Military Technology

As part of the disaster recovery and backup plan, Wu Hao and the others need to establish their own data centers in different regions to ensure data security.

As for the Northwest R\u0026D Center, the geology is stable and there are no disasters. It meets several conditions for the location of the data center, so of course there is no problem in establishing it here.

And compared to other areas, the environment here is safer, so Wu Hao stored and backed up some important data information here.

Out of curiosity, Erma followed Wu Hao to the data center.

It is said to be a data center, but it looks more like a square factory or stadium from the outside. The whole shape belongs to a relatively regular white cuboid, which is very ordinary and looks nothing special.

Putting on shoe covers and dustproof clothing, everyone finally walked into the factory. And the internal situation really made them widen their eyes, showing a look of surprise.

I saw that the inside of the huge factory was divided into several areas of the same size by the passage, and each area was arranged with iron shelves from fixed to floor, divided into a total of more than a dozen floors, and each floor was placed several running server.

So many server units, so many areas, at a glance, it is very shocking. It's like being in a purely digital space, looking at the servers flickering on the surrounding shelves, everyone is in a trance.

"Good guy, with such a large scale, I'm afraid it can catch up with the 'torch' in your new headquarters in Anxi." The old horse praised.

As for Wu Hao, he shook his head, "No, the data center in the torch adopts a brand-new structure, so the quantity and quality have also improved a lot."

"There are so many servers, how do you solve their heat dissipation and cooling problems." Xiao Ma immediately asked a more professional question, which was also a question that many people in the accompanying team wanted to ask.

We must know that one of the most difficult problems to solve for this kind of large server group is also the most troublesome problem of heat dissipation of these servers. For this reason, everyone has their own unique tricks. For example, in A, the server is directly immersed in a special cooling solution, and Penguin even places the server in a natural cave in Guizhou Province.

And this is located in the arid desert area of ​​Northwest China. Fortunately, in winter, the temperature here is relatively low, and the operating temperature of the server is more suitable.

But in summer, the daytime temperature in the desert is relatively high. How to cool down these running servers so that they can operate normally, everyone can't help but wonder.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, even easier than in the Mainland.

First of all, the temperature in winter here is very low, so we can use the low temperature in winter here to cool down these server units.

This natural cooling method can not only save energy and reduce emissions, but also reduce operating costs, and the effect is very obvious.

The summer that everyone cares about is actually very simple. In summer, the daytime light is strong, and the time is relatively long, and the temperature is relatively high.

So can we use these resources? The answer is yes. Solar refrigeration technology can be said to have solved this problem very well for us.

Through solar cooling technology, we can lower the temperature of the entire computer room, and even connect capillary lines for water circulation and cooling.

In this way, we can guarantee the normal operation of the place all year round,

And the fee is very low. "

"From what you said, I want to build a data center in this desert." After hearing his introduction, Lao Ma couldn't help but said.

In a data center, the cooling system consumes the most energy, which is also the largest part of operating costs. If you can save this piece, it is equivalent to saving a lot of money.

You know, whether it's Ali or Penguin, their number of servers is far ahead in the industry. So both of them are very curious about this technology that can reduce operating costs.

"Come on, I believe the local government will be very enthusiastic about your two companies moving in." Wu Hao said with a smile.

However, the enthusiasm between the two soon faded. Brother Xiao Ma shook his head and said, "Forget it, the gain outweighs the loss. In order to save such a little money, we have to build a

A data center is a bit too focused on one thing and loses another, and the gain outweighs the gain. "

Hearing Brother Xiao Ma's words, Lao Ma also nodded, "I was almost moved by this, and the gain is indeed not worth the loss. And in the construction of this kind of data center, the technology and experience we have accumulated are also great."

Hearing what the two said, Wu Hao did not express his opinion, but continued to introduce to them, "Everyone, please look, this is the capillary water cooling system all over the server.

Wu Hao introduced it simply, and everyone couldn't help but look at it. Between the main boards in a server, there is a rectangle with many tiny pipeline devices spread all over it. If the water that is not flowing is blue, people still can't see the blue pipeline that makes up for this cuboid device.

This is our water circulation cooling system, which can cool down our servers very effectively by flowing in the water pipes to keep the cold water at one to two degrees all year round. "

"Is this blue liquid really water? Are you afraid of problems?"

At present, whether it is a server cooling system or a computer mainframe liquid cooling system, all of them use exclusive cooling liquid, and few directly add water. It's not that these merchants don't want to use it, but because the water can't achieve the cooling effect, and there may be problems, such as leakage, or because the water vapor is easy to evaporate, so there may be problems.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile, "The water used in the entire water circulation cooling system is pure water, but we added pigments for identification.

The water in the entire water circulation cooling system is not in direct contact with the server, so it is very safe and reliable.

Even if there is a problem with the equipment in the water circulation cooling system, the intelligent system will judge it very quickly and independently, and then suspend the water circulation system of this network, and the corresponding server will stop operating. ""

Speaking of this, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Next, we will also promote and develop unmanned data center management and operation technology in accordance with our tradition. That is to say, in the future, the data centers under our company will be completely operated and managed by the system , our personnel will not intervene unless necessary."

"With such a high degree of autonomy, aren't you afraid of cultivating an Ultron or Red Queen?" Lao Ma asked Wu Hao. Although it is ridicule, it also has the meaning of warning and reminder in it.

"Hehehe, I don't have any worries about this at all. All our projects are progressing on the premise of safety. And I have always been very opposed to robots having autonomous consciousness." Wu Hao replied with a slight smile.
