Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou sat in his room. Opposite him sat Xiao Ping and Chen Hao. The latter rushed to the base after receiving the experimental results. In the follow-up work, he will be responsible for the military and The General Technical Office coordinates to coordinate intelligence collection and deciphering work.

"So, based on the current situation, the performance of our six-node computer this time is actually still slightly lower than expected?"

Chen Hao asked.

"It seems like this at present. The main reasons are micro-electromagnetic disturbance, insufficient number of effective qubits, and non-local effects. We cannot solve these problems in a short time. But fortunately, the anti-noise performance of topological quantum computers It’s very strong, even if the external conditions are deviated, it can still reach basically usable standards.”

"However, it took nearly 140 seconds to complete the 1024-digit prime factor calculation, which means that in the subsequent intelligence analysis work, we must make priority choices. It is impossible to monitor all areas simultaneously - unless Let’s get a few more ‘six-nosed mirrors’.”

Hearing Ye Zhou's answer, Chen Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Ping aside and asked:

"Mr. Xiao, are there any difficulties in the subsequent large-scale trial production? Do you need me to coordinate new resources?"

Xiao Ping shook his head and replied:

"There is no need for resources. The current resources are enough. What we need now is mainly time."

"Time? What do you mean?"

Seeing Chen Hao's expression, Xiao Ping pondered for a moment and continued to explain:

"I'm not talking about the time of external threats - I believe that after the birth of Liubijing 003, this threat will soon disappear."

"What I'm actually referring to is the time when our internal researchers reach the limit of their endurance."

"To put it bluntly, this is a very real problem. In the past few months, everyone has been overloaded with work, and everyone has been mentally and physically exhausted. Before the Six Nose Mirror 003 came out, we could still rely on I have a lot of energy to support it, but now that the main goal has been achieved, it is no longer possible for everyone to work so hard."

"Everyone is human, and no one can resist this inertia. This is also the biggest problem in our project management."

"Especially since we are always in this closed environment, everyone's psychological fluctuations will become bigger and bigger. So my suggestion is that under appropriate conditions, we can slow down the subsequent research and development process slightly and focus on Practical design.”

"After we get the practical results out as soon as possible, we can solve our immediate needs and then make other considerations."

Hearing his words, Chen Hao nodded solemnly.

This project team has indeed been closed for too long. Although they advocate dedication and sacrifice, this way of working to catch all the benefits is not long-lasting. The members of the project team also need to relax appropriately - however, this kind of relaxation Only after crisis contact.

Therefore, how to resolve the crisis with the highest efficiency has become the key to the problem they are facing now.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao looked at Xiao Ping apologetically and said:

"Mr. Xiao, to solve your problem, I'm afraid some confidential strategies will be involved. I will discuss this with Ye Zhou alone, please."

"I understand, I understand, you can discuss it, then I will go back and rest first."

"After staying up for such a long time, I can't bear it anymore. I'll go back and sleep for 8 hours today!"

Ye Zhou and Chen Hao stood up, shook hands with Xiao Ping, and sent him to the door. Then they sat on the sofa again, but Ye Zhou acted much more relaxed at this time.

In front of Xiao Ping, he still maintained a stable image, but in front of Chen Hao, he wanted to collapse on the sofa.

Chen Hao shook his head in amusement, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, opened it and took a sip before asking:

"Do you have a basic understanding of the situation outside?"

Ye Zhou nodded and replied:

"Clear. The six major fleets have all been supplied and are preparing to head to the Indian Ocean. Coupled with a series of moves of their global military bases, you can easily tell what they are going to do without even thinking about it."

"But I'm curious about how they are going to carry out air strikes in Punjab this time? Or will they follow the previous pattern of using deterrence in exchange for negotiation?"

"Their deterrence is no longer effective. This time they will definitely take action directly - I feel sorry for the third brother. The grain-producing area on the Deccan Plateau that was finally saved has been beaten to pieces."

"Didn't they ask for it? If they hadn't taken action, how could so many bad things have happened? Seriously, what's the follow-up plan?"

At this time, Ye Zhou had already sat up from the sofa. He looked at Chen Hao in front of him with a serious expression, quietly waiting for his answer.

"First of all, we must first collect and decipher intelligence. I still have to rely on you for this. I have to confirm with you first. How long do you think it will take us to go from prime factorization to RSA decryption? Please make a conservative estimate. , which has a great impact on our subsequent plans.”

"Six hours."

Ye Zhou didn't mean to be mysterious and answered directly.

"Six hours?? I'll let you be conservative."

Chen Hao had a look of surprise on his face.

"This is conservative enough. There are more than 200 experts in the field of computer science in this base, and a large number of them have participated in the military's decryption projects. More than 40 people have a background in cryptography."

"In addition, there are more than 60 professional cryptography experts, all of whom have dealt with opponents countless times."

“They have more experience than anyone else, and I have also provided them with a large number of RSA encryption model cases. Based on these cases, it is not fast to design a fully functional decryption module in 6 hours. ”

After hearing Ye Zhou's explanation, Chen Hao nodded and replied:

"If that's the case, we can skip Plan One and adopt Plan Two."

"What's Plan 1?"

"Symmetrical activity plan. It is very simple. It is to intercept the deployment strategy of the opponent's main combat units in advance, and then use some military maneuvers to restrain them in advance."

"The advantage of this plan is that it is relatively easy to analyze and obtain intelligence, but the disadvantage is that its deterrent effect is relatively weak."

"After all, in the eyes of our opponents, we still obtain intelligence through traditional methods, and the response actions may also be coincidental. Before they perceive the ultimate threat, they cannot truly retreat - but may speed up their actions."

"This is something we don't want to see. To be honest, we don't want to see this war actually start at all."

Ye Zhou stood up and took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator. He took a sip before answering:

"I agree with this point of view. To be honest, just a leak of intelligence is not enough to disrupt their arrangements. If I think about it from their perspective, if I were an opponent, I would not cancel the operation because of one or two leaks."

“Only when there’s really a significant loss due to a leak like this would I stop and think about what’s going on.”

"However, the result of thinking is probably not to end the war, but to break it."

Chen Hao nodded in agreement and continued:

"So, we have plan number two: information tampering."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what Chen Hao meant.

"What aspect of information tampering? Military dispatch?"

"More than that. To be precise, we want to tamper with all information related to this incident, including financial data, trade data, rear integrated dispatch data, and most importantly, military dispatch instructions."

"But, doesn't such a large-scale operation directly expose our technology?"

"Sooner or later, it will be exposed. RSA decryption is a project that all capable countries are working on. Ugly country's progress is only two or three years behind us at most. No matter how we try to cover it up, as long as they find that their intelligence has been leaked on a large scale, , you will immediately think of RSA decryption technology."

"Instead of being timid and trying to hide it, it's better to just show them the sharp weapon."

"Sometimes, a sword in a sheath just doesn't work as well as a sword drawn out."

Ye Zhou frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"Do you think they'll do this?"

"They will eat it. No country currently has complete quantum encryption technology. Unless they regress their combat methods to the World War II era, abandon data links and joint command systems, and rely on telephones and paper to transmit all information, otherwise the information will be lost." A leak would be their biggest obstacle."

"Based on this situation, giving in is their only option."

"Although our opponents are crazy, so far, they are not stupid. They can definitely understand the stakes."

After hearing Chen Hao's explanation, Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Then follow your plan and fight quickly!"
