February 28th.
USTC, Dormitory 313, Building 3.
The four roommates reunited today.
Ye Cheng They were very excited to see Xiao Yi again. They pestered Xiao Yi to ask a lot of things, such as the details of how he originally proved Twin Prime Conjecture, and how he later came up with the Xiao's expansion method.
Being pestered by them, there was nothing they could do. In the end, Xiao Yi had no choice but to put down his research for the time being and tell them the whole story.
Listening to Xiao Yi's experiences, Ye Cheng and the others were even more excited, as if they were immersed in the scene, they were Xiao Yi, and they were the ones pretending to be cool.
"By the way, where is Landau-Siegel-Zero Conjecture?" Ye Cheng asked again, "I saw the chat in the group before and it said that Professor Zhang Yitang made a report to Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science last week. Brother Xiao, why don't you go?"
"Oh, it was still the Chinese New Year at that time, so I was too lazy to go."
Xiao Yi waved his hand.
He also learned about Zhang Yitang's report. He heard that the final evaluation was very good and it was praised by quite a few participating scholars.
In the past two days, Zhang Yitang also called him specifically and said that he was ready to return to the United States. There were still several big reports to be given there, and he was going to Berkeley, Princeton, and MIT, three top mathematics schools.
In the phone call, Zhang Yitang also said, "At that time, they may ask some questions about Circle Method Expansion. If they stump me, I may still need your help."
In response, Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, but I don't think there is any problem that can stump you."
Zhang Yitang laughed, "There are so many questions like this. After all, I am not omniscient and omnipotent in mathematics. I don't know much."
"..."
Counting the time now, Zhang Yitang is probably already sitting on the plane. I hope that when he goes there to make a report, he won't really encounter any questions that he can't answer.
Otherwise, based on the time difference, God knows what time it will be when he reports over there.
Seeing Xiao Yi's indifferent look, Ye Cheng and the others couldn't help but feel pity.
"What a great opportunity to show off, Brother Xiao, you just gave up."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.
"This is called academic exchange, how can it be called pretentiousness? Vulgar language!"
Then he changed the subject again and said, "What's more, it's not like I've never reported it before."
"It's just Zero Conjecture~"
He waved his hands, his face full of indifference.
Ye Cheng The three people suddenly fell silent.
Damn it, they've been tricked again, why are they sitting around doing nothing and looking for this kind of unhappiness.
"Brother Xiao, you must treat us to dinner today!"
"You promised to treat us to a big dinner when you come back."
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, remembering what happened before, and then waved his hand. "Okay, okay, let's set off now. You can eat whatever you want today!"
"Yeah!"
Ye Cheng The three people jumped up excitedly, and then went to get ready.
Looking at their looks, Xiao Yi shook his head. He was so ignorant. He even called him foster father.
However, at this moment, his cell phone rang again.
At first glance, it was Luo Mingchuan calling.
After I connected the phone, I heard the extremely excited voice of Luo Mingchuan: "Mr. Xiao, great news! Now the number of users on Yishui Bit has exceeded 500,000! And I estimate that it will continue to rise in the next period of time. I don't know if you have paid attention to the currency circle forum. Now 70 to 80% of the discussions are about Yishui Bit!"
Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yi was immediately even more grateful that he had found the other party in advance to take charge of the next thing. With 500,000 users, God knows how troublesome it would be for him to do it.
It's just 40% of the shares.
"That's good, thank you Mr. Luo for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. After all, it's what we do in this industry." Luo Mingchuan laughed, "Then don't bother Mr. Xiao. If there is good news next, I will tell you."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi listened to Ye Cheng over there and asked, "Brother Xiao, who is Mr. Luo?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just one person. I cooperated with him to start a small company." Xiao Yi waved his hand. "Are you ready?"
Small company?
Ye Cheng When they heard this, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Brother Xiao, have you become a small boss?"
"Now I have to kill you even more."
"Go, go, go!"
With that said, the group of them left the dormitory.
On the other side, Jinling, Luoming Data Center.
Luo Mingchuan hung up the phone and walked into the computer room next to him with a happy face.
Just by providing some data services, you can get 40% of the shares, which is really a huge profit!
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became brighter.
As for the current computer room, it is the server he specially prepared for Yishui Bit. All data is stored here. As for computing power, as a mining software, there are basically no requirements for computing power. After all, everything is distributed on those mining machines. They only need to be responsible for storing various data generated during the mining process.
As soon as he entered the computer room, a staff member quickly came up and said to him, "Mr. Luo, the capacity of this computer room is almost insufficient."
Luo Mingchuan stared. "What? Isn't this enough?"
The staff member nodded and said, "Yes, just now the number of users suddenly increased by more than 100,000. It is estimated that another mining farm is all-in."
"I'm sorry." Luo Mingchuan shouted immediately, "Quick, quick, quick, open the backup computer room, just in case there is another wave..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, another employee exclaimed, "It's full! The server is full!"
"Ah?" Luo Mingchuan's eyes widened immediately. Is this full?
"According to the IP address, these newly connected mining machines come from Sichuan Province! It should be the address of Bitmain!"
Bitmain...
Luo Mingchuan's eyes went dark.
This is the country... No, it should be the largest Bitcoin mine in the world. Even the famous Antminer in the currency circle was developed and sold by Bitmain.
Now Luo Mingchuan is beginning to worry about whether his data center, which is worth only a few hundred million, can really afford such a large amount of data?
If the current pace continues, will it be equivalent to exchanging this data center worth several hundred million for these 40% shares?
He suddenly felt numb.
However, in the end, he still shook his head helplessly. What was he thinking? If he really needed to smash the entire data center into it, then the final profit would be very terrifying.
Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about this matter at all.
Suddenly, another employee ran over and shouted, "Mr. Luo, now the people from Bitmain are calling us to ask what's going on here. They can't log in to Yishui Bit."
Someone shouted again, "Mr. Luo, now there is another overseas IP trying to log in to Yishui Bit. Now even foreign countries know about it, what should we do?"
Luo Mingchuan finally came to his senses, and finally shouted immediately, "Now, everyone goes to the backup computer room, turn on all those servers, and prepare to connect more servers. Maybe, even the backup computer room will soon be insufficient."
"As for overseas IP..."
Luo Mingchuan has another headache. Is he planning to build a data center abroad?
This day is an unforgettable day for people in the currency circle.
There has been a lot of noise on various related forums.
Discussions about Yishui Bit have spread among almost everyone.
[Bitmain has officially announced that they will invest half of the original Bitcoin mining machines into Yishuibit. According to their internal personnel, their mining algorithm is at least 60% less efficient than Yishuibit's algorithm.]
[I also heard here that Bitmain has also begun to change algorithms on a large scale.]
[It is said that Yishuibit's server exploded immediately, and Bitmain even called to ask what was going on.]
[Laughing, luckily I got in early. Stud is a kind of wisdom.]
[It's incredible, how strong is Yishui Bit's algorithm? It directly changed our entire industry.]
[Do you think Xiao Yi is joking with you? Once the genius takes action, you will know whether it is there or not.]
[I heard that some people in the industry analyzed that the algorithm of Xiao Yi must have used a mathematical method called Parity Check Classification Sieve in mathematics. This method seems to have been developed by Xiao Yi. He also used this method to prove the Twin Prime Conjecture in mathematics, which was the big news in January and was even on the hot search list at that time.]
[Isn't it just a mere algorithm, how awesome can it be? No more talking, I have to go mining on Yishuibit]
[I'm coming too]
[Can you believe it? There is a person who uses Yishuibit to mine solo. He only has three mining machines. After two days of mining, he actually dug out a block of 6.25 Bitcoin!]
[ah?]
[My passionate horse]
[Stop talking, I'm going to go solo now. With all this wealth, it will finally be my turn, right?]
[I heard that foreign countries have already heard about this news, and they are probably trying their best to connect to Yishui Bit. I just don't know if they have to use ladders to log in to our domestic software from abroad.]
As time went by, Yishui Bit's fame gradually spread from domestic to foreign countries, and gradually caused fluctuations around the world.
There are various people who have self-developed mining algorithms and began to try to come up with the same algorithm from the perspective of classification and screening. However, no matter what they thought, they could not come up with a comparable algorithm.
Probably, they couldn't imagine that the Xiao Yi algorithm is not just a classification sieve, but also includes the circle method.
If they can understand the "No Landau-Siegel Zero Point" paper by Xiao Yi and Zhang Yitang, they may be able to learn something from it, but obviously, this is basically difficult.
However, for Xiao Yi, no matter how popular Yishuibit is, it has nothing to do with him.
After handing over the matter to Luo Mingchuan, he only needs to wait for the money to come in.
And he put all his thoughts into the research of Computational Materials Science.
Whether it is doping simulation, Molecular Dynamics simulation or mechanical simulation, the calculation model needs to be rebuilt.
However, for Xiao Yi, completing these things is not that troublesome.
In this way, half a month passed.
