Chapter 3004: The Faster, the Better!

In his excitement, Ye Chen knew very well that this stroke of genius did not come from himself, but from Lin Wan'er.

Thinking of this, he felt exceptionally grateful to Lin Wan'er.

If it weren't for her reminder, how would he have thought of extorting an AI model from Howard?

After all, his original goal was just to use the medicinal pills to handle the father-son duo of Howard and Steve.

As for the money from selling the pills, he just wanted to use it to do a favor for Helena, which could be considered her remuneration on one hand, and helping the Nordic royal family improve their own strength on the other.

But looking at it now, this unintentionally planted AI model might be his biggest gain from this trip to America!

Therefore, Ye Chen immediately said to Helena: "Helena, find a way to urge Howard to speed up. If he can get this AI model done in the shortest possible time, I will give him an additional purchase right for half a medicinal pill. As long as the AI model lands as soon as possible, he can pay and get it at any time."

Hearing this, Helena couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Ye, with your words, I estimate that Howard, despite his advanced age, will work his life away to do it himself."

Ye Chen smiled: "What I want is for him to work his life away to do it, and the faster, the better!"

"No problem," Helena said: "Then I will contact him right now."

It was currently afternoon in Canada.

Helena had already finished her last public activity with the Canadian officials. After attending the government banquet tonight, she would return to Northern Europe tomorrow morning.

Counting it up, she had a little over ten hours left in Canada.

After hanging up Ye Chen's call, the first thing Helena did was immediately call Howard Rothschild.

And Howard at this moment was preparing to convene an unprecedentedly large meeting. For this meeting, not only would all members of the Rothschild family attend, but all collateral families related to the Rothschild family were also notified to attend.

Having rejuvenated his body, Howard couldn't wait to show everyone his healthy body, vigorous energy, and determination to lead the Rothschild family to create brilliance again, further consolidating his unshakable position as the head of the Rothschild family.

Just before the meeting was about to be convened, Howard received a call from Helena.

He hurriedly had his subordinates notify that the meeting would be postponed by ten minutes, then went to an absolutely safe room and connected Helena's call.

Once the call was connected, he said very respectfully: "Good afternoon, respected Your Majesty the Queen!"

Helena also smiled and said: "Good afternoon, Mr. Rothschild. I wonder if my call is disturbing you right now?"

"No, no!" Howard hurriedly said politely: "Not disturbing at all! Your Majesty the Queen, do you have any instructions for calling me?"

Helena said: "I wanted to congratulate Mr. Rothschild. Your latest AI model upgrade has caused a great shock. It seems it already has the momentum to disrupt the current internet technology landscape! In the future, whether it's from the AI model itself or Nvidia's stock price, the Rothschild family will receive very generous returns. It is truly worth congratulating and amazing!"

Howard said with a chuckle: "Thank you for your affirmation, Your Majesty the Queen. I didn't expect that AI technology could have such a great influence!"

Helena added: "By the way, Mr. Rothschild, regarding the AI model that will land in Northern Europe, I hope Mr. Rothschild can speed up and let this model land in Northern Europe and officially operate as soon as possible."

Howard readily agreed and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, please rest assured. I have been paying close attention to this matter. I have already instructed them to start preparing the hardware. The team specifically responsible for building the cloud center is ready to go to Northern Europe to select a site first. Everything is advancing in an orderly manner, so please rest assured."

Helena asked him: "Then how long does Mr. Rothschild think it will take to get everything done?"

"This..." Howard said: "I have already talked to the person in charge of the AI project. His meaning is that it might take at least two years."

"Two years?!" Helena was shocked and asked with a frown: "Why does it take so long?"

Howard hurriedly explained: "This time isn't considered long, Your Majesty the Queen. I have already understood it in detail. The reason it takes so long is that there are many particularly tricky things inside;"

"For example, our team must first select a suitable place in Northern Europe to build a data center. From site selection to design, then to bidding and construction, it takes a long time to prepare. And the procurement and installation of cabinet equipment, cooling equipment, power supply equipment, and communication optical cables, as well as debugging, also take a long time to complete bit by bit;"

"Besides that, I consulted, and the core hardware for building the AI model is Nvidia's H100 graphics card. This kind of graphics card seems to be specifically for providing computing power for AI models. Basically, all AI models rely on this graphics card to provide computing power. So this graphics card is extremely popular now. Not only is the price skyrocketing, but many companies are holding large amounts of cash and frantically bidding, yet they still can't get the goods. The futures are already lined up for several years later;"

"And building this AI system requires at least thirty-five thousand of this model of graphics card. Just waiting for this batch of graphics cards, two years might not even be enough. I am planning to say hello to the Nvidia side, let them find a way to let me cut in line first, and see if we can compress some time."

Having said this, Howard added: "Oh, by the way, besides these, there is another very troublesome thing, which is the database replication and migration of the AI model. Because the AI model has almost learned all human knowledge and information, the data volume is extremely huge. It is said that if all of it is stored using hard drives, the weight of the hard drives would exceed one hundred and fifty tons;"

"Moreover, they said that if this massive amount of data is transmitted through optical cables, with the existing bandwidth, it might not be transmitted in place for several years. So, after making a backup at the data center site in Silicon Valley, we need to use several trucks specifically for large-scale data migration to send the hard drives, which weigh over one hundred tons and have the data backed up, to Northern Europe. Although this method is much, much faster than transmitting data to Northern Europe, it also requires a large workload. So overall, two years is already very fast."

Helena, upon hearing this, said without hesitation: "Mr. Howard, everything has many difficulties, but I believe that any difficulty can be overcome by doing your best. If you can do your best and think of every possible way to accelerate this matter, then the moment the AI model lands and operates in Northern Europe, I will provide you with a purchase right for half a medicinal pill. You can buy it immediately and take it immediately, without delaying even a minute."

Hearing this, Howard was instantly excited and asked: "Your... Your Majesty the Queen, is this true?!"

Having suffered a stroke once, he now understood a core principle: the Rothschild family is wealthy and powerful, not afraid of losses, and even less afraid of spending money, so being able to live a long life is the most important thing.

As long as he can get the second medicinal pill, the probability of living to over ninety will increase infinitely.

If he could get three, wouldn't he be going straight to one hundred?

Therefore, Helena's words hit his vital point as soon as she spoke.

At this moment, Helena said seriously: "Everything I say is naturally true. I guarantee it with my own reputation and the reputation of the entire Nordic royal family."

Howard hurriedly asked again: "Then how fast do I have to be to get this purchase right?"

Helena thought for a moment and said seriously: "If you ask me, naturally the faster the better. If you want me to give a specific deadline, I personally think it shouldn't exceed one month!" ===== CHAPTER 3005 =====
