Chapter 382

"Lying in the trough?! Is it true or not? "

When he heard that cloud dream game was going to build a Supercomputing Center to provide computing power support for world of Warcraft, Yang Yuan, editor in chief of renlian information industry daily, was surprised that Ba almost didn't fall to the ground.

So much so that he, who always abides by civility and politeness, can't help saying rude words on the spot.

Wang Hongsheng, the editor who reported the news to him, nodded. His face didn't look like a joke. He continued with the previous topic in a serious tone.

"At the beginning, I was also very surprised. I thought it was a rumor from which we media... But later I contacted the person in charge of Yunmeng technology by telephone, and Professor Chen Mingdong from Xia Guo Academy of engineering, and they all got an answer about it."

Hearing Wang Hongsheng's explanation, the expression on Yang Yuan's face became more and more serious. At the same time, he was also infected with a little excitement that was not easy to detect.

"There's something about Yunmeng group... Can you help me contact the executives of Yunmeng group? The higher the level, the better. "

Looking at editor in chief Yang, Wang Hongsheng was slightly stunned and said.

"Are you going to do an exclusive interview with Yunmeng technology?"

"That's right!"

Yang Yuan nodded, eyes with obvious interest in the look, continue to say.

"It's the first time I've heard of such an interesting thing as using a supercomputer as a game server."

"But... Is it really OK to report the news related to video games on our professional media?" Wang Hongsheng said with a slight hesitation.

For the confusion of his subordinates, Yang Yuan said indifferently.

"You don't need to worry about that. If the board asks, I will naturally explain. You just need to do what I say."

If it's not worth interviewing, what else is news?

Yang Yuan has enough confidence, this report will shock the whole industry!

In fact, it's not only the editorial department of renlian Information Industry Daily that has been shocked. After Yunmeng game announced this news on its official website, almost the whole game circle has been shocked by Yunmeng game's big hand.

Using supercomputers to support world of Warcraft?

Is there no place to burn the money, or is it just a gimmick?

Under normal circumstances, a supercomputer with a computing power of 10pflops will have to pay 60000-100000 yuan for electricity every day, 30 million yuan for electricity every year, and the operating cost will easily exceed 50 million yuan.

This is thanks to the breakthrough of electronic industry technology in energy saving in the past two years. If it had been put two years ago, the number would have doubled.

But even so, using supercomputers as game servers is fantastic enough.

After all, the longest service life of an MMORPG is only five years. For a game that will be eliminated in five years, it costs more than ten billion to build a supercomputer, and tens of millions of server maintenance costs every year.

Even the rich sea lion group, I am afraid it is difficult to bear such a high cost.

Besides, there is no need for that.

The advantage of supercomputing lies in its huge computing power, which is not used in general games. In addition, the hardware level of home computers is generally good. In order to save costs, many game manufacturers simply put a lot of calculations on the players' computers.

Because this incident is so surprising that the heat of the topic has even surpassed the beta internal test of world of Warcraft and made it into the top three of Weibo hot search list.

Using supercomputing as a game server??? Can't you really pay for it

[Mr. Hao: I'm sorry, the ability of money is to do whatever you want（ (funny)

I don't know how to make complaints about it. I just hope that Yunmeng games can't play bankrupt, so the developers of such conscience are few.

[ha ha ha, isn't it good to be bankrupt? If we go bankrupt, we can play the game designed by Mr. Hao himself（ [dog head]

[look at them! Dog Yue's sea lion is still engaged in member queue jumping, so he is willing to spend money to upgrade the server for general manager Hao, and I will praise Yunmeng game!]

Hao Yun did not expect that his decision to build a supercomputer attracted so much attention.

However, more attention can not offset Yunmeng group's loss of one billion yuan in its accounts.

Fortunately, Wu fan helped to apply for the high-tech transfer loan of the park, and the interest rate for one year was less than three points. Especially when he heard that Yunmeng group was planning to build a Supercomputing Center, the person in charge of the park simply exempted him from the land rent.

It's different from other industries.

A supercomputer with a computing power of 10pflops can't simply convert the added value provided by other high-tech industries in the park into money.

In the president's office.

Zhou Ruiling, the secretary who is dealing with the work, suddenly said.

"Mr. Hao, you have received a new email in your work mailbox."

"Whose?"

"It seems to be from the people's Federation of information industry daily?"

Renlian information industry daily?

The first time I heard of the name, Hao Yun asked.

"What's that?"

"It's like a communication media..."

Zhou Ruiling, who also heard of the name for the first time, quietly opened the search tool and entered the name in the search bar.

Soon the search results appeared.

"Ah, I checked it on the Internet. It seems that this newspaper is quite famous in the IT industry. It is said that it is the professional newspaper with the highest sales volume within the scope of the people's Federation. It mainly reports the latest development of information technology in various countries of the people's Federation, as well as the news in the industry."

Hearing this, Hao Yun's face suddenly floated a surprised expression.

"Does this industry... Include video games?"

"Well, I don't know, but I looked through their recent issues of newspapers, and it seems that there is no content related to the game." Moving away from the computer screen, Zhou Ruiling looks at Hao Yun and says, "is it because of the Supercomputing Center we recently invested in?"

Hao Yun nodded and said.

"It seems that's the only possibility."

According to Zhou Ruiling's description, the position of renlian information industry daily in the IT industry is similar to that of time weekly in general news. Video games like world of Warcraft have no chance to enter the sight of such newspapers.

It has nothing to do with fame or how much money you earn. It's just because the painting style doesn't match.

If you think about it carefully, among all the recent businesses of Yunmeng group, the only one that can arouse the interest of this newspaper seems to be the Supercomputing Center that has just started construction.

"Mr. Hao, are you going to accept their interview?"

Hao Yun thought for a while, then suddenly he moved slightly in his heart and said.

"I don't think there's any problem. You can communicate with each other about the specific interview time for me. Try to avoid Monday and Tuesday. It's better to arrange it before the beta version is officially launched. I should be free at other times."

"In addition, you should also remember to communicate with them clearly in advance about the specific content of the interview, and ask them to send us an interview outline if it is convenient."

After carefully recording what Hao Yun ordered, Zhou Ruiling said energetically.

"OK, Mr. Hao! Then I'll answer the letter as you said

Hao Yun nodded, then looked at the time, saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he pushed away his chair and stood up from his desk.

"Well. It's up to you. "

"By the way, after the email is sent, you should go to Yunmeng media to find sun xiaoteng and ask her to come to the group conference room after lunch. I'll wait for her there. There are some things I plan to discuss with her about the recent friction between us and sea lion group in the game business, as well as the publicity and public relations of world of Warcraft. "

Zhou ruining nodded and said with a smile.

"Mm-hmm! Give it to me
