I Have A Super USB Drive

The name "Black Light Biotechnology" spread like wildfire with the news of signing a $4 billion contract with Facebook.

For the first time, countless people focused their attention on this little-known small company, and what followed was the rapid fermentation of the product "Little X Translation Assistant".

It's more effective than Xia Yin's tens of millions of advertising campaigns.

And the key point is that the contract Chen Chen signed with Facebook is only the platform's exclusive authorization, which means that only Facebook users do not need to pay any fees, while Chen Chen can still charge other individual users.

Therefore, with this public opinion effect, "Xiao X Translation Assistant" finally adopted the charging mechanism for monthly membership.

Membership price is set at 25 yuan a month.

If you want a discount, you can choose a one-time recharge for 6 months, which is only 120 yuan, a 30 yuan discount.

The most favorable is the annual membership, a one-time recharge of 200 yuan can be used for a year, a discount of 100 yuan.

In addition, new users can also enjoy a 15-day free trial period, and each time a user shares and successfully promotes a new user to register an account, they will get an additional three days of free use.

This is only the price for users in Central Continent. As for other Continents, it will increase or decrease in proportion to the local economic level.

Just a few days after Chen Chen and Facebook reached an agreement, Ye Dongmei, an employee of Black Light Technology, was found to have misbehaved and accepted bribes during his tenure as an assistant manager, and was subsequently dismissed by Black Light Technology.

In the name of the company, Chen Chen bought an IDC data center in Shangdu Industrial Park, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The so-called data center, that is, a data center, is a network-based intermediary that provides Internet companies with information services such as collection, storage, and processing.

Take Xia Yin's web game company as an example:

After a new user registers a game of Huiyao Company, how should Huiyao Company record the game information of the other party, so that the embarrassing situation of data loss will not occur when the other party logs in next time?

In general, Huiyao has two options:

The first is to build a server by yourself to support tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of user access every moment.

This one requires building a server from scratch, at least one computer room, and there must be a sufficient cooling system in the computer room, plus the cost of professional maintenance personnel, which is expensive.

The second: the task of storing these information is handed over to a data center, and the company itself only needs to concentrate on the development and maintenance of the game.

Simply put, a data center is a public computer room dedicated to storing network information of various companies.

Also known as cloud server.

The one Chen Chen bought was a data center that had a series of problems, such as outdated equipment, frequent paralysis, and serious data delay, and was on the verge of closing.

This data center is already large in terms of scale. There are more than 4,000 servers in eight computer rooms. The size of each computer room is 10 × 50 meters. Together with the office space, the entire building covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters.

It was originally one of the data divisions of the public enterprise telecommunications in the Central Continent. Because it has been established for a long time, many of the equipment has been too old to upgrade, and it is completely unable to keep up with the times.

Moreover, according to the TIA classification, this data center has only the most basic [Tier I] level, and it has also lost its competitiveness among countless newly established advanced data centers.

Therefore, Chen Chen bought it from Telecom for only 20 million, including the remaining 2 years of the land lease.

After the purchase, Chen Chen did not immediately upgrade and replace these old server equipment, but first purchased a transformer.

Originally, Chen Chen wanted to buy a regional transformer, but considering that the installation of such a transformer may lead to abnormal local electricity consumption,

The government noticed it, so in the end, only a 10000KVA, 35KV all-copper oil-immersed transformer was purchased.

When the truck brought the transformer back, Chen Chen realized that the transformer alone was the size of a room.

The transformer is three times the capacity of the original transformer in the data center.

In fact, the power consumption of the servers in the data center is the second, and the most power consumption is the cooling of the computer room.

According to the power consumption ratio given by the data center market: server power consumption accounts for 40% of the total power consumption, cooling accounts for 55%, and the remaining power and lighting account for about 5%.

Such a data center needs a 3000KVA transformer to fully supply it.

Now it's only tripled, so it shouldn't attract the attention of the power supply station, right?

Chen Chen touched his chin and thought.

In fact, the best way to supply power to the U disk is to go to Waizhou District to build a power plant.

For example, in the Indian region or the African region, the regional government environment there can provide Chen Chen with a large degree of freedom, instead of walking on thin ice as he does now.

However, the price of building a power plant was astronomical, and Chen Chen couldn't afford it before.

However, after Facebook's $4 billion has been put in place recently, it has the capital to try it out.

It’s just that far away thirst can’t be quenched. The establishment of a power station is at least in units of years, so there is no rush for the time being.

As for Chen Chen's honey juice operation, Xia Yin couldn't understand it.

Obviously, he could choose to rent cloud servers. Chen Chen had to spend a lot of money to buy an old data center. Apart from the land deeds and buildings that were worth a bit of money, the old servers in it should have been packaged up and sold for scrap iron.

However, Chen Chen was the boss. Although Xia Yin was very angry after several persuasion to no avail, she could only follow Chen Chen's wishes.

Not only that, but within a few days, Chen Chen spent a lot of money to upgrade the expensive liquid cooling system of the entire data center. He also replaced all the servers, and really sold all the old servers. scrap iron.

Xia Yin: I'm really messing with Fake?

At the same time as the renovation, Chen Chen re-planned the power system, not only replaced the transformer, but also built a main control room like an iron barrel next to the transformer.

The main control room not only controls the power system of the entire data center, but Chen Chen also built the main control room into a home structure with two rooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

This kind of operation, the whole company does not understand.

After half a month, the main control room was completed, and Chen Chen moved the furniture and living necessities directly and lived in it himself.

Everyone who knew about this was dumbfounded, and the only explanation they gave to themselves was that this was probably the eccentricity of the rich...

In the end, Chen Chen lived alone in this million-dollar mansion, which was renamed "Black Light Biotechnology Data Center".

Only Chen Chen himself understood that changing from a 200KVA transformer to a 10000KVA transformer would definitely show more interesting movie props this time...
