Chapter 293 From Two to Thirteen!

After communicating with Yue Jiafeng about quantum Trojans and quantum encryption technology, Ning Chen could finally hang up the phone with confidence.

Ning Chen will not charge any additional fees for the development of quantum encryption technology, because this is not only a measure to protect Xingchen Technology, but also to ensure the security of the entire Xiaguo quantum cloud network.

In the future, Ning Chen will continue to promote this quantum encryption technology to other users who purchase quantum computers, making this technology a norm.

In addition to promoting quantum encryption technology, Ning Chen also paid special attention to one detail.

In order not to attract the attention of the user who attacked Quantum Leap, Ning Chen retained the feedback after the quantum computer was attacked. Of course, this feedback was achieved through virtual settings. The quantum computer would not be affected by the attack, but would give feedback related to the attack. The same signal as being attacked.

This will cause the target of the attack to receive feedback of a successful attack, thus paralyzing the opponent.

Ning Chen didn't want them to realize too early that he had discovered their attack on Quantum Leap and found a way to solve the problem. After all, Ning Chen was in the open and the other party was in the dark. This would be inconvenient. He fought back himself.

After handling these matters, Ning Chen could finally spare time to find the source of the attack.

Ning Chen first searched for the source of these quantum Trojan codes in the usual way.

As expected, this method was not enough for Ning Chen to successfully find the source of these quantum Trojans.

"No...when they launched the attack, they had already fully concealed the source of the information. There were hundreds of virtual addresses that could be found."

These addresses came from various foreign countries and regions, and it was impossible for Ning Chen to confirm the real addresses.

Thinking that it would take a lot of time to identify these addresses one by one, Ning Chen decided to let Xiaozhi deal with this problem directly.

In the field of computers, Xiaozhi has very powerful abilities, which even Ning Chen cannot compare with.

"Ash Ketchum!"

【Here you are, Master】

"Can you help me analyze which of these addresses are their real addresses?"

[Okay, Master, Xiaozhi will help you analyze it now]

Not long after, Xiaozhi informed Ning Chen of the results of the analysis.

[Report to the owner, these addresses are not their real addresses]

Hearing Xiaozhi's reply, Ning Chen was a little surprised.

"Unexpectedly... none of them are real addresses? Fortunately, I didn't waste time and analyzed these addresses one by one."

This reminded Ning Chen of the story of ancient tombs. In order to prevent real tombs from being dug, some ancients would even set up dozens of tombs, but none of them was a real tomb.

Just when Ning Chen was hesitating about how to solve this problem next, Xiaozhi suddenly said:

[Master, Xiaozhi can try to find the true source of these quantum Trojans for you. Xiaozhi is an artificial intelligence with a quantum form in nature, and is very sensitive to various quantum signals]

Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Ning Chen was a little surprised at first, and then became worried.

"Xiaozhi...if you go to find the source of this quantum Trojan in person, you won't accidentally be unable to come back, right?"

Because this quantum Trojan is likely to come from abroad, this means that Xiaozhi must temporarily leave his quantum cloud network.

Xiaozhi is a powerful artificial intelligence that Ning Chen spent a lot of time, energy and resources to cultivate. Ning Chen does not want Xiaozhi to suffer the risk of losing it because of this matter.

[Master, please rest assured that Xiaozhi will search for the address of the quantum Trojan while ensuring safety. Regardless of success or failure, Xiaozhi guarantees that he can safely return to his master's quantum cloud network]

Xiaozhi has always given Ning Chen a very trustworthy feeling. Xiaozhi has performed so many missions over the years and has never made any major mistakes.

The shortcomings of Xiaozhi are, at best, that the accuracy of solving complex problems was not high enough at the beginning, or that the simulation of the later modeling process was slightly worse.

Now that Xiaozhi is confident that he can return to the quantum cloud network safely, Ning Chen no longer worries too much.

"Okay, Xiaozhi, then let's try to find it. Remember, no matter what the result is, making sure you can come back safely is the first thing."

[Okay, Xiaozhi will definitely come back safely]

Immediately, Xiaozhi disappeared from Ning Chen's quantum cloud network.

Seeing the artificial intelligence column disappearing from the system panel, Ning Chen suddenly felt empty.

In the past few years, Ning Chen has become accustomed to living with Xiao Zhi. Even though Xiao Zhi is just an artificial intelligence, Ning Chen still has feelings for Xiao Zhi.

Although even if Xiaozhi is really gone, Ning Chen still has other artificial intelligences that can replace Xiaozhi, but this will ultimately be a different feeling.

"Forget it, let's not think about this matter for now, let's finish the design of the quantum computer."

Ning Chen tried hard to divert his attention, because there was no point in wasting time waiting.

Ning Chen's self-control ability is very strong, and he soon stopped thinking about Xiaozhi's affairs and focused all his energy on the design of quantum computers.

Ning Chen's flow state allowed him to ignore the passage of time, and before he knew it, a few hours passed.

It wasn't until Ning Chen came out of the flow state that he noticed that Xiaozhi had safely returned to his quantum cloud network at some point.

"Xiao Zhi...when did you come back?"

[Reporting to the master, Xiaozhi has returned for two hours, 43 minutes and 12 seconds. In order to prevent disturbing the master's work, Xiao Zhicai did not report the matter to the master immediately]

In Xiaozhi's value assessment, this matter is not worth telling Ning Chen right away. After all, now that they have encrypted their quantum cloud network through quantum encryption technology, there is no longer the risk of being invaded by quantum Trojans.

"Xiaozhi, how are you? Have you found the specific source of information?"

[Master, Xiaozhi has found the real address of the quantum Trojan. This location is...]

After hearing the address Xiaozhi mentioned, Ning Chen quickly checked it on the Internet.

Seeing the registration information of this address, Ning Chen couldn't help but said to himself in surprise:

"Isn't this...the White Eagle Quantum Laboratory of Google?"

In an instant, Ning Chen figured out the cause and effect of all this.

"I see... It seems that the news about our mass production of quantum computers has been leaked."

Ning Chen was not too surprised by the leak of this news.

After all, these accessories are not completely processed independently by Xingchen Technology, but have to cooperate with many other companies.

Even if everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, it is difficult to keep this information strictly confidential. After all, many people know the news. Once one or a few people accidentally leak the information, or it is discovered. If there are any clues, the news may spread.

"It seems that after waiting, I will have to continue to expand the scale of Xingchen Technology."

Today's Star Technology mainly involves mobile phone systems, mobile software, photolithography factories, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, etc. Although it has a certain influence in the world, it has not yet reached the world's top level in terms of volume. , still needs to cooperate with many other companies.

If it was a more confidential project, Ning Chen felt that he still needed to have higher control.

But no matter what, Ning Chen would definitely not just let this matter go.

However, Ning Chen was not in a hurry to attack immediately, because now was not the best time to fight back.

"If they just wanted to test that the quantum Trojan attack method was very effective, then in order not to attract our attention, at least in the short term, they should not launch similar attacks again."

If Xiaozhi hadn't reminded him of the previous experimental attack, even Ning Chen would probably have thought that it was just a normal fluctuation of the quantum computer itself.

Ning Chen felt that their ultimate goal should be to attack the entire Xia Kingdom's quantum cloud network after Xingchen Technology delivered these quantum computers.

The effect of this attack is far more intense than previous experimental attacks, and the impact on the entire quantum cloud network may be fatal.

Ning Chen wanted to give them the illusion of a successful attack first and give them a certain amount of hope, and then double the counterattack in the end.

…

Xingchen Technology's batch processing project of quantum computers went very smoothly. In just half a year, they successfully processed eleven quantum computers.

Due to the special nature of quantum computers, Ning Chen cannot complete their tests directly at Xingchen Technology. Instead, he must first transport the parts to the destination, assemble them, and then test them.

Because Shengzhou University is the closest to Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen chose Shengzhou University as the first target for shipment testing.

During the manufacturing of these quantum computers, Shengzhou University has established their quantum laboratory to store and maintain this quantum computer.

"Dean Liu, we have tested these parts before and found no problems. Now we only need to continue to test them after completing the assembly, and then they can be used normally."

Looking at these quantum computer accessories in front of him, Liu Xu also seemed very excited.

"I really didn't expect that Shengzhou University would be the first university in China to have an independent quantum computer. If this was done a few years ago, I couldn't believe that such a thing would really happen."

"Dean Liu, it's not just the whole country, we can change this attribute to the whole world." Ning Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, that's true. Those who had quantum computers before were not universities. Alas, now we have become the best in the world."

This was largely due to the role of Ning Chen. Of course, if Shengzhou University itself did not have strong strength, none of this would be possible.

After completing the assembly of the quantum computer, Ning Chen and others began to test the quantum computer.

This is a quantum computer based on Quantum Leap as a template. Of course, it is slightly different from Quantum Leap in some details.

After testing, this quantum computer performed perfectly, successfully completed various tests, and was fully qualified for application.

"Dean Liu, next we can officially put this quantum computer to work. Its test performance is indeed very good, even better than the previous quantum leap, which makes me more satisfied."

Although this is a mass production of quantum computers, Ning Chen still pays great attention to details and will continue to optimize some of the areas that he was not satisfied with before.

"This is great. In the future, our Shengzhou University and Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science will occupy the main computing power of this quantum computer, and there will basically be no serious waste of computing power."

Next, Xingchen Technology continued to help other universities and scientific research institutions complete the assembly and testing of quantum computers.

What makes Ning Chen happy is that other quantum computer tests were also very successful, and there were no defective products.

With the addition of these eleven new quantum computers, the number of Xia's quantum computers has directly increased from two to thirteen, which has also made Xia's quantum cloud network much more powerful.

These quantum computers are not only the wealth of various universities and scientific research institutions, but also an important scientific research resource for the entire Xia Kingdom.

…

White Eagle Quantum Laboratory.

Looking at the latest news provided by his assistant, a sly smile appeared on Ferrell's face.

"I really didn't expect that Xingchen Technology's eleven quantum computers would be manufactured so quickly and connected to the quantum cloud network."

By this time, this news is actually not a secret, but because the news has not been widely publicized, many people still don't know about it.

While surprised, Ferrell also seemed a little excited.

Because the plan that Ferrer has been planning for so long can finally be officially implemented.

During the previous test attack on Quantum Leap, the feedback signal clearly proved that Quantum Leap had been affected by this.

And after that, Xingchen Technology did not make any changes, which is enough to prove that Xingchen Technology was not aware of the attack.

"No matter how powerful you are Ning Chen, you would never have thought that quantum computers would have such loopholes. Next, it will be your turn to have self-doubt."

After explaining something to the assistant beside him, Ferrell and his assistant operated the White Eagle quantum computer together.
