City: Become a principal from junior college!

In fact, Ye Chen does not need to pay too much attention to the specific matters in the field of entertainment.

I encountered difficulties in censorship, but the problem was not as serious as imagined.

After all, my family has already planned for this situation.

A large number of influential partners were attracted in advance.

At the same time, Star Academy also gave Disney and other major Hollywood companies a share of investment in the filming of the first part of the "Sleeping Fairy" movie.

For such a business that is sure to make money without losing money, each company naturally invests money without hesitation, even if they only think that their share is too small.

With these Hollywood giants, the problems encountered in the North American market will surely be easily solved.

……

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the game company reported something more important.

"Principal, the cost of our cloud server is too high..."

"The stability of various cloud server manufacturers is still a little bit worse. One month after the game was launched, there were three server fluctuations. Fortunately, they were resolved quickly."

"But the server is not ours. If we encounter problems, we still have to rely on the other party's maintenance personnel. The level is also uneven, so it is difficult to rest assured."

"And because our games are so popular and we have high server requirements, the other party's quotations are getting higher and higher."

"Before the game was launched, if you hadn't temporarily allocated a server specializing in artificial intelligence to bear the pressure, principal, it would have collapsed..."

"And after that, we will inevitably have more and more games, and the demand for servers will become higher and higher."

"Although cloud servers are relatively mature now, if there is a problem, it will be a big problem. For example, even Google, the world's largest cloud service provider, lost an Australian company that manages the pensions of millions of people due to mistakes a few days ago. Corporate data deleted?”

"Building a self-built server room will greatly save costs and provide greater autonomy and security."

"It may not be necessary for ordinary game companies. The investment is too high. But there are too many users of our games. In the future, the number of games and the number of players served will continue to grow..."

Ye Chen didn't expect that the person in charge of Xingchen Game Company would actually raise the issue of building a server room by himself.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chen agreed.

All network services require servers to support them.

And Star Academy has a lot of needs.

For example, face recognition for access control, various small programs, apps that provide various services to students, and even the simplest swiping card to pay for meals in the canteen all require the support of the server.

And games and other things require server support.

If the server is not good, you will experience lag or even disconnection when playing the game.

At that time, it was said that Penguin gave good servers to LOL and bad servers to DNF, which led to the widespread spread of Drop City Warriors...

The future development of Star Academy will definitely require more server resources.

If affiliated companies want to modernize their offices, they definitely need server support.

Games are even more so.

Even the game is not the main thing.

For example, in the newly opened artificial intelligence major, artificial intelligence business requires servers to support it.

For example, face recognition is a type of artificial intelligence.

As students majoring in artificial intelligence begin to try projects, run models, and even launch commercial artificial intelligence.

All require massive server resources.

When the demand for servers is not high, it is naturally more economical and worry-free to use cloud services.

But if the demand is huge.

It is undoubtedly more worry-free to build it yourself.

The data is all in your own hands and is safer.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen asked the director of the artificial intelligence major for consultation.

As the director of the artificial intelligence major, the other party is undoubtedly very knowledgeable about this aspect.

After hearing Ye Chen's thoughts, he immediately expressed his affirmation.

"I originally planned to report this matter to the principal after the new year..."

"We need to build our own server room."

"For example, large models of artificial intelligence are very resource-intensive projects. The department's servers are more than enough to meet the needs of students, but when it comes to commercialization, they are completely insufficient."

"If we organize our own computer room by then, it will undoubtedly delay too much time."

Hearing this, Ye Chen also understood.

It seems that building a computer room is necessary.

The only difficulty is spending money.

But Ye Chen is never stingy about things that are beneficial to future development.

Therefore, when the director of the artificial intelligence major was thinking about how to get the principal to invest more money in the computer room.

Ye Chen took the initiative and said: "The estimated annual profit of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" is probably more than 50 billion, so let's use 50 billion to build a computer room first."

"It won't be enough to add more later."

When the director heard this, he swallowed back what he originally wanted to say.

My principal is really grand.

I originally thought that it would be good to get 20 billion, but as soon as the principal opened his mouth, he more than doubled it.

But that's a good thing.

A completely autonomous computer room will be of great help to students majoring in artificial intelligence to show off their skills in the future.

"The principal is awesome! With such an autonomous computer room, students majoring in artificial intelligence will be able to design freely in the future and no longer have to worry about load-bearing issues!"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: "There are so many majors in the college, but artificial intelligence is a high-tech major. Naturally, I value it the most."

"As long as there is demand for the artificial intelligence major, tell me anytime, our college is not short of money!"

When the director heard this, he immediately smiled and then continued: "Then I would like to thank the principal on behalf of the students!"

"The next step is to determine the location! We need to choose an area with a stable climate, non-seismic zones, and abundant hydropower and wind power as the location for the construction of the computer room."

"After all, servers consume a lot of energy and have high energy demand. Hydropower and wind power are cheaper. If sufficient, it can save a lot of operating funds."

"Secondly, we must avoid earthquake zones. Otherwise, if the computer room is affected by an earthquake, it will definitely cause heavy losses."

"The last thing is that the temperature of the computer room must be suitable enough and not too high. The server room is very hot, and most of the electricity is actually used for cooling and ventilation..."

"If the natural ambient temperature is low enough, it will also reduce operation and maintenance costs." The director of the artificial intelligence major has already imagined this problem.

So I have several plans in mind.

But when he was about to continue talking.

But Ye Chen had an idea: "Then how about we design the computer room in Tianhai City?"

Hearing this, the director immediately frowned.

Tianhai City?
This was not within his original choice.

Tianhai City is a central city. It is extremely cold in winter and extremely hot in summer.

Definitely not a suitable computer room address.

The director didn't say anything. He was curious about why his principal chose Tianhai City.

"First of all, Tianhai City has the Gan River inside and the Yangtze River outside, and is rich in hydropower resources."

"Secondly, Tianhai City is not in an earthquake zone. Several historic earthquakes have basically not affected Tianhai City. According to records, the largest earthquake that has ever occurred in Tianhai City was magnitude 1802, and it also occurred in . More than two hundred years ago.”

"The last thing is the climate. Tianhai City has four distinct seasons, and the summer is indeed very hot."

"But Tianhai City is rich in mountainous areas, such as the Meiling Mountains, and the temperature is extremely suitable all year round."

"If we build a computer room inside the mountain, we will definitely save a lot of energy costs!"

Hearing this, the director, who originally didn't agree with it, couldn't help but look thoughtful.

What my principal said seems to make sense.

The close proximity of the computer rooms has advantages in many aspects.

The last step is to hollow out the mountain to build a computer room, which is indeed feasible.

In order to dissipate server heat, technology giants around the world have made various attempts.

For example, Microsoft directly threw the server into the sea and used seawater to dissipate heat.

What about dragon fruit? The server was directly placed into a natural cave for heat dissipation.

Xunteng is building cloud server computer rooms directly in the mountains.

It is indeed not a problem to build a computer room in the mountains.

Moreover, his family has deep-rooted connections in Tianhai City.

If you invest in building a computer room, you will definitely get approval as quickly as possible, and there will be a lot of support and convenience.

If you want to expand in the future, it will be more trouble-free.

At the same time, the headquarters of the construction company of our college is also local, so there is no need to allocate manpower and it saves money.

As for the project of hollowing out the mountain to build a computer room, is it difficult?

Judging from the level of my own construction company, it is definitely not difficult.

Anyway, after thinking about it carefully, the director felt that there was really nothing wrong with his principal's idea.

We are fully capable of doing it ourselves.

Moreover, they are all internal enterprises, which consume less money and can invest more money in purchasing servers.

And Ye Chen's idea is actually very simple.

Building in Tianhai City will give more internship opportunities to students majoring in architecture.

Secondly, if your own construction company does well, it will definitely get more high-value computer room construction orders.

In Ye Chen's opinion, it's just like human beings' demand for electricity is getting higher and higher.

With the development of science and technology, human demand for server computing power will become higher and higher.

In the case of strong related demand, planning in advance is definitely not a bad thing.

When the construction of Xingchen New District is almost completed in the future, our own construction company will definitely be able to win more high value-added orders around the world relying on these experiences.

And soon.

After learning in Tianhai City that Xingchen Academy would invest 50 billion to build a computer room in Tianhai City, and that this was only the first phase of investment, I was even more happy.

In the past, Tianhai City had to travel everywhere to attract investment, begging grandpa and grandma.

But since the re-establishment of Xingchen College, Xingchen College’s own investment in Tianhai City has been able to largely meet the mission needs.

The surrounding enterprises attracted by Tianhai City have allowed Tianhai City to remain at the top of the national urban economic growth rankings in recent years.

Today, Tianhai City’s GDP has reached the third place in the country.

It's only slightly worse than the Demon City Imperial City.

But judging from the development speed of Star Academy, it is obvious that Tianhai City will be able to catch up with it in less than two years...

Being number one in the country seems to be no longer a dream.

Those responsible persons who are determined to stay in Tianhai City and refuse to be promoted have even begun to look forward to when Tianhai City will become the largest city in the world...

As for Tianhai City's request to dig up mountains, that's not a big deal at all.

Although Meiling is a natural scenic spot.

But most of the mountains deep in the mountains are actually worthless for development.

Building a computer room inside the mountain is undoubtedly a reasonable use of resources.

The most important thing is that as Star Academy does this, it may have a driving effect and attract more high-tech companies to invest in the construction of computer rooms.

This has many benefits for employment and economic growth.

and so.

Even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the application for Star College was approved despite working overtime.

And there was a lot of publicity.

The massive investment of 50 billion naturally attracted a huge wave of attention from the entire Internet.

Game manufacturers are even more jealous and trembling.

They all thought that Star Academy built its own server room for the smoother development of the game business.

It didn't occur to them at all.

Ye Chen himself didn't care much about the economic benefits brought by the game.

Ye Chen's vision is far further than they imagined. (End of chapter)
