Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Summit concluded with the adoption of a resolution finalizing new international cryptographic algorithm standards.

With this criterion in mind, national communications authorities will upgrade a range of systems with security risks, such as finance, the Internet, etc. to replace more secure quantum encryption algorithms according to their own needs.

Of course, the vast majority of countries are copied directly from the QS2000 encryption algorithm proposed by China.

After all, Professor Lu made this thing and the quantum computer, and probably no one knows better than him how to defend against cyber attacks launched by the quantum computer.

And anyway, Professor Lu's mathematical achievements are a little higher than those of physics.

Even a psychological consolation is better than nothing.

California, North America.

SubCom Corporate Headquarters, a meeting of directors will be held shortly.

Walking into the conference room and sitting down, CEO Markati's face sank into the water, he could not see a single trace of relaxation, even if he tried to make himself look like he had more than a little bit left over from the current situation.

Things have been very bad lately.

While part of the failure of the Asia-Pacific Cable 3 initiative, the continuous decline in company stock prices and the unachievability of earnings are due to the external environment, it cannot be overlooked that the Board does not see a slight opportunity to reverse the situation.

In particular, East Asian communications has completed merger and acquisition reorganization of domestic telecommunications enterprises and is rapidly entering the international market.

There is no doubt that they, the industry giants that have monopolized the market for decades, are facing the worst crisis ever.

Just a few days ago, at the just-concluded Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Summit, China had joined more than fifty countries to form the "New Global Submarine Cable Commission”, abbreviated as GSOC, at which a quantum optical cable along the North Regression Line across the Pacific Ocean, across Central America, connecting the Atlantic Ocean, across the Mediterranean Sea and leaping over the Indian Ocean was planned.

And this optical cable, worth more than $50 billion, has nothing to do with them.

Not only that, but the American opposition to this submarine quantum optical cable suddenly became obscure.

At least Congress has decided to set aside the White House and have the Federal Communications Commission come forward to negotiate "Internet access” with China.

While the national interest is important, it must also be premised on safeguarding the interests of Wall Street.

If Wall Street loses control of the global economy and turns services into a pillar industry, the United States, which has been de-industrialized, will never be able to sustain its current size. Once this happens, the consequences will be unthinkable.

Not surprisingly, this technology of absolute secrecy is the trend of the future.

After all, in the case of conventional optical cables, there is no secret in front of quantum computers, and it is only necessary to cooperate with a nuclear submarine for data collection that the entire line of communication can be listened to and not discovered by anyone.

With the computational power of a quantum computer, the data collector is absolutely capable of screening out useful parts of the ocean of data.

If even basic security cannot be guaranteed, there can be no such thing as credit.

“Mr. Markati,” looked up at Markati sitting at the table, and Bob Carter, chairman of the board, stared into his eyes, lightly tapping the notebook with a pen cap, "you finally came. ”

Trying to withstand the pressure in his gaze, Markati's face was tight and he said.

“Things at work have been delayed for a little while, so can we get started? ”

“Sure, but before the meeting starts, I want to ask you something. ”

“What is it? ”

“We understand that in the global submarine cable project, it seems that our company has been completely excluded and that there has been no slight progress," the eyes have gradually sharpened and Carter has slightly improved the quality of the sound, "said? ”

Guessing that the chairman would ask the question, Markati took a deep breath and tried to defend herself, but didn't think about how to do it for a while, so he had to say.

“We're working on it. ”

Carter nodded and continued.

“I appreciate your efforts, but there are things that can be solved more than just trying, and we need to see results, not bad financial results and falling stock prices. ”

Markati: "Financial returns and stock prices don't represent everything, many things are invisible. We have commissioned the Institute of Quantum Communications of the National Laboratory of Agon to jointly develop quantum repeater technology until we solve the most critical technological bottlenecks ——"

Carter asked bloodily.

“How long will this take? ”

Markati was silent for as long as a minute.

“… I can only assure you that it will be possible within two years. ”

“You seem quite honest, without ignoring me for three months to solve the problem,” the chairman nodded and inadvertently left the report in his hands, "but unfortunately honesty, like hard work, could not solve any problem. ”

Markati was silenced, his fist resting under the table squeezed unconsciously and then slowly loosened.

“You're right. ”

Carter: “Is there a solution? ”

Looking at the silent Markati, Carter sighed and his face showed such a look.

Though he cannot be blamed for what happened, the fact is that they had to make some changes to survive.

Even so, they may have to make some sacrifices for it.

“East Asian Communications offered us an interesting proposal," a gesture to his secretary, Carter took a contract from him and placed it gently on the table, "a financing proposal worth about $20 billion. ”

Twenty billion!

Many of you sucked in a cold breath.

Especially those small shareholders whose equity shares are not so high that they have just been informed, besides breathing a breath of cool air, their faces are changing with a gloomy expression.

East Asian Communication Unit.

It is not good to say what impact the major shareholders will have, after all, that they and East Asia will definitely reach certain agreements that they do not know about. However, it is definitely not a good thing for these small shareholders, as well as the trust companies that hold shares in SubCom.

But in order to survive, the board clearly intends to sacrifice their interests...

“You can't accept it! ”

Almost like a reflex of conditions, Markati stood up vigorously, holding his hands against the table, and spoke with excitement.

“It's a Chinese conspiracy. Although they do have a certain advantage in quantum communications technology, they are at least 20 years short of our experience in laying submarine cables and constructing them once the Chinese get into our board--"

Carter: "You don't have to worry about this. The board of directors here will vote...”

Markati said in a threatening tone: "It is impossible for the Ministry of Commerce to approve! ”

As if he hadn't heard the phrase, Carter calmly looked at the stiff markati and said in a careless tone.

“… As for you, thank you for all your dedication to SubCom over the years. East Asia Communications hopes to appoint a new CEO to facilitate business docking. ”

“When the meeting is over, go to Finance and settle your wages. ”

Watching anger rush out, slamming the door out of the conference room Markati, and faceless board members, Carter sighed softly in his heart.

In any case, SubCom has lost.

Soon the entire submarine optical cable market will have an overwhelming shuffle, and neither SubCom nor NEC will be able to stop this change.

Indeed, NEC has exited the submarine cable market and begun to focus its business back on their basic disc electrical industry. Their old rivals in Europe are also trying to transform their industries, cutting off a number of employees.

Whether he made the right decision today or not.

This is their only option.
