Chapter 1197 524 Qubits!

If you want to spread Huaguo's optical cables all over the world and redefine the central node of the world Internet, you need not only advanced communication technology, but also strong sea power and political power as guarantees.

Fortunately, the miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology completed a few years ago provided the basis for the former. The expansion of cross-regional power grids in Southeast Asia has at least won ASEAN onto this chariot called "Unconditional Safety Optical Cable".

Of course, although the foundation for advancing the global optical cable system is in place, it is not all smooth sailing.

Due to the non-cooperation of the United States, the submarine optical cable project originally scheduled to start from Shanghai and land in Los Angeles was forced to temporarily change the laying route, and Panama City replaced Los Angeles and became the trans-Pacific section of the global submarine optical cable in the Americas Continental landing point.

However, although it was decided to bypass the territorial waters of North America, the bidding for the bandwidth of the submarine cable was still carried out in accordance with the standards of the Asia-Pacific No. 2 submarine cable.

Obviously, the Trans-Pacific Submarine Cable Commission still has not "abandoned" the United States.

Even if they don't plan to get on the train, seats are still reserved for them on this high-speed train.

It's just that if you wait until the time to buy the ticket, I'm afraid it won't be as cheap as it is now...

...

The second week after the announcement of the bidding information.

The only bid was sent to the Trans-Pacific Submarine Optical Cable Committee.

With almost no suspense, East Asia Communications defeated its non-existent competitors and easily won the project.

Faced with such a result, SubCom, which had been pushing the No. 3 Asia-Pacific submarine optical cable all the time, raised doubts. In particular, its CEO Marcati publicly stated in an interview with CNN that he believes that there is a phenomenon of power rent-seeking, and declared that the so-called quantum communication is just a cover.

"...I admit that the current network information security is facing serious challenges, but it is far from threatening the level claimed by Huaguo's information security department."

"Yes, in theory, quantum communication technology can indeed achieve maximum secrecy, and the combination of quantum channels and traditional channels can also solve the problem of transmission speed, but I still doubt whether it makes sense to do so? "

"There are too many methods in this world to ensure the security of communication, but they chose the most troublesome and expensive one, regardless of whether they really solved the quantum repeater that has made research institutions all over the world embarrassing Problem, and even if they did, I don't think it's the right time."

Host: "...that sounds familiar."

"Yes, it's just a terrorist!" Malkaty hammered his knee angrily, but he quickly realized his gaffe, so he said, "Sorry, this paragraph will be subtracted."

"Okay, Mr. Malcati." The host nodded to the photographers in the studio, then looked at Malcati with a smile and continued, "In addition to the export of values, expanding their hegemony on the Internet... and Any other reason?"

Malkadi said without hesitation.

"Of course there is. Compared with those long-term goals, the most direct role of this submarine cable is to set the threshold for a fair and competitive submarine cable market, and to allow communication companies and taxpayers in other countries to pay for their immature technologies. Pay the bill!"

After the CNN interview was broadcast, it caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet.

Especially in the industry.

Almost no one is optimistic about the submarine optical cable led by Huaguo, and almost no one is optimistic about the quantum communication technology of East Asia Communications.

This is understandable, after all, more than 90% of the market share is in the hands of SubCom in the United States, NEC in Japan, and Alcatel-Lucent in Europe. The vast majority of scholars and research institutions engaged in research in this field have more or less funding sources are all related to them.

They are short-handed and cannibalistic. Even if they do not speak for them, these research institutions have absolutely no reason to speak for East Asia Communication.

Not to mention, the quantum optical cable technology developed by East Asia Communications is shaking their jobs...

However, even though most people are not optimistic about East Asia Communications' quantum communication technology, this has not had any impact on the trans-Pacific cable project.

In fact, except for a few hard-core allies of the United States, most countries in the Asia-Pacific region have no position on this issue. Since Hua Guo is willing to pay more money, they are of course happy to use this method of communication.

As for confidentiality...

To be honest, they themselves have nothing worth thinking about.

Especially for countries covered by inter-regional power grids, their position on this matter is even more delicate. Under the premise that Huaguo expressed his willingness to bear most of the cost of laying optical cables, the communication companies in Southeast Asia almost did not hesitate to punch in and get on the bus.

Customers who have made a deal once are always more likely to make another deal than customers who have never made a deal.

Especially under the premise that they have already enjoyed the benefits of the technological dividends brought about by controllable fusion from Huaguo, they have no reason to refuse at all.

If Huaguo plans to help them upgrade the communication industry by the way...

Then let those Chinese people to toss about.

Anyway, it's much cheaper than their own tossing...

In this way, no one paid any attention to SubCom's dissatisfaction, and all work was carried out step by step.

Even though North American official research institutions continued to publish research reports questioning the safety of this communication method and doubting whether it was really as reliable as East Asia Power described, it did not have any impact on the entire project.

At the same time, after more than a month of adjustments, the quantum encryption algorithm developed by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has finally changed the RAS algorithm that was originally used in the domestic financial and communication industries.

The upgraded encryption algorithm will be able to resist brute force cracking by a quantum computer with 2000 qubits, and is theoretically the most advanced encryption algorithm in the world.

Seeing that Huaguo has fully promoted this algorithm, other countries that were still a little hesitant, as well as international financial institutions, also began to waver.

After all, if there are really major security risks, it is impossible for Huaguo to promote it as a national secret encryption algorithm nationwide. Mistakes on this kind of issue, the risks caused are not a joke. It is no exaggeration to say that detonating an economic crisis is enough...

Seeing that the 20th Asia-Pacific Network Information Security Summit hosted by the Shanghai-Shanghai Economic Cooperation Organization is about to be held again, it is no surprise that Huaguo will bring this algorithm to the summit again, and national research institutions in various countries have begun to take it seriously. From the beginning of the research, whether this algorithm can resist the network attack of 2000 qubits as claimed by the Huaguo Research Institute...

In this way, time passed day by day.

Finally, the day before the 20th Asia-Pacific Network Information Security Summit was held.

Just when representatives from Asia-Pacific countries were going to Shanghai for a meeting, a major event suddenly happened in the semiconductor industry.

There was no warning, no warning.

In the main issue of "Future", a comprehensive paper was suddenly published, introducing the "latest" research results of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study-a 524-qubit supercomputer based on carbon-based processor technology.

The author of the paper——

Lu Zhou.

Just as soon as the latest issue of "Future" was published.

The whole world is boiling!

(Recommend a friend's new book, "I Can Connect to the Past", the setting is very interesting, it is probably like the stone door, you can talk to your future self. Interested book friends can learn about it~)
