Chapter 1213: The difference between importance and computer development

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the first super-large cross-sea channel jointly built by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao under the framework of "one country, two systems". It is 55 kilometers long, with a designed service life of 120 years and a total investment of about 120 billion yuan. It is expected to start construction during the 11th Five-Year Plan.

This is a new century project belonging to the 21st century!

There are currently three main plans, one is a full bridge form, one is a full submarine tunnel form, and one is a combination of bridge and tunnel!

Liu Tao has attended many meetings and is also the first proposer and promoter. Naturally, he is very clear about the country's attention to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The entire Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area includes 2 special administrative regions and 9 prefecture-level cities, with a population of nearly 100 million and a large economic aggregate. It is one of the most open and economically dynamic regions in China, and it has an important strategic position in the overall national development.

The entire Bay Area has obvious location advantages, strong economic strength, agglomeration of innovative elements, leading internationalization level, and a good foundation for cooperation. It will be built into a vibrant world-class urban agglomeration, an international science and technology innovation center with global influence, a window for China to meet the world, an important support for China to face the regional economic integration of ASEAN, a demonstration zone for in-depth cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and a high-quality living circle suitable for living, working and traveling, becoming a model of high-quality development.

Once such a strategy is set, it will be continuously implemented in the future.

At present, China has four national strategic centers of gravity: the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the Southwest.

This has also formed four national-level urban agglomerations, and the four national-level strategic centers also have their own characteristics.

In the future, the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta will promote regional economic integration and break down internal barriers. For the Pearl River Delta, it is necessary to include Hong Kong and Macao to form a "Greater Pearl River Delta", which will not only radiate to the surrounding provinces and cities, but also to the entire Nanyang.

And the Southwest is responsible for the three major burdens of promoting the development of the central and western regions and radiating to Nanyang and South Asia.

This is a national strategic level, not for one or two years, but for a long time, with continuous efforts from one term to another.

Hong Kong wants to reclaim land on a large scale, but it is no longer feasible now!

Hong Kong's future development will revolve around finance, tourism, international trade, luxury brands, Internet technology, education, biomedicine, etc. As for normal manufacturing, it must be transferred to the mainland.

This is the general trend, which cannot be stopped by individuals or individual interest groups.

Just like in recent years, the discussion about Hong Kong's land reclamation plan has been very intense, and it has been fiercely criticized by environmental protection personnel and other countries.

Even within Hong Kong, there is no unified opinion on this.

Ho Ying-tung couldn't help but reveal a touch of disappointment in his eyes.

Today, Hong Kong's population exceeds 15 million, most of whom are immigrants from outside Hong Kong, and this is already the ceiling of Hong Kong's population.

This year, Hong Kong's immigration policy has been tightened. In the past, people with a bachelor's degree could immigrate to Hong Kong, but now, they must have a bachelor's or master's degree from a key university.

If Hong Kong wants more population, it must need more land area, and more land area must be created through land reclamation.

Of course, some Hong Kong people have a wild idea, that is, to give some areas of Pengcheng to Hong Kong, so that the administrative area of ​​Hong Kong can be expanded.

But this operation is too difficult!

Liu Tao knows what Huo Yingdong and others want, but at his current level, he is looking at the whole country, the whole country as a chessboard, the whole world, and the world as a chessboard.

Hong Kong is just a point, a more important point.

Compared with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategy, the importance of the entire Hong Kong is more than one level lower.

Not to mention, during the 11th Five-Year Plan, the two major strategies of the development of the central and western regions and the revitalization of the old industrial base in the northeast will be further promoted. In the Red River Delta, investment will also be increased to further promote the development of the Red River Delta and promote the construction of the entire Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.

Southwest, Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, these are not only China's regional strategies, but also China's grand strategies facing Southeast Asia and South Asia!

It is self-evident which is more important.

Liu Tao came to Hong Kong to attend the World Computer Internet Conference this time, not only to meet old friends in Hong Kong, but also to attend the opening ceremony of the conference.

He also participated in some exchanges.

He also represents the country's high attention to the World Computer Internet Conference.

It also expresses the country's attention to the development of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is one of China's computer Internet centers, and the National Internet Center (Hong Kong) serves the entire Southeast Asia and Oceania.

The two national supercomputing centers, the National Supercomputing Pengcheng Center and the National Supercomputing Yangcheng Center, not only provide computing power support for South China, but also for the entire Southeast Asia and Oceania.

At this World Computer Internet Conference, China officially announced that the computing speed of China's latest supercomputer reached 12.71 trillion times per second, far ahead of the world.

The development level of supercomputers represents the highest level of development of a country in the field of computers.

At present, China is far ahead of the world in the field of supercomputers. The development of Chinese computers and the Internet is supported by advanced supercomputers.

Second, it is the United States. The supercomputers of the United States are second only to China and far ahead of other countries. The supercomputers of other countries are not a little behind the United States.

When attending a future computer development exchange meeting, Liu Tao boldly predicted that in less than 10 years, the computing power of supercomputers will enter the exascale era, and quantum computers will usher in rapid development in 10 years.

The concept of quantum computer originated from the research on reversible computers. It is a new computer based on quantum theory. It follows the laws of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations, store and process quantum information. Quantum computers use quantum bits, which can be in multiple states at the same time, unlike traditional computers that are in a binary state of 0 or 1.

It has been more than 30 years since the quantum computer was proposed, and it has been continuously improved in theory, but quantum computers have not yet been born.

Europe, the United States and Japan have invested heavily in quantum computers, intending to lead the world in the field of quantum computers, so as to overtake and change the current situation in which China is the only one in the field of computer research and development.

Of course, in the computer field, in addition to quantum computers, optical computers are also a hot topic in terms of future development trends.

The so-called optical computer is an optical computer, which is made of optical fibers and various optical components based on the principle that the propagation speed of light is faster than that of electrons. It relies on a small beam of low-power laser to enter the optical circuit composed of reflectors and lenses to perform "thinking", but it also has storage, calculation and control functions.
