Chapter 645: Computer Center and Data Storage Center
Under Jiang Chen's assurance, Lei Dan and Wei Lingling finally agreed, and Jiang Chen drove his 212 towards Nanshan. However, he did not go to the company this time, nor to the B17 factory, nor to this wolf's den base. Instead, they came to two construction sites not far apart. Through the car radio in 212, Jiang Chen had already called Dongzi over, and when Jiang Chen arrived, Dongzi was already here.
Seeing Jiang Chen coming, Dongzi and several cadre-looking personnel walked over to him one after another, and then greeted him with a smile: "Brother Chen (President Jiang/Jiang Gong)!"
"Well, hello everyone, how is it now. Jiang Chen looked at the construction site in front of him and asked with a smile at everyone.
"Huh. One of the middle-aged men wearing a red hard hat smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang, the main building of the computer center here has been completed, and now it is starting to harden in the annex building and the ground." Once all this is done, the equipment can be shipped in and installed. The data storage center over there is now being completed, and it is expected that by April next year, it should be fully completed, and then the installation and commissioning of the equipment will be carried out. At present, the two transmission lines we have pulled from the power plant and the power grid have been basically erected, which can ensure the full load power needs of these two institutions. And even if there is a power outage or an accident at the power plant, it can still operate normally. ”
"Well, that's good, hard work. Jiang Chen looked at the two construction sites and said with a smile.
These two facilities can be said to be the key foundation for Jiang Chen's next layout, and they are also one of the important boosts for Jiang Chen's development. The first is this computer center, which is an auxiliary institution jointly invested by Jiang Chen Matchmaking Company and B17 Factory. Previously, Jiang Chen's calculations either relied on their brainpower, or they competed with various production units and departments to compete for the small computer in the provincial computer center. Since that computer had been in use for many years, it was now prone to frequent failures, and the error rate in calculations was increasing, and there were so many units in use that they were severely under-timed. What's more, with the development of the company's side and the needs of the B17 factory, Jiang Chen and the others have calculated more and more things and quantities, and the time they use is getting more and more frequent, and the calculation time is getting longer and longer, so the small computer in the province can no longer meet Jiang Chen's needs. Therefore, at the request of many scientific research and technical personnel, Jiang Chen and they held a meeting to study and discuss with the B17 factory, and finally decided that the two units would invest half of their own money to build these two institutions to help the R&D personnel of the two units carry out relevant R&D calculations. In the future, if there is enough time, maybe this computer center may serve other units and users.
Of course, Jiang Chen and the others want to build a computer center, and of course they will not be as petty as the province and get a small computer. Of course, this small computer is not the kind of energy computer we use now, we call it personal computing or microcomputer. And this is the equivalent of today's servers or workstations. However, due to the technical limitations and backward components of that era, the volume of this small machine was also quite huge, and it even had to occupy a special room to stack these devices. Of course, we can't just make the most advanced at once, and directly give it to the development of a supercomputer like the 'Galaxy One' (successfully developed in 1983). That's unrealistic and a big waste.
Therefore, after in-depth study and discussion by the expert group, it is felt that a large and medium-sized computer is in line with the current development needs of the western company and the B17 factory. Moreover, the development of computers is very fast, and I believe that it will not be long before the technology advances, and the performance of these computers will become more and more advanced. So it's better to save money and develop more advanced computers in the future. After discussion, it was finally decided to develop and produce a medium-sized computer first. Why is it R&D, because large and medium-sized computers like this are generally prohibited from being sold, and even if they are sold, it is a sky-high price, so usually such computers are developed by enterprises entrusted by relevant computer R&D institutions according to the requirements of the enterprise.
Jiang Chen's medium-sized computer was jointly developed by Jiang Chen and his colleagues with relevant experts from several universities and the Academy of Sciences, as well as the project team established by Jiang Chen's own electronic device and integrated circuit R&D laboratory. Of course, it's not really Jiang Chen's own research and development, purely domestic, like some chips and key components, these Jiang Chen they can't produce, they can only buy from abroad. Even some things can't even be bought, they can only be obtained through special channels. Jiang Chen's reason for doing this is also very simple, he knows that in the future, this kind of large and medium-sized computer, or even a giant computer, will be of great help to national defense needs and social life, as well as enterprise production, and even all aspects. Although our country's large-scale computer research and development has always been among the top in the world, it has always been constrained by other countries in terms of core technology, so it has always been doubly difficult. Jiang Chen wants to push forward the development of his country's computer technology, especially the core technology, through this kind of effort, and strive to reach the forefront of the world as soon as possible. Moreover, the market for small and micro computers in the giant and large and medium-sized computers will also be a very good development industry in the next few decades, and Jiang Chen is drooling when he thinks about the 1.3 billion computer Internet users in China.
And the data storage center over there is also an institution planned by Jiang Chen. The role of this data center in the future is also quite huge. It will integrate and optimize the various process technologies currently produced by Jiang Chen. Even the data calculated by the computer center over there is also stored and collected here. The computational information obtained from the outside is then stored here for research. Moreover, with the expansion of Jiang Chen and the development of business and technical intelligence information, Jiang Chen and they obtained more and more relevant information and intelligence. There has never been a unified place for centralized storage, so Jiang Chen let such a data storage center be built. Moreover, this is also prepared for a certain plan in the future. Once that operation is successful, then this huge data center will be filled up in an instant, and the technology obtained is enough to push our country into the ranks of the world's manufacturing powers, and it is enough to achieve Jiang Chen's world-class military hegemony.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen took the white helmet in Dongzi's hand, and then said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
"Okay!" everyone smiled and followed Jiang Chen towards the construction site. (To be continued.) )
