The day 32-year-old Liang Yue was laid off by Yunzhi Technology, he only received more than 30,000 yuan in compensation. He spent one thousand and sixty-six dollars to buy eight mining cards that no one dared to accept, and asked the network administrator Lu Ming to test them all night long, but in the end he only saved six.
There is no computer room, no customers, and no financing. The two borrowed 40 consignment graphics cards, changed the electricity, set up fans, and repaired the damaged cards in a leaky nursery shed on the outskirts of the city. Machines would go offline, tasks would report errors, and the first contract could only be paid through the second-hand dealer Lao Zhang's company.
What Liang Yue can do is record every failure in a log and split the mixed batch of old cards into computing power that can actually be delivered. As customers increase, pressures on data security, contract compensation, supply chain and former companies come one after another. The equipment in the greenhouse will gradually move from a few old cards to computing power platforms, industrial manufacturing, and the first embodied robot that can truly work on-site.
This is the story of a group of ordinary engineers starting from scrap hardware and turning technology into a business bit by bit.
