Step into the lab.

Academician Xue looked around nervously.

On the one hand, it's because of curiosity, on the other hand, it's because of fear of seeing something that shouldn't be seen.

As if he had seen through his worries, Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone as he took him to the laboratory.

"Don't be so nervous. Since you are a relevant person, these things are nothing even if you see them."

If it's the lab on the third floor, it doesn't matter here. Now that he has moved these things to the surface, it means that even if they are seen by others, they will not be in any way.

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, academician Xue was relieved at last, and his calm expression was restored on his face, and he began to look at the layout of the laboratory curiously.

This is different from most of the labs he has seen. It can even be said that compared with a lab, it is more like a workshop with simple structure.

Looking at the nearest wardrobe like device connected to a computer, academician Xue asked casually.

"This is?"

"Laser melt 3D printing system It's mainly used to process some of the metal and plastic devices I need. After all, it's very troublesome to find a partner to order. I don't want to waste time in waiting. "

Academician Xue was surprised.

"You can still operate this thing?"

The boat explained casually.

"In a sense, it can be voiced Thanks to our AI technology. "

Hearing this explanation, academician Xue subconsciously opened his mouth.

Voice control?

AI?

How do you control voice and intelligence?

He can understand automatic modeling, but how can AI understand what kind of model users need in a few words? Is this a problem that can be solved by simple artificial intelligence or fuzzy operation?

However, after all, he is not an expert in this field. If he doesn't understand, he has no right to speak, so he doesn't get involved in this issue. Instead, he looks at another device he doesn't understand.

"Then What about that? " Pointing to the silver and white metal tube across the laboratory, academician Xue continued, "what's the use of that thing?"

"Multi line single photon channel This is what I'm going to show you. "When I got to the middle of the metal tube, I picked up my gloves from the experimental table beside me and put them on. I carefully took out a cylinder structure covered with titanium alloy bracket from a low-temperature inert gas protection box.

In the section of the cylinder, you can see the honeycomb shaped opening, and in the center of the cylinder, it is composed of translucent vessels like frosted glass.

Looking at the unintelligible things coming out one after another, academician Xue felt like a primitive man.

Although he didn't want to say why, he couldn't understand it. At last, he opened his mouth in frustration.

"And what is it?"

"A three-dimensional cavity with multi-mode structure, the main material is an alloy composed of ytterbium, molybdenum and other materials, which can satisfy all our illusions about the quantum world..." It seems that this sentence is not accurate enough. After thinking for a while, the boat corrected and said, "at least at this stage of fantasy."

Academician Xue opened his mouth slightly in silence.

All that was ahead of his expectation.

Intuition told him that the power of the things in front of him might be beyond his imagination, but for a while he could not say clearly where the magic magic power came from.

So that

For a while he even forgot his original purpose of coming here.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask. I'll talk to you about your confusion later."

As if seeing through the surprise and thirst for knowledge on the old man's face, Lu Zhou lightly nodded his head, then turned around to place the mysterious cylinder on the groove with almost 100% of the opening.

Watching the cylinder descend at a constant speed under the traction of gravity, the boat stepped back and stood next to a computer with a satisfied smile on its face.

"Perfect!"

Academician Xue: " I don't quite understand. "

"In short, it's a quantum entanglement amplifier, which you can think of as a magnifying glass. But what it enhances is not light, but something more microscopic than light. "

Academician Xue 's face was slightly moved, and a crazy possibility appeared in his mind.

“…… Single photon? "

"Right But it's not completely, exactly, a pair of entangled photons. "

As he spoke, the boat made a loud finger, as if he heard some kind of order. The signal light on the chassis behind him lit up for the second time, and the two ends of the silver white metal tube in front of him also made a slight buzz.He didn't realize how shocking the scene was to the man next to him. The boat continued.

“…… By placing the three-dimensional cavity of this multi-mode structure in a special magnetic field, the free ytterbium atom in the alloy will enter an extremely insensitive state, which will be isolated from the interference in the environment, and the photons at the entrance port will be captured and synchronized, and then the entangled state will be transferred to the next repeater through a new single photon transmitter, and the above process will be repeated. "

Academician Xue's eyes widened in a flash.

"This, isn't it!"

"It seems that you have guessed," Lu Zhou nodded with a smile, "quantum communication."

In the middle of the conversation, the preparation of the experiment has been completed.

64 pairs of photons are transmitted from port a, amplified by the repeater as they pass through the quantum repeater in the middle of the pipeline, transmitted to the next channel, and finally received by the receiver of port B.

Looking at the numbers fed back on the screen, Lu Zhou's mouth held a trace of smile.

64 photon pairs!

All received!

There is no doubt that his experiment has been successful!

Staring at what happened in front of him, academician Xue stood in the center of the laboratory until Lu Zhou collected the data into the database, and then he gradually recovered from his surprise.

"It's over?"

Standing in front of the computer, Lu Zhou casually returns.

"It's over. The experiment was a success."

Academician Xue: " What are you going to show me? "

There is no doubt that what he saw in front of him is more confidential than quantum encryption algorithm.

He couldn't understand why the boat had to show these things to himself.

"Because it's not perfect, I've only solved some problems, but there are still some unsolved problems, and this part is not what I'm good at..." Lu Zhou looked at the clock on the wall of his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "now that the experiment is over, we may as well talk in another place."

With that, Lu Zhou reached out and knocked down several buttons on the keyboard. After waiting for the equipment to shut down completely, he pressed the power button beside the chassis.

After finishing these things, he put his eyes back on academician Xue and offered an invitation.

"Go to my office."

"We can have a drink and talk about these interesting questions."
