Impossible due to how cryptocurrency works. In any cryptocurrency there is something called an "emissions target" which will only up to X amount of coins to be "released" on the discovery of a new block. This is also compounded by the fact that even if you did try to accelerate the mining by adding more powerful nodes into the network, the network would automatically adjust the difficulty in order to keep blocks spitting out at the predetermined time of 10 minutes per block.
