・Briefly explain what we humans will achieve with quantum computers, and how the world will undergo transformation, and what kind of mindset we should have and what kind of technology we should polish in order not to be left behind by changes in the world, with fun, and sometimes spine-chilling stories (p7)
・Since Japan is shackled by Article 9 of the Constitution, it is necessary to have the strongest computer in cyberspace to quickly decipher information on enemy countries hitting missiles, take over the opponent's system, and stop them. Investments in quantum computers in Japan started with 10 billion yen in 2018 and 30 billion yen in 2020, and China announced an investment of 1 trillion yen in 2019 in addition to 120 billion yen in 2015 and 5 years in 2019 (p32)
・Quantum computers using absolute zero superconductivity technology are mainstream, but they require enormous amounts of electricity, and photonic quantum computers that can be used at room temperature are the favorite, but there are silicon photonics computers (using light as a conduction path within a chip) (p77)
・There are two uses of quantum computers: 1) solving problems that cannot be solved without brute force calculation, such as optimization problems, and 2) performing cryptographic decryption by applying factorization (p88)
・The media conceals that solar panels consume 3-5 years' worth of electricity generated by the panels during the manufacturing stage, and the lifespan is 20 years (p106)
・The Chinese yuan is in effect a dollar-based currency, and China has formed a special financial scheme where dollars are earned through trade, replaced with US bonds, and the Chinese yuan is issued based on that. The reason for accepting US bonds is that threats are placed against the US and that they can be leveraged with funds using US bonds as supporting assets and used to raise funds for corporate acquisitions. They spend more than they earn. This is possible because leverage is applied (p135)
・When the digital yuan starts, the 60 countries targeted by the Belt and Road area and 4.4 billion people will completely change to the Chinese economic zone, and even America will not be able to compete. (p145)
・With the completion of a surveillance society using 5G communication, artificial intelligence, and quantum computers, the real “end of history” is about to begin, everyone's actions are being monitored in real time, political ideas are recorded, the economy is held by only some people who can decipher the code, democracy and liberalism will come to an end, but peace and stability can be maintained indefinitely for the Chinese Communist Party (p157)
