Computer Science and Cutting-edge Engineering Technology
一、英文改编正文
Global research teams keep pushing forward
the boundary of computer science and advanced engineering technology
to break through the performance bottleneck
of traditional computing hardware.
Next-generation microchips with refined internal structures
can deliver stronger computing power
while consuming far less electric energy
than the existing mainstream electronic components.
Quantum computing, as a revolutionary technical direction,
adopts unique physical properties of quantum particles
to handle complicated calculation tasks
that ordinary computers can hardly finish within acceptable time.
The Internet of Things connects massive sensing devices
across factories, cities and natural monitoring sites,
and it can collect real-time environmental data
to support intelligent automatic control in various engineering scenes.
Artificial intelligence (AI) also serves as a powerful auxiliary tool
for engineering researchers to simulate material structures,
predict equipment operation risks
and shorten the whole cycle of product research and development.
Automated robotic systems with precise control modules
carry out high-risk and repetitive industrial operations,
which effectively reduce human operating errors
and improve the safety level of large-scale engineering projects.
二、完整译文
全球各地科研团队持续推进
计算机科学与先进工程技术的发展边界，
用来突破传统计算硬件
存在的性能瓶颈。
内部结构经过精细优化的新一代微芯片，
能够输出更强的算力，
同时相比当下主流电子元件，
消耗的电能大幅降低。
量子计算作为一项变革性技术方向，
利用量子粒子独有的物理特性，
处理那些普通计算机
难以在合理时间内完成的复杂计算任务。
物联网把分布在工厂、城市以及自然监测点位
海量传感设备相互连接，
实时采集环境数据，
为各类工程场景下的智能自动控制提供支撑。
人工智能（Artificial intelligence (AI)）同样是强大辅助工具，
帮助工程科研人员模拟材料结构，
