Chapter 279 Foreign countries are in a complete panic
China's research in the field of drones has always been at the forefront of the world since the advent of the Wing Loong drone.

Even the development of civilian drones has reached new heights.

Occupies a large share in the international market.

Many netizens buy drones for aerial photography, so they are very familiar with the situation.

The biggest problem is that it is susceptible to external interference and can be easily shot down by special equipment.

As long as this hidden danger exists, it cannot completely replace stealth fighters and stealth strategic bombers. So when everyone sees the official report and finds that the new flying wing structure aircraft photographed is actually a stealth unmanned bomber, they will inevitably feel disappointed and regretful.

After all, the country can solve the semiconductor dilemma, but it cannot surpass the overseas ghost stealth strategic bomber.

But someone noticed that this drone was equipped with quantum communication.

Able to ignore signal interference and interception.

The situation soon turned around, and netizens only then realized what this technology meant.

You can see everyone’s excited comments in the comment section of related reports.

"I remember that Professor Xu had developed a quantum communication system before. It was originally prepared for today. Quantum communication is equipped with advanced drones. Wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger and make it invincible?"

"Everyone, take a good look. This stealth unmanned bomber has a smaller radar reflection area than the overseas Spirit strategic bomber."

"With such amazing stealth performance, the cost is only tens of millions. With quantum communication, it is definitely better than the overseas Ghost."

"I was a little disappointed that it was just an unmanned bomber, but I didn't expect there would be such a big surprise."

"I actually thought of combining quantum communication with drones. This will greatly improve the combat performance of drones."

"I always thought the Wing Loong drone was powerful enough, but I didn't expect the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute to have another big trick up its sleeve."

"If a whole fleet of stealth drone bombers using quantum communications were to carry out a mission deep inside enemy territory, I can't even imagine what would happen."

"The most important thing is, isn't it that this thing is cheap to make and there's no fear of damage at all?"

"Only Academician Xu could have done such a big thing. With quantum communication, quantum computers are almost here. I hope I can use a real quantum network in my lifetime."

"I heard that this stealth unmanned bomber has been developed a long time ago, but it has not been announced to the public because quantum communication has not been solved. I can only say that it is really hidden. I can't imagine how many good things we have."

……

The popularity of the quantum stealth unmanned bomber is foreseeable and not surprising.

The related reports and video footage quickly spread overseas.

On the external network, users discuss the Ghost Strategic Bomber the most because of its uniqueness.

Coupled with the sci-fi wing-like shape, its charm is irresistible to men.

It is even called alien technology by many people.

After all, apart from the Ghost stealth strategic bomber, there is no other similar bomber in the world, and it is shrouded in mystery.

Therefore, when a stealth unmanned bomber with stronger stealth performance and more sci-fi color suddenly appeared, the popularity it would bring can be imagined, and the related video playback quickly exceeded 10 million.

As for overseas users in the comment section, they were not sure whether to believe it.

The speeches were full of shock and bewilderment.

"Oh my god, the Chinese must have obtained alien technology. It's hard to imagine that they can build such a beautiful bomber."

“The video must be fake.”

"Oh my God, what on earth did I see? There is actually a stealth machine in the world that is more powerful than the Ghost, and it only costs tens of millions to manufacture one."

“The ghost myth has been busted.”

"It seems to be better looking than the ghost."

"They actually developed quantum communication technology and applied it to drones."

“I’m thankful that this technology is in civilized hands.”

Later, when someone pointed out that it was Xu Yuan who developed this technology, many people immediately calmed down.

No longer talk about alien technology.

It seems that as long as Xu Yuan participates in a project, it is normal no matter how awesome it is.

The first to bear the brunt of the popularity of the domestically-made quantum stealth unmanned bomber is naturally Northrop Grumman Corporation.

After all, the Ghost stealth strategic bomber is their product, but now it has fallen from the altar, the impact it has brought in all aspects is undoubtedly huge.

Especially because of the gallium nitride radar incident, Northrop Grumman's international status has declined.

The technology we possess is no longer world-leading.

Now even the most proud Ghost stealth strategic bomber has become an outdated product.

You can imagine how he felt.

at the same time.

In the president's office of the Northrop Military Building, Hughett stared at his subordinate Leon in front of him with wide eyes and questioned him again in complete disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"China has released a new stealth unmanned bomber, which even has better overall performance than our Spirit stealth strategic bomber."

"This joke is not funny at all."

Hugett's condition has just recovered a little during this period. After all, he put in so much effort and even lost the right to speak in the semiconductor industry, but in the end he didn't get any benefit at all. Anyone would feel depressed and find it hard to accept.

The military industry has been calm recently, so he can take a break.

But in the end, this kind of thing happened.

Seeing Leon suddenly running over in a hurry and saying such surprising words, his first reaction must be skepticism and disbelief.

What a joke.

The Ghost stealth strategic bomber has dominated the market for so many years, and there is still no rival that can compare to it.

Even they themselves would not send out Ghost stealth strategic bombers unless it was a special mission.

The main reason is that the maintenance cost each time is really too shocking.

Even they themselves can't afford it.

Under such a premise, he didn't believe that anyone could develop a stealth bomber more powerful than the Ghost.

You know, even for the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the other party can only find another way to solve it through the lithography factory, but there is obviously no other way to solve the problem for the stealth strategic bomber.

Leon faced his boss's questioning. To be honest, he was also shocked when he first saw the news.

Unexpectedly, after the other party took the lead in the radar field, they even did not let go of the stealth bombers.

The key point is that everyone knows that Xu Yuan had previously focused all his energy on the photolithography factory and high-end photoresist, and he should have no time to develop a stealth unmanned bomber.

But no matter how much you think about it, the facts are the facts.

There is no way to change this.

And he also confirmed the matter through channels, otherwise why would he rush over to report it.

Therefore, he did not delay at this time, and answered again truthfully the next second.

"The person who developed this stealth unmanned bomber is Xu Yuan. The radar reflection area of ​​their aircraft is less than 0.01 square meters, which is much smaller than our Ghost stealth strategic bomber. In addition, the aircraft's flight speed and low cost make its overall performance better than the Ghost."

When he saw this news, he made a comprehensive comparison of the data of the two aircraft.

The Ghost stealth strategic bomber has almost no obvious advantages except that it can carry more ammunition.

But with a cost of tens of millions, if the entire bomber fleet is deployed together, it is definitely not comparable to a Ghost stealth bomber.

Huget still trusted Leon and knew that the other party would not deceive him with such a thing.

Knowing that his own Ghost strategic bomber had been knocked off the altar and became a loser, Huget's anger level almost instantly reached full, and his face was as gloomy as it could be.

Then he slammed the table and couldn't help shouting:
"It's this Xu Yuan again. Can this guy split himself into two? Why can he be seen in every project?"

Leon remained silent and did not choose to speak at this time.

I was afraid that the boss's anger would be transferred to me.

After all, Hugett holds a high position, and after venting his anger briefly on the screen, he quickly calmed down.

After sitting back in the chair, my brain started to work quickly.

About ten seconds later, he raised his eyes again and started talking to himself.

"Although they maintain a technological lead in the field of drones, they chose to develop stealth drone bombers, probably because of the manufacturing cost of the aircraft. However, this is also their weakness."

As a lot of thoughts emerged in his mind, Huget calmed down completely and sneered slightly.

He admitted that the enemy's stealth unmanned bomber was very advanced, and it would definitely be a nightmare if they were encountered in large numbers on the battlefield.

But since it is a drone, no matter how powerful its performance is, it cannot avoid interference from external signals.

Faced with such advanced drones, how could they not be prepared?

His thoughts stayed here, and he immediately asked Leon another question.

"Leon."

"How is the research on drone jammers going?"

Yes.

As early as when the Wing Loong UAV came out, Northrop Grumman Corporation began to pay attention to the research of jamming equipment.

It ensures that when a drone enters the interference range, it will automatically make an emergency landing due to damage to the interference equipment, making it unable to perform its original performance.

In this way, no matter how powerful this stealth unmanned bomber is, there is no need to worry if it doesn't work.

Leon's expression was a little awkward at this time. Although he really wanted to tell his boss about quantum communication, he decided to answer the question first.

"The drone jammer project is progressing very smoothly. Once activated, it can make drones lose their signals over a wide range."

"very good."

"We will continue to increase our investment in R&D," Huget said with a smile. He was very satisfied with the result.

At this time, although Leon was reluctant to spoil his boss's mood, he still supplemented the stealth unmanned bomber after a little hesitation.

"boss."

"I'm afraid our jamming equipment will have little effect on this stealth unmanned bomber."

"What do you mean?" Huget was stunned when he heard this.

I was thinking, I just said that the development of the drone jamming equipment was going smoothly, how come it is useless now?

Fortunately, his doubts did not last long.

Leon did not keep him in suspense and explained in detail before he asked.

"That's right, boss. Their stealth unmanned bomber uses quantum communication."

"So the signal can't interfere with the interception."

Huget, who was still confident a second ago, instantly became dull when he heard these words.

It is hard to imagine that the other party has conquered quantum communication and applied it to drones. You should know that quantum communication and quantum computing are both important research directions for future development and are truly cutting-edge technologies.

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to him that he had indeed seen related reports in an article before.

It was the quantum direct communication system developed by Xu Yuan that successfully completed the experiment and broke the world record.

At that time, because this report had nothing to do with the lithography factory, he was too lazy to pay too much attention to it. Unexpectedly, quantum communication has been making progress since then.

"Quantum communication plus drones..."

Upon learning of the result, there was no more light in Huget's eyes, and he even felt completely hopeless.

After all, if drones equipped with quantum communication really come in groups, there is no other way to deal with them except to use physical attacks.

Even if they can destroy all the drones by then, the price they will have to pay will be very high.

It may even be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

no doubt.

Now he is really a little panicked.

Leon noticed the change in his boss's expression, and after a mental struggle, he couldn't help but tentatively express his concern.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Huget raised his head and said casually, "You go out first."

"Good boss."

Leon heard his boss's answer, nodded and left the office immediately.

And he closed the door on purpose.

When Hugett was the only one left in the office, he turned his gaze to the computer screen on the desk, and then manually checked the news reports and discussions about the stealth unmanned bomber on the Internet.

Finally, it can be basically confirmed that the more cost-effective stealth unmanned bomber has become the most advanced bomber in the world.

With his mind working quickly, he soon made another bold decision.

Quantum communication technology is too important. If the other party can cover quantum communication nationwide, it will be invincible in terms of information security.

Therefore, if we want to maintain the current international situation, quantum communication technology must not be monopolized by one party.

It has to be shared.

The previous sharing of gallium nitride radar technology was because they chose to use the semiconductor industry to exert pressure and even gave the other party a buffer period. However, not only did it not have any effect, it also enabled the other party to develop a lithography factory and high-end photoresist.

So much so that they are now in a passive position.

If we want to ensure that we can obtain quantum communication technology this time, we must learn from our lessons.

It is best to use force directly to create pressure and force the other party to compromise.

He didn't believe that the other side could withstand the pressure and maintain a tough attitude when the aircraft carrier fleet approached the coast.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to achieve this step by his own strength alone.

It will take some time and effort.

The thought stayed here, and the next second he took out his mobile phone, selected a number and dialed it.

"Councilor Gwen, I would like to see you."

……

……

Xu Yuan didn't know that overseas countries were already in a state of desperation because of quantum communication technology.

The impact that the quantum stealth unmanned bomber has had on the world is completely within expectations. I believe that in the future in the air field, whoever wants to compete will think carefully.

Otherwise, the end result will be like hitting a rock with an egg.

It is also worth mentioning that the National Science and Technology Awards Conference will be held next month.

This time, he led his team to develop a photolithography factory, successfully solving the difficulties faced by the country in high-end chip manufacturing. Such a contribution is bound to receive corresponding honors and awards.

So after returning to Yanjing, he had no plans to go on business trips to other places for the time being.

Moreover, after the research on quantum drones has achieved some results, all that remains is to build a quantum communication network.

This will take a long time.

Just leave everything to the Quantum Innovation Institute.

It’s the end of the month in a blink of an eye.

That day, Xu Yuan was in his study, reading some mathematics-related literature.

If there were other mathematicians present at this time, they would definitely be able to recognize it.

These documents are all related to the Riemann hypothesis.

Among the Millennium Prize problems, it is the one that mathematicians most hope to be proven.

The Riemann hypothesis has attracted a lot of attention both in the mathematical community and in society.

It is known as the first of the seven most difficult mathematical problems in the world.

Even up to now, there are more than a thousand mathematical propositions related to the Riemann hypothesis. If the Riemann hypothesis can be proved, then these more than a thousand propositions will be directly upgraded to theorems.

Made a vital contribution to the development of mathematics.

It has even been said that if mathematicians could make a deal with the devil, they would definitely choose to obtain the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

This shows the status of the Riemann hypothesis in the minds of mathematicians.

However, no one has been able to prove this conjecture about the zero-point distribution of the Riemann function since it was proposed in 1859.

Although in the past 100 years, many mathematicians have announced that they have completed the proof of the Riemann hypothesis, their proofs were soon overturned by others who pointed out the errors.

So until now, this conjecture remains an unresolved problem.

Since Xu Yuan proved the Hodge conjecture, it can be said that he has not been involved in research in the field of mathematics for some time.

Even the review work for the Journal of Mathematics was handed over to the editorial board when they were busy.

He even did not attend the ceremonies of the last two Xu Yuan Mathematics Awards.

The sudden attention paid to the Riemann hypothesis is not because of its practicality in other disciplines.

It can play a very valuable practical role in the fields of computer networks and physics, as well as biological neural network artificial intelligence.

The main Riemann hypothesis also involves quantum mechanics. With his research on quantum mechanics, especially the outstanding progress in the field of quantum communication, perhaps he can find a way to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Of course, he also understood that this was not an easy task, and it might even be more difficult than proving the Hodge conjecture before.

But he is a person who is not afraid of difficulties.

If there is hope, he will naturally not choose to give up.

At this moment, the sudden ringing of his cell phone interrupted his train of thought and forced him to break away from his deep learning state.

Although he frowned, he still picked up the phone and looked at the screen.

After finding out that it was a call from Bai Xinzhou, the president of the Academy of Sciences, he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"Hey Dean."

"Do you have time now, Xu Yuan? Can you come to the courtyard?"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the microphone, Xu Yuan thought about it and agreed.

Mainly based on his understanding of Bai Xinzhou, if it was not an important matter, the other party would not suddenly disturb him.

It just so happened that he was faced with literature related to the Riemann hypothesis, and he didn't have any clear direction for the time being, so he could just go outside for a walk to relax.

"Let's study it again when we get back."

After ending the call, Xu Yuan looked at the documents on the desk and murmured to himself, "I'll just sort them out."

So he notified his driver.

Then I said goodbye to my family and took a car to the main campus of the Academy of Sciences.

-

Xu Yuan was naturally familiar with Dean Bai Xinzhou's office.

Without the need for anyone to lead the way, he went straight upstairs after arriving in the courtyard.

He soon stopped at the door of the office. Xu Yuan clearly heard another voice speaking inside besides Bai Xinzhou, and the voice had a bit of a strange accent.

Of course, he didn't think much about it. He would know what the matter was once he met Bai Xinzhou.

The thought stayed here, and he didn't waste any more time. He immediately raised his hand and knocked on the office door.

The next second, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Please come in."

Xu Yuan pushed the door open and as his vision fell into the office, his eyes immediately locked on the foreign man.

I feel a vague sense of familiarity.

"Xu Yuan, you're here. Come over and sit down and talk." Bai Xinzhou noticed that the person who came was Xu Yuan, so he quickly stood up and greeted him warmly. He pointed to the foreign man next to him and said with a smile: "There is also this person who I don't need to introduce."

Almost as soon as Bai Xinzhou finished speaking, the foreign man hurriedly walked up to Xu Yuan.

While actively shaking hands, he appeared quite excited.

"Academician Xu."

"I'm Arpad, nice to see you again."

When Xu Yuan heard the other party's name, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

When the Wing Loong UAV was taken to an international air show, the outside world expressed doubts about the performance of the Wing Loong UAV because no orders for the UAV were placed.

In the end, it was Lu Dongming who brought Apad over and expressed the other party's intention to purchase Wing Loong UAVs.

Used to resolve disputes within one's own area.

The result was naturally no surprise. The Wing Loong UAV demonstrated outstanding combat capabilities on the battlefield. After the relevant video was posted online, it caused a huge sensation.

After all, in such a technologically backward battlefield, there is no most advanced drone jamming equipment.

The existence of pterosaurs is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Speaking of the subsequent optimization of Pterosaurs, it was also thanks to the other party providing relevant actual combat data.

It's just that the two hadn't seen each other for quite a long time, so they didn't recognize each other immediately.

As soon as the stealth unmanned bomber was unveiled to the world, Arpad took the initiative to come to him. Xu Yuan could guess what his purpose was, but he still asked him.

"Mr. Arpad, what are you planning to buy this time?"
