Has Yang Fan changed, Wu Hao shook his head. Yang Fan hasn't changed, everyone here has changed. As their wealth and status grew, so did they. This is a natural thing, but the original ambition and ideals have gradually blurred, which is what we often call the loss of ambition.

Yang Fan is different, these wealth and status have not changed him. In fact, it has something to do with the fact that he doesn't have much personal time, since he took over the R&D department, his time has basically been spent in the R&D department, and how can he enjoy the changes brought by this wealth and status.

Secondly, it is true that Yang Fan is now the head of the technology department, but his other identity is also Wu Hao's spokesperson or Wu Hao's shadow.

In this position, he is destined to be blocked under Wu Hao's light and ignored, and he is not destined to be as glamorous as Zhang Jun and Zou Xiaodong.

But this position is not something that anyone can do, Wu Hao hesitated for a long time before deciding to kick out Zou Xiaodong and leave Yang Fan.

And the reason why everyone was surprised came from Yang Fan's tone, because his tone seemed very relaxed, as if it was not a difficult thing.

Although they are very familiar with Yang Fan, they don't have much contact, because Yang Fan often hides in the laboratory and it is difficult to see people.

So when they heard that the most difficult supercomputer was so lightly said by Yang Fan, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I have a question, I heard that G-song has developed a quantum computer and achieved quantum supremacy. Why do we still need to develop traditional supercomputers, why not just develop quantum computers, the gap is very huge. Tong Juan asked at Wu Hao.

The project was carried out relatively early, before Tong Juan came. Speaking of which, she learned some things after coming to the company, but today is the first time she has heard about the progress of these projects, so she has this problem.

Hehehehe...... Wu Hao and Yang Fan all laughed.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "Actually, these two do not affect, we are developing supercomputers at the same time, and we are also developing quantum computers.

It's just that because of the current urgent need, quantum computer technology is not mature enough. So we decided to develop a supercomputer to use it first, to buy us valuable time for development, and then we can develop a more mature quantum computer.

This is just like our country building an aircraft carrier, everyone knows that the catapult aircraft carrier that goes straight to the deck is the best and has the strongest combat effectiveness.

In particular, the new supercarrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults is the development trend of the future. But why did our country build a domestically produced sliding take-off aircraft carrier when it built an aircraft carrier, and why didn't it go directly to the electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier once and for all? ”

After asking this question, Wu Hao glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Time, because time and practical tasks are needed.

If it is directly on the electromagnetic aircraft carrier, it may require a long R&D and manufacturing cycle, which is not waiting for our navy, which is currently in short supply of aircraft carriers.

Therefore, before the new electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, it is more affordable to build such an aircraft carrier with a glide jump and take off as a window period.

This is also the meaning of this supercomputer, and it is a little unrealistic for us to go directly to a quantum computer at this stage. Therefore, let's solve the problem of whether we have it first, and only by solving this problem can we develop better. ”

Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone, including Tong Juan, nodded. Indeed, for the company at this stage, such a supercomputer is the most suitable.

Taking a sip of tea, Wu Hao continued: "It is far from enough to have only one server group and data center, and now Internet companies generally adopt the disaster recovery strategy of two places and three centers. ”

Looking at the confused looks of some of them, Wu Hao explained: "For Internet IT companies, data is becoming more and more important today when they pay attention to the application of big data. However, a traditional single data center is no longer enough to protect the security of enterprise data.

When a single data center fails to store storage, it may lead to long-term service interruption and even data loss, resulting in great losses and impacts.

Only local data redundancy protection or disaster recovery construction can no longer avoid the destruction of enterprise data by regional disasters.

Remote disaster recovery, data protection, and business continuity have become an urgent problem for enterprises. In addition, such enterprises also face problems such as high network link leasing costs and insufficient network bandwidth in remote disaster recovery construction.

In order to deal with the possibility of large-scale natural disasters in a single region, resulting in unexpected situations such as data paralysis or corruption, enterprises generally build two or more data centers. In recent years, the disaster recovery model of "two cities and three centers" with two centers in the same city and a remote disaster recovery center has also emerged.

Intra-city dual centers refer to the establishment of two data centers in the same city or neighboring cities that can independently undertake the operation of key systems, which can share the operation of business and management systems at the same time, and can also switch operations at any time. When a disaster strikes, it can ensure that disaster recovery and emergency switchover can be carried out without data loss, so as to maintain business continuity and normal operation. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone and said: "As you know, although our company's business is currently mainly selling products, it will definitely change to content services in the future.

This requires a stable and secure data operation center, and it is certainly not enough to rely on the torch in the new headquarters, but also to build two data centers.

One of them is based in Anxi, and the other one is still under consideration. ”

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zou Xiaodong also nodded and said: "This is the trend of large Internet companies, such as Ali, Penguin, and Qiandu, which have established their own multiple data centers.

Those who often watch the news should know that many of these companies have built data centers in Guizhou Province. It is said that it is because there are abundant water resources, the temperature is suitable, and it is not located in an earthquake zone, and more importantly, the electricity price over there is relatively cheap, and there is relevant policy support.

We've been in contact with the local authorities in this regard, and they've been very enthusiastic. He even proposed that a working group composed of local leaders would come to Anxi in person to talk to us face-to-face about their local situation. ”

Wu Hao nodded when he heard this: "In terms of remote site selection, I am still thinking about it. There are many places where we express our intentions in this regard, and we need to consider which ones to choose. ”
