Spark

After receiving Pan Qingwei's call, Chen Nian immediately found the report he was talking about.

The report was released just one day ago, and the content was relatively brief, but it also basically explained the other party's speculation on the formation principle of the magnetic ripple field.

According to the content of the report, the U.S. speculation is based on the latest data from the joint experiment of the Livermore Laboratory, DIII-D, and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. In terms of credibility, there should be no major problems.

But Chen Nian felt something was wrong the more he looked at it.

The reason is simple, he could not find any loopholes in this article.

It is like a perfect sculpture that has been carefully carved, and every part reveals professionalism and logic.

But the strange thing is that the conclusion of this thing is different from what I predicted, and even the result of the experiment of the HT-7 device in 2009.

Chen Nian found the article in 2009, which clearly recorded the experimental results on the resonance of escaped electrons and magnetic field ripples, and also explained the relationship between the ring voltage and the high-order harmonic resonance of escaped electrons and magnetic field ripples.

According to the speculation in this article, if the high-energy X-ray monitoring system can be set up in a specific way, and the ring voltage can be adjusted in a pulsed manner by monitoring the energy of the plasma core, it is possible to use the magnetic field ripple resonance effect to a certain extent to prevent escape Electron energy is confined to a lower level, reducing the first wall pressure.

The biggest problem they face is actually the matching algorithm of the pulse-regulated voltage-this is also the problem that Chen Nian's Huorong team is trying to solve.

But in contrast to the conclusions of the United States, although they also believe that among the factors affecting the magnetic ripple field, the ring voltage plays an important role in the generation of the magnetic ripple field, but in the experimental conclusion, they found that the resonance relationship between the voltage intensity and the different harmonics of the magnetic field is not There is no strong association.

Whether it is a low-order harmonic or a high-order harmonic, the resonance caused by the ring voltage is biased towards disorder.

This basically overturned Huaxia's conclusion—or at least to some extent, it picked out Huaxia's loopholes.

Sitting in the office, Chen Nian frowned and read the US report.

In fact, it doesn't really make much sense.

Under the premise that you can't get the other party's first-hand experimental data, what can you tell by just reading the empty words?

No matter whether the other party is falsified or there are problems in the experimental process that lead to wrong conclusions, you can't refute it.

Unless, you can create a plasma experimental device of the same level as them.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian reluctantly closed the computer again.

What can be done?

Let's hold a meeting with the Huorong team first.

So, when the time was close to nine o'clock, all members of the team got together again and began to discuss the US report.

This scene cannot be said to be weird, but it is somewhat nonsensical.

The first thing that Pan Qingwei said was that his expression was quite relaxed. Unlike the doubts shown on the phone, he seemed to have figured it out.

"...In any case, I still believe in our own conclusions."

"From data collection, to experimentation, to conclusion output, I dare say we have not made any mistakes."

"And, our conclusion has also been verified by many parties."

"Then the answer is simple, since we didn't make a mistake, they did."

Hearing his words, Chen Nian couldn't help feeling dumbfounded.

How much confidence do you have to say that?

I'm sure I'm right, so you must be the one who's wrong?

It sounded like some kind of green tea that he was familiar with in his previous life spoke.

But the problem is, it seems very reasonable to put it in this field.

After all, in the field of plasma control, even up to now, there has not been an "axiom"-style standard conclusion. Everyone is exploring, and the scale and number of credible experiments are limited. Random disturbance, so it really cannot be said that whoever is right or wrong must be right or wrong.

The direction is different, the focus is different, and no one can convince anyone.

"But the problem is that the reaction caused by the other party in the academic circle is quite big this time, and they also announced a series of follow-up experimental plans, which also showed an open attitude."

"ITER spoke highly of their conclusions this time, and believed that they have largely promoted the development of plasma control theory."

"Even now I've heard people say that if Livermore continues to make breakthroughs, the first wall will be resolved quickly."

"In short, if we don't follow up, we may lose a considerable part of the support from ITER, and some experts will doubt us."

"This is extremely detrimental to the progress of the EAST project."

It was Li Min who spoke, and compared to Pan Qingwei, he was a bit worried.

After all, he is still young, and his emotions are easier to express on his face.

Still, the problems he speaks of do exist and, arguably, seem to some quite urgent.

However, Chen Nian was not too worried about this.

Do you think our technical route is wrong?

I don't want to play with you yet.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Nian said:

"The resources of the EAST project mainly come from Spark, and the basic theory mainly comes from ourselves."

"Yes, we may indeed face the absence of ITER support in the future, but generally speaking, the impact on us will not be too great."

"As for the issue of superior support, there is no need to worry - what we get is 100% support, and it is impossible to change just because of their little trouble."

"Compared to this, I am more worried about the impact of this matter on our bottom-level stability."

After a short pause, Chen Nian continued:

"It's obviously a kind of behavior for them to fight in the ring."

"We don't have to care, but we have to accept the move."

"Over there at EAST, how is the latest experimental device going?"

Hearing this, Pan Qingwei quickly replied:

"It has entered the final stage, and the first experiment can be launched within the next month at most."

"However, the scale of the experimental device is relatively small and can only be used as a reference for the subsequent construction of superconducting coils."

"It's hard to say how convincing the conclusions drawn from this device are."

"It's okay, we don't need to convince others."

Chen Nian shook his head.

"We just have to validate what we need."

"In any case, in terms of plasma control, we must speed up."

"After the results come out, all problems will be solved."

"Everyone, the intensity is coming up, everyone, get ready to work overtime."

"clear."

Everyone in the office replied together.

No one wants to work so hard, but the things they carry give them endless motivation

At the same time, in the corner office.

Bob looked at the latest report, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"So what are these people doing? Mobilizing so many resources and concocting a false report, do they really think that the Huaxia people are fools?"

The assistant on the opposite side shook his head with a smile and replied:

"Probably a little fun for the researchers—however, it didn't cost much resources, just some adjustments in their routine experiments."

"Also, this is not something we need to care about. Now that Congress has approved their plan, let them toss."

"I just can't stand them wasting resources that should be in more important places."

Bob's tone was a little disdainful, but after thinking about it, he suppressed his idea of ​​protesting to Congress.

After all, he had already made a mistake once.

If it wasn't for my distrust of the May Club at the beginning, if it wasn't for the suppression from the corner tower, maybe the opponent would have a chance to win the winning goal.

In short, in this magical era where the situation is changing so quickly, I really should abandon the overly conservative concept and embrace some changes.

So what?

Maybe, some seemingly absurd strategies will really cause unexpected effects.

Thinking of this, he dropped the report in his hand, leaned back on the chair, thought for a while, and said:

"In any case, this can only be regarded as a small attempt."

"It doesn't fundamentally change the situation of the confrontation, and it's hard to bridge the gap between us and them."

"We always have to continue to find other breakthroughs. The early operations are very smooth. We have obtained the information of Xinghuo, but what should we do next?"

"Continue to continue the established strategy to identify the core personnel, try to destroy this organization, or find out their secrets?"

"This cannot be our core work, after all, the speed at which it takes effect is too slow."

Hearing Bob's words, the assistant nodded helplessly.

"It's true that information doesn't directly become a weapon unless it works with existing weapons."

"Our overall strategic direction is very clear, either to slow down the speed of their technological development, or to increase our own speed."

"But at this stage, we don't have a solid strategy to use in either direction."

"War is absolutely impossible to be accepted, but often only war can bring technological progress. This is like a paradox, which cannot be broken. It can only make us deeply trapped and unable to break free."

"Now, the domestic wind direction has changed a lot."

"There are fewer and fewer voices advocating confrontation, and more and more voices for cooperation, but they may not understand that there can be no lasting peace between two great powers."

"Sooner or later, we will decide the outcome. Instead of indulging in false peace, we should start now and get ready."

Hearing his words, Bob nodded deeply.

What he admires most about his assistant is that the other party has the same vision as himself.

And, unlike those hypocritical politicians, he never bothered to hide his ambitions, nor would he hide his positive attitude towards the war.

Or to put it another way, he firmly believes that war is the ultimate means of solving problems, and firmly believes that the essence of human civilization is driven by confrontation.

——

But the irony is that, as a staunch supporter of this point of view, as a person who does have control over the war machine, he has lost the means of confrontation.

Bob took a deep breath, and then said:

"The strategy we gave Congress, did they adopt it?"

The assistant nodded slightly and replied:

"There is no news yet, but according to the feedback from peripheral personnel, the probability of passing is very high."

"This time our strategy is very bold and advanced. Experts in related fields are not particularly optimistic about this direction."

"The reason is simple. The computing power we currently have at our disposal is still too scarce compared to the computing power required for decoding."

"According to preliminary estimates, if the exhaustive method is used, even if it is only to decrypt the simplest RSA encrypted message, it will need to mobilize all the computing power to run continuously for more than 40 years."

"If we want to achieve full decryption, quantum computing is our only way out."

"Over at Microsoft Labs, we have made initial progress, but we still have to invest a lot of resources in order to reach a practical usable level."

"Maybe it will take a few years, maybe ten years."

"That's better than doing nothing."

Bob said in a deep voice.

"In addition, China's entire command system does not all use RSA encryption. According to intelligence, some of their organizations are still using SHA-1 algorithm encryption just like us."

"Also, even if they use RSA, they don't all use more than 2048-bit encryption, and our chances are still very good."

"Of course, if the progress of quantum computing can meet expectations, then we don't have to consider all these issues."

"Yes, but difficult."

the assistant replied.

How can it not be difficult?

What does the RSA algorithm mean to humans?

This algorithm based on the decomposition of large numbers can be said to be the safest algorithm born in human history so far.

It relies on the decomposition of large numbers, but it is not completely equal to the decomposition of large numbers. In the decades after its birth, countless people have tried to attack and crack it, but no one has been able to succeed.

It can be said that if this algorithm can be overcome, it will definitely not only be a great achievement in the history of military intelligence, but also a major breakthrough in the field of pure mathematics.

This is completely different from SHA-1.

After all, this thing was completely broken in 2005 by using differential attack, approximate collision and multi-block collision techniques.

So far, the cracking method of SHA-1 has been able to complete the cracking within 2 computational complexity, and the reliability of the SHA-1 algorithm has dropped sharply.

But RSA?

Still rock solid.

However, our side had to make such an attempt.

Because after being forced to enter the field of asymmetric strategy, this has become the field where one's own side has the greatest advantage and is most likely to come back.

Thinking of this, the assistant said:

"In any case, I will continue to push the associated people to persuade them to support our proposal."

"But at the same time, I think we should show more sincerity."

"Under the premise that the danger of war is not so urgent, some adjustments should be made to military spending next year."

"We don't need new ships anymore - we need technology that will kill the game completely."

"clear."

Bob nodded solemnly, expressing his attitude.

He has made a decision in his mind that by 2011, the military must suspend a number of non-essential new equipment manufacturing projects.

The resources saved in these projects will all be invested in quantum computing and RSA cracking projects.

Once successful, all the advantages of Huaxia will be gone.

Huaxia will not have any awareness of this
