94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 132 On the Internet, I am the King of Deception!

Lin Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.

He suddenly thought of a question...

The Internet in this era uses the IPv4 protocol.

There are only 43 billion IP addresses in total.

It may seem sufficient now, but in twenty years, with the explosion of smartphones and the Internet of Things, IPv4 addresses will be completely exhausted.

The later solution was IPv6, a 128-bit address space, which was said to be able to assign an IP address to every grain of sand on Earth.

However, the widespread adoption of IPv6 didn't happen until after 2010.

And now—

Lin Yu suddenly sat up straight.

It is 1994!

IPv4 has just begun to be commercialized, and the IPv6 protocol is not even a shadow yet!

if--

What if he could complete the IPv6 framework ahead of schedule at this point?

It was not the complete standard that had been revised countless times in later generations, but a prototype, a direction, and a theoretical framework that would allow the Chinese to lead the future Internet infrastructure protocols.

Lin Yu's breathing became rapid.

He brought up the deep blue light screen that only he could see, connecting it to the artificial intelligence network of 2026.

"Search the development history of the IPv6 protocol."

The light screen flickered, and information poured down like a waterfall.

IPv6, short for Internet Protocol Version 6, was officially released by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1995 as RFC 1883.

In 1992, the IETF became aware of the problem of IPv4 address depletion and established the IP Next Generation Protocol (IPng) working group.

1994 was a time when the IPng working group was working intensively to develop standards.

In 1995, the first draft of the IPv6 standard was released.

Back in May 1994, IPv6 was still just a concept, and major manufacturers and academic institutions were still fiercely debating the technical roadmap.

As Lin Yu looked at these messages, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

He knew what to do.

However, at this moment, someone started replying to him on the webpage in his backend.

Lin Yu stared at the newly registered account on the screen and chuckled.

FromBeijing, this ID itself is actually quite low-key and unassuming.

However, at this very moment, with the BEC just published, this name is generating an overwhelming amount of buzz.

Soon after, a group of people came to answer his questions about BEC, and asked him why they couldn't figure it out.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then typed a line on the keyboard:

"Nice try, but you guys are still far away. We used a special technique

"Quantum entanglement assisted cooling. That "s the real secret."

(The idea is good, but you're still far from perfect. We used a special technology—"quantum entanglement-assisted cooling".)

That's the real secret.

After sending the message, Lin Yu leaned back and waited to see the reaction.

Refresh the page five minutes later.

There are already seven or eight more comments.

(What?! Quantum entanglement-assisted cooling? Is this even possible?)

(That's ridiculous. Entanglement can't be used for cooling; it violates the laws of thermodynamics!)

(Who is this FromBeijing? Is he causing trouble?)

Lin Yu was amused. Some people actually believed him, while others realized he was just there to cause trouble.

But he wasn't afraid!

Nowadays, most people have only been using the internet for a few years; they're nowhere near as experienced as him.

In a few more steps, he will turn all these people into his followers.

He continued typing:

(Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in Beijing, just left the lab. Think about it: entangled particles share the same quantum state. If you cool one of them, the other will automatically cool down, no matter how far apart they are. This is how we bypass the density limit.)

After posting this, Lin Yu almost burst out laughing.

Quantum entanglement-assisted cooling?

Theoretically, this thing can only be said to be unfalsifiable.

In 1994, even quantum entanglement itself was still being studied as a novelty in laboratories, let alone used to cool atoms.

Nobody can succeed.

But the problem is, this theory sounds incredibly reasonable!

Two entangled particles, one gets cold, and the other gets cold too—how natural!

Moreover, this thing cannot be disproven; as soon as the paper was published, no one came to Lin Yu to verify it.

Nobody knows whether you actually used it or not.

He had complete control over the interpretation of left and right hands.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the forum completely exploded.

(This...this actually makes sense. If they can maintain the entanglement in BEC...)

(But how to maintain the entanglement at such a low temperature? That's the real challenge!)

(FromBeijing, are you from a Chinese team? Do you have any proof?)

Lin Yu was overjoyed as he read the comments.

It's so much fun! The internet is so much more fun.

Without the internet, where would he go to fool these people?

These people are all incredibly serious.

He decided to add fuel to the fire.

He had the entire experimental process in mind, and even knew the future development path.

Right now, he's a true expert in quantum mechanics!

(Evidence? Look at our density distribution. That spike isn't just BEC—it's entanglement-enhanced condensation. We see it at 170...)

It was observed in nanokel, but the actual phase transition occurred at 300 nanokel because of entangled precooling.

After posting this, Lin Yu could barely continue making up a story.

He made up all of that stuff about pre-cooling and phase transition temperature.

The problem is that these claims are all based on real BEC data; the peak does exist, and the 170 nano-Kelvin temperature was indeed the temperature he measured.

And it was published in a paper.

However, the subsequent explanations all incorrectly added causality. Quantum entanglement does exist in reality, but BEC's proof did not use it at all.

Five minutes later, someone with the ID Cornell-Physicist replied.

(I'm Carl Wieman from the University of Colorado. If what you're saying is true, this will be revolutionary. But I must say, the theoretical framework for entanglement-assisted cooling doesn't exist yet. How did you develop it?)

Lin Yu stared at the ID, stunned for two seconds.

Holy crap?

Who?

Carl Wieman?!

That Carl Wieman who's at the University of Colorado?!

The American team that was progressing the fastest in the original timeline for BEC?!

The real person has joined in?!

Lin Yu's fingers hovered over the keyboard, hesitating for three seconds.

I'm not entirely sure if I can fool such a top expert.

But upon closer reflection, he laughed again.

They haven't accomplished anything yet, so they can't just accept whatever he says.

His ID was the most authoritative proof before anyone stepped forward to debunk it.

Then he started typing furiously on the keyboard:

(Dr. Wieman, it's a pleasure to meet you online. The theoretical framework was developed by our team leader, Lin Yu.)

(He's a genius; he can deduce things from first principles that would take ordinary people years to understand.)

(No one knows BEC better than him!)

After posting this, Lin Yu himself felt a little shameless.

But this isn't entirely untrue; he can indeed deduce things from first principles, even though he relies on cheats.

Two minutes later, Wyman replied:

(Lin Yu? The Lin Yu who published the BEC paper? I thought he was the first author, but I didn't expect he was also the theoretical lead. This... is truly unexpected.)

(I'd love to discuss this further. Is there a way to contact him directly?)

(Now, I admit, no one understands BEC better than him.)
