Putting aside the antivirus software, as long as there is the approval of the Red Hacker Alliance, there is no need to worry about it. The operating environment requirements of the mother nest are very low. Now, with the use of 10,000 or 20,000 people, my computer can still handle it. But if the number of people increases, my home computer will not be able to meet the needs of a large number of users. What I need to consider now is to buy a server, which can at least solve the online connection of hundreds of thousands of people.
The price of the server is expensive or cheap. If you want a better one, it is not something Zhou Yuanqiang can afford. Zhou Yuanqiang does not plan to buy a server, but he remembers that Chen Wenbo still has an idle server. Looking at the appearance of his treasure, it should not be too bad, right?
"Having a big doomsday as a backing is different. Many things don't cost a penny at all." Zhou Yuanqiang was a little complacent. Thinking of the appearance of Chen Wenbo's treasured server, Zhou Yuanqiang had a headache again. If he wanted to get it smoothly, he would still have to go through some trouble. But for tens of thousands of dollars, what is this trouble?
After searching the Internet for the price of indium, I found a bunch of information about recycling indium residues, indium slag, and indium waste at high prices. Their recycling prices, such as indium slag, range from a few hundred to a thousand yuan per kilogram. What he had in his hands was finished indium, so Zhou Yuanqiang ignored these buyers directly. Instead, he set his sights on bulk traders. Only they could consume a ton of indium.
Indium is scarce. According to the market conditions of rare metals, the overseas price is at least 5,000 to 8,000 US dollars per kilogram. However, the malicious price-cutting by foreign forces has forced the price down to a price similar to cabbage. Indium, which is extremely scarce, has fallen to a cheap price like ordinary metals.
The domestic price of indium has been stimulated by the closure of a large number of mines in recent years and the warming economy. Although it is not as high as 8,000 yuan before, the price is also fluctuating between 5,000 yuan, which is more than half higher than the 3,000 yuan that Zhou Yuanqiang had imagined before. This means that the one ton of indium in Zhou Yuanqiang's hands is worth 5 million, far exceeding Zhou Yuanqiang's expectations. (The actual price is slightly higher for the plot. Please don't be angry if you are knowledgeable. Thank you!)
Who would dislike having too much money? This is of course a good thing. Zhou Yuanqiang is short of money now.
There are many bulk traders, most of whom are overseas companies. There are not many domestic companies. One ton of indium is worth 5 million, which seems to be a lot, but for large trading companies, it may not even be a bulk commodity. Some companies' single trade will be as high as hundreds of millions or even billions. 5 million is just a drop in the bucket.
After browsing the registered companies on the bulk trading website, I found that there were actually three companies in the city that had posted information on the purchase of indium, with a demand of more than 5 tons. There are also many factories and companies in the electronics manufacturing industry. Of course, they will buy indium, but their quantities vary, and the most are hundreds of kilograms, which does not meet Zhou Yuanqiang's idea of quickly taking action and getting the money immediately.
I wrote down the phone numbers of these three companies and wanted to call them while the going got tough. But when I looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, and they were probably off work long ago.
Maybe Zhou Yuanqiang was very sleepy because of the shock and excitement he had received during the day. He searched on the bulk trading network again and had to turn off the computer and lie on the bed.
Just as he closed his eyes, the exciting and thrilling scene of today appeared in his mind. Zhou Yuanqiang's understanding of the end of the world was still very limited. He had no concept of the level of zombies. Even in his imagination, the special infected were just some zombies with larger mutations. But today's action taught him a lesson. If the team was not just next to the industrial zone, but went deep into the industrial zone, a catalyst could easily wipe out the entire team.
For the first time, Zhou Yuanqiang deeply discovered that the danger and cruelty of the end of the world were not as he imagined. The scattered zombies around the settlement were just the most common type, and it was naturally easy for humans to deal with them. But what if there are special infected people and advanced zombies among them? How fragile are the weapons that humans can't rely on in the face of overwhelming zombie numbers? Countless powerful teams have become the nouns of history. Isn't this lesson enough for people to pay attention to?
Lying quietly on the bed, Zhou Yuanqiang realized at this moment how risky his actions were. If a small link went wrong, a team of more than a dozen people would become food for zombies.
This is just a small microcosm of the end of the world. The end of the world is like the deep sea. Humans' understanding of it is only one-sided. Five years of retreat and defense have made humans lose their cognition of this world. They don't even know how many kinds of zombies there are, and what abilities they have. Today's humans live independently in settlements, like closed-door operations, and the news they know is just the stories of the corpse hunters.
Holding this unknown confusion about the end of the world, Zhou Yuanqiang, who was tired all day, fell asleep in a daze.
Zhou Yuanqiang has a strong recovery ability, which may be attributed to the effect of DNA strengthening. When he woke up the next morning, he didn't feel tired at all, and he became energetic. As usual, he went downstairs to have breakfast, turned on the computer and took five tasks, and then he was teleported to the end of the world.
The people in the whole small team did not have Zhou Yuanqiang's abnormal recovery ability. When Zhou Yuanqiang arrived, they were still sleeping in the tent and had no intention of getting up.
Zhou Yuanqiang did not disturb them, but handed the USB disk with the task to Chen Wenbo. After more than half an hour, he finally got the only empty server in Chen Wenbo's hand. The server technology in the end of the world has not made a leap forward, but there has been considerable progress. Although this server is only of medium-to-high performance in the end of the world, it is enough to be compared with the top servers in modern times.
He ordered Chen Wenbo, Xiao Cheng and others to do some hard labor and reinstall the mother nest in the server. Although no network test was conducted, there should be no problem with Chen Wenbo and his team's ability.
After solving the server problem, considering that he still had a lot of trivial matters, he wrapped the server with a piece of rag and did not need to trouble others. He carried the server back to the rental house in the central town. When the cooling time was up, he hurried back to the modern times.
Everything on the server has been debugged. After plugging in the power supply and connecting to the network, the data was transferred from the personal computer to the server. The functions of the mother nest were immediately turned on and ran automatically. According to the data provided by Chen Wenbo, this server is enough to support data requests from more than 3 million users, and the load level is 4 million, which is enough for early use.
