Riding the wind of rebirth

"Anyway, it's good news." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Xiao Miao, just relax the restrictions. This amount doesn't seem to have much of an impact."

"Yeah." Mai Xiaomiao took the glass that Li Laosan handed to her and tapped the keyboard a few times with one hand: "Okay."

In later generations, the profit from a single quantitative transaction is actually very low. The profit from hundreds of thousands of transactions in a day may only be $100,000 or $200,000.

The reason is nothing else but that there are too many people doing quantitative trading.

The current situation is like the early days of Bitcoin mining in later generations. There are opportunities everywhere, but only a very small number of people are doing it, and the returns are very high.

Looking at the slowly growing transaction volume and rapidly growing revenue on Zhouzhi's screen, Li Laosan finally raised his glass: "Come on, cheers for our wealth code!"

"cheers!"

After taking a sip of what is almost the most expensive red wine in the world today, Zhou Zhi had to admit that he was not very good at it. In his opinion, the fruity aroma of this wine was not as strong as the wine soaked with dried longans and raisins prepared with the secret recipe of his fourth cousin.

However, Li Laosan was drinking in high spirits: "Xiao Miao, I toast to you. The production went so smoothly, which was beyond my expectation."

"It's just a transplantation job, not too troublesome." Mai Xiaomiao clinked his cup with Li Laosan's. "I thought I was losing money training Xiaozhi Elbow before, but now I've finally found an application that can make money. I should thank you, Brother San."

"That's really hurtful." Zhou Zhi clinked his glasses with Mai Xiaomiao. "Didn't we have to put Xiaozhi's training on hold because we had to allocate all the resources to the national project? Besides, isn't that called training over there? Bubble blowing training is also training!"

Mai Xiaomiao was amused by Zhou Zhi. A major project of the Ship Power Research Institute is to use the design of the propeller to offset the generation of bubbles during high-speed rotation as much as possible. Taking a step back, even if the generation of bubbles is inevitable, they also want to say that the corresponding "controlled water flow" can be generated through the shape of the blade itself, which can pass the bubbles through the water flow and only allow bubbles to be generated at the edge of the blade with the highest speed, and immediately be directed away from the surface by the water flow after generation.

Since the generation of bubbles is nonlinear, previous computer simulations could not achieve the desired effect. This task was handed over to the neuron-like computing network. Zhou Zhi vividly explained it as "teaching Xiaozhi to blow bubbles."

This work is actually of great significance. Even if there are giant wind tunnels in the future that can realistically simulate the performance of airflow on the surface of aircraft, wind tunnels are still powerless in areas such as high-altitude conditions, stratospheric conditions, or when there are impurities in the air such as sandstorm control, or special airflow conditions such as the impact of nuclear explosions.

All of these aspects can be simulated through quasi-nonlinear systems, which often produce results that even surprise scientists.

For example, the current rate of return on this quantitative trading system far exceeds Li Laosan’s most optimistic estimate.

There is no doubt that quantitative trading will definitely affect the trading volume of stocks, but in a long-term positive stock market, the process of such volume amplification only needs to control the rhythm, which is reasonable in the eyes of everyone, because the bull market will inevitably bring about an increase in trading volume.

It should be noted that the expansion and contraction of trading volume cannot be too sudden, which is what Zhou Zhi called the trading curve. This curve must be smooth. If the system suddenly stops operating at the end of business every day, causing a cliff-like drop in pending orders, and further attracts the attention and panic of institutions, then it is artificially creating panic and manipulating the stock market, and the crime can be major or minor, civil or criminal.

Therefore, this system has many design details, which are worth Li Laosan and Zhou Zhi's attention.

What made Li Laosan feel a little disappointed was that although the wine was good enough, the side dishes were a little worse, with nuts and dried meat, which were not worthy of the reputation of Romanee-Conti. However, Zhou Zhi thought that was nonsense, so he went to find a ham, cut it into small cubes, and then used a plane to plane it into thin shavings, and put it on a white porcelain plate to make ham flowers and served it to Li Laosan.

This time it felt right. Li Laosan was amazed by Zhou Zhi's beauty: "You had Spanish ham and didn't tell me?"

"This is Xuanwei ham." Zhou Zhi corrected jokingly, "I asked Mr. Cao, who sells mutton soup and chicken shreds in Jiukou Township, to mix it for me."

"This will be the standard from now on." Li Laosan was so happy that he held the red wine glass in one hand and picked up a piece of ham shavings with a toothpick in the other hand: "This ham is no worse than Spanish ham."

Mai Xiaomiao was very surprised: "Third brother, this is still raw, right?"

"Ham can be eaten raw," Zhou Zhi explained, "but we are not used to eating it that way. To go with night wine, I think ham is better eaten cold like rabbit or fish with black beans."

Mai Xiaomiao was only one year old, but Zhou Zhi had already cultivated a Chinese stomach for her. She nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After drinking some wine, Mai Xiaomiao felt a little sleepy. Instead of going to bed, she lay down on the bench, resting her head on Zhou Zhi's thigh and fell asleep.

Zhou Zhi continued to chat with Li Laosan while looking at the dishes and tasting wine.

Making money is a pleasurable thing no matter what, especially now that we can use technology to let computers make money “fully automatically”, which makes it even more pleasurable.

But Zhou Zhi soon started discussing the issue of satellite links with Li Laosan: "Brother San, have you ever thought about the fact that as wireless communications become more and more important, satellite link channels will become more and more crowded in the future? Also, our system is extremely dependent on satellite communications. What if there is a communication failure one day?"

Li Laosan usually doesn't care about these technical details. He was stunned when he heard this: "What should I do?"

"The previous satellite channel was only used to transmit management communication information to us. The real-time requirements were not up to the transaction level, so there was no backup channel." Zhou Zhi signaled Li Laosan to take a thin blanket from the big couch, and he carefully covered Mai Xiaomiao with it. He continued, "It's definitely not possible now, so the satellite line must also consist of a main channel and a backup channel at the same time, and it must be able to complete automatic switching."

"Then let's ask my second brother to rent another line." Li Laosan nodded. "I heard him say that investing in the communications industry is a sure win... Hey, Elbow, what do you think about us launching a few satellites ourselves?"

"What?" Zhou Zhi was shocked. Although he had memories from future generations, he had never thought about getting involved in aerospace technology.

"Didn't you say that? Satellite lines must be reliable, and there must be multiple primary and backup lines." Li Laosan felt that his suggestion was reasonable: "Which line is the safest? Of course, our own line is the safest!"

"That makes sense..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly cheer for Li Laosan's idea. The line they were using now was a satellite line rented from Li Laoer's Yangtze River Telecom. Li Laoer's business focus must be on Hong Kong Island's communications, and the satellite communication channels will become crowded in the future. In order to ensure Hong Kong Island's own communications in the future, after the lease contract expires, there may be trouble between brothers. (End of this chapter)
