Storms come all of a sudden.

Under the joint action of the Ministry of public security and the general staff, a number of spy organizations lurking in China were uprooted. A total of 67 unsent intelligence documents were intercepted and more than 200 leaked intelligence were traced.

According to the list of confessions and the clues intercepted in the espionage documents, almost all the criminals from the top to the grass-roots level were arrested and all the officials involved were also killed.

Different from other crimes, treason is always the most sensitive high-voltage line, and there is no room for compromise in front of this red line.

At the same time, as far away as the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the CIA headquarters was passively involved in the thundering action that swept across the whole China, making a lot of noise.

The arrest of intelligence personnel from other countries in China, both in time and in speed, was beyond the expectation of CIA intelligence experts and senior policy makers.

They didn't think about the possibility of divulging secrets, nor did they do a good emergency plan, but all of them seemed to lose their function at this moment.

This big net doesn't know when it started, it has been put on their necks. Even when this big net began to tighten, they didn't feel any abnormality at all.

They are not even sure whether the information they have received in this period of time is sent offline or is deliberately shown to them by the general staff of the Chinese state.

In any case, from the beginning, this fiasco has doomed their defeat.

The loss caused by this is almost more than the total loss of the CIA's overseas activities in the past decade, even comparable to the Waterloo they suffered in the bay of pigs.

And that's not the deadliest.

The most deadly thing is that even now they don't know where the big basket came from, which directly installed the whole intelligence network they spent more than ten years deploying in China.

In short, no matter what, something has happened and someone has to be responsible for it.

It is said that on the night of the incident, the president was furious in the White House. He cursed the director of the CIA and directly threw the investigation and evidence collection work to their old counterpart, the FBI.

When it comes to the FBI, their lives are not so easy.

In addition to the urgent withdrawal of intelligence personnel deployed in the Asia Pacific region who have not yet been caught, a major purge is also taking place within the CIA.

First, the CIA chief resigned, then more than 20 senior officials were suspended from their posts and held in custody and investigated by the FBI.

But no one would have thought that it was not because of any traitor.

The information and whereabouts of their intelligence personnel are not internal ghosts at all, just a small box.

In front of it, there is no secret at all.

Let alone just a few spies

……

At a time when North America's intelligence system in the Asia Pacific region is nearly paralyzed, academician Lu, the real "behind the chain reaction", is still unaware of this.

He didn't know his invention at all. He did such a good job.

It's Chang'an Street that writes the letter to take the small box. It's clear that it's for research and help him solve the secret patent issue. However, it is unlikely that Lu Zhou would have thought that just after the front foot of the little toy he made was sent to Chang'an Street, the back foot was borrowed by the National Security Bureau, which is engaged in anti espionage work

However, it is not necessary for him to know so much as a scholar.

Some things know more, but it's a kind of burden. It's not for the purpose of protection not to tell him.

For at least 50 years, the stories behind the action will be sealed in the archives as top secret documents. Except for the relevant personnel who issued and implemented the order, it is impossible for anyone else to know the truth behind the thunder action.

After all, with CIA's narrow mind and hatred of urine, if you know who did it, I'm afraid you'll have to have the mind to drive the plane to land and boat home.

But then again, even if there are no such things, some people may not want the land boat to live

In the field of security, quantum computer has shown its power of terror.

Although not many people know that the shock that this fear will change the strategic balance of the whole Asia Pacific region is caused by it, due to the fact that the central government has been blowing for some time ago, the relevant research units are still actively or passively studying the encryption algorithm for restraining quantum computer technology.

Institute of information engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As the top research institution in the field of information security in China, a group of big bulls who can easily guess their strong identity just by looking at their hair volume are sitting at the conference table.

Some time ago, they received orders from Chang'an Street.

According to reliable sources, the Pentagon is studying the application of quantum computer technology to intelligence collection. Shangjing hopes that they can develop an encryption algorithm to deal with the network attacks launched by quantum computers with more than 1000 qubits.In fact, this requirement sounds strange, because now the highest quantum computer technology has only achieved 100 qubits. No matter how to consider the situation of more than 1000 qubits, it's a little too worrisome.

But in any case, judging from the importance attached by the Central Committee and the allocated funds, this task is not like a joke. Almost half of the big bulls in the field of cryptography have been gathered in this conference room of less than 50 square meters, and everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement before entering

"Today is the fifth meeting," academician Xue Jinhui continued with a serious look around the table. "I hope you can pool your ideas and put forward some constructive suggestions."

Academician Xue Jinhui has not only served as the deputy director of the Institute of information engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also participated in the development of twin field quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol.

The QKD protocol is also the first quantum encryption algorithm independently developed by the Chinese research team. That's why he was chosen as the academic leader of the whole project.

There was talk in the meeting room.

The big bulls in cryptography circle look at each other and exchange their eyes for headache and helplessness.

As academician Xue said, this is the fifth meeting. However, apart from the commonplace things, they really don't know what else can be exchanged.

The network attack launched by 1000 qubit quantum computer

It's better to lie down if you are stared at by this "alien level" power. Among them, the problem of poor technology generation can no longer be solved by several meetings.

In addition to giving up resistance, what they can think of is only the inefficient communication means of "one secret at a time", or the era of "letter exchange" can really resist this means of cracking.

"The LWE scheme is too inefficient, the soliloquy scheme is not safe enough, the quantum communication conditions are too harsh, and point-to-point communication is not a problem. The distance of more than 100 kilometers can be excluded directly, unless we can provide everyone with the key to the Muzi satellite Hiss, this leader really gives us a problem. "

Shaking the cigarette between his fingers, an old man with gray hair took a sip and the wrinkles on his face were crowded together.

Sitting next to him, another middle-aged man with glasses showed a trace of displeasure on his face. It seemed that he could not bear the smell of the smoke, but he didn't say anything, just coughed gently.

"I wish I could get academician Lu into our project team. Cryptography, as expected, is still the specialty of mathematicians. "

This sentence just fell, many people subconsciously put their eyes on Academician Wang Shicheng sitting at the corner of the table.

Being watched by so many people, Academician Wang Shicheng, who almost began to doze off, said with wide eyes.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Said one of the academicians sitting next to him with a cough.

"I don't expect your Yanda mathematics center to come up with an idea."

"Don't look for me," Wang Shicheng said, putting his hand on it. "It's not math anymore. It's time for you to look for physics."

When I heard that the Chinese mathematician said that, many people showed a wry smile on their faces. Academician Xue, in particular, was embarrassed when he smiled bitterly.

A young professor sitting next to him who had not spoken suddenly opened his mouth.

"In other words, academician Lu is now mainly responsible for imcrc's work, right? It's like studying something Boat particles? "

The professor sitting opposite nodded.

"Z particle, I've heard about it. I've seen that paper several times. The properties of the Z particle are interesting. It exists for a while and doesn't exist for a while. When it doesn't exist, you can't see it on other axes of high-dimensional space. When it exists, it only shows one tail Well, you say, is it possible to use this Z particle for communication? "

"I don't quite understand But you say that, it seems that it's really interesting. Why don't we consult academician Xialu? "

Now that the topic has developed here, it's completely off topic.

He coughed heavily and interrupted the busy conference table. Academician Xue looked at the scholars who stopped talking and said.

"Well, don't hesitate to go to academician Lu. The Central Committee must have trusted our ability to put this task in our hands. As for academician Lu, he has his business to deal with. We can't rely on him to do everything. "

After a pause, he continued, "what's more, we're not talking about means of communication, but how to put a lock on our information. Don't get off the subject!"

With a crooked topic, academician Xue broke it back again in a few words.

However, it is embarrassing that after the topic is back on track, the entire conference room is back into the original silence, and there is no one to speak.At this time, there was a knock on the door, breaking the embarrassment in the conference room.

As if he had been saved, said academician Xue.

"Come in, please."

The door opened.

Seeing that his young assistant was holding a stack of documents in his hand, he hurriedly walked in,

looking at the documents sent to him, academician Xue was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"This is?"

"The latest news is coming from the center..."

Looking at the expression on academician Xue's face, the young assistant swallowed his saliva and said awkwardly, "quantum encryption algorithm project It's cancelled. "

The originally silent conference room.

A moment of excitement
