Shen Qi was walking on the campus of Yanda University, and it was raining lightly from the sky.

A black car drove up to Shen Qi and stopped. The rear window was open and there was a person sitting in the back seat. He waved to Shen Qi: "Shen Qi, get in the car."

"Dean Ning, where are you going?" Shen Qi knew this person, the dean of the School of Physics of Yanda University, and an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

"Let's talk in the car." Dean Ning pushed the door open in the car, and couldn't wait to call Shen Qi into the car.

Shen Qi got into the car, and the car started to leave Yan University.

"It's been almost a month since you returned to China this time. When will you return to Princeton?" Dean Ning asked.

Shen Qi said: "The plan is to return to Princeton next week, and it can be adjusted according to the actual situation. It's okay to leave a few weeks later."

"There is no need to postpone the original plan, otherwise the US side may become suspicious." Dean Ning said.

"Dean Ning, where are we going?" Shen Qi had a premonition from Dean Ning's serious demeanor and tone, something was going to happen?

"Go to the Academy of Sciences meeting, it's almost here."

The car soon arrived at the entrance of the Academy of Sciences. Shen Qi was about to get off the car when he found two unusual people outside the car.

One of them wears glasses and exudes an air of wisdom. He is well-known in Chinese physics circles and is the chief scientist of China's quantum satellite project.

"Academician Pan also came to the meeting?" Shen Qi was a little surprised. Academician Pan is famous in the international physics community for breaking world records. Academician Pan's team achieved 18 qubit entanglement not long ago, breaking the world record again.

"Yes, Academician Pan learned that you returned to China, but he didn't have your personal contact information, so please let me invite you to participate in today's academic seminar." Dean Ning patted Shen Qi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Shen Qi , the country needs you."

Academician Pan and Dean Ning are both experts in Chinese physics. Shen Qi guessed that today's meeting at the Academy of Sciences must be related to physics.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the person next to Academician Pan opened a black umbrella to cover Academician Pan from the rain, and the two entered the Academy of Sciences building.

"The person holding the umbrella for Academician Pan is a soldier, right? I have an impression of him. He has been on TV. He is a very young general." Shen Qi has sharp eyesight. He has a military atmosphere on him. If I remember correctly, he should be a newly appointed major general.

"Highly educated soldiers, skilled generals. Let's go, Shen Qi, get out of the car, and one day the generals will hold umbrellas for you." Dean Ning said.

Shen Qi and Dean Ning entered a meeting room in the building of the Academy of Sciences. This meeting room didn't even have windows, it was full of walls.

In order to make the indoor atmosphere less depressing, some green plants were placed in the meeting room to create vitality.

Under the introduction of Dean Ning, Shen Qi and Academician Pan got to know each other: "Hello, Academician Pan, I have admired your name for a long time."

Half of the hair of Academician Pan, who was worried about state affairs, was gray. He shook hands with Shen Qi: "Sit down, Shen Qi, the key to China, we need your key."

The idlers retreated, and the door of the conference room was closed.

Shen Qi counted silently, one, two, three...eight or ninety. There were ten people in the room, eight physicists, one mathematician with a background in physics, and one soldier.

The nature of this academic exchange meeting is definitely unusual. Among the eight physicists, four are academicians, and the remaining four are also well-known scholars in the Chinese physics field.

"Everyone, Mr. Nie, let's go directly to today's topic." Academician Pan presided over today's academic exchange meeting. Without talking nonsense, he began to use the PPT to make a statement: "Mozi has been in the sky for several years. Quantum communication on the ground The project is progressing intensively as planned, and it can be said that we are at the forefront of the world in the research and application of quantum information.”

Shen Qi was in awe, what Academician Pan and his team did was a big event, a real national event.

Glancing at the only soldier in the room, Shen Qi noticed excitement in Officer Nie's eyes, but there was also a trace of worry in the excitement.

Shen Qi doesn't understand military affairs, but he has basic military knowledge. Modern warfare is an information warfare. Once a war starts, if our communication system is cut off and monitored by the enemy, it will be a waste of time. The blind and deaf will only be killed by blood. For cruelty.

"Compared with traditional keys, quantum keys are absolutely safe in nature, which ensures the reliability of the optical quantum communication system we built, but..." Speaking of this, Academician Pan was a little frustrated and annoyed He patted the desktop: "However, not long ago, our quantum secure communication project was hacked. The origin of these hackers is unknown, but we have reason to believe that they launched a tentative attack on us in an organized and purposeful way."

"The enemy succeeded?" Shen Qi blurted out, his face was solemn, and he realized at the same time that this was a state secret!

"They didn't really succeed, but they opened the first anti-theft door we carefully set up. This has to arouse our attention and vigilance. Our system needs to be further improved. Professor Shen, the reason why you are here today is to ask You help us set the world's most secure anti-theft door password." Academician Pan looked at Shen Qi with high hopes.

"But in the field of quantum communication, what can I do?" Shen Qi fell into deep thought.

"Shen Qi, it's been two years since you proved the Riemann's conjecture." Dean Ning interjected, and said, "You are the person who knows the Riemann's conjecture best and its theoretical uses. In the past two years, haven't you studied the practical use of the Riemann Hypothesis after it has been proven?"

"This...Of course I have thought about it." Shen Qi said.

Academician Pan, Dean Ning, Officer Nie, and everyone focused on Shen Qi, waiting for Shen Qi to talk about his thoughts.

Shen Qi cleared his throat and said: "Using the product of two 100-digit prime numbers, that is, a 200-digit number as a key, will make the RSA system very secure. But there is a danger. The method used by mathematicians to decompose large numbers is not the same as ours. The simple trial-and-error search you would use to find the prime factors of 221."

"The proof of the Riemann conjecture and the establishment of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution system allow us to theoretically find a new and safer method to set keys to ensure Internet security. Of course this is a double-edged sword. If Hackers took the lead in mastering the application technology of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution system, and the Internet will become extremely dangerous."

"Fortunately, I haven't found a hacker with a higher level of mathematics than me for the time being. If the country needs it, I will try to take the lead in completing the application technology setting of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution system. But the problem is quantum communication, quantum key It's different from the traditional Internet system, so I don't know what I can do?" Shen Qi spread his hands and said.

Dean Ning: "Our Professor Shen, you are at the forefront of the world in terms of mathematics, but in terms of physics and computer science, what you study seems to be topics from the 1970s and 1980s?"

"This..." Shen Qixin said, what can I do, I rely on self-study in physics, and I have never been to the most cutting-edge physics laboratory. My physics tutor, Witten, discussed with me the theory of fifty years ago all day, and told me with an experimental device of two small balls and a spring, that this is the universe, and this is all of physics. It has been like this for the past 100 years. The same will be true for the next hundred years.

Academician Pan said: "Shen Qi, have you paid attention to the latest research results published by New York University? Their team claims to have found the connection between the Riemann Hypothesis and quantum physics. I extracted the core point of view of New York University, That is, the quantum chaotic system has all the prime numbers as its constituents. Do you know what this means? I think you should know what this means. I read your "On Complexity" just published on PRL, here In a purely theoretical physics paper, Shen Qi, you discussed chaotic systems."

Shen Qi suddenly stood up, and after a long period of silence, he came to his senses: "Academician Pan, Dean Ning, I understand what you mean. If the quantum chaotic system takes all prime numbers as its components, then I should be able to deduce a set of prime numbers." The equation stipulates that the quantum chaotic system corresponds to the energy level of all zeta function zero points... In this way, the application of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution system in the field of quantum communication encryption will be possible. No hacker on the earth can crack the Riemann conjecture+ The key to quantum physics, the most extreme possibility is that in the end, even we may not be able to crack it...so it is absolutely safe in nature."
