Chapter 246: Building a Quantum Network

2030 Jiuquan, quantum communication base. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Li looked at the front with a nervous expression.

In front of him, computers were lined up side by side, a large amount of data flashing in the computer screen, and the computers were frantically processing information.

The information they process is called quantum information, and the purpose is to build a quantum network based on quantum information.

"Academician Xiao, the underlying architecture based on quantum information has been completed, but the quantum network is based on the information flow above the underlying architecture, so we also need the cooperation of quantum satellites." An engineer explained to Xiao Li.

In order to build a quantum network, the Earth Federation spent ten years and mobilized more than 100,000 engineers and scientists to build a quantum network, and the quantum satellite is the host server of the quantum network.

Xiao Li nodded casually, "Okay, I know, you just do it, I will supply all the resources to you, you can do it boldly, don't worry about waste." ”

Good......

More than a dozen engineers around were all excited, don't worry about waste, as soon as this sentence is opened, it is equivalent to getting a pass, you can play as you want, and some suppressed ideas can also be experimented one by one without worrying about wasting resources.

Don't worry about it, that's what he said.

Xiao Li looked at them and smiled, of course he was relieved to do it boldly, the quantum network is a common project of the entire Earth Federation, and the resources of the entire Earth Federation are invested in it, and there are so many resources that these people can't imagine, besides, he only has the right to mobilize these resources, and has no right to belong, just as the so-called cub sells Ye Tian is not distressed, anyway, it is not his own, and he can squander it as much as he wants.

He watched the engineer leave happily, and the corners of his mouth curled, "My task is to complete the quantum network, and as for whether it is wasted or not, that is a question that the federal top should consider." ”

"Clank......

At that moment, a communication request came, and he glanced at the displayer and glanced at the person to make sure that no one was there, before he said to the unoccupied Quartet, 'Take it, don't make any records', and then looked at the old face shown in the video and said, "Dr. Isaac, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

It was Dr. Isaac who asked him for communication.

Since leaving the world of Resident Evil, Dr. Isaac has joined the Earth Federation and become a researcher in the Earth Federation's space laboratory, codenamed 'T', and he doesn't know how he left after that, he didn't pay attention to him.

Dr. Isaac didn't answer, he looked at Xiao Li's face for a long time before he let out a long sigh, "It's so young. ”

It's really too young.

Ten years ago, he watched Xiao Li once, and ten years later, the years have left no trace on him.

"But that's what I'm supposed to be after." He rubbed his wrinkled face, becoming more and more dissatisfied with himself, "At least this stage of the pursuit." ”

Xiao Li looked at him rubbing his face and got goosebumps all over his body, if there was a beautiful woman opposite, he could still say that he was narcissistic, but on the opposite side was an old man with wrinkles on his skin, so he could only talk about goosebumps.

"Xiao." With a faint hint of age, Dr. Isaac slowly spoke, "We've known each other for more than 10 years!" ”

He let out a long sigh, as if recalling, "More than ten years, twelve or thirteen?" Or further, I don't remember, old man, always so good at forgetting. ”

"Dr. Isaac, you're saying you're a little too old now!" Xiao Li said dryly, he was a little unsure of what Isaac wanted to do.

Tell me how old you are? Is he like that boring person? And who to talk to, it's not good to find him? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for those to come to the Earth Federation with him?

Is it difficult to fight or beg for someone? Play the emotional card first and then ask for someone? But he doesn't seem to ask for it, the current Earth Federation attaches unprecedented importance to scientists, and scientists live very nourishingly one by one, and there is basically no such thing as a deduction, because artificial intelligence will regulate finances, and there are almost no loopholes to be caught.

"It's not okay not to be old, my memory is degraded badly now, but I really don't want to be old." He stared at Xiao Li with burning eyes.

Xiao Li suddenly had a kind of realization, as if at this moment, he saw through the fog and saw the truth of the matter.

Without waiting for him to speak, Dr. Isaac continued: "I am afraid of old age and death, I used to rely on the T virus, but I found that the T virus does not meet my requirements, and in the past ten years of studying the T virus, although I have obtained a lot of information, the more I feel hopeless the more I do this. ”

"Fortunately, I heard at this time that the top brass of the Earth Federation has a life-sustaining potion in their hands." Dr. Isaac's voice revealed a deep sense of helplessness, "But...... I'm not qualified to ....... ”

Xiao Li looked at him calmly, "I can't do anything without qualifications, this is a decision of the high-level, and I have no right to interfere." ”

There are life-sustaining drugs, but the production is really limited, the main reason is that there are not enough cells for telomerase extraction, although there is cloning technology, but the cloning of God's Domain and Hulk cells does not know why the success rate has been very low. It's more of a failure.

"But I know you have a way, Xiao." Dr. Isaac looked at Xiao Li with a hot gaze, "As the chief scientist of the Earth Federation, it won't be a problem for you to ask for a small potion at all!" ”

"Not that problem." Xiao Li shook his head, he wanted a potion, but what about later? There are one and there are two, Dr. Isaac comes to the potion today, Dr. Ashford tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it may be someone else, is it possible that he can still be satisfied one by one? There are so many potions, there will always be someone who can't get them, and then the resentment will fall on him.

People don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, and it is impossible for Xiao Li to do this kind of thing.

"What if I exchange myself for you?" Dr. Isaac had an extremely complicated look on his face, then let out a long sigh and bowed slightly to Xiao Li, "In exchange for the potion, I am willing to sacrifice my wisdom to you." ”

His lips trembled slightly, "After the injection, I will apply to leave the space laboratory of the Earth Federation and join the biological laboratory of Weilan Enterprise as the person in charge." ”

He lowered his head, a clear struggle on his face, "In addition, I am willing to sign a lifetime contract and sky-high liquidated damages to ensure that I will not regret it in the future." ”

Xiao Li didn't look at Dr. Isaac, but looked up at the sky, "Did Mr. Weilan ask you to come to me?" Mr. Welland also told you about the potion? ”

"Yes." Dr. Isaac did not hide it, "Mr. Weyland said that I could find you a life-prolonging potion, and in return, I need to serve Wellland. ”

"I promised." Xiao Li nodded, "In three days, I will have someone deliver the medicine to you, you can prepare the application for resignation!" ”

It wasn't until Dr. Isaac had shut down his communications with the area that he contacted Mr. Weaac, "Mr. Weaac, what do you want Dr. Isaac for?" ”

On the screen, Mr. Weilan quietly took a sip of a cup of coffee and put it down before slowly speaking, "Weilan Enterprise has now fallen into a bottleneck, the robot market is saturated, the aerospace market is saturated, there are also people in the arms field who are fighting with us, the Earth Federation in the field of spacecraft manufacturing has always been in control, we can only drink some soup, and there are strong challengers in other energy markets and precision instrument processing...... The current Weilan enterprises have fallen into a bottleneck period, and with the substantial development of the Earth Federation, the Weilan enterprises that have fallen into the bottleneck period have gradually failed to keep up with the times, and if this continues, Weilan enterprises will be eliminated sooner or later. ”

In the early days, the Weilan enterprises relied on technology monopoly to make profits, but now that the Earth Federation has surpassed the earth humans in "Prometheus" in terms of technology, it has become impossible to rely on the accumulation monopoly technology in "Prometheus".

"Although you have helped us to grasp some patent rights, if we don't move forward, we will decline, and it is impossible for others to stop and wait for us, so I plan to get involved in the biological field, and Dr. Isaac is an expert in the biological field, and I plan to dig him up."

"I don't understand the business aspect, you can handle it yourself."

As he spoke, another communication request came, and he took a look at it and decided to cut off contact with Wayland, "I'm just asking if you told Dr. Isaac about the potion, and I'll get in touch later!" ”

He pressed the close button and disconnected from Mr. Weland, and then he contacted Chief Engineer Jack, "Mr. Jack, do you have anything to do with me?" “

"That's Academician Xiao." Jack's gray hair and red eyes proved that he hadn't slept well in days, "One of the backbone lines in the quantum network has been completed, are we starting the first test of the quantum network?" ”

If the infrastructure of a quantum network is compared to the land, then the backbone of the quantum network is the highway that stands on this land.

"Is it already done?" Xiao Li's heart rippled, since more than ten years ago, the Earth Federation captured the artificial intelligence from the cleaners, they have been studying artificial intelligence, and the perfect grasp of the quantum entanglement state theory is the biggest discovery of 'it' research, based on the quantum entanglement state, the Earth Federation tried to build a quantum network for the first time, for this attempt, the amount of resources allocated by the Earth Federation can no longer be described in dollars, if you insist on using dollars to describe it, it is an infinite dollar.

Not to mention anything else, how many trillions of dollars have been invested in the manufacture of quantum satellites alone? Factories, production lines, and a series of quantum satellite-related facilities, such as spacecraft that can transport quantum satellites out of the solar system, are all expensive and expensive.

"Now that it's done, let's start the first test!"

Xiao Li pressed the button, and a cold picture of the universe appeared on the screen, in which the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 operated alone in the shock boundary between the solar system and the Oort cloud.

The shock boundary is the outermost symbol of the solar system, which is caused by the interaction between the solar wind and the gas between the stars, and is a region with a relatively large number of low-energy particles.

Of course, the picture at this time is not where the current quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 is really located, and due to the delay in information transmission, the information it transmits back is often the product of a year ago.

Looking at it, Xiao Li's increasingly excited mood suddenly calmed down, and he felt that he was in a very subtle attitude, like the last tranquility before the eruption of the volcano.

"Hello Quantum 1, this is Jiuquan on Earth, time 23:34:29 on September 20, 2030."

Xiao Li's voice is converted into information and stored in the computer, and then converted into quantum information through the computer and transmitted to the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 through quantum entanglement.

If it receives a message, it will send back a message according to the set mechanism.

According to calculations, at this time, the distance between Jiuquan and the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 is about 1 light-year, if it is a conventional means of communication, it will take about 1 year for this information to be transmitted to the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1, and then it will take 1 year for the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 to be transmitted back to Jiuquan, that is, it will take about two years for this information to be transmitted back and forth.

But.......

"Hello Jiuquan Earth, this is Quantum-1, time 23:34:34 on September 20, 2030."

In less than 2 years, just 5 seconds, the quantum communication satellite Quantum-1 sent back information, and it only took 5 seconds to go back and forth.

"And this 5 seconds of time should not be a delay in information, but a delay in the processing speed of the chip." Xiao Li glanced at the time displayed on the screen, and said secretly in his heart: "I thought that the performance of the Earth Computer was high enough, but in terms of processing quantum information, the processing speed of the Earth Federation Computer was still a little insufficient. ”

The quantum network adopts a very complex construction method, and its stratum data is generated by a large amount of vibration and non-vibration, and these data need to be converted into corresponding information display by the computer, and the processing time of up to 5 seconds is short, but for Xiao Li, it is still not perfect.

"But the 5-second processing time is acceptable." Xiao Li turned on the communication system and said to Jack: "The backbone line in the quantum network has been tested, and there is no problem. ”

"That's right, Jack." Xiao Li suddenly thought: "Is our quantum information encrypted in the process of transmission?" ”

Jack was stunned, "How to encrypt quantum information." ”

"Can't quantum information be encrypted?" Xiao Li glanced at the computer, and a thought kept popping up in his mind, assuming that quantum information could not be encrypted, then could they receive quantum information through quantum satellites? Just like in the era of the earth's radio waves, many countries listened to radio waves to obtain the plans of hostile countries.

At Pearl Harbor, didn't the U.S. military also intercept Japan's intelligence?

Thinking about it like this, Xiao Li's thoughts could no longer be contained, and he couldn't wait to try it, "Quantum satellite, the reception mode is fully open, and it will do its best to listen to the quantum information transmitted in the universe." ”
