Chapter 253: The Underwater World

From Kolkata all the way to the south, the color of the impact sediment brought by the Ganges Delta gradually cleared, the sea water of the Bay of Bengal returned to its blue color, and about 300 kilometers away from Kolkata, there are navigation beacons, and the sea area enclosed by it is more than a dozen square kilometers. It is an enclave of Kolkata and the lifeblood of Kolkata, with circular pontoons suspended at a depth of more than 300 meters below the buoy, and the largest data center in the entire South Asian continent is built.

Galava's new home is also located here, after escaping from Jabr, Galava and the surviving neighbors considered their utopian community after dealing with the victims, and when discussing with more than a dozen survivors, Galava pointed out that the future community must be built underwater, he did not dare to determine the cause of the fire, but his instinct told him that the political negotiations in Geneva were just a temporary illusion, and that artificial intelligence inherited human greed and would never coexist peacefully with human beings, and to escape the world of artificial intelligence, Only underwater time that is impenetrable to the wireless energy information network is safe.

For the location of the underwater world, everyone invariably thinks of the Kolkata data center in the Bay of Bengal, if the underwater biological module is built under the largest data center in South Asia, it is definitely much safer than the deserted Jabr. Fortunately, the boss of the Kolkata data center is an old friend of Galawa in the early years of Apple, for Galava's request, he agreed, in fact, he has his own considerations, the oceans around the world have established underwater data centers, the Bay of Bengal typhoons are frequent, the underwater data center has to go deep 300 meters underwater, the cost is high, especially to maintain the underwater photovoltaic power station, the Kolkata data center does not have a very outstanding competitiveness in operation, fortunately, it is close to the South Asian market, otherwise it would have been closed long ago, Therefore, the Kolkata data center must develop new services.

After obtaining the license of the Kolkata data center, Galawa encountered a new problem, when it came time to build a biopod in Bangalore, Galawa was able to use almost local materials, even from the garbage collection network of Qunli Technology, they could find the equipment they needed, and they could enslave any robot for free labor. But now that the new law has been passed, even the use of a piece of AI code has been compensated, the underwater biopod has become a huge investment, raising funds has become the primary problem, and the Kolkata data center has only been able to make a symbolic sponsorship.

For this reason, Galava had to send a request to the utopian community around the world, but more than a year has passed, and the progress has not been great, Galava has also come up with a plan to modify the bio-cabin for his dream, and in the face of tight funds, he has instead expanded the size of the bio-cabin, expanding the bio-pod to the size of thousands of people, by selling the occupancy permits in it, trying to raise enough funds, Galava's bold idea seems to have worked, and there is more and more interest in his plan, and finally the foundation from Busan has generously donated, allowing him to establish the world's largest underwater community, Kolkata One, in the waters of the Kolkata data center.

Departing from Kolkata in a solar-powered inefficient plane, it takes less than an hour to taxi to the entrance of Kolkata-1, a giant parabolic antenna covering the sea level that is used to receive data from communication satellites to maintain data exchange between Kolkata-1 and the world of the Wireless Energy Information Network.

The Kolkata No. 1 and South Asian continent traffic dock is built next to the parabolic antenna, from the pier down four vertical elevators through the 300-meter-deep sea water to reach the Kolkata No. 1 body, Kolkata No. 1 is divided into three cabins through the underwater plank road: material area, work area and living area, each cabin is designed as a cylinder with a diameter of 120 meters and a height of 300 meters, fixed on the seabed by an anchor chain, and the cylindrical interior completely imitates the building structure of the land world, and thousands of residents live with it. sustaining their little world.

It's not a primitive society, it's not a dungeon, it's all smart devices on land, and even more advanced in the material area. The only difference between Kolkata 1 and the terrestrial civilization is that there is no wireless energy information network, and all electricity is transmitted by wire. Thanks to the sponsorship of the Busan Foundation, an expensive analog signal network has also been laid so that residents can communicate using low-power brainwave exchange stickers. In short, this is a completely green human world, a veritable utopia, but Galava knows that it is indeed a utopia from an economic point of view, and there is no possibility of replicating it.

But it was this hugely expensive underwater world that attracted the attention of thousands of people around the world, and the number of ground flights from the port of Kolkata to the Underwater World Marina increased from once a day to a quarter of an hour, attracting visitors from all over the world, and finally, the residents of One Kolkata had to start selling tickets to limit the endless stream of visitors.

Galava was appointed as a reception officer by the residents of Kolkata No. 1 to receive those distinguished visitors from early in the morning, no, today there is another special guest, he is none other than Park Jung-woo, who has come from Seoul. The young Park Jung-woo was very interested in Kolkata No. 1, obviously he had done his homework before coming, and he could tell every detail of the fund-raising prospectus that Galavan had made public that year, and Garawa took him to visit the energy management area according to the conventional route, but Park Jung-woo skipped it, "I have understood this, you are sharing the photovoltaic power station of the Kolkata data center, and if there is no Kolkata data center, how can the underwater world get electricity?" ”

"In fact, there are already many reserves of technology now, and the marine agriculture company in Tel Aviv has cultivated a seaweed that can directly photoelectric action, and if it is cultivated on a large scale in shallow sea areas, this seaweed can solve the power self-sufficiency of the underwater world." Galava stated his intentions.

"Then why not popularize this technology?"

"I heard that Saturn Energy has acquired this technology from Ocean Agriculture, and energy companies that focus on photovoltaics are reluctant to see bioenergy technology advance." Galava explained.

Park Jung-woo didn't ask any more questions, they came to the air purification management unit, and in the face of the huge heat exchanger, Park Jung-woo was interested, "What is the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the outside now?" ”

Galava gestured to the glowing board next to him, and the numbers on it were bouncing up and down at 95.6%, "How did you do that?" Can I go in and see the structure inside? Park Zhengyu asked, Galava's face was difficult, he looked at the entourage behind Park Zhengyu, and said, "The space inside is relatively small, I'm afraid there is no way to get in so many people." ”

Park Zhengyu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I'll go in with you first." ”

Galawa opened a small door and led Park Jung-woo into the heat exchange area, Park Jung-woo closed the door casually, "Mr. Galava, how much budget will it cost to build an underwater world in the waters of Busan?" ”

"What?" Galava thought he had misheard, and forgot to answer for a moment.

"Building an underwater world in the waters of Busan." Park Jung-woo must have said, "Do you think I'm here to visit your community?" I've seen it many times in virtual reality. ”

"This, this depends on the scale." Galava couldn't tell what Park Jung-woo meant.

"It can accommodate the entire Busan human race, tens of millions of people." Park Jung-woo's voice was not loud, but it startled Galava, he didn't dare to speak casually, so he had to reply, "Our small community has less than a thousand people, and it costs about 40 billion alliance currency budget. “

"With the League of Nations' revenues don't seem to be a problem." Park Jung-woo said.

"No, no, you can't calculate it like this, the cost of an underwater city that can accommodate tens of millions of people is definitely not a simple multiple relationship compared to ours, I am afraid that all kinds of unpredictable expenses will rise exponentially, this is a more complex project than the space power station back then." Galava couldn't imagine how such a project could be realized, and he thought Park Jung-woo was joking.

"The global popularization of four-kilowatt wireless transmission technology is about to pass the vote of the League of Nations Parliament, many people know its harm to biological Homo sapiens, but I can't do anything, even some human parliamentary representatives are carried away by greed and are ready to vote in favor, human beings must build their own pure land." Park Jung-woo glanced at Galava, "That's why the Busan Foundation supports you." “
