Behind the headquarters of the Alpha company is a beautiful scenery, a crystal clear river flows quietly, and behind the factory headquarters there is a small mountain forest, lush and overgrown with evergreen redwoods, this tree has been growing since the Jurassic period, with a huge trunk diameter and thick bark, and strong insect protection and fire prevention ability. Alpha is perfectly capable of conducting robotic mountain experiments in this mountain forest.

Of course, the most wonderful thing is the weather. The weather here is sunny and the air humidity is moderate, and people should be more energetic when they live here.

Currently, Lebert of Boston Dynamics is the head of Alpha, that is, the CEO.

Henry made a special trip to Alpha Corporation, and when he walked into the factory, he saw a lot of strange robot limbs, mainly arms and feet. After a while, Lebert rushed over when he heard the news, Lebert was about forty years old, with a high nose, slightly smaller eyes, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses. He had a wisp of stubble on his mouth, apparently unshaved. His hair is very short, which is one of the more popular hairstyles at the moment!

Henry's hairstyle is also short, because when the hair is long, it takes some time to take care of it, and Henry doesn't have the energy to do these things. Some people have long hair to be handsome, but Henry has reached the point where he doesn't need to be handsome, he just needs to stand in the crowd, he is the most handsome, he is the most eye-catching existence!

Henry looked at Lebert, and naturally, Lebert looked at Henry too. Henry wears a white shirt on top and a pair of black slacks on the bottom, and his face is well-defined. He is very handsome, especially with a pair of deep and bright eyes. Flashing with the light of wisdom.

After Lebert greeted Henry, he led him to the main office building. It is a mid-18th-century Mediterranean-style building, with red tiles and white walls, creating a sense of simplicity in which architecture and nature are in harmony. Henry's group took the elevator to the third floor, got out of the elevator, turned a corner to the right, and then walked into a large laboratory.

"Mr. Williams, Boston Dynamics was planning to develop a robot called 'BigDog,' which is a simulated four-legged puppy," Lebert said. ”

Lebert said as he turned on his computer. He showed Henry an image and said, "This is the concept art of BigDog!"

Henry looked at it and said to himself, sure enough, the original BigDog is very similar to the BigDog robot they first exposed in 2005!

At this point, Lebert continues: "We were going to choose a hydraulic actuator as a joint drive element, which would improve some of the shortcomings of traditional hydraulic systems, and then integrate the hydraulic actuator with the quadruped mechanism in a reasonable and clever way. Of course, all of this is just our imagination! We need to do a lot of experiments to sum up the experience in order to make a perfect BigDog robot! In addition, we need to consider the balance of BigDog's motion control. There are three main factors that are considered, namely one's own posture, terrain conditions and movement conditions. Therefore, we need a very good control algorithm!"

Henry nodded. "So, Alpha's first robotics project was BigDog?"

"Nope. And the warehouse robot RobotWare!" Lebert laughed, "The warehouse robot RobotWare that Nicholas Robots has studied before is very mature. We decided to start both research projects at the same time!"

"Lebert, it seems to me that RobotWare can still be used commercially, but what about BigDog?

"BigDog was originally designed for the military, and for the time being, it's really hard to make a profit!" Lebert replied, "but the technology is the same." As long as we make BigDog successful, it will be feasible to commercialize it in the future!"

Henry nodded knowingly, and Boston Dynamics merged into Alpha. Boston Dynamics' cooperation with the military also shifted to Alpha's cooperation with the military.

Henry then looked elsewhere, and when he was done, Henry came to rest in his office, and he went to the window and looked out into the wide square. At this time, the picture of rows of robot legions standing there in a neat row appeared in my mind! Among them, there were robot "people", machine "dogs", and so on.

……

……

Henry returned to San Jose, just in time for the team that had gone to investigate the location of the data center. As a result, the Global Data Center Strategic Plan is about to be launched!

The location of a data center is not simply a matter of choosing a place to build a data center, it will involve many things, such as electricity, water power, environmental impact, coverage, distance, etc., after a detailed analysis and calculation, it can be decided!

Henry expects to build a total of 50 large data centers around the world, 20 in the United States, 12 in Europe, 1 in Russia, 1 in South America, 4 in Asia, etc., with an average construction cost of up to $2 billion per data center. In other words, Henry will invest a total of $100 billion this time!

As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately caused a global media sensation.

Although Noah's Ark's blade server has been developed, it has not been announced to the outside world, but has been stocked. If Henry wants to build so many data centers, he will inevitably need a large number of blade servers, and Noah's Ark will not be able to produce them, so he will naturally not sell them.

The outside world doesn't know the situation, and they don't understand what Henry Williams invested $100 billion in building a data center!

The concept of cloud technology, cloud computing, cloud storage, is not there at all now. People have absolutely no idea what the meaning of what Henry is doing!

Many people scolded Henry as a madman, a fool, and a loser!

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

"It's not like this to burn money, spending $100 billion to build a data center is a!"

"yes, isn't there just a lot of servers in a data center, and you need to build so many?"

"Hehe, Henry Williams must have been brain-filled this time!"

"The aura of genius is falling off!"

"The stupidest decision of the century!"

“……”

At this time, countless media wanted to interview Henry, but Henry refused to do so.

No matter how questioned by the outside world, once Henry decides, he will never change it.

With this investment in the data center, Henry decided that it would be invested by all the companies under his name that need to use cloud services. In fact, almost all companies use cloud services!

However, when Henry's decision was announced, it caused a huge uproar and opposition.

Almost no one was optimistic about the investment, and shareholders and minority shareholders were opposed. On the same day, the stock prices of all the major listed companies under Henry's name all fell to varying degrees! However, only the market value of Noah's Ark soared, exceeding $200 billion!

Because, all the servers in the data center will be purchased from Noah's Ark, and the shareholders are almost overjoyed!

"Support Mr. Williams' decision!"

"Henry Williams has a great vision, he is a super genius, this construction of the data center, it must be profound, and it will definitely make a lot of money in the future!"

“……”

Countless shareholders of Noah's Ark Company are all shouting for Henry, if this happens, the market value of Noah's Ark will continue to rise!

Henry thought about it carefully, the Internet is developing much faster than in his previous life, and with the fact that he has been fueling the troubles, the speed of development will be even faster in the future. It's perfectly possible to set up a data center. Moreover, the establishment of data centers is phased, location-based, and sequential, and it is not possible to build 50 data centers at the same time!

Once the data center is established, it will greatly enhance the competitiveness of Internet companies!

Isearch has a data center that makes searches faster and more accurate.

ICQ has a data center, and all the data of users can be retained.

Nicholas International E-commerce has a data center, and the user's shopping habits are well understood, and the advertisements are accurately pushed!

It's just too much, too much.

And with the data center, the development speed of intelligent software will show a leap forward!

Henry had another purpose, which was to monopolize.

With such a large data center built so early, almost all companies that want to get involved in this industry will be held back. Because the users have been snatched away by Henry, it is too risky for them to make cloud services again!

Henry, on the other hand, could build a data empire with a large number of data centers!!

(This is the first update.) Next, there should be two more. ）
