Chapter 42

Overwhelming computer performance Billionaire. It was a word that usually meant a person with a fortune of more than one billion dollars. Being a billionaire could have done a lot. Acquiring a specific company or investing in a certain technology. ‘What role will Bio-Life play?’ Corona patients continued to appear in Daegu. It was considered a passing disease like SARS or MERS, but its current influence has far exceeded expectations. ‘What if I had invested a little more money in Bio Life?’ If only the facilities and equipment needed for research had been purchased, and manpower had been expanded. There was regret for the past, but it was not something that could be undone. Strictly speaking, prevention and investment in infectious diseases are the responsibility of the state, and it is difficult for ordinary companies to make money. ‘I can’t just stay still now.’ Dr. Lee Ho-yeon has the right to operate Biolife, but I was the one who currently holds 67% of the shares. The investment of 60 billion was put in as a loan as soon as possible, but if it doesn’t make a profit, it’s money that can’t be repaid anyway. I decided to receive it as a share within a month, so I had 85% ownership. The 15% share was due to the contributions of Dr. Lee Ho-yeon and researchers. ‘I said I need a high-performance computer.’ For artificial intelligence to process vast amounts of data quickly, a computer with good performance was needed. In the past, there was an article saying that AlphaGo connected 1,202 CPUs and 176 GPUs when playing Go. Although the specifications of computers have been significantly lowered as deep learning technology has developed. Understanding the structure of humans or viruses requires overwhelming computer performance. ‘Let’s do it. With my connections and money.’ First of all, we have to solve the dormitory issue that was requested. ―Kim Shin: I have a request. ―Jin Yu-kyung: What is it! Maybe ask for a date? I have an appointment today, but… …. ―Jin Yu-kyung: I can take a little time off, so tell me now! ―Kim Shin: Is there a construction company among future automobile subsidiaries? It is a characteristic of large Korean companies that, to a large extent, they have one construction company within the group. As Korea developed rapidly, there was a lot of construction demand, from social overhead capital, including roads, bridges, and ports, to factories, commercial buildings, and apartment construction. There was a necessary demand inside the company, and it was used as a channel to create various slush funds while running a construction company. ―Jin Yoo-gyeong: Future construction? Will you invest in that company as well? Are you asking for inside information? -Kim Shin: It’s not like some buildings needed to be built quickly. ―Jin Yu-gyeong: You’re trying to entrust the construction to the future construction. ―Kim Shin: The scale is not that big. But I want to build it ASAP. There are not many places to follow the future group in the Hurry Hurry culture. He introduced Bio Life and explained that he wanted to build a dormitory. ―Jin Yu-kyung: You are doing a good job. Moving affiliates can be a bit difficult for me. -Kim Shin: Please. ―Jin Yu-gyeong: If it’s a request, I understand. I’ll solve it. I wasn’t used to asking someone for help. It was a caution not to borrow money from others, even if you go hungry, thinking of your father, who suffered from debt collectors. However, networking was also a skill, and I thought that if important things could be resolved quickly, there was no need to cover the means and methods. The next day, I went to work at Dream Art Rainbow and told Jung Beom-tae and the recruited PDs. “For some reason, I will be going to the US for a while. Even if I’m not there, please continue with the businesses and projects you’ve been working on.” Yess. CEO.” After the establishment of the company, active activities were taking place. The stage where you meet and talk about what you want by meeting with leading entertainment PDs from various broadcasting stations. Whether they will change jobs or not will depend on the company’s reputation or performance, but they were putting in effort early on. I boarded a plane to the United States and arrived in San Francisco. I had traveled a lot, so I was used to flying for more than 10 hours. When I got home, I found Myung-Woo Oh crying. “Sobbing.” “Why, what happened? Could it be that the company was fired?” “I saw the ending of this game. The parting is so sad.” A programmer crying while playing a Steam game. After sighing for a while, I said to Oh Myeong-woo. “Let’s make our coin.” “Why coin all of a sudden? It’s hard to make money with it these days.” The coin boom that happened 3 years ago. After the big crash, it has been stagnant, rising, and falling for the next two years. Bitcoin recovered and maintained the 10 million won range, but altcoins stayed at the bottom. “It’s not to make money.” “Then what is it?” “It would be nice to make money. I have a place I need right now.” Coin was the medium that came to mind when it was said that computer resources were needed for artificial intelligence developed by Biolife. “Myungwoo, the performance of personal computers has improved compared to the past.” “It has improved a lot. Running high-end games as ‘full-op’ has become the default. If it’s not a full-on, I’d say it’s missing somewhere.” These days, game graphics are so good that the screen feels like real life. Although there are improvements in software, it would have been impossible without advances in hardware. However, the reality is that the vast majority of users buy expensive computers and do not use more than 10% of their performance, except when playing games. Search the web or watch YouTube. It’s rare to run a program that draws out the computer’s performance properly. After explaining the general situation of Bio-Life to Oh Myung-woo, he continued. “Blockchain technology is used to utilize the system resources of the computers that are used for mining. In return, we give you coins.” “You mean using the computer’s surplus resources? Or use it when not in use.” Yess. It will be cheaper than using cloud services from Amazon or Microsoft, and above all, it will be able to bring out a lot of performance.” Instead of using the resources of a personal computer, coins are issued and paid. We guarantee the lowest purchase price for the coins distributed in this way. It was the way the company gave us dollars and exchanged them. It is said that mining Bitcoin accounts for 0.5% of the world’s electricity consumption. So many computers were hanging on to mining. Myungwoo Oh’s eyes twinkled. “Literally coin. It’s what makes our currency. They use computer resources and pay money in return. To pay the electricity bill, etc., and to earn a little money.” “Yes. You should do that.” “In the future, entertainment, movies, and dramas can be provided in exchange for coins, and game software or figures can be provided.” “Yes?” It was something I hadn’t even thought of. Coins did not have to be exchanged for money. “It sounds like fun. You should try this.” The coin development work started right from the day I arrived in San Francisco. Established a company in Palo Alto through an accounting office and leased a large office. It was necessary to hire full-time employees, but Oh Myung-woo decided to take on the task of gathering people to work from the first day. “Myungwoo. Are you going to post on the part-time job site?” “That is the old way. Don’t worry. I will find useful people soon.” Myung-Woo Oh connected to a site shared by programmers. There were lectures and information about computers, but it was a site that was connected to all kinds of hobbies, including games. His rank is Master rank. For the past 8 years, I have posted more than a thousand articles and answers every year. ―Title: Let’s save the world. We are secretly developing vaccines and treatments to combat the coronavirus that originated in China. Programmers with 5+ years of experience only. If you want to be a superhero, apply. Game software, computer parts, figures, and Legos are given every day if you help with the work. Or you can take $300. After registering the post, comments started running before about 20 seconds passed. – You do a great job. I’m coming. ―Are you buying the game? I feel a warm feeling. -These are good guys. ―Where can I go? ―First of all, from the line. One. -2. -3. -3. ―There are two of them. I am 5. Whether they started a startup and it went bankrupt, or those who are taking a break. Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm Various people applied, and 30 people were immediately closed. Workers were arranging furniture and installing computers in the office. “We brought a computer from home.” “You can just leave it on the floor.” The computer experts brought by Myung-Woo Oh connected monitors, desktops, and the Internet on the bare floor and started working. Fingers dancing on the keyboard. They divided the roles among themselves and organized the team on their own. “Myungwoo. Aren’t you going to Google?” “It’s to save the world. I have to take care of it.” When I was in my teens, this guy wasn’t that fair. I tilted my head. “But is $300 a good enough pay to get people together?” $300 sounds like a lot of money, but in San Francisco. That was not the case considering the prices of Silicon Valley. A city that is difficult for office workers who earn $100,000 a year to live in. It was a city that boasted murderous prices with nothing left after paying rent and taxes. Myungwoo Oh said. “If you give 300 dollars in money, not many people come. But if you buy that much game software or figures, it feels different.” “How is it different from buying with your own money?” “For good programmers, $300 is a small amount of money, but a bunch of games I’ve always wanted to buy is worth a lot.” It wasn’t that much of a problem. Since I was an office worker, I was willing to pay a sufficient salary, above the industry average, to hire someone. However, among the people who gathered, some talented people were difficult to hire. “It’s Eddie Brock. Be friendly if you can.” “Eddie?” “Genius programmer. I guess you could say that every code that person writes has a soul in it.” I don’t know much about the world of programmers, but anyway, the speed of work centered on Eddie was very fast. A desk and a computer were placed in the office, and work was carried out day and night. It was simple to issue a coin, but it was necessary to create and connect a platform that draws computer resources using blockchain technology. “We need to add a function that determines how much CPU the mining system will use and how much the user can use.” “You have to be able to reduce the amount of mining during the game.” “It is a necessary feature. Frame drops are unacceptable, no matter how good you do.” “The company needs a full settlement system and a tracking system that cannot be forged or tampered with.” Since they are experienced in this field, they add the necessary functions on their own. On the second day of work, Myung-Woo Oh talked. “God. You have to decide the name of the coin.” The name revealed the identity of the coin. Bio Coin, Hero Coin, etc. I thought of many things, but I didn’t want to be decided by one personality. “Let’s call it Source Coin.” “Source Coin?” “It’s a coin that can be a source of anything.” I didn’t know much about blockchain. This is how I started to use artificial intelligence in Biolife. Although it may be that the company only pays for the use of the computer by guaranteeing a minimum purchase price. Who knows what might happen in the future?. It felt like a very interesting attempt.
