Chapter 853 Server Liquid Cooling Technology

"What kind of technology is this?" Zuckerberg couldn't help but ask.

"This is the ultimate secret of our company, so don't ask any more questions!" Boss Huang said very simply. In fact, this is actually the primary application of the quinary computer.

After the initial breakthrough, this set of five-element data servers was born based on quinary computer chips and programming languages. And although the performance of this set of servers has reached about five times that of the most powerful servers at present, in fact

It still uses very rudimentary quinary chips and architecture.

It's not that Boss Huang is hiding technology, but Jiangnan Group's technology can only reach this point. Because the functions of data storage servers are relatively simple and do not require a large amount of computing services, so based on the current progress of the quinary system, it is still

It can barely keep up, but if complex computer computing chips are involved, it cannot be adapted to the current quinary system.

Therefore, Jiangnan Group can only withdraw from data-type servers at present. As for computing-type servers, we have to wait for a few more years.

It's like a pyramid has just been built. The nearest ones are data storage servers. The calculations they need are relatively simple, but the amount is very large, which is just suitable for the capabilities of the quinary computer system.

Of course, it was impossible for Boss Huang to tell Zuckerberg about these situations. He just refused to reveal all the answers very mysteriously.

"But what about the heat dissipation? Are these machines of yours really turned on?" After learning that he could not know the secret of the Five Elements Server, Zuckerberg could only turn his attention to the heat dissipation of this equipment.

Already.

"Of course it's powered on!" Huang He said with a smile, "As for heat dissipation, haven't you noticed that there are pipes connecting these devices?"

"That's true!" Zuckerberg's eyes lit up. After saying this, he really noticed the difference between these servers. That is, all servers have tubes, and there are many sets of machines and equipment between the tubes.

Connect to each other.

If you take a closer look, you will find that these pipes are actually inserted from outside the room, and then go out uniformly through an exit.

"These tubes are used to dissipate heat!" Zuckerberg is not stupid. Huang He specifically mentioned this point, so he quickly guessed that this was probably the secret of heat dissipation.

“Is there low-temperature gas in these tubes of yours?” Zuckerberg frowned and guessed, “But if that’s the case, the cost would be very high. The cost of preparing these low-temperature gases alone would be worth twice the amount of air.

After all, it’s better to just turn on the air conditioner to cool down!”

"No, it's not gas inside!" Boss Huang smiled slightly, and then said, "Actually, it's liquid inside!"

"Liquid!" Zuckerberg's eyelids couldn't help but twitch after hearing this, and then said, "You can use water cooling, but the power consumption of water cooling is actually not much smaller, and the cooling efficiency of water cooling is not at all

It cannot suppress server-level high temperatures, and its thermal conductivity is not efficient enough to suppress servers!”

"You are talking about the water-cooling technology used in computers, which uses a copper heat sink to dissipate heat. Of course, the power is not enough. But what if I directly immerse the chip in water? Isn't the thermal conductivity efficiency unparalleled?

?" Huang He asked with a smile.

"Just soak the chip in water?" Zuckerberg was stunned again, and then Huang He snapped his fingers, and a staff member opened the metal casing on the outside of a device, revealing the working server inside. equipment.

After opening the server, it was discovered that there were actually twenty working chipsets installed inside. These chipsets were completely enclosed in a transparent box, and the entire box was completely filled with liquid. After being soaked, these boxes are connected through a liquid pipe and a power data cable. The liquid in the box is flowing at high speed, continuously taking away the high temperature generated by the working chip.

The leaked liquid entered another working server group.

"These liquids are coolants specially developed by us. They have a complete insulation effect and will never affect the conductivity of the entire server group or the normal operation of the server group."

"In fact, because these liquids completely isolate the effect of oxygen in the air, they can minimize the oxidative erosion suffered by the server owner, and can greatly increase the service life of the entire server group!"

"A normal server group will experience serious aging of server equipment after about three years of full operation, but this set of equipment will only begin to age after 10 years!"

"Because the root cause of aging is that oxidation erodes the performance of the metal, and completely immersing the entire server in water can almost eliminate the impact of oxidation!"

"At the same time, we adjust the flow rate of the liquid very quickly, so that the heat generated by the chipset can be taken away as quickly as possible, and at the same time, 10 groups of servers can be connected in series!"

"Twenty chipsets form a server group, and 10 server groups form a cooling group. This is the best cooling efficiency after our calculations. The temperature of the coolant entering at the entrance of the entire cooling group is about 5 degrees. , and after passing through 10 cooling groups, the outflow temperature is about 32 degrees, which can still maintain the highest cooling efficiency and allow each group of servers to fully dissipate heat."

Boss Huang explained the working principle of this server group in detail.

"Wouldn't this require a very large amount of coolant!" Zuckerberg asked. "How much does it cost to manufacture these coolants?"

"Not much. The circulating coolant used in this computer room is about 30,000 liters, and the cost is more than 5 million US dollars. When divided equally, each liter of liquid is only more than 100 US dollars!"

"Of course, the price is indeed a bit expensive, but the cost is worth it. If such a server group uses electricity for cooling, it will consume 5 million in electricity bills in three months!" Huang He said with a smile.

"But don't you need these liquids to take away the temperature?" Zuckerberg asked angrily, "Your cooling system should be circulating, so how do you restore the temperature of the coolant that is more than 30 degrees? What about going back to 2 degrees?”

"This requires the use of the power of nature!" Boss Huang said with a smile, "I don't want to tell you, in fact, this base is next to the sea, and in the 30,000 liters of cooling system, 5,000 liters of liquid are used throughout the entire cooling system. The other 25,000 liters are circulated in the computer room, passing through extremely thin heat pipes and immersed in extremely deep seawater, with the water temperature maintained between 0 and 5 degrees!"

"The coolant passes through the copper pipe and needs to be soaked in seawater for at least 20 minutes. This can reduce the water temperature from 32 degrees to about 5 degrees and complete a complete coolant cycle!" Boss Huang smiled.

"Awesome!" After hearing Boss Huang's explanation, Zuckerberg had no choice but to praise Boss Huang's methods.

This method is indeed very impressive. Huang He actually uses seawater immersion to cool down. Due to the huge scale of the seawater, such a low temperature cannot have any impact on the seawater.

In this way, the entire cooling system has no refrigeration costs at all, and the temperature can be completely left to nature. There are no electricity costs except the compressor, which can reduce the electricity bill from several million dollars.

It only costs a few thousand dollars.

Of course, the construction cost of this cooling system is very high. It needs to be specially designed and sited around the entire system. It is necessary to choose a special address that is close to the sea and has direct access to the deep sea area near the coast.

In addition, millions of dollars of coolant are needed... But this cost is nothing compared to the heat dissipation and cooling pipes built on the seabed. Such a huge seabed heat dissipation system will cost at least

Twenty to thirty million dollars for construction.

However, even if it costs 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars, it saves an extremely huge amount of money. Moreover, compared with the huge system that I originally planned to build in Colorado, which uses the valley terrain and relies on wind to dissipate heat, I don’t know how much it will cost.

How much cost will be saved.

"Boss Huang, have you applied for a patent for your cooling system?" Zuckerberg asked mischievously. He thought the idea of ​​this cooling system was really great. If there was no patent, he would just copy it when he went back.

"Of course there are patents, but to be honest, if someone wants to bypass the patent, it's easy!" Boss Huang said cheerfully, "But this coolant is indeed specially developed by our Jiangnan Group. You can't find it anywhere in the world."

To the second type of coolant that can achieve powerful cooling effect. You must know that the biggest problem of this entire cooling system is how to ensure that the coolant will not cause any interference to the operation of the computer. In order to develop this liquid, we have devoted a lot of effort

The cost exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars!”

"..." Zuckerberg stopped talking. This boss Huang seemed to be determined to mainly use the coolant to make a lot of money.

In fact, what Boss Huang said is true or false. First of all, hundreds of millions of dollars were indeed spent on this coolant. However, these hundreds of millions of dollars were not actually spent on the coolant, but on the special coolant used by Tong He to develop black gold.

Properties and funds for other compounds, these coolants are just liquids that were born by the way during his research and development process. It was a complete surprise.

"In addition, because the heat generated by our servers is indeed very high, ordinary cooling systems cannot support it at all, so the servers we sell will be directly equipped with such a liquid cooling system, so Mr. Zuckerberg does not have to worry about building an additional liquid cooling system
