Origin Accelerator

Before long, Dad also returned.

Dad was a welder at the shipyard, and his work made him look older than his years.

Although he was only 46, he looked like he was 56.

His face was often red and peeling from the glare of the welding torch.

Finally, the whole family was gathered together for a meal.

"Chu Feng, where are you planning to go after graduation? I see our shipyard is hiring test pilots. Your dad knows the manager there, why don't I ask him to put in a word for you to give it a try?"

Chu Feng had just graduated, and in times like these when graduation was practically equivalent to unemployment, parents always worried about their children's futures.

In his previous life, Chu Feng had refused to work at the family factory. He had ambitions higher than the sky, didn't want to stay at home, yearned to go out, and insisted on making his own way in Magic City.

However, as a newcomer with no connections, relying on his naive passion, he ended up bruised and battered.

He had studied navigation and piloting, always longing for the sea, believing that conquering the ocean was a man's goal.

In the end, he chose to go to Magic City to become a sailor.

But without any foundation, he could only start as the lowest-ranking deckhand.

However, the shipping industry had been in a slump in recent years, with wages steadily declining.

After toiling for several years, he finally managed to become a senior pilot, and his situation improved slightly.

But he was also away from home year-round and couldn't take care of his family. He often couldn't even come home for the Lunar New Year. The bitterness of it all was something only those who had experienced it could understand.

Chu Feng had already made up his mind. His personal terminal contained all sorts of advanced technology.

However, the largest amount of storage was for spaceships.

But now that he was back, he had no idea what had happened to the spaceship. It had probably crashed...

Now was the internet age, the lowest cost starting point, and something he could get involved in.

He had artificial intelligence. Based on the Earth technology he was familiar with, the internet was basically his personal playground.

Just Xiao Meng's skills alone were enough to dominate the entire world.

"I want to start my own business."

Chu Feng stated his idea directly. They were his closest family, and his future would definitely not be ordinary.

"You're grown up now and have your own ideas. Dad doesn't understand high-tech stuff, so I won't nag you too much."

Dad nodded, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

"We still have some savings at home. Take it and use it. Young people need some drive, but let's be clear: if it doesn't work out, you'll have to listen to your mom and dad's arrangements!"

"Deal, it's a promise!"

Chu Feng smiled and raised his wine glass, intending to clink glasses...

But the hand he extended into the air froze.

It was over. He had just graduated. He didn't drink alcohol at that time at all.

He had completely forgotten about that now.

At the dinner table, everyone looked at Chu Feng's raised glass.

"Heh, my son is grown up now. A little drink is fine, just don't overdo it."

Dad smoothly smoothed things over, nearly causing Mom's eyeballs to fly out.

"Hehehe..."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Dad!"

After having a little drink with his dad, amidst his mom's nagging, his dad's appeasing smile, and his grandma's placating words, he finished this meal that tasted of home.

After dinner, Dad was a bit drunk and was dragged back to his room by Mom, who was pinching his ear, to rest. Grandma was also old and went for her afternoon nap.

Chu Feng went to his familiar yet unfamiliar room.

In his hand was the bank card his dad had just given him, with 100,000 in it. It wasn't much, but it was his dad's life savings.

The family's financial situation was just like this. To save up for his university tuition and daily expenses had been difficult enough. However, he didn't plan to use this money; he had his own ways.

He opened his dusty computer in his room and entered a long period of waiting.

"Network signal detected. Connect to the network?"

Xiao Meng's voice sounded.

"Connect!"

"Connecting to the network, scanning network..."

"Network scan complete. Time taken: twelve minutes and twenty-one seconds."

"Master, Earth's network is so slow. How can Earthlings tolerate such slowness?"

Chu Feng's face went black. Could this be compared to Planet Taibo?

Chu Feng's family still had a 100M broadband connection, much better than the few megabits he had before.

"First, check all the bad debts."

"Checking, please wait..."

This is the internet age, convenient and fast.

Now, everyone is used to working online.

And with so many bank accounts in the world, there are always some that are not fully used, forgotten passwords, or not left to the next generation, or even completely forgotten.

Perhaps each account doesn't have much.

It might not be much, but it adds up, and it's not to be underestimated.

"Master, a total of twelve hundred trillion accounts were queried, and about seven hundred and eighty-nine billion bad debts were found... converted, it's about nine point six billion Citibank Currency..."

"I didn't expect there to be so much money that will never be used..."

This is wealth that many people can't possess in a lifetime, yet it lies dormant in some unknown account, never to see the light of day again.

Money is dead, people are alive!

Moreover, this money is intended for the construction of one's own country, so Chu Feng felt at ease.

"Contact an intermediary company, register multiple companies in the Cayman Islands, the parent company will be named Origin Technology Co., Ltd., inject all funds, cross-holdings, remember, leave no loose ends!"

"Yes, Master. Registration is complete. With current network technology, it's impossible to trace the funds."

Xiao Meng replied proudly, this was her professional expertise.

"Transfer one hundred million from the company account."

"Yes, Master, taxes deducted, transfer successful!"

Within seconds, the mobile phone received the transfer notification.

"Your savings account ending in 4350 received a UnionPay deposit of 100,000,000.00 Citibank Currency on May 31st at 12:23 PM. Current balance is 100,000,302.69 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank]."

Converted to Huaxia Currency, it's over seven hundred million, enough for him to splurge.

Looking at the sudden influx of funds in his bank account, Chu Feng was quite excited. After all, in his previous life, his account never exceeded six figures.

His phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was 95588, he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Chu. I am a bank representative from the Industrial and Commercial Bank's Port District branch. Your account just received an overseas transfer of one hundred million Citibank Currency. May I ask if this was operated by you personally?"

"Yes, it was me. It's an investment fund allocated by my company."

"Thank you for your trust. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. We are at your service."

After hanging up, Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged.

With such a sudden large influx of funds, the bank would definitely monitor it, but Chu Feng wasn't worried, he trusted Xiao Meng's abilities.

As expected, not long after, the phone rang again. They said the account review was complete and met the requirements.

Then came a lot of investment advice and so on.

Chu Feng directly refused. What a joke, do I need your investment advice?

Furthermore, at Chu Feng's request, it was converted to Huaxia Currency, and the bank even waived the handling fee.

"Xiao Meng, help me write a program to speed up network and operating speeds."

"Master, what's the standard for acceleration? The minimum is 50% acceleration, and the maximum is 3000%."

"Uh, no need to be that exaggerated. Just double speed is fine. Let's call it Origin Accelerator. Make sure to do a good job with the protective measures, don't be too careless!"

"Master, you should believe in Xiao Meng's abilities."

"The computer language still used on Earth is binary, while the more advanced language is Yilai Language, which is intelligent language."

"Unless there is a specialized language program for learning, it's impossible to crack."

Chu Feng chuckled speechlessly. He didn't actually understand Yilai Language. Just like many people know about computer languages, but if you ask them to write code, they probably wouldn't know a single character. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

In just a few minutes, Xiao Meng had designed the accelerator. It ran perfectly on the computer, and because it used a different language for compilation, the file compression method was also different.

It only occupied about ten megabytes of space, but it could do what dozens of gigabytes could do.

The entire Origin Accelerator was a silver oval, somewhat inspired by Chu Feng's original spaceship, full of technological feel. Clicking the button in the middle caused it to spin rapidly, and acceleration was successful in less than a second.

He tried it on his own computer. A very ordinary computer's speed took off, much faster than his previous sluggish one, and it was very smooth to use.

This was also the special effect of the Origin Accelerator, compressing and transmitting original data.

Originally, it could only transmit 1MB of files per second, but after the accelerator's re-encoding, 1MB could achieve the effect of 1GB for others.

Although the hardware hadn't changed, the equivalent performance had improved, which was essentially acceleration.

As expected, web pages opened much faster. He also played the currently popular League of Legends, with almost zero latency, it was incredibly enjoyable.

"That's it. Xiao Meng, put it on the Red Hacker Alliance, and set it for a one-month free trial."

"Yes, Master!"

The Red Hacker Alliance was a well-known online communication forum in China. Most programs and games were first released on the Red Hacker Alliance for everyone to download for free, to find loopholes or shortcomings in the programs. It was also one of the websites with the largest traffic.

Lu Guang was a regular visitor to the Red Hacker Alliance. He was also a famous figure on Weibo, specializing in testing various programs for everyone and rating them. His videos usually garnered millions of views, and he had over three million followers.

Today, Lu Guang was bored. He hadn't found anything good yet, and he was secretly anxious about the next video.

The audience nowadays was too difficult to please. If they were slightly dissatisfied, they would unfollow and criticize.

If he didn't produce the next video, or if he just randomly picked something, he'd probably be cursed to death.
