Chapter 1 The tragedy caused by Bitcoin mining machines

On a cold night in December 2018, after dinner, Zhang Yi packed up his wife and children's dishes and piled them in the sink to clean them quickly.

I took out the guitar, opened the pirated guitar tutorial I downloaded and printed from the Internet, and started practicing it with a straightforward look    .

He is 42 years old, with short fingers and incomplete tone. Practicing guitar is very difficult for him, but he still enjoys it.

Suddenly, the wife who tutored her son to do her homework yelled: "How many pairs of AG shoes do your classmate have? They change them every day. What does it have to do with us!"

"Don't compare these with others. Just compare your academic performance. Study hard every day and compare everything in the future!"

My son shouted to his mother in a stubborn voice: "Others buy shoes worth a few thousand yuan a pair, but I also wear cheap Xiaomi shoes worth more than 100 yuan. How embarrassing! I can't even raise my head in front of my classmates!"

"Your dad is incompetent and only gets a little dead salary every month. It's hard to support his family. He also thinks about buying such expensive shoes, how is it possible!"

The door with extremely poor sound insulation completely presented the conversation between the two to him outside the door.

The two of them were talking to each other, and Zhang Yi, who was outside the door, lowered his head in shame, opened his mouth with a sad face, and was speechless.

A little lonely, he picked up his down jacket from the hanger, walked out of the house, and gently closed the door behind him.

It was already late at night outside, and every household had lights on, and under the cold night, the glass was hazy.

Behind each window, it may be like your own home. Although it is warm, it is always showing different ups and downs.

Zhang Yi looked up at the window of his home, and the lights were still on.

The quarrels between the son and his wife are still coming one after another.

The biting cold wind whistled through his body. He pulled the zipper of his clothes, looked at the familiar window for the last time, and left silently.

Next to the community gate, there is an extremely luxurious Internet cafe. He was bored and walked in without realizing it.

You know, he would never have entered here in the past, for no other reason, just because the price of this Internet cafe is almost the most expensive in Haijin.

Its expensive is because the computer configuration is extremely high, almost the most popular configuration on the market. Each machine is expensive, and there is even a very professional e-sports area, equipped with a 120mhz high refresh rate e-sports display, Core i9 CPU, dual RTX 2080 graphics card fire exchange, 32g memory, 512g pcie   Solid-state hard drive.

Adopt graphics card and cpu integrated liquid cooling system and gigabit network card.

Even the bandwidth of this Internet cafe is almost ten times that of an ordinary Internet cafe.

Looking at the brilliant colors emitted by these transparent cases, Zhang Yi's saliva was almost flowing out. He was engaged in software development and knew the power of these high-end computers very well.

After applying for an internet card, I walked towards the high-end computer in the e-sports area.

The internet administrator behind him looked at his back and muttered, "This uncle is really trendy, he wants to play such an expensive e-sports area!"

Zhang Yi chose the corner that was the least noticeable, sat down, and felt it. Not to mention the computer itself, the professional e-sports table and chairs are more in line with the human body curve and more comfortable.

But what he didn't notice was that in the glass cabinet behind him, rows of huge graphics cards were running at full speed.

I logged into the Internet cafe's Windows system, searched for the latest agent, logged into the open source code management website github, looked at several open source projects I participated in, and did anyone submit new changes. Is there any new people on the blog that follow and ask questions?

I opened Baidu and searched for some interesting content casually. I found that the screen searches were all Baidu Baijiahao or advertising promotions. I cursed angrily. Such a junk search engine is considered a scorpion poop in the world, and it is the only one.

I can't find what I need, so I can only go to Google.

Browse Google's keep notepad and responded to some emails from foreign friends on github. Full of English emails is not a difficult task for him.

It's quite funny. He studied English for nine years in junior high school and high school. After graduation, he started working, and found out that he couldn't understand English newspapers. He had only a little understanding of the posts in English forums.

On the contrary, after work, he was mingled with Google and Github, and miraculously, he was able to write letters, blogs, and original works in English.

After doing all this, log in to the Steam online game platform and open the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game. The nervous and fast-paced game quickly made him forget the troubles in reality and devote himself to it.

He was so fascinated by the play that he suddenly felt the table shaking slightly. He subconsciously felt that someone was shaking the table, but immediately realized something was wrong. This kind of e-sports table is independent, very heavy and stable, how could someone shake it?

A sudden sensation popped up in his head and a thought that he didn't even dare to think of: "Is it an earthquake?"

Suddenly, a bigger shaking came, and he swayed left and right, unable to sit steadily.

He has learned the knowledge of earthquake escape and understands that at this time, finding the corner of the building is the kingly way to go when he cannot escape.

I tried hard to get under the table, but this easy movement, which is usually difficult to climb to the sky when the earth sways violently.

When I bent down, I heard a whimpering sound coming from behind me.

Looking back, I found a glass cabinet with a large number of graphics cards and smashed it at him.

For a moment, he was frightened and stayed there, at a loss.

At this time, a nonsensical idea suddenly popped up in my mind. If I could persist in the martial arts I learned since I was a child, I might be able to quickly dodge like a movie stunt move and avoid this situation.

Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. After being a programmer and coder for many years, his body has completely emptied his overtime and otaku attributes. Not to mention getting out of his way, it is difficult to stand firm.

The moment the glass cabinet fell down, the pieces of glass that hit his head scratched his head, and it was bloody, and then there were motherboards with a large number of graphics cards inserted. Looking at these motherboards and graphics cards, he suddenly realized what the exposed motherboards and graphics cards were used for in these glass cabinets.

It turns out that the Internet cafe owner not only opened an Internet cafe to make money, but also made a lot of mining machines for mining Bitcoin. The so-called perfect seat he chose was the most deadly position when the earthquake came. This really made his sister have no way to die, so she was trying to die.

At the moment of losing consciousness, he was relieved: "In the future, no need to see quarrels at home. If he was smashed to death, he could still get a huge compensation for the personal insurance he purchased, which would make his wife and son live better! It was also worth dying. And being hit by the computer he loved most in his life can be considered dead! ".

Zhang Yi, who was pressed by the exposed mining machine, had his body surrounded by a light blue arc, and the blood flowing out gradually approached the mining machine.

The Internet cafe was in chaos, and people around were running around looking for cover, but no one noticed Zhang Yi lying under the cabinet.

Under the cabinet, a super small object similar to a computer hard drive emitted a faint blue light, floating like a real thing, and came to the pineal gland in the center of Zhang Yi's forehead. With a soothing sound, he crawled in and disappeared.

In the dark, he felt a mechanically synthesized sound sound in his mind: the host's body is being tested.
