Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 336: Data empire

Alpha’s headquarters is beautiful, with a clear river flowing quietly. Behind the factory headquarters is a small mountain forest, lush and overgrown with evergreen redwoods. This tree grew from the Jura. The epoch began, the diameter of the trunk is huge, the bark is thick, and it has a strong ability to avoid pests and fire. Alpha can fully carry out robotic mountain experiments in this forest.

Of course, the most wonderful thing is to count the weather here. The weather here is sunny and the air humidity is moderate. People need to be more energetic when living here.

Currently, Leibert of Boston Dynamics serves as the head of Alpha, which is eo.

Henry made a special trip to Alpha Company. After entering the factory, he saw a lot of strange machine limbs, mainly arms and feet. After a while, Libert rushed over after hearing the news. Libert was about forty, with a high nose, slightly smaller eyes, and wearing a pair of round glasses. There was a strand of scum on his mouth, which was obviously not shaved. His hair is very short, which is considered a popular hairstyle right now!

Henry's hairstyle is also short, because once his hair grows, it takes some time to take care of it. Henry doesn't have the energy to do these things. Some people have long hair to be handsome, but Henry has reached the point where he does not need to be handsome. He only needs to stand in the crowd, he is the most handsome, he is the most eye-catching existence!

Henry looked at Libert, and naturally, Libert was also looking at Henry. Henry wore a white shirt on top and a pair of black slacks on the bottom. His face was well-defined and handsome, especially his eyes were deep and bright, shining with the light of wisdom.

After Leibert and Henry greeted him, he took Henry to the main office building. It was a Mediterranean-style building in the middle of the 18th century. The red tiles and white walls created a simple architecture and nature. Texture. Henry and a group of people took the elevator to the third floor, got out of the elevator, turned a corner to the right, and then walked into a large laboratory.

Leibert introduced: "Mr. Williams, Boston Dynamics was planning to develop a robot called ‘BigDog’, which is a simulation of a four-legged puppy."

While talking, Libert turned on the computer. He showed Henry a picture and said, "This is the design concept of BigDog!"

Henry looked at it and said to his heart that, sure enough, the original BigDog is very similar to the BigDog robot they first exposed in 2005!

At this time, Leibert continued to introduce: "We plan to choose hydraulic actuators as joint drive components, which can improve some of the shortcomings of traditional hydraulic systems, and then integrate the hydraulic actuators with the quadruped mechanism reasonably and skillfully. In this way, we can form a perfect body that is both strong and powerful, flexible and flexible! Of course, all of this is just our imagination! We need to do a lot of experiments to sum up experience, so as to make a perfect BigDog robot! In addition, we have to consider the balance problem of BigDog's motion control, which mainly considers several factors, namely its own posture, terrain conditions and motion conditions. Therefore, we need a very good control algorithm!"

Henry nodded and said, "So, Alpha's first robot project is BigDog?"

"No, there is RobotWare a warehouse robot!" Leibert laughed. "The warehouse robot RobotWare previously studied by Nicholas Robots is already very mature. We decided to start these two research projects at the same time!"

"Leibert, in my opinion, RobotWare can still be used commercially, but what about BigDog? It seems difficult to achieve commercialization!"

"BigDog was originally designed for the military. For the time being, it is really difficult to achieve profitability!" Leibert replied, "However, the technology is the same. As long as we successfully manufacture BigDog, commercial development in the future is also feasible. of!"

Henry nodded clearly, and Boston Dynamics merged into Alpha. The cooperation between Boston Dynamics and the military is transferred to the cooperation between Alpha and the military.

Henry then went to visit another place. After he was finished, Henry stood in the office to rest. He walked to the window and looked at the wide square not far away. At this moment, the images of rows of robot army standing there neatly lined up in my mind! Among them, there are robots "humans", robots "dogs" and so on. All kinds of them are spectacular!

...

...

Henry returned to San Jose, and the team that happened to investigate the location of the data center came back. Therefore, the global data center strategic plan is about to start!

The location of the data center is not simply a place to build a data center, which will involve many things, such as electricity, water power, environmental impact, coverage, and distance, etc., after a detailed analysis Only after calculation can we decide!

Henry expects to build a total of 50 large data centers around the world, including 20 in the United States, 12 in Europe, 1 in Russia, 1 in South America, 4 in Asia and so on! The average construction cost of each data center is as high as US$2 billion. In other words, Henry will invest 100 billion US dollars in total this time!

Once the news was revealed, it immediately caused a global media sensation.

Although Noah's Ark's blade server has been developed, it has not been announced to the outside world, but has been in stock. Henry wants to build so many data centers, it will inevitably need a large number of blade servers, Noah's Ark is too late to produce, naturally will not sell.

The outside world does not know the situation, nor does it at all understand what Henry Williams invested 100 billion US dollars to build a data center for!

The concept of cloud technology, cloud computing, and cloud storage is simply not there now. People don't know the significance of what Henry did!

Many people call Henry a lunatic, fool, and prodigal!

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

"It's not like burning money. Spending 100 billion US dollars to build a data center has a shit!"

"Yeah, isn't a data center just a lot of servers, so many need to be built?"

"Hehe, Henry Williams must have been brainstorming this time!"

"The aura of genius is going to drop!"

"The stupidest decision of the century!"

Supreme Waste Wood Summoner

"..."

At this time, countless media wanted to interview Henry, but Henry refused to interview.

No matter how the outside world doubts, once Henry decides, he will never change it.

With this investment in the construction of a data center, Henry decided that all companies under his name that need cloud services will invest together. In fact, almost all companies use cloud services!

However, when Henry's decision was announced, it caused a huge uproar and opposition.

Almost no one is optimistic about this investment, stockholders and small shareholders have expressed their opposition. On that day, the share prices of major listed companies under Henry's name all declined to varying degrees! However, Noah's Ark is the only company whose market value has soared, exceeding US$200 billion!

Because all servers in the data center will be purchased from Noah's Ark Company, investors are almost overjoyed!

"Support Mr. Williams' decision!"

"Henry Williams has a great vision. He is a super genius. This time building a data center will definitely have a lot of meaning, and it will definitely make a lot of money in the future!"

"..."

Countless shareholders of Noah's Ark Company are all cheering for Henry. If this is caused, the market value of Noah's Ark will continue to rise!

Henry thought about it carefully. The Internet has developed much faster than in the past, and he has been contributing to the flames, and the future development speed will also be faster. It is totally possible to build a data center. Moreover, the establishment of the data center is phased, divided by location, and sequenced. It does not mean that 50 data centers will be established at the same time!

Once the data center is established, it will greatly enhance the competitiveness of Internet companies!

Isearh has a data center ~lightnovelpub.net~ Search is faster and more accurate.

With a data center in iq, all user data can be retained.

Nicholas International E-commerce has a data center, and users are familiar with their shopping habits and push advertisements accurately!

The effect is too great, too much.

And with the data center, the development speed of intelligent software will show a leap-forward development!

Henry has another purpose, that is, monopoly.

Having established such a huge data center so early, almost all the companies that want to get involved in this industry will hesitate to move forward. Because the users have been robbed by Henry, if they come to do cloud services again, the risk is too great!

But Henry can build a data empire with a large number of data centers! ! !

(This is the first shift. Next, there should be two shifts.)
