Chapter 337 - 325: Try to be a Civilized Person
From the moment Tang Guo joined, the Organization of Water began to spend money. Two-thirds of the three million US dollars borrowed by Yang Yi disappeared on the first night after Tang Guo arrived.
Two million US dollars’ worth of Bitcoin was exchanged for a piece of software.
But the money that needed to be spent was indeed necessary.
Tang Guo picked up her bag, then she said loudly, "Ever since we met on the first day, I have been thinking about what is needed to build a cyberintelligence center. I’ve made a list and estimated the costs, please take a look. Once we have our own personal supercomputer, we can get started."
Tang Guo pulled out a list and pushed it towards Yang Yi. After Yang Yi looked at it, he pushed it in front of Mike.
When Mike looked over the list, his expression became very unpleasant.
"A head node, at least twenty compute nodes, Ethernet switches, power distribution units, server racks, cooling systems, a private IP address range, node naming, a suitable location, 50 high-performance processors, a Linux high-performance computing cluster..."
Mike read through part of it, then he put the list down and said in a deep voice, "It will cost a total of 1.2 million US dollars!"
Tang Guo nodded and said, "My goal is to reach a computational capacity of a quadrillion calculations per second. This list is the bare minimum to achieve that goal. Of course, this computational power is only for a personal supercomputer, but for our needs, reaching this level is completely adequate."
