Chapter 529: Quantum Technology
After the intense and busy preparations of both sides, the first trial of the Qian Kun case finally began. On the second day after the conclusion of the preliminary trial, the court terminated the hearing applications and drew lots for more than 300 hearing applications. In this case, a rare grand jury system was used, which was a 22-member jury.
Even if the judge is the most experienced judge in the court, it is rare to see a full house, and these atmospheres make everyone feel the tension of the saber-rattling.
The court session, the old rules, the prosecution began to elaborate and explain.
Given the wide scope of the case, Kuo read the 20-minute indictment, which included acts of the Flame Court, such as blatant killings, kidnappings, and so on. It also states that the National Criminal Code classifies the Flame Court as a transnational violent criminal gang. During this period, the Nine-Tails drank water three times, and other than that, there was no pause. It is clear that the allegations have been read several times.
In the face of the first wave of attacks from the prosecution, the defense resorted to psychological suggestion tactics. The four lawyers took turns to play haha, their expressions annoyed and weak...... According to the Mythbuster Test, yawning is contagious.
Nine-Tails was able to hold the defense attorney's yawn, but when the judges began to yawn, Nine-Tails was frustrated. She even suspected that she had spent too long reading the charges.
After the Nine-Tails read, the judge motioned for the defense to speak. Ouyang Yi was sitting still, Cao Yun pulled the collar of his suit, stood up and said: "There is a huge contradiction in the prosecution's accusation, assuming that Qian Kun is the backbone of the flame, then it is suspected that the scientific research funds embezzled by Qian Kun belong to the funds of criminal gangs, and what does it have to do with fraud and embezzlement?
Cao Yun: "I personally implore the prosecution to make the charges clear. If the prosecution determines that Qian Kun is the backbone of the flame, then it must be explained again whether the scientific research funds belong to gang crime funds or private enterprise investment funds.
The first is the difficult problem, at present, the prosecution has no evidence to show that the scientific research funds are gang criminal funds, if the prosecution believes that it is criminal funds, there is no embezzlement, misappropriation of scientific research funds and other crimes. If the prosecution admits that it is private enterprise investment funds, the trouble will be even greater. Private enterprises have no opinion and are willing to be encroached upon, and the prosecutor cannot file a case. The prosecution needs a subject, the main body is Dongfang, and the supervisor is Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng resisted the interrogation in silence and was certainly unable to testify for the prosecution.
Fortunately, the third prosecutor is not a vegetarian, and the delicacy of the Nine Tails allowed her to discover this problem one step earlier, and in the face of Cao Yun's question, the Nine Tails replied: "We believe that Qian Kun embezzled, embezzled, and defrauded the scientific research funds invested by private enterprises for the crime of the Flame Gang." ”
Cao Yun was able to ask questions, so he was naturally prepared: "According to the judgment of the national punishment, Flame is a criminal gang with considerable financial resources. It is also because Flame has at least $50 million in criminal funds that the national criminal court will hold a hearing to determine that Flame is an international criminal gang. Now the prosecutor means that Qian Kun used criminal means to embezzle tens of millions of yuan to subsidize the flames. Who's telling the truth?"
Nine-Tails replied: "It is a fact that Flame has great financial resources, and the reason why Qian Kun embezzled scientific research funds is because he has the protection of scientific research in the name of scientific research, and it is easier to make money. For example, it bought a quantum computer, which cost seven million, but it is really just an ordinary computer. ”
Cao Yun asked: "My client's statement on this matter is: he is a victim, and he was deceived of seven million. Quantum Education buys a quantum computer and spends seven million, which is very much in line with the profession and the market, why is it Xian Qian? He was just deceived. He is a scholar, a scientist. Moreover, from the prosecution's allegations, I did not find any dissatisfaction with the investment team that it had been defrauded of $7 million. Since the people who contributed the money are willing to forgive Qian Kun, why can't you prosecutors understand Qian Kun? The emperor is not in a hurry, what are you a palace maid anxious about?"
Nine-tails gave an example, Zhuge Ming knew that it was going to be bad. The shortcoming of the prosecution is that Future Venture Capital currently does not admit that it has been defrauded and that its scientific research funds have been embezzled. The problem of quantum computers has been communicated for a long time, and Qian Kun is a victim and a deception. The scientific research account in charge of Qian Kun did flow out of seven million, and Qian Kun did not benefit.
Whether Qian Kun benefited or not is directly related to the standard of whether Qian Kun's crimes of embezzlement and fraud are established.
Zhuge Ming said: "Your Excellency, I implore the court to first try Qian Kun's suspected crimes of duty. ”
Before the judge could speak, Cao Yun was angry: "Oppose." I was going to make this suggestion before the Pre-Trial Court, but you ignored it. Now you have to try the crimes committed while performing official duties, are you unreasonable?"
Judge: "The objection is invalid, and in view of the complexity of the case, it is agreed to first investigate the crimes committed by the prosecution against the defendant." ”
Cao Yun could only spread his hands.
......
The first evidence is that although Dongtang Quantum Education is headquartered in Dongtang, the core is the Australian Quantum Education Research Laboratory. Dongtang Quantum Education received a total of about 70 million US dollars in scientific research funding, and the Australian Quantum Education Research Laboratory received 63 million US dollars. At present, there are $20 million on the books, and $50 million has been used.
Witness, Director of the Australian Quantum Education Research Office: Jin Yue.
Jin Yue said that the Australian Quantum Education Research Laboratory has a total of 27 employees, including only five researchers, 10 work-study college students, and 12 administrative and logistics personnel. The Australian Quantum Education and Research Laboratory has no financial rights, and Qian Kun is the master of purchasing any experimental products.
Jin Yueju proved that the aforementioned 7 million yuan to buy a quantum computer, and the result was an ordinary computer.
Nine-tails appeared: "Witness Jin Yue, you explained to Qian Kun that it was an ordinary computer that arrived, how did Qian Kun answer?"
Jin Yue replied: "Qian Kun asked me why I opened the quantum computer without his permission, and asked me to reseal it. And I was asked to strictly enforce the administrative norms and not allow me to disclose them to the outside world. Otherwise, I will be held liable in accordance with the confidentiality treaty in the employment contract. ”
Nine-Tails asked, "And then?"
Jin Yue: "I sincerely explain to Qian Kun that this is just a very ordinary computer, not a quantum computer at all. I propose to call the police. Qian Kun rejected my proposal to reconsider the confidentiality treaty. I was going to report the incident to the police the next day, but half an hour later, the lawyer found me and showed me the confidentiality clause in the employment contract. Due to the millions of damages involved, I eventually gave up on calling the police. ”
Nine-Tails asked, "What happened to the computer?"
Jin Yue said: "On the third day, Qian Kun personally went to the research room and told me that he had contacted the shipping company to return the goods and took away the computer. ”
Nine-Tails: "According to the financial statements, no refund records were found. ”
Jin Yue: "Although I am the director of the research office, I have no financial rights. Except for the daily expenses of the laboratory and the remuneration of employees, all expenses must be approved by Qian Kun. ”
Nine-tails asked, "Defendant Qian Kun, is what Jin Yue said the truth?"
Qian Kun: "I ...... from the Eastern Tang Dynasty"
Nine-Tails: "I only asked if Jin Yue was lying?"
Qian Kun: "No. ”
Nine-Tails: "Have you successfully returned the goods?"
Qian Kun: "No. ”
Nine-Tails: "Thank you. ”
Because it's an old problem, it's still Cao Yun on the field.
Cao Yun asked, "Jin Yue, what is your academic background?"
Jin Yue: "High school." ”
Cao Yun: "Do you know what quantum is?"
Jin Yue: "I didn't know before, but I learned a little after I took up the post." ”
Cao Yun nodded: "In other words, you are a layman?"
Jin Yue: "So to speak. ”
Cao Yun: "You layman doesn't concentrate on your own administrative work, but you want financial power? and you dare to open a quantum computer worth seven million without authorization, and you also prove that this is an ordinary computer." Excuse me, if this is really a quantum computer, what will happen if it is operated indiscriminately by you, a layman?"
Nine-Tails: "Objection, the assumption is not valid. ”
Cao Yundao: "The assumption is valid. Because the computer arrived in the research laboratory in the name of a quantum computer, Jin Yue did not have any evidence to prove that the computer was fake, and in this case, Jin Yue dared to open the package and use the computer. From this, we can also see the quality of witnesses, and thus infer the credibility of witness testimony. ”
Nine-Tails said: "Qian Kun has proven that what Jin Yue said is the truth. ”
Cao Yun: "It's the truth, I'm just torturing social morality and professional ethics. We're talking about quantum technology beyond modernity, and I don't know how many of you understand it, I don't understand it anyway. I don't know that I would never unpack a quantum computer, especially if I don't have the authority to do so. So I asked Jin Yue to explain the reason for unpacking the computer. ”
Judge: "The objection is invalid, witness Jin Yue, please answer." ”
Jin Yue replied: "Because there is no actual work in the laboratory, the main scientific researchers have been making paperwork, collecting global quantum science data and summarizing quantum technology. Didn't really experiment. So I have doubts about a quantum computer worth seven million. As the head of the research department, I am also responsible for the research department, although I am in charge of administration and logistics. ”
Cao Yun asked, "Jin Yue, do you know what experiments Hawking has done?"
Jin Yue: "I...... I do not know. ”
Cao Yun said: "Many people say that Hawking has a false name, why? Because Hawking doesn't seem to have made anything. What I'm trying to say here is that Hawking is a theoretical scientist, like Xie Er, they don't need to do experiments. Scientists you know are called experimental scientists, and they demonstrate the reliability of theories through experiments. What's wrong with collecting data? Why should we do our own research when we have already achieved certain results in quantum science research?"
Cao Yun: "Qian Kun, you are a professional, what do you think about this?"
Qian Kun said: "Quantum education is a new thing that has just sprouted, and the five scientific researchers are young people, promising young people. But because I was young, I lacked experience and knowledge. In this case, I plan to spend three years to comprehensively synthesize the current research results of quantum technology, and then enter the two stages of quantum education theory and experimentation. In fact, two researchers have come up with some novel ideas on quantum education. For example, the relationship between quantum entanglement and human brain waves was published eight months ago in a well-known scientific journal in a country. Scientists generally agree that this idea is very bold, original and courageous. ”
This area is a collective white space for the prosecution and the defense, as well as for the jury and judges. The third general of the prosecution knows that there is no point in dwelling on science. The spirit of science is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them. Now quantum is studying the multiverse, five-dimensional and even six-dimensional space. This is to be dragged into debate, and the trial becomes a scientific braggart. Ahh
Nine-tails said: "Lawyer on the other side, the focus is on seven million quantum computers. The shipping company is the Canadian Institute of Quantum Computer Technology. According to our investigation, this institute is registered in the name of a company and is a leather bag company. ”
Cao Yun said: "What the prosecutor said is not right, it is not a leather bag company, but a scam company." Qian Kun, have you returned the goods?"
Qian Kun replied: "There is no return." ”
Cao Yun: "Why?"
Qian Kun: "Because I couldn't get in touch, I found that the other party should be a liar after verification." ”
Cao Yun: "Why don't you explain this?"
Qian Kun: "The loss of 7 million is certainly very large, if I report this matter to Future Venture Capital, then Future Venture Capital may withdraw because of this." This is not only a milestone lag for quantum science, but also a devastating blow to the future development of mankind. ”
Sima Cheng couldn't help it: "Bragging, right? Without quantum education, it will be destroyed?"
Qian Kun replied: "The quantum computer was proposed in the eighties, and it was impossible to prove its possibility at that time. If we assume that quantum computers were rejected at that time, then are there quantum computers and quantum information now? Prosecutors now consider quantum education to be bragging, an attitude that is extremely ignorant and arrogant in the scientific community. Looking at the development of science and technology, how many impossible things have become possible? Airplanes, ships, trains, nuclear energy, landing on the moon, and so on, what is possible before starting? Taking airplanes as an example, how many people believed that tens of tons of steel could fly in the sky?
Based on science, Qian Kun began to speak at length, and kept talking for three minutes in one breath, forcing Sima Luo to bow: "I'm sorry, it's my slip of the tongue, I apologize." "It's not debated.
Nine-Tails: "In other words, Qian Kun, you are worried that the seven million deceived will be known by the future venture capital, so you blocked the news?"
Qian Kun replied: "Yes, I am a scientist, not a businessman. I didn't expect that a properly registered company would turn out to be a scammer. I must admit my ignorance in this regard. ”
Nine-tails said: "We have already found out the whereabouts of this money, but since the charges are being tried separately, first ask the jury to pay attention to it and write down this money, which is seven million." We will give proof in the Flame Violent Criminal Gang. ”
Cao Yun said: "I don't know what proof there is. Let me explain again that Qian Kun is a victim. As for Qian Kun's concealment, I think the right to speak should be handed over to future venture capital. As far as I know, Zhao Feng, the director in charge of the investment of quantum education funds, has been controlled by the police, so why didn't the prosecutor apply for Zhao Feng to testify in court?"
