From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 125 This Is Not Scientific, It's Metaphysics
Changan University of Electronic Science and Technology Information Resources Research Center, in the office!
Ye Fei and Cheng Ji'an are sitting here, and they want to discuss the division of labor.

Cheng Ji'an said: "I heard that you advocate using SM2 and SM4 to study cryptographic algorithms?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei said, "If you have any good ideas, you can mention them."

Cheng Ji'an said: "I don't have any good ideas. With the proposals of SM2 and SM4, I think it's not bad."

"I heard Academician Nan Guodong say that you proposed such a traditional research method based on the current national situation at that time. I very much agree with that."

"But you are wrong about one thing. Tradition does not mean non-novelty."

"Innovative things can also be played out of traditional things."

"Like adding cloud to SM2 and SM4."

"Cloud?" Ye Fei said in astonishment, "Join cloud computing?"

"Yes." Cheng Ji'an said: "If cloud computing is added to the encryption algorithm, it will not only greatly speed up the operation speed of the encryption algorithm, but also improve the security of the private key based on the collaborative signature algorithm of SM2."

"I know, you want to introduce the concept of white box in SM4."

"This idea is very good, but we can also add something that can make the cryptographic algorithm better."

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

After all, he is not specialized in cryptography, so he is not as professional as Cheng Ji'an.

"Quantum algorithm!"

"If you add a quantum algorithm, use quantum error correction, and then add a white box."

"With them, SM4 can have the ability to attack exhaustively, and quantum resources are the resource backup of SM4."

"In this way, SM4's weakness and attack ability can be improved!"

"At this time, connect SM2 and SM4 together."

"At this time, the cryptographic algorithm can realize functions such as accelerated calculation speed, high defense security and strong attack capability."

Ye Fei's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, this cryptographic algorithm is perfect."

Think about it, SM2 and SM4 already have very strong defensive capabilities, but now coupled with their fast running speed and strong attack capabilities, this is equivalent to a hexagonal fighter, and there is no shortcoming in any aspect.

Cheng Ji'an said: "I heard that you also proposed Trusted Computing 3.0 at the conference?"

"Hmm!" Ye Fei said, "I also discovered this when I was studying number theory. If our country can develop Trusted Computing 3.0, then in the field of encryption, we can achieve cornering overtaking."

Trusted computing is very important, the most important point is the private key, and the private key is an indispensable part of chip manufacturing.

Sensitive data sent to the chip cannot be authenticated and encrypted without the private key in the chip.

It is equivalent to saying that if there is no private key in the chip, the chip will be useless.

Therefore, any country that masters the most advanced trusted computing will master a part of the core technology of chip manufacturing.

Xia Guo is currently unable to produce low-nanometer chips, but if he masters Trusted Computing 3.0, he can take a part of the initiative in the chip field.

Foreign countries have chips, and Xia Guo has trusted computing and rare earths.

Rare earths are one of the materials used to manufacture high-end chips, and Xia Guo is the country with the most rare earths, accounting for 71.1% of the world's total rare earth possessions.

Ye Feidao: "Of course, I was joking at the time. As for how to research it, I have no idea. I just proposed this concept."

"Hmm!" Cheng Ji'an nodded and said, "About Trusted Computing 3.0, in fact, my teacher also said a few years ago that the era of Trusted Computing 3.0 will come within ten years."

"Many countries are also studying Trusted Computing 3.0, which is also a popular research in the computer field, but it is only at the theoretical and conceptual stage, and there is still a long way to go before the research is completed."

Ye Fei asked: "Your teacher said, how can it be researched?"

"We need to start with the Internet of Things and the blockchain. Perhaps after the realization of these two technologies, Trusted Computing 3.0 will be born."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

Cheng Ji'an laughed and said, "That's far away, let's continue talking about the encryption algorithm!"

After that, the two exchanged for more than two hours.

In the end, the two divided the tasks equally.

SM2 cloud computing is Cheng Ji'an's field of expertise, so Cheng Ji'an is in charge.

And SM4 quantum computing is the field that Ye Fei is good at, so Ye Fei is in charge.

The two of them each led 80 people to conduct research.

In the afternoon, Ye Fei settled in the research room of the theory group.

The Information Resources Research Center is composed of several research offices, and the research on cryptographic algorithms occupies several of them.

In the conference room!

Ye Fei sat on the first seat, looking at his researchers.

These researchers are all top talents from universities and research institutes across the country.

There are full professors and associate professors of 985 universities, as well as researchers of the National Research Center.

Each of them, taken individually, is a top scholar in the country and an internationally renowned scholar.

But now, they are all led by Ye Fei.

At this time, Ye Fei felt a little proud and complacent.

Of course, he is not a fledgling kid now, and he will soon suppress this emotion.

Ye Feidao: "In the next period of time, I will lead everyone to do some theoretical experiments."

"I hope everyone will cooperate sincerely and strive to complete the experiment as soon as possible."

"Papa..." Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Although they were not assigned to the subordinates of Academician Nan Guodong and Professor Cheng Ji'an, they felt a little disappointed.

But it's okay to be assigned to Ye Fei's subordinates, after all, Ye Fei also has real materials.

Yue Fei, who was in the crowd, felt bitter. He and Ye Fei were really destined, and he was assigned to a room with him, and was also assigned to a group led by Ye Fei.

Yue Fei said, "Is it because of my name that I have a great affinity with Ye Fei?"

"It must be so, shit..."

Ye Fei said: "Let me tell you about our next work."

"After my discussion with Professor Cheng, we still take the route of SM2 and SM4. Cloud computing is added to SM2, quantum computing is added to SM4, and what we are studying is SM4 quantum computing."

"The number of qubits, the number of general-purpose quantum logic gates, the depth of quantum circuits, and the value of quantum circuits are used as statistical parameters."

"First, a quantum-optimized implementation of the SM4 algorithm S-box..."

Ye Fei talked for more than an hour, explaining the general experimental steps.

Finally said: "Combined with the quantum circuit of the Grover algorithm to carry out an exhaustive attack on SM4, construct the quantum resources required for this attack."

"The research steps are mainly divided into three parts."

"Preliminary knowledge, quantum implementation of sub-components of the SM4 algorithm, quantum implementation of the SM4 algorithm, and quantum exhaustive attack on the SM4 algorithm."

"Let's take these four parts step by step. The first is the preparatory knowledge, which is the foundation of the foundation. Only when the preparatory knowledge is prepared can the subsequent work be done."

Prerequisite knowledge is equivalent to theory in theory for all jobs.

"The research steps of the preparatory knowledge are respectively the classic implementation of Grover's algorithm, SM4 algorithm key function, key expansion algorithm and SM4 algorithm S-box."

"There are five steps in total. We have 80 people here, and we have to divide them into five groups, each with 16 people."

"I don't know you either, so I'll assign them randomly!"

Soon, Ye Fei assigned everyone well.

Ye Fei said: "Adjourn the meeting and start working tomorrow."

The next day, after breakfast, everyone entered the laboratory and started working.

A month has passed quietly, and in a few days we will enter 2026, and Ye Fei is about to turn 25.

Along the way, Ye Fei felt very fulfilled.

Others are still looking for a job at the age of 25, or going to school.

And at the age of 25, he has already led a team of top domestic scholars to conduct experiments.

On this day, Ye Fei entered the room of the first team, and each of his five teams occupied a room.

He walked in front of a whiteboard and said, "Everyone, come here."

Everyone stopped their movements, stood up and gathered around Ye Fei. Someone asked, "Team leader, what's the matter?"

Ye Feidao: "About Grover's algorithm, I will give you the main formula now."

"The main formula?" Everyone was shocked.

Someone asked: "Leader, have you deduced the main formula?"

The master formula is the most important part of the experiment, and they have been trying to derive it all this time.

It's just that the main formula is the most difficult part of the experiment. After so long, they only found a clue.

"Yeah!" Ye Fei said, "I have deduced it, and I will write it to you."

Ye Fei led his team members to conduct experiments, and they all liked to deduce the main formula and hand it over to their researchers.

In this way, their research speed will be much faster.

"Really?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

They couldn't believe that Ye Fei usually stayed with them and commuted to get off work together, and they didn't see Ye Fei working overtime.

The work they do seems to be similar to them.

But now Ye Fei actually told them that he had deduced the main formula.

This is too unbelievable.

Ye Fei said: "You are watching."

After speaking, he took out his pen and wrote down the main formula on the whiteboard.

[Grover's algorithm takes |0>|1> as output, and prepares a uniform superposition state...]

【G=(2|ψ><ψ|I)Uf...】

Ye Fei said: "This is the main formula, and you will rely on this main formula for research."

They looked at each other suspiciously.

Although Ye Fei wrote down the main formula, they still couldn't believe it.

After all, so many of them have not deduced the main formula, Ye Fei is only one person, and it took only one month to deduce it?

How can this be?

Someone asked: "Leader, is this master formula correct?"

Ye Fei glanced at the other party, and said: "You can check the calculation and you will know if it is right."

He knew it was surprising, but he had absorbed everyone's inspiration to derive the main formula in such a short time.

Then everyone checks.

After Ye Fei saw it, he went to the other four groups and wrote the main formula to them.

They naturally didn't believe it, and Ye Fei asked them to check the calculation to see if it was correct.

Three days later, everyone was shocked.

The master formula is correct.

Someone said in surprise: "How did the team leader manage to derive the main formula in such a short time? Could it be that he was studying cryptographic algorithms before."

"However, this is not logical!"

"The study of cryptographic algorithms, all of us only knew about it more than a month ago."

"It's impossible for the team leader to know in advance!"

Everyone nodded, indeed, it was impossible for Ye Fei to know in advance.

But if it is not known in advance, then the main formula is derived within this month.

But how could it be possible to derive the main formula in a month?

Everyone is puzzled!
"I heard that the team leader has deduced the main formula for other teams."

"The five main formulas were deduced in a month. Could it be that he was dreaming about the main formula?"

Someone said: "Maybe it's just a dream!"

Another human said: "Why don't we ask the team leader, how did he deduce the five main formulas in one month?"

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded and said, "Go and ask."

Afterwards, everyone found Ye Fei and asked him how he deduced the five main formulas within a month.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Actually, it is very simple to deduce the main formula in a short time."

Everyone looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes, expecting him to come up with a useful method.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Read more, think more, and read more literature."

There is no way, I just absorb everyone's inspiration and brainstorm, and then I can deduce it in a short time.

To put it bluntly, it's just hanging up.

When everyone heard this, the light in their eyes went out.

Who doesn't understand this truth, we do it every day!

But I didn't do it. Five main formulas were deduced in one month!
Lab next door!
"What?" Cheng Ji'an looked at the researcher beside him in surprise, and said, "Ye Fei deduced five main formulas in a month? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." The researcher said: "I didn't believe this news at first, but after inquiring about it later, it's true."

"How did he do it?" Cheng Ji'an asked in shock.

This is too awesome, he has never seen anyone who can deduce five main formulas in one month.

Even he, who has always been called a genius, couldn't do it.

Even when he was studying in North Li country, he met many people in the upper academic circle, but he had never heard of such a thing.

This is not science, it is metaphysics.

"I don't know!" The researcher shook his head blankly and said, "Professor Ye's researcher was also very puzzled, and even asked Professor Ye specifically, but Professor Ye didn't say anything."

"Is the master formula he derived correct?"

"is correct."

Cheng Ji'an took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said, "I see."

He felt that it was necessary for him to have a chat with Ye Fei.

Next day, office!

Ye Fei, Cheng Ji'an and Nan Guodong sat together.

Nan Guodong also knew about this, so the three of them sat together and wanted to talk about it.

Nan Guodong said: "I heard that you helped your researcher deduce five main formulas within a month. How did you do it?"

"Don't prevaricate me by saying that you read more and think more."

Ye Fei shook his head and smiled wryly: "Academician Nan, I really have no choice. It took me a month to work hard to deduce it."

"You don't want to talk about it!" Cheng Ji'an said.

Ye Fei said: "If I had a way, I would have said it long ago, why lie to you."

"Don't you just think about it, is there really a way to quickly derive mathematical formulas?"

"Math wouldn't be so difficult if it existed."

After hearing this, Nan Guodong and the two secretly nodded in their hearts.

True, there are no shortcuts in the world of science.

"Really not?" Cheng Ji'an said unwillingly.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "Really not!"

"Okay!" Cheng Ji'an said helplessly.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "How is your research team doing?"

Cheng Ji'an smiled bitterly and said, "We haven't even deduced one-tenth of the main formula. You can help your team deduce the main formula. When your team finishes researching, our team may not even finish one-third of the research."

"So, your team has to wait for our team."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, but does your group need help?"

Cheng Ji'an asked in surprise, "What help?"

Ye Fei said: "I can help your group deduce the main formula."

Cheng Ji'an's eyes lit up, and he said expectantly: "Is it possible?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task for me."

Cheng Ji'an nodded and said, "Okay, please."

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "It's okay, we're all colleagues. I'm not helping you, but reducing the country's burden. The sooner I can develop the encryption algorithm, the sooner I can help the country."

"Okay!" Nan Guodong said excitedly, "Well said."

So, one month later, Ye Fei helped Cheng Ji'an's team to deduce the main formula.

But the time quietly came to the Spring Festival, and Ye Fei made plans for his next schedule.

He needs to leave the Information Resources Research Center for a while and return to Zhonghu University.

Because the laser experiment in the laser laboratory of Zhonghu University has reached the final stage, he needs to go back and have a look.
