Chapter 603 [Put the entire data center into a few vials of DNA]

In a university dormitory in China, a group of juniors sat around and watched the launch of the Cote d'Azur.

Obviously, these college students are all fans of Luo Sheng.

A junior student named Yang Hongkuang said happily: "Watching a press conference is more energetic than opening the black, and taking five kills is not as good as this." ”

The roommate named He Wei who was standing next to him also said: "Tainima is relieved, worthy of being my idol, I want to work on the CΓ΄te d'Azur after graduation, this is my dream dream." ”

Yang Hongkuang said: "Then prepare honestly for the graduate school entrance examination, unless you are a genius, it is difficult for fresh graduates to enter the Cote d'Azur." ”

Another roommate named Yan Kangping said: "Hey, how many black technologies do you say there are still hidden on the Cote d'Azur?" It seems that the archbishop said that he would announce two products today, and LiFi is just one of them, and I don't know what kind of fairy product the second one will be. ”

Cote d'Azur, Bluestar Technology, Luo Sheng...... These names are just today, in a sense, they carry the pride and pride of too many Chinese people, because these names make many overseas students feel confident and give each other a beautiful reply when asked whether there are great companies and great technologies in your country.

In the past, when there was no Cote d'Azur and no Bluestar technology, it was really unspeakable, which was inevitably frustrating and a blow to self-confidence.

But now it's different.

He Wei guessed curiously: "You see, the first product disclosed by the archbishop LiFi is aimed at WiFi, and this conference is obviously aimed at the recent global SD card association and WiFi Alliance, so is the second product related to storage?" ”

Yang Hongkuang hurriedly said: "Don't say it, it's coming, it's coming, it's started, and the second product should be disclosed." ”

Suddenly, several roommates stopped communicating, and all stared intently at the live broadcast of the press conference, all looking forward to the amazing technology products that broke out on the Cote d'Azur again.

……

At the same time, the scene of the press conference of the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur.

The disclosure of LiFi technology has ended, but today's conference is only halfway through, and there is still one product that has not yet been announced.

On the stage, Luo Sheng fiddled with his body language, walking around the stage aimlessly, his eyes wandering aimlessly across the audience, and his voice soon resounded throughout the audience again.

"Since the twentieth century, the way we store data has evolved from media such as tape, floppy disks, and CDs to sophisticated semiconductor memory chips that can hold data in countless tiny transistors."

"However, the ever-increasing amount of data is putting new pressures on the way it is stored, so this will also drive further changes in the way it is stored."

……

"Haha, I guessed it, and it was really related to storage." He Wei slapped his legs excitedly and said loudly, as if this matter had a lot to do with him.

"This is a real hammer, if today's press conference has nothing to do with the matter of the Global SD Card Association and the WiFi Alliance the day before yesterday, I don't believe it, this is already Chiguoguo's target, and the Cote d'Azur responds in this way." Yang Hongkuang also said excitedly.

"Haha,There is LiFi in front of the foreshadowing has shocked the audience,The people of the SD Card Association estimated that the chrysanthemums began to tighten when they heard the opening words of the archbishop.,But it's too late for the goose.,The current mentality of the people of the SD Card Association is estimated to be like hanging up in the toilet.,Waiting for death (shi)." He Wei gushed endlessly.

"It's come to this, and they're also very helpless, like a rooster laying eggs, useless eggs." Yan Kangping spread his hands with a helpless expression, but no matter how you look at it, it is dark or two.

Yang Hongkuang glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but complain: "You two are really geniuses after the break, why don't you choose liberal arts?" ”

Several college students in the dormitory chattered excitedly, and they were extremely curious about what kind of storage solution the Cote d'Azur would come up with, but it was certainly a big move, and it would not be weaker than the impact of LiFi on WiFi.

And people have long discovered a rule, as long as it is a new product released by Luo Sheng, it is a black technology product.

……

The scene of the press conference.

Luo Sheng took out the small remote control, and the barrage in the live broadcast room immediately swiped the screen, and the small remote control of the real protagonist archbishop finally appeared.

Luo Sheng on the stage looked back at the big screen and pressed the small remote control, and the giant screen immediately listed a set of image statistics panels, with three sets of data: linear statistical charts, bar statistical charts and fan statistical charts.

Luo Sheng looked up at the giant screen and calmly elaborated: "Before introducing the latest breakthrough products of our Cte d'Azur laboratory, let's take a look at a few sets of data. Under Moore's Law, we have seen an exponential increase in silicon chip storage capacity. At the same time, the speed at which we humans generate digital information is also exploding. ”

"Looking at the second set of data, as of 2015, data users generated more than 44 billion gigabytes of data every day. According to IDC's forecast, by 2025, this number will exceed 460 billion gigabytes, and the total amount of data generated globally that year will reach 160 zettabytes, or 160 trillion gigabytes. ”

"The third set of data, which is the prediction of Bluestar Technology, is that by 2020, the world may have more than 4.5 billion to 5 billion global people connected to the Internet, and the data generated by these new Internet users will also face large-scale growth."

As the world's largest Internet technology company, Bluestar Technology Group also has the slogan of connecting all mankind as the company's mission, and its data is also one of the authorities.

Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at the audience again.

"In short, we will soon generate much more data than we can already store, and while the current network service providers and major Internet companies are making huge profits from the new data nodes and traffic, this will also put significant pressure on the construction of data centers that can easily reach hundreds of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Last year, for example, Bluestar Technology spent more than $15 billion on the construction of new data centers, and in the same year, North America spent $80 billion on the construction of new data centers, making the capital of data center construction more than three times more than in 2014, nearly four times."

North American network service providers and cloud computing companies were stunned when they saw this.

What do you mean by that?

They suddenly felt that what Luo Sheng was expounding at the moment was implying that these investments might be wasted, lose their competitiveness, and become backward products?

If this is really the case, it is like a cannonball soaked in water, and it can't be shot at all, so you can't suffocate to death?

Eagle sauce did not hesitate to spend so much money last year, the purpose is to get rid of the data monopoly of Bluestar Technology and its strong position on the Internet.

If these network service providers in North America do not survive, the losses will far exceed the internal estimates they have set up.

Luo Sheng didn't know the expressions and reactions of the "international friends and business partners", and his eloquent voice was still heard at the press conference.

Another factor that cannot be ignored is that there is very little pure memory-level silicon in nature, and the researchers predict that it will be depleted around 2040. Then we have to find new solutions, and DNA may be perfectly suited to make humanity's storage crisis a thing of the past. ”

Speaking of which, a new demonstration screen appeared on the big screen behind Luo Sheng, with a striking double helix structure, which everyone knows is related to biology.

The audience ushered in an uproar, in fact, many people in the industry know that the Cote d'Azur is researching DNA storage technology, and the news has been spread six or seven years ago, but this thing is too magical, and there has been no news for so many years, and people don't think that this kind of black technology can make any fame, how to look at this thing gives people the feeling that it can only exist in science fiction movies.

But at this moment, Luo Sheng told everyone that the Cote d'Azur had also made a breakthrough in this black technology.

Luo Sheng said with a bright smile: "By encoding the data into tiny molecules in DNA, we can put the entire data center into several vials of DNA in the foreseeable future." ”

When everyone listened with a shocked face, Luo Sheng emphasized again: "The whole data center is put into a few small bottles of DNA, which sounds like a fantasy, but it is actually possible, this is not magic, this is science, science and technology change life, innovation changes the world, and most importantly, this technology was born in the CΓ΄te d'Azur laboratory." ”

Is this the CΓ΄te d'Azur counterattack?

Some foreign media reporters under the audience at the press conference fell into a stupor, and even a little doubted life, is the technology of the Cote d'Azur a little too strong?

In fact, they also know that the existence of the Cote d'Azur, as the world's largest R&D investment for five consecutive years, is really excessive if it does not produce results.

All this is both envious and sour.

And after the people of the WiFi Alliance fell into autism, the people of the SD Card Association also panicked and fell into autism, and they shot themselves in the foot in a textbook way, regretting that they were not at the beginning.

Knowing this, the day before yesterday said that he would not announce that Luo Sheng would be kicked out of the group, after ASML, the WiFi Alliance and the SD Card Association successfully contracted the laughing stock of the industry in the new year, providing the world with after-dinner conversations.

Other international friends are also unsuccessful at this moment, and they are hesitant to follow up, and they have to re-evaluate the future trend of this scientific and technological battle.

God knows how many ultimates Luo Sheng still has hidden in his pocket and hasn't taken them out? Will it be like the WiFi Alliance and the SD Card Association at this moment, waiting for you to make a move and then press out the black technology with your backhand?

Other international manufacturers are increasingly convinced that Luo Sheng must have sufficient backup plans, just waiting for them to make a move, but as it is today, they will see a move.

I'm afraid of anyone.
