Silicon Valley

The headquarters of Alpha company has beautiful scenery. A crystal clear river flows quietly. Behind the headquarters of the factory is a large and small mountain forest. It is lush and covered with evergreen redwoods. The era has begun, the trunk diameter is huge, the bark is thick, and it has a strong ability to avoid pests and fire. Alpha company can completely carry out robot mountain experiments in this mountain forest.

Of course, the most wonderful thing is the weather here. The weather here is sunny and the air humidity is moderate. Living here requires people to be more energetic.

Currently, Boston Dynamics' Raibert serves as the head of Alpha, aka ceo.

Henry made a special trip to Alpha Company. After entering the factory, he saw many strange machine limbs, mainly arms and feet. After a while, Raibert came over after hearing the news. Raibert was in his forties, with a high nose bridge, slightly smaller eyes, and a pair of round-frame glasses. A strand of stubble remained on his mouth, apparently unshaven. His hair is very short, which is a popular hairstyle at the moment!

Henry's hairstyle is also short, because once the hair is long, it takes some time to take care of it, and Henry doesn't have the energy to do these things. Some people have long hair in order to be handsome, but Henry has reached the point where he doesn't need to be handsome. As long as he stands in the crowd, he is the most handsome, and he is the most eye-catching existence!

Henry looked at Raibert, and naturally, Raibert was also looking at Henry. Henry was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black slacks. His face was well-defined and handsome, especially his eyes were deep and bright, shining with wisdom.

After Raibert greeted Henry, he took Henry to the main office building, which is a mid-18th century Mediterranean-style building with red tiles and white walls, creating an unpretentious harmony between architecture and nature. texture. Henry's group took the elevator to the 3rd floor. I got out of the elevator, turned a corner to the right, and walked into a large laboratory.

Raibert said: "Mr. Williams. Boston Dynamics was preparing to develop a robot called 'BigDog', which is a simulated four-legged puppy."

As Raibert turned on the computer, he showed Henry a picture. Said: "This is the design concept of BigDog!"

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

At this time, Raibert continued: "We intend to choose hydraulic actuators as joint drive elements, which can improve some of the shortcomings of the traditional hydraulic system. Then, the hydraulic actuators and the quadruped mechanism can be reasonably and skillfully integrated. .In this way, we can form a perfect BigDog body that is both strong and flexible! Of course, all of this is just our imagination! We need to do a lot of experiments to summarize experience, so as to make a perfect BigDog robot In addition, we also need to consider the balance of BigDog's motion control, which mainly considers three 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 also the warehouse robot RobotWare!" Raibert laughed. "The warehouse robot RobotWare previously researched by Nicholas Robots is very mature, and we decided to start these two research projects at the same time!"

"Rebert, 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 indeed difficult to make a profit!" Raibert 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 knowingly, Boston Dynamics was merged into Alpha. The cooperation between Boston Dynamics and the military is also transferred to the cooperation between Alpha and the military.

Henry then visited other places. After finishing, Henry came to rest in the office. He walked to the window and looked at the wide square not far away. At this time, the image of rows of robot legions standing there neatly appeared in my mind! Among them, there are robot "people", robot "dogs" and so on, all kinds, spectacular!

...

...

Henry was back in San Jose, just in time for the team that happened to be investigating the location of the data center. Therefore, the global data center strategic plan is about to start!

The location of a data center is not as simple as choosing a place to build a data center. Many things will be involved, such as electricity, water power, impact on the environment, coverage, and distance, etc. After a detailed analysis After calculating, you can decide!

Henry expects to build a total of 50 large data centers around the world, 20 in the United States, 12 in Europe, 1 in Russia, 1 in South America, 4 in Asia, and more! The average construction cost of each data center is as high as $2 billion. That is to say, Henry will invest a total of 100 billion US dollars 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. If Henry wants to build so many data centers, he will inevitably need a large number of blade servers. Noah's Ark is too late to produce, and naturally he will not sell it.

The outside world doesn't know the situation, and they don't even understand why Henry Williams invested $100 billion to build a data center!

The concept of cloud technology, cloud computing, and cloud storage is simply not there now. People have absolutely no idea what Henry is doing!

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

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

"Burning money is not so burning, spending 100 billion US dollars to build a data center is useless!"

"Yeah, isn't a data center just a lot of servers, and it takes so many to build?"

"Hehe, Henry Williams must have been drenched in his head this time!"

"The halo of genius is about to fall!"

"The stupidest decision of the century!"

"..."

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

No matter what the outside world doubts, once Henry makes a decision, he will never change it.

This time, Henry decided to invest in all the companies under his name that need to use cloud services. 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, and shareholders and small shareholders have expressed their opposition. On that day, the stock prices of the major listed companies under Henry's name all declined to varying degrees! However, only Noah's Ark's market value has soared, breaking through $200 billion!

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

"Support Mr. Williams' decision!"

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

"..."

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

Henry thought about it carefully, the Internet is developing much faster than in his previous life, and since he has been fueling the flames, the development speed in the future will also be faster. It is absolutely possible to build a data center. Moreover, the establishment of data centers is staged, divided into locations, and in sequence, not 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!

With Isearch's data center, searches are faster and more accurate.

icq has a data center, all data of users can be preserved.

Nicholas International E-commerce has a data center, 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 leaping development!

Henry has another purpose, and that is monopoly.

With such a huge data center established so early, almost all companies that want to get involved in this industry will be stunned. Because the users have already been snatched away by Henry, it would be too risky for them to do cloud services again!

On the other hand, Henry can build a data empire with a large number of data centers! ! !

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