Chapter 152 Restart the era of battleships

It's late today, sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As scientists of the Tang Empire continued to obtain various advanced research results from the wreckage of alien spacecraft, the various industrial constructions of the Tang Empire also benefited a lot. For example, when electronic computers moved from transistors to large-scale integrated circuits, the underlying computer language like alien oracle bones was developed. This language directly programmed the 01-digit machine language, making the computer develop towards a more intelligent computer.

"Your Highness, now our national supercomputer can achieve a computing speed of 20 million times per second. Once we crack the computer program of alien civilizations, we may soon develop a smart computer with a computing speed of up to trillions of times per second, and accurately calculate the trajectory of the celestial bodies in the alien system. One day we will find the location of the alien civilization."

For Gu Kaifeng, the new director of the National Science Laboratory, his benefits of studying alien computers in Area 52 are still at a very basic level of understanding.

However, Zhang Meng quickly reminded him, saying: "If I'm not wrong, the computer system used by alien spacecraft should be a quantum computer, so you still have a long way to go in the future!"

"Quantum computer?" Gu Kaifeng was stunned at first, and then seemed to have something to think about.

As early as 1920, scientists proposed quantum computers, but there were only science fiction in science fiction, which could not be realized with the industrial capabilities of that era.

However, with the continuous progress of human beings, many things in science fiction have become reality.

As the Tang Empire entered the era of large-scale integrated circuits in the field of computers, scientists led by Gu Kaifeng discovered that energy consumption would cause the chips in computers to heat up, greatly affecting the integration of chips, thus limiting the running speed of computers. After continuous research, they found that energy consumption comes from irreversible operations in the calculation process.

Zhang Meng only had a vague impression of quantum computer theory, but he knew that in his 21st century era, the United States had developed that their quantum computers could crack the encryption algorithms of all financial systems in 10 seconds. As soon as they were released, they paniced the whole world. Financial institutions in various countries were all kidnapped by the United States. They were more cruel and thorough than nuclear blackmail, and they were enough to change the world pattern, so he was particularly concerned. Remember the quantum computer.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng's eyes suddenly lit up. He hoped that the Tang Empire could develop a quantum computer as soon as possible. In this case...hehe...

He grinned. Seeing Gu Kaifeng looking at him in shock, he said casually: "Have you ever thought about it? Do the calculation process have to be completed with irreversible operations? All computers should be able to find a corresponding reversible computer without affecting the computing power. Since every step of the operation in the computer can be transformed into a reversible operation, in quantum mechanics, it can be represented by a unitary transformation."

Gu Kaifeng was wondering why Zhang Meng was grinning. When he heard Zhang Meng's words, he was stunned at first, then fell into thinking, and then he was overjoyed: "Sure enough, everyone said that if you encounter something you don't understand, just talk to Your Highness, you will definitely benefit a lot. Today, the old man, I was taught again, and your Highness's words were like enlightenment. I had been struggling with for decades and finally figured it out at once! Your Highness's holy wisdom!"

Zhang Meng laughed a few times. He had done this kind of plagiarizing theories of later generations tens of thousands of times, so his skin had already become a thick and dark state without blushing or breathing.

Gu Kaifeng and others have also developed some quantum computers before, all of which are ordinary computers described in quantum mechanics language, and do not take into account the essential properties of quantum mechanics, such as the superposition and coherence of quantum states. Quantum computers transform each superposition component, all of which are completed at the same time, and superimpose them according to a certain probability amplitude, giving the result. This calculation is called quantum parallel computing. In addition to parallel computing, another important purpose of quantum computers is to simulate quantum systems, which is not competent for ordinary computers.

If we use an exact metaphor, if semiconductor computers are compared to a single musical instrument, quantum computers are like symphony orchestras, and one operation can handle many different situations. Therefore, a simple 40-bit quantum computer can solve the problems that 1,024-bit electronic computers have spent decades to solve.

It can be seen from this that if a higher-level quantum computer is developed, the encryption algorithms of all financial systems around the world will be broken in seconds.

"Your Highness, I won't be with you anymore. You can change yourself slowly. I suddenly had a whim and wanted to go back to the laboratory quickly. I lost my companion!" Gu Kaifeng forgot Zhang Meng's identity at this moment, and after that, he left.

Zhang Meng was stunned, smiling bitterly, but he had already become accustomed to it. These scientists are all weird people and cannot be inferred based on common sense.

"I hope you can develop quantum computers as soon as possible, but traditional computers must be promoted to the whole world as soon as possible, otherwise other countries will not use computers to manage financial systems. Even if we study quantum computers, it will be useless! By the way, it is not possible to have no network. You can't carry quantum computers to the door of someone else's bank and tell them that I want to crack their bank encryption system! It seems that some technical export controls must be appropriately relaxed!"

Zhang Meng touched his chin and was planning a new round of shocking plans for robbing the whole world.

At this time, the guards reported that the new Defense Minister Yang Ganglie had something to look for him, so Zhang Meng temporarily put down his fantasy and returned to reality. The convoy returned to Afang Palace.

Afang Palace is a new imperial palace built in the new capital of the Tang Empire. Originally, Zhang Meng wanted to move the Daming Palace to the new capital, but in the end he found that it was better to build a new one than to relocate, but he could not build two Daming Palaces. Even if the people of the Tang Dynasty loved their leader, they would not be able to help but say that Zhang Meng was a prodigal son.

Therefore, after discussing with the ministers of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Zhang Meng decided to build a new palace in the capital of the new country. Zhang Meng was very yearning for the palaces that disappeared in the long river of history, so he finally decided to rebuild the Afang Palace.

Although the historians and architects of the Tang Dynasty found many records about the Afang Palace. However, because of the long history and the loss of many key information, experts could only rely on speculation to rebuild the Afang Palace.

Even so. As the world's number one superpower, the Tang Empire is naturally luxurious, magnificent, powerful and domineering. Therefore, the Afang Palace is huge in scale, with three Daming Palaces, and its luxury is far greater than that of the Forbidden City.

It was originally paid by the Ministry of Finance for 500 million yuan, but in the end, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries reported significantly. They accused Zhang Meng of spending money and causing trouble, forcing Zhang Meng to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Fortunately, Zhang Meng has huge assets of hundreds of billions of Tang Yuan, and 500 million of Tang Yuan is a drop in the bucket for him. So he only hurt for a while and soon forgot about it.

When he returned to Afang Palace, Zhang Meng summoned General Yang Ganglie.

After asking, he realized that it was a new round of fierce debate within the Tang Dynasty Navy.

Since the Tang Empire captured the super battleships from Britain, France and Germany to the Tang Navy, two factions have been formed within the entire naval officers and soldiers. One worships giant ships and cannonism, and wants to restore the core position of battleships in the navy, and is the internal title of the BB Party. The other is the insistence that aircraft carriers and aircraft aircraft dominate the battlefield, maintain aircraft carriers as the core position of fleets, and is the internal title of the CV Party.

Since the Tang Navy won more than a dozen super battleships to serve, it did not experience cutting-edge naval battles, all super battleships have not exerted the combat power of the main naval battles. Since its establishment, the Tang Navy has always used aircraft carriers as the battle center, which can be said to have made great contributions to the Tang Empire. At first, the BB Party was at a disadvantage and the position of aircraft carriers as the center is unshakable.

However, as the new weapon orbital kinetic artillery of the Tang Empire entered the stage of actual combat deployment, the naval officers and soldiers of the CV Party of the aircraft carrier-centered theory have always changed the view that aircraft carriers can use carrier-based aircraft to destroy battleships beyond the visual range. Because aircraft carriers are thin in appearance, if they are in close combat, they will obviously be destroyed by one gun in the battleship. Therefore, the bb party has always been worried that the main gun of the battleship is too short and cannot fight the aircraft carrier. They can only passively fight with aircraft carrier-based aircraft, and cannot exert the power of the main gun of the battleship.

Now, the orbital kinetic artillery of the Tang Empire has entered the stage of actual combat deployment, and the ground firepower test has passed the approval of the Army Equipment Committee, and the tg1000 is included in the procurement list of the Army's local air defense forces.

This type of tg1000 orbital kinetic cannon can destroy cruise missiles flying from 400 kilometers away in a few seconds. In the national missile defense plan of the Tang Empire, although the Guardian 1, 2, and 3 air defense missiles were purchased to form a national missile defense system, it was found in actual combat inspection that the interception success rate was too low, and the maintenance cost of a large number of air defense missiles was high. With the development of long-range ballistic missiles with a speed of up to Mach 3, the Tang army often only had more than ten minutes from early warning to achieving air defense interception. If the nuclear submarines of the United States and the Soviet Union were close to the land of the Tang Empire and then launched ballistic missiles, the interception time was shorter and the success rate was lower.

However, as the orbital kinetic artillery was in service with the Army's air defense forces, under the surveillance of the advanced radar and space satellites of the Tang Empire, once an invading missile was found, the orbital kinetic artillery was locked and almost 100 shots were hit, and the interception success rate was 100%. This is because the speed of the orbital kinetic artillery was much faster than that of the air defense missile, reaching Mach 9 (9 times the speed of sound), and the US and Soviet missiles would be destroyed without time to react. The traditional air defense missiles were too slow. The missiles specially developed by the US and Soviet Union to break through the Datang air defense system all had orbital change technology, so it made it difficult for the Tang army's guard air defense missiles to successfully intercept.

This is just one advantage of orbital kinetic energy guns. The Navy BBs have long targeted sea-based carrier-based orbital kinetic energy guns, and planned to lead orbital kinetic energy guns to battleships, and then equipped with nuclear reactor power supply and advanced radar systems. In this way, the battleships can also launch attacks beyond the visual range, and aircraft carriers hundreds of kilometers away will be instantly eliminated.

Hearing Yang Ganglie's commentary, Zhang Meng's eyes lit up. He agreed with this idea. After all, the current naval combat method is no longer melee combat. The United States, Tang and Suzhou are all using missiles as their main weapons.

"Your Highness, if you agree, the Navy Equipment Commission will approve a new round of modernization modifications to the active battleships!"
