"Really?"
Ruan Wenye asked in surprise, then started calculating with his fingers, "For the balance design of the anti-gravity device, the electronic software part, we’re supposed to write out the core algorithm, right? Even if it’s just the core algorithm, it would be over twenty thousand lines of code..."
"Twenty thousand lines of code, five million..."
"An average of two hundred and fifty per line of code? If each line has about twenty-five characters... ten per character?"
"This is doable!"
Ruan Wenye said, his eyes shining with greed as he patted Zhao Yi’s shoulder, speaking ingratiatingly, "Zhao Yi, Brother Zhao, what’s our relationship! How about it? Add me in. I can do algorithm design too."
Huang Zhong swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "I can too!"
"I..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Zhang Qican suddenly looked up and said, "know a bit too..."
Zhao Yi looked at the three of them with a ’disappointed with untalented students’ expression, as if to scorn them for being defeated by money, he sighed and still said, "Alright, I’ll assign some work to you, but let me make it clear, five million, divided by contribution."
"Also, a maximum of two hours a day, it can’t affect our theoretical research."
"Sure!"
"OK!"
"No problem!"
...
Zhao Yi got the solution to the balance problem from the anti-gravity team.
Based on the original design, he quickly made a series of modifications and then started designing the balance system.
This was an easy task. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
At the beginning of the design process, he spent two hours setting up the main framework, then assigned several people from the theory group with a few algorithm packages each.
The work began.
The design of the balance system couldn’t affect theoretical research, so they only spent two hours a day on the algorithm design, effectively a break to switch mental gears during their research downtime.
Although it was only a side task, the design of the balance system was much simpler compared to the theoretical design, and there was substantial progress every day.
In just one short week, Zhao Yi had already completed more than half, and then he paid attention to the progress of the others.
The result was disappointing.
Ruan Wenye was uncommonly the most efficient, having completed seven algorithm packages.
Zhang Qican was a bit worse, only finishing four.
Huang Zhong, one.
Zhao Yi carefully examined Huang Zhong’s algorithm package and found a series of problems. Normally, it would definitely be considered substandard. In the end, he could only give a bitter smile and said, "Old Huang, ahem, let’s just say you’ve completed it."
Huang Zhong was also very embarrassed.
Although he participated in the design of the balance system, he was not skilled in software design. He understood computer algorithms somewhat, but his ability to write program code was far too lacking.
This was mainly due to a poor foundation.
At the beginning, he had spent two days just to figure out how to use the coding software. The fact that he could barely complete one algorithm package had already drained him of much energy.
"How about this!"
"Old Huang, let’s count it as two," Zhao Yi volunteered to add one more, "You should stick to theoretical research. Programming isn’t suited for you."
"Alright then!"
Huang Zhong could only accept with resignation.
Actually, joining the balance system design was mainly because Ruan Wenye’s pitch was too tempting: ten for each character. Completing one algorithm package could easily bring in more than ten thousand yuan.
Ruan Wenye was very proud of his results, bragging several times, "I often study algorithms; I could be a senior algorithm engineer."
"Zhao Yi, how about you? How’s it going?" He actually wanted to compare.
Zhao Yi said indifferently, "Almost done."
"What’s almost done?" Ruan Wenye asked, puzzled.
"The rest, I’ve already finished. I just need to incorporate your algorithm packages before we can test and see how it runs."
"—?"
Ruan Wenye opened his mouth in surprise, unable to believe it until he took a closer look and realized Zhao Yi had indeed finished the other parts. Were there over thirty little algorithm packages?
"Impossible!"
"You did all this in the past few days? Two hours a day?"
Disbelief filled his eyes.
"Really?"
Zhao Yi wondered, "Is there any difficulty in it?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Qican were collectively silent.
Soon after.
Zhao Yi also finished the work that the others hadn’t completed in one go.
The subsequent debugging and operation still offered no challenge to him; it almost seemed as if he could pinpoint and rectify errors without any need to think.
Ruan Wenye and the others finally understood why Zhao Yi could work so fast.
"This guy is not human; he’s a freak! An absolute freak!"
"No wonder he claimed he would complete the balance system alone, probably didn’t consider us at all from the start..."
Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican fell into silence together.
The core algorithm of the balance system encompassed a total of 22,000 lines of code, and it took less than two weeks to complete and debug it without any issues; it was then handed over to the anti-gravity team.
Dong Lihua was utterly shocked when he received the news, and he hurriedly had the relevant personnel do an assessment.
"Director Dong, the design has been modified, perfecting our original one, and extensively so, with hardly any issues to be found."
"If it’s as described, it should be fine, even perfect."
"The system debugger has found no issues; each part of the algorithm package can run independently, and we haven’t discovered any errors so far."
"As a whole..."
"Theoretically, the performance should be excellent, but we still need to test it in practice..."
Contemplating, Dong Lihua said, "So the inference is that the balance issue has been resolved? And there is nothing wrong with the algorithm?"
"Nothing wrong at all, it even greatly exceeds expectations!"
"Oh~~"
Dong Lihua’s eyes suddenly became complex with emotion. Software design surely had nothing to do with experiments; it couldn’t wait for the experiments to conclude before settlement, because the experiments were indefinitely far in the future, but the core algorithm was free from issues.
So, the money had to be transferred?
Although the project funds were not personal, watching a sum of five million be transferred to Zhao Yi... he couldn’t help but feel envious!
Seeing someone else earn five million in just two weeks, then looking back at one’s own lifetime of hard work, which at best saw savings in the six-figure range, the feelings were certainly complex.
Dong Lihua felt quite downcast, all he could do was sigh and say, "Academician Zhao... isn’t human!"
Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and the others shared the same sentiment, and they had just realized that Zhao Yi’s talent in computer science might even surpass his talents in mathematics and physics.
Two weeks, five million!
They thought carefully about each algorithm package, which could earn them tens of thousands of dollars each, and immediately, their moods improved considerably. As long as they didn’t compare themselves to Zhao Yi, there were no problems at all.
In fact, Zhao Yi really didn’t care about the five million; he simply believed that work should be compensated.
That was all.
Given the level of Zhao Yi’s wealth, he had long grown indifferent to five million, earning such an amount every day wouldn’t even tally up to twenty billion a year.
Recently, Zhao Yi’s wealth had been growing faster than ’five million a day.’
Even though he was continuously engaged in theoretical research on anti-gravity and had no thoughts about making money, his assets were still skyrocketing.
This was thanks to the rapid rise in the global stock market, as well as the IPO of Yutu Robotics.
The stocks managed by Star Billion Investment Group increased in market value by over sixty percent in one year, exceeding three hundred million U.S. dollars in total worth.
The IPO of Yutu Robotics at the start of the year, coupled with the surge in stock prices, gave Zhao Yi explosive growth in assets, with the shares he owned in Yutu Robotics now valued at over seven hundred million U.S. dollars.
Added together, it already surpassed one billion U.S. dollars.
And that was a conservative estimate.
Zhao Yi also owned Star Billion Technology Group, which was continuously earning patents income, domestically he controlled valuable stocks and had invested in several promising companies, and not to mention some physical assets. Even he couldn’t clearly count how much wealth he truly had.
...
A week later, the data released by Forbes magazine caused a sensation.
The new annual global billionaires list was published, and Zhao Yi’s name was prominently on it. He ranked 1180th with a total net worth of 1.38 billion U.S. dollars.
