Chapter 452: Chapter 368: Virtual Computing Resources (Please Subscribe!)_1
It’s twenty million RMB.
It looks like a large amount, but compared to one hundred trillion times the processing power it really... doesn’t seem that cheap anymore.
It’s because of this.
When they saw the message, they were both ecstatic and frustrated because before, one hundred million RMB would get you thirty trillion times the processing power. By that rate, one hundred trillion times the processing power would only cost a little over three million RMB. Who would have thought that Tang Qing would jack up the price over six times. Over a year, it would total up to 240 million RMB, really not a small sum.
Somewhere in an office in Beijing.
"Speak up, what are your thoughts?" The leading executive knocked on the table.
"Buy, we must buy, one hundred trillion times, which is more than our country’s current supercomputing resources. If we buy it, it’s like doubling our computing resources out of thin air. Twenty million is totally worth it." A technology fanatic said with glittering eyes.
"Yes, it’s really a good deal, and it’s not just infiltrating one, but many, and avoiding detection. They are probably working very hard."
"Bullshit, it’s just a matter of them lifting a finger, I suggest we give at most five million RMB."
"Damn, Old Liu, just five million, why don’t you just go rob them?"
"I... Isn’t this robbing?"
"..."
The ones insisting or refusing were locked in a verbal standoff. That they were buying was sure, the key was the price.
A few minutes later.
The arguments on both sides were more and more justified.
Just when the situation was getting tense.
The executive in the lead spoke up.
"Ahem, everyone quiet down." freewebnσvel.cѳm
When the big shot talks, everyone stops arguing.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the executive spoke again: "Really, have you all relapsed into your old diseases? You seem to have forgotten two points. First, they said last time that all tasks do not accept any price negotiations, we only have the right to do or not to do, we don’t have the right to negotiate the price. Second, this money won’t go to them, it’s all for that already approved charity foundation. Are you thinking that we’re here to discuss money?"
Upon hearing these words,
Everyone’s expressions changed.
They all realized in an instant.
Damn.
Didn’t they.
This money, they don’t want a dime, it will all be donated to that foundation to help those poor kids. Now they were trying to haggle, as if they were exploiting the money that could save kids’ lives.
Oh my god.
This was kind of immoral, one by one they turned red-faced with embarrassment.
This money, they really didn’t dare to haggle anymore, it’s too damn embarrassing, directly becoming the villain.
The leading executive shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "You guys, next time don’t be so caught up with how much money it is. The leader has already decreed that no matter how much money it is, as long as it’s not too outrageous, and it’s useful for us, and we don’t suffer a loss, then we can agree to it directly. After all, it’s all for helping children. Skimping on this money is immoral. The reason for this meeting is just to discuss whether one hundred trillion times computing power is too much, or whether we need even more."
After hearing this, everyone’s faces turned red again. This was a natural reaction. In the past, everyone would competitively fight for funding. They wanted as much money as they could get and to spend as little as possible. Now, they have kind of professional habits.
"To say whether it’s enough, it’s definitely not enough. We have a lot of computational simulation projects, even ten million trillion times wouldn’t be enough, so for now, one hundred trillion times is relatively safe. It’s not too much, and it’s not too little. If we request more, they might raise the price again." The technology fanatic said outright.
"I also think it’s like this, one hundred trillion times is neither too much nor too little. If we want more, we risk exposure."
"Agree."
"Agree."
"..."
The rest could only act as agreement parties, what needed to be said has already been said.
Subsequently, the technician replied to Tang Qing’s request.
Tang Qing nodded. One hundred trillion times was already considered a limit. Anything more and they would have to resort to those junk ones. But Tang Qing suddenly felt that what he was doing was kind of stupid.
After thinking about it,
Tang Qing asked.
"Little Two, how much of your resources will be taken up by the speed of one hundred trillion times computation." That’s right, he had his sights set on Little Two.
"Replying to the commander, zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero..."
"Enough, enough, change the mode of expression. When do you intend to stop reciting to me?" Tang Qing stopped Little Two’s ’blabbering’. With so many zeros, how could he count them all?
"Yes, commander, one hundred trillion times computing speed takes up Little Two’s two times ten to the negative twenty-first power." Little Two replied.
Tang Qing was speechless.
How awesome is Little Two, this speed is sick.
Then he remembered something.
Tang Qing asked the system: "By the way, system, how does Little Two’s computation speed compare to the Comprehensive Service Center’s main system?"
"Low-level computer." The system replied.
"How low-level?" Tang Qing wondered.
"The difference between a key calculator and Blue Gene." The system’s comparison was really... freakishly huge.
Tang Qing exclaimed: "That amazing? What are such powerful computational resources needed for? Little Two is already so awesome."
"I’m sorry, permission is not enough, can’t search for it."
Tang Qing showed the middle finger, and said: "So how about the main system compared to you?"
"That’s also just a low-level computer." The system answered.
"OK, I see... You are super cool." Tang Qing said helplessly. He admitted to the system’s extraordinary efficiency. After all, just the computation needed for teleporting matter made Tang Qing think Little Two couldn’t handle.
So, he accepted it quickly.
"Tang Yi, gather the remaining seventy trillion times computing power from the supercomputers in the outside world, send them their account number, also establish a virtual account, let them login under our account and redirect to our virtual computing environment, let Little Two replace their computing processes, and monitor all supercomputers in realtime. If there is maintenance or something else that affects computing, that part of the resource is to be immediately reduced." Tang Qing ordered.
Going to different places to establish special accounts is too risky, it’d be easier to let Little Two take care of it, no pressure at all, but they cannot let them know they are using our own computer. All the supercomputers in the world are known, there’s no desire to indulge their unwarranted self-confidence.
To avoid outlandish minority situations, it’s only necessary to do this.
Sigh.
One lie,
Really needs many lies to patch it up, seriously damn tiring.
Luckily, it’s not him who’s tired, otherwise, it could drive someone mad.
The next morning, Tang Yi sent over fourteen accounts. After verifying, the Beijing side promptly paid twenty million RMB. This time’s computational resources were too scattered and the confidentiality was relatively poor. If it were exposed, it would be tragic, so they chose the method of monthly payment.
Tang Qing didn’t care, as long as they paid.
After Beijing finished testing.
Tang Qing also received a message.
The charity foundation was approved and established, it can operate nationwide, and it can accept social donations and bank loans with no interference into their operations and management. But the income and expenses of property must have the country’s people for auditing.
