The headquarters of alpha company has a beautiful scenery. A clear river flows quietly. Behind the headquarters of alpha company, there is a large mountain forest, which is lush and covered with evergreen Sequoia. This kind of tree has been growing since the Jurassic period. It has a huge trunk diameter and thick bark, and 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 beautiful thing is the weather here. The weather here is sunny and the air humidity is moderate. People should be more energetic when they live here.
Currently, lebert of Boston Dynamics is the CEO of alpha.
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, Leibert came. Leibert was about forty years old, with a high nose, small eyes and a pair of round glasses. There is a wisp of shaving on his mouth, which is obviously not clean. His hair is very short. It''s quite popular now!
Henry''s hairstyle is also short, because as soon as his hair is long, it takes some time to take care of it. Henry doesn''t have the energy to do these things. Some people keep long hair 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 Leibert, and naturally, Leibert looked at Henry. Henry wore a white shirt on his upper body and a pair of black slacks on his lower body. His face was well-defined and very handsome, especially his eyes were deep and bright, shining with the light of wisdom.
After saying hello to Henry, Leibert takes Henry to the main office building, which is a Mediterranean style building in the mid-18th century. The red tiles and white walls create a simple sense of integration of architecture and nature. Henry''s group of people took the elevator to the third floor, got out of the elevator, turned right, and then walked into a large laboratory.
"Mr. Williams, Boston Dynamics is going to develop a robot called BigDog, which is a simulated four legged dog," Leibert said
As he spoke, Leibert turned on his computer. He showed Henry a picture and said, "this is BigDog''s design concept map!"
Henry looked at it and thought, sure enough, the first generation of BigDog is very similar to the BigDog robot they first exposed in 2005!
At this time, Leibert continued to introduce: "we plan to choose the hydraulic actuator as the joint driving element, which can improve some defects of the traditional hydraulic system, and then integrate the hydraulic actuator and the quadruped mechanism reasonably and skillfully. In this way, we can form the perfect body of BigDog, which is both strong and flexible! Of course, all this is just our imagination! We need to do a lot of experiments to sum up experience, so as to make a perfect BigDog robot! In addition, we also need to consider the balance problem of BigDog''s motion control, which mainly considers three factors, namely its own attitude, terrain condition and motion condition. So we need a very good control algorithm! "
Henry nodded and said, "so alpha''s first robot project is BigDog?"
"No, and robotware, the warehouse robot!" Leibert said with a smile, "the warehouse robot robware previously researched by Nicholas robots is very mature. We have decided to start these two research projects at the same time!"
"Lebert, in my opinion, robotware can still be used in business, but what about BigDog? It seems difficult to commercialize! "
"BigDog was originally designed for the military. For the time being, it''s really hard to make a profit!" But technology is interlinked. As long as we make BigDog successfully, it is feasible to carry out commercial development in the future! "
Henry nodded clearly, and Boston power incorporated into alpha. The cooperation between Boston power and the military has also shifted to the cooperation between alpha and the military.
After that, Henry came to the office to have a rest. He went to the window and looked at the wide square not far away. At this time, the mind can not help but come up with a row of robot legions lined up and standing there! There are machine "man", machine "dog" and so on, all kinds of, magnificent!
……
……
When Henry returned to San Jose, the team that had just gone to investigate the location of the data center came back. Therefore, the global data center strategic plan is about to start!
The location of the data center is not simply to choose a place to build a data center, which will involve a lot of things, such as electricity, water, the impact on the environment, coverage, distance and so on, after a detailed analysis and calculation, can be decided!
Henry expects to build a total of 50 large data centers around the world, including 20 in the United States, 12 in Europe, 1 in Russia, 1 in South America, 4 in Asia, etc! The average construction cost of each data center is as high as US $2 billion. In other words, Henry will invest a total of 100 billion dollars this time!
Once the news was revealed, it immediately caused a sensation in the global media.
Although Noah Ark''s blade server has been developed, it has not been disclosed 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 will not be sold in time.
The outside world doesn''t know the situation and doesn''t understand why Henry Williams invested $100 billion to build a data center!
The concepts of cloud technology, cloud computing and cloud storage do not exist at all. People have no idea what Henry''s actions mean!
Many people call Henry a madman, a fool and a black sheep!
There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.
"It''s not like burning money. It''s useless to spend 100 billion dollars to build a data center!"
"Yes, isn''t the data center just a lot of servers? It''s necessary to build so many?"
"Hehe, Henry Williams must be full of brains this time!"
"The aura of genius is falling!"
"The stupidest decision of the century!"
“……”
At this time, countless media wanted to interview Henry, but Henry refused to interview.
No matter how the outside world doubts, Henry will never change his decision.
This time, Henry decided to invest in the construction of the data center by 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 the investment, shareholders and small shareholders have expressed opposition. On the same day, the stock prices of Henry''s major listed companies declined to varying degrees! However, only Noah Ark''s market value soared, exceeding $200 billion!
Because all the servers in the data center will be purchased from Noah Ark company, shareholders are almost overjoyed!
"Support Mr. Williams'' decision!"
"Henry Williams has a brilliant vision. He is a super genius. The construction of the data center this time must have profound meaning. He will make a lot of money in the future!"
“……”
Countless shareholders of Noah''s ark company are all waving flags for Henry. If this happens, the market value of Noah''s Ark will continue to rise!
Henry carefully considered that the Internet has developed much faster than before, and he has been fueling the flames, so the future development will be faster. It is entirely possible to set up a data center. Moreover, the establishment of data centers is divided into stages, sections and orders. It is not the case that 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!
Isearch has a data center to search faster and more accurately.
With the data center of ICQ, all the data of users can be preserved.
Nicholas international e-commerce with a data center, the user''s shopping habits are well known, accurate push advertising!
It''s too much, too much.
And with the data center, the development speed of intelligent software will show a leap forward development!
Henry has another purpose, which is monopoly.
With the establishment of such a huge data center so early, almost all the companies that want to set foot in this industry will stop. Because users have been robbed by Henry, if they come back to do cloud services, the risk is too big!
Henry can build a data empire with a large number of data centers!!!
(this is the first one.). Next, there should be two more.)
