"What the hell do they want?! Why do they want everything! ”

In the corner tower office, Bob, who had always been calm, was a little hysterical.

You want to engage in nuclear fusion, you want to engage in room temperature superconductivity, and now we have finally launched a quantum computing project that may play a role in the "asymmetric" battlefield, and you still want to grab it?

It's true that you don't give others a little way to live, do you?

The world belongs to yours, but it's not just yours, right?

If China alone can complete all future technological exploration, then what is the meaning of our existence?

Is it to be your colony, to be your slave and your pet?

Bob clenched his fists tightly - in fact, what he couldn't accept was not the fact that "Huaxia started the quantum computing project" itself, after all, quantum computing is also a fairly hot field of science and technology, even if it is a professional soldier like him, he has more or less heard of it.

Huaxia's choice to exert force in this regard is actually not bizarre, and it cannot be said that there is much "malice".

What he really couldn't accept was the kind of posture shown by the other party.

That kind of unbeatable, self-sacrificing posture.

It's as if once a project is announced, all countries can't wait to put it up, groveling to offer their skills and talent reserves to help them complete the project without reservation.

They even went so far as to declare in a publicly released document that "this is a technology that has the same potential to change the world as room temperature superconductivity, and I hope that friends and outstanding scholars from all over the world will cherish the opportunity."

Cherish the opportunity?

What opportunities do you cherish?

If you don't give, we won't have it?

The progress of the AQCL project is also fast! Maybe even faster than you guys!

Thinking of this, Bob exhaled heavily, and then he opened his mouth to ask the assistant who was waiting on the side:

"What happened to the DHS investigation? Are you sure there are no leaks? ”

The assistant hurriedly stepped forward, nodded solemnly and replied:

"Through the collection and verification of evidence from various aspects, as well as the review of relevant key personnel, DHS has basically ruled out the leak."

"In other words, this Huaxia operation is most likely an accident, and they don't know that we are also engaged in a quantum computing project."

"It's not hard to understand at all – if they know that our project is underway, it's easy to guess the purpose of the project."

"In this way, they can't put the quantum computing project on the table with such fanfare, and they should prioritize questioning our project."

"After all, quantum computing projects that point to artificial intelligence and quantum computing projects that point to RSA decoding are fundamentally different."

Hearing this, Bob breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that there are no leaks – that means your core strength is still there.

As long as the advantage is still there, it is still possible to turn the situation back in Huaxia.

So, he spoke:

"It's best if there are no leaks – while still dangerous, at least for us, it's not at the end of the road."

"Call the person in charge of the door in."

"I'm going to confirm with them personally that the project is progressing-—— time frame is getting tighter, and I want to further accelerate the project if possible."

As soon as he said this, the assistant's face instantly showed a look of embarrassment.

Of course, he knows more about the pressures of the AQCL project than Bob, after all, he is the middleman who has really come into contact with the project and the scientific scholars.

Want to speed up your project?

If you continue to push like this, something big will happen

But this obviously can't come out of his own mouth, and the best way is to say hello to Davis in advance and let him be this "bad guy".

Hopefully he'll get it right.

The assistant walked out of the office and pushed the door open, and Davis, who was already waiting outside, immediately stood up from the bench.

The assistant closed the door gently, shook his head and gave Davis a look, and said with his mouth:

"Slow down."

And Davis instantly understood what he meant, and also gestured to him with his eyes.

The two then re-entered the office, and before Bob could speak, Davis preemptively said:

"The AQCL project cycle could not be compressed any longer."

"Everyone is on the verge of collapse, and with this wave of DHS censorship, no one can continue to hold on."

"Sir, you must know that not all of the researchers in this project team are from official institutions, but also a considerable number of them are from commercial organizations!"

"Even if I -—— before I joined AQCL, I was actually employed by IBM."

"You know, we used to work in a completely different way than AQCL, where 10 hours a day was the limit, and 12 hours was unthinkable."

"But now, we work 16 hours a day."

"Do you know what 16 hours means?"

Davis's tone was heavy.

He looked Bob in the eye and talked about what he had seen in the lab.

Researchers sleeping on their desks, young men with cramps from overwork, empty coffee machines, Red Devil drink bottles all over the place.

He even mentioned that some researchers hadn't left the lab for weeks, and that family members had even called the police if they thought he was missing.

Isn't that reality amazing enough?

Davis didn't believe that what he was saying didn't get Bob's attention.

——

However, his plan fell through completely.

Bob's face did have a somewhat moving look, but after a few seconds of silence, he spoke:

"Davis, I actually know all these things you said."

"But you should also know what kind of situation we're facing."

"Huaxia has already started the quantum computing project, and in our experience, their progress will be very fast – very fast!"

"It is even possible to achieve a breakthrough in a few months and achieve a 'breakthrough' of RSA encryption."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, you want to say that their quantum computing research and development direction is directed towards artificial intelligence."

"But the problem is, that's a higher-order solution, isn't it?"

"If it were possible, wouldn't they pick the fruit by the roadside? Once that happens, what are we going to be up against? ”

At this point, Bob paused.

Then, with a sigh, he continued:

"Davis, this is war, and we're all already on the battlefield."

"And on the battlefield, there is no rest to speak of."

Hearing his words, Davis stood in place in a daze.

Battlefield?

Yes, this is indeed a battlefield.

——

But the problem is, you never gave us the right to choose.

Even a soldier has the right to decide whether or not to "enlist" in the army

Davis burst out laughing.

At this moment, he finally understood that for Bob, for the military, and for this country, in fact, he and the scientific researchers he represented were just consumable "materials".

"I see."

Davis spoke.

"I'll figure it out."

"However, if we want to further accelerate the progress of AQCL, we need more information input."

"Perhaps, we should go to China and see if they can inspire us -—— others."

The quantum computing project has caused far more waves than Chen Nian imagined.

He didn't realize at first that other scholars in the same field would understand quantum computing as a precursor to RSA decoding, nor did he expect that with the release of the project, so many countries would be desperate to join the project.

The enthusiasm of various countries for this project is even greater than that of EAST.

After all, not every country can play EAST, and falling behind for a while will not cause too serious consequences.

Can quantum computing? RSA decoding?

It's no exaggeration to say that the entire world of data is built on RSA and other similar encryption methods, and if this thing is broken by one party and the other party has not yet mastered the new encryption method, the situation may be even worse than the so-called nuclear blackmail.

Are you afraid of directly invading the military network and dispatching all the troops instead of you?

Are you afraid of hijacking the banking system and changing the balance of all your domestic accounts to zero?

Are you afraid of manipulating exchange data, completely disrupting the financial environment, and bankrupting the official reputation?

Yes, it does not cause direct "human kills" like modern thermal weapons, but the riots and social regression it can cause are even more difficult to digest than thermal weapons.

No one dares to take this risk, so the only thing they can do is to try to get an "anti-theft lock", or "security statement", as attached to Huaxia as possible.

That is, the quantum encryption algorithm that has been hyped up in the current environment.

In the office, Chen Nian looked at the long list of countries in front of him, and said a little helplessly:

"Everybody has to come and have a good time. Let's not talk about Somalia and Haiti, the poor are poor, at least they have a financial system, I just want to ask, what is the excitement of NKOR? ”

"Do they have access to quantum cryptography? With their almost physically isolated environment, are they still worried about people stealing their money? ”

Seeing his expression, Chen Guo also laughed.

"You can't do without, but you can't do without."

"On the other hand, this is also their trust in us-—— they have never considered the closure of the port, but they feel that Lao Mei may still do something to them."

"This is a manifestation of the lack of wisdom of ZZ."

Chen Nian said quietly.

Chen Guo was not surprised by his words, but nodded slightly and replied:

"In theory, that's true."

"In the current international environment, NK's strategic position is declining more and more, and it is unlikely that the United States and South Korea will make a fuss about this small peninsula in the foreseeable future."

"If the situation continues to stabilize, our relationship with them will also change-—— but obviously no one within them is aware of this."

"It's been closed for too long."

Chen Nian replied.

"Yes, like Russia, the situation is actually similar."

"However, they are much more rational than NK."

"It's clearly sending a signal to us to eliminate the threat and strengthen cooperation."

"Of all the countries in the world, there are only a few brainless countries that are trying to expand their armies."

"The signal released by Maozi is obviously also fake."

Chen Nian interrupted Chen Guo's words, and the latter smiled noncommittally and replied:

"But at least, the attitude they showed was real."

"We are not actually worried about what bad water they are holding behind their backs, because for us, the core technology of the future has been locked, no matter how exaggerated they are, it is impossible to surpass us because of a technological explosion."

"So, as long as we are willing to maintain peace on the table, then we can continue to work together."

That's true.

Chen Nian was completely able to understand the logic in Chen Guo's words.

The impact of these two technologies is so great that the moment it was born, it has almost locked in the pattern of the world for decades to come.

In this case, of course, it is impossible for any country to willingly "accept fate", but as long as those small actions are not exposed, in fact, China can turn a blind eye.

There are still secrets in the family, let alone the global village?

Let them tinker, anyway, no matter how explosive the technology is, it will not be able to explode itself.

This thought flashed through his heart, and Chen Nian suddenly laughed.

He shook his head slyly and said to Chen Guo:

"It's really hard to say about the explosion of science and technology, we just made a room-temperature superconductor, what if one day, Maozi takes out a magnetic monopole?"

"Just overturn the edifice of physics, right?"

Chen Guo asked with a smile.

"Maybe it's not necessarily rebuilding the physics edifice."

"Come on, theoretical physics, in fact, it is not so easy to produce a breakthrough-—— of course, after nuclear fusion is rolled out, maybe because of the abundance of energy, a large number of colliders will be built, and then there will be a wave of small climaxes."

"But if we really want to make progress in the theory of great unification, I am afraid it will not be a matter of a hundred years."

Speaking of this, Chen Guo suddenly paused.

"Hey, why don't you try?"

"I can't try a little."

Chen Nian shook his head without hesitation, and then continued:

"I'd better solve the problem of quantum encryption algorithms first - I really didn't expect that the priority of this thing would be ranked ahead of the quantum computer itself."

"It's normal, if you want to raise tigers, you have to build cages first, which is the most basic wisdom of human survival."

"How long will it take you to figure it out? I went to synchronize the plan with the project team. ”

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

He stretched out three fingers and held them up in front of Chen Guo.

“3？ Three days? ”

Chen Guo asked.

If it were someone else, he would definitely guess three months, or even three years.

But Chen Nian. Anyone who understands understands.

However, he didn't expect that in the next second, Chen Nian's fingers would become two.

“2。”

“1。”

"Really?"

"Of course it's fake! Just kidding. ”

Chen Nian replied.

"Within two weeks, I'll do it as soon as possible - you have to prepare at least a team in this field for me, I want to export technology, but someone has to undertake it."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Chen Guo replied immediately.

After briefly communicating the plan, he turned and left Chen Nian's office.

At the last second of closing the door, he looked through the crack in the door at Chen Nian, who was lying on the table and didn't know what to write.

3 seconds?

The ghost knows what happened just now, but Chen Nian, I'm afraid he has really solved the problem
