Deep Thoughts on the Beach
In California summer, the focus is definitely on sunshine, beaches, and bikinis!
Los Angeles, in particular, boasts many famous beaches. They're not only great for surfing but also popular dating spots for young couples.
To make up for the lack of Yellow Sun he hadn't had since waking up in Alaska in the fall of 1990, Henry would bring his own beach chair and spend entire days at several famous beaches in Los Angeles.
Santa Monica Beach, Venice Beach, Malibu Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Zuma Beach, El Matador State Beach, and Dockweiler Beach.
Each place boasts unique natural scenery and numerous stunning sights, such as surging waves, rolling waves of buttocks, and a forest of honeyed legs, truly a feast for the eyes.
It has to be said that Henry finally had the motivation to Sun Pharma. He wanted to sunbathe every day and never get tired of it.
Of course, this is limited to Sun Pharma. One must also limit the use of one's superpowers, such as those eyes that can see at the atomic level.
If you really see that level of detail, are you trying to describe the balanced beauty of the atomic nucleus and electron trajectories?
However, while Henry Sun Pharma, his Super Brain wasn't just idling away, doing nothing.
This year is 1994. For Henry, the big event of next year, 1995, will be the release of Microsoft's Windows 95 system.
Using a mouse to control the cursor and click icons allows for most computer operations. This eliminates the need for computer users to memorize complex commands and parameters, significantly reducing the difficulty of using a computer.
Although Henry released a Windows package for Linux under the name CK, Linux is ultimately not as powerful as Microsoft's operating system software, which is company-led and integrates many functions.
The very issue of adapting Windows packages to Linux versions presents a formidable challenge for many users. If a package becomes unusable, how can the user recompile it to be compatible with their operating system?
Not only are their functions and performance incomparable, but their learning curves are also vastly different. Linux's only advantage is that it's open-source and free software, while Microsoft's Windows 95 is ridiculously expensive!
However, Henry's focus was not on supporting Linux to steal Microsoft's personal computer market, but on the upcoming World Wide Web trend.
Although the browser war between IE and Netscape was quite exciting and seemed like an opportunity to gain an advantage.
However, if Henry wants to develop an open-source, free browser, he will encounter a problem similar to that of Linux. Although people like to use free things, most people are unwilling to pay for free labor to maintain and modify them.
Unless you're genuinely interested in starting a company, your inconsistent approach to Linux will be no match for a well-funded, established company like Microsoft. At best, you'll just be a troublemaker.
However, whether it's a search engine, a portal website, or a platform that can only be hosted on the Dark Web in the future, the most important part is the server where these software programs are deployed.
Henry had built a server-class computer in his rented apartment in Los Angeles that was more advanced than any modern computer. However, the computer was mainly intended as an experimental platform, not as a real server.
Before today, the network space that CK needed was provided by worms spread by the Joker Forum, which secretly occupied a small portion of the resources on servers in various campuses to deploy their own things.
These websites, secretly deployed on other people's sites, often fail.
Some were discovered by administrators and therefore deleted. After all, these are old technologies from several years ago, and CK doesn't intentionally maintain or upgrade them after deployment. It's not surprising that they were discovered and removed by experienced users.
Some devices simply malfunctioned, so the data they installed inside was lost. The managers weren't obligated to tell CK that the equipment was obsolete and to quickly transfer their data to the new equipment.
Therefore, in order to cope with the upcoming wave of the internet, Henry came up with the idea of building a permanent server.
Of course, this so-called permanence does not mean expecting it to last for millions of years without ever breaking down. Rather, it means finding a suitable location where it will not be damaged by outsiders or forced to relocate due to human interference.
Besides location, there are two other essential conditions for running a server: electricity and a communication network. These cannot be controlled by others and cut off at will.
Henry had no intention of continuing to pay for this. So he planned to find a way to produce his own electricity, and for the communications network, he intended to use existing cables to freeload off the bandwidth resources of the United States.
To meet the above three requirements, the most suitable place to establish a permanent server is the seabed!
The advantages of the seabed in terms of concealment are self-evident.
Although they couldn't get the Ark Reactor design from Tony Stark, they could generate electricity by using ocean currents to drive turbines.
Ocean currents themselves possess stable flow speed and direction, making them far more stable than Sun Pharma or wind power. The key is to find ways to improve the efficiency of power generation.
The communication network naturally targets submarine cables. Given Henry's underwater operational capabilities, adding an extra line to the existing submarine cables would not be a problem.
Based on the above three points, Henry must find a seabed with a suitable terrain where the submarine cable passes and where ocean currents flow. Whether the seabed is flat or not is not so important. If there is a real need, Henry can simply level the seabed.
Furthermore, deploying servers on the seabed offers an additional advantage: the ability to cool the server equipment using water cooling.
First and foremost, it must be emphasized that pure water does not conduct electricity! Water does conduct electricity because of the electrolytes in it.
Therefore, as long as the inner and outer layers are completely isolated to prevent seawater from entering the device, the server can be completely immersed in pure water for heat dissipation.
This water-cooling method can also eliminate the need for fans, indirectly reducing the overall power consumption of the server. The power can then be used to improve performance or expand equipment.
So during this time, Henry was keen on Sun Pharma on beaches around the world, also in order to find a suitable underwater location to establish his own permanent server.
If the initial long-range probes meet the criteria, Henry will personally go into the water to confirm.
We're not just here to take care of our eyes! We have serious business to attend to!
The first underwater server also has another important significance: it tests whether this idea is feasible and whether it can withstand large-scale deployment.
In actual use, will there be any defects that were not anticipated in the initial planning and need to be corrected?
Henry wasn't one of those incredibly wealthy tycoons who could easily set up a secret base, or build supercomputers and servers without anyone noticing or destroying them.
Not to mention the ongoing expenses involved. What If...? things were done through proper channels, electricity and communication fees would have to be paid. With Henry's personal savings, he couldn't afford to run into these expenses for long.
In addition to finding a suitable deployment location, Henry was also thinking about the server equipment.
From chips to hard drives, none of the commercially available products met Henry's needs. Since everything had to be made in-house, the server design and layout didn't need to consider any universal specifications.
The most important consideration is the overall power consumption. How to accurately calculate it and design the corresponding ocean current turbine generator.
This underwater server can be seen as a mini-test for Henry, who has always built his own computer hardware.
What If...? you want to make achievements in the field of technology, rather than simply relying on superpowers to solve all problems, and you don't have the financial resources to back you up, then this is a hurdle you must overcome.
If you can't get past this hurdle, don't even bother with this area in the future. Just use your super power and smash everything in your way.
