The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 843 Server Liquid Cooling Technology

"What kind of technology are you?" Zuckerberg couldn't help asking.

"This is our company's ultimate secret, so don't ask too much!" Boss Huang said very simply. In fact, this is actually the primary application of the pentary computer.

After the initial breakthrough, based on the quinary computer chip and programming language, this set of five elements data server was born.And although the performance of this set of servers has reached about five times that of the current strongest server, it actually uses very elementary pentary chips and architecture.

It's not that Boss Huang is hiding the technology, but that Jiangnan Group's technology can reach this step.Because the functions of data storage servers are relatively simple and do not require a large number of computing services, the progress of the current five-ary system can barely keep up, but if it involves complex computer computing chips, it is not the current The quinary system can be adapted.

So Jiangnan Group can only exit data-type servers at present. As for computing-type servers, it will have to wait a few more years.

It's as if a pyramid has just been built, and the nearest ones are data storage servers. The calculations they need are relatively simple, but the amount is very large, which is just right for the capabilities of the five-ary computer system.

Of course, it is impossible for Boss Huang to tell Zuckerberg about these situations, but he just refused to reveal all the answers in a very mysterious way.

"But what about the heat dissipation? Are your machines really turned on?" After learning that he couldn't know the secret of the Wuxing server, Zuckerberg could only turn his attention to the heat dissipation of this set of equipment up.

"Of course it's turned on!" Huang He smiled and said, "As for heat dissipation, haven't you noticed that these devices are connected by pipes?"

"That's true!" Zuckerberg's eyes lit up. Having said that, he really noticed the difference between these servers, that is, all servers have pipes one by one, and the pipes between multiple sets of equipment interconnected.

If you take a closer look, you will find that these pipes are actually inserted from the outside of the room, and then come out through an outlet.

"These tubes are for heat dissipation!" Zuckerberg is not stupid, and Huang He specifically named this point, so he quickly guessed that this may be the mystery of heat dissipation.

"Could it be that these tubes of yours contain low-temperature gas?" Zuckerberg frowned and guessed, "But if this is the case, the cost will be very high. It’s better to turn on the air conditioner directly to cool down!”

"No, it's not gas!" Boss Huang smiled slightly, and then said, "Actually, it's liquid!"

"Liquid!" Zuckerberg couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, and then said, "It's not impossible for you to use water cooling, but the power consumption of water cooling is actually not much less, and the cooling efficiency of water cooling is basically It can't suppress the high temperature of the server level, its heat conduction efficiency is not enough, and it can't suppress the server!"

"You are talking about the water-cooling technology used on the computer. It is followed by a copper heat sink to dissipate heat. Of course, the power is not enough. But what if I directly soak the chip in water? Is this heat conduction efficiency unmatched? ?” Huang He asked with a smile.

"Soak the chip directly in the water?" Zuckerberg was taken aback again, and then Huang He snapped his fingers, and a staff member opened the metal casing on the outside of a device, revealing the working server inside equipment.

After the server was opened, it was found that there were actually twenty groups of working chipsets inside, and these chipsets were completely enclosed in a transparent box, and the entire box was completely covered by liquid. Soaked, and these boxes are connected through a liquid pipe and a power data line, the liquid in the box is flowing at a high speed, continuously taking away the high temperature generated by the chips in operation.

And the liquid that flows out enters another server group that is working.

"These liquids are cooling fluids specially developed by us, which have complete insulation effect, and will never affect the conductivity of the entire server group, nor will it affect the normal operation of the server group."

"In fact, because these liquids completely isolate the effect of oxygen in the air, they can minimize the oxidation and erosion of the server owner, and can greatly improve the service life of the entire server group!"

"Normal server groups, after about three years of full operation, there will be serious server equipment aging, but this equipment will not be aging until 10 years later!"

"Because the root cause of aging is that the oxidation reaction erodes the performance of the metal, and completely immersing the entire server in water can almost eliminate the influence of the oxidation reaction!"

"At the same time, we adjusted the flow speed of the liquid very quickly, so that the heat generated by the chipset can be taken away at the fastest speed, and at the same time, 10 groups of servers can be connected in series!"

"Twenty groups of chipsets form a server group, and 10 server groups form a cooling group. This is the best cooling efficiency after our calculation. The temperature of the coolant entering the inlet of the entire cooling group is about 5 degrees. , and after passing through 10 cooling groups, the outflow temperature is about 32 degrees, which can still maintain the highest cooling efficiency and allow each group of servers to fully dissipate heat.”

Boss Huang explained in detail the working principle of this set of server groups.

"Wouldn't that require a huge amount of coolant!" Zuckerberg asked. "How much does it cost to make that coolant?"

"Not much. The circulating cooling liquid used in this computer room is about 3 liters, and the cost is more than 500 million US dollars. The average liquid is more than 100 US dollars per liter of liquid!"

"Of course, the price is indeed a little expensive, but the cost is worth it. If such a server group uses electricity for cooling, it can consume 500 million electricity bills in three months!" Huang He laughed.

"But don't you need to take away the temperature of these liquids?" Zuckerberg asked angrily, "Your cooling system should be circulating, so how do you restore the temperature of those 30-degree cooling liquids?" How about going back to 2 degrees?"

"This requires the use of natural power!" Boss Huang laughed and said, "I will tell you, in fact, the base is next to the sea, and in the 3-liter cooling system, 5000 liters of liquid are distributed throughout the entire cooling system." The computer room is circulated, and the other 0 liters are soaked in extremely deep seawater through extremely thin heat pipes, and the water temperature is maintained between 5 and [-] degrees!"

"The cooling liquid passes through the copper pipe, and it needs to be soaked in seawater for at least 20 minutes, so that the water temperature of 32 degrees can be lowered to about 5 degrees, and the entire cooling liquid cycle is completed!" Boss Huang smiled.

"Amazing!" Hearing Boss Huang's explanation, Zuckerberg had no choice but to praise Boss Huang's methods.

This method is indeed very awesome. The Yellow Crane actually uses the method of soaking in seawater to cool down, but the huge scale of the seawater, such a small temperature cannot have any impact on the seawater.

In this way, the entire cooling system has no cooling cost at all, and the temperature can be completely left to nature, and the electricity cost is free of any cost except for the pressurizer, which can reduce the electricity bill from several million dollars To the extent that it only costs a few thousand dollars.

Of course, the construction cost of this cooling system is very high, and it needs to be specially designed and located around the entire system. It is necessary to choose a special address close to the sea, and near the coast that can directly enter the deep sea area.

In addition, millions of dollars of cooling fluid are needed... But this cost is completely worthless compared to the heat dissipation and cooling pipes built on the seabed. For such a huge seabed heat dissipation system, the minimum Two $30 million to build.

But even if it costs two or thirty million dollars, it saves a huge amount of money, and it is different from the huge system that I originally planned to build in Colorado that uses the terrain of the valley and relies on wind to dissipate heat. How much money was saved.

"Boss Huang, have you applied for a patent for this cooling system?" Zuckerberg asked nastily. He thought the idea of ​​this cooling system was really great. If there was no patent, he would just copy it when he went back.

"Of course there are patents, but to be honest, if someone wants to bypass the patent, it's very easy!" Boss Huang said cheerfully, "But this coolant is indeed specially developed by our Jiangnan Group. You can't find it anywhere in the world." To the second type of coolant that can achieve the cooling effect of power. You know, the biggest problem of this entire cooling system is how to ensure that the coolant will not cause any interference to the operation of the computer. In order to develop this liquid, we have paid a lot cost more than hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"..." Zuckerberg stopped talking. It seemed that Boss Huang was determined to use the cooling fluid to make a fortune.

In fact, Boss Huang’s words are true or false. First of all, hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on the coolant, but the hundreds of millions of dollars were not actually spent on the coolant, but Tong He used it to develop black gold. properties and other compounds, these coolants are just the liquids that he created by the way during the research and development process, which is completely a surprise.

"In addition, because the heat generated by our servers is really high, the general heat dissipation system cannot support it at all, so the servers we sell will be directly equipped with such a liquid cooling system, so Mr. Zuckerberg does not have to worry about building an additional liquid cooling system. For those problems, our Jiangnan server will be responsible for helping you with the construction!" Boss Huang said cheerfully, "And this service is completely free, no fees are charged!".
