Chapter 259 Space-based Interception Concept Based on Infinite Defense

Pulling the whole world together...Okay, this is obviously a joke.

In fact, this is the same as retail investors speculating in stocks. Most of the countries in the world that are good at finance are developed countries.

So for the vast majority of countries, financial markets are not that important.

At least not as important as it is to Wall Street in the West.

But the person who said this must be serious about the threat in his tone. It doesn't matter if you spend money, but you must ensure absolute safety!

No capital is willing to let huge wealth be held in the hands of others. At least not at this time!
"Yes, tell the one living in the white house not to sleep. He needs to urgently summon the Chinese representative to express our attitude. We have already retreated too much, and this time we will not allow any compromise!"

Obviously this view is recognized by everyone.

Because today, it was rare that there was no quarrel in the conference room because someone expressed extreme opinions.

……

Huaxia, Yanbei University, International Center for Mathematical Research.

After seeing off the Character Leap team, Qiao Yu did not sit idle, but began to finalize the list of the project team.

All the data from this test has been sealed, and he doesn't need to write the report. Naturally, engineers from the Institute of Computing Technology and Chenlong Chaoyun will do the summary report.

It wasn't that Qiao Yu was lazy, it was mainly because he had already decided to announce the list of selected project teams in the afternoon. He couldn't delay this important matter just because of a live broadcast.

The current quantum simulation computing capabilities are not strong enough. Only with enough manpower can this technology continue to flourish.

Quantum computing technology that cannot impact the entire blockchain network is incomplete.

In fact, most of the candidates have already been determined.

For example, Zheng Zefeng is responsible for mathematics, Zhang Xiaoli is responsible for quantum physics theory support, and Luo Qixun is the engineer responsible for quantum algorithm support.

There are still two places left, and Qiao Yu is still a little undecided.

The problem is not who to choose, but the personnel allocation. The dilemma is whether to focus more on theory or application.

It would be easier to do theoretical exploration, but if you tend to focus on application, it would be much harder.

The global live broadcast test that just ended was proof of this. He had stayed up until five o'clock last night to prepare for the work.

If you really want to make an application in the future, you will have to do all kinds of testing, which makes me tired just thinking about it. But the good thing is that the application is definitely more valuable than just doing theory.

Qiao Yu didn't want to work so hard at such a young age. He finally achieved some results and should take some time off.

Especially when it comes to theory, he only needs to direct others to do the work. Submit some work every once in a while, and the next three to five years will be easy.

In this way, in three to five years, when he is in his twenties, it will be enough time for him to start struggling again.

He is already very successful. If you don't enjoy life while you are young, will you wait until you are old and can't eat or play to enjoy life?
Winter vacation is coming in a few months, and he is still in love. Although he is busy in high school, Xia Keke can always find time during the winter vacation.

Not to mention that Xia Keke will take the college entrance examination next year. After the college entrance examination, it is a foregone conclusion that she will go to Beijing to attend university.

Not to mention Xia Keke's own strength, based on his current strength, Xia Keke can completely choose between Yanbei and Huaqing schools.

Although Qiao Yu was unable to enjoy a complete college life, he felt that he could enjoy it with Coco, and it was the kind of enjoyment without the pressure of scientific research and academic studies.

Qiao Yu was still looking forward to the idea that they could travel around the capital city and eat there in the future.

But if you want to do scientific research, there are so many things to do every day, and it’s not that easy.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu casually drew another circle on the list.

It’s confirmed. With him, four professors studying mathematics and physics and an algorithm engineer make up the entire research team.

The list was scheduled to be announced at 2 p.m. At this moment, Zheng Xiwen walked into his office again with a gloomy face.

"Huh? Uncle Zheng, has someone offended you? Why do you have that expression?" Qiao Yu, who was the first to notice that Zheng Xiwen was not in a good state, asked immediately.

Reading people's expressions has been one of Qiao Yu's strongest abilities since he was young.

Not to mention that Zheng Xiwen had always controlled his emotions very well during the time he had been with Qiao Yu, and had never had any drastic emotional changes in front of Qiao Yu.

“No one has offended me, so who can offend me?”

Zheng Xiwen took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued, "But it is indeed a bit troublesome. The other side has issued a threat. If any technology threatens the financial security system of the United States, it may cause unlimited conflict!"

Qiao Yu tilted his head slightly, stared at Zheng Xiwen, and asked in surprise: "Unlimited conflict? Uh... do they mean to move that bad guy?"

Zheng Xiwen replied: "If they are not just threatening words, then this possibility cannot be ruled out. Maybe they are really anxious this time."

Well, really big fireworks.

"Haha, doesn't that just prove that we have touched the tiger's butt!" Qiao Yu said happily.

Although Qiao Yu's words clearly showed that he did not realize the seriousness of the problem, Zheng Xiwen still nodded in agreement.

In fact, I knew from the beginning that this was the other party’s pain point.

"So it can't be intercepted at all?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"What can't be intercepted?" Zheng Xiwen, who didn't follow Qiao Yu's train of thought, asked subconsciously.

"That's the one they have..." Qiao Yu gestured and drew the outline of a long cone.

Zheng Xiwen smiled bitterly and replied, "Of course we can stop it, but who dares to say that they are 100% sure of stopping it?"

"Tsk tsk, so that's it! So we still have to be able to intercept 100%! Otherwise, this world will be too dangerous!" Qiao Yu looked at the list he had just decided with some regret. Suddenly he realized that he probably couldn't be lazy anymore.

If you want to fall in love, you must at least have a safe environment.

He didn't want to live a life of fear while enjoying his youth when he met a rogue opponent who was always thinking of turning the table over when he couldn't win.

"This is too difficult. If we want to have no losses at all, I think it will not be achieved within ten years at least." Zheng Xiwen said, shaking his head slightly.

"Based on what I've learned about China's industrial strength since I joined the moon landing project, it's not as difficult as you say, right? It shouldn't take as long as ten years, right?"

"Oh? What do you think?" Zheng Xiwen asked with a frown.

"In fact, interception technology is very mature now. It is mainly a question of response time. There are many related studies that can be used in the moon landing program.

China's aerospace industry has more than one moon landing plan. If it really doesn't work, the moon landing plan can be put on hold. Realizing a planetary-level active defense system is more realistic than moon landing."

Zheng Xiwen took a deep breath and repeated, "Planetary-level active defense system? Can you explain it in detail?"

If someone else said this term, he would think it was probably just a random comment. After all, this was in the capital.

But if it was said by Qiao Yu, he suddenly wanted to hear it.

“It sounds impressive, but it’s actually very simple. It’s a space-based laser interception system consisting of a quantum protocol communication satellite and a high-energy laser.

The goal is to achieve all-weather global coverage. Through the entire system, the entire earth can be monitored without blind spots, and it has multi-target processing capabilities to actively intercept any ballistic missiles that enter the sky.

Of course, to achieve this, we need millisecond-level response and anti-interference capabilities. Before, quantum technology was not mature, so it might be difficult to achieve this, but now we have almost the same ability. Wait, let me calculate it..."

Qiao Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, so he turned on his computer, called up the software, connected directly to the supercomputer and started calculating.

Now he has a lot of supercomputing resources at his disposal.

He has an account at Yanbei University's supercomputing center that he can use for free at any time. Huaxia Chenlong Super Cloud also provides him with an account that can be used for an unlimited time, and his own Xiyu Technology also has a small computer room...

This kind of calculation does not require much effort, and the results came out quickly.

“Look, it doesn’t take a lot. To do this, with a three-layer hybrid orbit design, only 116 satellites are needed.

Among them, 88 satellites are needed in low-Earth orbit. These satellites will probably need to be equipped with 200KW-class free electron lasers. They can be designed in a modular way and their power can be upgraded through in-orbit assembly technology in space.

The good news is that the technology is already available for this lunar mission. Twenty satellites are needed to form a network in medium earth orbit, and the last eight satellites are deployed in geosynchronous orbit to monitor the global sky.

Laser transmitters can achieve 100 percent effective interception through multi-wavelength collaborative technology, destroying the outer shell with ultraviolet light and directly heating the fuel tank with infrared.

Perfect, look, we already have plasma channel guidance technology. We have conducted experiments before, which means that even missiles within the atmosphere can be intercepted.

Oh, another difficulty lies in the real-time decision-making process. To achieve a response within seconds, a real-time command system is needed. I think this can be handed over to AI technology, or AGI technology.

In addition, in order to ensure 100% interception efficiency, blockchain technology can be introduced to share target data through quantum-resistant hash algorithms, so that single point failure will not affect the overall situation.

Simply put, it is a multi-satellite coordinated interception technology, which ensures that at least three satellites in an area can respond in a timely manner.

This requires designing an adaptive game strategy and an explainable AI layer. Of course, the most important thing is to implement a sufficiently efficient quantum protocol. But doesn’t this mean we can’t rest? ”

By the end, Qiao Yu had already started talking to himself, and Zheng Xiwen next to him was almost dumbfounded.

Is this a system that has already been designed?

He knew that Qiao Yu was very fast in scientific research, but he really didn't know that Qiao Yu could also design such a large-scale engineering project so quickly!

"that……"

“Cost, right? We said we could cooperate with the moon landing and other related aerospace projects, so the R&D cost is difficult to estimate. But the cost of satellite launch and laser assembly can be simply estimated.

Well, it shouldn’t cost much if the technology is mature. Especially when we have to launch more than 100 satellites, after the cost is spread out, the cost of each satellite should be around $1 billion.

No, 5 billion RMB should be enough, which means to realize this project... um, about 600 billion should be enough.

It seems a bit expensive! But it doesn’t matter. We can first launch about ten prototype satellites to form a network to verify whether the efficiency of the quantum-laser synergy mechanism is high enough.

And this is enough to cover the whole of Asia first and build a regional defense network. It only takes more than 50 billion to achieve 100% interception in the air and space area within Asia!
Although it is still a bit expensive. But think about it, Uncle Zheng! No one will have the right to say that if something is gone, then the earth does not need to exist!
In the future, everything that enters the space will be controlled by our space-based laser interception system! Only our missiles can go to the sky, so this project is definitely worth launching. Even if we have to postpone the moon landing for this purpose.

My suggestion is to temporarily save the funds and data from the moon landing and use them for this new project. The moon landing technical team has started working with us to prepare for the launch of this system. This world is uncertain, and we need to give this world some certainty! "

The entire plan has been fully presented.

Of course, Zheng Xiwen definitely couldn't make the decision on this matter, he just felt excited when he heard it.

Although Old Zheng never had the idea that he would die if he heard the truth, if this system could really be put online and the price was that he would die suddenly on the day the network was successfully established, Zheng Xiwen would not hesitate for even a second.

This is the technology that can truly build world peace! It will definitely calm everyone down.

After swallowing for a long time, Zheng Xiwen only blurted out: "Well...well...if this project can really be approved and research begins, the professors in your project team may need to undergo a more rigorous screening and confidentiality training."

Qiao Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary. The research they do is about quantum simulation. They just need not participate in the overall project progress. Some of the technical implementations do not require their participation. The engineers on the moon landing project are the ones in charge.

And don't be anxious. I just drew a conclusion based on some rough data. Whether it can succeed or not still needs more detailed demonstration. Even if it can succeed, it will take at least two or three years, so the most important thing is how to deal with what they say now!"

Zheng Xiwen nodded subconsciously. His mood was no longer gloomy, but he found that he was always easily led astray by Qiao Yu.

"So how do you respond now?"

"Tell them the truth! Tell them that we have always adhered to the development strategy of win-win cooperation. We said at the beginning that we would not keep this technology private!
Why are they even about to sign a cooperation contract with Google? They are also planning to help them train relevant theoretical talents and jointly develop quantum simulation technology! If you don’t believe it, you can ask Google!
So this time it was purely because Microsoft intervened and made excessive demands that caused all this trouble. Why did they say such harsh words to us? If they are unhappy, why don’t they go and cause trouble for Microsoft? "
