2012 was definitely a quiet year for the quantum communications industry.

In the stock market, the quantum communication industry continues to be hot, the stock prices of major quantum technology companies have soared, and investors are happy;

In the capital market, the secure communication industry of quantum communication has received close attention, and from the government to major capital companies, they have increased their investment in it.

In fact, as early as 2011, the developed countries in the world, represented by M Europe, have carried out the construction and research of quantum communication networks for a long time, but in general, the network is small in scale, simple in structure and limited in scalability.

However, quantum communication is a strategic field related to national information and national defense security, and it is very likely to change the development pattern of the information industry in the future.

In the "Five-Year Plan" for the development of science and technology from 2013 to 2017, "quantum information and control technology" was listed as one of the six disruptive research areas to be focused on in the future, and quantum technology has become one of the six major technical directions of M**!

At the beginning of 2012, the "Quantum Technology Roadmap" of country Y proposed to realize the commercialization of point-to-point quantum secure communication within 5 years, and realize comprehensive quantum secure communication after 10 years!

The EU's "Quantum Declaration" also makes it clear that it will focus on the development of quantum repeaters and point-to-point quantum secure communication within 5 years, focus on the development of intercity quantum networks and quantum credit cards in 5~10 years, and focus on the realization of quantum repeaters with encryption and monitoring detection functions after 10 years, and will also build a secure pan-European Internet by integrating quantum communication and traditional communication.

The Toray Cabinet Office and the Japan Science and Technology Agency have also launched the "Toray Disruptive Technology Innovation Program," which supports a project called "Realizing the Foundations of an Advanced Knowledge Society Using Quantum Networks to Connect Quantum Artificial Brains," which focuses on breakthroughs in quantum artificial brains, quantum simulations, and quantum security networks.

The world will follow up and develop quantum communication technology as a key technology in the future, and China is naturally not far behind, and has also launched the project of "Quantum Science Experimental Satellite", a special project of strategic leading science and technology, and plans to complete the declaration and construction of the "Beijing-Shanghai trunk line" project of quantum secure communication.

However, few people know that in a small laboratory in China, a young man in his 20s leads a team with an average age of no more than 30 years old, vowing to break the traditional R&D pattern and embark on a new path in quantum communication technology!

albeit

Most people are not optimistic about this, and even think that this young man is delusional,

However, everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Liu Feng's arrangement.

Each of these people was responsible for a part of the R&D project, and in the end, none of them quit Professor Liu's team.

Life is like ****, since you can't resist, then devote yourself to it!

Anyway, this bit of loneliness and grievance, for scientists, what is it?

As a result, the offshore mass subon communication technology laboratory was formally established.

After staying in the big laboratory for two days, distributing the research and development topics to the technical backbones below, and then explaining to them some things that need attention, Liu Feng hurriedly took several of his apprentices to a certain airport of the Air Force, ready to take the Air Force's 'SF Express' to Dalian to participate in the delivery ceremony of the Navy's first aircraft carrier.

As for the problem that these people in the laboratory can't understand his whole set of R&D actions, well, it's right if they can't understand it, and Liu Feng doesn't need them to be able to understand it completely! As long as these people can understand the topics he distributed......

Like Liu Feng, the people who were ready to take the 'SF plane' and Academician Ma Mingwei also took a special car to the airport after finishing their own affairs.

Right now, in the departure room.

Outside the airport, a J-10 fighter plane was preparing to take off and land, and Fei Xiujin was spitting to introduce the senior brothers and sisters, and the three of them let out bursts of exclamations from time to time.

In this regard, Liu Feng is extremely 'contempt' in his heart - isn't it just a few fighter jets, making it like a hillbilly entering the city, shameful!

However, I don't know who just entered the airport when he saw a J-10B fighter taking off and landing against the wind and screaming, and couldn't take his eyes off it......

With a sigh, Liu Feng's mind suddenly flew away.

He felt like one of those fighter jets in the airport, like a hard-working bee that never stopped his steps.

Ever since he gained the ability to control the microcosm, he has been sowing the seeds of science everywhere, never daring to stop: theories, materials, medicines, energy, information......

So far, there are not a few that have blossomed and borne fruit, but most of them are still in the embryonic state, and even he himself may not be able to say what the future holds.

The support and incomprehension of relatives and friends, his own beliefs and hesitation, are entangled together, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is interested!

"I heard that you have a quantum communication laboratory for Principal Lian?"

Academician Ma walked in from the corner of the waiting room and sat down beside him.

He seemed very surprised by Liu Feng's wide range of hobbies - physical theory, materials research and development, anti-cancer drugs, antimatter engineering, and now another quantum communication technology.

This guy, what else is he afraid to be interested in?

Or is there anything else he is not proficient in?

"That's right,"

Liu Feng came back to his senses and smiled,

"Quantum communication technology is very promising, and I happened to have some ideas in this area, so I set up a team to try it. ”

"Alas, it's good to be young!"

Academician Ma was quite envious and sighed,

"When I was your age, I was also very interested in everything, but our talent is only average, and in the end we can only work in the field of electrification. ”

smiled modestly, can he say that he has any talent, does he rely on it?

"It's just that most people don't understand this and are not optimistic!"

As soon as Liu Feng thought of the surprise and incomprehension shown by others when he mentioned that he wanted to engage in quantum teleportation, his mood was not very good, the key was that he really didn't have much certainty!

"Actually, how can I have faith even in myself?"

"This is not the kind of Professor Liu I saw. ”

Patting Liu Feng on the shoulder, Academician Ma shook his head and said,

"We who are engaged in scientific research, especially those of us academicians, are taking a road that no one else has ever walked! If even those of us do not explore the unknown and follow the path that others have walked, what can the country expect? When I was engaged in the integrated power system, I faced ridicule from abroad, and no one at home was optimistic about me, but in the end, I persevered, and finally succeeded! Even a stupid person like me can succeed, and Professor Liu, who is thousands of times more powerful than me, how can he not succeed?"

Smiling, Liu Feng was still very grateful for Academician Ma's encouragement, although he just sighed, he never doubted his scientific research goals, even if this path eventually led to failure.

It's just that Academician Ma has a good saying, even their most high-end scientists don't explore the unknown, but only follow behind those people abroad, who else can China count on in the future?

Having strengthened his confidence in quantum communication technology, he did not continue on this topic: "Academician Ma, the electromagnetic catapult has also been completed, and the electromagnetic cannon will soon be tested on the ship, next, do you have any specific arrangements here?"

"Not for the time being, what's wrong?" Academician Ma raised his eyebrows and wondered.

"I mean, over there for antimatter engineering, it's time for you to come over and return to the team!" Liu Feng said with a smile.

On the antimatter engine and power generation integrated system project, Academician Kim Donghan and Academician Qian Zhengying have not been going well recently.

On the one hand, because both of them have their own R&D directions, and the integrated project is in a secondary position, on the other hand, this kind of comprehensive project is not what the two are good at, and it is much simpler to study power technology and power generation technology separately than a comprehensive project.

Therefore, Liu Feng had long planned to let Academician Ma resist this banner, after all, this is a big man in this area.

"Haha, you guy!" Academician Ma was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You didn't say that I was about to talk to you too, the antimatter project, after the electromagnetic cannon is tested, I will come over and take over, do you have any arrangements?"

"Of course, it's better to do your old job......"

The two then discussed the antimatter engine and power generation integrated system project.

After a while, an Il-76 transport plane landed, and the staff beckoned several people to board the plane.

"The Il-76 transport aircraft (Russian: Ил-76, English: IL-76, NATO code: did, translation: Gengzhi, common name: Ilyushin-Il-76, is a four-engine large dual-use strategic transport aircraft of the former Maoxiong State......"

After groping and fumbling and getting on the plane like a thief, Fei Xiujin didn't dare to show off in front of Liu Feng, but only dared to show off his military fan knowledge in front of the two brothers and sisters.

"The IL-76 is one of the most successful heavy transport aircraft in the world, so far more than 38 countries have used or are using the IL-76, a total of more than 850 operators, exporting countries including Algeria, Persia, Syria, Argentina, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Poland, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Cuba and our country, and even the counterpart of the woolly bear country Y country has imported!"

"This is definitely the world's best heavy-duty transport aircraft! It is also the world's most equipped strategic transport aircraft! Even the Y-20, which our country is researching, has extensively borrowed the technology of this aircraft, and in terms of capacity, it has not surpassed the Il-76!"

Hearing Fei Xiujin's spitting introduction, Du Hong and Zhou Yue both looked unaware of it, and of course, it also made Fei Xiujin more and more proud.

Of course, Liu Feng also heard this guy's showmanship, and couldn't help but shake his head: "In terms of aircraft research and development, there is indeed a big gap between our country and Mao Xiong and Country M!"

Academician Ma nodded: "There is a gap, but we have developed quite well over the years, and we are gradually narrowing the gap, and those who are engaged in the aviation industry are no worse than those of us who are engaged in the navy." ”

At this time, a colonel in an air force uniform next to him took over with a smile: "Of course, our air force people are no worse than anyone else!"

"Who are you?" asked Liu Feng with a smile, turning his head.

He had already noticed the colonel who was carrying four stars, and without him, the people on the plane were either dressed in regular uniforms or navy uniforms, just dressed as an air force system.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let me introduce myself, my name is Shi Anton, and I am the one who the two of you call the aviation industry!" the Air Force University alumnus stretched out his hand kindly.

"It turns out that they are all fellow practitioners, hello, hello, my name is Liu Feng, and I am also engaged in technology. ”

"Hello, my name is Ma Mingwei, and I am in the navy!"

The two also enthusiastically extended their right hands.

"Hahaha, sure enough, it's Academician Ma and Professor Liu!"

Shi Anton smiled and shook hands with them,

"The names of the two are like thunder, I looked at the two of them a little familiar just now, and I was embarrassed to come up and disturb, did the two of them go to Dalian's side?"

"Where are you, you're also going to Dalian?" Liu Feng also responded with a smile.

"We are honored to be able to participate in the handover ceremony of our first aircraft carrier. I didn't expect to be able to meet Professor Liu and Academician Ma on the way, I will be lucky!"

Colonel Shi nodded, and after confirming that it was Liu Feng and the others, his eyes seemed to flash a light, as if a kitten had found a toy,

"Professor Liu, are you really that Professor Liu Feng Liu, the first Professor Liu in our country to win the Dynamite Award?"

Liu Feng smiled bitterly: "If there is no second person in the world, it is me." ”

"Oops, I'm sorry. The senior colonel Shi patted his head and looked embarrassed, "Professor Liu, I really admire you too much! You don't know how much you have contributed to our air force! When you meet an idol, you can't control it, and you're rude, and you're rude." ”

"Huh?" Academician Ma was puzzled when he heard this, "Professor Liu, when did you go to contribute to the Air Force again?"

Liu Feng shook his head innocently.

Shi Anton smiled: "Academician Ma, don't you know that although Professor Liu has never been to our Aviation Academy, the entire aviation system, and even the entire Air Force scientific research unit, are spreading the legend of Professor Liu. ”

"What do you say?" Ma Mingwei became even more curious.

Thinking of the recent explosion of achievements in the field of their aviation industry, Shi Anton is full of emotion.

For a long time, there are two main factors that limit the great progress of China's aviation industry, on the one hand, the problem of finishing, and on the other hand, the problem of materials!

Several computational theories proposed by Liu Feng in materials science have indirectly helped the entire aviation materials industry to take a big step forward.

Countless kinds of aviation special materials have been launched in advance because of these theories: J20 invisible coating, various high-performance alloys required by aircraft engines, various lightweight compression-resistant, high-temperature and wear-resistant materials, etc., in just a few months, the entire aviation industry materials have ushered in a big explosion!

"Professor Liu has single-handedly pushed forward our Huaguo aviation industry for at least 10 years!

Academician Ma glanced up at Liu Feng: "Of course!"

Although he didn't know what Liu Feng had done, there was no one who could convince a professional and technical colonel to such a point.

However, Liu Feng could only stare at the two of them with a confused expression.

Have we pushed China's aviation industry forward for at least 10 years?

How don't we know!
