NOVEL WEB Chapter 19: A New Challenge
Addressing Social Issues
In the new research facility beneath the Imperial Palace, Satoru Koizumi and his team were tackling various social challenges using the incredible power of the latest quantum computer. Their research spanned multiple fields, including environmental issues, healthcare, and energy efficiency.
Tackling Environmental Issues
“With this quantum computer, we can greatly advance our analysis of environmental data,” Tomomi Koizumi said while working on climate change simulations. Her research aimed to propose concrete measures to slow the progress of global warming.
Innovations in Healthcare
Masato Matsuda focused on the application of quantum computing in the medical field. “This will allow us to analyze genetic data instantly, bringing us closer to the realization of personalized medicine.” His research offered hope to many patients by leading to early diagnosis and the discovery of optimal treatment methods.
Improving Energy Efficiency
Kagaya Ginga devoted his efforts to improving energy efficiency. “With this technology, we can optimize energy consumption and reduce waste. This is the key to a sustainable future.” His research contributed significantly to the spread of clean energy.
Advances in Astrophysics
Sora Amano used the quantum computer to further his astrophysics research. His main focus was on simulations of black holes and the analysis of cosmic evolution. “With this, we can gain a deeper understanding of black hole structures and the evolution of the universe.” Amano’s work offered crucial insights into the mysteries of the cosmos.
Takumi Takagi’s Contribution
Takumi Takagi also dedicated himself to developing next-generation energy technologies. “With this technology, we can envision a sustainable future.” He introduced his latest energy technologies to the research facility, aiming to further enhance energy efficiency.
Meeting to Prepare for ADAM’s Next Attack
One day, Satoru Koizumi convened a meeting to prepare for the next attack by ADAM. Former President Jacob Cohen also joined via a web conference.
“I’d like to discuss the measures we’ll take to prepare for ADAM’s next attack,” Satoru said, opening the meeting.
Integrating AI
“First, we need to strengthen our defense system by incorporating AI,” Kagaya Ginga continued. “AI can learn from patterns of cyberattacks and deploy real-time countermeasures. This allows us to detect early warning signs and respond instantly.”
“Specifically, how will you integrate AI?” Tomomi Koizumi asked.
“We’ll integrate AI into the defense system so it can detect attack signs and respond immediately,” Ginga explained.
Naming the AI
“Let’s give the new AI a name—something we can trust,” suggested Ryoko Akiba.
“How about EVE and ELIZA?” Satoru proposed. “EVE will handle defense, and ELIZA will lead our offensive strategies.”
“Sounds good. EVE will guard us, and ELIZA will direct the attack,” Ginga agreed.
Strengthening the Defense System
“We also need to strengthen our existing defense system by incorporating quantum encryption to enhance communication security,” Ryoko suggested.
“How exactly does quantum encryption work?” Jacob asked through the web conference.
“Quantum bits are used to encrypt information, making it physically impossible to eavesdrop. Plus, by using quantum teleportation, we can ensure that the communication is fully protected,” Ginga replied.
Implementation and Testing
“We need to implement these measures immediately and start testing,” Satoru urged the team. “We don’t know when the next attack will happen, but we need to be fully prepared.”
“Let’s all work together to build the best defense system possible,” Masato Matsuda agreed.
