Chapter 93: Data Center!
Neutron Star Technology wants to hide behind the scenes, become the most upstream company in the technology industry, and set the rules of the game.
What is the most upstream? It's a difficult concept to define.
Does the chip count upstream?
The absolute lifeblood of the whole electronics industry, the heart of the era of the Internet of Everything!
However, aside from the electronics industry, the silicon wafer that is required to make chips belongs to materials, and the wafer coating film needs chemical materials, not to mention photolithography and etching, which involves more complex things.
After making a chip, there is also a complex test and packaging!
All of these all show that it is difficult to become the apex of the industry, and even ...... It also depends on the person's face.
Don't doubt it, what if your chip is doing well, I don't sell your lithography machine, no matter how perfect your design is, you have to hold it in your stomach.
Your lithography machine is doing well, if you don't provide you with a top-level light source lens, you will be in vain, with a lens light source, you also need the ultimate mechanical precision!
When you become the apex of an industry, there is always another giant that restricts you.
The technological development of the whole world has long been entangled and inseparable.
If you want to break through and be the apex of the whole industry, technology and allies are indispensable, in addition, you also need a strong country to support you in the technology war!
The patent battle between supergiant Samsung and Apple is the best example of this.
The war between these two giants has not yet begun, but the results speak for themselves.
The weak stick country can't be tough in front of the United States at all, otherwise it will be difficult for Apple to bargain in front of Samsung, after all, Samsung's hardware is really strong.
Apple wants to compensate, and after Samsung gives it, it can raise the price of the hardware slightly, and it can be easily earned, and Apple can only suffer this dumb loss.
The same is a behemoth, only in the market capitalization in some gaps, in terms of technology may Samsung is even higher, but the several countries that can file a lawsuit all ruled that Apple won, except for the Australian kangaroo country.
If the parties exchange nationalities, the results may be reversed.
In the final analysis, even if most of Samsung's behind-the-scenes capital is in the United States, there is always a difference in affinity.
Ten years later, in the 5G war, it is too early to say that it is a complete victory, but among the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative and European and Mongolian countries, those who support Huawei still occupy the majority.
This is the benefit of a strong country, even if you do nothing, standing there is deterrence.
......
Back at the company, Zhong Zixing cleared his mind and began to be endlessly busy again.
The game engine development department led by Tang Ziqiang is in full swing, testing non-stop for the past few days, and even sleeping in the company, which is expected to be put into use in a few months.
At that time, the combination of the game engine Orion and the pan-entertainment game platform will be the beginning of truly dominating the world game market.
Any game developer can use Orion for free, just like Unreal Engine 4, but after the finished game is released, it will take 5% of the game's revenue, which is about the same price as many game engines, but the result will definitely be far from all the engines on the market.
Artificial intelligence andromeda gradually began to shine, and after the department cooperated with the government, many companies heard the wind from somewhere and came to the door to ask for cooperation.
From general punching in to access control, or assisting with business management, etc., Andromeda is infiltrating the entire industry.
Of course, this is a good thing, the more data Andromeda processes and the intelligence department keeps writing code and enhancing algorithms, her intelligence will gradually increase over time.
Another thing that is more labor-intensive and cost-intensive is the construction of a national database.
Lei Ming took the department to inspect all parts of the country, and the first stop was Guizhou Province.
As for why the first database was established in Guizhou Province, the first thing a company should consider is to save costs, and Neutron Star began to save money after establishing its headquarters.
The amount of servers and equipment invested in building a data center is astronomical, and most importantly, it consumes a huge amount of electricity.
The capital of Guizhou Province, as the battery of China Southern Power Grid, is relatively cheap, which can help companies that build databases here save a huge amount of electricity bills.
Even if the neutron star has a unique advantage over the server architecture, it will inevitably have a lot of loss.
Secondly, if the power is on for too long, after the server runs for a long time, it will produce a very high temperature, and you can stand it, but the server array is running at the same time, and the temperature is higher than the hottest place in the world.
The architecture of neutron star information technology reduces power consumption, but after a long time, the temperature will still rise, so the cooling equipment is very critical, which Guizhou Province has a natural advantage.
The temperature there is moderate, the temperature difference between the four seasons is relatively small, and even the natural wind blowing is external cooling.
At the same time, Guizhou Province has not been plagued by earthquakes and typhoons, and it is the most suitable site for establishing a database in China.
Just look at the world's top companies, those who have branches in China have basically established databases in Guizhou Province.
The main data of Neutron Star Technology Group is stored in its own headquarters, but other huge data has to be established outside the database.
The place where Lei Ming inspected was not only Guizhou Province, but also South China, Northwest China, Northeast China, Central China, and other places had to take a look, and a huge data network had to be laid.
Doing technology and doing the market, this is the most headache part.
However, the cloud computing and database of information technology must be marketed, so they can only work hard for a while.
......
It's the middle of the month again, and Zhong Zixing, who has been busy for a while, rarely has a short rest.
He made a pot of tea in his office and waited as he pondered the problem.
"Father, Chu Wang, the manager of the personnel department of the pan-entertainment company, is here, and he brought the person you made an appointment with!" The initial appearance of Andromeda appears on the computer at the desk, and the voice emerges from the speaker.
After a while, I saw two beautiful scenery outside the glass door of the office year.
In Neutron Star Technology, it is difficult to see female technicians, not that women are not accepted, but female programmers and engineers are really scarce in the industry, and there are a lot of academic studies.
But in high-intensity, high-level mental activities, the women who stand out are really very rare, and each one of them is a giant panda.
Except for the women in the personnel department, which are all led by Wu Wanrou, there are only two or three women in other high-level technical departments, who are directly offered by a group of straight men.
The glass door opened, Chu Wangduan pulled another elegant woman into the office, saw Zhong Zixing drinking tea leisurely, and directly began to complain:
"Boss Zhong, I worked hard to call your senior sister over, and you are drinking tea here?"
"Do you know that Senior Sister was just invited by Ah Li's Ma Yun, and I worked hard to invite her?"
