However, memory arrays and hard drive enclosures require separate power supplies and are not controlled by the main power supply.
If we add all of these together, a transformer substation will be needed in the surrounding area.
The total power consumption is around 3,000 kilowatt-hours, which means that 3,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity are used up in one hour of operation.
Large electronic devices do consume a lot of power.
Just like those Bitcoin mining farms in later generations, which may look like small workshops, they actually consume a lot of electricity.
Some build their own hydroelectric power plants, while others even try to steal electricity.
There are reasons why Bitcoin's costs are high in the later stages. One is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to mine, and the other is that the electricity costs are too high, reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, while you can't even get a few coins.
Most of the money has been invested in power plants, and if prices drop, they will suffer huge losses.
Xing Baohua, on the other hand, is not worried about electricity, since he has his own power plant and does not need to worry about costs.
The problem is heat dissipation. Should we discuss with the city about digging an artificial lake? If the water gets warm, then we could add a hot spring project.
A lake cannot be dug, as the surrounding land is all agricultural land, which has already reached the red line. An artificial lake is not small in area, and the current leaders do not have the courage to move it. They persuaded Xing Baohua to go to Honglian Lake in the north, which is a bit small, but can be expanded.
Xing Baohua also had someone survey Honglian Lake to determine how much area it needed to be expanded to withstand the heat dissipation of the rice supercomputer.
The surveyors went there, took one look, and came back without even taking any measurements.
A lake of just a few acres? How dare you call it a lake? It would be more accurate to call it a pond or a ditch. Even the fishponds my family leases are bigger than this.
The expansion would be a massive undertaking.
The only notable feature in central Shandong is Wenchang Lake, which covers an area of 8 square kilometers. While its size and water area are sufficient, it cannot be disturbed.
Because the entire city uses this lake.
So Xing Baohua decided to acquire a plot of land in the High-tech Zone, dig down 100 meters, and use it as a supercomputing main server room.
As for heat dissipation, we'll just use a compressor! There's no other way.
Xing Baohua had just returned to his office when he saw Lao Mou in the lobby.
He stood up excitedly and strode towards Xing Baohua.
"Finally, I've met you."
Xing Baohua asked curiously, "What's wrong? Haven't you been resting well lately? You look so pale."
"I can't sleep well without seeing you."
"Is something wrong over there? If it's urgent, you can contact my secretary! She can handle it."
"Don't mention your secretary. I told her I wanted to see you, and she said you weren't there. When I asked where you were, she said she didn't know. When I asked when you would be back, she said she didn't know either. If it were my secretary, I would have fired her long ago."
"No, if you have something to say, just tell her. If you just say you want to see me, she won't know where I'm going or when I'll be back. She's doing the right thing. So tell me, what's the matter that makes you so anxious to see me?"
