考察 N = p_1*p_2*...*p_k + 1
可知: 对于任意i = 1,2,3,...,k, p_i 不能整除 N
由素数的定义:
a是素数 <=> a是大于1的自然数, 且a不被任何小于a的素数整除

就算是db2,peopelsoft的时代，写个脚本跑两个晚上，几million的记录也能生成，海
量数据并不是互联网，还有现在所谓的大数据的新问题。从来人类获得的信息要超出人
类的存储能力，那么处理这些信息就需要逻辑上的优化，抽象。
比如一个学校的学生，避免把库搞大，可以分热能与环境工程，采矿系等，纵向分88级
，92级...。到了2012年，可以把88，90的备份到磁带上，把数据库的体积缩小。需要
时可从备份恢复。
所以几个million的数据库，几个zillion的数据库不是一个很N的事情，相反设计这种
