Intel does not feel any crisis for this "resurgent" challenger, but Inert is not indifferent to this, people are blatantly about to invade your territory, peeking into the hinterland of Intel's chip kingdom, of course you can't bear it.

So, the day after the news was announced, in response to this matter, a vice president of engineering of Intel Corporation unceremoniously posted on the international version of MicroBlog:

"A turkey you buy can't be turned into a phoenix."

This sentence did not name names, but an Intel executive made such a sentence at this time.

Obviously, this is not difficult to decipher.

The technology media also quickly reported the matter, as for the Cote d'Azur, there was no response to Intel's ridicule of this red fruit, and Luo Sheng was busy climbing technology, how could he have time to tear up with Intel's people on the Internet.

In the following days, Luo Sheng began to gradually withdraw from the company's daily operation and management, and quickly completed the merger and reorganization of Sony's cell business, and it may be difficult to merge and acquire foreign companies in the high-tech industry as smoothly as it is now.

Because the general environment is quietly reversing, Luo Sheng is taking one step and looking at three steps, with the financial crisis, in the next ten years, China has officially entered a comprehensive "super-British catch-up with the United States" take-off and soaring decade.

At the same time, Americans' attention is constantly shifting from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific region, to be precise, the degree of interest in China is getting better every year.

As the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird.

The two tech giants created by Luo Sheng can now be said to be postcards of Huaguo Technology Company, which is reaping profits and expanding around the world.

There is no need to think or have illusions, once the Americans find that they can't afford to play, they will inevitably play hooligans, and the first one will definitely be to attack these two companies, and the suppression will definitely come as scheduled.

Of course, Luo Sheng will not choose to sit still, and the overseas market will definitely face many problems in the future, but there is an old saying that there is no endless road.

After the financial crisis, the consumption power of the Greater China market began to explode in full force, which is a supermarket with a population of 1.3 billion, and its explosive power is shocking and wonderful.

At the moment, at the end of 2008, China's Internet users officially exceeded 300 million, and the growth rate is soaring at a double-digit scale.

There is no doubt that Luo Sheng's next strategic layout will inevitably be the focus of gravity gradually from overseas to the mainland, if the overseas market occupied 80% of the center of gravity in the past, then Luo Sheng hopes to achieve a balance between the mainland market and the overseas market, each accounting for about 50%, the mainland may be a little heavier.

The fundamental purpose of shifting the strategic focus is to enhance one's ability to resist attacks.

We don't expect the worst to happen, but we have to prepare for the worst, and if we assume that our business in overseas markets suffers a major setback, we can take advantage of the sheer size of the mainland market.

And the core problem is the "spare tire plan", not only to break through the comprehensive technical blockade of foreigners in the future, but also to surpass and occupy the commanding heights of science and technology in core science and technology, as long as this can be ensured, the ultimate winner must be himself, but also Huaguo.

As soon as the trip to Japan ended, Luo Sheng began to be the shopkeeper after returning to China, and took out himself to be fully responsible for Pan Technology, the daily operation of the Cote d'Azur was handed over to Yao Jianhong, and Bluestar Technology was handed over to Zhang Bowen.

Now with the assistance of the artificial intelligence Cortana, Luo Sheng can learn about the latest situation of the two companies anytime and anywhere without going to the company.

Cortana regularly reports to him on both companies every week.

……

Today is the odd-numbered day of the week, Luo Sheng is in Qin Weimu's private mansion, and on the even-numbered day, it is on Erin's side, this situation has been going on for more than two months, and it seems that the two girls have reached a tacit consensus.

Since that time they met in the science and technology complex building, they basically haven't seen each other, and the two women didn't pierce the last layer of paper at that meeting, but it makes no difference whether they pierce it or not.

Luo Sheng tried to accomplish the feat of "reunification", but found it too difficult, so he temporarily gave up the idea.

Eat the rice one bite at a time.

Their rejection of each other is like two parallel lines that cannot intersect, just like the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics in physics, and those who try to unify these two cornerstones of modern physics end up in disarray.

But it's actually good to stay in the way it is.

At night, Luo Sheng, who came out of the bathroom, came to the bedroom: "Baby, it is very important to give you a new task at work." ”

Qin Weimu: "Say it." ”

Luo Sheng came to the side of the bed and sat down next to her, stroking the slender and white beautiful legs like jade and sliding back and forth, and said thoughtfully: "You start to set up a venture capital fund, this is a strategic investment fund, only invest in the gem of the emerging technology industry, mainly in the field of semiconductors in the early stage, it does not enter the Cote d'Azur, nor does it enter the Blue Star Technology, the source of funds for the investment fund is obtained from our family fund." ”

It is not advisable to fight alone, the efficiency is too slow, and the technological blockade from foreign countries may come faster than expected, being a strategic investor, supporting the entire industrial chain is the best way out, focusing on the key points by yourself, and then leading a group of little brothers to fly together, and playing the role of "martial arts alliance leader" in this river and lake.

Qin Weimu asked, "How much is the first capital injection?" ”

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said: "Let's do about 200 billion first, and we will definitely add it one after another." ”

Qin Weimu wrote down this in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Luo Sheng: "There is nothing else, if there is, I will talk about it tomorrow, the palace is lacking, let's sleep." ”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Obey!" ”

……

The next day, Qin Weimu began to set up this strategic venture capital fund, and she was in charge of the family fund, and this kind of work was also handy for her.

During this period, Luo Sheng left Sioux City with a group of cloud computing team technicians of Bluestar Technology Group, and this time he had to go on a long trip, but not abroad, but to sea.

He took a technical team to the coast of the East China Sea on one of his huge private luxury yachts, about 12 nautical miles from the coast of the Yangtze River Delta.

"Boss, what are you bringing us to this place for?" An engineer accompanying him couldn't help but ask curiously, most of the company's internal R&D personnel and engineers use this title, and few people call him Mr. Luo or something.

Luo Sheng looked at the endless coastline, where some staff members were busy and several sailors and technicians were debugging the submersible device.

"Of course, I'm not here for sightseeing, I'm going to sink the super data center of the future to the bottom of the sea."

As soon as these words came out, several engineers accompanying them couldn't help but be surprised.

Putting a data center under the sea?

Isn't this a bit big?

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "If you want to build a hyperscale data center on the bottom of the sea, you should watch the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" a few times, because engineers will have to defend themselves against mermaid attacks like sailors. ”

Of course, this is a joke, and everyone can hear the meaning.

As you can imagine, there are a variety of challenges associated with deploying a data center on the ocean floor.

A researcher next to Luo Sheng muttered, "...... The foundation had to be built, broadband had to be provided, and the destructive mix of power and water had to be provided, and maintaining a data center under the sea was an absolute nightmare for engineers. ”

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "That's right, when the company entered the field of cloud computing in a big way, I was already thinking that the data center should be not too far away from the place where the population lives, and it does not need to occupy land resources. There are a lot of difficulties, and it goes without thinking about it, we are doing things that have never been done before, and the Americans have not done it, so we have to figure it out on our own, but it is worth our time to invest in researching new solutions. ”

There is no doubt that there are many technical difficulties that must be overcome to sink a data center to the bottom of the sea, but there are many reasons or benefits for it.

First, the available "land", a large amount of coastal seabed has not been utilized, and these lands are free, and the land on land is limited, and the land in large cities is even more valuable.

Second, tidal energy, which can use the movement of the ocean to generate carbon-neutral electricity, is also a natural resource.

Third, cooling, "hot aisle" is a huge cost of each data center, which is currently being built or has been built by Bluestar Technology Group more than a dozen large data centers have proved that the group company uses its own air cooling zone in the data center area, but this is only suitable for mild climates, if it is in more extreme places, it will need to use air coolers. Seawater is cold, and if it can be pumped to the right place to take the heat away, it can provide adequate cooling.

Fourth, bandwidth, the backbone of the Internet and every global cloud is located on the ocean floor, and those pipes that connect to the sea reduce the latency that comes with packets.

Fifth, population distribution, the vast majority of the world's population generally lives near the coast, most of the cities are around the coast, and Huaguo has a long coastline, the data center needs to be as close to the population as possible, and the benefits of choosing to sink to the coastal seabed are self-evident.

The last point is that it can be quickly redeployed, and the data center is dedicated to the computer and storage payloads. When it comes to replacing payloads, demolition and rebuilding are usually cheaper because they don't require much expensive land billing, and if the subsea system solution is done, Bluestar Technology Group will undoubtedly change the world of computing and storage much faster.

The layout plan of the group company in the field of cloud computing is only the beginning of the current large-scale data center in the next ten years, and it will even build more than 200 data centers around the world in the future.

The cost of this is exaggerated.

In addition to subsea data centers, there are other solutions, all of which are tailored to local conditions, for example, in the subsequent construction of data centers, the European side can make full use of the free air conditioning provided by the Arctic Circle, instead of needing expensive electricity bills in exchange for air conditioning.

For example, the 17th data center will be built in Finland next year, and the 18th data center is still in Europe, and the exact location is selected in a large city near the Arctic Circle.

It's all about reducing construction costs, making it easier for these infrastructures to be powered by local, renewable natural energy, and even improving performance.

But the key solution is subsea data centers, which are also concentrated in coastal areas, making the need for subsea data centers self-evident.

Once the technical difficulties are overcome, the data center can be deployed in any coastal area around the world, with little to no customization, just throw it away, of course, this is just a simple and crude description, in fact, to achieve this goal requires the support of quite a few innovative technologies, including marine technology, materials, etc.

Luo Sheng is also hard enough, and now he has not only gotten rid of the daily cumbersome operation and management of the two companies to lead the development of technology, but also fought from the land to the bottom of the sea for the new generation of computing and storage.
