Global monopoly of technology

In a university dormitory in China, a group of juniors sat together, all of them watching the press conference on the Blue Coast.

Obviously, these college students are all Luo Sheng fans.

A junior named Yang Hongkuang said cheerfully: "Watching a press conference is more exciting than going to the dark. There is no such thing as five kills."

A roommate named He Wei standing next to him also said: "Too Nima is relieved. I am worthy of being my idol. After graduation, I want to work in the Blue Coast. This is my dream dream."

Yang Hongkuan said: "Then prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination honestly. Unless you are a genius, it is difficult for fresh graduates to enter the Blue Coast."

Another roommate named Yan Kangping said: "Hey, how many black technologies are there in the Riviera? It seems that the archbishop said that two products will be announced today. LiFi is only one of them. I don’t know if the second one will What kind of fairy product."

Blue Coast, Bluestar Technology, Luo Sheng... These names are only today, and in a sense they carry the pride and pride of too many Chinese people. Because of these names, many overseas students are asked whether they have With a great company and great technology, you can finally give the other party a beautiful reply confidently.

In the past, when there was no Côte d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, there was really no way to speak up. It would inevitably be frustrating, and it was also a blow to self-confidence.

But it's different now.

He Wei curiously guessed: "Look, the first LiFi product disclosed by the archbishop is targeted at WiFi. This conference is obviously aimed at the recent Global SD Card Association and WiFi Alliance. So is the second product related to storage? Is it related?"

Yang Hongkuang hurriedly said: "Stop talking, here comes, it's started, it should be the second product to be disclosed."

Suddenly, several roommates stopped communicating, all staring intently at the live broadcast of the press conference, all looking forward to another amazing technology product on the Blue Coast.

...

At the same time, the press conference at the headquarters of the Blue Coast company.

The disclosure of LiFi technology is over, but today's conference is only halfway through, and there is one product that has not been announced.

On the stage, Luo Sheng fiddled with body language, walking around the stage aimlessly, his eyes drifting aimlessly in the audience, and his voice soon resounded through the audience again.

"Since the 20th century, our human data storage methods have evolved from media such as tapes, floppy disks, and CDs to sophisticated semiconductor memory chips that can store data in countless micro-transistors."

"However, the ever-increasing data of mankind is putting new pressure on storage methods, so this will also promote further changes in storage methods."

...

"Haha, I guessed it, it really has something to do with storage." He Wei clapped his legs excitedly, as if this matter had more to do with him.

"Now it’s a real hammer. If today’s press conference has nothing to do with the Global SD Card Association and WiFi Alliance the day before yesterday, I don’t believe it to be killed. This is already Chi Guoguo’s target. The Blue Coast made it in this way. Respond." Yang Hongkuang said with excitement.

"Haha, the presence of LiFi in the front has already shocked the audience. People in the SD Card Association estimate that the chrysanthemums have begun to tighten after hearing the opening words of the archbishop. However, it is too late. The mentality of the people in the SD Card Association is estimated to be like It's hanging up in the toilet, waiting for death (shi)." He Wei gushed.

"The matter is over, they are also very helpless, just like a rooster lays eggs, it's useless." Yan Kangping spread his hands with a helpless expression, but it was dark and cool.

Yang Hongkuang glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but vomit: "You two are really allegorical talents, why don't you choose liberal arts?"

Several college students in the dormitory were chattering with excitement, and they were all curious about what kind of storage solution the Riviera would come up with, but it was definitely a big move, not weaker than LiFi's impact on WiFi.

And people have long discovered a rule, as long as Luo Sheng presides over the release of new products, they are all products of black technology.

...

The conference site.

Luo Sheng took out the small remote control, and the barrage of the live broadcast room was immediately screened, and the small remote control of the real protagonist, the archbishop, finally appeared.

Luo Sheng on the stage looked back at the big screen and pressed the small remote control. The giant screen immediately listed a group of image statistics data panels, including linear statistics, bar statistics and sector statistics. data.

Luo Sheng looked up at the giant screen and explained calmly: “Before introducing the latest breakthrough products of our Côte d’Azur laboratory, let’s take a look at a few sets of data. Under Moore’s Law, we have already seen the storage capacity of silicon chips. It has grown exponentially. At the same time, the speed of digital information produced by us humans has also shown an explosive growth."

"Looking at the second set of data, as of 2015, data users generated more than 44 billion GB of data every day. According to IDC's forecast, by 2025, this number will exceed 460 billion GB, and the total amount of data generated in the world that year It will reach 160ZB, or 160 trillion GB."

"The third set of data is Bluestar Technology's prediction. By 2020, more than 4.5 billion to 5 billion people worldwide may access the Internet. The data generated by these new Internet users will also face large-scale increase."

As the world's largest Internet technology company today, Bluestar Technology Group has the slogan of connecting all mankind as the company's mission, and its data is also one of the authorities.

Luo Sheng retracted his gaze, turned around and looked at the auditorium again.

"In short, we will soon generate more data volumes far beyond our existing storage capacity. Although current network service providers and major Internet companies are making huge profits from the new data nodes and traffic, This will also put significant pressure on the construction of data centers that cost hundreds of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Take Bluestar Technology as an example last year. It spent more than US$15 billion on the construction of new data centers. In the same year, North America spent US$80 billion on new data centers, making the capital for data center construction more than in 2014. More than three times, close to four times."

Network service providers and cloud computing companies in North America saw this and were directly confused.

What do you mean by this?

They suddenly felt that what Luo Sheng was exposing at the moment was suggesting that these investments might be lost, lose their competitiveness, and become outdated products?

If this is the case, it's like a firecracker that is soaked in water, and it can't be shot at all. Then can't it be forced to suffocate the rhythm?

Yingjiang did not hesitate to spend so much money to come in last year, the purpose is to get rid of Bluestar Technology's data monopoly and strong position on the Internet, and finally got a little hopeful, and can also drive Bluestar Technology out of the North American market. This one?

If these network service providers in North America can't survive, the losses will far exceed their previously established internal estimates.

Luo Sheng did not know the expressions of the "International Friends and Business Partners", and his eloquent voice was still heard at the press conference.

"Another element that cannot be ignored is that there is very little pure memory-grade silicon in nature, and researchers predict it will be exhausted around 2040. Then we have to find new solutions. DNA may be perfectly capable of making the storage crisis of mankind a thing of the past."

Speaking of this, a new demonstration screen appeared on the big screen behind Luo Sheng, the eye-catching double helix structure, which everyone knows is related to biology.

There was an uproar in the audience. In fact, many people in the industry know that the Côte d’Azur is studying DNA storage technology. The news has been reported six or seven years ago, but this thing is too magical, and it has not been there for so many years. No matter what the news, people don't think that this kind of black technology can make anything famous. The feeling that this thing looks like can only exist in science fiction movies.

But at this moment, Luo Sheng told everyone that the Blue Coast has also made a breakthrough in this black technology?.

Luo Sheng said with a bright smile: "Through tiny molecules that encode data into DNA, in the foreseeable future, we can put the entire data center into a few bottles of DNA."

As everyone listened with shock on their faces, Luo Sheng emphasized again: "The entire data center is put into a few small bottles of DNA. This sounds like a fantasy, but it is actually feasible. This is not magic. This is science, technology changes life, innovation changes the world, and most importantly, this technology was born in the Côte d’Azur laboratory."

Is this the counterattack of the Riviera?

Some foreign media reporters under the audience at the press conference all fell into a sluggish, even a little doubtful in life, is the technology of the Riviera a bit too strong?

In fact, they also know that the Côte d'Azur, as the global R&D investment scale, has been at the top of the list for five consecutive years. It is really too much if it does not produce results.

All this looks both envious and full of sourness.

After the people in the WiFi Alliance fell into autism, the people in the SD Card Association also panicked and fell into autism, textbook-style shooting themselves in the foot, regretting not.

I knew this earlier, and I would not announce that Luo Sheng was kicked out of the group by saying anything the day before yesterday. After ASML, the WiFi Alliance and the SD Card Association successfully contracted the industry’s laughingstock in the new year and provided the world with after-hours. Of talks.

And other international friends and businessmen are also imaginary at this moment. They are hesitant to follow up and have to re-evaluate the future trend of this technology dispute.

God knows how many big tricks Luo Sheng still has in his pocket that he hasn't taken out?Will it be like the WiFi Alliance and SD Card Association at this moment, waiting for you to take a shot and then backhand pushing out black technology?

Other international manufacturers have become more and more convinced that Luo Sheng must have sufficient backup plans, just waiting for them to make a move.

Anyone is afraid of changing.
