The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1148 Big Data Center

Originally, Boss Huang only planned to stay in Yizhou for seven days, but due to unexpected changes, Boss Huang inspected the whole southwestern area of ​​Yizhou for another seven days, and finally returned to Jincheng.

"How about the dam city model, can it be extended to the entire southwest region?" The relevant leaders couldn't wait to ask, obviously wanting to wipe out our boss Huang's wool.

Of course our Boss Huang is not so stupid. He shook his head and said, "I only found out after going to the more southwestern areas that the traffic in Bashi is actually pretty good. There are also basic roads that can connect those scenic spots. Although these roads are narrow and small, the foundation is there. As long as you spend money to widen them, it will not be a problem to build a complete transportation system."

"But the situation in the more southwestern areas is completely different. Many areas don't even have expressways. Do I have to invest in new expressways to connect these areas?" Boss Huang said with a frown.

"This is easy to handle! According to the plan, these areas will be connected by high-speed within 5 years!" The relevant leaders immediately patted their chests and assured, "The country has already allocated funds, and the problem of transportation is not a problem. Our goal is that within 5 years Let all the cities be connected to the highway, and all the villages will be connected by concrete roads within 10 years, do you think this is possible?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Huang He said with a smile, "But the development of these areas will wait until five years later. When will the relevant roads be built, and when will we consider the construction of scenic spots!"

The relevant leaders were immediately anxious when they heard it. Who knows what the situation will look like in five years? Boss Huang doesn't even know if that fat sheep is fat or not?
So these leaders dragged Boss Huang to complain for a while, making Boss Huang dizzy with what he said, and could only say directly, "Everyone, leaders, anyone with a discerning eye can see that most of my investment in Dam City is going to lose money. But Bashi is my hometown, and I admit that I lost some money to contribute to the elders of my hometown!"

"But the southwest region has little to do with me, and it's almost impossible to get back the money invested in tourism there. You can't let me lose tens of billions and tens of billions. Even if I am the richest man in the world, I have experienced I can't live with such a loss!" Boss Huang's words made all the leaders present a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say.

In fact, they also know that Huang He and Jiangnan Group are already taking advantage of such investment in the construction of the Bashi area. It is really too difficult to expect others to lose money and invest more. They just want to try it.

Just when this meeting seemed to be ending in such an imperfect way, Boss Huang suddenly said again, "Although those areas are not good for tourism, I found that it might not be too bad for a different project!"

"Oh! What project?" The surrounding leaders suddenly asked curiously.

"Super Data Center!" Boss Huang spit out a term that made everyone hear something inexplicable. Fortunately, Boss Huang also knows that most people don't understand what this super data center does at this time.

So Boss Huang immediately began to explain that with the development of domestic networks, broadband networks have basically spread across all regions of the country, and even 3G networks have begun to be deployed in some first-tier cities.

The development of the network has brought about even greater data traffic.

After all, the number of Internet users is constantly increasing, and the user's demand for Internet content is not increasing.

In 2001, users' needs for the Internet may only be able to chat with text in text chat rooms.

By 2003, this demand became a picture.

In another two years, the demand will become a small video again.

By 2008, this requirement had become to be able to smoothly browse TV drama-level videos on the Internet, which was a terrifying requirement for network and data processing.

If the network demand in 2001 was a small stream, then the current network demand is that the entire ocean may not be able to meet it.

And Jiangnan Group has a large number of network businesses. In addition to various network products under OO Network, the core business of Jiangnan Group is actually data services, that is, leasing the data capacity and space of its own servers to others who need a small amount. Data traffic, or simply the extremely large data traffic network companies provide data services.

According to Boss Huang, 21% of China's traffic now flows to its own server data processing center, which has already overloaded Jiangnan Group's server data processing capacity.

At the beginning, Jiangnan Group established two data processing centers in the north and the south. Later, the number of such data processing centers was expanded to five, and the servers inside were also constantly expanding, especially the data center in Wenzhou. It is said that in order to provide these servers The cooling has increased the water temperature in the surrounding sea area by 5 degrees, which has attracted protests from some public welfare organizations.

However, there are still not enough such data centers, and the Jiangnan Group is about to explode.

Therefore, Boss Huang plans to directly super-expand the entire data processing center at one time, and build 5 super data processing centers in 5 regions across the country.

The goal of these data processing centers is all network traffic in the next 30 years, so the data processing center occupies a large area. In the words of Boss Huang, it is enough to hollow out two or three mountains.

In addition, this area must be ventilated, and the temperature must be very cool. Only in this way can the terrifying heat generated by the super data processing center be able to be quickly eliminated.

Of course, the most important thing is that the electricity bill should be cheap. Now the data processing center in Wenzhou consumes more than 10 billion yuan in electricity bills every year...Boss Huang has even started to build his own power plant to meet the demand .

To sum up, when Boss Huang inspected the southeast of Yi Province, he was surprised to find that this is a good place.

First of all, due to the high terrain in the southwest region, the surrounding temperature is very cool, and can be maintained below 10 degrees all year round. After all, there are still snow-capped mountains around.

Moreover, the southwestern region is mountainous, and the wind speed between the valleys is also very strong, which is fully capable of taking away the huge amount of heat generated by the servers.The Jiangnan Group doesn't even need to build any factory buildings, just find a way to hollow out one or two mountains, and use the mountain as a factory building, which is the most perfect data center.

Finally, on the issue of electricity bills, I believe everyone has read a lot of news, that is, in the future, many mines will like to hide in those mountains in the southwest region.

It's not that these mines are there to deceive people, but because the electricity bills there are very cheap.

The southwest region is mountainous, with high terrain and a lot of water flow, which brings abundant hydropower resources and wind power resources. There are actually tens of thousands of small power plants in the southwest region, and these small power plants supply the entire The southwest region is more than enough, and about 70% of the electricity is in a state of waste.

Electric power resources are no better than others, especially those relying on hydropower and wind power for power generation. These will not be consumed because you use too much, and you can only waste them if you don’t use them. Therefore, the electricity price in the entire southwest region is very cheap. Generally speaking, everyone is encouraged to use it. electrical.

But the people in the southwestern region are poor and don't use much electricity.

On the contrary, the electricity price advantage here is very suitable for the super data processing center. After all, the demand of the super data processing center can never be worth so much spare power generation.

To sum up, Boss Huang expressed his willingness to build this super data processing center in Southwest China, hoping to get support from relevant units.

Boss Wang said that the investment in this super data processing center is at least tens of billions of dollars, and it may even rise to hundreds of billions in the future, depending on how China's network develops.

But when Boss Huang finished explaining, there was no over-excitement on the scene, which was far less enthusiastic than the scenic spot plan proposed by Boss Huang before.

However, Boss Huang is not surprised by this, because the scenic spot plan is a large-scale infrastructure project. Once it is launched, it will bring huge demand for construction. First of all, it will create more than 10 jobs in construction.

And after these scenic spots are built, the continuous consumption brought by the flow of people is even more coveted.

But on the contrary, this super data processing center is different. The only infrastructure is to hollow out the mountain, and the demand for capacity is very low, which can be met by a large construction company.

The core cost of this data processing center is actually the servers, but these servers are all produced by the Jiangnan Group itself, and they are self-produced and sold locally, so they don't get any benefits locally.

Perhaps the only one that can get benefits is the power industry, which can charge hundreds of millions more in electricity bills every year, and that's it. For the leaders, it is far from enough.

Boss Huang knew this very well, so he quickly went on to say, "The super data processing center is a foundation, and we have a more core project, which will follow the super data processing center, and this project can It will bring a huge industry with a scale of hundreds of billions or even trillions!"

"Trillion scale?" Everyone at the scene was stunned. Boss Huang is too good at bragging. He said that the scale is trillions. The game industry in the world is only a trillion scale.

On the contrary, Boss Huang is very serious, "Everyone, I don't mean to deceive everyone. Because the industry I mentioned will lead the development of the entire world in the future, and this industry is the artificial intelligence industry!"

"Artificial intelligence?" Boss Huang doesn't need to explain the term. After all, humans have proposed the concept of artificial intelligence more than 100 years ago, and everyone knows what it means.

But why does this sentence sound so floating?
"Mr. Huang, please forgive us for speaking bluntly. The concept of artificial intelligence has a history of nearly a hundred years. However, no matter how advanced a computer is, it seems that it is not qualified to be called artificial intelligence. This industry may not develop so fast. !” A leader said with a smile.

This is actually very polite.

"No, the era of artificial intelligence has already begun with the launch of the quinary computer by our Jiangnan Group. Because the quinary computer is the most suitable computer for big data integration calculations and learning, its speed in artificial intelligence calculations It is more than 5 times that of a binary computer, and within a year or two at the earliest, a large number of artificial intelligences will surely arrive and begin to lead the development frenzy of the entire world."

"Then let's wait until a year or two later!" Someone said in a strange way.

"Hehe, I'm talking about large-scale emergence. In fact, the first artificial intelligence developed by our Jiangnan Group has already been born in our Jiangnan Artificial Intelligence R&D Center. I will introduce him to everyone now!" Boss Huang After speaking, he took out the universe terminal in his hand.

Some keen people found that the shape of the universe terminal in Boss Huang's hands seems to be different from the shape of the terminal sold on the market. This is obviously a brand new, unreleased model!
"Come on, student Houtu, say hello to all the leaders here?" Boss Huang said to his terminal, looking like an idiot.

Then, a slightly playful voice came out from the terminal, "Okay! Dear Mr. Huang He, hello everyone, I am Houtu, an artificial meteorological and geological prediction artificial intelligence developed by Jiangnan Group. All future meteorological and geological disasters , can't escape my pinch!"
