I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 081
Data centers had to use countless servers.
And the resource that was essential for these servers was rare earth elements.
The problem was that rare earth elements were scarce resources.
And the fact that the country with the most of these resources was the communist nation China was also a big problem.
[China takes control of rare earth elements once again!]
China would control rare earth elements whenever they had the chance, holding the entire world hostage.
Countries around the world were desperately searching for new rare earth deposits to escape from this hostage situation.
Sophia and Lea wanted to solve this problem.
No, let’s be honest.
“If we make servers that work without rare earth elements, couldn’t we become rich too?!”
“Really?! That’s an awesome idea!”
That’s right.
They wanted to make money.
They wanted to make an enormous amount of money and live comfortably.
“If we combine our awesome brains, we can make it!”
They were overflowing with confidence.
The university they attended was Caltech.
Since they were two people who had come together at a place where world-class genius engineers gathered, they were confident that they would definitely produce amazing results.
And as expected, they created amazing results.
“Wow… we completed it! This will change the world!!”
The result they created without sleeping or dating men.
A server that worked without using rare earth elements.
But there was one major problem.
“What do you mean completed?! This thing starts smoking after just 5 minutes!!”
“Come on! We just need to solve the heat problem! Surely we can handle one heat issue?!”
In the end, they couldn’t handle it.
They had created a meaningful result that worked without using rare earth elements, but the heat generation was too severe.
No matter how much cutting-edge air cooling they applied, the heat problem wouldn’t be resolved.
“What should we do? We’ve run out of research funds too.”
To make matters worse, their research funds had also run out.
The remaining money was only a few tens of thousands of dollars.
Now they were truly backed into a corner.
What they found in this situation was DISA being held in Dubai.
“Here! Let’s find new investors here!”
So they came to Dubai without any plan.
They were lucky enough to get a solo booth, but the problem was that they made a mistake during the demonstration and smoke rose in front of major investors.
“We’re ruined…”
“We’re finished…”
They had blown their last chance.
The investors around them left with mocking laughter, and the two had no choice but to kneel in despair.
That’s when a man approached them.
“Hello?”
About 183cm tall.
A neat-looking Asian man.
Since Asians tend to look young, they couldn’t gauge his age, but he seemed to be in his late twenties.
The man, who seemed relaxed somehow, took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to the two while introducing himself.
“I’m Kang Hyeon Choi, a major shareholder of a company called Nereid.”
Nereid.
It was a name they knew well.
The company that created the world’s first new cooling system called immersion cooling.
And the company that joined hands with the global corporation Saseng to create the monster called HBM5.
A major shareholder of that place!
“Le… Lea…! I think we won the lottery!!”
* * *
It took quite some time for the two to calm down.
So Kang Hyeon bought calming tea from the separately prepared cafeteria and gave it to them.
“Th… thank you.”
“We’ll drink it well.”
Watching the two drink their tea, Kang Hyeon could understand their personalities.
‘The blonde woman named Sophia seems to be the type who gets excited easily, and the brown-haired woman named Lea seems to be on the calm side. They have opposite personalities, but they seem to be a well-matched type?’
There were people like that.
People with completely opposite personalities who got along well.
He and Kwangho were a similar type.
Since their personalities were different, they had the advantage of being able to complement each other’s lacking parts.
Of course, there were disadvantages too, but those parts were problems that could be covered with humanity.
‘When these types create synergy, they sometimes produce unexpected effects.’
While the two were calming down.
Kang Hyeon examined the machine the two had been touching.
He could see that the circuit board was burned, but the components looked fine.
‘It’s a server, but it looks different from the servers I know.’
After acquiring Nereid, Kang Hyeon had to be forcibly caught by Nathan once in a while for mandatory studying.
Of course, the studying wasn’t anything grand – it was just listening carefully when Nathan explained things.
Thanks to that, he knew what servers looked like and what role each component played.
But the thing in front of him now looked somewhat different from those.
‘They said it was a server that didn’t need to use rare earth elements.’
If that was really a feasible theory, the landscape of AI worldwide would definitely change.
‘But the people who saw this didn’t have such expectations. That means it’s not a finished product yet.’
It seemed like the same situation as Nereid.
Immersion cooling that could change the AI landscape if properly made.
But from the outside, Nereid only looked like a failed company.
A company that didn’t produce proper results no matter how much investment was made – the world calls such companies failures.
In fact, if Kang Hyeon hadn’t bought Nereid’s bonds, the company would have closed due to embezzlement.
‘This place also has the potential to become a second Nereid.’
The server that didn’t need rare earth elements, which they had invented.
If they could solve its problems, it would be something that could change the world’s landscape in an instant.
“Phew… thank you.”
“We drank it well.”
Just then, the two finished drinking their tea.
“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Sophia Marlon, co-CEO of Post Rare.”
“I’m Lea Curie, co-CEO of Post Rare.”
“Curie, you mean…”
“Yes, to be exact, I’m the 5th generation descendant of Pierre Curie, Madame Curie’s husband.”
“Oh…”
Madame Curie was one of the indispensable figures in the scientific world.
She was the person who discovered radium and polonium and won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
To think she was the 5th generation descendant of such a person.
It was an unexpected connection.
Then Sophia took the lead in the conversation.
“But you said you’re a major shareholder of Nereid, right? Then are you close with Dr. Nathan? They say he created immersion cooling by himself – is that true?”
A barrage of questions followed.
Sophia was a woman with as much curiosity as her appearance suggested.
“Yes, I am a major shareholder. I think I’m quite close with Dr. Nathan. And the immersion cooling was created under his leadership.”
“Ooh!!”
“So the rumors were true.”
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
How delighted Nathan would have been if he had seen this reaction.
‘I should have brought him along.’
Nathan would have enjoyed this entire event venue.
“Then… then, CEO. Is there perhaps something you’re curious about from us…?”
“Ah, it’s nothing else – what are the current problems with this server?”
“Ah! The server. Simply put, it generates too much heat. So the circuit board can’t withstand it and burns out. If we could just properly control the heat generation, this thing literally has the potential to overturn data centers worldwide!”
Wasn’t her previous job perhaps a rapper?
Sophia spilled out everything she wanted to say from start to finish in one breath without stopping once.
While feeling that ability was impressive, he could also tell how desperate she was.
“So you’re saying if we just control the heat, the server will operate normally?”
“Yes! In tests, it operated without any problems! If we can just control the heat, we only need to check through stress tests how long it can be maintained!”
“CEO, could you possibly arrange for us to meet Dr. Nathan?”
Lea, who had been listening to the conversation, asked directly.
At her question, Kang Hyeon smiled and nodded.
“That’s why I gave you both my business cards.”
Bright smiles appeared on both their faces.
* * *
Nathan returned to the United States and fell back into research obsession.
“HBM5 has narrower layers than I thought. Even if we submerge this in a tank, the problem is that the solution can’t properly pass between them.”
To solve this, he needed to create new equipment for the liquid to pass through.
However, Nathan wondered if this entire process might be unnecessary and fell into new research as soon as he returned to the United States.
“If we could lower the solution’s viscosity to make it more like water, it should be able to pass through sufficiently without additional equipment.”
After returning to the United States.
His appearance, not sleeping properly and only focusing on research, was close to that of a madman.
But this was also Nathan’s usual state.
For him, life was all about research, so he could immerse himself only in that.
A phone call came to him.
“Yes, CEO.”
It was Kang Hyeon.
The call from him, who was also a benefactor who helped his research continue, was unexpected.
“What? A data center server that doesn’t use rare earth elements? But it can’t operate properly because it can’t control heat generation? Oh ho, I’d really like to see that. Understood, please send those two people to Nereid.”
After the business was finished.
Nathan’s face after hanging up showed anticipation like a child who found a toy.
“As expected, being around this person always seems to bring interesting things.”
What kind of interesting matter had he brought this time?
Nathan was already looking forward to it.
* * *
Kang Hyeon decided to leave Dubai together with them.
“Then let’s go to the United States together on tomorrow morning’s flight.”
“Yes!!”
Both readily accepted.
The reason they had come to Dubai was to find new investors anyway.
But since they had gotten to know a big shot like Kang Hyeon, there was no longer a reason to stay.
Above all, they were already excited about being able to show their invention to Dr. Nathan.
Of course, Kang Hyeon was also looking forward to it.
‘Nathan should be able to fix that server’s errors using immersion cooling.’
If that were possible, Nereid would gain another tremendous power.
‘It wouldn’t be bad to utilize that server in the data center being built in India.’
The data center currently being built in India.
He planned to install servers using immersion cooling there.
They were the same servers as before, but servers with Nereid’s proprietary technology that efficiently controlled heat generation.
What if they could use the servers without rare earth elements that the women had created?
‘It would be the world’s first server with two new technologies.’
There was a high possibility of creating a revolutionary center that would solve the heat generation and rare earth dependency that had been concerns for data centers worldwide.
‘I’m already looking forward to it.’
Kang Hyeon, filled with anticipation, entered the hotel and stopped in front of the elevator.
For him staying at the Burj Al Arab thanks to Lee Jae-seong’s consideration, even waiting for the elevator was work.
Click.
Then he felt a presence along with the sharp sound of high heels and turned his head.
There was a woman who anyone would find attractive, walking in a dress that accentuated her figure.
She naturally made eye contact with Kang Hyeon, curled her red lips, and smiled beautifully with her eyes.
“Hello?”
Though she was Asian, at her greeting in fluent English, Kang Hyeon also lightly bowed his head.
“Hello.”
“I’m Eva.”
“I’m Kang Hyeon Choi.”
This was his first meeting with a woman named Eva.
