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

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

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

Are you really not giving others a way out?

The world belongs to you, can it be more than yours?

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

Is it just to serve as your colony, as your slaves and pets?

Bob clenched his fists tightly—in fact, what he could not accept was not the fact that "China launched the quantum computing project" itself. After all, quantum computing is a very popular technology field, even for a professional like him. Soldiers, more or less heard some.

It is not surprising that Huaxia chooses to make efforts in this regard, nor can it be said that there is much "maliciousness".

What he really couldn't accept was the attitude shown by the other party.

That kind of invincible, who else's attitude.

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

They even declared in the publicly released documents that "this is a technology that is as likely to change the world as normal-temperature superconductivity. I hope that friends and outstanding scholars from all over the world can cherish the opportunity."

Cherish the opportunity?

What opportunity do you cherish?

Could it be that if you don’t give it, we won’t have it?

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

Thinking of this, Bob let out a heavy breath, and then he asked the assistant waiting by the side:

"What about the results of the DHS investigation? Are you sure there was no leak?"

The assistant hurriedly took a step forward, nodded solemnly and replied:

"Through multi-faceted evidence collection and verification, as well as review of relevant core personnel, DHS has basically ruled out leaks."

"That is to say, there is a high probability that Huaxia's action this time was an accidental event. They didn't know that we were also working on a quantum computing project."

"Actually, this is not difficult to understand-if they know that our project is going on, they can easily guess the purpose of the project."

"In this way, it is impossible for them to put the quantum computing project on the table with such a big fanfare. Instead, they should give priority to questioning our project."

"After all, the quantum computing project pointing to artificial intelligence and the quantum computing project pointing to RSA decoding are fundamentally different."

Hearing this, Bob was slightly relieved.

As long as there is no leak - that means that the core advantage of one's own side is still there.

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

So he opened his mouth and said:

"No leaks would be the best - it's still dangerous, but at least for us, it's not the end of the road."

"Call the person in charge at the door to come in."

"I have to confirm the progress of the project with them personally --- the time is getting tighter, and if possible, I want to further accelerate the progress of the project."

As soon as these words came out, the assistant's face instantly revealed a look of embarrassment.

Compared with Bob, he is of course more aware of the pressure faced by the AQCL project. After all, he is the middleman who has really come into contact with the project and those scientific research scholars.

Want to speed up your project?

If you keep pushing like this, something big will happen.

But these words obviously cannot come out of his own mouth. The best way is to say hello to Davis in advance and let him be the "bad guy".

Hope he can handle it well.

The assistant walked out of the office and opened the door. Davis, who had been 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."

Davis also 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 said first:

"The AQCL project cycle cannot be compressed anymore."

"Everyone is on the verge of breaking down, and with this wave of scrutiny from DHS, no one can go on."

"Sir, you must know that not all of the project team are from official scientific researchers, and a considerable part of them are from commercial organizations!"

"Even I -- I was actually employed by IBM before I came to AQCL."

"You know, the way we used to work was completely different from AQCL. Working 10 hours a day was already the limit, and 12 hours was unthinkable."

"But now, we're working 16 hours a day."

"Do you know what 16 hours means?"

Davis' tone was heavy.

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

The researcher who fell asleep on the table, the young man who was convulsed by overwork, the sold out coffee machine, and the red magic drink bottles all over the place.

He even mentioned that some researchers had not left the laboratory for several weeks, and the family even thought he was missing and called the police directly.

Isn't this reality amazing enough?

Davis didn't believe that what he said could not attract Bob's attention.

——

However, his plan fell through completely.

There was indeed a somewhat moved expression on Bob's face, but after a few seconds of silence, he spoke:

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

"However, you should also know what kind of situation we are facing."

"Huaxia has already started the quantum computing project. According to our experience, their progress will definitely be very fast—very fast!"

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

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

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

"Wouldn't they be picking the roadside fruit, if it were possible? Once that happens, what's in store for us?"

Having said that, Bob paused for a moment.

Then he sighed and continued:

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

"On the battlefield, there is no rest at all."

Hearing his words, Davis stood there 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 to "enlist"

Davis suddenly laughed.

At this moment, he finally understood that for Bob, for the military, and for this country, he and the scientific researchers he represented were nothing but 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."

"Maybe, we should go to Huaxia to see if they can inspire us."

The waves caused by the quantum computing project far exceeded Chen Nian's imagination.

He didn't realize at the beginning that other scholars in the same field would understand quantum computing as the pre-technology of RSA decoding, nor did he expect that with the publicity of the project, so many countries would desperately want to join the project.

The enthusiasm of various countries for this project even exceeds that of the original EAST.

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

Quantum Computing? RSA decoding?

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

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 won't cause immediate "personnel casualties" 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 try to cling to Huaxia and try to get an "anti-theft lock", or a "safety statement".

That is to say, the quantum encryption algorithm that is hotly hyped 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:

"Everyone wants to join in the fun. Not to mention Somalia and Haiti, poor to poor, at least they still have a financial system. I just want to ask, why is NKOR coming to join in the fun?"

"Can they use quantum encryption technology? Given their almost physically isolated environment, are they still worried about people stealing their money?"

Seeing his expression, Chen Guo also laughed.

"You can use it, but you can't have it."

"On the other hand, this can be regarded as their trust in us-they have never considered the closure of the port, but think that Lao Mei may still do something to them."

"This is a manifestation of zz's lack of wisdom."

Chen Nian said calmly.

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

"Theoretically, that's true."

"Under the current international environment, NK's strategic position is declining. In the foreseeable future, the United States and South Korea are unlikely to make a fuss about this small peninsula."

"If the situation continues to stabilize, our relationship with them will change -- but obviously, no one within them realizes that yet."

"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 obviously sending a signal to us, intending to eliminate threats and strengthen cooperation."

"Looking at all the countries in the world, there are only a few brainless countries trying to expand their military."

"The signal released by Mao Zi is obviously false."

Chen Nian interrupted Chen Guo, who smiled noncommittally and replied:

"But at least, the attitude they're showing is real."

"We're actually not worried about what they're holding back, because for us, the core technology of the future has already been locked. No matter how exaggerated they are, it's impossible for them 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 cooperate."

Indeed it is.

Chen Nian could fully understand the logic in Chen Guo's words.

The influence of the two technologies is too great. At the moment of its birth, it has almost locked the pattern of the world for the next few decades.

Under such circumstances, of course, it is impossible for any country to "accept fate" willingly, but as long as those small actions are not exposed, China can actually turn a blind eye to it.

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

Let them tinker with it, anyway, no matter how the technology explodes, it is impossible to explode beyond yourself.

This thought flashed in his mind, and Chen Nian suddenly laughed.

He shook his head slyly, and said to Chen Guo:

"It's really hard to say about the technological explosion. We just invented a room-temperature superconductor. What if one day, Maozi pulls out a magnetic monopole?"

".To directly overthrow the physics building, right?"

Chen Guo asked back, dumbfounded.

"Maybe rebuilding the physics edifice or not."

"Come on, things about theoretical physics are actually not so easy to make breakthroughs—of course, after nuclear fusion is rolled out, maybe a large number of colliders will be built because of the abundance of energy, and there will be a small climax at that time."

"But if we really want to make progress in the theory of grand unification, I'm afraid it will not be within a hundred years."

Having said that, Chen Guo suddenly paused.

"Hey, why don't you try?"

"I can't try a little bit."

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

"I'd better solve the problem of the quantum encryption algorithm 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 a tiger, you have to build a cage first. This is the most basic wisdom for human survival."

"How long will it take you to solve it? I will synchronize the plan with the project team."

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, but did not answer right away.

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

"3? Three days?"

Chen Guo asked.

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

But Chen Nian. He understands everything.

However, he did not expect that in the next second, Chen Nian's fingers became two.

"2."

"1."

".real or fake?"

"Of course it's fake! Just kidding."

Chen Nian replied.

"Within two weeks, I will as soon as possible—you must at least prepare me a team in this field. I want to export technology, but I need someone to take over."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Chen Guo answered 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 of the door at Chen Nian who was lying on the table and didn't know what was written.

3 seconds?

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