It was around 15:00 p.m.

Luo Sheng's private luxury yacht was parked at the sea. He and a few personal bodyguards were wearing life jackets and rode on a small speedboat to a ship docked on the sea not far away.

Shortly after boarding the boat, when we arrived at the deck, a group of engineers were busy. The experimental pod recovered from under the sea bed was lying quietly on the deck, and the staff were recycling valuable data.

"Boss, tomorrow we will deploy the second round of experimental underwater data centers again. I hope that the sea conditions tomorrow will remain calm as today." Ben Catrul, who saw Luo Sheng arrive, immediately came up.

There will be 24 racks and 1,728 servers in the new experimental pod. Before going to sea, the oxygen and moisture in the cabin will be pumped away.

"Package a copy of the complete data for me and upload it to my private server. Do you know I have IP?" Luo Sheng nodded and said.

"Ok!"

Ben Catru responded, then took Luo Sheng forward and reported on the project he was responsible for.

Ben Catru is the chief project manager of Bluestar Technology Group and the data center "Kunpeng Project". Although he is a foreigner, to be precise, he is an American, but his ancestors are Dutch and he is also an important member of the company.

Whether it is Costa del Azure or Blue Star Technology, there are many foreign executives, engineers and scientists, etc. As long as they are talents and commercial espionage factors are excluded, people can reuse them.

The experimental project is called "Kunpeng", which was officially launched three years ago. This plan has been publicly admitted for more than a year.

Bluestar Technology is currently in the global cloud computing service field, and Nebula Star-cloud is far ahead of its competitors in both technology and market share.

The group company has built 76 large data centers around the world, but this is far from enough. The Internet is developing too rapidly. Human beings are in the era of rapid development of big data, and data centers are one of the indispensable hardware infrastructures for cloud computing services.

Today's data centers are still on land. When building on-shore data centers, companies must consider the climate conditions, natural disasters, electricity costs, and even local policies of the location.

As for the mainland, not only Luo Sheng favors Lincheng very much, but other Internet technology companies such as Alibaba also favor this place. The local climate is cool all the time, and natural conditions can be used to cool the servers. The area is geologically stable and away from natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, etc.

Data centers deployed overseas prefer polar regions.

Simply put, the temperature must be low and stable, without natural disasters, and the electricity must be cheap.

Bluestar Technology is also considering the construction of data centers under the sea.

At the seabed, seawater can be used to cool the server. Most natural disasters can be avoided in the depths of the seabed, typhoons in the southeast coast of China, hurricanes in North America, etc., which may cause problems above sea level, but will not have any impact on the seabed.

It can also use tidal energy and offshore wind energy to generate electricity, and most large cities are coastal cities, which can also alleviate the problem of data transmission delay.

...

Inside the cabin, Luo Sheng, Ben Catrulu and the engineers of the "Kunpeng" project, the scientists were sitting together to discuss the technical links.

Ben Catrul looked at Luo Sheng and said, "What is going to be done is a one-year second phase experimental plan. During this year, we need to further evaluate various data and performance, including how to collaborate with shipyards, whether the server can provide sufficient reliable data, and the economic effect compared with onshore data centers, etc., so as to solve these problems, we can determine the trend of the third phase plan."

Luo Sheng looked around everyone and his eyes fell on a researcher: "I am more worried that building a data center under the sea will affect the living environment of marine organisms. Such concerns must be taken seriously. The harmonious coexistence between man and nature is the path to sustainable development."

The researcher immediately replied: "We also have such concerns. For this team, we have developed a set of tools to track organisms living in the waters near the data center and continue to pay attention to the ecosystem of the submarine center."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "I asked why I saw a group of marine biologists and documentary photography teams on the boat."

Everyone smiled.

Luo Sheng said concisely: "What are you finding?"

"In the past three years of the first phase of the experimental project, we found that the sinking underwater experimental data center was not rejected by the seabed organisms, but instead became a protected area."

Luo Sheng was quite curious when he heard this: "Protected Area?"

The researcher nodded and explained: "The seabed footage sent back shows that the small fish can be avoided being eaten by the big fish here, and the small fish can also be forage here."

After a while, Ben Catru came up with a document and read it and said: "The experimental project will officially enter the second phase of the experiment tomorrow, but its formal commercial purpose has not been determined."

Luo Sheng said: "There is no hurry to use commercially. Solving all potential technical pain points is the first priority issue to be dealt with now."

Katru nodded and said, "Since the main body of the equipment of the 'Kunpeng Database' is located at the bottom of the sea, the corrosion resistance of the container's shell, the impact on marine organisms and the bearing of water pressure cannot be ignored."

Luo Sheng: "What is the solution?"

At this time, the project technical director here replied in an orderly manner: "About the issue of seawater corrosion, in terms of material selection, titanium alloys can achieve excellent performance and have excellent corrosion resistance, but due to the high cost and our scale, they are not suitable for container production."

"The research of composite materials is currently the focus of the research team, and it also has extremely strong corrosion resistance and relatively excellent cost advantages, but it cannot withstand excessive water pressure. The conclusion is that it cannot be used, so we have to find new technical solutions."

Luo Sheng, holding a pen, clicked and said, "I have a solution here. I choose to use steel as the material for the container. In order to prevent corrosion of the container, a large amount of coating must be made on the surface to avoid direct contact with seawater. In order to prevent corrosion caused by the coating falling off, a cathode protection strategy must be adopted. Choose zinc, which will not cause harm to the marine environment."

Hearing the boss's suggestion, the core technology researchers present lit up and couldn't help but applaud.

In this way, a perfect balance between safety and economy is soon achieved?

Katrul immediately licked: "The boss is indeed the greatest technological genius of contemporary times."

Just lick it, and you will have everything you need until you lick it.

Luo Sheng has long been immune to this kind of flattery and has no expression.

However, the technicians of the "Kunpeng Project" are not just a good meal. The scientists under Luo Sheng are all groups with the highest IQ in the world. They soon thought of potential problems and only saw an engineer speak.

"In this way, marine organisms such as barnacles and shells gather on the surface of containers are also a new problem that cannot be ignored. In order to avoid unnecessary losses caused by marine organisms gathering on the surface of containers, we should think of a solution that uses accelerated surface water flow and smooth coating as soon as possible."

Luo Sheng nodded: "Yes, due to the use of smooth coatings, dirt, bacteria, etc. cannot accumulate on the surface of the container, so marine organisms will not gather on the surface of the container. Find a solution as soon as possible and apply it to the third phase of the experiment."

Everyone immediately made a memo.

After a while, the researcher said: "In addition, it is the problem of container heat dissipation. The 'Kunpeng Project' has gone through the first stage. It mainly uses the internal and external double heat dissipation grille to exchange seawater to solve the problem of equipment heat dissipation. However, the external grille is likely to fail due to the accumulation of marine organisms. Two of the six pods we recycled this time were directly hung up, and the remaining few were not very optimistic, because this is the reason."

Luo Sheng asked: "Have you found a solution?"

The researcher nodded and said, "We have found this problem a year ago through the camera on the surface of the submarine data center. The second phase of the solution has cancelled the external exchange grille and used seawater inhalation to ensure the heat dissipation effect. Although this solution can effectively reduce costs and ensure high efficiency of heat dissipation, marine organisms will also accumulate after entering the internal grille."

After a pause, the researcher immediately added: "But we have also found a solution to this problem, which is to cover the pipes inside the grille with extremely smooth coatings and the equipment is equipped with electrolytic chlorine production equipment. The chlorine gas produced is enough to kill bacterial organisms in the seawater, and since chlorine can dissolve in seawater very quickly, it will not cause pollution to the seawater."

The researchers at the meeting answered the boss's questions carefully and in detail one by one, and did not dare to lie because unlike other bosses who do not understand technology, Luo Sheng himself is a technical boss. The questions he asked are very professional and profound. Lies are discovered in minutes.

So wherever the development progress is, I dare not hide it or exaggerate it.

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction and immediately asked the last question: "What about seawater pressure?"

The researcher said: "The water pressure on the seabed is terrible. After multiple considerations, Kunpeng technical team finally decided to design the equipment as a circular shape. Because any matrix shape will be damaged due to seawater pressure, and the circular structure can reduce the pressure as effectively as possible."

"According to the recovered pod inspection report, safe operation at 170 meters and the limit depth is 330 meters, but the depth deployed during the test is only 100 meters and the coating is as thick as 75 mm. The second stage has greatly improved its performance, achieving a deployment depth of 290 meters and a coating thickness of only 19 mm."

The temporary seminar lasted less than half an hour, and the progress of the "Kunpeng Plan" made him very satisfied, half a year earlier than expected.

At present, the research on the undersea data center is not only the pioneer of Blue Star Technology, but also a large number of followers behind it.

Large-scale European and American technology giants in the field of cloud computing services, such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc., also regard this as a focus research and demonstration topic. It seems that the industry has reached a tacit consensus that if Bluestar Technology wants to do it, it must do it, and at least it must start a project to discuss research and research.

Luo Sheng had no choice but to cross the river by his colleagues.

Why can he become an idol and pride in the hearts of the people, why is his company so well-known, and why is it named "archbishop" by the majority of netizens? It is that he is leading the trend of the technology industry again and again, with a large group of followers imitating it, and they are all famous technology giants in the past.

Currently, there is only one such great person in the country, Luo Sheng.
