Taking the innovation and entrepreneurship application form, Xiao Yi came to the entrepreneurship center office.
Although it is the first day of rework, there are already people in the office.
It was a young teacher. When he saw Xiao Yi walking in, he said, "Classmate, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Director Cao Nan."
"Director Cao?" The teacher was stunned, but at this time he noticed Xiao Yi behind him and said in surprise, "Director Cao!"
Xiao Yi is confused, what is the teacher doing in such a startled state?
But at this time, he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Hahaha, is this classmate Xiao Yi?"
Xiao Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged teacher walking in and coming to him. "I just received a call from Professor Liu Bin. I came down to take a look. You happened to be here too."
Xiao Yi understood his identity. "Are you Director Cao?"
"Yes." The middle-aged teacher nodded. "Here, let me take a look at your watch."
Xiao Yi handed in his application form. After Cao Nan took it, he sat on the seat next to him and read it.
As for the young teacher next to him, he was stunned when he heard Cao Nan's name. He didn't expect that the student in front of him was the famous genius in their school.
One thing to note is that more than a month ago, the banners that their school hung everywhere on the campus [Congratulations to our school's 2020 freshman Xiao Yi for successfully proving the world-class mathematical problem Twin Prime Conjecture] have not yet been taken down.
Even some of the posters hung on the street light poles in the school were replaced with Twin Prime Conjecture's science popularization posters. After the science popularization was completed, a sentence was added at the end: [This conjecture has been proven by Xiao Yi, a 2020 student of our school.]
The publicity department of their school knows how to show off.
"Um... blockchain technology?"
Cao Nan, who was sitting there, couldn't help but raise his head after seeing the name of the project applied for by Xiao Yi, and asked, "Don't you want to mine?"
"Uh..." Xiao Yi was startled.
What should I say?
You definitely can't lie to others about this kind of thing. Xiao Yi explained, "It is related to mining, but it cannot be said to be mining."
"How do you say it?" Cao Nan asked, "Look, you said it combines mathematical principles. Let me say it first, I don't understand mathematics."
So Xiao Yi explained to Cao Nan what mining software is.
"This."
After listening to Xiao Yi's explanation, Cao Nan roughly understood it, nodded and said, "If it is this kind of software involving innovative algorithms, it is indeed a good project, and we are more supportive."
"Okay, no problem, the project has been approved."
Cao Nan smiled and said, "Of course. Since you said it's not mining, don't let us check your electricity consumption when the time comes. It's ridiculously high."
Xiao Yi waved his hands repeatedly. "This is definitely not possible."
He only has one server, and even if he really mines and runs it at full load all day long, it won't require much electricity.
People are mining with hundreds or thousands of mining machines running at the same time. The power supply of a mining machine is 1000W or more, which is hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. How can his small server compare?
"That's it."
Then Cao Nan stopped asking any more questions. After all, if Xiao Yi really mined, they would definitely be able to find it.
Then, he signed the form directly and said, "Then I will take you to your venue first. As for the funds, it will take some time to be approved. It needs to be reported to the Academic Affairs Office for approval."
"No problem." Xiao Yi said OK, it only cost 200,000 yuan.
Such little money...
He is still not lacking.
Cao Nan took the key and then left the office with Xiao Yi and walked towards the venue.
On the way there, Cao Nan also told Xiao Yi about the venue fees, "The first six months are free of rent. After that, you have to pay 1,000 yuan in rent every month, and you have to pay for the electricity bill yourself."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Cao."
This price can only be said to be cheap and cannot be cheaper.
Probably in this society, only schools can provide such support.
Cao Nan smiled and waved his hand, "These are all policies. Of course, for other students, they are usually free of rent for three months. Your treatment is relatively better."
"Compared to renting a venue outside, it's good to be able to at least save property fees in the school."
While talking, they also came to the door of the Xiao Yi venue.
But what was a little surprising was that there were still two students standing at the door, looking in through the window.
One of the students wearing glasses raised a finger and said, "Look, that server costs that much."
"100,000?" asked another student.
The student wearing glasses rolled his eyes. "It's 100,000 yuan. Look at the size of the server. Is it worth 100,000 yuan? One million!"
"What the hell? Real or fake?" Another student's eyes suddenly widened.
"Nonsense, how can I lie to you? Look at the brand above, IBM! It's basically the most expensive of all server brands, and its main advantage is stability." The bespectacled student narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just that this server has been here for the past month and has never been used. I don't know who it belongs to."
Another student said, "If this were put into our laboratory, how great would it be? Maybe the senior sister will give us a whole project as soon as she is happy."
Then the bespectacled student's expression became serious. "This is the purpose of bringing you here, Junior Brother Hu. You go and find a way to find out who owns this server, and then ask him if he is willing to rent it to us temporarily if he doesn't use it."
"Me?" Another student pointed at himself in confusion.
"What are you two doing?"
Suddenly, two students heard a voice coming from next to them. They were startled and looked over quickly. Then the two young men stood at attention. "Teacher Cao!"
I saw Cao Nan walking over with Xiao Yi, waving and saying, "Let's go, Xu Ming. I've seen you here several times in the past two days. Don't worry about this server. The real owner is here."
Xu Ming was the student wearing glasses. When he heard Teacher Cao's words, he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned to look at Xiao Yi. He was shocked on the spot and said with wide eyes, "Holy crap, Scholar Xiao?!"
Junior Brother Hu heard his senior brother's words and immediately looked over in shock, "Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao...Scholar Xiao?!!"
Xiao Yi touched his nose slightly embarrassed.
It scares people to the point of stuttering.
Guilty sin.
"Hello." Xiao Yi finally nodded towards the two of them.
Next, the two people watched blankly as Cao Nan opened the door and walked in with Xiao Yi.
when they react.
Junior Brother Hu said blankly, "Oh my god, this server actually belongs to Scholar Xiao? Scholar Xiao is so rich? It's a 1 million server."
"Who do you think Scholar Xiao is? Didn't you see in the news that Scholar Xiao just made a little effort and casually earned 10 million?"
Xu Ming rolled his eyes, and then said, "Okay, let's go quickly and go to the laboratory to show off, we saw Scholar Xiao!"
Junior Brother Hu nodded immediately after hearing this. "Yes, yes! And Scholar Xiao even said hello to us!"
inside the room.
"I'll leave the key here."
After delivering Xiao Yi, Cao Nan's mission was completed.
However, thinking of what happened just now, he still said, "The two students just now were students from the School of Materials Science. When your server was delivered, that Xu Ming saw it. It is probably because no one was using it, so he became interested in their laboratory... Forget it, let's not talk about it, just don't pay attention to him anyway."
Xiao Yi nodded, but he didn't care.
Of course, he still asked with some curiosity, "Does their School of Materials Science start so early?"
Cao Nan laughed, "The four major sinkholes of biochemical environmental materials are like this, everyone understands them."
Xiao Yi is silent.
As a teacher, do you want to take pleasure in others' misfortune?
After brushing off this topic, Cao Nan emphasized some precautions and finally said, "Okay, then I won't disturb you anymore. I wish you success in starting a business."
"Thank you, teacher." Xiao Yi nodded with a smile.
Until Cao Nan left, he turned to look at his server.
Although it was purchased with funds, this server is now almost equivalent to his personal belongings.
As Professor Kleinrock said at the time, if it is government scientific research funding, management may be stricter, but for corporate funds like World Bank, management must be relatively lax.
Not to mention, they completed the project perfectly.
However, there is only one server now, and it is not equipped with a screen or anything.
Of course, it wasn't a big problem. He took this into consideration and brought his laptop over.
The next step is to configure the server and connect to the software. After that, tell Boss Huang.
Without further ado, he took out his laptop and started working on it.
Until the next day.
"Genius Xiao, are you finally okay? Haha, okay! I've been waiting for a long time."
The voice of Boss Huang came from the phone.
And Xiao Yi was sitting in front of his laptop, looking at the server settings that had been configured in front of him, and then said, "It's ready, you can log in at any time."
"Okay, I'm also ready here. I have vacated 3,000 mining machines today, just waiting for your new algorithm."
Boss Huang smiled heartily, and then heard him say to his employees, "Get on board!"
After a while, the backend of Xiao Yi received the user login message.
"Okay, Boss Huang, everything is normal here, you can start mining over there."
"Okay!" Boss Huang said, "Then I will make the call here first. Let me see how Genius Xiao's algorithm is."
Xiao Yi smiled, "Boss Huang Just don't worry."
The phone was hung up.
Xiao Yi put down the phone and raised the corner of his mouth.
How good is this algorithm?
He clicked on the software on his computer called Yishui Bit - this was the name of his mining software.
There is an account system in Yishui Bit. All mining profits on this software are stored in this account, and users can withdraw them to their own Bitcoin account.
At this time, his account balance showed that there were currently 6.25 Bitcoin left.
After he configured it yesterday, he briefly used his own server to mine and try it out - just to verify the stability of the software.
After running it all night, he came over the next day to see that there were 6.25 more Bitcoin in his account.
That is to say...
Through solo mining, he used his own algorithm to find the answer in a certain block first with an average probability lower than 5 million.
Although I have to admit that this has a lot to do with luck.
However, this is enough to show how powerful his algorithm is in finding the correct hash value.
According to today's price of Bitcoin, which is US$55,000, he earned 340,000 US dollars or 2.23 million RMB in just one night!
It almost made him think about whether to actually start a mine.
Of course, he also knew very well that it was just once, and it could only be said to be an exception. Luck accounted for a large part. Maybe he would never have such good luck in the future.
However, he believes that when Boss Huang's large-scale mining machines begin to be used, the final income will be enough to prove the superiority of his algorithm!
At that time, it was time for Yishui Bit to take the mining world by storm!
