BTC Chapter 401 : Transfer of Authority

Edited: XiaXue


“Is it really so serious?” Officials from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology still do not believe it.

Quantum physicists said: “According to my observation, there have been many representatives from all over the world. In particular, I have seen some faces from United States, all of whom are famous in the scientific and computer fields.”

“I think, long before, there will be people in Americans who will recognize Red Letter standard.”

“Well, I know, you report the details.”

……

The conference closing ceremony is being held at China Quantum Computer Conference.

Huo Wenguo, president of China Computer Association, stood on the stage with red face. The audience was representatives from various countries and institutions.

This is the first time that they have attended with so many delegates, and many of them are top international research institutions and multinational companies!

“This conference was very successful, especially on the standard of quantum computers. Most of the delegates agreed with our views and adopted the standards of Red Letter Group.”

“We warmly welcome institutions, companies and universities that recognize us and are interested in technical exchanges…”

Huo Wenguo said a lot, in fact, the core is a sentence, if these representatives can publicly express the recognition of the quantum computer standard of Red Letter, and the Chinese computer industry united front, you can get some help in quantum computer technology.

This is not to give them benefits, but once these countries and regions have adopted the Chinese standards, China will be able to control the core technology of this industry, just like US giant computer companies to get more interest.

The conference was successfully concluded, China Computer Association also issued a news bulletin for this purpose, and wrote a lot. It also specifically stated that more than 200 companies, universities and scientific research institutions attended the conference!

This number has reached three-fifths of the previous super-conferences held in the United States!

“Three-fifths! Look, these people completely use our words as nonsense!” IEEE Association Office, Chairman Lancelot flies into a rage!

In the office, the documents were sprinkled on the ground by him, and they were all about China Quantum Computer Association.

“Chairman, although they claim that there are so many delegates to attend, there are not many participants from United States, they are small countries that have made good relations with China, and those in Europe.” Vice President Tolan Bell Admonished, “This has little effect on us.”

“Not big?” Lancelot muttered. “If there were so many bastards who dared to go to China in the past! If we let them grow up this time, our days will be sad!”

“I’m afraid it is already.” At this time, Lancelot’s assistant said with a bitter face, “The news that has just been received, the British ARM company said it will use the quantum computer standard of Red Letter Group to conduct research and product research and development.”

“In addition to them, there is French Institute of Atomic Energy, Netherlands Superconducting Quantum Circuit Laboratory, German Center for Quantum Technology Research, University of Innsbruck, Austria… and our Maryland Quantum Research Team of American University, Yale University Superconducting Quantum, Sixty-eight companies, research institutes, and universities such as Circuit Lab and California University, Santa Barbara, have publicly stated that they will use China Computer Association to publish the quantum computer standards set by Red Letter Group.”

Assistant read it all to the back, Lancelot’s face also turned from anger at the beginning to numbness and disappointment. In the list he read, the world’s most advanced research centers in the quantum field have basically recognized the standards of Red Letter.

This shows that their published IBM company standards have been completely abandoned! What worries about to happen, and eventually became a joke, not Red Letter Group, but themselves!

“This… they actually admitted it publicly! Publicly admitted!” Tolan Bell was still comforting Lancelot, and now he is unbelievable!

These people actually disregarded the international standards they issued, but they recognized Red Letter Group standards! He feels the authority of the association, his face is ruthlessly trampled by Red Letter Group, and even rubbed on the ground!

“It’s still too small for them!” Tolan Bell sighed in the heart, I am afraid that after this incident, the reputation and industry status of the association will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the follow-up impact of this matter has just begun!

American Computer Society, Walter’s situation is not much better than them, or even worse. Because in addition to those institutions that support Red Letter Group standards, the association has also received a lot of doubts.

This time, because of their constraints, many American companies and scientific research institutions did not attend, but they are also paying attention to the actions of Red Letter Group.

When they found out that the other party actually had quantum computer technology far higher than IBM, and they were the first to introduce commercial quantum computers, they were eager!

Whether it is market competition or scientific research competition, it is against the water, and if you do not advance, you will retreat! Everyone has gone to the front, and of course they can’t sit still and want to take the initiative to contact Red Letter Group to ensure that they are not eliminated by times.

Therefore, a letter of protest was sent to American Computer Society Headquarters, and those big companies and even tough companies asked the association to reconsider the quantum computer standard.

This made Walter a headache. The external things were not solved, the internals were in a mess.

“Mr. Walter!” Outside the door, IBM representative, Plit, a member of Computer Society Management Committee, arrived.

His face is not very good-looking, and IBM is under a lot of pressure. Some members of the association even openly questioned IBM’s control of the voting results and asked for an investigation!

“I have received a lot of questioning letters and reports here, all about IBM’s quantum computer standards. What do you think?” Walter asked.

Plit takes a deep breath and says with a hard time: “After serious discussions within our company, we think our quantum computer standards may… maybe… there are some shortcomings that need improvement.”

He said this sentence, like running out of his own strength, no longer saying a word.

Walter understood what he meant, and IBM was confessing! Faced with pressure from within the industry, facing the technical leadership of Red Letter Group, they gave up their own standards and went to adopt the standards of Red Letter Group!

Claiming to be at the forefront of the computer industry, the world’s largest computer business machine company, actually making such compromises and concessions, it is a kind of irony!

“Hump!” Walter coldly snorted, “How much resources did the association use in order to get you a vote? Now you give up this? How does the association end?”

Plit understood what he meant, and Walter was not willing to make up for the loss of the association. He said helplessly: “IBM has a funded sponsorship for association. If nothing unexpected, it will arrive in three months.”
