Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 649 Depressed Oval Office

  In the field of chip manufacturing, lithography machines are so famous that many people still don’t know what an etching machine is.

  The lithography machine is equivalent to copying the designed circuit diagram to the silicon wafer, and the etching machine then performs construction according to this diagram.

  The quality of the etching machine also determines the final process level of the chip.

   Now the situation is obvious.

  EUV has been developed, and the world is currently the only one. As another big leap in the process technology, what about the 10nm, 7nm or even 5nm process, what about the matching etching machine?

   So the Flint Group made this thing together? Is it still human?

   The most sensitive thing for these people is the stereolithography!

  3D flash memory is the result of three-dimensional chip!

  3D tri-gate transistors are also three-dimensional design.

   Now the quantum computer released by Flint Technology, how is its quantum gate designed?

  These things must be in the same line, right?

  If this is the case, won’t the global ICT industry have to look at the faces of the Flint Group and Huaguo?

   The team that followed Ma Jiahui to visit naturally also had people in the field of intelligence.

   The information was sent back to Howard for the first time, and Diane knew it.

  Quantum computer! EUV lithography machine and the same level of stereo etching machine!

  The traditional core technology of chip architecture has been surpassed!

   The next-generation computing architecture, Huaguo took the lead in breaking through!

   "Madam, it's not just an industry issue now! Security! Security in too many fields is now facing a fatal threat! If the other party uses quantum computing, our encryption system is simply defenseless!"

   The special scientific advisor looked a little crazy, which made Diane frown tightly and feel irritable.

   After his introduction, the situation is now clear.

   The danger has not yet come, but the threat is real.

  At present, almost all information security relies on asymmetric public key encryption based on the RSA algorithm.

  This algorithm, using the existing computing architecture, is almost impossible to crack. In the high-density security field, 2048 or even 4096-bit RSA encryption is commonly used.

   This level of encryption cannot be broken even by the most powerful supercomputer in the world.

   But a quantum computer is different, it is very good at precisely the RSA algorithm.

Although the "prototype" of 100 qubits is only announced now... Diane remembered the word "prototype" that the scientific consultant was madly mourning just now. It is 100 qubits, and it is still called a prototype?... But who knows how high Huaguo has mastered it now Hierarchical quantum computing technology?

   Once the number of qubits reaches thousands, cracking RSA is really easy.

  The cracking algorithm Shor, which is very effective for the RSA algorithm, has long been available. In theory, it is a matter of minutes for a 2000-qubit quantum computer to crack the current RSA encryption system.

   And now, what are the areas of security systems that do not use computers? The encryption algorithm of all Internet devices is RSA!

   "...Is there a solution?" Diane felt very tired, and she knew that it was impossible to break the quantum computer in a short time. To reconstruct the field of algorithm security, it is a huge problem after a little thought.

   "It's too hard...it's too hard...alternative algorithms exist, but...the scope involved is too broad. I bet that before we can replace the security algorithm, Huaguo's quantum computer will break through the critical point!"

  Diane looked at him disapprovingly, bet, bet! Give solution!

"Ma'am, it is meaningless to increase the number of bits of the RSA algorithm. Other symmetric algorithms or asymmetric algorithms are too passive solutions. The top priority is to develop a new security framework at the international level to limit the quantum computer's ability in this regard. Development and threat, is to urgently begin to formulate cryptographic standards for the post-quantum era!"

   "Is there any preliminary research?" Diane knew about setting standards, and this would definitely start a pressure test.

The scientific advisor was a little excited: "Yes! Some people have foreseen this in the early years, and have done some cryptographic algorithm research that can resist quantum computer attacks. For example, McEliece encryption, Merkle hash signature, etc. But until today, quantum computers have The threat of algorithms has not yet emerged, so the research enthusiasm and support are very small. Now, we need to restart these research immediately, and start collecting cryptographic algorithm solutions in the post-quantum era on a large scale!”

   "This is up to you to arrange the organization, start immediately!"

   The scientific advisor raised his brows and looked happy. He continued: "In addition, quantum computer research must also keep up. We can't just upgrade our shields, spears, it's the most fundamental!"

  Diane couldn't help kneading her forehead: "Artificial intelligence... Now it's a quantum computer... Why are our scientists and businesses suddenly being left behind!"

   She knew very well that this was a new round of huge investment.

   The problem is, what is lacking most now is money!

  The scientific advisor was silenced by a sentence, feeling extremely helpless.

   It's not that we are too stupid, but the other party has Gu Song!

   This man...how can he have such endless creativity?

At the   Lihu Conference, Gu Song was still talking on the stage, introducing the EUV lithography machine. Diane made some arrangements and immediately went to the Oval Office.

   In the room, enough big people have gathered.

  Everyone's faces are heavy, Mabao, Howard, Paulson, and the Secretary of Defense...

"Gentlemen, the situation is too serious. Quantum computers are spears, and quantum communication is a shield. I don't believe that Hua Guo has shown all the spears, and there will be no research on shields. Now, how do we put pressure on quantum computers not to Internationally regulated development?"

  As soon as Diane entered the door, she spoke in an aggressive tone.

  Howard echoed: "In consideration of world security, such key technologies should be made public, and the world will jointly formulate a technology development roadmap!"

   Paulson said helplessly: "It's pointless to say this. Let's discuss specific pressure methods."

   The Minister of Defense said: "The fleet needs to go, I have ordered it. Do you need to arrange an exercise?"

Diane had already thought a lot on the way here, and said at this time: "Involving the interests of many countries, all countries and major international organizations need to stand up and appeal. The economic and trade fields also need to respond to let China Hehua Guo Enterprises feel the pressure. Especially...Flint Group!"

   "Media..."

  “Academia…”

  Mabao was deeply tired after listening to the whole room of people talking to each other. As soon as he took office, he was faced with a financial crisis and internal unease.

   Externally, the withdrawal of troops from the Gulf has just been ordered, and the strategy for China is still being discussed, and suddenly there is a situation that has to be dealt with.

"Let Mr. Ma Jiahui be my special envoy first, and start a high-level dialogue immediately. I also need to exchange opinions with their leaders. Your proposals will be implemented simultaneously. Mrs. Diane, arrange a time, and then go there to visit a Go. This time, add Bay Island to the itinerary. I need to go to Europe."

  The discussion was over, and the huge country immediately began to act.

   Walking out of this white building, Paulson felt that the sunlight outside seemed a little depressing, and he couldn't help but think of the young man he saw in Yanjing, China in the midsummer last year.

  The driver saw him meditating on the side of the road and shouted, "Mr. Paulson, where are we going?"

   "Go to Mr. Harold's Manor!"
