I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 410 Technology Competition (5081)

Yujun, Qianxun Data Intelligence Center.

Of course, since the concept of AI has emerged this year and Qianxun said it would go ALL IN AI, the data center that was just named the cloud computing center two years ago was renamed the Qianxun Data Intelligence Center.

The data center covers an area of ​​nearly 400 acres and every blade of grass and tree is new. Although it looks grand, it always feels a little too empty.

Six giant computer rooms that have been built and two computer rooms under construction form a semi-enclosed arc, surrounding the complex building where the staff are located in the center.

The lawn was well paved, but the trees were mostly saplings. Under the scorching sun, the small leaves, which were not very lush to begin with, looked wilted. There was not even a shade to provide shade in the empty square.

The LCD screen with the words "Safe Operation XXXXX Hours" that was originally placed in front of the complex building's door no longer displays any information and is just hanging alone outside the complex building's door.

"Brother Bai, the environment of Qianxun's data center is pretty good. It's much bigger than the one in Xinhao, but there are fewer trees. Such a large area is an office area? Does Qianxun have so many people here?"

As soon as he got off the bus, Liu Wenxiao looked around curiously. When he was a graduate student, he followed his supervisor Song Jianguo to Qianxun's data center in Xinhao Yizhuang to work on a project. Compared with that place, Qianxun Yujun's data center was naturally much larger, but it was not very popular.

"Yu County is Robert's hometown. Construction had already begun when I joined Qianxun three years ago. It seems that the first phase of the project has not been officially handed over yet. However, more than 80,000 cabinets were deployed last year and the year before last. In fact, it started operation the year before last."

"The last time I came here was four months ago when Qianxun Cloud was migrating. At that time, we received news that Luosha hackers had invaded. Boss Jiang and our team worked for three days and nights before we finally cleared the other party's backdoor and plugged the zero-day vulnerability."

Liu Wenxiao was full of curiosity: "Hacker war? Is it fierce?"

The IT industry is also full of differences. He is engaged in deep learning and doesn't know much about network security and system security.

Bai Yuheng looked a little embarrassed. "I'm a security development engineer at Qianxun. I don't know much about penetration attack and defense. I'm mainly doing development and providing logistical support to the frontline team. But the Luosha black hat is really powerful. Boss Jiang almost couldn't handle it at that time."

In the field of global Internet security, a considerable proportion of black hats come from Luosha. Luosha black hats are also the most active of all hacker groups in the dark web network black industry. Many black industry data such as the personal information of the Great Zhou Dynasty sold on the dark web are the work of Luosha black hats.

The communication along the way made Bai Yuheng no longer as nervous as before, and he felt that the people in Youzi Technology were quite simple and innocent.

On the contrary, revisiting the old place again made him feel more sad.

His workplace is in Xinhao, but he has come here on business trips quite often in the past two years.

Four months later, when Bai Yuheng came here again, he actually felt that everything had changed.

It was true that things and people had changed. He didn't recognize any of the people in the park. Moreover, these people moved in a very methodical manner and didn't look like Chihiro's people at all.

As soon as the group entered the complex building, they were led into a fully enclosed meeting room. They waited for nearly two hours, which was so boring that they played more than a dozen games of hacking before they were notified to go downstairs.

Zhou Shuzi and Hua Zecheng knew that this was to allow the technical teams of all bidders to enter the venue at the same time to ensure the fairness of the bidding.

"Why Network Technology Co., Ltd., please follow me." A thin and dark-skinned strong young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt drove an electric car in the Qianxun Park and motioned for everyone to get on the car.

what's the situation?
The bidding of various manufacturers for Qianxun was top secret information. Several large manufacturers that had passed the pre-qualification did not tell the technical teams they sent over, and only a few people in the company's management knew about it.

Among the people who came from Youzi Technology this time, only Zhou Shuzi knew the whole situation. Even Shen Shuyao and Hua Zecheng only knew part of the content.

Everyone was a little confused, but when they saw Zhou Shuzi and Hua Zecheng get into the car calmly, they all followed suit.

This time, there were only 12 people from Youzi Technology and Ysou, including Zhou Shuzi and Shen Shuyao, and a 14-seat electric car was just enough to accommodate them.

After the electric car started, it drove directly to one of the IDC computer rooms without going around in circles.

Since the data center has not yet been officially handed over to Qianxun, it has not been officially named. Bai Yuheng has always called this computer room Room No. 3.

This time, in the temporary reception room on the first floor of Computer Room 3, Bai Yuheng saw someone he knew.

Xu Li!

Qianxunyun's vice president!
Although this position is not considered to be the most core executive, as the actual management of Qianxun's core department, he was also considered one of the most popular people within Qianxun in the past.

Next to Xu Li, there was a thin man wearing glasses. Bai Yuheng also knew this man, Wang Pengfei, a senior expert in the system department of Qianxun Yujun Data Center.

Although Xu Li also graduated from a professional school, he was not promoted from R&D. Instead, he was gradually promoted from an operations position by Yuan Shanjun. He is now responsible for the operation and delivery of Qianxun Cloud.

A few months ago, Xu Li would not even look at Bai Yuheng, a person of this level.

But now, Xu Li's face was full of smiles. When he saw Zhou Shuzi and Hua Zecheng, his body automatically bent into a 120-degree obtuse angle, and he jogged over with a bent waist, and actively stretched out his right hand.

"Welcome Mr. Zhou, welcome Mr. Hua, welcome everyone from Ysou and Youzi Technology, I am Xu Li."

Hua Zecheng has never been interested in this kind of pipe material, otherwise he would not have entered a large factory before. He shook hands with Xu Li with a faint expression.

Zhou Shuzi, on the other hand, was approachable. He took Xu Li's hands and shook them up and down with a smile on his face, and then took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Pengfei.

Wang Pengfei pursed his lips, his expression looked a little depressed, and his smile was very forced.

"Is this the first time for all the Lingdao directors from Youzi Technology? Please sit here for a while. When other colleagues arrive, I will show you around the site."

Xu Li asked the staff to give each person a bottle of 5100 glacier water.

It was Xu Li who took the initiative to seek this reception job.

As for Qianxun's acquisition case, due to the takeover from above, Qianxun's current management has no say in it, and they don't even know the specific progress.

Although Xu Li did not know that various companies were bidding for Qianxun, the fact that the higher-ups had arranged for technical teams and senior executives from many large companies to move into Qianxun to help it solve problems was a signal in itself.

He and several of his friends who are also middle-level managers at Qianxun have been discussing possible future development trends these days.

Everyone thinks that Qianxun is likely to be acquired, but no one knows who will acquire it.

At this time, whoever can contact the potential acquirer first and leave a good impression on the other party will have a greater chance of keeping the position after being acquired.

Therefore, I worked with a few friends to seize the opportunity to explain the details of the failure to the five major manufacturers who were nominally providing technical support.

Each enterprise is connected by different management of Qianxun, and who connects with which company is entirely determined by drawing lots.

The company Xu Li drew was Youzi Technology.

Xu Li didn't feel that his luck was bad regarding the result of the draw.

Although many people, including him, think that Ahri and Penguin have the greatest possibilities, but these two are not 720% certain. This time five companies jointly provide technical support to Qianxun. As long as the one drawn is not the stingy , Xu Li can accept it.

Zhou Shuzi was stunned when he heard what Xu Li said. Other colleagues? Didn't each company have an IDC assigned to them so they wouldn't meet each other? Why are there other bidders in this IDC?

Seeing Zhou Shuzi's reaction, Xu Li was also a little confused. He looked at the sparsely populated group of ten or so people and said in disbelief, "Boss Zhou, does that mean no one will come back from Youzi Technology? No way?"

Zhou Shuzi smiled and said, "Yes, we are all here. It seems that other companies have already arrived. I saw on the sign-in sheet that we should be the last one."

Xu Li was dumbfounded.

Several other companies have sent teams of at least a hundred people! What can you do with just a few people?

This is a problem that Qianxun’s thousands of technical teams have not been able to solve!

These people are scattered in such a large IDC and can't even see each other!

Qianxun's IDC computer room has a single building area of ​​nearly 20,000 square meters and more than 20,000 server nodes!
Could it be that my information was wrong, and Ysou didn't want to take over Qianxun at all, and was really here to provide technical support this time?

It’s broken, it’s broken. If I had known earlier, I should have swapped it with Lao Lin and connected it to Didi.

Xu Li's eyes rolled around and suddenly found a familiar face in the small team of ten people in Youzi Technology.

Eh? Isn't this the guy who was rumored to have died suddenly a few days ago? His name was Bai... Bai what? Was he from Jiang Feiyu's department?
This guy used to come here on business trips frequently a few months ago. I was surprised when I heard this gossip.

I am such a soft-hearted person.

Did he search on Y?

Xu Li's eyes flashed, and he decided to find an opportunity to collude with this kid later to see if he could get some inside information.

Anyway, the armed police were guarding outside, and now the three meals a day were delivered by outsiders, and he couldn't go out either, just like being in prison, and he was idle anyway. "Boss Xu, quality is more important than quantity, and we are all very short of time, so we should deal with the business first, and then get to know each other better, what do you think?" Zhou Shuzi took the initiative as soon as he opened his mouth.

Quality is more important than quantity? You mean we are all poor soldiers and only you are the best soldiers?
Although Xu Li was unhappy, he did not dare to act rashly in front of someone of Zhou Shuzi's level.

Not to mention that Qianxun's status in the martial arts world has plummeted now, even in the past, Zhou Shuzi was a person who could have direct conversations with Robert Lee, and he was still two levels away from Yuan Shanjun.

Xu Li slapped his forehead and smiled: "Of course no problem. So, Mr. Wang, you first report the specific situation to the leaders of Ysou."

Wang Pengfei looked at Xu Li, opened the prepared PPT and was about to speak when he heard Hua Zecheng, who had been silent, say, "No need, Engineer Wang, can you transfer the super administrator privileges of the A-03 mirror server we have drawn to us as soon as possible so that we can troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible."

Xu Li and Wang Pengfei both couldn't help but look a little unhappy.

Too arrogant! Too arrogant indeed!
Without knowing anything about the situation and without even introducing yourself, you are ready to take over super management authority?

Do you know what happened?

Computer room No. 1.

More than 70 people squeezed into the temporary reception room with the same layout, and more than people were watching on laptops in the hot and cold channels as Chen Qian, technical director of the Qianxun System Department, introduced the details of the fault to the Ali Security Team.

There is a hint of arrogance on everyone's face, more or less.

And everyone has a work badge around their neck.

"…From July 7 to 6, we conducted multiple comprehensive reviews of system core logs, application logs, and security audit logs. We focused on analyzing system calls and permission change records during critical time windows, but found no abnormal access permission changes, process hangs, or abnormal system restarts…"

“… We checked whether there were any abnormal behaviors or zombie processes in the background daemon processes, scheduling tasks, and self-starting services. No abnormal processes or unknown services were found to occupy system resources…”

"…At the database level, MySQL Check was used for integrity verification, and Percona Toolkit was used to compare data consistency across nodes. No suspicious transaction operations were found in the Binlog log. In the end, no abnormal SQL operations were found in the log, and all queries were in line with expectations…"

"Network and security aspects..."

“At the hardware level…”

“At the AI ​​algorithm and business logic level…”

"In summary, no significant anomalies were found at the system level, database level, network and security level, and hardware level; no obvious error jumps or faulty links were detected at the business logic level and rule engine level; key links such as the cache system and access control have been strictly reviewed and no problems were found..."

After hearing Chen Qian's last words, Ali's CTO, Zhang Ruofeng, whose nickname is Xuan Dian, almost started cursing.

If it were Ahri, he would have thrown the pen in his hand into Chen Qian's face.

After all this talk, everything is normal.

Everything is normal. How did the problem occur?
Isn't this a waste of half an hour of our time?

If everything is normal, you just said that you didn't find any problems and you can check it yourself, isn't that the end of it?

Why do you need to make a PPT like this? Isn't our time time?
"It's okay, Boss. At least we can be sure that the cause of the problem is not simple. It may be hidden in a very small operating unit or an uncovered abnormal scenario."

A technician in his thirties wearing glasses nearby spoke calmly.

Zhang Ruofeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

That’s right, we are Ali, and we are the most powerful technical team in Da Zhou.

"Yuan Mo, perform system-level log and kernel checks on the mirror server."

"Jingchen, check all database ports..."

"Tracing the source of API calls..."

"Ye Lan, security strategy layer..."

"Ge Ying..."

One command after another came out of Zhang Ruofeng's mouth. After each command was issued, the corresponding technical team immediately gathered and quickly entered work mode.

The technical team of more than a hundred people is like a group of well-trained worker ants, shuttling back and forth between each other, each doing their own thing, but efficiently.

This is our Ahri’s iron army!

Looking at the real-time status of each group of the newly developed middle-office system on the computer screen, Zhang Ruofeng's eyes were filled with pride.

Everyone knows that Zhou Gong is Ali's Iron Army, but few people know that the real Ali's Iron Army are us!
We are the real core of Ahri! The strongest technical team of Da Zhou!
The same scene is also happening in IDC No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5.
-

Comprehensive building, Qianxun Yujun Data Center Monitoring Room.

Ma Yun stared at the big screen closely, and when he saw the status of Ahri's technical team of 100 people, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at Qiu Hongyi and Mahua Teng next to them, they were also staring at the monitoring screen, closely following the progress of their team.

There were quite a few visitors from every restaurant this time. The least visited was Didi, which had more than 80 people.

In the end, there were five companies that passed the prequalification, not to mention Penguin, Ali, and Ysou, which had already decided to participate.

I don’t know which big shot 720 found to endorse it, so that the higher-ups recognized its valuation of billion.

The other company is Didi, which did not even attend the meeting before.

Huh? Why are there only a few people from Youzi Technology? Ma Yun exchanged a few words with Huang Jian, the "doctor" beside him. Huang Jian also frowned when he saw the team of Youzi Technology.

There isn’t even a single technician involved in network security system architecture!

Except for an unknown and timid-looking thirty-something office worker, all of them are young researchers who have become famous in the field of large models in the past few months.

What exactly does Yuzu Technology want to do? Has it given up?

Different fields have different worlds. Qianxun’s problems may be related to systems, architecture, logic, algorithms, security... but they are unlikely to be related to big models.

What’s the point of having so many people engaged in deep learning?

Hearing Huang Jian's introduction, Ma Yun couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then looked at Fang Yu, who was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed and a relaxed look on his face.

Could it be that Ysou doesn’t want to acquire Qianxun?

Then why does he do so many things?
Besides Ahri, of course 720 is the one who pays the most attention to Ysou.

Whether above or in the search market, Ysearch is now in direct conflict with 720.

With Qiu Hongyi's personality, I don't care who you are, if you fight with me, I will definitely beat you.

If I can’t do it, I’ll just give in.

The main dish is a rolling meat.

When Qiu Hongyi saw that Ysou only sent a technical team of ten people to provide technical support, she was delighted on the spot.

"Mr. Fang, is Ysou here to accompany the bid?" Qiu Hongyi, wearing a red T-shirt, grinned, with a few long nose hairs squeezed out of his nostrils.

Fang Yu remained calm and said, "Boss Qiu, there are more than 130 of you here. You must have spent a lot of money on travel, right? How many days did you book the hotel?"

Qiu Hongyi laughed: "How can you care about such a small cost when doing business? There aren't many good hotels in this place, and even booking for a week doesn't cost much. Mr. Fang can't be worried about the travel expenses so he gave up, right? Hahaha."

Fang Yu chuckled: "It's booked for a week, then you've made a profit, Mr. Qiu. Let your team check out and book a high-speed train back to Xinhao tonight, you can save a lot on the room fee."

"Don't look down on small amounts of money. A week's accommodation for more than a hundred people may one day be enough to cover your annual living expenses, Mr. Qiu."
