118: Chapter 119 The Physically Soldered Black Box: A Performance Miracle of 500K High Concurrency

Shen Du reined in the extreme madness in his eyes, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk once more.

When those deep eyes lifted again, he had seamlessly switched back from an observer stunned by a technological miracle into that decisive, calculating commander of a business empire.

"These cores are currently just fragile bare dies. We are still one final, critical industrial process away from actually igniting and running them in our core server room."

Shen Du stared at Lin Zimo with burning eyes: "We need to perform precision industrial-grade packaging, as well as integrated soldering onto the motherboard base."

Lin Zimo nodded with a grave expression: "Yes, Boss Shen. Although the prototype in the underground laboratory can achieve atomic-level 'engraving,' we still have to rely on those large-scale contract manufacturers with mature assembly lines to handle this kind of large-scale precision circuit board mounting and peripheral interface soldering."

"The underlying secrets of this batch of goods must absolutely not be leaked, not even the slightest whisper."

Shen Du stood up and decisively issued an order: "Zimo, you'll have to work hard these next few days. Lead the team yourself. Take this batch of goods through covert channels, and specifically choose those large-scale contract manufacturers in the south that are big enough and have reliable technology."

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, hands in his pockets, his tone revealing the flawless calculation of an ambitious mastermind: "Remember, if the contract manufacturer's engineers find the physical wiring of these chips strange and start asking questions, you must stick to a unified story. Insist that this is a batch of 'modded' gray-market goods we paid a sky-high price to 'smuggle' back from the overseas black market."

Shen Du turned around, a flash of resolute ruthlessness in his eyes: "Offer the contract manufacturer a processing fee far higher than the market rate. Tell them the rules: they don't need to perform any testing, and they are absolutely forbidden from reading any data. As long as they follow the blueprints and solder these CPUs and GPUs directly and firmly onto the motherboard base for me!"

"Physically weld them shut!"

Shen Du coldly emphasized these four words: "I want any international giant that attempts to forcibly dismantle these servers in the future, trying to pry into the underlying QW-SOI architecture, to get nothing but a pile of completely scrapped silicon slag the moment they use a heat gun!"

As a technician, Lin Zimo knew better than anyone what this "BGA direct welding" anti-dismantling method meant. He was even more aware of the terrifying multinational joint strangulation that would be unleashed if this batch of hardware, capable of changing the global landscape, were leaked.

He took a deep breath. His back, which had been somewhat hunched from staying up late, suddenly straightened, and he nodded heavily.

"Understood! Boss Shen, you can leave it to me with peace of mind!"

Lin Zimo pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes revealing absolute loyalty and fanaticism: "I will personally go to the production line and keep a close watch! Even if I don't close my eyes for these next few days, I will supervise the entire process of this batch completing its final motherboard integration, so these computing nukes can be sent to our server room for testing as soon as possible!"

After Lin Zimo hurried away, Shen Du finally leaned back slowly into his large leather chair, exhaling a long breath of stale air from his chest.

Because there was no need for underlying wafer fabrication, and it was just simple physical packaging and motherboard soldering, the workload was relatively small. Coupled with the hefty rush-order processing fee Shen Du threw down to pave the way, that large contract manufacturer in the south shut down their other outsourced production lines and ran at full capacity day and night for this batch of "mysterious gray-market goods."

Just ten days later, this batch of super servers, which had been physically welded shut and turned into complete "black boxes," was secretly transported back to Shanghai under the escort of a tight security convoy. They were connected to Jiyuan Technology's underground high-voltage server room overnight and officially ignited for operation!

That night, Lin Zimo, who had been guarding the server room console, sent back a set of terrifying test data via encrypted communication that was enough to go down in internet history.

"Boss Shen! The results are out! The data... the data is simply hair-raising!"

Even through the communicator, Shen Du could clearly see Lin Zimo's incoherent state due to his excitement: "After this batch of servers was networked and running, under our high-pressure simulation environment, they actually ran a terrifying concurrency of over 500K QPS!"

"In other words, they can process up to 500,000 high-frequency dynamic requests per second without any latency!"

"To put it more bluntly, even if these machines were directly integrated into the main network now, they could easily maintain an additional 30 to 50 million active users online simultaneously, and keep data long-connections stable without ever disconnecting!"

Lin Zimo's voice grew louder, revealing a nearly crazed ecstasy: "And that's not even the most exaggerated part! The most outrageous thing is its heat control! Because of the QW-SOI architecture that those monsters created, the heat dissipation is excellent. This batch of machines showed zero performance degradation during testing. Even when we forced the load to 100% full capacity, its core temperature didn't even touch the thermal throttling bottleneck of traditional chips!"

Listening to the roar coming through the encrypted communication device, Shen Du sat in his quiet office, while his mind was frantically calculating the terrifying dividends behind this.

You have to understand, the entire business system of Spark Live and Meituan currently, in order to support that massive traffic of 70 to 80 million people continuously online, Jiyuan Technology has already ruthlessly poured over a billion in huge funds into the procurement of traditional server hardware and data center premiums!

And now? Excluding the meager processing fees paid for wages and the contract manufacturer, the actual input cost of producing this batch of servers themselves is shockingly low!

In just ten days, with a cost of only a few million to ten million, he had conjured up enough terrifying computing power to support 30 to 50 million active concurrent users!

This is the insane profit that comes from truly mastering the underlying core technology!

Facing this kind of technological dividend and profit that could instantly make a person lose their mind and fall into madness, Shen Du, sitting in his office, displayed a chilling composure.

He was not carried away by the huge victory before him. There wasn't even much of a ripple in his eyes. Shen Du knew too well the consequences of a system crash.

Although the paper data of this batch of servers was heaven-defying, he would never allow these "nukes" to be rashly connected to the absolute core main networks of Spark Live and Meituan before fully understanding the true physical limits and long-term stability of this underlying "modded" hardware.

A slight carelessness could trigger a chain collapse of the underlying architecture. Even a few minutes of downtime would be a devastating disaster for the now behemoth-like Jiyuan Technology.

The reason and coldness in his bones made Shen Du quickly type a cold supreme order to Lin Zimo, who was at the peak of his excitement, on the encrypted communication device: "Don't be fooled by the flashy data on the surface; it's not time to pop the champagne yet."

"Start high-pressure testing immediately and crank all simulated high loads to the max for me! Push them to their limits!"

"Continue testing, and do not cut the power! I want to see clearly exactly how long this batch of goods can withstand the most extreme overload operation before physical collapse occurs!"

Once the order was issued, the communication channel fell into a brief silence. On the server room side, looking at this cold, sobering command popping up on the console screen, Lin Zimo took a sharp breath.

Shen Du's judgment, which was always more rational than a machine, pulled him completely out of his blind ecstasy. He rubbed his numb cheeks hard.

Suppressing the hot blood still surging in his heart, he hammered out an "OK" gesture icon on the keyboard in response. Afterward, Lin Zimo picked up the thick black coffee at his side that had long since gone cold, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp. He began the full-load concurrency test.
