Hearing Boss Huang's words, Xiao Yi was immediately stunned.

"Boss Huang, what did you say? 200,000 units?"

"Yes!" Boss Huang said with a smile, "This is just a conservative estimate. I think it will be more."

"Hey, you can make a lot of money just from the activation fee."

The activation fee for 50 units is directly equivalent to 10 million for 200,000 units.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder."

"Yishui Bit may have to postpone the ticket until tomorrow. I bought a batch of servers today and am preparing for the software to go online."

Huang Houping laughed and said, "That's right, then you have to prepare a bigger server. If the server is too small, it will definitely not work."

"When those first batch of people are used up, I think your reputation as Yishui Bit will have to be improved a lot. 200,000 is just a starting point. I'm afraid you will have to go above 1 million in the end."

"I will call you Boss Xiao then, but I'm still looking forward to the day when I call you Professor Xiao."

"Okay, I'll stop here first, so I won't delay Genius Xiao. By the way, I'll tell that group of people the news."

The phone hung up, and Xiao Yi fell silent. Looking at the server cluster worth 5 million in front of him, he began to think.

When Yishui Bit comes online, I'm afraid so many servers will be drained again, right?

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at a middle-aged man standing aside.

This middle-aged man's name is Yu Hong, and he is the manager of Fei City, the supplier and seller of these server clusters.

At this time, the manager was arranging the masters to assemble these servers, with a smile on his face.

After all, it's hard not to be happy with such a large amount of business coming just at the beginning of the new year.

At this time, Xiao Yi continued to ask, "Manager Yu, my situation has changed now, and I plan to expand a batch of 3 million servers."

As soon as Xiao Yi said this, Manager Yu's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "Of course it's no problem! I'll arrange it right away!"

"Mr. Xiao, it's a coincidence that you're here. Our business has just opened this year, and a batch of servers just happened to be shipped over. Otherwise, you might have to wait for a while."

Xiao Yi smiled, "Then I'll trouble Manager Yu."

"No trouble, no trouble." Manager Yu waved his hand, but then he asked, "But having said that, I would like to ask, Mr. Xiao, what did you buy this server for? Are these 5 million servers not enough?"

"Of course, if it's not convenient for you to say it, forget it."

Xiao Yi waved his hand. "It's not inconvenient at all. The main purpose is to develop a mining software, mainly for users. It will be officially open for download in the next period of time. The usage of this software will increase a lot. The 5 million server cluster may not be enough."

"Is it actually mining software? It does take up a lot of space." Manager Yu was surprised, then he thought about it and said, "Then I only have two suggestions. Buy more server clusters, which will take up more space. Another suggestion is to cooperate with some other server companies, such as that kind of data center. They all have server hosting related businesses. You just need to ensure the security of the software algorithm."

"Data center?" Xiao Yi thought for a moment, "I understand, thank you for your suggestion."

"Of course, there is another possibility that your software is really popular and has attracted investment from other companies. In this case, you can select companies that can help you with the server for financing." Manager Yu said, "I just heard you mention 200,000 units on the phone. Should you be referring to 200,000 mining machines? If this is the case, then your software is amazing, with a valuation of hundreds of millions at least."

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yi was stunned.

He had never considered financing before.

But now that I think about it, after all, it is an innovation and entrepreneurship, and financing is indeed a normal method.

At this time, Xu Ming and Liu Chao came back. After hearing their conversation, Xu Ming said, "Brother Xiao, if you ask our senior sister for help with this kind of thing, she will definitely have a way."

Liu Chao also nodded. "Yes, our senior sister has a wide network of contacts. She seemed to have said before that she has an acquaintance who is working on some kind of data center, and she is thinking about when to get a server from that acquaintance."

As a result, when Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, a voice came in. "What are you talking about? What do I want to cook?"

Xu Ming and Liu Chao were immediately frightened. When they turned around, they saw Luo Mingya coming over.

Okay, okay, I wasn't saying bad things just now. They've been doing a lot of cleaning in the past few days.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Didn't you say that the server that Junior Brother Xiao bought has arrived? I'll come over and see when we can use it." Luo Mingya said.

Manager Yu next to him smiled and said, "It will be available soon. Once these servers are configured and a cluster is formed, it will be ready."

Luo Mingya nodded, and then she turned to look at Xu Ming and Liu Qun.

"You just said how can I help Xiao Yi?"

Xu Ming and Liu Qun looked at Xiao Yi again.

Xiao Yi told what happened just now.

"This matter..." Luo Mingya thought for a moment, then nodded. "I can really help with this. My brother is in the data center. If you ask him to cooperate, there will be no problem. His data center is also in Jinling, not too far away."

Xu Ming said, "Huijing That's great. It's actually in our provincial capital. It's okay."

Everyone laughed. As we all know, Jinling is the capital of their Hui Province, and it is nicknamed Huijing.

"I'll give him a call directly. It just so happens that his data center hasn't been built for a long time. If there is business, he will probably be happy."

Then, Luo Mingya took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Soon, the call came through.

"Luo Mingchuan, come to my school and introduce a business to you."

Listening to the way Luo Mingya talked to his brother, Xu Ming and the others showed expressions of no surprise. 

Well, no surprise!

Soon, Luo Mingya hung up the phone, turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Okay, my brother will probably arrive this afternoon."

Xiao Yi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Liu Chao next to him asked curiously, "Sister, since your brother is engaged in data center, why don't we directly ask him for help?"

Luo Mingya waved his hand and said, "The data center is just a data center, not a computing center, and there is no high-performance computing. Our research mainly requires stronger computing power. If I really want to ask him for help, then I might as well find other computing centers, which can calculate faster."

"That means you have to queue up to use a supercomputer. Otherwise, I would definitely use a supercomputer."

Liu Chao nodded in realization.

Next, they waited for the masters to install the server and then turned on the server directly.

"Let's try running for a while now, Junior Brother Xiao, can we?"

Luo Mingya turned to ask Xiao Yi.

"Of course it's no problem." Xiao Yi said.

"Okay, thank you then."

Luo Mingya nodded, then she took out her laptop, connected to the server, opened their algorithm, and started running.

The server cluster worth 5 million yuan began to operate, all the computing power was mobilized, and the algorithm model began to be calculated.

Their algorithm has been deeply optimized based on the example of Xiao Yi a few days ago, and now its utilization efficiency of computing resources has also been improved.

In this way, as time passed, the results finally came out.

Looking at the final simulation results, Luo Mingya raised his eyebrows and began to analyze.

"Yes, when comparing TDOS and PDOS in 2H/3R, 2H and 3R mixed states, it can be observed that the d orbital of W is the main allowed occupied and unoccupied states near the Fermi energy. This is consistent with related DFT studies based on the bulk crystal structure of MoS2."

"In addition, the DOS and energy band structures of the 2H and 2H/3R polytypes also show that the minimum value of the conduction band CB is located at the same point in the Brillouin zone, between K point and Gamma point. The maximum value of the valence band VB of the 2H polytype occurs at Gamma point, while for the mixed 2H/3R polytype..."

"It seems that our work some time ago was not in vain."

She smiled with satisfaction.

"But the problem is..." At this time, she frowned slightly. "In the case of including spin-orbit coupling, we cannot correctly describe the energy loss spectrum. There seems to be a lot of difference between the calculated values and the experimental values."

"This problem is a little difficult to deal with."

Xu Ming They looked at each other, even the invincible senior sister felt it was difficult to deal with?

However, Xiao Yi said at this time, "Just double the number of required bands."

"After all, correctly calculating the volume plasmon peaks appearing in the energy loss region requires incorporating a larger number of bands into the joint density of states calculation, which is consistent with the concept of plasmons."

Luo Mingya was stunned, "Double the number of bands? Plasmon polaritons..."

After a moment, her eyes lit up. "You are right!"

"Try it now!"

Then she began to adjust the parameters on the computer.

The parameters were adjusted completely, and it started running again. The final result immediately made the calculated value and the experimental value not far apart!

"I'll go, Scholar Xiao, how did you tell?"

Xu Ming and Liu Chao next to them immediately started shouting.

Here it comes again!

None of their senior sisters could think of the problem for a while, but Xiao Yi saw it right away!

If their world is a god, then is Scholar Xiao the god among gods?

Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand, and said modestly, "It's nothing, I just happened to read some books in the past two days and understand a little bit about this aspect."

"In addition, I have two suggestions. Since the purpose of our project involves the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional materials, I think we can conduct doping simulations to calculate the impact of different doping elements and concentrations on the electronic structure of the material. This way we can predict which doping elements can optimize the optoelectronic properties of the material."

"This is the first suggestion. The second suggestion is to use Molecular Dynamics simulation to study the stability of the material under different temperatures and pressures and predict its thermodynamic properties. In addition, you can also perform mechanical property simulations to understand the elastic modulus and fracture toughness of the material."

"These can help us screen out the most promising combinations of materials."

After Xiao Yi made these suggestions, Xu Ming and the others were not yelling, but were shocked.

How many days have you studied?

How come you understand it so well?

"Scholar Xiao, are you open?"

"It's not off or on?"

Xiao Yi asked rhetorically.

Ours has indeed not been turned off after it was turned off. Why do you say I turned it off?
