Chapter 233: The Scheme

Michael bought a 100,000-square-foot industrial complex and turned it into a hub to house the infrastructure needed to support the VR gaming servers.

Housed on each floor were rows upon rows of sleek, state-of-the-art server racks, each one containing the latest quantum computing technology. The heart of the operation was a central control room on the ground floor, featuring a panoramic view of the entire complex through reinforced glass walls. Here, technicians monitored the health and performance of the servers 24/7.

Each server rack was meticulously designed to optimize performance and efficiency. The racks were arranged in parallel rows with wide aisles between them for easy access and maintenance. Overhead, a network of cable trays carried a web of high-speed fiber optic cables, ensuring lightning-fast data transmission across the facility.

To handle the immense heat generated by the quantum computers, the complex employed a sophisticated cooling system. Above each row of server racks, cold air ducts fed chilled air directly into the servers, while hot air was extracted through a separate set of ducts and routed to a central cooling tower outside the building.

The cooling tower featured advanced evaporative cooling technology, which used water to absorb and dissipate heat, maintaining optimal temperatures within the facility.

On the second floor, dedicated cooling rooms housed industrial-grade chillers and liquid cooling systems. These systems used a combination of chilled water and specialized coolant fluids to maintain the delicate balance required to keep the quantum processors running efficiently.

Each cooling unit was equipped with redundant backup systems to ensure uninterrupted operation, even in the event of a failure.

Powering the entire facility were several massive, high-capacity power transformers located in a separate, secure substation adjacent to the main building. These transformers converted electricity from the local power grid into the precise voltages needed to run the servers and cooling systems.

In addition, the complex had an array of backup generators and a vast bank of batteries to provide continuous power in case of an outage.

The perimeter was protected by a high fence topped with razor wire and monitored by a network of high-definition cameras. Access to the complex was controlled by biometric scanners and keycard systems, ensuring that only authorized personnel could enter sensitive areas.

Within the central control room, a wall of monitors displayed real-time data on server performance, cooling efficiency, and power usage. Technicians sat at ergonomic workstations, ready to address any issues that might arise. The room also housed a conference table and a digital whiteboard for team meetings and strategy sessions.

Juliet nodded, glancing at the rows of server racks and the busy technicians. "The team has been working around the clock to ensure everything is perfect. It's impressive to see it all in action."

Michael looked at her, his expression thoughtful. "This is just the beginning, Juliet. Once we launch, people would look at virtual reality games very differently from what is available on the market today."

Juliet smiled, sharing in his excitement. "And with the infrastructure we've built, we can support millions of users simultaneously. The potential is enormous."

Michael turned back to the control room, where the monitors displayed various metrics. "Let's do a final walkthrough. I want to make sure every detail is perfect."

They walked through the facility, checking each section meticulously. The server rooms hummed with energy, the cooling systems working efficiently to keep temperatures stable. The development rooms were a hive of activity, with developers and engineers making last-minute adjustments.

In one of the testing rooms, a group of developers was immersed in a VR game. Michael paused to watch, noting the seamless interaction and the detailed virtual environment.

"I wonder how people would react after experiencing this."

"They'd be surprised of course," Juliet said. "The investors are anticipating their investments to pay off significantly once they see the public's reaction. This is something the gaming world has never seen before."

"I can't wait for the date of the launch. 2028 is going to be a real banger because that is also the year of my graduation," Michael shared.

"You stopped a lot of semesters and focused solely on your work," Juliet replied.

"Well if I am earning a huge bucks on my business, sometimes there'd come a point where you'd feel studying is useless. But, I have to finish what I started."
