Chapter 1189 Last Step Institute of Information Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.When Academician Gao saw the gray-haired old man walking toward him, he quickly walked up and asked, Old Xue, did you ask what was going on?

A while ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suddenly suspended the entire quantum encryption algorithm project.

Almost everyone involved in the project was confused and didnt know what happened.

As the leader and the most prestigious scholar in the project, Academician Xue was naturally selected to discuss with the State Administration for National Defense and find out what was going on.

Over the past few days, Gao Junfa had been trying to find out what was going on, and he finally ran into Academician Xue.

It seemed like Academician Xue had an answer.

However, judging by Academician Xues face, it wasnt a good answer.

Academician Xue Jinhui saw Academician Gao approach him. He wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide. He had no choice but to cough and explain.

The matter is very complicated Basically, you just need to know that the quantum encryption algorithm has been solved.

It was solved?

Academician Gao Junfa was shocked, and his eyes were wide open, similar to how Academician Xue first reacted to the news.

It was solved? How is that possible!

At first, I was just as surprised as you are. Academician Xue Jinhui said after a moment of silence, But this is in fact true, I saw it with my own eyes.

Seeing how the old man didnt appear to be lying, Academician Gao Junfa quickly said, You saw the algorithm?

Academician Xue Jinhui nodded.

Yes.

Tell me! What kind of encryption algorithm is it? Who made it?

Academician Xue coughed and said, I cant answer those questions right now.

Academician Gao was anxious, and he began to play the friendship card.

You dont trust me?

Its not about trust, its about principle. Academician Xue sighed and said, Dont worry, the algorithm will definitely be implemented Youll be able to see the code within a month or two at most.

Academician Gao still wanted to say something, but seeing how Academician Xue wasnt budging, he decided not to ask any more questions.

He knew that Academician Xue had probably signed a confidentiality agreement.

Academician Gao shook his head after a long sigh.

The new generation is replacing us Oh well, Ill just wait.

After Academician Gao left, Academician Xue didnt dare to stay around for long, in fear of being stopped and questioned by other colleagues. He quickly returned to his office.

He told his assistant to make him a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he wanted to read some papers, but he felt like he was missing something.

In the end, he couldnt restrain his curiosity. He asked his assistant to book him a high-speed rail ticket to Jinling, in the name of presenting a lecture at Jin Ling University.

Jin Ling University obviously wanted a top cryptography expert like him to visit the school, so they arranged everything for him.

After the lecture, Academician Xue declined the invitation from the dean of the information engineering department to have a meal. He walked around Jin Ling University, finally finding his way to Academician Lus office in the mathematics building.

When he arrived at the office, there werent many people inside. There was only a girl, who was probably an assistant, sitting near the door.

Academician Xue looked through the window and knocked on the door. He then asked in a friendly tone, Excuse me, is Academician Lu here?

Zhao Huan put down her pen and looked at this strange old man. She remembered that Lu Zhou didnt have an appointment today.

However, this wasnt the first time something like this had happened, so she responded.

Academician Lu has been at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study over the past few days, may I ask what are you here for? I can call him and ask when hes coming back

When Academician Xue saw the girl reaching for the phone, he quickly stopped her.

Oh, theres no need for that. The Institute for Advanced Study, right? Ill go there myself.

Zhao Huan looked at the strange old man walk away. She pondered for a second before writing an email to Professor Lu.

Apparently, Lu Zhou was working on a national project at the Institute for Advanced Study. She obviously didnt know what the project was.

She just knew that it was very important.

Even though Lu Zhou wasnt at Jin Ling University, Academician Xue wasnt discouraged.

Since he came all the way to Jinling, he didnt want to go back home empty-handed, not until he met the creator of the genius encryption algorithm.

He finally arrived at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. After he explained his intentions to the guard, he registered his information and was soon let inside. A security officer walked him to the Institute of Semiconductors.

Academician Xue was walking behind the security officer. He had a feeling that Academician Lu was already informed of his visit.

He finally arrived at the laboratory. He hesitated for a second before reaching out.

However, just when he was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.

A young man wearing a lab coat and messy hair appeared behind the door.

Even though this was Academician Xues first time meeting Lu Zhou, as a member of the academic community, he instantly recognized Lu Zhou. Before Academician Xue could speak, Lu Zhou spoke first.

Youre Academician Xue from the Institute of Information Engineering?

Sure am. Academician Xue nodded and said, My apologies for interrupting your research. Im just curious about your quantum encryption algorithm, so I came without an invitation

You didnt interrupt anything. Lu Zhou smiled and looked at the old man standing at the door. He stepped aside and made an inviting gesture as he said, Director Li told me about you, come on in.

Director Li? Academician Xue looked at Lu Zhou and said, How does he know I would come here?

He didnt say youre coming, but after hearing about what happened, I had a feeling you would be here. Lu Zhou smiled and said, It just so happens there are some things I want to discuss with you Come with me, Im at the last step of the experiment.
