Chen Yiran originally thought that such a high-tech thing as quantum computers might be of some help to him once they were developed, but after listening to a few hours of classes at home, Jasmine judged that this thing was probably just a showpiece in the short term.

Quantum bits are too fragile, and the quantum state duration is too short, on the order of milliseconds. Normal calculations are often delayed until decoherence occurs. I believe that quantum computers will only be useful as specialized machines for specific tasks in the short term; they are practically useless for running specific algorithms.

Even in areas where he excels, the classic supercomputing approach combined with the GPU computing framework found in modern vehicles can solve the problem much better, and at a higher cost-performance ratio.

Chen Yiran, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Preskill's attitude, took the opportunity to hand over the task to his subordinates and then simply ignored it.

There was no rush to go to SpaceX, since Christmas was almost here anyway. Chen Yiran and Olson decided to stay in Los Angeles since they had nothing else to do.

Although he was very familiar with Los Angeles, this was the first time Pidan had ever been here.

So the two of them took him around and had a blast. Now Pidan is a big star dog, even more recognizable than Chen Yiran with his hat on.

Several times when he went out, he was recognized by people, and more people wanted to take photos with him than with Chen Yiran.

Even on Santa Monica Beach, it caused a small commotion. A group of people went to a nearby stall, bought a flying saucer, and threw it to Pidan. Pidan didn't know which one to catch, and in the end, he just froze for more than a minute before finally sitting on Chen Yiran's feet, grumbling and complaining.

The video was uploaded to DUCK Video and garnered tens of millions of views on the same day. Pidan's account also became the account with the most followers on DUCK Video, and was hailed as DUCK Video's strongest weapon against YouTube.

And so it went until Christmas Day. In the afternoon, Olson drove Chen Yiran back to his parents' house to celebrate Christmas.

Chen Yiran wasn't very nervous. He knew very well that he was a scumbag, so he didn't feel any burden.

Moreover, Olsen's parents are not very traditional. After their three daughters became successful, they now travel around and enjoy life. This Christmas, they took their good-for-nothing son to Florida for vacation, so although the three sisters went back to their parents' house for the holiday, they didn't even get to see their parents.

Chen Yiran will only meet Olsen's two older sisters this time, the famous Olsen sisters from the United States.

When they arrived, Olsen opened the door and was greeted by a large gray cat that rubbed against his legs.

Then an orange cat and a black cat heard the noise and ran out. The three cats unknowingly formed a triangle around the egg.

Pidan quickly gave a strong response, sitting directly on Chen Yiran's feet and then curling up to look at Chen Yiran.

Olsen's older sister, Ashley, came out of the kitchen and called the cats away to rescue Pidan. He looked at Chen Yiran and said, "Chen, it's nice to meet you. Although Elizabeth told us that she chose the good stocks after reading economics books, our whole family knows that you must have taught her. Thank you."

Olsen, a little shy, pushed her sister inside, saying, "Give me some face! Come on in! I'm hungry, is dinner ready?"

Ashley said with a hint of helplessness, "With Mom gone, Mary insists on taking over as head chef, and she's causing trouble right now."

Olsen's pupils immediately dilated: "Is it too late for us to run?"

Ashley awkwardly said to Chen Yiran, "My sister Mary's cooking skills are really not that great, but she's very enthusiastic about cooking. But don't worry, there are professional chefs in the kitchen, we can just eat what they make. But we still have to give her some face and try a little bit of what Mary makes."

Olsen shook his head frantically: "I won't eat it! I don't want a single bite! What was that pie he made last time? It was neither sweet nor salty, and it tasted like roasted pig. It was awful!"

"Oh dear, just one bite won't kill you."

The three of them entered the house and went straight to the kitchen, where the second sister, Mary, was pouring some unknown seasoning over the turkey.

Upon seeing Chen Yiran, he greeted her politely, then said with great confidence, "This seasoning is a recipe I modified myself. This is my chance to redeem myself. Today's turkey will definitely be outstanding."

Olsen quickly dragged Chen Yiran to the living room, deciding to avoid seeing her and getting annoyed.

Chen Yiran asked in a low voice, "Your parents just abandoned you three sisters like that? It seems like you had a very lonely Christmas."

Olsen whispered, "It's a special case. A month ago, neither of them was single. We thought there would be three men coming home for Christmas this year. Who knew they both broke up before Christmas? Otherwise, Mom and Dad wouldn't have abandoned us. Of course, it's also my brother's fault; he insisted on going to Miami for research!"

"It's definitely useless. He's been drawing for so many years, and he's never published a single comic. He can only earn a little money when he's doing odd jobs for others. He's unwilling to spend his own money on promotion or publish his own work."

Christmas was supposed to be spent in this somewhat lonely atmosphere, but before dinner, the door opened again.

Olsen's parents gave him a surprise, but their good-for-nothing son flew back from Miami to comfort his two ex-daughters.

Of course, with three future sons-in-law reduced to one, Chen Yiran bore the brunt of the criticism.

Fortunately, given Chen Yiran's current status, Olsen's parents treat him very well, practically ready to show off their dowry.

After dinner, Olsen drove Chen Yiran back to his home. On the way, she asked with a hint of curiosity, "To be honest, I feel like you're the worst kind of scumbag. You definitely won't marry me. But if I just stay here and don't leave, are you planning to break up with me later?"

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Marriage is impossible, but I think we can have a child. If you want one, we can do it today."

Olsen thought for a moment and said, "I'm still very young, it's too early. Besides, even if I wanted to, it wouldn't be possible today."

"Oh, your aunt's coming today? That's not a good day!"

"No, Dada's coming over to play later! I don't want my son to be conceived under these circumstances! Of course, you can ask Dada; if she's willing, we can do it today!"
