In fact, the concern of these employees is that the work of family members is relatively stable, and if they move, it will cause inconvenience to their family members. It's just that for the current micro-hardware software, it is not too easy to solve the work problems of several people.

Whether Blizzard Entertainment integrates into the company culture of micro-hardware and software, Zhang Yi did not force it too much.

After all, for Blizzard, which has been running stably for many years, has now been successful, and has an even more promising future, there are some risks associated with forceful intervention in the corporate culture that has been formed.

Blizzard in the previous life was a temple of games that all gamers worshipped, and every game and every idea would make countless players flock to it.

It is normal for such a company to support it to ascend to the sky, and affecting its development is simply a paradise that desecrates the minds of gamers.

But working separately will make their management very troublesome, and after seeing the results of the vote, Alan Adhan is still a little hesitant to start the relocation plan immediately.

Zhang Yi didn't want to waste time on some things, and directly threw out a huge fruit of God that no software company could refuse.

"Mr. Adhan, I can tell you a plan now, this plan, you should like it!"

"Boss, what's the plan?

"The company's new office address will cost a huge amount of money to build a giant computer!"

"Ahh

You must know that in this era of 2001, supercomputers were built only by some superpowers.

At present, the only company that has the strength to build a supercomputer on its own is IB, which is the International Business Machines Corporation. However, the dark blue built by IB is different from ordinary supercomputers, it is a pure chess supercomputer, and has not been developed for other purposes.

Its main purpose was simply to defeat the chess grandmaster Kaspalov, and after the victory in the match, the IB sealed the supercomputer.

It was during the period of the chess master game that the price of IB's already weak stock gained a strong boost.

In IB's view, Deep Blue is just a pawn to boost the stock market.

For Zhang Yi, super cloud computers are a necessity for the company's development, and although they are expensive and difficult to maintain, for him, perhaps the rewards will be far greater than the pay.

Not to mention, for Blizzard Entertainment, rendering the huge map of World of Warcraft requires thousands of computers and a month of continuous computing to complete, plus the work of removing bugs, the cost of time is incalculable.

And if you have a supercomputer that is ready to use, the calculation time for these map renderings may only take an hour to complete. It's really not the same in terms of efficiency.

In fact, for a game like World of Warcraft, with a large map, there is nothing but testing and beauty

Probably the biggest part of the work is the rendering of the map.

"Also, I thought about it, World of Warcraft can't build subservers in every country as originally envisaged. Have you ever thought about it, such a way will cause servers in each country to have different progress. In that case, not only will the consumption be huge, but the player's game experience will also be very different! This kind of World of Warcraft is not what I want!"

Zhang Yi clearly remembers that in his previous life, the World of Warcraft of the Celestial Empire lagged behind the American and European servers for nearly a year and a half, which made players complain, and even some loyal players had no choice but to buy monthly cards for the American and European servers, and endured the game screen that looked like a cartoon, just to experience the latest game content for the first time.

In the end, the resentment of the players finally forced Blizzard to spend huge manpower and material resources to cancel the agency of the World of Warcraft in Nine Cities, and let NetEase take over halfway. This turmoil made most players give up their favorite World of Warcraft.

Every time I go online, I can only look at more and more of my friends' avatars, turn gray, and sigh alone!

Zhang Yi is also one of these many sad players, in this life, he wholly owns Blizzard Entertainment, and he will never allow such a thing to happen again.

"Boss, what do you want to do?"

"I thought about it, there will be a supercomputer in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and the server side of World of Warcraft will run on the supercomputer!"

"Ahh

"Of course, a game doesn't use so much computing resources, I have other plans, the game of World of Warcraft, is the first to be used for experiments! In that case, players play the same version, the game experience is the same, the first kill of the boss is also a list in the world, there is no harm without comparison, such a comparison will stimulate more players, delve into our game, a sense of honor will bring a lot of things, thus, make our game more popular!"

"But, boss, I don't think World of Warcraft's income is high enough to make your investment value-added!"

"Hehe, Mr. Adhan, don't worry about this, money is just a number for me now. I bought Blizzard, not thinking about how much money I can make from Blizzard, but I really love games, I love World of Warcraft, I love StarCraft, these games are my favorites, I hope players can get the most perfect game experience when playing our games, as for making money or not, it doesn't matter!"

In fact, the success of World of Warcraft in his previous life taught him that the investment in giant computers was really not worth mentioning compared to the profitability of World of Warcraft.

What's more, supercomputers are also the future, the core of all his careers.

Artificial intelligence, big data, computing cloud services, all of which are created by trusting supercomputers.

You don't see, in the previous life of Amazon, the most profitable thing was not what Amazon mall, but Amazon as cloud services,

Personalized information services for tens of millions of small and medium-sized businesses.

Cloud services such as small websites and web hosting have become the core lifeblood of these small and medium-sized businesses.

Even the Alibaba Cloud of the Celestial Empire, which rose later, is also this routine, relying on cloud services, tying up many small and medium-sized enterprises, like leeches, lying on these enterprises to suck blood and grow themselves.

Alan Adhan didn't know what to say, using a giant computer as a game server, even in his dreams, he didn't dare to think about it like this, it was really beyond the limit of his imagination.

Perhaps, as they say, poverty limits your imagination.

As for the specific construction plan, he has asked the headhunter to contact the team that built the IB Deep Blue Computer.

After this group was mothballed in the Deep Blue Computer, it became a nobody's existence in the IB, and it just continued to exert its residual heat to help him build a supercomputer, everything was ready-made, not to mention that the current Intel's more powerful Xeon Cu has greatly increased the frequency, relying on these, it will even be built into a supercomputer far beyond the level of Deep Blue.
