Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Another big thing happened in the telecommunications industry after a long holiday in May 1.

A news of a major breakthrough in quantum communication technology at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies suddenly appeared on the Internet, and the sound of a time of heated debate boiled down.

The Institute of Information Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had only recently announced the progress of research on quantum computers, which had not been seen anywhere in two months, and the news of quantum communication technology had emerged again.

Unlike the news on the quantum computer, however, this time it was released by the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies.

Given the special place of this ivory tower in Chinese academia and in the hearts and minds of the Chinese people, the credibility of this message remains very high in the minds of the vast majority of people.

Lenovo's contortion of SubCom's third Asia-Pacific submarine cable project for some time now has led many to speculate that perhaps the Chinese State intends to adopt the latest quantum communications technology to lay out the third Asia-Pacific submarine cable in this article.

Though this kind of statement makes a lot of professionals snort, it doesn't take long for these questionable voices to get punched in the face.

First, the Trans-Pacific Submarine Cable Management Committee was inaugurated in Shanghai, followed by the publication of a list of participating countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Subsequently, the Trans-Pacific Submarine Cable Management Committee initiated a bidding process that published the bidding requirements for the Trans-Pacific Submarine Cable Project. The requirement expressly mentions that, in order to ensure the security of Internet information, the submarine optical cable will adopt the latest quantum communications technology and welcomes the strong bidding and fair competition of the major submarine cable companies.

Faced with such demands, be it the NEC in Japan or SubCom in the United States, it is a disgraceful expression.

Trans-Pacific Quantum Cable?

Why the hell aren't you in heaven?

……

Across the Pacific Ocean, White House Mansion.

The president, sitting behind the desk, pinched some sour eyebrows and looked at FBI Director Michael Brighton walking to the table, saying in a tired tone.

“What about the results of the investigation? ”

More than two hundred spies and the downline of their development have been wiped out by China's security services.

This not only plunges their intelligence efforts into total passivity, but also into international disgrace and embarrassment throughout their diplomatic strategy.

This is all the more amusing when something like this suddenly erupts, especially at a time when the United States continues to denounce other countries for stealing their own secrets.

At any given time, espionage is extremely disgraceful, even though the CIA's operations abroad are almost a public secret, with a veil of shame.

While the White House has spoken out and said that it has no knowledge of the matter, it appears a little pale in the face of the iron evidence of the mountains, however fierce the denial may be.

This is not something that can be uncovered by a director of the downtown district, and the cause of this must be found from the source.

If there's a traitor inside the CIA, pull him out.

For almost a month, the entire CIA has been under investigation by the FBI, and this investigation report is now finally out...

“Unexpectedly, although I am willing to believe that the CIA's two or five boys betrayed us, all direct or indirect investigative evidence points to the innocence of those suspended officials...”

Looking sharply at the President, Director Brighton continued with no expression.

“… this is not about exonerating the CIA, in fact I would rather put them all in jail. But all the evidence does suggest that this heavy accident was not caused by a mole. ”

President: "Then tell me why! ”

“I'm afraid because of a more serious problem," Commissioner Brighton continued with a stern expression, "according to the analysis of our intelligence agents, the Chinese State may have a round-the-clock surveillance device capable of extracting the information they need from our intelligence network in a way that we cannot detect. ”

Hearing this ridiculous explanation, the President sitting behind the desk said ironically, as if he had heard some funny jokes.

“Is it mind reading or soul taking? ”

“I'm not kidding,” Director Brighton said earnestly, "I suggest a dedicated investigation team be set up to investigate the matter. In order to prevent a tragedy from happening again, we must give them a high degree of decision-making power on the ground, with all the necessary means at all times, and radio silence until the truth is found out, and no one but themselves knows who they are… including you and me. ”

The President's eyes narrowed slightly and his tone was not good enough to say.

“You suspect me and the Chinese are leaking secrets? ”

“I didn't,” Commissioner Brighton said unchanged, “but it was necessary. ”

At this point, footsteps were heard outside the office.

Director Brighton, who was going to say something, immediately stopped talking.

“Mr. President,” he knocked, seeing the Secretary of State coming in from the outside, glancing at Commissioner Brighton standing at his desk, continuing, "… I have something important to report to you, but… if your conversation with Mr. Brighton is not over, I can wait outside for a moment. ”

“No,” the President looked at Commissioner Brighton, silent for a while in his anticipation and said, "just do as you say. ”

Finally relieved, Director Brighton nodded.

“Yes.”

After that, he turned around and left the office of the President, closing the door and walking away.

Looking in the direction of Director Brighton's disappearance, the Secretary of State's eyebrows picked a choice and looked to the President for curiosity.

“Is it the CIA mole thing? Did you get him? ”

“No,” said the president in an unfavourable tone, "it was easy to regain your normal complexion again,“ just say your thing. ”

“The Embassy of China just visited me. ”

As soon as he heard the word "China", the president had a headache and reached out and rubbed his eyebrows and said.

“Again? ”

“Not this time…” the Secretary of State continued with a slightly subtle expression on his face, "they did not mention the spy thing at all this time, but made an irrelevant proposal. ”

“What proposal? ”

“In response to the deteriorating situation of cybersecurity, they proposed the establishment of a multinational expert expert working group to update the international common encryption algorithm. ”

“Update encryption algorithm? What do you mean," the president frowned, "what's wrong with the encryption algorithm now? ”

Secretary of State: "No problem, at least not as far as I know. So far, the RAS algorithm is still the most reliable encryption algorithm, which I have consulted with cryptologists at the National Laboratory of Agon. But the problem now is that they're speculating that RAS encryption algorithms have major security risks. Meanwhile..."

Paused for a moment, the Secretary of State continued.

“I understand that China is planning recently to introduce the latest photoquantum technology to build a new trans-Pacific submarine cable to complement the existing submarine cable. They propose to be exemplary and bear the full cost of this project, only that we cooperate with their work..."

“... photoquantum submarine cables? ”

The word was chewed repeatedly, and the President had a funny look on his face.

He had heard about the technology and was said to have applied the principles of quantum mechanics to enable unconditional confidentiality.

Technically, this is not something new, and this concept has been raised since the last century, but because of the technical difficulty involved, there has been little substantial progress.

And whether or not the Chinese really possess this technology, and whether or not it's really magical, from a political standpoint alone, he can't promise the Chinese to do this.

Nine of the 13 root servers are in their hands, and although they are not usually able to do an article on this matter, at least it shows that even though the Internet, like Antarctica, nominally belongs to all humankind, its center is still in the United States.

Only they are eligible to define the standards of the Internet.

Includes the algorithm in which each byte of data is encrypted and in what form they are disseminated.

To be honest, they have no obligation to cooperate with China at all at the expense of their own interests.

In the case of traditional submarine cables, all they need to do is send a nuclear submarine and cut a small piece of the shell of the submarine cable with a robotic arm, so that they can physically and perfectly eavesdrop on all the data passing through the cable.

And in fact, that's what they and their allies have been doing, and even one time they cut the optical cable off by a pig teammate and made a big story out of it.

Now that China's going to light up quantum submarine cables, aren't you going to believe the honest Statue of Liberty?

No wonder they stirred up the concept of quantum computers some time ago...

That's what I was thinking.

To think of it, the face of the President had a slight expression like this.

All the clues, in his heart, are connected.

He suddenly thought of the ancient Chinese phrase “drunk old man, not concerned with alcohol on the table”, meaning that behind any seemingly suspicious behavior, there was actually another plot.

It is so fitting to describe the practices of those Chinese!

“Tell them that it is they who are threatening global cyber information security, and if they really intend to take some leadership on cyber information security, stop hackers who are employed by PLA from stealing our state secrets and technology! ”

“As for quantum submarine optical cables… The White House of Business Conduct does not intend to intervene, but we doubt whether this immature technology can take on such a critical and important task. We won't allow it to land in North America unless they can prove it's reliable enough. ”

Secretary of State: "What do you mean… we just refuse? ”

“Otherwise?” The president said carelessly, "I saw through their little ghost tricks. ”
