As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 152 The era of wanton price increases by upstream companies is over
Guan Yang finally knows what the dark blue in the dark blue storage means, and the dark blue actually refers to creatures.

"We are a scientific research enterprise, so there is no profit requirement?"

"Does the company that conducts research on bio-storage technology with Russia survive on financial appropriations?"

"How much money the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission allocates to us every year, I am ready to prepare a recruitment plan."

"Doing preparatory research on biological storage. Although I have been engaged in the storage industry for these years and have been in the front line of research and development before, I really don't understand biological storage."

"In my understanding, this thing is still a long way from commercialization, and the country needs to be prepared for long-term investment."

"Yangtze River Storage back then said that it would only invest for three years and not make money. Deep Blue Storage is conservatively estimated to be 30 years."

Guan Yang usually doesn't talk so much. When he went to Yanjing to take over the job, when the R&D director told him that their main business is biological storage, he was a little bit overwhelmed.

It is somewhat funny to partner with Damao to develop biological storage technology.

Da Mao's presence in the biological field is as weak as their presence in the semiconductor field.

Of course, many years ago, about 100 years ago, Da Mao's creatures were still very strong.As for now, in the past 100 years, various contemporary biological journals and medical journals rarely see their highly cited papers and highly cited biologists.

R&D director Fei Hongbo and Guan Yang finished their chatter, knowing that the other party was very pessimistic about the prospects of Deep Blue Storage.

If he hadn't been transferred from the research institute under the Bureau of Abnormality Investigation, he would also be very pessimistic.

Fei Hongbo knew that he had to appease the new chairman, "In fact, we already have products that can be commercialized."

"What? There are already commercial products?"

"Old Fei, you were not a big talker when we were in the research institute."

Fei Hongbo was Guan Yang's former colleague at the Huaguo Academy of Sciences. Although they belonged to different majors, they were good friends back then.

The reason why Guan Yang was selected was Fei Hongbo's recommendation, which was a very small factor.

Then Guan Yang went to the industry, and Fei Hongbo continued to stay at the Huaguo Academy of Sciences until he was transferred to a secret research institute.

Fei Hongbo said seriously: "Old Guan, you know mine, and if you want to see it, there is a biological storage server in the laboratory on the second floor, and I can take you to see it."

Seeing the seriousness of the other party, Guan Yang asked, "It's not a bio-memory chip made by American, and some data is put in it. In fact, the writing process is a purely laboratory product, right?"

Fei Hongbo reminded: "The biological storage server is not a chip nor a hard disk."

Guan Yang's curiosity was thoroughly stimulated, he stood up: "Then what are you waiting for?"

After a long process of unlocking, the two came to the experimental area. The researchers in the experimental area were doing their own things, as if they didn't see the two of them.

In front of Guan Yang and Fei Hongbo was a huge cube.

Most of the back of the cube is transparent glass, there is water in the glass, and there are flocs floating in the water, which are somewhat similar to jellyfish but not as regular as jellyfish.

One end of the floe is fixed in place.

The front half is a black signal writing device, which is responsible for reading and writing data from the flocculent organisms at the back. There are various interfaces in the front that can be directly connected to switches, servers or personal computers.

Guan Yang squatted down as if looking for traces of the hard drive, and there was a ventilation device on the transparent part behind it, obviously there was no hard drive.

He hoped to find traces of the hard drive from the gap in the front black steel plate.

"Is this really a biological storage server?" Guan Yang turned around and asked after trying for a while without any results.

"This is our biological storage server."

"The sample jointly created by Huawei is temporarily using Huawei's most high-end Dorado 18800 memory chip and architecture."

"However, since this product framework is still aimed at flash memory, we will optimize memory chips and architecture specifically for bio-storage technology in the future."

Guan Yang roared: "How is the data? Compared with Huawei's all-flash memory products, how is the performance? What is the cost?"

Seeing this, Guan Yang no longer doubts the authenticity of biological storage technology. He just wants to know how difficult it is to promote this technology on a large scale.

"From the current test data, compared with Huawei's all-flash products, the end-to-end latency is shortened by ten times. The stability is only available to us, and it is still being tested."

For example, storage stability needs to be tested for a long time, because after all, this thing is not prone to problems.

Problems with enterprise-level storage servers are a major event, and the requirements for stability have always been high.

It takes a high voltage test for a period of time to judge how stable it is.

"But judging from the current performance, the stability will not be worse than that of all-flash products."

"The most important point is the amount of data storage. The effective amount of data stored in this biological storage server alone, that is, the amount of data that we can read and write arbitrarily is 100PB, which is a thousand times higher than that of all-flash products."

"I don't know the cost yet."

In terms of cost, we have to wait for the Bureau of Abnormal Things to set the price. Since it involves the manpower cost of the mage, and Huaguo invested 5 magic coins in it, the cost is even more expensive if it is really calculated.

"How long will it take for personal products to be realized? Can personal computers be promoted on a large scale?" Guan Yang asked.

Fei Hongbo said directly: "It will take time, not now, and even if we achieve miniaturization technically, there will still be certain problems."

"This biological storage is actually a combination of biology and machinery. He needs nutrient solution to survive, and he needs to be infused regularly."

"For individuals, this may be troublesome. But the most important thing is that we need time to study the miniaturization of signal conversion devices."

If you change your computer from 1T storage capacity to 1000T storage capacity, the price is that you need to infuse the computer regularly, presumably most people will be willing.

Guan Yang stood up straight, his eyes flushed. As a veteran of the industry for many years, he knows that the localization of the storage industry is not easy.

Since the beginning of the [-]th century, companies such as Samsung, Hynix, and Micron have mastered the upstream of storage, and they have both personal and enterprise businesses.

What consumers feel deeply is that the price of memory sticks has risen arbitrarily, and the price of memory sticks has quadrupled in 17.

The same is true for memory sticks on the consumer side, and the same is true for the enterprise side. Huaguo purchases foreign enterprise storage products, and a large part of the profits are eaten by these companies in the upper reaches of the industry.

Guan Yang knew that he could finally stop being choked by others, but now they can go to choke other countries.

With the same volume, the data capacity is a thousand times that of the previous storage technology, and he knows what this means.

Samsung, Toshiba, Micron and other companies have to lose half of their lives if they don't die. Samsung will not die, but only Samsung's enterprise storage business will die.

The personal storage business can be maintained for the time being.

It’s just that YMTC did not do it this day, nor did he experience it personally.

Guan Yang has been with the company since the founding of YMTC. He thought it would be the era when they would end the era of wanton price increases by upstream manufacturers.

They did achieve part of it, but in the end they relied on the bio-storage technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to achieve dimensionality reduction.

"Why didn't you come out with this technology sooner? The effect was not so good before, and now it can be taken out when it is so good.

For example, when the capacity is only doubled and the end-to-end latency is the same as that of all-flash products, it can be used first. "Guan Yang didn't understand.

Fei Hongbo knew the inside story, but he definitely couldn't say it due to confidentiality regulations. He whispered: "The conditions were not ripe before."

"What are the difficulties of biological storage technology that you know?"

"The reading and writing of biological storage has not been overcome for a long time, that is, the breakthrough has been made in the past two years."

Fei Hongbo admired himself in his heart, for being so resourceful to find a proper explanation in such a short period of time.
