The name of "Blacklight Biotechnology" spread with the news of the signing of a $4 billion sky-high contract with Facebook.

For the first time, countless people focused their attention on this little-known small company, and what followed was the rapid fermentation of the product "Little X Translation Assistant".

It's more effective than Xia Yin's advertising campaign that spends tens of millions.

And the key thing is that the contract signed by Chen Chen with Facebook is only an exclusive authorization of the platform, which means that only Facebook users do not need any fees, and Chen Chen can still charge other individual users.

So with the effect of public opinion this time, "Little X Translation Assistant" finally adopted the charging mechanism of monthly members.

The membership price is set at 25 yuan per month.

If you want a discount, you can choose a one-time recharge for 6 months, only 120 yuan, a discount of 30 yuan.

The most preferential is the annual membership, a one-time recharge of 200 yuan can be used for one year, a discount of 100 yuan.

In addition, new users can also enjoy a 15-day free trial, and users will get an additional three days of free access for each time they share and successfully promote a new user to register an account.

This is only the price for users in the Middle Continent, as for the other continents, it increases or decreases in proportion to the level of the local economy.

Just a few days after Chen Chen reached an agreement with Facebook, Ye Dongmei, an employee of Heiguang Technology, was found to have misbehaved and accepted bribes while serving as an assistant manager, and was subsequently dismissed by Heiguang Technology.

In the name of the company, Chen Chen bought an IDC data center in Shangdu Industrial Park, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The so-called data center, that is, the Internet Data Center, is an intermediary that provides information services such as collection, storage, and processing for Internet enterprises based on the Internet network.

Take Daddy Chardonna's web game company as an example:

After a new user registers a game with Shine, how can Shine record the game information of the other user so that the next time the other user logs in, there will be no embarrassing data loss?

In general, Radiance has two options:

The first is to build a server to support tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of users at all times.

This requires building a server from scratch, at least one computer room, and there must be enough cooling system in the computer room, plus the cost of professional maintenance personnel, which is expensive.

Second, the task of storing this information is handed over to a data center, and the company itself only needs to focus on the development and maintenance of the game.

To put it simply, a data center is just a public computer room dedicated to storing the network information of various companies.

This is also known as cloud servers.

The one that Chen Chen bought was a data center that was on the verge of closure due to a series of problems such as old equipment, frequent paralysis, and serious data delays.

The data center is already large in terms of size, with a total of more than 4,000 servers in eight computer rooms, each measuring 10×50 meters, and the entire building covers an area of 5,000 square meters.

It was originally one of the data divisions of Zhongzhou Public Enterprise Telecom, but because it has been established for a long time, many of the equipment has aged to the point that it cannot be upgraded, and it is completely unable to keep up with the times.

And according to the TIA classification, this data center is only the most basic [Tier I] level, and it has also lost its competitiveness among the countless newly established advanced data centers.

Therefore, Chen Chen only spent 20 million yuan to buy it from Telecom, including the remaining 2 years of land lease.

After buying, Chen Chen did not immediately upgrade and replace these old server equipment, but first purchased a transformer.

Originally, Chen Chen wanted to buy a regional transformer, but considering that the installation of such a transformer might lead to abnormal local electricity consumption, the government noticed it, so he finally bought only a 10,000KVA, 35KV all-copper oil-immersed transformer.

When the truck brought the transformer back, Chen Chen found that the transformer alone was the size of a room.

The transformer is three times the capacity of the original transformer in the data center.

In fact, the power consumption of servers in the data center is still secondary, and the most power-consuming is the cooling of the computer room.

According to the proportion of power consumption given by the data center market: server power consumption accounts for 40% of the total power consumption, cooling accounts for 55%, and the rest of the power supply and lighting account for about 5%.

Such a data center requires a 3000KVA transformer to be fully supplied.

Now it's only a threefold increase, so it shouldn't attract the attention of the power supply station, right?

Chen Chen touched his chin and pondered.

In fact, the best way to supply power to the USB flash drive is to go to the outer continent to build a power plant.

For example, in the Indian or African districts, the district government environment can provide Chen Chen with a large degree of freedom, instead of walking on thin ice as he does now.

However, the price of building a power plant is really astronomical, and Chen Chen really couldn't afford it before.

However, after Facebook's $4 billion was recently put in place, it has the capital to give it a try.

It's just that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the construction of a power station is at least on a year-by-year basis, and it is not urgent for the time being.

As for Chen Chen's honey operation, Xia Yin couldn't understand it.

Obviously, he can choose to lease a cloud server, Chen Chen has to spend a lot of money to buy an old data center, in addition to the land deed and building value, those old servers inside should have been packaged and sold for scrap metal a long time ago.

However, Chen Chen is the boss, and although Xia Yin was so angry after several attempts to persuade him to no avail, he could only follow Chen Chen's wishes.

Not only that, but within a few days, Chen Chen spent a lot of money to upgrade the expensive liquid cooling system of the entire data center, and also replaced all the servers, really selling all the old servers for scrap.

Xia Yin: Am I provoking my mother to provoke Fack?

At the same time of renovation, Chen Chen re-planned the power system, not only replaced the transformer, but also built a main control room like an iron bucket next to the transformer.

The main control room not only controls the power system of the entire data center, but Chen Chen also turns the main control room into a home structure of more than 100 square meters with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

This kind of operation is incomprehensible to the whole company.

After half a month the main control room was completed, Chen Chen directly moved the furniture and daily necessities and lived in it himself.

Everyone who knew about this was confused, and the only explanation for themselves was that it was probably the quirk of the rich......

In the end, Chen Chen lived alone in this 10-million-dollar mansion called "Black Light Biotechnology Data Center" after the renaming.

Only Chen Chen himself understands that from 200KVA to 10000KVA transformer, this time he will definitely be able to show more interesting movie props......
