Ye Zhou sat in his room, opposite him, Xiao Ping and Chen Hao, who arrived at the base after receiving the experimental results. In the subsequent work, he will be responsible for coordinating intelligence collection and deciphering between the military and the General Technical Office.

"...So, based on the current situation, our six-nose computer's performance is actually slightly lower than expected this time?"

Chen Hao asked.

"At present, the main reason is microelectromagnetic disturbance, insufficient number of effective quantum bits, and non-localized effects. We cannot solve these problems in a short period of time. Fortunately, the topological quantum computer itself has strong noise resistance, and even if the external conditions are biased, it can meet the basic available standards."

"However, it took nearly 140 seconds to complete the 1024-bit prime factor solution, which means that in the subsequent intelligence analysis work, we must have priority choices, and it is impossible to conduct synchronous monitoring of all areas - unless there are a few more 'hex nose mirrors'."

Hearing Ye Zhou's answer, Chen Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Ping on the side and asked:

"Old Xiao, is there any difficulty in subsequent large-scale trial production? Do I need to coordinate new resources here?"

Xiao Ping shook his head and replied:

"The resources are not needed anymore, the current resources are enough. What we need now is mainly time."

"Time? What does it mean?"

Seeing Chen Hao's expression, Xiao Ping pondered for a moment and continued to explain:

"I'm not talking about the time from external threats -- I believe that after the birth of Six-Nose Mirror 003, this threat will soon disappear."

"I mean the time when our internal researchers reach the limit of tolerance."

"To put it bluntly, this is a very realistic problem. In the past few months, everyone has been working overloaded, and everyone has consumed a lot of mental and physical energy. Before the six-nosed mirror 003 came out, they could still rely on a breath to support it. But now the main goal has been achieved, and it is unlikely that you will want everyone to work so hard."

"It's human nature that no one can fight against this inertia. This is also the biggest problem in our project management."

"Especially because we are always in this closed environment, everyone's psychological fluctuations will become increasingly greater... So my suggestion is that under appropriate conditions, we can slow down the subsequent R&D process a little and focus on practical design first."

"After taking out the practical results as soon as possible, we will solve our urgent needs and then make other considerations."

Hearing his words, Chen Hao nodded solemnly.

The project team has been closed for too long. Although they advocate dedication and sacrifice, this way of working to fish out of the water will not last long after all, and the members of the project team also need to relax moderately - but this relaxation can only be after the crisis contact.

Therefore, how to use the highest efficiency to resolve the crisis has become the key to the problem they are facing now.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao looked at Xiao Ping apologetically and said:

"Old Xiao, to solve your problem, I'm afraid that some confidential strategies will be involved... I want to discuss this separately with Ye Zhou. Please..."

"I understand, I understand, you can discuss it, then I will go back and rest first."

"I can't stand it for so long, so I'm a little embarrassed. I'll go back today and sleep for 8 hours!"

Ye Zhou and Chen Hao stood up, shook hands with Xiao Ping respectively, and then took him out of the door, and then sat back on the sofa, but Ye Zhou was much more relaxed at this time.

In front of Xiao Ping, he still maintained a steady image, but in front of Chen Hao, he wished he could collapse on the sofa.

Chen Hao shook his head with some amusement, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and took a sip before asking:

"Do you basically know the situation outside?"

Ye Zhou nodded and replied:

"It's clear. All the six fleets have been replenished and are ready to go to the Indian Ocean. In addition, the series of mobilizations of their global military bases can help you know what they are going to do without thinking."

"But I'm curious how they will launch an operation this time... air strikes against Punjab? Or do you follow the previous routine and trade deterrence for negotiations?"

"Their deterrence is no longer useful, and we must do it directly this time---it's also a pity that I am the third brother. A grain-producing area that has been saved up on the Deccan Plateau has been beaten to pieces."

"Didn't they ask for it? If they don't do it, will there be so many messes? If you are serious, what are our subsequent plans?"

At this time, Ye Zhou had already sat up from the sofa. He looked at Chen Hao in front of him with a serious expression, and quietly waited for his answer.

"First of all, we must collect and decipher intelligence first, and we still have to rely on you. I have to confirm with you first. How long do you think it will take for us to go from prime factor decomposition to RSA decryption? You have a conservative estimate, which has a great impact on our subsequent plans."

“6 hours.”

Ye Zhou had no intention of being mysterious and answered directly.

"6 hours?? I'll let you say it conservatively..."

Chen Hao's face showed a look of surprise.

"This is conservative enough. There are more than 200 experts in the field of computer science in this base, and a large part of them have participated in the military's decryption project, and more than 40 people have backgrounds in cryptography."

"In addition, there are more than 60 professional cryptography experts, all of whom have dealt with their opponents countless times."

"Their experience is more abundant than anyone else, and I have also provided them with a large number of RSA encryption model cases. Based on these cases, it is not too fast to design a complete decryption module in 6 hours."

Hearing Ye Zhou's explanation, Chen Hao nodded and replied:

"So if that's the case, we can skip Plan No. 1 and adopt Plan No. 2."

“What is the No. 1 plan?”

"The symmetrical activity plan is very simple, it is to intercept the deployment strategy of the opponent's main combat unit in advance, and then use some military mobilizations to restrain them in advance."

"The advantage of this solution is that its intelligence analysis and acquisition is relatively difficult, and its disadvantage is that its deterrence is relatively weak."

"After all, in the eyes of our opponents, we still obtain information through traditional methods, and the response to actions may be coincidental. They cannot really retreat before they perceive the ultimate threat -- instead, they may speed up the action."

"This is something we don't want to see. To be honest, we don't want to see this war really start."

Ye Zhou stood up, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, took a sip before answering:

"I agree with this point of view. To be honest, just an intelligence leak is not enough to disrupt their arrangements. Think from others that if I were an opponent, I would not cancel the action because of one or two leaks."

"Only when there is a major loss because of this leak, I will stop and think about what's going on."

"But the result of thinking is probably not to end the war, but to throw it away."

Chen Hao nodded in agreement and continued:

"So, we have plan No. 2: information tampering."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what Chen Hao meant.

"What kind of information tampering? Military dispatch?"

"More than that. To be precise, we need to tamper with all the information related to this incident, including financial data, trade data, integrated dispatch data at the rear, and most importantly, military dispatch instructions."

"But, doesn't such a large-scale operation directly expose our technology?"

"Sooner or later, RSA decryption is a project that all capable countries are working on. The progress of the ugly country is only two or three years behind us. No matter how we cover it up, as long as they find that there is a large-scale leak of their intelligence, they will immediately think of RSA decryption technology."

"Instead of trying to hide it timidly, it is better to show them the sharp weapon."

"Sometimes, the sword in the sheath is not as useful as the sword drawn."

Ye Zhou frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"Do you think they'll eat this?"

"They will eat. Now no country has complete quantum encryption technology. Unless they regress the combat method to World War II, abandoning the data link and joint command system, and all information is transmitted by phone and paper, information leakage will become their biggest obstacle."

"Based on this situation, withdrawing troops is their only choice."

"Think about it, if a country can mobilize your army through technical means, and you have no way to do anything in the short term, then is it necessary to continue to fight such a battle?"

"Although our opponents are crazy, they are not stupid so far. They can definitely understand the stakes in them."

After listening to Chen Hao's explanation, Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
