I have to say that the efficiency of Mr. Wang’s work is indeed quite high.

Almost immediately after seeing Lu Zhou, I circled all the people in my circle of friends who met the criteria of “excellent entrepreneurs” and flicked on the “thief ship”, one did not run away. .

In this way, you invested a hundred million, I invested 200 million, and finally managed to raise 10 billion out of hard, really shocked Lu Zhou.

Originally his plan was to raise a billion yuan to get out. Then he went to the bank to make a loan of 5 billion yuan, issued a multi-billion-dollar corporate bond, and got more than 10 billion to repair this submarine cable. Woke up.

Now that it’s good, corporate bonds don’t have to be issued, and they are directly looking for a bank loan of more than two billion yuan. All the construction funds will be collected.

In this way, a company with a registered capital of up to 10 billion, behind numerous numerous platforms, called East Asia Communications, was quietly listed in Shanghai.

If this is the case, it will continue to be low-key, and perhaps no one will notice the company.

However, this company has just been established, and it has done an earth-shattering event.

In the Asia-Pacific submarine cable project on the 3rd, the whole industry was stranded in the downturn. The suddenly-smashed spoiler waved the banknotes in his hands and spent 5 billion rmb, acquiring nearly 80% of the companies operating the submarine cable business in China. .

Such a large handwriting, a big sweep of Liuhe, the unification of the rivers and lakes, not only alarmed the CSRC, and even the X Development and Reform Commission were alarmed.

However, because it has already been greeted in advance, this has not had any impact on the dozens of acquisitions of East Asia Communications.

In order to compete with foreign monopoly giants, the necessary monopoly is also to promote the integration of resources, and this is also the state's acquiescence.

What's more, some of them are shares of state-owned assets.

Only because the communications industry is sensitive, this part is not very high in order to prevent overseas business from being affected.

The emergence of East Asian communications has stirred up the submarine cable market that was originally a stagnant water.

Whether it is the nec of the Japanese, the Alcatel-Lucent of Europe, or the sub of the United States, they feel a glimpse of the pressure.

Although East Asian power, both in scale and in terms of technology, is far worse than the pioneers who have led the way for half a century.

But who is going to say good things about the future?

Moreover, according to past experience, as long as it is the project that the Chinese people are eyeing, the price is hit on the floor without exception.

This is also the place where East Asia Telecom’s international counterparts are most troubled...

......

Just as East Asia Power is completing high-profile integration of resources for the domestic submarine cable business, and when it enters the international market with impetuosity, the work on changing the national encryption algorithm and the bench to promote the update of international encryption algorithms are also in China. With the support of the department, it is steadily pushing.

Of course, the latter is not so smooth compared to the smooth sailing of the former.

Shortly after the US representative missed the Asia-Pacific Network Information Security Summit held in Beijing, the Piens Laboratory of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published a research report, claiming that China was present at the Asia-Pacific Network Information Security Summit. The qn2000 quantum encryption algorithm may have significant security risks and is recommended for caution in the financial industry.

Although it is only a risk warning that it is not painful, it still causes a lot of waves in the industry.

After all, this Piens Laboratory is not an unknown name. The founder is the founder of Dr. Alex Pines' solid-state NMR technology.

Since the establishment of the Piens Laboratory, its research scope covers quantum information science, quantum computing, chemistry, structural biology, and medicine. Especially in the research direction of quantum cryptography algorithms, it is in the world's leading position.

Therefore, the weight of this risk warning report is somewhat unavoidable.

"It seems that the Americans do not want to lock the safes of their own homes," said Gao Junwen, an academician who put down his newspaper and cocked his legs. "And not just don't plan to lock your safe, not yet." Let other people buy their locks."

Since returning from Jinling last time, he finally understood the hardships of his old friend Xue Jinhui, and finally understood the high-level good intentions and why he made this series of arrangements.

If the quantum computer's computing power really reaches more than 500 qubits.

These technologies will be brought to market without any buffer preparation, and the financial and communication security of the world will be seriously threatened. In the face of a 500-qubit quantum computer, it is no exaggeration to say that still using the current encryption algorithm is no different from stripping the street in the street.

"If you refuse, you can refuse it," Xue said with a squint and smiled. He said, "We have already reminded them that they don't appreciate themselves, so we can't blame us."

A stable international market environment is conducive to the development of China. Whether it is for basic morality or its own interests, China hopes that the United States can adopt a more secure encryption algorithm.

however……

If the White House insists on resisting this, China does not ask for their obligations.

However, if the United States insists on streaking on the street, they must deal with the possible risks in advance...

Especially the central bank.

"This is what it is said, but it is obviously not just a matter of encryption algorithms. Most of the submarine cables will not let us pass their territory."

In the face of the old friend's concerns, Xue Academician smiled inadvertently.

"The Pacific is so big, the East Coast is more than one country in the United States. If they don't plan to let our quantum cables land on their shorelines, then let this opportunity be given to other countries."

Academician Gao Junwen showed an unexpected expression on his face.

"Do you mean... directly bypassing the United States? But this is the case"

Academician Xue said with a smile: "In this way, our cable has lost its meaning... What do you want to say is this right?"

The high academician nodded.

This is obvious.

Even if there is confrontation in cooperation, North America is still a market that China cannot afford to give up.

Moreover, the center of the Internet is there. If this cable does not land in North America, it will lose its meaning. With the size of the small countries of Central America and South America, it is impossible to build a submarine cable to the door of their home.

Seeing that the high academician nodded, Xue’s face showed such a look, and smiled and shook his head and said.

"You, your eyes still have to be long-term. Now quantum computer technology has grown to 500 qubits. In the future, they have to make choices on security and pride. What's more..."

As he said, he held his hands on the armrests and snorted and stood up from the chair.

Before walking to the world map hanging on the office wall, Xue Xueshi reached up and picked up a red pen and drew a line along the path of the Tropic of Cancer.

The line starts from Shanghai in the west, goes directly to Central America, crosses the Panama Canal, crosses the Atlantic Ocean, goes straight into the Strait of Gibraltar, enters the Red Sea from the Suez Canal, and finally returns to East Asia through the Indian Ocean and the Straits of Malacca.

Looking at this red line across the world, the expression on the face of the high academician gradually became a shock.

This shock is even stronger than when he stood in the laboratory of the Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies.

It was not until Xue Xueshi threw the pen back to the table that he opened his mouth and said.

"This is too..."

Looking at the old friend who was full of shock, Xue Xueshi said with a smile.

"pretty shocked?"

The high academician nodded honestly.

"...is very surprised."

Academician Xue smiled and cast his eyes on the window, gradually becoming a bit of a memory.

"The last time I talked with Academician Lu, we agreed that no matter whether it is a quantum encryption algorithm or a traditional encryption algorithm, any problem-based asymmetric encryption algorithm has serious limitations. In our limited computing power. It is useful, but as our information technology continues to evolve, computing power continues to increase, especially after entering the quantum age, it is not so useful."

"Thinking of a problem with solutions is always more difficult than solving the problem itself. Today we need the np problem. What we need tomorrow is the n^2p problem. If we continue to do so, we will not be able to fill this gap one day."

"Unconditional and secure communication is the only solution, and only this type of communication can adapt to the computing power of exponential growth and the need for future communications."

"On this issue, we are not choosing the future, but choosing us in the future."

"The attitude they resist is not a good thing for us."

The trans-Pacific submarine cable is just the beginning, and Central America is just a springboard. The submarine cable of East Asia Power is not only going east, but the four directions of southeast and northwest are on the blueprint of China's national information strategy.

Wait until this blueprint is realized, not just the Trans-Pacific Cable Management Committee, transatlantic, trans-Mediterranean, trans-Indian Ocean... and so on.

Or simply set up a global submarine cable management committee.

And this is their ultimate goal...
