Surveying the Sky and Watching from a Distance

In 2056, 30 years have passed since China's "15th Five-Year Plan" listed quantum technology as the first future industry. Deep in the Cuihu Science and Technology Park in Beijing, Lu Mingtao, the chief architect of Jiutian Quantum Company, is leading a team to attack the last bastion of quantum computing in the world - error-correctable logical qubits. The American company Arcturus has been the first to claim a breakthrough, and the defense of a major national quantum technology project is imminent. However, the 1024-bit "Wukong-7" chip in his hand always has the most critical signal-to-noise ratio. In a desperate situation, he placed his bet on a secret project codenamed "Sky Survey" - a revolutionary route that was completely different from the world's mainstream and used topological physics to achieve fault-tolerant computing. But the feasibility of this path is controversial even among physics experts. Under the same starry sky, Jiang Yi of Shenzhen Cambrian Technology took a different approach and used the brain-like chip "Tianxuan" with a mature 28-nanometer process to achieve an energy efficiency ratio of 800 times that of Nvidia's most powerful chip. His goal is not mobile phones or servers, but neural monitoring of astronauts on the Chinese space station and human-machine fusion on the moon base. Two technical routes, a group of Chinese scientific and technological people who "want to compete with God". Caught between the frontier and danger, in the game of blockade and breakout, they spent the most ardent years of their lives to make a promise about the stars and the sea. This is the long march of a generation and the final sprint for a technologically powerful country.
