Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Storms always come suddenly.

Under a joint operation between the Ministry of Public Security and the General Staff, several spy organizations lurking in China were uprooted, intercepting 67 pieces of intelligence documents that had not yet been sent and tracing more than 200 leaked information.

According to the list of confessions made by the persons involved and the leads intercepted by the declassification of spying documents, almost all the criminals, from the top to the grass-roots level, have been apprehended, and the officials involved should be silenced.

Unlike other charges, treason is always the most sensitive high-pressure line, and there is no room for compromise in front of this red line.

Meanwhile, far from the CIA headquarters on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he was passively involved in this thunderous operation that swept the whole of China, causing a chicken dog to jump.

The arrest of intelligence agents in other countries, both in time and quickly, was unexpected by CIA intelligence experts and senior decision makers.

They did not fail to consider the possibility of leakage, nor did they fail to plan for a crisis response, but everything seemed to have failed at this moment.

This mesh doesn't even know when it started, it was put around their necks, and even when it started to tighten, they didn't feel anything unusual.

They are not even sure now whether the information they have received over this period has been sent offline or whether the General Staff of China has deliberately shown it to them.

In any case, this tragic defeat was doomed from the beginning.

And this loss is almost more than the sum of the losses the CIA has suffered overseas over the past decade, even comparable to the Waterloo that they encountered in the Bay of Pigs.

And that's not the deadliest.

Most fatally, even knowing now that they have no idea where this big basket came from, it took them more than a decade to deploy the entire intelligence network in China.

Anyway, something has happened and someone has to be held accountable for it.

On the night of the incident, the president was said to have been furious inside the White House Palace, pounding on the CIA director like a thunderbolt, and throwing the investigation and evidence gathering directly at their old rival, the FBI.

With the FBI in their hands, their lives aren't so good.

In addition to the urgent withdrawal of intelligence personnel deployed in the Asia-Pacific region who had not yet been captured, a major cleansing was carried out inside the CIA.

First the CIA Director resigned, then more than twenty high-ranking officials were suspended, with the FBI in charge of custody and investigation.

Yet no one would have thought that it was not for any traitor at all.

Exposing the information and whereabouts of their intelligence agents is not a mole at all, it's just a big little box.

There is no secret in front of it.

Not to mention just a few spies in the district...

……

At a time when North America's intelligence system in the Asia-Pacific region was nearly paralysed, the real “behind the scenes" that led to this chain of reactions - Academician Lu - was still unaware.

He didn't even know about his invention. He actually did such a terrible thing.

It was Changan Street who wrote the letter to take the little box, obviously to study it and help him solve the confidential patent thing. However, the Ark probably wouldn't have thought that the front foot of the little toy he made had just been sent to Changan Street, and the back foot was lent to the NSA for anti-espionage work...

But for one of his scholars, there is no need to know so much.

Instead of knowing more, there was a burden of not telling him that it was not for the purpose of protection.

For at least 50 years, the stories behind this operation will be sealed in the archives as top-secret documents, and no one can know the truth behind this thunderous operation except those who gave the orders and gave them concrete instructions.

After all, with the narrow heart of the CIA and the urine of revenge, if you know who did this, you just have to get the mind of the family that drove the plane.

But then again, even without these things, some people don't necessarily want the ark alive...

In the area of security, quantum computers have demonstrated their horrific power.

Although it is not yet known that this disturbance, which threatens to alter the strategic balance of the entire Asia-Pacific region, has been the cause of a central breeze for some time now, leading research units are actively or passively studying encryption algorithms for restraining quantum computer technology.

Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As one of the top research institutions in the field of information security in China, a group of bulls who can easily guess their strong identity by looking at their power is sitting at the conference table and discussing it.

Some time ago, they received orders from Changan Street.

According to reliable sources, the Pentagon is studying the use of quantum computer technology for intelligence gathering, and Shanghai hopes that they will be able to develop an encryption algorithm to respond to cyber attacks by quantum computers over 1,000 quantum bits.

In fact, it sounds strange, because the highest quantum computer technology has only done 100 quantum bits now, and considering more than 1,000 quantum bits is a little too worrisome.

But in any case, the task does not seem to be a joke in terms of the central focus and the funds allocated. Almost half of the cattle in cryptography are gathered in this meeting room of less than 50 square meters, and everyone signs a confidentiality agreement before coming in...

“Today is the fifth meeting,” looked around at the people at the table, and Reverend Xue Jinhui went on with seriousness, "I hope you can brainstorm and make some constructive comments. ”

The academician, Xue Jinhui, not only held the position of deputy director of the Institute of Information Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also participated in the development of the QKD protocol.

And this QKD protocol, in the true sense, is the first quantum encryption algorithm independently developed by China's research team. And that's why he was chosen as the academic leader of the entire project.

Discussions were heard in the conference room.

The cattle in the cryptography community here face each other and exchange their eyes for the headache and helplessness in their hearts.

As Reverend Xue put it, this is the fifth meeting, and yet they really don't know what else to communicate, apart from the old things.

1,000 quantum bits of quantum computer cyber attacks...

It's better to be targeted by this “alien level” power, or just lie down. The technical subordination is no longer a problem that can be solved by a few meetings.

In addition to renouncing resistance, they can only think of inefficient means of communication, such as "one secret at a time”, or countermeasures in the true sense of the word ”correspondence" era.

“The LWE program is too inefficient, the Soliloquy program is not safe enough, the quantum communication conditions are too harsh, point-to-point communication is fine, more than 100 kilometers can be directly excluded, unless we can equip everyone with a key to the Mozi satellite... Hiccup, this leader really gives us a problem. ”

Shivering a cigarette clamped to his finger, an old man with white hair took a sip and wrinkles stuck together on his face.

The other middle-aged man with glasses next to him showed a slight discomfort on his face and seemed unable to stand the smell of the cigarette, but nothing was said, except a slight cough.

“I wish I could get Master Lu into our project team. Cryptography is really a mathematician's specialty. ”

This sentence has just fallen, and many people consciously cast their gaze at the Academician Wang Shicheng sitting at the corner of the table.

After being watched by so many people, Wang Shicheng, who had almost begun to fall asleep, opened his eyes and said.

“What are you looking at me for? ”

An academician sitting next to him coughed and said.

“Didn't you expect Yin Dae Math Center to come up with an idea? ”

“Don't look for me,” Wang Shicheng did, “this thing is no longer mathematical, you should look for physics. ”

A lot of people's faces have a bitter smile when they hear this big bull figure in Chinese mathematics say so. Especially Reverend Xue, who smiled bitterly and was a little embarrassed.

A young professor sitting next to him, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

“By the way, Master Lu is mainly working for the IMCRC right now, right? Seems to be studying something... boat particles? ”

The professor sitting opposite nodded.

“Z particles, I've heard of them. I've read that paper several times, and the characteristics of the Z particle are kind of interesting, and they exist for a while, and they don't exist for a while. When it doesn't exist, you can't see it on the other axes of high-dimensional space, and when it does, it only reveals one tail... Eh, do you think it's possible to use this Z particle for communication? ”

“I don't know... but you say that sounds really interesting, why don't we consult with the Landlord? ”

The topic has developed here, and it has completely escaped.

He coughed heavily and interrupted the meeting table, which began to get lively. Academicians Xue looked at the scholars who had stopped talking and said.

“Well, if you don't move, think about Lu Academician's side. The center must trust our ability to put this task in our hands. As for Master Lu, he has his business to deal with, we cannot rely on him to do anything. ”

And then he went on, “And we're not talking about communication, we're talking about how to put a lock on our message, don't run away! ”

With a distorted topic, this Academician Xue came back with two words.

It is embarrassing, however, that when the subject is back on track, the entire conference room is relapsed into initial silence, without a single speaker.

At this point, a sudden knock outside the door broke the awkwardness in the conference room.

As if he had been saved, Xue Huaxian hurriedly said.

“Come in. ”

The door pushed open.

I saw his young assistant, holding a pile of documents in his hand, and he hurriedly walked in.

Looking at the documents sent to him, Dr. Xue was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

“What is this?”

“Latest news coming from the center...”

Looking at the look on Mr. Xue's face, the young assistant swallowed his mouth and said, "The quantum encryption algorithm project… has been cancelled. ”

Originally silent conference room.

A moment of excitement...
