Hearing the mechanized voice of the intelligent system, William frowned and said: "Call a professional male dubbing voice on the Internet for me to listen to. The voice is required to be loud and deep, but slightly deep."
"Understood, sir," a few seconds later the voice of the smart butler reading today's news came from the speaker. It seems that this system is very intelligent and has basic logical ability to choose today's news to read to William.
After listening to several voices, William finally settled on one that sounded a bit like his grandfather Henry. "Okay, that's it. As for your name," William thought for a moment.
This system is modified based on Friday in Marvel, which deletes Friday's independent thinking ability. William's setting is not high in freedom, "You are my assistant butler, let's call it Sunday."
"Okay, sir, I will report to you on Sunday and I will be at your command at any time."
"Retrieve underlying commands, test system status, and test computing speed."
"Command accepted, start testing, testing, testing." After a few dozen seconds, Sunday said: "Sir, the underlying commands are normal, the system is running normally, and the computing speed is extremely low. The existing processor can only complete 3% of the computing requirements.
”.
"Only 3%?" The processor bought for 30 million US dollars can only meet 3% of the computing needs on Sunday. So if you want to use Sunday's computing speed at full speed, don't you have to buy a 1 billion US dollar processor?
And this is still the original version of the system. The hardware level required by a mature system must be multiplied by 10. If the full learning ability on Sunday is given, it must be multiplied by 10 again.
100 billion US dollars, William's forehead was sweating. Even if he went bankrupt, he couldn't afford it. But then he thought about it, it was only 2000, and the performance of the hardware was much lower than it was more than ten years ago. According to the 18-month hardware
If the functions are doubled, the hardware performance will be improved by 1024 times in 15 years.
Forget it, let's take it slow. Let alone 100 billion now, William can't even part with 1 billion US dollars. It's just a beta version now. He doesn't need as much computing power as Sunday now. Let's wait until there is a need later.
After a year and a half, the cost of 1 billion will become only 500 million.
Besides, isn't it a company that can still rent computing resources? Even if William is worried about security issues, there are other ways. Computers in this era don't even use 50% of the computing resources most of the time. William smiled and said: "On Sunday, can you
Have you found out how many vacant servers there are in Oxford?"
"Please wait a moment, sir," Sunday said a minute later: "Sir, there are 2 supercomputers in the entire city of Oxford. They are located at the University of Oxford. There are 647 enterprise-level servers and 34,713 home computers."
These data made William chuckle, "Excluding commonly used servers and supercomputers, what is the probability that someone will notice you borrowing their computing resources from the remaining servers, and how much of your functional needs can be met after borrowing those computing resources."
"Calculating," Sunday said about ten seconds later: "I can borrow vacant computing resources. The probability of being detected is 0.01%. If I only borrow 20% of the vacant computing resources, the probability of being detected is 0. I can
Meets 11% of my computing needs."
This 100% is a bit low, but William also understood that he asked for the removal of commonly used servers on Sunday. Supercomputers and enterprise-class servers were basically eliminated, and these 11% were basically borrowed from home computers.
"Sir, I have to remind you that this 11% improvement is achieved when all computers are turned on."
Damn it, why did you forget this? Home computers and small business computers are not always on. "What is the probability of being discovered if you borrow those two super servers from Oxford University?"
"100%, sir" Sunday replied.
"Why?" William asked in surprise.
"Sir, borrowing computing power consumes a lot of power. Once the power consumption exceeds 10%, although the possibility of the supercomputer system discovering me is only 0.1%, once I borrow it more times, the possibility of being suspected is 100%.
”.
William nodded. It seemed that he had taken it for granted. He was not an idiot. The rapid increase in power consumption would definitely make people suspicious. It seemed that this method could not be used frequently, and it could not even be used again after being used once.
Putting aside the idea of borrowing computing resources, William said: "Help me search the Internet for information about England Electricity and Aston Martin."
"Okay, sir, may I have access to some confidential information?"
"Allow it, but the premise is that there is no threat to the other party and it will not be noticed by the other party," William thought for a while and then said: "I will add an order to you. From now on, all actions in the network will be carried out under the condition of your own safety.
No acts of sabotage are allowed without my order."
"The order is accepted and is being executed. Sir, because it is a non-threatening and confidential entry, the time required will increase by ten times. Please wait patiently."
Looking at the progress on the monitor, it was estimated that it would take more than an hour on Sunday. William sat on a chair and looked at the servers in the basement, feeling the air in the basement that was slowly getting hotter. It seemed that he still had a lot of things to do.
.
He stood up, opened the portal and threw all the packaging and garbage into the abandoned mine. Before leaving, looking at the words on the packaging, William cast a fire spell to burn all the packaging and garbage into ashes.
Returning to the basement, he called the power company in Oxford and asked them to send people to the castle to discuss adding lines and power consumption. He needed to transform the power system in the castle. There will definitely be more servers in the future, and ordinary lines will not be enough before long.
After using it, he also had to renovate the basement himself, convert the computer room into a dust-free computer room, and the cooling system also had to be modified.
Although he can set up an ice magic circle in the computer room, William has always believed that he will never use magic if he can spend money to deal with technology. After all, this is a technological world, and he is not without money.
Moreover, the magic array cannot achieve constant temperature and humidity. The power used by the server changes from time to time, and the temperature will also change with the power used by the server. In this situation, Sunday can control the temperature of the computer room by himself, which is safer than setting up a magic array.
.
"On Sunday, I searched for computer room usage requirements that I could find on the Internet and then placed an order. The conditions in the basement are not suitable for use as a computer room. We have to renovate it. The money is paid with my account at the Bank of England. The account is xx and the password is xx."
"Understood, sir, we are collecting computer room design drawings, and the comparison castle computer room is simplifying the design," Sunday said after more than ten seconds of silence: "The order has been placed, sir."
A minute later, William received a payment confirmation call from the account manager of the Bank of England. After a few words, the other party said goodbye to William politely after giving his password.
After hanging up the phone, William laughed, "It seems that designing you is really a wise move. From now on, I only need to give orders for these trivial matters, and the rest can be handled by you. Very good, Sunday, I will treat you now
very satisfied".
"Thank you, sir, serving you is my mission and the meaning of my existence," said Sunday.
