We improve the "sieve" part of the number field sieve used in factoring integer and computing discrete logarithm. The runtime of our method is shorter than that of existing methods. Under some reasonable assumptions, we prove that it is less than two-thirds of the running time of the algorithm used before asymptotically with probability gr
