Chapter 13: Brother Zao's Shock
"This is an algorithm I sorted out based on mathematical models, please take a look."
Lin Meng looked at Lu Yi for a while at a cafe on Binjiang Road outside the campus of Zhongda South. Then she opened a document on her laptop and displayed the algorithm he had sorted out.
This is almost the source code, and the idea and conversion algorithm are included. The only difference is that it is implemented using program programming.
The compression algorithm is mainly an algorithm that reduces data storage and transmission through data encoding and storage rules.
For example, the four Chinese characters "hahahaha" need to occupy 8 bytes in computer storage and transmission. After converting and encoding through compression algorithms, they can be stored as "ha 4" for storage or transmission, and then they become 3 bytes of data.
When used or after transmission is completed, the compression algorithm is used to restore it in reverse, and the data will be restored to the initial "hahahahaha".
There are not many core algorithms, more than 200 lines, and only more than 400 lines of comment explanation.
However, when Lin Meng learns mathematics, he needs to understand the coding rules and rules of information encoding before he can organize this algorithm. In addition, the algorithm's logical verification and error checking can be seen from this, we can see how much effort Lin Meng has spent on this algorithm.
"What is the lossless compression rate of this algorithm?"
After looking at the dark circles and bags on Lin Meng's face, Lu Yi did not point out the situation, but asked about some of the situations of this algorithm.
In the description of the system, the compression algorithm created based on the advanced mathematical model can reach up to 5% of the lossless compression ratio, which means that 100k data can be directly converted into 5k after compression, or lossless compression.
"It was calculated that about 7 percent."
Lin Meng shook her head regretfully and said, "I feel that I can further optimize it, but I can't find a clue in a short period of time. It seems that I have not fully understood this mathematical model."
“It’s already very good.”
A hint of surprise appeared on Lu Yi's face, and his psychological bottom line was 10%, which is 10 to 1.
After all, this is lossless compression, and it is destined to be impossible to achieve the compression ratio of dozens of lossy compression.
"No, I will study it again when I go back." Lin Meng flattened her mouth and was unwilling to give up.
At this time, the two waiters also brought up a cup of coffee, a cup of milk tea and some desserts that Lu Yi had ordered.
"Let's have something to eat first, and I'll continue to study later. I'll use a USB flash drive to copy the mathematical model for you."
"Thank you Lu Yi."
Lin Meng picked up her cup of milk tea and took a sip, taking a sip. The mellow and sweet smell made her smile happily.
"By the way, have you found the person responsible for compiling the program?" Lin Meng asked curiously after taking a sip of milk tea.
"I found a female classmate in my class. He had a younger brother studying computers on the east campus."
Lu Yi reached out and placed the dessert in front of Lin Meng. Perhaps it was because the monster's brain needed to consume a lot of blood sugar, or perhaps it was because of the common nature of girls. Lu Yi had already seen Lin Meng's love for desserts several times after eating.
"Female classmate?"
Lin Meng blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Yi and asked, "How is her brother's programming level?"
"I heard it's quite amazing. He comes from the East Campus tomorrow and I'll talk to him."
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he reached out and put a small matcha cake in front of Lin Meng.
"Come on, try this matcha cake, the matcha cake in this restaurant is pretty good."
"Yeah." Lin Meng nodded obediently, forked the cake with a fork and tasted it.
"System, have you deducted my points secretly?"
Lu Yi looked at Lin Meng finishing a small piece of matcha cake, but he still did not receive a prompt to collect points. He immediately questioned the inflationary system, suspected that it was deducting its points secretly.
Inviting foodies to eat delicious food but they are not satisfied with the index? This is simply unreasonable!
"The system will not deduct host points at will. Please check your behavior by yourself."
The suspected system replied calmly. At this moment, it was doubting whether it had found the wrong host. It would be fine if IQ and thinking mode did not meet the standards and could not become a scientist. I didn't expect that even EQ seemed to have defects.
"Lu Yi." After eating the cake, Lin Meng suddenly asked, "Will your classmate come out with her brother tomorrow?"
"right."
"Then call me when you go out tomorrow. I'm afraid that my brother will have something to do with this algorithm."
After Lin Meng said that, she picked up the milk tea and bit the straw and drank it. There was no sign of any strange expression on her face.
......
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Meng was sent back to the dormitory. Lu Yi went back to the dormitory and put down his laptop. He took out the plan he had sorted out and analyzed in the past few days. He said to Brother Zao who was reading: "Brother Zao, do you have any spare funds to borrow some of me?"
Brother Zao raised his head and asked curiously: "What's wrong? How much do you want?"
"It costs about 1 million." Lu Yi roughly estimated and reported a number.
“1 million!”
Xu Jiajun, who was reading the novel next to him, subconsciously exclaimed, walked over with a hurried expression and said, "Lu Lu, what happened to you?"
"You want to start a business?" Compared to Xu Jiajun's concern, Brother Zao was more calm and guessed Lu Yi's purpose.
Putting down the book, Brother Zao said seriously: "I can't get 1 million for the time being. Lu Lu, tell me your project. If it is feasible, I'll ask for it for my dad."
Lu Yi walked to the door and locked the dormitory door, and then gave the planned project to Brother Zao.
"This week, Lin Meng and I studied a mathematical model. This model is very suitable for application to compression algorithms. The core of the algorithm has been sorted out and can be compressed to 7% losslessly."
"Hiss...lossless compression to 7%!"
Xu Jiajun next to him couldn't help but take a breath. Anyone who has a certain understanding of the Internet understands what this means.
"Collapse and restore, can the data be 100% lossless?"
Brother Zao read the project plan and asked, and this project plan only has approximate information about the compression algorithm and preliminary project development plan, and does not involve specific data.
"100% lossless." Lu Yi nodded.
"You are going to go against the will of heaven."
Brother Zao closed the notebook that wrote Lu Yi’s preliminary project plan in his hand and said, “How about 10 million, 2% of the shares?”
The excellent sense of business made Brother Zao see the potential value of this compression algorithm, and he did not hesitate to give a valuation of 500 million to invest.
It is difficult to break through the underlying technology, but once it is broken through, it is destined to be unstoppable. Others will ask grandpa to come and give money to the door.
For industries with huge bandwidth and traffic such as live broadcasts, short videos, and videos, this compression algorithm is a Shangfang sword. Whoever wants to be born, whoever wants to be born, and whoever wants to die will die.
"Ten million, 0.1 percent shares."
When it comes to business, Lu Yi did not mix too many personal feelings with his own interests, but increased the valuation by another 20 times according to his actual plan.
This is still the current valuation. If it really develops as planned, it will be fine if this valuation will increase by 10 times.
"The valuation of 10 billion is too high. You should know that algorithms cannot register patents. Once they are cracked, they will lose all their bargaining chips."
The compression algorithm cannot register a patent, so it can only rely on encryption to ensure that its own interests are not violated. However, no matter how good the encryption is, it cannot resist other people's cracking and analysis.
It is even easier to crack a compression algorithm than to crack other algorithm programs, because by comparing the data before and after compression, you can analyze a lot of valuable information and then perform targeted cracking.
"I don't plan to apply it in the network field. You said that you can burn it into chips, combine software and hardware to register patents, and then apply it to the communication field. Will the value increase greatly?"
Lu Yi reached out and took out his phone and placed it in front of Brother Zao.
"You mean?"
Brother Zao showed shock on his face, and then shook his head: "This is impossible, it cannot be done. The 5G communication standard has been determined long ago, and the communication network has almost been fully upgraded.
We do not have the ability to change global standards, and it is impossible for operators to upgrade their communication networks before 5G can recover their investments."
"I made an appointment with Yashan to meet tomorrow. The algorithm is compiled to be responsible for her younger brother. I'll ask her if she is interested in becoming CEO."
"Yashan? Li Yashan?" Brother Zao frowned and fell into deep thought.
As a qualified rich second generation, he pays attention to some special classes of students in the school. He dare not say that the whole school knows them, but he still knows who is this part of the student in the class, and Li Yashan is one of them.
"If Li Yashan can be CEO, then it will be 0.1%, if not, then it will be 1%. The valuation will be raised to 1 billion as a prospective investment in the communications field."
Brother Zao thought for a while, and finally agreed to the valuation of 10 billion yuan.
This idea is really too tempting. If Li Yashan joins, even if this idea is not realized, it will not be a loss in the end with the cooperative relationship with Li Yashan.
Most importantly, Lu Yi's idea showed him a way, a way to escape from the title of a rich second generation with expectations.
Chapter completed!
