Guizhou Province, referred to as Guizhou, has developed in four words since ancient times - "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!
It has many mountains, waterfalls, continuous rain, and unique karst landforms, resulting in scarce cultivated land and poor traffic.
The saying "the sky is never clear for three days, the land is never three feet flat, and the people are never three taels of silver" refers to Guizhou, where the allusion of "Yelang is arrogant" comes from.
All things considered, Guizhou is most famous for its "Moutai" liquor, and the profits and taxes contributed by just one liquor company account for nearly one-seventh of the province's fiscal revenue.
However, with the changes of times and technology, and under the historical trend of national policies tilting towards the central and western regions, Guizhou began a miraculous counterattack...
There are bridges wherever there are mountains. Guizhou accounts for nearly half of the top 100 high bridges in the world.
When there is plenty of water, we generate electricity. If there is too much electricity, we can’t use it up and sell it to Guangdong and other southeastern coasts.
If there are many pitfalls, use your "eyes in the sky" to explore aliens and the origin of the universe.
Although it borrowed money for development and had a lot of debt, various infrastructure and tourism projects still gave this inland province a new lease of life, and the growth rate of Ji Didi Pei jumped to the top three in the country.
For Internet companies, Guizhou has unique geographical advantages.
Big data centers consume a lot of electricity, and Guizhou is rich in resources. The electricity price is 456 yuan per kilowatt hour, which is much lower than the national electricity price.
The "summer-type" climate with cold winters, cool summers, and low temperatures all year round is also very conducive to server heat dissipation.
Guizhou is dominated by hydropower. Servers run moderately and have a long lifespan. Unlike thermal power, which is too frantic, the CPU hard disk spins fast but has a short lifespan.
In addition, if you want to build a well-protected data center in a plain area, you must try to avoid damage from external forces such as geological disasters.
This requires building an "artificial mountain" on flat ground to provide external protection, or digging a huge basement underground and relying on the thick soil layer on the surface for protection.
Guizhou, on the other hand, has few geological disasters and no threats of earthquakes, typhoons and floods.
"Guizhou..." Hu Yifei thought for a while and said with some doubts.
"Is it too remote? Even if it is not built in Sioux City, we can find a suitable location around Sioux City.
After all, in terms of computing demand, the developed eastern coast is the core market.
This distance is too far, and the energy consumption and efficiency of information transmission will inevitably be affected."
What he said was actually a bit selfish.
After all, Hu's father is a political party, and investing in Su City is equivalent to increasing Hu's political achievements, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders.
Gao Yuan seemed to have seen through the other person's thoughts and explained patiently.
"This cloud computing center is the top priority for the future of Baiyeji Group and even the entire Wanwu Holdings system, so we need to consider not only the current development situation, but also the future development potential.
Guizhou is a decision made after comprehensive consideration and careful consideration!
With the advent of the intelligent era, the amount of data processing in the future will inevitably see a spurt in demand growth.
We have used big data to study national development policies in recent years, and using the computing power of the west to run data from the east to complement each other's advantages will inevitably become a future development trend.
This will even be another national-level project for the country that is not inferior to the West-to-East Electricity Transmission and West-to-East Gas Transmission.
It is said that Juchang is planning to invest 8 billion to build a large-scale data center in Guizhou, which will save more than 600 million in electricity bills every year.
Major domestic manufacturers have given us a front-row seat, which is enough to illustrate the development potential of this place...
Moreover, Guizhou is located in the middle of the country, which is more conducive to our future business expansion across the country.
But don't worry, Bai Yeji's headquarters will always be in Suzhou, and the computing center here will also be built, but it will be more used to handle some low-latency computing needs.
But Su City does not have the location advantage to build a very large computing center..."
Super... super large computing center?!
Hu Yifei's heart was beating wildly, "Um...Sister Gao, how much money are we going to invest in this computing center?"
"The first phase is 2 billion, and there is no cap on subsequent investment."
"Hiss~"
This is really aimed at the specifications of a "big factory"...
With Baiyeji's current size, what kind of development and growth rate does it need to prepare such a powerful backup computing power in advance?
Moreover, once the shipyard is invested, Bai Yeji will only have a total amount of funds left, and there is no limit... Is this what the co-author's 2 billion installment payment is for?
With this kind of gameplay, it will be a disaster when you have enough funds...
Hu Yifei felt a little numb as one big project after another hit his head.
Investment in shipyards, automatic driving of oil tankers, cloud ERP, cloud computing centers in Suzhou and Guizhou...
Even if others are prepared, they only register a company for a certain project.
Bai Yeji is a bit strange. The company has just been established, and the project tasks are like beans falling from the sky, one after another.
He began to doubt whether he, the newly minted Bai Yeji CEO, would have weekends off from now on...
…
Hu Yifei was sent away who was excited and in a somewhat complicated mood.
Gao Yuan opened her notebook, made a brief summary of the work progress during the recent period, and then sent it.
There is no contact person written on the other end of the address book, but a code name for "Wallfacer".
Such text exchanges have become the main way for Gao Yuan and Meng Lang to exchange intelligence and information...
After waiting for a while, the other person seemed to have finished reading the message and typed a line of text.
[The work progress is gratifying, but I still have some special construction requirements for our cloud computing center.]
【What are the requirements?】Gao Yuan asked.
[Hmm...its protection level would be better if it were higher.]
[It should be so, after all, it is important data, and security must be paid attention to. 】
[No, I mean, its resistance to blows should be stronger. 】
[Anti-strike ability?] Gao Yuan raised her eyebrows.
Could it be that they are worried about the Night Demons stealing the house?
Well...if that human enemy is really as strong as Meng Lang said, then it is quite necessary to improve the protection of our own important core facilities...
[What specific protection standards need to be met?]
[Standard...the kind that can withstand nuclear attack is best.]
Gao Yuan: "..."
For the first time, she finally had a sense of "participation" in the world war...
…
Seeing that there was no new reply from the other party, Meng Lang silently turned off the communication.
“I usually complain that I hide all kinds of secrets, but what’s the result?
He lost his voice after just leaking a little bit. His psychological quality needs to be improved urgently..."
This computing center is the brain of Future Zero, and may also become the control center for massive armed robots.
Countless film and television works tell us that in the face of the endless mechanical craze, if you can't fight A, then the only way to defeat it is to destroy its control core...
In other words, this is Zero’s “Achilles’ heel”!
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.
If the shadow of the Third World War strikes again and Zero's influence on the world is too great, who knows what methods the Night Demons and some hostile countries will adopt to attack this key brain of their own?
The reason why the computing center is built in the inland core area of ​​Guizhou is also due to the consideration of being far away from the border. The huge strategic depth is an excellent protective umbrella.
However, it seems that there is currently no civilian computing center with nuclear protection level in China. If I do this too obviously... will I be invited to tea by the National Security Bureau?
Meng Lang touched his chin.
Otherwise... just hollow out the mountain, expand the underground space, and build a data center inside?
If things go wrong in the future, just pour a large amount of concrete on the top of the mountain, and it will be a proper nuclear defense level fortification...
Hmm! It’s quite feasible. Here’s a quick note.
Meng Lang wrote notes in his notebook and adjusted his future development plan.
To be continued...
